Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;

[0014] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0016] One such Figure 1-2 The machining fixture for the left cover assembly shown includes a base plate 1, a first upright plate 2, and a second upright plate 3. Both the first upright plate 2 and the second upright plate 3 are erected on the base plate 1. One side of the base plate 1 has a first clamping station for horizontally clamping the left cover assembly for machining the holes and mating surfaces on the outer end face of the left cover assembly. One side of the first upright plate 2 has a second clamping station for vertically clamping the left cover assembly for vertical machining of one of its oil passages. One side of the second upright plate 3 has a third clamping station for vertically clamping the left cover assembly, keeping its other oil passage vertical for machining.

[0017] The first clamping station includes multiple first positioning seats 4 for supporting the inner edge of the left cover assembly. The top surface of the first positioning seats 4 is flat and at the same horizontal height. Three of the first positioning seats 4, arranged in a triangle, are equipped with first lever clamping cylinders 9. Both the first positioning seats 4 and the first lever clamping cylinders 9 are mounted on the base plate 1 via positioning pads 5, ensuring minimal difference in the starting height of the cutting tool during machining at each clamping station. A set of first cylindrical pins 6 and first diamond pins 7 are arranged diagonally at the first clamping station, both mounted on the base plate 1 via positioning pads 5. This achieves precise positioning of the left cover assembly using two pins on one side. Another set of two first positioning guide pins 8 are arranged diagonally at the first clamping station, mounted on the base plate 1 via positioning pads 5. The protrusion height of the first positioning guide pin 8 is higher than that of the first cylindrical pin 6, and the front end of the first guide positioning pin 8 is tapered, which facilitates the rough positioning of the left box cover assembly during clamping.

[0018] The second clamping station is located on the side of the first upright plate 2 facing away from the first clamping station. This second clamping station is equipped with multiple second positioning seats 10 supporting the edge of the left cover assembly. The supporting end face of each second positioning seat 10 is flat, and the end faces of the multiple second positioning seats 10 are located on the same vertical plane. At least three of the second positioning seats 10 are directly opposite each other, and the second lever clamping cylinders 11 are embedded in the first upright plate 2. Two second positioning guide pins 12 are provided at a set of diagonals of the second clamping station for coarse positioning of the left cover assembly. The structure of the second positioning guide pins 12 is the same as that of the first positioning guide pins 8. A second cylindrical pin 13 and a second diamond-shaped pin 14 are also provided at a set of diagonals of the second clamping station. Similarly, by positioning with two pins on one side, one oil passage of the left cover assembly faces directly upwards.

[0019] Similar to the second clamping station, the third clamping station is equipped with multiple third positioning seats 15 supporting the edge of the left cover assembly. At least three of the third positioning seats 15 are directly opposite each other, and the third lever clamping cylinders 16 are embedded in the second vertical plate 3. Two third positioning guide pins 17 are arranged diagonally in the third clamping station, and third cylindrical pins 18 and third diamond pins 19 are arranged vertically at intervals in the third clamping station, so that the other oil passage of the left cover assembly faces directly upward.

[0020] To facilitate the clamping of the left box cover assembly in the vertical direction, the second and third clamping stations in this embodiment are each provided with two auxiliary positioning rods 20 at their lower parts. During clamping, the lower edge of the left box cover assembly is first supported on the auxiliary positioning rods 20, and then further coarse and precise positioning is performed before finally being pressed.

[0021] In order to reduce the total height after clamping and thus meet the travel requirements of the equipment, the base plate 1 has clearance grooves corresponding to the second and third clamping positions, so that the lower end of the vertically clamped left box cover assembly is located below the top surface of the base plate and does not exceed the bottom surface of the base plate, thereby solving the problem of the influence of the thickness of the fixture base plate on the total height of the product after clamping.

[0022] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the embodiments of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for helping to understand the principles of the embodiments of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the embodiments of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
