Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0016] This application provides a tooling fixture for a turbocharger intermediate housing, which will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own emphasis; parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to in the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0017] To address the technical problem that existing tooling fixtures cannot improve the contour between the two water channel holes and the two assembly holes 11-2 on the water channel end body, one embodiment of this application provides a tooling fixture for a turbocharger intermediate housing. This is described in detail below.

[0018] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, a tooling fixture for a turbocharger intermediate housing includes a base plate 2; a positioning seat 21 with a positioning hole adapted to engage with the shaft of a workpiece; at least one set of vertical clamping mechanisms 3 adapted to vertically clamp the workpiece; and a center block 43 connected to a clamping mechanism 4, which drives the center block 43 to move horizontally and clamp the water channel hole of the workpiece.

[0019] The front end of the tip block 43 has a flat conical structure.

[0020] Specifically, as an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the clamping mechanism 4 includes a slide 41, which is movable back and forth on the base plate 2. The center block 43 is disposed at the front end of the slide 41, and a threaded sleeve 52 is disposed at the rear end of the slide 41. A base 42 is fixedly disposed on the base plate 2. An adjusting screw 51 passes through the base 42 and is connected to the threaded sleeve 52. Rotating the adjusting screw 51 is suitable for driving the slide 41 to move back and forth. A support mechanism 6 is disposed between the slide 41 and the base 42. The support mechanism 6 is suitable for providing support force to the slide 41 in the clamping position.

[0021] In this embodiment, a guide rail assembly is provided between the slide block 41 and the base plate 2, and the guide rail assembly guides the slide block 41 to move back and forth linearly on the base plate 2.

[0022] Specifically, as an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the front end of the threaded sleeve 52 is connected to the slide block 41 via a connecting pin 53, and the threaded sleeve 52 is adapted to swing horizontally on the slide block 41.

[0023] The threaded sleeve 52 can swing horizontally, which facilitates the connection between the threaded sleeve 52 and the adjusting screw 51 at the rear.

[0024] In this embodiment, the adjusting screw 51 includes a knob and a screw. A rod hole is provided on the base 42 for the screw to pass through. The screw has a radial clearance in the rod hole, which is used to accommodate the horizontal swing of the threaded sleeve 52.

[0025] Specifically, as an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support mechanism 6 includes a support cylinder 62, which is mounted on the base 42; a support block 61, which is mounted on the slide 41; and a guide mechanism, which is positioned between the support block 61 and the base plate 2 to guide the support block 61 to move back and forth. The support block 61 moves together with the base 42 to the clamping position, and the support cylinder 62 abuts against the support block 61 to provide a predetermined support force.

[0026] In this embodiment, the support block 61 and the slide 41 are an integral structure, and the support block 61 is located on one side of the slide 41.

[0027] In this embodiment, a cylinder mounting hole is provided on the base 42, and the support cylinder 62 is disposed in the cylinder mounting hole.

[0028] The extension length and supporting force of the support cylinder 62 during operation can be set in advance. The support cylinder 62 provides supporting force to the slide block 41 through the support block 61. When the turbocharger intermediate shell 1 is being processed, the top block 43 has sufficient supporting force to hold the workpiece.

[0029] Specifically, as an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the guiding mechanism includes a guide rod 63, the front end of which passes through the guide block 64, and the rear end of which is fixedly connected to the support block 61; the guide block 64 is fixedly set on the base plate 2.

[0030] The guide mechanism ensures that the support block 61 can move linearly in the front and back directions, thus ensuring that the slide block 41 can move stably back and forth.

[0031] Specifically, as an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the vertical pressing mechanism 3 has a hydraulic cylinder 31, which is fixedly installed on the base plate 2; a support rod 32, the lower end of which is rotatably connected to the hydraulic cylinder 31, and the upper end of which is rotatably connected to the pressing block 33; the pressing block 33, the rear end of which is connected to the push rod of the hydraulic cylinder 31, the middle part of which is connected to the support rod 32, and the front end of which is suitable for pressing the workpiece.

[0032] The process of installing the turbocharger intermediate shell 1 using this utility model tooling fixture is as follows: First, the turbocharger intermediate shell 1 is placed on the positioning seat 21. Then, the sliding seat 41 is moved forward by adjusting the screw 51, so that the top block 43 is inserted into the water channel hole 11-1. The top block 43 defines the horizontal installation reference of the turbocharger intermediate shell 1. The positioning seat 21 limits the installation reference of the turbocharger intermediate shell 1 above the height. Then, the vertical pressing mechanism 3 drives the two pressing blocks 33 to vertically press the turbocharger intermediate shell 1. Finally, the support cylinder 62 works, and the front end of the support block 61 abuts against the support block 61 to support the sliding seat 41. After all the pressing is done, machining can be performed, which can greatly improve the contour between the two assembly holes 11-2 and the two water channel holes 11-1.
