Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fixtures for machining irregularly shaped parts, specifically, it relates to a fixture for machining irregularly shaped aluminum alloy parts. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum alloy irregular-shaped parts refer to aluminum alloy parts with complex and irregular shapes, typically possessing non-standard geometries and dimensions. They may include various complex curves, angles, and connection methods, such as bending and welding. These parts are commonly used in industrial applications requiring special shapes and functions, such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and machinery manufacturing. The manufacturing process for aluminum alloy irregular-shaped parts includes roughing and finishing, and sometimes aging treatment is required to release internal stress, ensuring product accuracy and preventing deformation. Common manufacturing processes include turning, milling, head removal, thread cutting, and slot milling. For irregularly shaped parts with significant height differences, machining holes on different planes presents challenges. Standard drill bits are often insufficient in length to reach the lower plane, necessitating the use of custom-made extended drill bits. However, these extended bits have lower rigidity, causing vibrations during drilling and affecting accuracy. Furthermore, due to the part's unique structure, drilling typically involves clamping and fixing the parts. Since the drilling locations are numerous and dispersed, the clamping position can interfere with drilling. Therefore, after drilling some areas, the clamping position needs adjustment, requiring separate machining operations. The clamping and fixing method cannot effectively position irregularly shaped parts; thus, alignment is necessary during drilling to ensure machining accuracy.

[0003] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a jig for machining irregularly shaped aluminum alloy parts includes an upper support plate 1 and a jig base plate 2. A support plate 18 is provided between the upper support plate 1 and the jig base plate 2. A support seat 3 is fixedly provided at one end of the upper support plate 1, and a clamping hydraulic rod 4 is fixedly installed on the support seat 3. A clamping seat 5 is provided at the telescopic end of the clamping hydraulic rod 4. A support seat 2 13 is fixedly provided at the other end of the upper support plate 1, and a clamping hydraulic rod 2 12 is fixedly installed on the support seat 2 13. A clamping seat 211 is provided at the telescopic end of the second 12. A non-circular part body 6 is provided between the clamping seat 15 and the clamping seat 211. A support base plate 9 is provided below the non-circular part body 6. A positioning mandrel 10 is provided on the support base plate 9. The lower part of the support base plate 9 is connected to the telescopic rod of the lifting hydraulic rod 14. The lifting hydraulic rod 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the upper support plate 1. Two positioning mandrels 10 are provided to cooperate with the holes on the non-circular part body 6.

[0023] The irregular part body 6 is provided with an upper machining surface 7 and a lower machining surface 8. Both the upper machining surface 7 and the lower machining surface 8 are provided with corresponding main mating holes. The two positioning mandrels 10 are respectively adapted to the main mating holes on the upper machining surface 7 and the lower machining surface 8 to ensure effective positioning of the irregular part body 6.

[0024] The upper end of the positioning mandrel 10 is provided with a mating guide cone surface 17 to facilitate quick installation and mating of the positioning mandrel 10 with the corresponding main mating hole.

[0025] Both support base 13 and support base 213 are U-shaped frame structures. Reinforcing ribs 19 are fixedly installed on the inner side of both support base 13 and support base 213 to improve the stability of the structure.

[0026] A hydraulic housing 15 is provided on the clamp base plate 2 at the side of the lifting hydraulic rod 14. Fixing holes 16 are provided near the four corners of the clamp base plate 2. The hydraulic housing 15 is equipped with hydraulic components that match the hydraulic rod to ensure the realization of the hydraulic rod's function.

[0027] Protective pads 20 are provided on the clamping surfaces of clamping seat 1 5 and clamping seat 2 11. The protective pads 20 are made of zinc alloy, which has a lower hardness than aluminum alloy, and are used to protect the clamping position of the irregular part body 6.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When drilling the irregular part body 6, the irregular part body 6 is placed on the support base plate 9. Note that the main mating hole on the lower machining surface 8 of the irregular part body 6 is mated with the corresponding positioning mandrel 10. At this time, the irregular part body 6 can rotate relative to the mating positioning mandrel 10. The clamping hydraulic rod 1 4 and clamping hydraulic rod 2 12 are activated, which drive the clamping seat 1 5 and clamping seat 2 11 to move horizontally and clamp the cylindrical structures at both ends of the irregular part body 6. Since the clamping position of clamping seat 1 5 and clamping seat 2 11 is a V-shaped structure, which is matched with the cylindrical surface, it can be effectively centered, thereby effectively limiting the irregular part body 6 and achieving clamping and fixing. Since the irregular part body is made of aluminum alloy, the clamping force needs to be adjusted in advance to avoid excessive clamping force causing deformation of the part. The control of clamping force is the same as that of hydraulic chuck, which is the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] After drilling and tapping the holes on the upper machined surface 7, loosen clamping seat 1 5 and clamping seat 2 11, and the main body 6 of the irregular part can be removed and rotated 180 degrees. At this time, the lower machined surface 8 contacts the support base plate 9, and the main mating hole on the upper machined surface 7 mates with the corresponding positioning mandrel 10. Then, clamping and fixing are performed using clamping seat 1 5 and clamping seat 2 11, and then the holes on the lower machined surface 8 are machined.

[0030] This utility model is equipped with clamping seat 5 and clamping seat 11. Addressing the unique structure of the irregularly shaped part body 6, the clamping seats are used to clamp and fix the outer cylindrical surfaces at both ends of the irregularly shaped part body 6. Both clamping seats 5 and 11 are V-shaped structures, automatically positioning themselves based on the outer circle during clamping to ensure the straightness of the irregularly shaped part during clamping. A support base plate 9 is provided below the irregularly shaped part body 6, and a positioning mandrel 10 is provided on the support base plate 9. The positioning mandrel 10 engages with the main mating hole on the irregularly shaped part body for positioning, further ensuring the accuracy of clamping and fixing the irregularly shaped part. The clamping process is simple to operate, and the height of the support base plate 9 is adjustable to meet the drilling and processing needs of irregularly shaped parts of the same model but different specifications.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
