Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner scroll compressor processing technology, specifically a clamping fixture for scroll machining of gray iron parts. Background Technology

[0002] In current scroll compressor parts machining, especially for gray iron scroll machining, traditional processes typically employ multiple steps for clamping and machining. For example, turning is performed first, followed by hole machining and profile machining. This traditional clamping method not only increases the number of changes during machining, requiring repeated adjustments and calibrations of the workpiece position between each step, thus prolonging the overall machining time, but also increases the possibility of accumulated errors due to multiple clamping operations, affecting the dimensional accuracy of the final product. Therefore, existing clamping methods can no longer meet the requirements of modern manufacturing for high efficiency, low cost, and high quality, and a more reasonable clamping fixture is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.

[0022] To address the issues in existing technologies where repeated adjustments and calibrations of the workpiece position are required between each process, thus extending the overall processing time and increasing the likelihood of accumulated errors due to multiple clamping operations, thereby affecting the dimensional accuracy of the final product, the following technical solution is proposed:

[0023] A clamping fixture for vortex machining of gray iron parts includes a first clamping fixture 1 and a second clamping fixture 2. The first clamping fixture 1 is used to clamp the front side of the workpiece 3 in the process, and the second clamping fixture 2 is used to clamp the back side of the workpiece 3 in the process.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-3 The first clamping fixture 1 includes a first vertical chuck 11, a first jaw 12, a first mounting plate 13, and a first backrest 14. The first mounting plate 13 is bolted to the upper surface of the first vertical chuck 11. The side of the first mounting plate 13 has a first groove 131 for the first jaw 12 to pass through. The first mounting plate 13 serves as the base for mounting other components. The first backrest 14 is bolted to the first mounting plate 13. The first backrest 14 is used to support the outer edge of the workpiece 3 in the process.

[0025] The first vertical clamping plate 11 has three slots 111 arranged in a rotationally symmetrical manner. The lower part of the slots 111 is inclined towards the axis of the first vertical clamping plate 11. The slots 111 are adapted to the clamping rod 121. The first jaw 12 is engaged with the first vertical clamping plate 11 through the clamping rod 121. The deeper the clamping rod 121 penetrates into the slots 111, the closer the first jaw 12 is to the axis of the workpiece 3. The position and clamping force of the first jaw 12 can be adjusted according to the diameter of the workpiece 3.

[0026] Two third grippers 15 are mounted on the top surface of the first mounting plate 13, one on each side of one of the first grippers 12. A movable locking block 151 is pivotally connected to the top of each third gripper 15. After the workpiece 3 is gripped by the first gripper 12, the rotation angle of the movable locking block 151 is adjusted to make it abut against the side surface of the workpiece 3 for further fixation. The angle between the movable locking block 151 and the third gripper 15 can be fixed by tightening bolts. After the workpiece 3 is fixed, the machining center performs milling of the plane, keyway, involute curve, and drilling.

[0027] Please see Figure 4-6 The second clamping fixture 2 includes a second vertical clamping plate 21, a second jaw 22, a second mounting plate 23, and a second backrest 24. The second mounting plate 23 is bolted to the upper surface of the second vertical clamping plate 21. A second groove 231 is provided on the side of the second mounting plate 23 for the second jaw 22 to pass through.

[0028] A second support 24 is bolted onto the second mounting plate 23, and the second support 24 supports the back of the workpiece 3 in the process.

[0029] The surface of the second vertical clamping plate 21 is provided with sliders 211. There are three sliders 211 in total, which are distributed in a rotationally symmetrical manner. Slide grooves 212 are provided on the sliders 211. The bottom of the second gripper 22 is provided with a snap-fit ​​block. The second gripper 22 is snapped into the slide groove 212 through the snap-fit ​​block and slidably connected to the slider 211. The relative position of the second gripper 22 is adjusted according to the diameter of the workpiece 3 in the process. A screw hole is provided in the middle of the second gripper 22 longitudinally. After the position is adjusted, the second gripper 22 is abutted against the slider 211 by tightening the bolt downwards, thereby fixing the second gripper 22.

[0030] One of the second backing plates 24 has a positioning pin 25 on one side. The positioning pin 25 is fixed to the second mounting plate 23 by bolts. The positioning pin 25 is inserted into the positioning hole corresponding to the workpiece 3 as an angular positioning reference. After the workpiece 3 is fixed, the machining center performs milling, internal hole and drilling on it.

[0031] Working principle: Place the workpiece 3 on the first support 14, press the clamping rod 121 downward into the clamping groove 111, so that the first clamping jaw 12 applies pressure to the workpiece 3 in a downward direction. After fixing, adjust the rotation angle of the movable clamping block 151 so that it abuts against the side surface of the workpiece 3 to further fix it. After the front side of the workpiece 3 is processed, transfer the workpiece 3 and place it on the second support 24. At the same time, let the positioning pin 25 pass into the corresponding positioning hole of the workpiece 3. Adjust the position of the second clamping jaw 22 to clamp the workpiece 3. Finally, process the back side of the workpiece 3.
