Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve body processing technology, and in particular to a positioning fixture for valve body processing. Background Technology
[0002] In the valve body machining process, in addition to precise positioning, many other challenges are faced. For example, when drilling and tapping the valve body, due to its complex structure and potentially uneven surface, existing machining equipment often struggles to hold the valve body stably, causing it to wobble during machining. This affects machining accuracy and surface quality. Furthermore, the debris generated during machining is difficult to collect and clean. If it accumulates on the valve body surface or in the machining area, it may damage the machining tools, further impacting machining results and equipment lifespan. Therefore, a positioning fixture for valve body machining is provided. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a positioning fixture for valve body processing. It utilizes an electric push rod to retract, causing a lifting plate to descend and simultaneously pulling down four connecting rods. This causes the four grippers to rotate synchronously towards the center of the support plate, thereby clamping the valve body using the upper ends of the four grippers. This achieves rapid and stable fixation of the valve body, preventing it from shaking during processing. By opening a solenoid valve, high-pressure gas is blown from the air nozzle onto the valve body, effectively cleaning any residual debris. The debris generated during valve body processing is then collected and swept into an annular collection groove, and finally discharged through the drain port. This convenient and quick solution overcomes the deficiencies of existing technologies.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A positioning fixture for valve body processing includes a U-shaped frame. A support plate is fixed to the upper end of the vertical sections on both sides of the U-shaped frame. An electric push rod is fixed to the upper end of the horizontal section of the U-shaped frame of the support plate. The upper end of the electric push rod extends above the support plate and is connected to a lifting plate. Four mounting slots are equidistantly provided on the side of the lifting plate. Four connecting blocks are equidistantly fixed to the upper surface of the support plate. Each of the four connecting blocks is rotatably connected to a gripper via a connecting pin. One side of each of the four grippers is rotatably connected to a connecting rod. One end of each of the four connecting rods is rotatably connected to the lifting plate at one of the four mounting slots via a connecting pin. An annular collection groove is fixed to the side of the support plate, and a drain outlet is provided in the annular collection groove. A support platform is fixed to the support plate.
[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the support platform includes a support rod fixed to the upper surface of the support plate, and a support plate is fixed to the upper end of the support rod.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: four support rods are provided, and the four support rods are evenly distributed on the lower end face of the support plate.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lifting plate is slidably sleeved on the four support rods.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an L-shaped support rod is fixed to the upper side of the tray, a screw is screwed to one end of the horizontal section of the L-shaped support rod, a fixing block is rotatably connected to the lower end of the screw through a bearing, and a handle is provided at the upper end of the screw.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an air nozzle is movably installed below the horizontal section of the L-shaped support rod, one end of the air nozzle is connected to a solenoid valve, one end of the solenoid valve is connected to an air pipe, and one end of the air pipe is connected to an external air compressor.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the lower end of the horizontal section of the L-shaped support rod is fixed with a universal ball joint, and the air nozzle is fixed on one side of the universal ball joint.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: a limiting hole is provided on the vertical section of the L-shaped support rod, and the air tube passes through the limiting hole.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] The electric push rod retracts, causing the lifting plate to descend. Simultaneously, it pulls down four connecting rods, causing the four grippers to rotate synchronously towards the center of the support plate. This grips the valve body with the upper ends of the four grippers, achieving fast and stable fixation of the valve body and preventing it from shaking during processing. By opening the solenoid valve, high-pressure gas is blown from the air nozzle onto the valve body to blow away residual debris, effectively cleaning the valve body. The debris generated during valve body processing is collected and swept into the annular collection groove, and finally discharged from the drain port. This process is convenient and quick.

[0021] Example 1, referring to Figure 1-4 A positioning fixture for valve body processing includes a U-shaped frame 1, which can be fixed to the work station by bolts. The upper ends of the vertical sections on both sides of the U-shaped frame 1 are fixed with a support plate 4. The upper ends of the horizontal sections of the U-shaped frame 1 of the support plate 4 are fixed with an electric push rod 12. The upper end of the electric push rod 12 extends above the support plate 4 and is connected to a lifting plate 11. Four mounting slots 13 are equally spaced on the side of the lifting plate 11. Four connecting blocks 19 are equally spaced on the upper surface of the support plate 4. Each of the four connecting blocks 19 is rotatably connected with a gripper 10 by a connecting pin. Each of the four grippers 10 is rotatably connected with a connecting rod 20 on one side. One end of each of the four connecting rods 20 is rotatably connected to the lifting plate 11 at the four mounting slots 13 by a connecting pin. An annular collection trough 2 is fixed on the side of the support plate 4. A drain outlet 3 is opened on the annular collection trough 2. A support platform is fixed on the support plate 4.
[0022] The support platform includes a support rod 15 fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 4, and a support plate 14 is fixed to the upper end of the support rod 15.
[0023] There are four support rods 15, and the four support rods 15 are evenly distributed on the lower end face of the support plate 14. The lifting plate 11 is slidably sleeved on the four support rods 15.
[0024] An L-shaped support rod 6 is fixed to the upper side of the support plate 4. A screw rod 7 is screwed to one end of the horizontal section of the L-shaped support rod 6. A fixing block 9 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the screw rod 7 through a bearing. A handle 8 is provided at the upper end of the screw rod 7.
[0025] The valve body is placed on the support plate 14. The electric push rod 12 retracts to drive the lifting plate 11 to descend, and then simultaneously pulls down the four connecting rods 20, causing the four grippers 10 to rotate synchronously towards the center of the support plate 4. The upper ends of the four grippers 10 are used to clamp the valve body, achieving fast and stable fixation of the valve body and preventing it from shaking during processing. By rotating the screw 7 with the handle 8, the fixing block 9 can press the valve body down, further ensuring the fixation effect of the valve body. The debris generated during the processing of the valve body is collected and swept into the annular collection groove 2, and finally discharged from the drain port 3. It is convenient and quick.

[0028] The angle of the air nozzle 17 can be adjusted by the universal ball head 16 so that the air nozzle 17 is aligned with the valve body. By opening the solenoid valve 22, high-pressure gas is blown from the air nozzle 17 to the valve body to blow away residual debris on the valve body and achieve effective cleaning of the valve body.
