Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] Example, refer to Figures 1-3 A jig for double-sided precision milling of engine cylinder heads includes a base 1, a rotating seat 2 rotatably connected to the top of the base 1, and a fixing bolt 3 passing through the top of the rotating seat 2. Rotation of the rotating seat 2 can drive a fixing mechanism 4 to rotate 360 degrees, facilitating adjustment of the machining angle. The fixing bolt 3 is used to fix the rotating seat 2 after the selected angle. The jig also includes: a fixing mechanism 4: the fixing mechanism 4 is disposed on the top of the rotating seat 2, and the fixing mechanism 4 can clamp and fix the engine cylinder head; and a locking mechanism 5: the locking mechanism 5 is disposed on the fixing mechanism 4, and the locking mechanism 5 can lock the fixing mechanism 4 to improve the clamping stability of the engine cylinder head.
[0022] The fixing mechanism 4 includes a fixing seat 400 on the top of the rotating seat 2. The fixing seat 400 has fixing blocks 402 on both the left and right side walls. The top of each of the two sets of fixing blocks 402 is provided with a lead screw 404. The two sets of lead screws 404 are sleeved with connecting blocks 405. The two sets of connecting blocks 405 have clamping seats 401 on opposite side walls. The top of the fixing seat 400 and the bottom of the clamping seats 401 are provided with grooves. The grooves are set in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid to accommodate engine cylinder heads of different sizes and improve the clamping effect. The inner walls of the two sets of grooves are provided with protective pads 403. The protective pads 403 are made of rubber to protect the engine cylinder head when clamping and fixing it. The outer walls of the two sets of lead screws 404 are threaded with threaded blocks 406. The top of the two sets of threaded blocks 406 is provided with a handle 407.
[0023] It should be noted that: the threaded block 406 is positioned above the connecting block 405, the connecting block 405 moves up and down on the outer wall of the lead screw 404, and the clamping seat 401 is positioned opposite to the fixed seat 400 to form a clamping space. The isosceles trapezoidal groove can fix engine cylinder heads of different sizes, and the inner wall of the groove is provided with a rubber protective pad 403 to prevent the cylinder head surface from being scratched.
[0024] The locking mechanism 5 includes a sleeve 503 on the top of the clamping seat 401. Two sets of movable plates 504 are slidably connected inside the two sets of sleeves 503. A guide groove is provided on the rear side wall of the sleeve 503. A guide block matching the guide groove is provided on the rear side wall of each set of movable plates 504. Under the action of the guide groove and the guide block, the movable plates 504 move more stably within the sleeves 503. An airbag 505 is connected to the opposite side wall of the two sets of movable plates 504. An inflation tube 506 is provided at one end of the airbag 505. Movable rods 508 are provided on the opposite side wall of each set of movable plates 504. The top of the clamping seat 401 slides... The moving connection is provided with a sliding plate 500. One end of each of the two sets of movable rods 508 passes through the left and right side walls of the sleeve 503 and is connected to the opposite side walls of the two sets of sliding plates 500. Springs 507 are sleeved on the outer walls of the two sets of movable rods 508. One end of each set of springs 507 is connected to the opposite side wall of the two sets of movable plates 504. The other end of each set of springs 507 is connected to the left and right side walls of the sleeve 503. Multiple sets of first teeth 501 are provided on the opposite side walls of the two sets of sliding plates 500. Multiple sets of second teeth 502 that mesh with the first teeth 501 are provided on the outer walls of the two sets of threaded blocks 406.
[0025] It should be noted that: by inflating the airbag 505, the movable plate 504 is moved. The movable plate 504 pushes the sliding plate 500 to move through the movable rod 508, so that the first tooth 501 and the second tooth 502 mesh, locking the threaded block 406 and preventing it from loosening due to vibration.
[0026] Working principle: Place the cylinder head that needs double-sided precision milling on the fixed seat 400, then rotate the handle 407 to drive the threaded block 407 to move on the lead screw 406. Through the connecting block 405, push the clamping seat 401 to move towards the fixed seat 400 to clamp the cylinder head. After the cylinder head is clamped, the external air compressor inflates the air bag 505 through the air inflator 506, causing the air bag 505 to expand. The expansion of the air bag 505 pushes the movable plate 504 to slide, thereby the movable rod 508 pushes the sliding plate 500 to move. The movement of the sliding plate 500 causes the first tooth 501 to mesh with the second tooth 502 on the outer side wall of the threaded block 406, locking the threaded block 406 to prevent it from loosening due to vibration and improving the clamping effect on the cylinder head.
[0027] When unlocking is required, the gas inside the airbag 505 is released through the inflation tube 506, the airbag 505 contracts, the movable plate 504 is reset under the action of the spring 507, the sliding plate 500 is also reset, the first tooth 501 and the second tooth 502 disengage, the grip 407 is rotated, the threaded block 406 moves in the opposite direction on the lead screw 404, and the clamping seat 401 releases the cylinder head.
[0028] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
