[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a differential housing oil hole machining and positioning mechanism, the mechanism comprising: a base 1, a positioning column 2, a positioning plate 5, and a limiting rod 8;
[0032] The upper part of the base 1 protrudes upward to form a frustum, and a positioning post 2 is vertically and detachably fixed on the frustum, which can vertically penetrate the inside of the differential housing and is adapted to it. The upper end of the positioning post 2 is horizontally and detachably fixed with a positioning plate 5 that can abut against the differential housing to position the differential housing in the longitudinal direction. The interior of the base 1 is provided with several limiting rods 8 that are equally spaced along the circumference of the differential housing and vertically liftable, which can penetrate multiple through holes on the bottom of the differential housing to position the differential housing in the horizontal direction.
[0033] In the above scheme, such as Figure 3As shown, the differential housing to be processed is placed vertically on the base 1, with multiple through holes on the bottom of the differential housing corresponding to the tops of several limiting rods 8 on the base 1. The positioning pin 3 is vertically inserted into the interior of the differential housing, and the diameter of the positioning pin 3 is the same as the inner diameter of the shaft hole on the differential housing, so that the positioning pin 3 can pass through the shaft hole on the differential housing, and the outer wall of the positioning pin 3 can fit against the inner wall of the shaft hole on the differential housing to limit the differential housing and position it. Then, the positioning plate 5 is assembled on the positioning pin 3 so that the positioning plate 5 abuts against the differential housing, clamping the differential housing between the base 1 and the positioning plate 5, thereby positioning it in the longitudinal direction. In addition, several limiting rods 8 on the base 1 are inserted from the inside of the base 1 into the corresponding through holes on the bottom of the differential housing to position the differential housing in the horizontal direction, preventing the differential housing from rotating along its circumference during the machining process, which would reduce the stability and reliability of the positioning mechanism.
[0034] In summary, the positioning mechanism provided by this utility model can perform multi-directional positioning of the differential housing, which improves the stability and reliability of the positioning mechanism, avoids the differential housing from rotating during the processing and affecting the processing effect, and is easy to operate and has low maintenance costs.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base 1 has an assembly cavity inside, and a fixing plate 7 is horizontally and vertically arranged inside the assembly cavity. A plurality of limiting rods 8 are vertically fixedly arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the fixing plate 7. A plurality of springs 9 are uniformly and vertically fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the fixing plate 7, and the bottom end of each spring 9 is fixedly arranged on the assembly cavity. An operating rod 10 that can vertically pass through the assembly cavity and extend to the top of the base 1 is also vertically fixedly arranged on the fixing plate 7.
[0036] In the above scheme, when in use, pressing down on the operating lever 10 causes the fixing plate 7 to descend vertically within the assembly cavity, so that several limiting rods 8 fixed on the fixing plate 7 descend together and leave from multiple through holes at the bottom of the differential housing, thereby releasing the positioning of the differential housing in the horizontal direction, so that the subsequently processed differential housing can be removed from the base 1.
[0037] Additionally, when positioning the differential housing is required, pressing down on the operating lever 10 causes the fixing plate 7 to lower and lower multiple limiting rods 8 fixed thereon into the assembly cavity. Simultaneously, multiple springs 9 are compressed, aligning several limiting rods 8 with multiple through holes on the bottom of the differential housing, which is vertically placed on the base 1. Then, the operating lever 10 is released, and under the action of the compressed springs 9, the fixing plate 7 vertically raises several limiting rods 8 fixed thereon so that the limiting rods pass through their respective through holes on the bottom of the differential housing, thereby positioning the differential housing in the horizontal direction.
[0038] In the above scheme, the diameter of each limiting rod 8 is adapted to the inner diameter of the through hole at the bottom of the differential housing, so that the differential housing is positioned by the cooperation between the limiting rod 8 and the through hole at the bottom of the differential housing.
[0039] In addition, there is at least one limiting rod 8 on the base 1, or there may be multiple rods, and the number of limiting rods 8 is less than the number of through holes on the bottom of the differential housing.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base 1 is provided with a vertical clearance hole that communicates with the assembly cavity and allows the operating rod 10 to pass through.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a lower stud 3 is coaxially fixed at the bottom of the positioning post 2, and the upper part of the base 1 is recessed inward to form a threaded blind hole that is threadedly connected to the lower stud 3. The lower stud 3 is vertical and threadedly fixed in the threaded blind hole of the base 1.
[0042] In the above scheme, the positioning post 2 is vertically fixed on the base 1 by the cooperation of the lower stud 3 and the threaded blind hole on the base 1, which facilitates disassembly and replacement.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the positioning plate 5 has a limiting through hole in the middle for the upper stud 4 to pass through, and the positioning plate 5 is horizontally inserted through the limiting through hole onto the upper stud 4 and abuts against the differential housing. The top of the upper stud 4 is threadedly fixed with a nut 6 that can abut against the positioning plate 5 to lock it.
[0044] In the above scheme, during use, the positioning plate 5 is horizontally inserted onto the upper stud 4, and the positioning plate 5 is abutted against the differential housing. The nut 6 is screwed onto the upper stud 4 until the nut 6 abuts against the positioning plate 5 to lock the positioning plate 5, thereby positioning the differential housing in the longitudinal direction through the positioning plate 5.
[0045] In addition, the nut 6 and the upper stud 4 are used together to lock the positioning plate 5, which is convenient for operation and also facilitates later replacement and maintenance.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base 1 has a plurality of mounting holes that are vertically and equally spaced along the circumference of the frustum portion.
[0047] In the above solution, the base 1 can be fixed on the processing base disclosed in the Chinese patent (application number: CN202222000765.8) cited in the background art by means of mounting holes and fasteners, and the fasteners can be bolts and screws, etc.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that:
[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the operating rod 10 is a screw, and the base 1 has a threaded hole that is vertically through and communicates with the assembly cavity and is threadedly connected to the operating rod 10. The bottom end of the operating rod 10 is rotatably mounted on the fixing plate 7.
[0051] In the above scheme, since the operating lever 10 is rotatably mounted on the fixed plate 7, the fixed plate 7 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction when the operating lever 10 is rotated.
[0052] As the operating lever 10 rotates, the fixed plate 7 rises, thereby causing several limiting rods 10 on the fixed plate 7 to extend from the inside of the base 1 and enter their respective through holes on the bottom of the differential housing to position the differential housing in the horizontal direction, preventing the differential housing from rotating along its circumference during processing and affecting the processing effect.
[0053] Everything else is the same as in Example 1.
[0054] In summary, the differential housing oil hole machining positioning mechanism provided by this utility model overcomes the problem in the prior art where the differential housing is only supported on the machining seat by the cooperation of the positioning shaft and fastening bolts, and the circumferential direction of the differential housing is not positioned. During machining, the differential housing will rotate along its circumferential direction, which reduces the stability and reliability of the positioning mechanism and thus affects the cutting effect.
[0055] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0056] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.
[0057] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
