Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of machining, specifically to a multi-station self-balancing tooling device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development and improvement of the machinery manufacturing industry, tooling has become a well-known type of fixture in the industry. In daily machining, we encounter products of various shapes. Therefore, designers need to design the most reasonable tooling fixtures according to different products. Tooling fixtures are widely used in CNC machine tools, machining centers, automated production lines and other scenarios.

[0003] As the carrier of machined parts, tooling not only has strict precision requirements on the machine tool itself, but also specific precision requirements on the tooling. Only when both the precision of the tooling and the machine tool reach a reasonable range can the machined product be qualified, and only then can the machine tool precision after assembling the parts into a complete machine be qualified. Therefore, to solve the product precision problem, suitable machining tooling is particularly important. For example, the head, middle, and tail plates in a die-casting machine are representative. During the machining process, the perpendicular relationship between surfaces and holes, the distance relationship between holes, and the symmetry relationship between surfaces are all important dimensions. Without tooling, workpiece alignment consumes a lot of time, and errors of varying degrees are easily introduced during alignment. A large number of tooling accessories are needed, unnecessarily increasing the preparation time and the workload of the operator. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems—namely, the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of the machining alignment process—this invention proposes a multi-station self-balancing fixture, comprising a fixture base. Four pressure plate supports are arranged in a rectangular configuration on the upper surface of the fixture base. A set of adjusting pressure plates, consisting of two parallel plates, are also mounted on each pressure plate support. Screws are threaded onto each adjusting pressure plate, penetrating the plate to tighten the workpiece.

[0005] A further feature of this invention is that: a pad is provided on the upper surface of the tooling base, and two pads are provided between any two of the pressure plate supports; and a U-shaped groove adapted to the pad is provided on the lower surface of the workpiece.

[0006] A further feature of this invention is that one of the pads is provided with a positioning post, which abuts against the side surface of the workpiece.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0008] 1. With the support of four pressure plates and the cooperation of two adjusting pressure plates, two workpieces can be clamped at one time, thereby improving production efficiency. Furthermore, through the action of U-shaped grooves, pads, screws, and limit posts, the workpieces can be better limited, further ensuring that the workpieces will not wobble during the rotation of the machine tool, thus ensuring the balance and symmetry of the workpieces.

[0009] 2. The tooling structure in this application is simple and easy to operate, and can quickly complete routine actions such as support, clamping and release, making it more suitable for mass production. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] This utility model proposes a multi-station self-balancing fixture device, including a fixture base 1, which is used to connect with a machine tool. The upper surface of the fixture base 1 is threaded with four pressure plate supports 2, which are cylindrical supports. The four pressure plate supports 2 are respectively arranged at the four top corners of the fixture base 1 in a rectangular arrangement.

[0016] A set of adjusting pressure plates 3 is installed on the four pressure plate supports 2. One set includes two plates, and the two adjusting pressure plates 3 are arranged in parallel to each other. The two ends of the adjusting pressure plates 3 are fixedly connected to the two adjacent pressure plate supports 2 respectively.

[0017] Each adjusting pressure plate 3 is threaded with no fewer than two screws 31. The screws 31 are hexagonal type and are set through the adjusting pressure plate 3 to tighten the workpiece 5.

[0018] In use, the workpiece 5 is installed below the adjusting pressure plate 3, and then the workpiece 5 is tightened by turning the screw 31. Since the two adjusting pressure plates 3 are arranged parallel to each other, the two workpieces 5 installed under the same set of adjusting pressure plates 3 are also parallel to each other. It should be noted that by changing the height of the pressure plate support 2, it is possible to clamp two workpieces 5 of different sizes.

[0019] A pad 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tooling base 1, and two pads 4 are set between any two pressure plate supports 2. The pads 4 are rectangular. Two U-shaped grooves 51 are set on the lower surface of the workpiece 5. The U-shaped grooves 51 are adapted to the pads 4. During installation, the U-shaped grooves 51 on the workpiece 5 are aligned with the pads 4 so that the two cooperate with each other, thereby achieving the limitation of the workpiece 5 in the front and rear directions.

[0020] One of the two pads 4 is also fitted with a positioning pin. When installing the workpiece 5, one side surface of the workpiece 5 is aligned with the positioning pin to achieve positioning of the workpiece 5 in the left-right direction. This ensures accurate positioning of the two corresponding workpieces 5, automatically completing the alignment process, eliminating the need for manual alignment, and greatly saving alignment time and reducing the workload of operators.

[0021] In summary, this utility model, through the cooperation of four pressure plate supports 2 and two adjusting pressure plates 3, can achieve the purpose of clamping two workpieces 5 at once, thereby improving production efficiency. Furthermore, through the action of the U-shaped groove 51, the pad 4, the screw 31, and the limiting post 41, better positioning of the workpiece 5 can be achieved, further ensuring that the workpiece 5 will not wobble during rotation of the machine tool, thus guaranteeing the balance and symmetry of the workpiece 5. The tooling structure in this application is simple, easy to operate, and can quickly complete conventional actions such as support, clamping, and release, making it more suitable for mass production.
