Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to machine adds the fixture field, concretely relates to a differential mechanism housing planetary hole processing fixture. BACKGROUND

[0002] The automobile differential mechanism can make left, right (or front, rear) drive wheel realize the mechanism of rotating at different rotating speeds. It is mainly composed of left and right half axle gear, two planetary gears and gear frame. The function is when the automobile turns to drive or drives on uneven road, makes left and right wheels roll at different rotating speeds, that is, guarantees both sides drive wheel to make pure rolling motion. The differential mechanism is arranged for adjusting the rotating speed difference of left and right wheels. When four-wheel driving, in order to drive four wheels, must connect all wheels, if four wheels are mechanically connected together, when the automobile drives on curve, cannot rotate at the same speed, in order to let the automobile curve drive rotating speed be basically consistent, when needing to add intermediate differential to adjust the rotating speed difference of front and rear wheels.

[0003] The differential mechanism housing needs to use the fixture to be fixed when processing the planetary hole, so as to avoid the position from deviating in the drilling process, the existing fixture is inconvenient to clamp, and two clamping is needed when processing two planetary holes, which seriously affects the machining efficiency. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a differential mechanism housing planetary hole processing fixture, which is simple in structure and convenient to operate, and is beneficial to improving the machining efficiency.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] A differential mechanism housing planetary hole processing fixture, characterized by: including turnover table, fixture support, support seat, positioning shaft, expansion sleeve, pull rod, wherein the fixture support is arranged on the turnover table, the fixture support has a vertical mounting plate, the positioning shaft is arranged in the middle of the vertical mounting plate, the support seat is arranged on the fixture support and coaxially arranged with the positioning shaft, the front end of the positioning shaft is a tapered portion, the expansion sleeve is sleeved on the tapered portion, the pull rod is movably arranged in the shaft hole of the positioning shaft, the upper end of the pull rod has a disc head portion limiting the expansion sleeve, the support seat has an annular support surface, and the annular support surface is provided with a diamond pin.

[0007] Further, the upper part of the expansion sleeve has a flange, the upper end of the pull rod has a ring groove, and the flange of the expansion sleeve is limited in the ring groove.

[0008] Further, the expansion sleeve is composed of multiple parts, the outer side of the expansion sleeve is provided with spring hoops, and the outer side of the expansion sleeve is provided with a limiting groove limiting the spring hoops.

[0009] Furthermore, a cylinder is provided on the clamp bracket, and the piston rod of the cylinder is connected to the rear end of the pull rod.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model include: the fixture has a simple structure, is easy to clamp, can automatically flip, and can process two planetary holes at once, which significantly improves machining efficiency. Attached Figure Description
