Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intake manifold processing technology, specifically to an intake manifold surface drilling device. Background Technology

At the same time, multi-hole machining requires repeated disassembly and assembly, resulting in low efficiency. While existing automated equipment can partially improve these issues, it generally suffers from defects such as complex structure and poor adaptability. It is unable to quickly adjust the clamping range or lacks multi-point stable clamping capabilities for irregularly shaped workpieces. Therefore, new technical solutions need to be designed to address these problems. Utility Model Content

The drilling fixing structure includes two slide rails 2, two sliders 3, a mounting plate 4, a first linear module 5, two bearing plates 6, a first motor 7, and a mounting frame 8.
[0025] Two slide rails 2 are respectively installed on the upper sides of the base plate 1. Two sliders 3 are respectively movably fitted on the upper ends of the two slide rails 2. The lower sides of the mounting plate 4 are respectively connected to the upper ends of the two sliders 3. The first linear module 5 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper end of the base plate 1, and the drive end is connected to the center of the lower wall of the mounting plate 4. Two bearing plates 6 are respectively installed on the upper sides of the mounting plate 4 and connected. The first motor 7 is fixedly installed on the side wall of one of the bearing plates 6. The two ends of the mounting frame 8 are respectively movably embedded in the two bearing plates 6, and one end is connected to the drive end of the first motor 7.
[0026] In this technical solution, when fixing the intake manifold, the operator first moves the device to the designated position, supports it with the base plate 1, and connects it to the designated control system. Then, according to the specifications of the intake manifold, the four fixing components on the upper end of the mounting frame 8 are adjusted so that the four fixing components correspond to the four holes at one end of the intake manifold. Then, one end of the intake manifold is fitted onto the upper end of the four fixing components. The four fixing components automatically expand to expand and fix one end of the intake manifold. Then, the first motor 7 on one side of the drive bearing plate 6 works, driving the mounting frame 8 to rotate a specified angle within the two bearing plates 6 to adjust the installation angle of the intake manifold. Then, the first linear module 5 on the upper end of the base plate 1 is driven to change the position of the mounting plate 4 on the upper end of the base plate 1, thereby adjusting the position of the intake manifold. Finally, the drilling structure works to continuously drill holes on the surface of the intake manifold. The two slide rails 2 and two sliders 3 are designed to ensure the stability of the movement of the mounting plate 4.
[0027] In some technical solutions, reference Figure 1 The mounting frame 8 is movably fitted with four fixing components, each of which includes a sliding frame 9, a positioning bolt 10, four mounting rods 11, a bearing block 12, a drive screw 13, a second motor 14, a drive block 15, four hinge seats 16, and four flip plates 17.
[0028] The sliding frame 9 is movably mounted on the upper end of the mounting frame 8. The positioning bolt 10 is movably embedded in the side wall of the sliding frame 9. The four mounting rods 11 are all mounted on the upper end of the sliding frame 9. The bearing block 12 is fixedly mounted on the top of the four mounting rods 11. The top of the drive screw 13 is connected to the bearing block 12, and the bottom end movably passes through the sliding frame 9. The second motor 14 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the sliding frame 9, and the drive end is connected to the bottom end of the drive screw 13.

[0029] In this technical solution, when fixing the intake manifold, the operator first adjusts the sliding frame 9 to the designated position within the mounting frame 8, and fixes the position of the sliding frame 9 with the positioning bolts 10. Then, one end of the intake manifold is fitted onto the upper end of the four mounting rods 11 and the drive screw 13. Subsequently, the second motor 14 at the lower end of the sliding frame 9 is driven to work. The second motor 14 drives the drive screw 13 to rotate within the bearing block 12. During the rotation of the drive screw 13, the drive block 15 fitted onto the upper end of the drive screw 13 and the mounting rods 11 moves upward until the first wedge-shaped protrusion 21 on the outer side of the drive block 15 contacts the second wedge-shaped protrusion 22 on the inner wall of the flip plate 17, pushing the flip plate 17 to flip outward within the hinge seat 16, thereby expanding and fixing the inner wall of the intake manifold.

[0031] The operating frame 18 is fixedly installed on the other side of the upper end of the base plate 1, the second linear module 19 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the operating frame 18, and the drilling machine 20 is installed on the drive end of the second linear module 19.
[0032] In this technical solution, after the intake manifold is fixed, the second linear module 19 located on one side of the operating frame 18 works, driving the drilling machine 20 to move to the designated position, and then the drilling machine 20 works to perform drilling operations on the designated position of the intake manifold.
[0033] In some technical solutions, reference Figure 1 The drive block 15 is connected to the drive screw 13 with an internal thread. A first wedge-shaped protrusion 21 is installed on the side wall of the drive block 15, and a second wedge-shaped protrusion 22 is installed on the inner wall of the flip plate 17. A motor frame 23 is installed at the connection between one of the bearing plates 6 and the first motor 7.
