Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this utility model more easily understood, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0026] refer to Figures 2 to 7

[0027] A positioning fixture structure for machining the end face of a cast pipe includes a base 1. A casting placement and positioning platform 2 is provided on the platform of the base. A positioning mechanism 3 is provided at the rear of the platform of the base, which is used to cooperate with the pipe opening 51 on the side wall of the casting 5 and can swing up and down at a certain angle and extend and retract back and forth. Clamping mechanisms 4 are provided on both sides of the base to press down the side of the casting. The positioning mechanism can swing up at a certain angle and extend and retract back and forth, thereby cooperating with the pipe opening on the side wall of the casting. Together with the casting placement and positioning platform and the clamping mechanism, the casting is positioned and clamped for subsequent machining.

[0028] In this embodiment, the casting placement and positioning platform is columnar. The upper end surface of the casting placement and positioning platform is provided with a first annular step surface 21 that is recessed downward to cooperate with the first boss surface 52 of the bottom surface of the casting. A second annular step surface 22 that is recessed downward to cooperate with the second boss surface 53 of the bottom surface of the casting is provided on the inner side of the first annular step surface, thereby completing the bottom surface positioning of the casting.

[0029] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the weight of the casting placement platform, a vertical shaft hole 23 is provided in the middle of the casting placement positioning platform.

[0030] In this embodiment, to locate the pipe opening on the side wall of the casting, the positioning mechanism includes a fixed base 31. A slot 311 is longitudinally provided on the fixed base. A swing block 32, extending out of the slot and capable of swinging, is rotatably connected to the slot via a transverse rotating shaft 312. A positioning post 33, capable of elastically extending and retracting back and forth, is provided within the swing block to engage with the pipe opening on the side wall of the casting. The extension and retraction of the positioning post and the upward swing of the swing block facilitate the installation and subsequent removal of the casting, while the positioning post restricts the circumferential rotation of the casting.

[0031] In this embodiment, in order to better form the slot, the fixing base includes a fixing block 313 whose lower part is fixedly connected to the base platform. The upper part of the fixing block is provided with a slot in the longitudinal direction. The upper end of the fixing block is fixed with a cover plate 314 that covers the upper side of the slot and cooperates with the slot to form the slot.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to install the positioning post, the swing block is provided with a longitudinally arranged mounting cavity 321. The positioning post slides with the mounting cavity. A spring 322 is installed between the rear end of the positioning post and the mounting cavity. An anti-detachment structure is provided between the positioning post and the mounting cavity to prevent the positioning post from detaching from the swing block.

[0033] In this embodiment, in order to better process and form an installation cavity on the swing block, a channel 323 is longitudinally provided on the swing block, and a sealing plate 324 is fixed in the channel to form an installation cavity at the front of the channel.

[0034] In this embodiment, the anti-detachment structure includes guide limiting grooves 325 disposed on both sides of the mounting cavity and whose front ends do not protrude from the swing block, and both sides of the positioning column are provided with protrusions 331 that cooperate with the guide limiting grooves.

[0035] In this embodiment, to better enable the swing block to swing upward at a certain angle, there is a gap 34 between the upper end face of the swing block and the top surface of the slot, and between the lower end face of the swing block and the bottom surface of the slot. The upward swing angle of the swing block is within 10°.

[0036] In this embodiment, in order to better match the pipe opening of the casting, the front end of the positioning post is provided with a chamfer 332 and has a protruding post 333 for extending into the pipe opening of the casting. The protruding post extends into the pipe opening post and fits with the chamfer of the pipe opening through the chamfer.

[0037] In this embodiment, to clamp the casting after positioning, the clamping mechanism includes a vertical hydraulic cylinder 41 and a pressure block 42 whose inner end is used to press against the lower side of the casting. The upper end of the telescopic rod of the vertical hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the lower part of the outer end of the pressure block, and a connecting rod 43 is hinged to the middle of the pressure block. The lower end of the connecting rod is hinged to a fixing block installed on the inner side of the upper end of the housing of the vertical hydraulic cylinder. Thus, when the telescopic rod of the vertical hydraulic cylinder extends upward, it drives the connecting rod, causing the inner end of the connecting rod to press against the lower side of the casting.

[0038] In this embodiment, in order to better press down the lower side of the casting, the lower side of the inner end of the pressure block is provided with a notch 421 for pressing down on the lower side of the casting, and a recess 422 is provided near the outer end of the notch.

[0039] In this embodiment, in order to reduce damage to the casting, the bottom surface of the pressure block can be fixed with a brass block 423, and the notch and recess are provided on the brass block.

[0040] In this embodiment, recesses 11 are provided on both sides of the base, and the clamping mechanism is installed in the recesses.

[0041] In use, align the pipe opening of the casting with the protrusion of the positioning pin, and push it backward a certain distance. Utilizing the characteristic that the swing block can swing up and down at a certain angle, it facilitates the bottom of the casting to mate with the first and second annular stepped surfaces of the casting placement positioning platform. Simultaneously, after the bottom surface of the casting is installed on the casting placement positioning platform, the elastic force of the positioning pin pushing forward holds the pipe opening in place, completing the positioning of the casting. Finally, the clamping mechanism clamps the lower side of the casting to facilitate the machining of the upper surface of the casting. After machining is completed, the clamping mechanism is released, and the casting can be removed upwards.

[0042] If the terms "first" and "second" are used in the above description to define the components, those skilled in the art should know that the use of "first" and "second" is only for the convenience of distinguishing the components in the description. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning.

[0043] If this utility model discloses or relates to mutually fixedly connected parts or structural components, then unless otherwise stated, a fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (e.g., using bolts or screws) or a non-detachable fixed connection (e.g., riveting or welding). Of course, mutually fixed connections can also be replaced by an integral structure (e.g., manufactured using a casting process) (except where it is obviously impossible to use an integral forming process).

[0044] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used to indicate positional relationships or shapes in any of the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model above include states or shapes that are similar to, close to, or approximate with them.

[0045] Any component provided by this utility model can be assembled from multiple individual components, or it can be a single component manufactured by a one-piece molding process.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
