Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aerospace mechanical processing technology, and more specifically, to a semi-clamp batch drilling tool. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of aerospace machining, rigid quick-release clamps are key components in engine piping systems, and their performance directly affects the reliability and safety of pipe connections. These clamps must possess high strength, high precision, and high-temperature resistance, thus imposing extremely stringent requirements on the machining process. The machining of the connecting holes on the clamp's side lugs is particularly challenging. Because the clamp has an arc-shaped structure and strict hole spacing tolerances, traditional machining methods involve drilling a single hole at the end for positioning, followed by rotating the workpiece to machine another hole. However, multiple clamping operations can easily lead to changes in the positioning datum, causing deviations in the hole spacing dimensions and affecting assembly accuracy and product performance. Furthermore, machining hole by hole is inefficient and cannot meet the mass production demands of the aerospace industry.
[0003] While existing tooling technologies can achieve single-hole positioning, they lack the ability to process multiple holes simultaneously, and the positioning structure cannot effectively constrain the radial displacement of the clamp, leading to easy misalignment during processing. Furthermore, traditional clamping devices are not adaptable to irregularly shaped workpieces and struggle to simultaneously achieve axial and radial fixation, further exacerbating processing errors. These problems not only increase rework rates and labor costs but also hinder the overall production efficiency of critical aerospace components.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of drilling fixture that can solve the core problems of inconsistent hole spacing, low processing efficiency and poor positioning stability in the existing technology through multi-axis synchronous machining, precise positioning structure and integrated clamping design, so as to meet the urgent needs of the aerospace industry for high-precision and high-efficiency machining. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, a semi-clamp batch drilling fixture is provided. Through the drill bit assembly and the semi-clamp positioning assembly, multi-axis drill bits can be used to simultaneously process holes, thus solving the problems of hole spacing deviation and low efficiency caused by traditional single-hole processing.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a batch drilling fixture for semi-clamps, comprising: a drill bit assembly and a semi-clamp positioning assembly;
[0007] The drill bit assembly includes a drive gear, a connecting spindle, six driven gears and corresponding driven shafts. The drive gear is driven by the connecting spindle and meshes with the six driven gears to rotate synchronously. Each driven gear is equipped with a driven shaft. The upper end of each driven shaft is fixed in the fixed plate by an upper bearing seat, and the bottom end of the driven shaft is connected to the drill bit.
[0008] The semi-clamp positioning assembly includes a chassis, a clamp limiting plate, and clamping bolts. The chassis has a hexagonal groove for accommodating the semi-clamp and achieving radial positioning through its outer contour. The clamp limiting plate is connected to the chassis by clamping bolts. The clamping bolts pass through the fastening holes of the clamp limiting plate to press and fix the semi-clamp. The clamp limiting plate and the drill bit assembly are concentrically installed on the drilling platform, and the hole spacing of the drill bit is consistent with the hole spacing of the semi-clamp to be processed.
[0009] Furthermore, a lower bearing seat is provided between the chassis and the clamp limiting plate, and a bearing is installed in the lower bearing seat to support the lower end of the driven shaft, ensuring that the driven shaft can rotate freely.
[0010] Furthermore, the contour of the hexagonal groove matches the shape of the half clamp, the groove depth is greater than the thickness of the half clamp, and the half clamp is fixed by applying vertical pressure through the clamping bolt.
[0011] Furthermore, the drill bit assembly also includes a drill bit chuck, which is fixed to the bottom end of the driven shaft for holding the drill bit, and the axis of the drill bit coincides with the axis of the hole to be machined of the semi-clamp.
[0012] Furthermore, the connecting spindle is connected to the drive gear via a spray gear seat, which is fixed to the drilling platform. The drive gear and the six driven gears have the same module and number of teeth to ensure synchronous transmission.
[0013] Furthermore, the fixed plate has a double-layer structure, with the upper bearing seat fixed on the upper layer and the lower bearing seat fixed on the lower layer. The two are coaxially arranged, and the fixed plate is rigidly connected to the drilling platform through an extension rod fixing frame.
[0014] Furthermore, the threaded section of the clamping bolt passes through the fastening hole of the clamp limiting plate and extends into the chassis. By tightening the clamping bolt, the clamp limiting plate and the chassis together form axial and radial constraints on the half clamp.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0016] 1. The present invention provides a batch drilling fixture for semi-clamps. Through the radial positioning design of the hexagonal groove and the clamp limiting plate, combined with the axial constraint of the clamping bolt, it ensures that the semi-clamp is concentric with the drill bit assembly after being fixed, avoids the reference offset caused by multiple clamping, and makes the hole spacing tolerance strictly meet the requirements, and significantly improves the dimensional stability.
[0017] 2. The present invention provides a semi-clamp batch drilling fixture, which uses an active gear to drive 6 driven gears to rotate synchronously. The multi-axis drill bit assembly completes the processing of 6 through holes at one time. Compared with the traditional single-hole sequential processing, it improves processing efficiency and meets the batch production needs of the aerospace field.
