Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flange joint processing fixtures, specifically to a special fixture for milling the four ear faces of a flange joint. Background Technology
[0002] Milling is one of the key processes in the machining of flange joints. Traditional machining methods often fail to guarantee the stability of flange joints during milling, which can easily lead to low machining accuracy and non-compliance with flatness standards. Moreover, the clamping process is cumbersome and inefficient, failing to meet the high precision and high efficiency requirements of modern industrial production. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a special fixture for milling the four ear faces of flange joints that has a reasonable structure and reliable use, so as to solve the problem of poor clamping stability when milling the four ear faces of flange joints, thereby improving the machining accuracy. At the same time, it is easy to operate and significantly improves the machining efficiency.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0005] A special fixture for milling the four ears of a flange joint includes a base plate and a clamping mechanism. The key technical features are: a boss for supporting the flange joint is provided in the center of the upper surface of the base plate; two diagonally arranged positioning holes are provided on the top surface of the boss, one positioning hole containing an angular pin and the other containing a positioning pin; the pin heads of the angular pin and the positioning pin protrude from the top surface of the boss, with the protrusion height less than the target thickness of the four ears of the flange joint; the clamping mechanism consists of crimping assemblies symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the boss. The device includes a horizontal pressure plate extending to the upper surface of the boss, a support stud supported between the other end of the horizontal pressure plate and the base plate, and a locking bolt assembly connecting the horizontal pressure plate and the base plate. The horizontal pressure plate has a corresponding elongated through hole for the locking bolt assembly. A lower buffer spring and an upper washer are fitted on the double-ended stud of the locking bolt assembly. The lower end of the double-ended stud is connected and fixed to the base plate, and the upper end passes through the elongated through hole and is connected to a locking nut. The lower end of the support stud is connected and fixed to the base plate, and the upper end has a guide groove. The bottom surface of the horizontal pressure plate has a guide protrusion that mates with the guide groove.
[0006] The aforementioned special fixture for milling the four ears of a flange joint has a base plate with a first threaded hole corresponding to a support stud and a second threaded hole corresponding to a double-ended stud. The support stud is connected to the first threaded hole and locked with a hexagonal thin nut.
[0007] The aforementioned special fixture for milling the four ears of a flange joint comprises a horizontal pressure plate consisting of a wide plate body and a narrow strip working part located on the side of the wide plate body near the boss. The long through hole is located on the wide plate body, and the end of the narrow strip working part extends above the edge of the boss on the corresponding side.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0009] 1. When using, first use the angular pin and locating pin on the top surface of the boss to position the flange joint to be milled before milling. Then, use the ends of the two horizontal pressure plates to press down on the edge of the flange joint to be milled, further ensuring the positional stability of the flange joint to be milled above the boss, avoiding displacement when milling the four ear faces of the flange joint, solving the problem of poor clamping stability when milling the four ear faces of the flange joint, significantly improving the machining accuracy, and ensuring the flatness of the four ear faces.
[0010] 2. Before being locked and positioned, the horizontal pressure plate can be adjusted to a horizontal position by its own guide ridge and the guide groove at the top of the support stud, which is the horizontal feed position of the pressing. This makes operation convenient and further improves processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0015] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the special fixture for milling the four ears of a flange joint includes a base plate 9 and a clamping mechanism.
[0016] The base plate 9 has a boss 11 in the middle of the upper surface for supporting the flange joint 10. The top surface of the boss 11 has two positioning holes arranged diagonally. One positioning hole has a angular pin 13 and the other positioning hole has a positioning pin 14. The pin heads of the angular pin 13 and the positioning pin 14 protrude from the top surface of the boss 11 and the protrusion height is less than the target thickness of the four ears of the flange joint 10.
[0017] The clamping mechanism consists of pressing assemblies symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the boss 11. Each pressing assembly includes a horizontal pressure plate 3 extending one end to the upper surface of the boss 11, a support stud 6 supported between the other end of the horizontal pressure plate 3 and the base plate 9, and a locking bolt assembly connecting the horizontal pressure plate 3 and the base plate 9. The horizontal pressure plate 3 has a corresponding elongated through hole 8 for the locking bolt assembly. A lower buffer spring 5 and an upper washer 4 are fitted onto the double-ended stud 1 of the locking bolt assembly. The lower end of the double-ended stud 1 is fixedly connected to the base plate 9, and the upper end passes through the elongated through hole 8 and is connected to a locking nut 2. The lower end of the support stud 6 is fixedly connected to the base plate 9, and the upper end has a guide groove. The bottom surface of the horizontal pressure plate 3 has a guide protrusion 12 that mates with the guide groove.
[0018] In this embodiment, the base plate 9 is provided with a first threaded hole corresponding to the support stud 6 and a second threaded hole corresponding to the double-ended stud 1. The support stud 6 is connected to the first threaded hole and locked with a hexagonal thin nut 7. The horizontal pressure plate 3 is composed of a wide plate body 301 and a narrow strip working part 302 located on the side of the wide plate body 301 near the boss 11. The elongated through hole 8 is located on the wide plate body 301, and the end of the narrow strip working part 302 extends above the edge of the boss 11 on the corresponding side.
[0019] Operating instructions:
[0020] See Figures 1-3 The flange joint 10 with four ears to be milled is placed on the top surface of the boss 11 of the base plate 9. The pin heads of the angular pin 13 and the positioning pin 14 are respectively located in the holes of the two diagonal ears of the flange joint 10 to achieve machining positioning.
[0021] Move the left and right horizontal pressure plates 3. The ends of the narrow working parts 302 of the two horizontal pressure plates 3 press against the two side edges of the flange joint 10, avoiding the four ear faces. See [link / reference]. Figure 2 Tighten the lock nut 2 to press the horizontal pressure plate 3 against the flange joint 10, thus locking and fixing it in preparation for milling operations.
