Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector housing processing technology, and in particular to a general-purpose connector housing clamping fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Connectors are widely used in communication and power transmission, and come in a wide variety of types and shapes. When machining a vertical hole in a connector with a polygonal base, the hole is perpendicular to one side of the polygonal shell, making positioning and clamping difficult. This results in lower machining accuracy and lower efficiency. Furthermore, this type of connector comes in different sizes, further increasing the production difficulty.

[0003] Existing Chinese patent CN212265618U discloses a connector housing clamping fixture. This fixture uses a V-groove to position the connector housing; then, a mandrel is inserted into the connector housing; finally, a pressure block presses the connector housing tightly against the bottom surface of the V-groove, thus clamping the connector housing. While this fixture can meet the clamping requirements of the connector housing, the inability to adjust the opening angle of the V-groove makes it unsuitable for connector housings of different specifications.

[0004] To address this, we designed a universal connector housing clamping fixture. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses a universal connector housing clamping fixture.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A universal connector housing clamping fixture includes a vertical plate, the vertical plate having a V-shaped block structure and a mandrel that can be inserted into the connector housing, the V-shaped block structure having two fixed shafts symmetrically arranged on the left and right, and adjusting blocks on both sides of the two fixed shafts, with the upper ends of the adjusting blocks extending above the fixed shafts; the vertical plate also has a first adjusting component for adjusting the left and right positions of the adjusting blocks.

[0008] Furthermore, both the left and right sections of the upright plate are provided with left and right sliding grooves; the adjusting block is slidably connected to the corresponding left and right sliding grooves.

[0009] Furthermore, the first adjustment component includes a bidirectional lead screw that is arranged on the left and right and rotatably connected to the vertical plate. Each of the two threaded portions of the bidirectional lead screw is provided with a matching first threaded slider, and the first threaded slider is fixedly connected to the adjustment block on the same side.

[0010] Furthermore, the upright plate is provided with a vertical slide groove for adjusting the height of the mandrel relative to the V-shaped block structure, and the mandrel is slidably connected to the vertical slide groove;

[0011] The upright plate is also provided with a second adjustment component for adjusting the height of the mandrel.

[0012] Furthermore, the second adjustment component includes an adjustment screw that is vertically arranged and rotatably connected to the upright plate, and a second threaded slider that is matched with the threaded portion of the adjustment screw.

[0013] Furthermore, a rotating handle is provided at the outer end of the lead screw.

[0014] Furthermore, both the fixed shaft and the upper end of the adjusting block are fitted with pressure blocks by clamping bolts.

[0015] Furthermore, the pressure block has a mounting hole at one end and a protruding pressing part at the other end.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. By driving the movement of the adjusting block with a bidirectional screw, the opening angle of the V-block structure can be flexibly adjusted, which can be adapted to polygonal connector housings of different specifications. At the same time, the height of the mandrel can be adjusted vertically by adjusting the screw, further meeting the insertion requirements of connector housings of different sizes. There is no need to frequently change the fixture, which significantly improves the versatility of the tooling.

[0018] 2. By moving the adjusting block, the corresponding pressure block moves, and by applying uniform pressure through the clamping bolt, the connector housing is stably fixed, avoiding positioning deviations caused by vibration or displacement during processing, and effectively improving the accuracy of vertical hole processing.

[0019] 3. Both the first and second adjustment components adopt a screw drive structure, which allows for quick adjustment of angle and height by turning the handle. The operation is simple and requires no professional tools, significantly reducing the difficulty of operation and improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Example 1, in conjunction with Appendix Figure 1-5 A general-purpose connector housing clamping fixture, comprising:

[0028] Upright plate 1: As needed, the bottom of the upright plate 1 has a front-to-back extending structure with mounting holes for fixed installation of the upright plate 1. The upright plate 1 is provided with a V-shaped block structure 2 and a spindle 3 that can be inserted into the connector housing.

