Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a clamping and positioning tool for inducing tooth processing. Background Technology

[0002] Guide teeth are crucial components of tracks in special vehicle mobility systems. During vehicle movement, the guide teeth engage with the guide grooves of the road wheels, guiding the road wheels to remain centered on the track and preventing track slippage and misalignment. Guide teeth products are characterized by large production volumes, short delivery times, and irregular shapes. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the blank for the guide tooth is a die forging, with an uneven appearance and poor consistency. One blank can be used to process two guide tooth products. The machining process consists of six steps: 1. Milling two planes, 2. Drilling and boring, 3. Cutting off, 4. Drilling threaded pilot holes, 5. Chamfering, and 6. Tapping. Among them, steps 4, 5, and 6 are processed using a Z5140 vertical drilling machine with a special drilling jig. These three steps require loading and unloading the workpiece three times, resulting in low clamping efficiency, low processing efficiency, high operator labor intensity, high tap procurement costs, and unstable product processing quality, which cannot meet current production needs.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] This utility model proposes a clamping and positioning fixture for machining guide teeth. The fixture includes a flange, a screw, a counterweight, a counterweight locking nut, a clamping nut, a pressure plate, a pressure spring, a spacer, a double-ended stud, a stud locking nut, a base, an adjusting center, a positioning plate, a pad, and positioning pins.

[0020] Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the fixture structure for guiding tooth machining and positioning according to this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, contents, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0022] This embodiment proposes an induced gear machining clamping and positioning fixture, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 2 and 3 As shown, it mainly includes flange 1, screw 2, counterweight 3, counterweight locking nut 4, clamping nut 5, pressure plate 6, pressure spring 7, spacer 8, double-ended stud 9, stud locking nut 10, bracket 12, internal hexagon bracket mounting bolt 13, adjusting center 14, positioning plate 15, internal hexagon positioning plate mounting bolt 16, straight pin 17, pad 18, positioning plate fixing screw 19, and positioning pin 20.

[0023] The positioning plate 15 has an L-shaped structure consisting of a horizontal plate and a side plate. The pad 18 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate by multiple positioning plate fixing screws 19. Two positioning pins 20 are pressed from the pad 18 into two positioning holes on the horizontal plate to position the guide tooth product 11. The side plate of the positioning plate 15 is fixedly connected to the front end face of the flange 1 by two sets of internal hexagonal positioning plate mounting bolts 16 and straight pins 17. The attachment 12 is fixedly connected to the center position of the end face of the flange 1 by multiple internal hexagonal attachment mounting bolts 13. The adjusting tip 14 is installed at the center threaded hole of the attachment 12 through the tail thread to tighten the tail end of the guide tooth product 11. Multiple screws 2 pass through the counterweight 3 and are inserted into the threaded hole on the end face of the flange 1. Multiple counterweight locking nuts 4 are screwed into the front thread of the screws 2 to fix the counterweight 3 to the flange 1. After the stud lock nut 10 is installed at the lower thread of the double-ended stud 9, it is tightened and fixed on the horizontal plate of the positioning plate 15. The spacer 8, pressure spring 7 and pressure plate 6 are sequentially fitted onto the double-ended stud 9. The clamping nut 5 is installed at the upper thread of the double-ended stud 9, and the guide tooth product 11 is clamped by the pressure plate 6.

[0024] In this embodiment, the counterweight 3 has an arc-shaped structure. The pad 18, straight pin 17, positioning pin 20 and adjusting center 14 need to be quenched with a hardness of HRC40-45. Other parts need to be tempered with a hardness of HRC28-32 to ensure the rigidity and stability of the tooling.

[0025] When using the aforementioned guide tooth machining clamping and positioning fixture for guide tooth machining, the flange 1 of the fixture is securely clamped and aligned using the four-jaw chuck of the CNC lathe, ensuring that the perpendicularity and circular runout are adjusted to within 0.01. The positioning surface of the fixture is cleaned, and the bottom surface of the guide tooth product 11, which has undergone the cutting process, is placed flat on the pad 18. The two arcs of the guide tooth product 11 are tightly pressed against the two positioning pins 20, without any gaps. The clamping nut 5 at the upper end of the pressure plate 6 is tightened using a hexagonal socket wrench to ensure that the guide tooth product 11 is fixed on the fixture, restricting the radial movement of the guide tooth product 11 along the fixture. The adjusting center 14 is adjusted to be able to hold the tail end of the guide tooth product 11, restricting the axial movement of the guide tooth product 11 along the fixture, thereby ensuring that the guide tooth product 11 will not shift or swing when a large thrust is generated during drilling. After clamping, machining can be started. During machining, a carbide down-the-hole drill is used to machine the threaded bottom hole and chamfer on the guide tooth product 11. An internal thread cutting tool is used to machine the internal thread. Throughout the machining process, coolant is fully utilized to cool and lubricate the cutting tool and guide tooth product 11. By programming a CNC machining program, the effects of high-speed drilling and chamfering, stable thread machining, and concentrated processes are achieved.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
