Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edge trimming mold technology, and in particular to a rapid edge trimming mold for camshafts. Background Technology
[0002] The camshaft is one of the key components of an engine. Its main function is to control the opening and closing timing of the valves to ensure that the engine can work according to the predetermined working cycle and firing order. In the forming process of the camshaft, whether it is forging or casting, excess burrs and flash will be generated on the edge of the workpiece. These excess parts not only affect the appearance quality of the camshaft, but may also cause wear or interference to other components during subsequent assembly and use, reducing the performance and reliability of the engine.
[0003] When using a traditional camshaft trimming die, the die is first installed on the press and adjusted to ensure that the upper and lower die bases are in parallel and the blade gap is uniform. After confirming that there is no interference by no-load trial molding, the camshaft blank is cleaned of impurities and placed on the die worktable. Finally, the excess part of the blank edge is cut off to complete the trimming.
[0004] Traditional camshaft trimming dies struggle to achieve stable clamping and positioning of the camshaft during trimming, which can easily lead to displacement or wobbling of the camshaft blank during the trimming process. This results in deviations in trimming dimensional accuracy and uneven edge burrs. Furthermore, the cumbersome operation of changing different tools increases downtime, and frequent disassembly and assembly can cause the die positioning reference to shift, leading to unstable trimming quality.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower mold is provided with a cutting blade channel one and a cutting blade channel two. Cutting blade one and cutting blade two are slidably connected inside the lower mold. A cylinder three is provided on one side of the outer wall of the lower mold. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder three. A connecting column one is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate. A cylinder two is provided on the other side of the outer wall of the lower mold. A connecting column two is fixedly connected to the outer walls of both cutting blade one and cutting blade two. The connecting column two is slidably connected inside the connecting column one.

A ball is slidably connected inside the sliding sleeve. A spring is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding sleeve.
[0009] Furthermore, the base has a sliding groove inside, and the outer wall of the fixing block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove.
[0010] Furthermore, an upper mold is provided above the lower mold, the clamp is provided at the end of the camshaft, the rack is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder, and the rack and rack are respectively meshed on both sides of the outer wall of the gear.
[0011] Furthermore, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting column, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve.
[0012] Furthermore, a guide rail is fixedly connected inside the cutting blade channel, and the outer wall of the cutting blade is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rail.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. In this utility model, the cylinder pushes the rack to mesh with the gear, and the rack drives the fixing block and the base to move horizontally along the slide groove, thereby causing the clamp to clamp the end of the camshaft. Then, the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate the camshaft in the placement groove. This solves the problem that traditional camshaft trimming molds are difficult to stably clamp and position the camshaft during trimming, which can easily cause the camshaft blank to shift or shake during trimming, resulting in deviations in trimming dimensional accuracy and uneven edge burrs. This invention achieves a stable clamping effect on the camshaft.
[0017] 2. In this utility model, by moving the axial sliding sleeve along the ring, the balls inside the sleeve are disengaged from the limiting groove of the connecting column two under the elastic reset action of the spring, thus releasing the locking between the first and second cutters and the first connecting column. After the sliding sleeve moves in the opposite direction, the balls are re-embedded into the slot of the second connecting column. The self-locking is achieved by the spring preload force, which solves the problems of cumbersome operation and increased downtime when changing different cutters, frequent disassembly and assembly that easily lead to the displacement of the mold positioning reference, and thus cause unstable cutting edge quality. This achieves the effect of quick cutter replacement. Attached Figure Description

The outer walls of rack 1 22 and rack 27 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rail 20. The guide rail 20 is used to constrain the movement direction of the racks, reduce friction loss, and improve transmission stability. A cylinder is provided on one side of the outer wall of the base 11. Cylinder 7 pushes rack 22 to move linearly, controlling the clamping and releasing of clamp 4. Cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to rack 22. The lower mold 1 is provided with cutting knife channel 16 and cutting knife channel 29. Cutting knife 14 and cutting knife 20 are slidably connected inside the lower mold 1. Cylinder 39 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the lower mold 1.

[0029] Working principle: First, the output end of cylinder 7 drives rack 22 to mesh with gear 23. Through the linkage between gear 23 and rack 27, the base 5 on the fixed block 21 moves horizontally along the slide groove 10, thereby driving the clamp 4 to clamp the end of the camshaft 3. Then, the motor 6 is started, driving the rotating shaft 28 to rotate the camshaft 3 in the placement groove 17, realizing the precise alignment and stable clamping of the clamp 4 and the camshaft 3. During the cutting process, cylinder 9 pushes the connecting column 13 towards the center of the mold through the connecting plate 12, driving the tool 14 to slide along the guide rail 15 in the cutting tool channel 16. At the same time, cylinder 8 drives the connecting column 18 on the other side to move together, so that the tool 30 cuts... The tool channel 29 feeds synchronously in opposite directions, and the two tools simultaneously cut the rotating camshaft 3 from both sides, improving processing efficiency and surface flatness. In addition, when changing tools quickly, the operator slides the sliding sleeve 19 axially, moving it along the outer wall of the ring 24. At this time, the ball 25 inside the sliding sleeve 19 is released from the limiting groove of the connecting column 2 18 under the elastic reset action of the spring 26, releasing the locking state between the tool 1 14, the tool 2 30 and the connecting column 1 13, realizing the instantaneous separation of the tools. After replacement, sliding the sliding sleeve 19 in the opposite direction can make the ball 25 re-embed into the corresponding slot of the connecting column 2 18, and self-locking is achieved by the preload of the spring 26, realizing the effect of quick tool changing.
