Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machining, specifically a general-purpose tooling for machining thin-walled parts on a CNC lathe. Background Technology
[0002] In CNC lathe machining, thin-walled parts are a common type of workpiece. Due to their thin walls and susceptibility to deformation, effective support and protection are required during machining to ensure machining accuracy and product quality. Traditional support methods often employ specialized contouring fixtures, which are typically customized to the shape and dimensions of the thin-walled parts, thus offering high precision and adaptability.
[0003] However, with the increasing variety and complexity of thin-walled parts, traditional dedicated profiling fixtures face numerous challenges. First, each type of thin-walled part requires the design and manufacture of a dedicated fixture, which not only increases production costs but also extends the production cycle. Second, due to their large size and complex structure, these fixtures are difficult to disassemble once mounted on the lathe faceplate, limiting the flexibility and versatility of the machining equipment. Furthermore, when the design of a thin-walled part changes, the existing fixture may become unusable and requires redesign and manufacture, further increasing costs and time.
[0004] Traditional processes require the design and fabrication of dedicated internal support contouring fixtures for each type of thin-walled part. The design and fabrication of these fixtures are not only costly, but also, because the contouring angles, diameters, and heights of different thin-walled parts vary, a single contouring fixture can often only be used for one type of thin-walled part. Furthermore, the large size of the contouring fixtures, once installed on the lathe facet, makes them difficult to disassemble and replace, further limiting processing efficiency and flexibility. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a universal tooling for machining thin-walled parts on CNC lathes, thereby solving the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0007] A general-purpose tooling for machining thin-walled parts on a CNC lathe is characterized in that: it includes a multi-layered tooling body, the bottom layer of which is connected to the lathe faceplate, and the front of the bottom layer tooling has grooves of various diameters to adapt to and assemble contouring parts of different specifications, thereby realizing the machining adaptation of different thin-walled parts.
[0008] The aforementioned general-purpose tooling for machining thin-walled parts on CNC lathes is characterized in that the grooves of various diameters include, but are not limited to, circular grooves, elliptical grooves, or other shaped grooves of different diameters, to accommodate thin-walled parts of different shapes and sizes.
[0009] The aforementioned universal tooling for machining thin-walled parts on CNC lathes is characterized in that the different specifications of the contouring profiles are detachably assembled on the lowest layer of tooling, and each contouring profile corresponds to the shape and size of a thin-walled part product. By changing the contouring profiles, the machining of different thin-walled part products can be achieved.
[0010] The aforementioned general-purpose tooling for machining thin-walled parts on a CNC lathe is characterized in that the contouring is connected to the groove of the lowest-level tooling by bolts, clips, or other fastening methods to ensure the stability and accuracy of the contouring during the machining process.
[0011] The general-purpose tooling for machining thin-walled parts on a CNC lathe is characterized in that an intermediate layer is provided between the bottommost tooling and the contouring tooling.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application provides a universal tooling for machining thin-walled parts on CNC lathes. By adopting a multi-layered tooling body and a replaceable contouring design, this technical solution can achieve rapid adaptation and machining of thin-walled parts of different specifications without the need to frequently replace the entire tooling or lathe faceplate, thereby significantly improving machining efficiency and flexibility.
[0013] Because the tooling in this technical solution can be adapted to various sizes of contour lines, the need for specialized tooling is reduced, thus lowering production costs. At the same time, the manufacturing and replacement costs of the contour lines are relatively low, further reducing overall processing costs. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Example 1
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown: A general-purpose tooling for machining thin-walled parts on a CNC lathe includes a multi-layered tooling body. The bottom layer of the tooling body is connected to the lathe faceplate, and the front of the bottom layer tooling has grooves of various diameters to accommodate and assemble contouring parts of different specifications, thereby achieving machining adaptation for different thin-walled parts.
[0019] The various diameter specifications of the grooves include, but are not limited to, circular grooves, elliptical grooves or other shaped grooves of different diameters, to accommodate thin-walled parts of different shapes and sizes; for example, the diameter of the circular groove can be 50mm, 75mm or 100mm.
[0020] The different specifications of the templates are detachably assembled on the lowest tooling. Each template corresponds to the shape and size of a thin-walled product. By changing the template, different thin-walled products can be processed.
[0021] The profile is connected to the groove of the lowest tooling by bolts, clips or other fastening methods to ensure the stability and accuracy of the profile during the processing.
[0022] Example 2
[0023] The fixture includes a multi-layered fixture body. The bottom fixture 1 is connected to the lathe faceplate, and the front is provided with grooves 2 of various diameters to accommodate and assemble contour pieces 3 of different specifications.
[0024] In this embodiment, the groove 2 includes circular grooves with diameters of 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm, as well as elliptical grooves and other shaped grooves adapted to thin-walled parts of specific shapes. The location and number of these grooves can be adjusted according to actual processing requirements.
[0025] The profile 3 is a structure that is detachably assembled in the groove 2 of the lowest tooling 1. Each profile corresponds to the shape and size of a thin-walled part. The profile 3 is bolted to the groove 2 to ensure its stability and accuracy during processing. At the same time, the profile 3 is preferably made of a high-strength, wear-resistant material to meet the needs of long-term processing.
[0026] The main tooling also includes an intermediate layer 4 positioned between the bottom tooling 1 and the contour 3, and an upper tooling 5 positioned above the contour 3. The intermediate layer 4 is a flat plate structure whose shape and size match the bottom tooling 1, and it has through holes corresponding to the slot 2 for accommodating and fixing the lower structure of the contour 3. The intermediate layer 4 is preferably made of a high-strength, wear-resistant material.
[0027] The upper fixture 5 is a plate-like structure, its shape and size matching those of the contour 3 and the intermediate layer 4. The upper fixture 5 has corresponding fixing holes in the contour 3 for clamping and securing the thin-walled part. The upper fixture 5 is preferably made of a high-strength, deformation-resistant material to ensure effective support and protection for the thin-walled part during processing. Simultaneously, the upper fixture 5 is bolted to the contour 3 to fix the thin-walled part onto the contour 3, forming a stable and reliable processing system.
[0028] In the actual machining process, based on the specifications and shape of the thin-walled part, a suitable profile 3 is selected and assembled into the groove 2 of the lowest fixture 1, and fixed and supported by the intermediate layer 4 and the upper fixture 5. Then, the entire fixture is installed on a CNC lathe for machining operations. After machining, the profile 3 can be easily disassembled and replaced to adapt to the machining requirements of different thin-walled parts.