[0029] The V-shaped block structure 2 includes two fixed shafts 21 arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides, and adjustment blocks 22 are provided on both the left and right sides of the two fixed shafts 21, with the upper end of the adjustment block 22 extending above the fixed shaft 21. That is to say, the top of the fixed shaft 21 on the left and the top of the adjustment block 22 cooperate to form a positioning surface for positioning the left side of the workpiece, and the top of the fixed shaft 21 on the right and the top of the adjustment block 22 cooperate to form a positioning surface for positioning the right side of the workpiece.

[0030] Furthermore, left and right sliding grooves 11 are provided on both the left and right sides of the upright plate 1, and the adjusting block 22 is slidably connected to the corresponding left and right sliding grooves 11.

[0031] The first adjustment assembly 4 includes a bidirectional lead screw 41 and a first threaded slider 42.

[0032] The bidirectional lead screw 41 is horizontally set and rotatably connected to the vertical plate 1, with the threads at both ends in opposite directions.

[0033] The two threaded portions of the bidirectional lead screw 41 are each provided with a first threaded slider 42, and the first threaded slider 42 is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 22 on the same side.

[0034] As needed, both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 41 are equipped with rotating handles.

[0035] By rotating the handle of the bidirectional lead screw 41, the first threaded slider 42 is driven to move along the bidirectional lead screw 41, thereby driving the adjusting block 22 to move synchronously inward or outward along the left and right slide grooves 11, so as to realize the adjustment of the opening angle of the V-shaped block structure 2.

[0036] In one example, the left and right slides 11 are located below the fixed shaft 21, and the two ends of the bidirectional lead screw 41 are connected to the rear of the vertical plate 1 through bearing seats.

[0037] Furthermore, the upright plate 1 is provided with a vertical slide groove 12, and the spindle 3 is slidably connected in the vertical slide groove 12.

[0038] Specifically, the central axis of the vertical slide 12 is located between the two fixed shafts 21.

[0039] The second adjustment component 5 includes an adjustment screw 51 and a second threaded slider 52.

[0040] The adjusting screw 51 is vertically set and rotatably connected to the vertical plate 1, and its threaded part cooperates with the second threaded slider 52.

[0041] The second threaded slider 52 is fixedly connected to the spindle 3.

[0042] As needed, the upper end of the adjusting screw 51 is equipped with a rotating handle.

[0043] By rotating the handle of the adjusting screw 51, the second threaded slider 52 is driven to move along the adjusting screw 51, thereby driving the spindle 3 to adjust its height up and down along the vertical slide groove 12 to accommodate connector housings of different sizes.

[0044] In one example, the two ends of the adjusting screw 51 are connected to the rear of the vertical plate 1 via bearing seats.

[0045] In one example, the lower section of the bearing housing located at the lower end of the adjusting screw 51 has a through mounting hole that extends from left to right, and this mounting hole is connected to the middle of the double-acting screw 41 via a bearing.

[0046] Furthermore, pressure blocks 6 are installed on the upper ends of both the fixed shaft 21 and the adjusting block 22 via clamping bolts 7.

[0047] As required, the clamping bolt 7 is a wing bolt.

[0048] One end of the pressure block 6 is provided with a mounting hole 61, and the other end is provided with a protruding pressing part 62.

[0049] By tightening the clamping bolt 7, the protruding pressing part 62 of the clamping block 6 presses the connector housing against the inside of the V-shaped block structure 2 and adheres to the front plate surface of the upright plate 1, thereby achieving stable clamping.

[0050] Example 2: A general-purpose connector housing clamping fixture, which differs from Example 1 in that the protruding pressing part 62 of the pressure block 6 is made of an elastic material such as rubber or polyurethane to adapt to the surface of connector housings of different shapes and avoid damage during clamping.

[0051] Example 3: A general-purpose connector housing clamping fixture, based on Example 1 or 2, has scales on the front sides of the left and right slide grooves 11 and the vertical slide groove 12.
