Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a tooling for a multi-station vertical machining center with precise positioning and rapid clamping for milling, drilling, and boring. It is suitable for simultaneously fixing multiple workpieces for efficient milling, drilling, and boring, and belongs to the field of mechanical processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional vertical machining centers typically require individual workpiece clamping for multi-part milling, drilling, and boring operations, resulting in low efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing positioning accuracy. Ordinary tooling suffers from insufficient rigidity and large repeatability errors, leading to inconsistent machining quality. Existing clamping devices mostly employ single-clamp structures, which struggle to ensure consistency in hole positions across multiple parts, making them unsuitable for mass production and failing to meet ever-increasing production demands. While some multi-part machining tooling exists on the market, it generally suffers from poor positioning accuracy, cumbersome clamping, and an inability to simultaneously meet the precision requirements of milling, drilling, and boring, resulting in inconsistent machining quality and high scrap rates. This significantly impacts production efficiency and increases worker workload, preventing one person from operating multiple machines and severely wasting human resources. To improve machining efficiency and ensure accuracy, there is an urgent need for auxiliary tooling capable of simultaneously drilling multiple distributors. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a tooling for a precise positioning and quick clamping multi-station vertical machining center for milling, drilling and boring, which includes a base plate with multiple pairs of fastening components on the base plate, and each fastening component has an internal hole expansion clamp.

[0005] Preferably, the fastening assembly is connected to the base plate by countersunk screws.

[0006] Preferably, one of each pair of fastening components is connected to the positioning block via a positioning plate, and the other is connected to the positioning plate via a positioning pin and a nut.

[0007] More preferably, the positioning plate is connected to the positioning block by a screw and cylindrical pins on both sides.

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning plate is provided with an elongated hole for connecting with the positioning block.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning block is connected to the positioning plate by two screws.

[0021] Example

[0022] like Figure 1-2As shown, this utility model provides a precision positioning and rapid clamping multi-station vertical machining center fixture for milling, drilling, and boring. It includes a base plate 1 with multiple pairs of fastening components on it, each containing an internal expansion clamp 2. The fastening components are connected to the base plate 1 via countersunk screws 3. The multiple pairs of fastening components form a multi-station positioning structure. The base plate 1 is made of 40Cr material and has standardized mounting holes on its surface for connection to the machining center's worktable. The internal expansion clamp 2 is an assembly installed in the workpiece's inner hole, achieving rapid clamping and release through expansion force. The countersunk screws 3 and nuts 5 are selected according to GB / T819 and GB / T6170 standards for fastening connections between components, ensuring overall rigidity.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, one of each pair of fastening components is connected to the positioning block 9 via a positioning plate 6. One end of the positioning plate 6 is V-shaped, which mates with the protruding structure on the outer edge of the corresponding fastening component. The positioning plate 6 has an elongated hole for connecting to the positioning block 9, through which a screw 8 and cylindrical pins 7 on both sides connect to the positioning block 9. The other component is connected to the positioning plate 6 via a positioning pin 4 and a nut 5. The positioning pin 4 and cylindrical pins 7 are GB / T119 standard pins to ensure the radial positioning accuracy of the workpiece; the material is 40Cr to enhance wear resistance.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the positioning block 9 is connected to the positioning plate 6 by screw 10.

[0030] 5. Start the machining center and execute the milling, drilling, and boring programs to achieve simultaneous machining of multiple workpieces.

[0031] The advantages of the above-mentioned device are:
