Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Engine components are a collective term for all the parts that make up an engine and enable it to operate normally. They mainly include components of the crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism, such as pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, and crankshafts, which are responsible for converting the reciprocating motion of the pistons into the rotational motion of the crankshaft, providing power to the engine. Valve train components, such as valves, valve springs, and camshafts, are responsible for opening and closing the intake and exhaust valves at appropriate times according to the engine's working cycle and firing order, allowing fresh air-fuel mixture to enter the cylinders and exhaust gases to be expelled promptly. Fuel supply system components, such as fuel injectors and fuel pumps, are responsible for precisely injecting fuel into the cylinders to mix with air to form a combustible mixture. In addition, there are components of the cooling system, such as water pumps and radiators, and of the lubrication system, such as oil pumps and oil filters. These components work together to ensure the engine operates under suitable temperature and lubrication conditions, maintaining the engine's overall performance and reliability.

[0003] Engine component machining fixtures are process equipment used to fix, position, and support workpieces during engine component machining. They ensure the workpiece maintains the correct position and orientation during machining, guaranteeing machining accuracy. For example, when performing drilling, milling, and grinding operations on critical components such as engine blocks and crankshafts, the fixture can precisely position the workpiece, preventing displacement or wobbling during machining, thus ensuring that parameters such as hole diameter, flatness, and perpendicularity meet design requirements. Simultaneously, machining fixtures improve machining efficiency by quickly clamping workpieces, reducing auxiliary machining time.

[0004] However, existing machining fixtures for some engine parts cannot securely and effectively fix the parts. During machining, the parts often experience slight displacement and wobbling, which not only makes it difficult to guarantee machining accuracy but also significantly increases the defect rate. Fixture plate replacement also faces significant challenges. Traditional fixing methods and connection designs make fixture plate replacement cumbersome and complex, requiring considerable time and manpower, and preventing rapid fixture plate replacement. This severely impacts the continuity and efficiency of production. Therefore, to address these shortcomings, a machining fixture for engine parts is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a machining fixture for engine parts, aiming to improve the problem that some existing machining fixtures for engine parts cannot effectively fix the parts and cannot quickly replace the fixture plate.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A machining fixture for engine parts includes a base and a fixture plate. A support block is fixedly connected to the top right side of the base.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a machining fixture for engine parts, comprising a base 1 and a fixture plate 6. The base 1 serves as the basic support component of the entire machining fixture. A support block 2 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the base 1, and the support block 2 mainly serves as auxiliary support. Mounting seats 3 are fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the base 1. A fourth-axis rotary table 4 is mounted on the adjacent side of the two mounting seats 3. The mounting seats 3 are used to mount the fourth-axis rotary table 4. Support plates 5 are fixedly connected to the output ends of the two fourth-axis rotary tables 4. The bottom of the fixture plate 6 contacts the top of the support plate 5, and the support plate 5 provides support for the fixture plate 6. Multiple positioning blocks 1 7 are fixedly connected to the top of the fixture plate 6. Positioning blocks 1 7 are used to initially determine the placement position of the part to be processed on the fixture plate 6. Multiple positioning blocks 2 8 are fixedly connected to the top of the fixture plate 6. Each of the multiple positioning blocks 2 8 has an adjusting rod 9 inside. The positioning blocks 2 8 mainly serve to support and fix the adjusting rod 9, ensuring the stability of the adjusting rod 9 during operation.

[0028] Multiple adjusting rods 9 are fixedly connected to positioning fan rings 10 at their ends away from positioning block 2 8. By adjusting the length of the adjusting rods 9, the position of the positioning fan rings 10 can be changed, thereby enabling more stable clamping and positioning of the workpiece to be processed, to adapt to the processing requirements of engine parts of different sizes and shapes. Multiple positioning blocks 3 11 are fixedly connected to the top of the fixture plate 6. Positioning blocks 3 11 cooperate with positioning block 1 7 and positioning fan rings 10 to jointly determine the precise position of the workpiece to be processed on the fixture plate 6. When the workpiece to be processed is placed on the fixture plate 6 along the edges of positioning block 1 7, positioning fan rings 10 and positioning blocks 3 11, preliminary positioning and preliminary clamping of the workpiece can be achieved. Multiple fixing components for positioning are installed on the top of the support plate 5, and positioning components for guidance are provided on the top of the support plate 5.

[0029] Reference Figures 3 to 5The fixture plate 6 is fastened by multiple fixing components, each including a cylinder 12. The bottom of each cylinder 12 is mounted on top of the support plate 5. The cylinder 12 serves as the power source for the rapid fixing of the fixture plate 6. Each cylinder 12 has a push rod 13 fixedly connected to its drive end, and a sliding block 14 is fixedly connected to the top of each push rod 13. The push rod 13 transmits the linear motion of the cylinder 12 to the sliding block 14. When the push rod 13 is displaced under the drive of the cylinder 12, the sliding block 14 moves accordingly. Each sliding block 14 has a clamping plate 15 fixedly connected to its bottom, and two clamping posts 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each clamping plate 15. The fixture plate 6 has multiple slots 17 inside. When the clamping plate 15 slides into slot 17, the clamping posts 16 simultaneously slide into slot 28, forming a tight fit with slot 28, further improving the fixing effect of the fixture plate 6 and preventing displacement or shaking of the fixture plate 6 during processing. The external sliding connection of the card plate 15 is to the inside of the card slot 17, and the inside of the clamp plate 6 is provided with multiple card slots 18. The external sliding connection of the card post 16 is to the inside of the card slot 18.

[0030] When the sliding block 14 moves downward under the drive of the cylinder 12, the clamping plate 15 slides into the interior of the first clamping slot 17, and at the same time, the clamping post 16 slides into the interior of the second clamping slot 18, thereby achieving the positioning and fixing of the clamping plate 6. The positioning assembly includes two positioning posts 20, the bottoms of which are fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the support plate 5, respectively. Positioning grooves 19 are provided on both the left and right sides of the interior of the clamping plate 6. The exterior of the positioning posts 20 is slidably connected to the interior of the positioning grooves 19. The positioning grooves 19 are used to cooperate with the positioning posts 20 to achieve the initial positioning between the clamping plate 6 and the support plate 5, thereby ensuring the installation accuracy of the clamping plate 6 on the support plate 5.

[0031] Working principle: When it is necessary to install the clamping plate 6 in the machining fixture for engine parts, firstly, the positioning pin 20 at the bottom of the clamping plate 6 can be aligned with the inside of the positioning groove 19. Then, the clamping plate 6 can be placed on top of the support plate 5. Subsequently, the cylinder 12 can be activated to drive the push rod 13 and the sliding block 14 to move. At this time, the sliding block 14 will move downward, which will allow the clamping plate 15 to slide into the first clamping groove 17 and the clamping pin 16 to slide into the second clamping groove 18, thereby achieving the positioning and fixing of the clamping plate 6, thus realizing the... The quick installation of the clamping plate 6 is now possible. When disassembly and replacement are required, simply reverse the above steps. When using the machining fixture for this engine part, simply place the part to be processed on the top of the clamping plate 6, and then insert the part to be processed into the top of the clamping plate 6 along the edges of the positioning block 1 7, the positioning fan ring 10 and the positioning block 3 11. At this time, the position of the positioning fan ring 10 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjusting rod 9, so that the part to be processed can be clamped and positioned more securely, ensuring stability in the subsequent processing.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
