Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of precision casting processing, specifically a grooving device for precision castings. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of precision casting manufacturing, grooving is a key processing step that is of great significance for the subsequent assembly, connection and performance optimization of castings.

[0003] According to the published patent 202421316044.0, a grooving device for processing aluminum alloy die castings, the device includes a housing. Fixed support legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the housing. A base plate is provided inside the housing. Clamping components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the base plate. A grooving component is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the housing. Inclined guide platforms are symmetrically and fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing. This invention can clamp workpieces of different specifications, preventing them from shifting or falling during grooving. It also has cooling capabilities, thus cooling the high temperatures generated by high-speed cutting during grooving, preventing damage to the workpiece and milling cutter. Furthermore, it can collect and separate solid and liquid contaminants generated during grooving, preventing contaminants from affecting the processing process and environment.

[0004] However, in practice, traditional grooving devices typically involve clamping the casting onto the bottom plane of the device using a jig, followed by a milling cutter above the device grooving the casting surface. This grooving method generates a large amount of metal debris during the cutting process. Due to the cutting force, this debris not only accumulates in the newly created groove, forming difficult-to-remove residues, but also splashes onto other surfaces of the casting due to spatter during the cutting process. For those skilled in the art, an additional cleaning step is required after grooving, necessitating the use of specialized tools or equipment such as air guns, brushes, or vacuum cleaners to remove debris from the groove and surface of the casting, increasing workload and time. Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to practical needs, and provide a grooving device for precision castings. This addresses the problem that current traditional grooving devices typically involve clamping the casting on the bottom plane of the device using a jig, followed by a milling cutter above the device grooving the casting surface. This grooving method generates a large amount of metal debris during the milling process, which, due to the cutting force, not only accumulates in the newly created groove, forming difficult-to-remove residues, but also splashes onto other surface areas of the casting due to the cutting process. For those skilled in the art, after completing the grooving operation, an additional cleaning process is required, necessitating the use of specialized tools or equipment such as air guns, brushes, or vacuum cleaners to remove debris from the groove and surface of the casting, thus increasing workload and working time.

[0006] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a grooving device for precision castings is designed, including a device base box, a control host is installed at the front end of the device base box, the top of the device base box has an open structure, support rods are installed at the four corners of the top of the device base box, a device top plate is fixed to the top of the support rods, a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate are provided at the bottom of the device top plate, and a moving component is provided between the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate, a telescopic cylinder is installed at the bottom inside the device base box, a CNC drive box is installed on the top of the telescopic cylinder, and a milling cutter body is connected to the top of the CNC drive box.

[0007] Preferably, the moving component includes a threaded rod, a moving block, a limiting rod, a bearing, a clamping cylinder, and a clamping arm.

[0008] Preferably, the threaded rod is located between the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate. One end of the threaded rod passes through the first fixed plate and is connected to a motor. The motor is mounted on the surface of the first fixed plate. The other end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to a bearing, which is mounted on the surface of the second fixed plate.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting rod extends through the top of the movable block, and a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate are fixed at both ends of the limiting rod, respectively. A clamping cylinder is installed at the bottom of the movable block, and clamping arms are connected to both sides of the bottom of the clamping cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the device has limit holes at both the front and rear ends of the bottom box, and discharge ports at the bottom of both sides.

[0011] Preferably, a scraper passes through the limiting hole, and an arc-shaped locking block is fixed between the front and rear scrapers. A telescopic cylinder is engaged with the inner wall of the arc-shaped locking block, and a handle is fixed to one end of the scraper that extends out of the limiting hole.

[0012] Preferably, air pumps are installed on both sides of the telescopic cylinder, and one end of the air pump is connected to an air pipe. The air pipe passes through the outer shell of the telescopic cylinder and is connected to an external nozzle.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model combines a moving component, a telescopic cylinder, and a milling cutter body to clamp a precision casting at the top of the device, while the milling cutter body is positioned at the bottom. During the grooving process, the milling cutter body moves upward, cutting and grooving the precision casting from the bottom. This bottom-up grooving design utilizes gravity, causing metal shavings generated during grooving to fall directly into a collection box or bottom box at the bottom of the device. This effectively prevents shavings from accumulating in the grooving tank or splashing onto the casting surface, eliminating the need for subsequent shaving cleaning. This method eliminates the cumbersome steps involved in traditional grooving processes, improving efficiency and convenience. It solves the problem that traditional grooving devices typically involve clamping the casting onto the bottom plane of the device using a jig, followed by a milling cutter above the device grooving the casting surface. In this method, a large amount of metal debris is generated during the milling cutter's contact and cutting process. Due to the cutting force, these debris not only accumulate in the newly created grooves, forming difficult-to-remove residues, but also splash onto other surface areas of the casting due to the spatter during the cutting process.

[0015] 2. This utility model combines a scraper, an arc-shaped locking block, and a handle. When debris falls into the bottom box of the device during the grooving process, the operator holds the handle, which moves the arc-shaped locking block and the connected scraper. The scraper can directly contact the bottom of the device's base plate and scrape up the debris accumulated at the bottom. Subsequently, the debris is scraped out of the device through the side discharge port. The operator only needs to collect it at the discharge port to quickly and conveniently dispose of all the debris, achieving efficient collection and processing of debris.

