[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the implementations of the base model disclosed below.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the transverse groove machining device for mounting pressure plate fittings of electrified railway cantilever insulators according to this utility model includes a clamping mechanism and a cutting tool mechanism. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the workpiece to be machined (cantilever blank, with two machined parts of mounting transverse grooves 15 and two opposite pin holes 14 on the outer circle), and the cutting tool mechanism is used to install and drive the cutting tool for machining the mounting transverse grooves.

[0024] The clamping mechanism includes a base plate 1, a first positioning block 4, a second positioning block 5, and a push cylinder 6. The first positioning block 4 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 1, and the second positioning block 5 is movably mounted on the base plate 1. The inner sides of the two positioning blocks are opposite each other and each has an arc-shaped groove that matches the outer circle of the arm to be processed. The inward extension length of the top of the arc-shaped groove is less than the inward extension length of the bottom, so that when the two positioning blocks are close to the outer circle of the arm to be processed, the processing parts of the two mounting transverse grooves 15 are exposed. The telescopic end of the push cylinder 6 is connected to the outer side of the second positioning block 5 and is used to push the second positioning block 5 toward the first positioning block 4 or to drive the second positioning block 5 away from the first positioning block 4.

[0025] Workpiece 13 can be clamped and fixed by the arc-shaped grooves in two positioning blocks. The first positioning block 4 is fixedly installed, and the second positioning block 5 moves closer to or further away from the first positioning block 4 under the extension and retraction of the push cylinder 6. When no workpiece is placed, the push cylinder 6 is in a retracted state, providing a large space for workpiece loading and unloading between the two positioning blocks. When the workpiece is placed, the push cylinder 6 is in an extended state, so that the inner sides of the two positioning blocks are tightly against the outer circle of workpiece 13, thus clamping and fixing workpiece 13. The operation is simple and requires low skill level and proficiency from the operator. The arc-shaped inner wall of the arc-shaped groove on the inner side of the two positioning blocks is consistent with the shape of the corresponding arc-shaped part on the outer circle of workpiece 13, ensuring that the arc-shaped groove can tightly adhere to workpiece 13. The bottom of the arc-shaped groove is longer than the top. When the arc-shaped groove is against the outer circle of workpiece 13, the inner end of the top is located outside the part of the horizontal groove 15 to be machined on workpiece 13, ensuring that the machining part of the horizontal groove 15 is exposed between the tops of the two arc-shaped grooves when against workpiece 13, facilitating milling. Here, the inner side refers to the side closest to the center of the workpiece (or the workpiece placement position), and the outer side refers to the side furthest from the center of the workpiece.

[0026] The tooling mechanism includes a three-jaw chuck 9 and a tooling unit. The tooling unit includes a cutter shaft 11 and two disc cutters 10. The rear end of the cutter shaft 11 is secured to the three-jaw chuck 9, and the two disc cutters 10 are fitted onto the front of the cutter shaft 11. The two disc cutters 10 can be rotated simultaneously by driving the three-jaw chuck 9 to machine two mounting transverse grooves 15 on the workpiece 13 at the same time. In practical applications, this tooling mechanism is designed according to the specifications and dimensions of the workpiece. The width of the two disc cutters 10 is consistent with the width of the two mounting transverse grooves 15, and the distance between the two disc cutters 10 is consistent with the distance between the two mounting transverse grooves 15.

[0027] In one optional embodiment, the arc-shaped grooves of the two positioning blocks also have a positioning function. Positioning pins are provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped grooves to engage with the pin holes 14 on both sides of the workpiece's outer diameter for positioning when the workpiece 13 is clamped. Here, the position of the positioning pins matches the position and size of the two corresponding pin holes 14 on the workpiece's outer diameter. When the two positioning blocks approach and clamp the workpiece 13, the positioning pins can be inserted into the corresponding pin holes 14 to achieve positioning of the workpiece 13, preventing workpiece misalignment and ensuring the accuracy of the machined and installed transverse groove position.

[0028] Optionally, the clamping mechanism includes a first mounting plate 2, which is vertically fixedly mounted on the base plate 1. The outer side of the first positioning block 4 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the first mounting plate 2, thereby providing stable support for the first positioning block 4. Further, a support rib 8 is provided on the outer side of the first mounting plate 2. The support rib 8 can be a triangular rib, with its lower side fixedly connected to the base plate 1 and its left side fixedly connected to the outer side of the first mounting plate 2. The support rib 8 further enhances the installation stability of the first mounting plate 2.

