Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of die-cast aluminum product processing technology, and in particular to a clamping fixture for processing die-cast aluminum pump covers for automotive oil pumps. Background Technology

[0002] Die-cast aluminum pump covers, as key components in automotive fuel pumps, offer several significant advantages that have led to their widespread use in modern automotive manufacturing. Here are some of the main advantages: 1) Lightweight Design: Die-cast aluminum has a lower density than traditional metals like steel, significantly reducing the overall weight of the fuel pump. This contributes to improved fuel economy and reduced carbon emissions, aligning with the modern trend towards lightweight vehicles. 2) Excellent Heat Dissipation: Aluminum alloys have excellent thermal conductivity, effectively dissipating the heat generated during pump operation, maintaining stable internal temperatures, extending service life, and improving pump efficiency and reliability. 3) High-Precision Manufacturing: Die-casting processes enable high-precision forming of complex shapes, ensuring a tight fit between the pump cover and other pump components, reducing leakage risks, and improving overall pump performance and sealing. 4) Strong Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum alloys offer good resistance to various chemicals, are not prone to rust or corrosion, and are suitable for operation in harsh environments such as humidity and salt spray, ensuring long-term stable operation of the fuel pump. 5) Enhanced structural strength: Through reasonable die-casting design and alloy selection, the die-cast aluminum pump cover can ensure lightweight while possessing sufficient strength and rigidity to meet the requirements of oil pumps operating under high pressure.

[0003] After die casting, the aluminum pump cover of the automotive oil pump needs to be polished to remove the parting line, burrs and gate residue on the inside of the pump cover in order to improve the smoothness of the inner wall surface. During the polishing process, clamping fixtures are required to hold the pump cover.

[0004] Traditional clamping fixtures used for machining die-cast aluminum pump covers for automotive fuel pumps have shortcomings. They cannot quickly and reliably clamp near-circular pump covers of different outer diameters, affecting the polishing effect. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize and improve the traditional clamping fixtures used for machining die-cast aluminum pump covers for automotive fuel pumps. Utility Model Content