[0018] 3. The present invention provides a semi-clamp batch drilling fixture.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, this utility model provides a batch drilling fixture for semi-clamps, including: a drill bit assembly and a semi-clamp positioning assembly;
[0042] The drill bit assembly includes a drive gear 8, a connecting spindle 10, six driven gears 7, and corresponding driven shafts 12. The drive gear 8 is driven by the connecting spindle 10 and meshes with the six driven gears 7 to rotate synchronously. Each driven gear 7 is equipped with a driven shaft 12. The upper end of each driven shaft 12 is fixed in a fixed plate by an upper bearing seat 9, and the lower end is supported by a bearing in a lower bearing seat 3 to ensure that the driven shaft 12 can rotate freely. The bottom end of the driven shaft 12 is connected to a drill bit chuck 5 for clamping the drill bit 4. The axis of the drill bit 4 coincides with the axis of the hole to be processed of the semi-clamp 2 to ensure drilling accuracy.
[0043] The semi-clamp positioning assembly includes a chassis, a clamp limiting plate 1, and clamping bolts 11. The chassis has a hexagonal groove whose contour matches the shape of the semi-clamp 2, used to accommodate the semi-clamp 2 and achieve radial positioning through its outer contour. The groove depth is greater than the thickness of the semi-clamp 2. The clamp limiting plate 1 is connected to the chassis by clamping bolts 11. The clamping bolts 11 pass through the fastening holes of the clamp limiting plate 1 to clamp and fix the semi-clamp 2. The clamp limiting plate 1 and the drill bit assembly are concentrically installed on the drilling platform. The hole spacing of the drill bit 4 is consistent with the hole spacing of the semi-clamp 2 to be processed. After the clamping bolts 11 are tightened, the clamp limiting plate 1 and the chassis together form axial and radial constraints on the semi-clamp 2.
[0044] In practical use, the semi-clamp 2 is placed in the hexagonal groove of the chassis, and radial positioning is achieved by using its outer contour; the clamp limiting plate 1 is covered, and vertical pressure is applied by the clamping bolt 11 to fix the semi-clamp 2 in the groove and prevent displacement during processing.
[0045] Start the drilling machine power source, connect the spindle 10 to drive the drive gear 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the six driven gears 7 to rotate synchronously; each driven shaft 12 drives the drill bit 4 to press down synchronously, completing the machining of the six connecting holes of the semi-clamp 2 in one go.
[0046] Loosen the clamping bolt 11, remove the machined half clamp 2, replace with a new workpiece, and repeat the above steps to achieve efficient batch processing.
[0047] Furthermore, a lower bearing seat 3 is provided between the chassis and the clamp limiting plate 1. A bearing is installed in the lower bearing seat 3 to support the lower end of the driven shaft 12, ensuring that the driven shaft 12 can rotate freely. The lower bearing seat 3 between the chassis and the clamp limiting plate 1 provides stable support for the lower end of the driven shaft 12, reducing the vibration and wobble of the driven shaft 12 during drilling, enhancing the stability of the drill bit 4, thereby improving the hole position accuracy and the service life of the tooling.
[0048] Furthermore, the contour of the hexagonal groove matches the shape of the semi-clamp 2, the groove depth is greater than the thickness of the semi-clamp 2, and the semi-clamp 2 is fixed by applying vertical pressure through the clamping bolt 11, so that the semi-clamp 2 is completely embedded in the groove and fixed by the clamping plate 1, avoiding workpiece displacement or warping during processing, and ensuring absolute stability of positioning during processing.
[0049] Furthermore, the drill bit assembly also includes a drill bit chuck 5, which is fixed to the bottom end of the driven shaft 12 and is used to clamp the drill bit 4. The axis of the drill bit 4 coincides with the axis of the hole to be processed of the semi-clamp 2, eliminating the hole position offset caused by the drill bit installation deviation and ensuring that the positional accuracy of each hole meets the design requirements.
[0050] Furthermore, the connecting spindle 10 is connected to the drive gear 8 via the spray gear seat 6. The spray gear seat 6 is fixed to the drilling platform. The drive gear 8 and the six driven gears 7 have the same module and number of teeth to ensure synchronous transmission, avoid the difference in rotational speed of each drill bit 4 due to transmission error, and ensure the processing consistency of all holes.
[0051] Furthermore, the fixed plate has a double-layer structure, with the upper bearing seat 9 fixed on the upper layer and the lower bearing seat 3 fixed on the lower layer. The two are coaxially arranged, and the fixed plate is rigidly connected to the drilling platform through an extension rod fixing frame, which enhances the overall rigidity of the drill bit assembly, effectively suppresses vibration and deformation during the drilling process, and further improves processing stability and hole position accuracy.
[0052] Furthermore, the threaded section of the clamping bolt 11 passes through the fastening hole of the clamp limiting plate 1 and extends into the chassis. By tightening the clamping bolt 11, the clamp limiting plate 1 and the chassis together form axial and radial constraints on the half clamp 2, completely eliminating the risk of minor displacement of the workpiece during the drilling process and ensuring that the machining positions of all holes are completely consistent.
[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
