DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The advantages and characteristics of the utility model will be illustrated and explained by the following non-restrictive preferred embodiments, and these embodiments are given only as examples with reference to the drawings.
[0024] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the overall structure of the rear axle housing is a hollow cylindrical center, and the cylindrical center extends to both ends of the cylindrical diameter. The cylindrical center of the rear axle housing is initially rough-machined, and then a circular thin plate is welded at both ends of the cylindrical center. The through hole in the middle of the circular thin plate is the pipa hole, and the end of the circular thin plate away from the cylindrical center of the rear axle housing is the leveling plane. The size of the rear axle housing is generally marked with the pipa hole as the reference to the end face, and in order to reduce the transmission system of the machine tool during machining, the spindle feed of the pipa hole is only completed in the depth direction during the finishing machining of the pipa hole. Therefore, the tool axis at the initial position of the tool inserted into the pipa hole needs to be coaxial with the axis of the pipa hole. The axial centering mechanism can ensure that the initial insertion axis of the machining tool is coaxial with the axis of the pipa hole.
[0025] The axial direction of the rear axle housing is along the direction of the two extended ends of the rear axle housing, and the transverse direction of the rear axle housing is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rear axle housing. The transverse direction of the rear axle housing is coaxial with one of the diameters of the cylindrical part of the rear axle housing.
[0026] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 The rear axle housing axial centering device provided by the utility model comprises a supporting seat 1, the supporting seat 1 is connected with a base body, and the base body can be one of the ground, a wall body or a base of a machine tool. In order to facilitate the sliding of the supporting seat 1 on the base body, a linear guide rail 15 is arranged between the supporting seat 1 and the base body, the guide rail of the linear guide rail 15 is arranged on the base body and is fixedly connected with the base body, and the sliding block of the linear guide rail 15 is fixedly connected with the supporting seat 1. The linear guide rail 15 is arranged horizontally and perpendicularly to the axial direction of the rear axle housing.
[0027] When the axial centering of the rear axle housing is needed, the sliding block of the linear guide rail 15 slides towards the rear axle housing, thereby driving the supporting seat 1 to slide towards the rear axle housing; when the supporting seat 1 is moved to the position, the axial centering device starts to work and the axial centering of the rear axle housing is performed. After the axial centering work is completed, the sliding block of the linear guide rail 15 slides away from the rear axle housing, thereby driving the supporting seat 1 to move away from the rear axle housing, so as to avoid the tool, and the tool is inserted into the rear axle housing to machine the pipa hole.
[0028] The rear axle housing axial centering device further comprises a first oil cylinder 2, which is a double-rod oil cylinder, and the output end of the first oil cylinder 2 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the axial direction of the rear axle housing. The first oil cylinder 2 is arranged away from the rear axle housing, and the fixed end of the first oil cylinder 2 is fixedly connected with the support seat 1. A first rack 4 is fixedly connected with the output end of the first oil cylinder 2 close to the side of the rear axle housing, and the first rack 4 is preferably fixedly connected with the output end of the first oil cylinder 2 through a first connecting screw 3. The first rack 4 is parallel to the output end of the first oil cylinder 2, that is, the first rack 4 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the axial direction of the rear axle housing.