[0029] Optionally, the clamping mechanism further includes a second mounting plate 3, which is vertically fixed on the base plate 1. A through hole is provided on the second positioning plate, allowing the push cylinder 6 to be installed on the outer side of the second mounting plate 3. Its telescopic rod passes through the through hole from the outer side of the second positioning plate and connects to the outer side of the second positioning block 5, thus providing stable support for the push cylinder 6 through the second mounting plate 3. Furthermore, support ribs 8 are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the second mounting plate 3, enhancing the installation stability of the second mounting plate 3.

[0030] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the processing device further includes a tool driving mechanism. The tool driving mechanism may include a robotic arm, a slide on a machine tool, a cylinder, or other feeding device capable of driving the tool mechanism to move. By connecting the three-jaw chuck 9 to the feeding device, after the workpiece 13 is placed and clamped, the device can be used to move the three-jaw chuck 9 to align the two disc cutters 10 with the two mounting slots 15 of the workpiece 13 for processing. In addition, the tool driving mechanism may also include a motor or other driving device that drives the three-jaw chuck 9 (driving the cutter shaft 11 and the disc cutters on it) to rotate. This device is used to drive the disc cutters 10 to rotate and perform milling when the two disc cutters 10 move to the working position. In conjunction with the feeding device, the two mounting slots 15 can be processed simultaneously.

[0031] In one optional embodiment, when using this device to perform the installation of transverse grooves, firstly, in the preparation stage, the components of the device are set up and assembled according to the specifications and dimensions of the workpiece to be processed. Then, the device is installed on the machine tool by fixing the base plate 1 to the machine tool platform and fixing the tool mechanism (including its drive device) to the machine tool slide. Here, the disc cutter 10 is aligned with the transverse groove processing part of the workpiece 13, and is driven by the slide to move up and down to achieve feed and retraction. Then, in the workpiece clamping stage, the workpiece blank is placed into the workpiece 13 with the two installation transverse groove processing parts facing upwards and the two pin holes 14 horizontally facing both sides. The push cylinder 6 is activated to extend and drive the second positioning block 5 to move towards the first positioning block 4 to clamp the workpiece 13, completing the positioning and clamping of the workpiece 13. Then, in the transverse groove processing stage, the machine tool slide is started to feed and the drive device is started. The disc cutter 10 rotates to complete the milling, and the two installation transverse grooves 15 are processed in one go. Then, the slide and cylinder are retracted to remove the processed workpiece 13. By changing the workpiece and repeating the workpiece clamping and cross-grooving steps, batch production operations of workpiece installation and cross-grooving can be carried out.

[0032] In practical application scenarios, the components such as the base plate 1, mounting plate, positioning block, support rib plate 8, and disc cutter 10 in the electrified railway cantilever insulator pressure plate fitting installation transverse groove processing device of this utility model embodiment can be designed with specific shapes and sizes according to the specifications and models of the cantilever and its installation transverse groove to be processed in the actual working conditions. The three-jaw chuck 9, cylinder and other components can adopt existing equipment with corresponding functions and specifications in the prior art according to the component size and driving force requirements in the actual working conditions.

[0033] Furthermore, the transverse groove machining device for mounting pressure plate fittings for electrified railway cantilever insulators can also be equipped with other devices or components, or the actual installation positions of each device or component can be adjusted to achieve the practical application or other functions of the ear hole drilling device. For example, optionally, the tool mechanism also includes a center member 12, which is mounted on the front side of the cutter shaft 11 and abuts against the front end of the cutter shaft 11 to firmly hold the cutter shaft 11 and prevent the cutter shaft 11 from being misaligned during machining operations; of course, the center member 12 is also equipped with a mounting support mechanism that enables the center member 12 to be installed stably and can move synchronously with the feed device driving the tool.

[0034] Depending on the implementation needs, the various components of the ear-drilling device described in the embodiments of this utility model can be disassembled into more components, or two or more components or parts of components can be combined into new components to achieve the purpose of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0035] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
