Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, and in particular to a pin hole positioning fixture for machining. Background Technology

[0002] Pin hole positioning fixtures play a vital role in the machinery manufacturing industry, primarily used for positioning precision parts during machining, such as automotive engine parts (connecting rods, crankshafts, bearings, cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, etc., which are assembled and positioned using pin holes). Their function is to accurately determine the part's position during machining based on the pin holes, thereby ensuring the accuracy of subsequent machining and being crucial for improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0003] In practical applications, pin hole positioning fixtures for machining typically include the following key components:

[0004] 1. Locating pin assembly: It is generally composed of round locating pins and diamond locating pins. The round locating pins are used to determine the center position of the part, while the diamond locating pins play the role of restricting the rotation of the part. The two work together to achieve precise positioning of the part.

[0005] 2. Support structure: The most common type is the base plate, which provides a stable support platform for the locating pins and the parts to be processed, ensuring that the parts will not shift or shake during the processing.

[0006] 3. Auxiliary devices: Some tooling is equipped with auxiliary devices, such as clamping mechanisms, to stabilize the parts during processing and prevent the parts from shifting due to external forces.

[0007] Currently, various pin-hole positioning tooling solutions are used in the industry to achieve precise positioning. Some tooling adopts an integrated design, fixing the positioning pin and the base plate together to ensure a certain level of accuracy when machining parts of specific specifications; others improve positioning accuracy by optimizing the shape and size of the positioning pin; in addition, some advanced tooling introduces high-precision measuring instruments to assist positioning in order to meet higher machining accuracy requirements.

[0008] However, existing implementation methods still have many problems. Regarding positioning accuracy, due to factors such as equipment wear and manufacturing tolerances of parts, the tooling with an integrated fixed structure is difficult to adjust flexibly, leading to a gradual decrease in positioning accuracy and affecting product quality. In terms of the ease of handling parts, the design of some tooling is limited, making it easy for parts to jam during handling, reducing production efficiency. This application proposes a solution to these problems: a machining pin-hole positioning tooling that uses a specific combination of circular and diamond-shaped pins and has a height-adjustable base plate. This tooling provides precise positioning when placing parts, and the handling of parts is less prone to jamming. Adjusting the height of the base plate via screws can compensate for machining errors, improve positioning accuracy, and adapt to various parts of different sizes, enhancing the tooling's versatility and reducing enterprise costs. Utility Model Content

[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a pin hole positioning fixture for machining, which solves the problem that the integrated fixed structure of the fixture is difficult to adjust flexibly, resulting in a gradual decrease in positioning accuracy and affecting product quality. In terms of the convenience of picking up and putting down parts, the design of some fixtures is limited, making it easy for parts to get stuck during the picking and putting down process, thus reducing production efficiency.

[0013] Preferably, the upper surface of the support plate is provided with a rectangular groove, which is movably engaged with the support reference. Both bolts have a hexagonal nut threaded onto their annular sides, and both bolts are movably engaged with the support plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The diamond-shaped locating pin can restrict the rotation of the workpiece in the Y direction, while not contacting the inner wall of the pin hole in the X direction. This avoids secondary positioning in the X direction. By installing the circular locating pin and the diamond-shaped locating pin diagonally, both center positioning and workpiece rotation are achieved, ensuring positioning accuracy and meeting the needs of precision parts processing. This positioning method is suitable for processing precision parts such as automotive engine parts, ensuring accurate positioning when placing parts and preventing jamming when picking up or placing parts.

[0016] 2. Adjust the support plate to the required height by rotating the hexagonal nut two. After adjustment, re-fit the hexagonal nut two for limiting and fixing. The overall modular assembly can adjust the relative height between the workpiece and the tool according to the processing requirements.

