Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining fixture technology, and in particular to an internal expansion collet for machining differential housings. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component of the automotive transmission system, the differential plays a crucial role in vehicle operation. It enables the left and right (or front and rear) drive wheels to rotate at different speeds, thus meeting the power transmission needs of the vehicle during cornering and other driving conditions. The differential housing, as a vital component of the differential, directly affects the overall performance and reliability of the differential due to its machining quality. Reliable clamping is fundamental to ensuring machining accuracy during the differential housing machining process. Currently, a wide variety of fixtures are used in the field of differential housing machining, but several problems still need to be addressed.
[0003] Existing chucks for machining differential housings are not convenient for providing stable clamping of the differential housing during use. They are prone to loosening, which can lead to machining errors and reduce machining accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that existing chucks for machining differential housings are not convenient to provide stable clamping for the differential housing during use, and are prone to machining errors due to loosening of the chuck, which in turn leads to a reduction in machining accuracy. Therefore, an internal expansion collet chuck for machining differential housings is proposed.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an internal expansion collet for machining a differential housing, comprising an internal expansion collet assembly, the internal expansion collet assembly comprising a support base, a shaft penetrating through the interior of the support base, a mounting ring connected to one end of the shaft, a collet mounted on the side of the mounting ring, and multiple mounting holes formed inside the mounting ring.
[0006] Preferably, the side of the support base is provided with an internal expansion structure, and a transmission belt is connected to the outer side of the shaft.
[0007] Preferably, one end of the transmission belt is wound with an electric motor, and the electric motor is connected to the support base.
[0008] Preferably, the support base is provided with multiple heat dissipation fins.
[0009] Preferably, a connecting bushing is installed at one end of the support base, and the connecting bushing is located on the outside of the shaft.
[0010] Preferably, the support base has multiple bolt holes.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. In this utility model, by aligning the collet with the inner hole of the differential housing and inserting it, and then working through the internal expansion structure, rapid expansion and fixing can be achieved. This facilitates the fixed clamping of the differential housing, effectively avoids workpiece deformation caused by uneven clamping force, and improves the machining accuracy of the differential housing. At the same time, by adjusting the degree of expansion, it is easy to adapt to various differential housings with different inner diameters, reducing the purchase cost of fixtures. It also improves the flexibility of the collet's use, enabling quick switching to process different models of differential housings, meeting diverse production needs. Furthermore, the entire process is simple to operate and short in time, which helps to improve overall production efficiency and reduce production costs.
[0013] 2. In this utility model, the mounting hole facilitates the installation of the collet on the shaft, which is beneficial for the installation and disassembly of the collet, and thus facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the collet. Attached Figure Description
