An upper support ring 403 is fixedly installed on the top of lower support ring 402, and bridge shell 5 is fixedly installed on support plate 2.
[0027] It is worth mentioning that the support plate 2 is fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the operating table 1, such as... Figure 1As shown, the lifting mechanism 3 is fixedly installed at the top center of the operating table 1 to fix the half-shaft sleeves at both ends of the axle housing 5. It provides power for the positioning mechanism 4 to move upward. The positioning mechanism 4 is installed between the axle housing 5 and the lifting mechanism 3 to fix the axle housing 5 during processing, making the axle housing 5 more stable and improving the precision of the axle housing 5 during processing. The base 401 is installed on top of the lifting mechanism 3. Under the squeezing action of the lifting mechanism 3, the base 401 drives the positioning mechanism 4 to move upward. The lower support ring 402 is located on top of the base 401, and the lower support ring 402 is connected to the base 401 through multiple support columns. The lower support ring 402 is located at the bottom of the axle housing 5, and the diameter of the lower support ring 402 is larger than the inner diameter of the axle housing 5's opening. It is used to support the bottom of the axle housing 5's opening. The upper support ring 403 is fixedly installed on top of the lower support ring 402 to press and position the inner ring at the bottom of the axle housing 5's opening.
[0028] As a preferred option, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper support ring 403 has equal-spaced limiting grooves 4031, a pressing rod 4032 is provided in the limiting groove 4031, and a spring 4033 is provided in the limiting groove 4031. One end of the pressing rod 4032 near the inner ring of the upper support ring 403 is inclined, and the other end of the pressing rod 4032 is curved.
[0029] It should be noted that, as Figure 5 As shown, multiple limiting grooves 4031 are formed through the upper support ring 403. The multiple limiting grooves 4031 are arranged at equal intervals for the installation of the pressing rod 4032 and the spring 4033. The side of the pressing rod 4032 near the inner ring of the upper support ring 403 is a convex inclined surface, and the side of the pressing rod 4032 near the outer ring of the upper support ring 403 is a curved surface, which is adapted to the inner ring of the bridge housing 5 pipa mouth, so that the pressing rod 4032 is pressed against the pipa mouth of the bridge housing 5 with more uniform force.
[0030] As a preferred option, it remains as follows Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting slide bar 4011 is provided at the bottom corner of the base 401, a compression spring 4012 is provided on the limiting slide bar 4011, and a wedge groove 4013 is provided at the bottom of the base 401.
[0031] Specifically, the limiting slide bar 4011 is fixedly installed at the corner of the bottom of the base 401 to keep the base 401 stable when moving up and down. The compression spring 4012 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting slide bar 4011, with its top fixedly installed on the base 401 and its bottom fixedly installed on the operating table 1, so that the base 401 moves downward to return to its initial state when it is not subjected to an upward external force. The wedge groove 4013 is opened at the bottom of the base 401. The lifting mechanism 3 squeezes the wedge groove 4013 to make the base 401 move upward, thereby making the positioning mechanism 4 move upward.
[0032] As a preferred option, it remains as follows Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 4 also includes a first cylinder 404 fixedly disposed on the top of the lifting mechanism 3, and a pressing block 405 is fixedly disposed on the output end of the first cylinder 404.
[0033] Specifically, the first cylinder 404 is located at the top of the base 401 and is used to drive the extrusion block 405. The extrusion block 405 is a cuboid located at the bottom of the extrusion rod 4032 near the inner ring of the upper support ring 403. It is used to drive the extrusion rod 4032 so that the curved end of the extrusion rod 4032 presses against the inner ring of the bridge housing 5, thereby fixing the bridge housing 5.
[0034] As a preferred option, it remains as follows Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the operating table 1 is provided with four limiting slide grooves 101, the limiting slide rod 4011 is slidably disposed on the limiting slide grooves 101, and the top of the operating table 1 is provided with two guide grooves 102 in the horizontal direction.
[0035] Specifically, the limiting slide groove 101 is opened on the top of the operating table 1, and the limiting slide rod 4011 is slidably installed in the limiting slide groove 101, so that the base 401 moves smoothly up and down under the action of the limiting slide groove 101. Two guide grooves 102 are opened laterally in the middle of the top of the operating table 1 and are located between the front and rear sets of limiting slide grooves 101, for the sliding installation of the lifting mechanism 3.
[0036] As a preferred option, it remains as follows Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a second cylinder 301 fixedly installed on the top of the operating table 1 and a wedge block 302 fixedly installed at the output end of the second cylinder 301. The second cylinder 301 and the wedge block 302 are fixedly connected by a connecting frame 303. A slider 304 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the wedge block 302, and the slider 304 is slidably installed on the guide groove 102.
[0037] Specifically, the second cylinder 301 is fixedly installed on the top of the operating table 1 on one side of the positioning mechanism 4, providing power for the wedge block 302 to move on the operating table 1. The wedge block 302 is slidably installed on the operating table 1, located on the top of the base 401, for driving the base 401 to move up and down. The slider 304 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the wedge block 302, and the slider 304 is slidably installed on the guide groove 102 to assist the stability of the wedge block 302 when moving left and right.
[0038] Working principle: Before processing the axle housing 5, the half-shaft sleeves at both ends of the axle housing 5 are first fixedly installed on the support plate 2. The second cylinder 301 is started. Under the driving action of the second cylinder 301, the wedge block 302 moves away from the second cylinder 301. At the same time, the wedge block 302 presses the wedge groove 4013 at the bottom of the base 401. Under the pressing action of the wedge block 302, the base 401 moves upward, thereby causing the positioning mechanism 4 to move upward as a whole. At this time, the compression spring 4012 is stretched. When the top of the lower support ring 402 presses against the bottom of the axle housing 5, the second cylinder 301 stops working. At the same time, the first cylinder 404 is started. Under the driving action of the first cylinder 404, the pressing block 405 moves away from the first cylinder 404. At the same time, the pressing block 405 presses the inclined pressing rod 4032. At one end, the extrusion rod 4032 moves upward in the limiting groove 403 to the outer ring of the support ring 403, so that the curved end of the extrusion rod 4032 presses against the inner ring of the bridge housing 5, positioning the bridge housing 5. At this time, the spring 4033 is compressed. After the bridge housing 5 is processed, the piston rod of the first cylinder 404 retracts back to the initial state. Under the action of the spring 4033, the extrusion rod 4032 returns to the initial state, so that the curved end of the extrusion rod 4032 separates from the inner ring of the bridge housing 5. At this time, the piston rod of the second cylinder 301 retracts back to the initial state. Under the action of the downward pulling force of the compression spring 4012, the positioning mechanism 4 moves downward to return to the initial state. At this time, one side of the bridge housing 5 is processed. The bridge housing 5 is flipped over or replaced with the next bridge housing 5 through other devices, and the bridge housing 5 is positioned in the same way as above.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