[0024] Example

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the technical problems of the integrated fixed structure tooling being difficult to adjust flexibly, leading to a gradual decrease in positioning accuracy and affecting product quality. Furthermore, the design limitations of some tooling in terms of the ease of handling parts make it easy for parts to get stuck during handling, reducing production efficiency. The overall approach is as follows:

[0026] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a pin hole positioning fixture for machining, including a base plate 1, a support plate 2 above the base plate 1, a support reference 3 on the upper surface of the support plate 2, a workpiece 4 on the upper surface of the support reference 3, a rhomboid positioning pin 6 and a circular positioning pin 7 movably sleeved inside the workpiece 4, two bolts 5 movably engaging inside the base plate 1, and two hexagonal nuts 14 threaded onto the annular sides of the two bolts 5, and two pin holes 8 formed on the upper surface of the workpiece 4, which movably engage with the rhomboid positioning pin 6 and the circular positioning pin 7 respectively. The main function of the circular positioning pin 7 is to determine the center. When placing the workpiece 4, the workpiece 4 is initially positioned with the circular positioning pin 7 as the center. When the workpiece 4 is placed on the support reference 3, the workpiece 4 is positioned further. After positioning 3, the workpiece 4 will tend to rotate around the circular locating pin 7. This movement needs to be restricted. Since the rotation of the workpiece 4 around the circular locating pin 7 will affect the positioning accuracy, a rhomboid locating pin 6 is added. Its function is to stop rotation. It can restrict the rotation of the workpiece 4 in the Y direction, and at the same time, it does not contact the inner wall of the pin hole 8 in the X direction. This can avoid secondary positioning in the X direction. By installing the circular locating pin 7 and the rhomboid locating pin 6 diagonally, both center positioning and the rotation of the workpiece 4 are achieved, ensuring the positioning accuracy and meeting the needs of precision parts processing. This positioning method is suitable for processing precision parts such as automotive engine parts, and can ensure accurate positioning when placing parts, and the picking and placing of parts is not easy to get stuck.

[0027] The support reference 3 has two pairs of internal hexagonal screws 9 threaded into its internal threads.

The upper surface of the support plate 2 has two pairs of threaded holes 12, which are threaded into the two pairs of internal hexagonal screws 9 respectively. The upper surface of the support plate 2 has a rectangular groove 11, which is movably engaged with the support reference 3. Both bolts 5 have hexagonal nuts 13 threaded into their annular sides. Both bolts 5 are movably engaged with the support plate 2. During use, the two bolts 5 are engaged in the grooves on the lower surface of the base plate 1, at which point the hexagonal nuts 13 are threaded into the bolts 5 and engaged with the base plate. 1. The upper surfaces are fitted together to fix the two in a limited position. Then, hexagonal nuts 2 and 14 are fitted onto the surface of bolt 5 again, and the support plate 2 is connected to the two bolts 5. At this time, the support plate 2 is adjusted to the required height by rotating hexagonal nuts 2 and 14 as needed. After adjustment, hexagonal nuts 2 and 14 are fitted again for fixed positioning. The overall modular assembly can adjust the relative height between the workpiece 4 and the tool according to the processing requirements. For example, when performing different processes such as milling and drilling, a reasonable height of workpiece 4 can allow the tool to perform at its best. Adjusting the height of the support plate 2 by bolts 5 and hexagonal nuts 2 and 14 improves the overall practicality, optimizes processing parameters, and improves processing efficiency and surface quality.

[0028] Among them, the base plate 1 serves as the basic support component of the tooling, providing an installation platform for the support plate 2, etc., and in conjunction with the bolts 5, it can realize the adjustment of the tooling height, playing a supporting and height adjustment foundation role in the entire tooling.

[0029] Support plate 2: Connects base plate 1 and support reference 3. The height is adjusted by bolts 5 and hex nuts (hex nut 13 and hex nut 24), thereby adjusting the relative height between workpiece 4 and tool and optimizing the machining process. It is a key component for height adjustment and connection.