[0016] 3. This utility model combines a telescopic cylinder, an air pump, and an air pipe. By activating multiple air pumps, the air pumps spray air upwards through the air pipes. This airflow acts on the surface of the precision casting, and by utilizing the force of the jet, it can effectively blow away the strongly adhered debris on the surface of the casting, further enhancing the debris removal effect. This ensures that the debris generated during the grooving process can be removed more thoroughly, improving processing quality and efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0022] Example 1: A grooving device for precision castings, see [link to example]. Figures 1 to 3The device includes a base box 1, with a control host 103 installed at the front end. The top of the base box 1 has an open structure, and support rods 101 are installed at each of the four corners of the top. A device top plate 102 is fixed to the top of the support rods 101. A first fixing plate 2 and a second fixing plate 215 are provided at the bottom of the device top plate 102, and a moving component is provided between the first fixing plate 2 and the second fixing plate 215. A telescopic cylinder 202 is installed at the bottom inside the base box 1, and a CNC drive box 216 is installed on the top of the telescopic cylinder 202. A milling cutter body 203 is connected to the top of the CNC drive box 216. First, the clamping cylinder 212 in the device is activated, and the clamping cylinder 212 moves through its internal... Pneumatic pressure drives multiple clamping arms 213 to move. During this movement, the clamping arms 213 gradually approach the precision casting and eventually clamp it securely. After the precision casting is clamped, the telescopic cylinder 202 in the device is activated. The telescopic cylinder 202 moves upwards, lifting the CNC drive box 216 and the connected milling cutter body 203. The CNC drive box 216 controls the precise movement and grooving path of the milling cutter body 203, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the grooving process. Driven by the telescopic cylinder 202, the milling cutter body 203 gradually approaches the bottom of the precision casting and begins grooving. This bottom-up grooving setup utilizes gravity during the grooving process. The generated metal shavings, due to gravity, fall directly into the collection box or bottom box at the bottom of the device, effectively preventing shavings from accumulating in the tank or splashing onto the surface of the casting. This greatly reduces the tedious steps of subsequent shavings cleaning. When it is necessary to adjust the slot position of the precision casting, the motor 201 in the device is started. The motor 201, through its rotation, drives the threaded rod 209 to rotate. Since there is a threaded connection between the threaded rod 209 and the moving block 210, the rotation of the threaded rod 209 will drive the moving block 210 to move. During the movement of the moving block 210, it will drive the clamping cylinder 212 and the clamping arm 213 to move together, thereby achieving the desired adjustment. The adjustment of the grooving position of precision castings can be achieved by adjusting the rotation direction and speed of motor 201, which controls the movement direction and distance of moving block 210, thereby meeting the needs of different grooving positions. This solves the technical problem of traditional grooving devices, which typically involve clamping the casting on the bottom plane of the device with a jig and then using a milling cutter above the device to groove the surface of the casting. In this grooving method, a large amount of metal chips are generated during the contact and cutting process between the milling cutter and the surface of the casting. Due to the cutting force, these chips not only accumulate in the newly grooved slot of the casting, forming residues that are difficult to remove, but also splash onto other surface areas of the casting due to the splashing during the cutting process.

[0023] It should be noted that the CNC drive box 216 mentioned in this application is actually the same component as the CNC drive box in the prior art document 202421316044.0 (a grooving device for processing aluminum alloy die castings). Since the structure and function of the CNC drive box have been disclosed in the prior art document, there is no need to repeat or describe the CNC drive box 216 in detail in this application.

[0024] For details, see Figure 2 The moving assembly includes a threaded rod 209, a moving block 210, a limiting rod 211, a bearing 214, a clamping cylinder 212, and a clamping arm 213.

[0025] Further, see Figure 2 The threaded rod 209 is located between the first fixed plate 2 and the second fixed plate 215. One end of the threaded rod 209 passes through the first fixed plate 2 and is connected to a motor 201. The motor 201 is mounted on the surface of the first fixed plate 2. The other end of the threaded rod 209 is rotatably connected to a bearing 214. The bearing 214 is mounted on the surface of the second fixed plate 215.

[0026] It is worth noting that, see Figure 2 The top of the movable block 210 has a limit rod 211 running through it. The first fixing plate 2 and the second fixing plate 215 are fixed at both ends of the limit rod 211 respectively. A clamping cylinder 212 is installed at the bottom of the movable block 210. Clamping arms 213 are connected to both sides of the bottom of the clamping cylinder 212.

[0027] It is worth noting that, see Figure 1 Limiting holes 208 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the device bottom box 1, and discharge ports 204 are provided at the bottom of both sides.

[0028] It is worth mentioning that, see Figure 1A scraper 206 penetrates the limiting hole 208, and an arc-shaped locking block 205 is fixed between the front and rear scrapers 206. A telescopic cylinder 202 engages with the inner wall of the arc-shaped locking block 205. A handle 207 is fixed to one end of the scraper 206 extending out of the limiting hole 208. When grooving is performed, the milling cutter contacts and cuts the precision casting, generating a large amount of metal chips. These chips fall naturally into the bottom box 1 of the device under gravity. The operator stands beside the device, holds the handle 207, and moves the arc-shaped locking block 205 and its connected scraper 206 by pushing and pulling the handle 207. 6. It can fit the bottom of the device base plate to ensure no gap between it and the bottom surface. When the scraper 206 moves, its edge will scrape across the bottom of the base plate, effectively scraping away the accumulated debris. The scraped debris will gradually gather at the discharge port 204 on the side of the device as the scraper 206 moves. The operator only needs to place a collection container, such as a trash can or debris collection bag, at the discharge port 204. When the debris is discharged from the discharge port 204, it will fall directly into the collection container. The operator can check the collection container regularly and replace or empty it in time when the container is full to ensure that the debris does not overflow or cause other inconvenience.

[0029] It is worth emphasizing that, see Figure 3 Air pumps 3 are installed on both sides of the telescopic cylinder 202. One end of the air pump 3 is connected to an air pipe 301. The air pipe 301 passes through the outer shell of the telescopic cylinder 202 and is connected to an external nozzle. When it is necessary to improve the effect of handling debris, the operator starts multiple air pumps 3. After the air pump 3 starts, it compresses and stores the air to prepare for subsequent airflow injection. When the air pump 3 reaches a certain working pressure, the high-pressure airflow is delivered to the nozzle through the air pipe 301. Since the air pipe 301 passes through the outer shell of the telescopic cylinder 202, it avoids interference or influence on the internal components of the telescopic cylinder 202. The high-pressure airflow is ejected from the nozzle, forming an airflow jet that acts directly on the surface of the precision casting. The airflow jet can blow away the debris from the surface of the casting. The airflow jet can also form an airflow film on the surface of the casting, effectively preventing new debris from adhering to the casting.

[0030] When using a grooving device for precision castings, firstly, the clamping cylinder 212 in the device is activated. Through the internal air pressure, the clamping cylinder 212 drives multiple clamping arms 213 to move. During this movement, the clamping arms 213 gradually approach the precision casting and eventually clamp it securely. After the precision casting is clamped, the telescopic cylinder 202 in the device is activated. The telescopic cylinder 202 moves upwards along the CNC drive box 216 and the connected milling cutter body 203. The CNC drive box 216 controls the precise movement and grooving path of the milling cutter body 203, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the grooving process. Driven by the telescopic cylinder 202, the milling cutter body 203 gradually approaches the bottom of the precision casting and begins grooving cutting. The bottom-up grooving design utilizes gravity. Metal debris generated during grooving falls directly into the collection box or bottom box at the bottom of the device due to gravity, effectively preventing debris accumulation in the grooving tank or splashing onto the casting surface. This significantly reduces the tedious steps of subsequent debris cleaning. When the grooving position of the precision casting needs adjustment, the motor 201 in the device is activated. The motor 201, through its rotation, drives the threaded rod 209 to rotate. Because there is a threaded connection between the threaded rod 209 and the moving block 210, the rotation of the threaded rod 209 drives the moving block 210 to move. During the movement of the moving block 210, it drives the clamping cylinder 212 and the clamping arm 213 to move together, thereby... The grooving position of the precision casting can be adjusted by changing the rotation direction and speed of the motor 201, thereby controlling the movement direction and distance of the moving block 210 to meet the needs of different grooving positions. When grooving is in progress, the milling cutter contacts and cuts the precision casting, generating a large amount of metal chips. These chips fall naturally into the bottom box 1 of the device under the influence of gravity. The operator stands next to the device, holds the handle 207, and moves the arc-shaped locking block 205 and its connected scraper 206 by pushing and pulling the handle 207. The scraper 206 can fit against the bottom of the device base plate, ensuring no gap between it and the bottom surface. When the scraper 206 moves, its edge scrapes across the bottom of the base plate, effectively scraping away the accumulated chips from the bottom surface. As the scraper 206 moves, the debris gradually gathers at the discharge port 204 on the side of the device. The operator simply needs to place a collection container, such as a trash can or debris collection bag, at the discharge port 204. When debris is discharged from the discharge port 204, it falls directly into the collection container. The operator can periodically check the collection container and replace or empty it when it is full to ensure that debris does not overflow or cause other inconvenience. When it is necessary to improve the efficiency of debris handling, the operator starts multiple air pumps 3. After the air pumps 3 start, they compress and store air to prepare for subsequent airflow injection. When the air pumps 3 reach a certain working pressure, the high-pressure airflow is delivered to the nozzle through the air pipe 301. Since the air pipe 301 passes through the outer shell of the telescopic cylinder 202...To avoid interference or influence of the air pipe 301 on the internal components of the telescopic cylinder 202, high-pressure airflow is ejected from the nozzle, forming an airflow beam that directly acts on the surface of the precision casting. This airflow beam blows away debris from the casting surface and also forms an airflow film on the casting surface, effectively preventing new debris from adhering to the casting.