[0030] Support reference 3: It supports the workpiece 4 and is connected and fixed to the support plate 2 by the internal hex screw 9 to ensure the stability of the workpiece 4 during processing and provide stable support for the processing of the workpiece 4;

[0031] Workpiece 4: This is the object to be processed. It is precisely positioned by the cooperation of pin hole 8 and positioning pin (diamond positioning pin 6 and round positioning pin 7). The processing steps are completed on the support datum 3. It is the core processing target of the tooling service.

[0032] Bolt 5: Connects to base plate 1 and support plate 2, and works with hexagonal nuts (hexagonal nut 13 and hexagonal nut 24) to adjust the height of support plate 2 to meet different processing requirements. It is a key connecting component for height adjustment.

[0033] Rhomboid locating pin 6: works with circular locating pin 7 to restrict the rotation of workpiece 4 in the Y direction, avoid secondary positioning in the X direction, ensure positioning accuracy, and work together with circular locating pin 7 to ensure positioning accuracy;

[0034] Circular locating pin 7: Determines the center position of workpiece 4, enabling initial positioning of workpiece 4. It works in conjunction with rhomboid locating pin 6 to ensure positioning accuracy and is a key component for the initial positioning of workpiece 4.

[0035] Pin hole 8: It is formed on workpiece 4 and is movably connected with diamond locating pin 6 and circular locating pin 7 to achieve precise positioning of workpiece 4. It is an important structure for achieving precise positioning of workpiece 4.

[0036] Hex socket screw 9: Used to connect the support reference 3 and the support plate 2, so as to fix the two and ensure the stability of the tooling structure. It is a fastening component connecting the support reference 3 and the support plate 2.

[0040] Hex nut 13: It works with bolt 5 to limit and fix bolt 5 and base plate 1, ensuring the stability of the tooling structure and playing a preliminary limiting and fixing role.

[0041] Hex nut 214: Used with bolt 5 to adjust the height of support plate 2. After adjustment, fix it again to ensure stable height position. It is a key component for fixing after height adjustment.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] The main function of the circular locating pin 7 is to center the workpiece. When placing the workpiece 4, it is initially positioned around the circular locating pin 7. After the workpiece 4 is placed on the support reference 3, it tends to rotate around the circular locating pin 7, which requires subsequent restriction. Since the rotation of the workpiece 4 around the circular locating pin 7 will affect the positioning accuracy, a rhomboid locating pin 6 is added. Its function is to stop rotation. It can restrict the rotation of the workpiece 4 in the Y direction, and at the same time, it does not contact the inner wall of the pin hole 8 in the X direction, thus avoiding secondary positioning in the X direction. By installing the circular locating pin 7 and the rhomboid locating pin 6 diagonally, both center positioning and restriction of the rotation of the workpiece 4 are achieved, ensuring positioning accuracy and meeting the needs of precision parts processing. This positioning method is suitable for processing precision parts such as automotive engine parts, ensuring accurate positioning when placing parts and facilitating the picking and placing of zeros. The components are not prone to jamming. During use, the two bolts 5 are engaged in the grooves on the lower surface of the base plate 1. At this time, hexagonal nuts 13 are threaded onto the surface of the bolts 5 and fit against the upper surface of the base plate 1, so that the two are in a limited and fixed state. Then, hexagonal nuts 24 are threaded onto the surface of the bolts 5, and the support plate 2 is connected to the two bolts 5. At this time, the support plate 2 is adjusted to the required height by rotating hexagonal nuts 214 as needed. After adjustment, hexagonal nuts 214 are threaded onto the support plate 2 again for limited and fixed position. The overall modular assembly can adjust the relative height between the workpiece 4 and the tool according to the processing requirements. For example, when performing different processes such as milling and drilling, a reasonable height of the workpiece 4 can allow the tool to perform at its best. By adjusting the height of the support plate 2 through the bolts 5 and hexagonal nuts 214, the overall practicality is improved, the processing parameters are optimized, and the processing efficiency and surface quality are improved.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
