Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the technical field of machining, specifically a multi-station machining structure for new metal materials. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread application of new metallic materials in high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electronics and information technology, and medical devices, their processing quality and efficiency directly affect product performance, cost, and market competitiveness. New metallic materials typically possess high strength, high hardness, good corrosion resistance, or unique physicochemical properties, but these characteristics also present numerous challenges to the processing.
[0003] Traditional metalworking equipment often employs a single-station machining mode, meaning that only one part of the workpiece can be machined at a time. This method has significant limitations. Firstly, for complex-shaped workpieces made of new metal materials requiring multi-faceted machining, single-station machining necessitates frequent disassembly and re-clamping to adjust the machining position. This not only significantly increases machining time and labor costs but also, due to the accumulation of positioning errors during multiple clamping processes, easily leads to a decrease in workpiece machining accuracy and an increase in scrap rate. For example, in the aerospace field, some critical metal components have extremely high requirements for dimensional accuracy and surface quality; even minute errors can affect the performance and safety of the entire aircraft, and traditional single-station machining struggles to meet these stringent requirements.
[0004] On the other hand, as the manufacturing industry moves towards intelligence and automation, the market is placing higher demands on the efficiency of metal processing. Single-station processing equipment incurs significant auxiliary time during processing, such as clamping time and waiting time, resulting in low equipment utilization and an inability to meet the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency production. Furthermore, traditional processing equipment often employs relatively simple clamping methods, making it difficult to provide stable and reliable clamping forces for irregularly shaped or novel metal materials. This leads to workpiece vibration and displacement during processing, further affecting processing quality and equipment lifespan.
[0005] Therefore, developing a machining structure that can simultaneously process new metal material workpieces at multiple stations, improve processing efficiency and accuracy, and has a stable and reliable clamping function is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by researchers in this field. Utility Model Content
[0006] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-station processing structure for new metal materials to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A multi-station processing structure for a new metal material includes a mounting base. A workpiece placement platform is provided on the top of the mounting base. End processing positions are provided on the top of the mounting base and at both ends of the workpiece placement platform.

A top pressure plate is provided on the top of the mounting base and at one end of each side of the workpiece placement platform.
[0009] Preferably, a placement side platform is provided at one end of both sides of the workpiece placement table and at the bottom of the movable clamping plate, and the bottom of the movable clamping plate is slidably connected to the top of the placement side platform.

After the workpiece is fixed on the workpiece mounting table, multiple machining stations can simultaneously perform machining operations on different parts of the workpiece, avoiding the time waste caused by frequent clamping, significantly improving machining efficiency, and meeting the demand for high-efficiency machining in large-scale production.
[0017] By designing a stable and reliable workpiece clamping and fixing system, including a fixed clamping plate, a movable clamping plate, and a top pressure plate, the workpiece is clamped and fixed in all directions from multiple directions.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a multi-station processing structure for a new metal material includes a mounting base 10, a workpiece placement table 11 on the top of the mounting base 10, end processing positions 12 on the top of the mounting base 10 and at both ends of the workpiece placement table 11, side processing positions 13 on the top of the mounting base 10 and on both sides of the workpiece placement table 11, fixed clamping plates 14 on both ends of the top of the workpiece placement table 11, movable clamping plates 15 on both ends of the top of the workpiece placement table 11 and on one side of the fixed clamping plates 14, a telescopic cylinder 16 on one side wall of one end of the movable clamping plate 15, and a top pressure plate 17 on the top of the mounting base 10 and at one end of both sides of the workpiece placement table 11.
[0025] The workpiece mounting table 11 has a mounting side platform 111 at one end on both sides and at the bottom of the movable clamping plate 15. The bottom of the movable clamping plate 15 is slidably connected to the top of the mounting side platform 111.
[0026] The end machining station 12 and the side machining station 13 are specifically multi-axis machining tables.
[0027] The top end of the fixed clamping plate 14 is provided with a first groove 141, and the two fixed clamping plates 14 are located at opposite corners of the workpiece mounting table 11.
[0028] The top of the movable clamping plate 15 is provided with a second groove 151, which is symmetrically arranged with the first groove 141.
[0029] The telescopic cylinder 16 is provided with a first support rod 161 at the bottom.
[0030] The top pressure plate 17 has a second support rod 171 at the bottom, and a drive motor is provided at the top of the second support rod 171. The actuator of the drive motor is connected to the bottom of the top pressure plate 17.
[0031] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the mounting base 10 serves as the basic support component of the entire processing structure, providing a stable mounting platform for other components.
[0032] At the top of the mounting base 10, a workpiece placement table 11 is provided. The workpiece placement table 11 is used to place the new metal material workpiece a to be processed. It should be noted that the new metal material workpiece a is in the shape of a long rod, with multiple drilling and milling processes on both sides. The two ends of the new metal material workpiece a have milling, cornering, drilling and other processes. The design of the workpiece placement table 11 fully considers the placement stability of the workpiece a and the convenience of processing operations.
[0033] To enable multi-station machining of workpieces, end machining positions 12 are respectively set at the top of the mounting base 10 and at both ends of the workpiece mounting table 11, and side machining positions 13 are set at the top of the mounting base 10 and on both sides of the workpiece mounting table 11. The end machining positions 12 and side machining positions 13 are specifically multi-axis machining tables. The multi-axis machining tables have multiple independently controllable motion axes, which can perform machining operations on the workpiece from different directions and angles, such as milling, drilling, and corner cutting, greatly improving the flexibility and efficiency of machining and meeting the complex shapes and diverse machining needs of new metal materials.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the clamping and fixing system for workpiece a is used to describe the following:
[0036] To ensure the stability of workpiece a during the processing and to avoid a decrease in processing accuracy due to vibration or displacement, this embodiment designs a complete workpiece clamping and fixing system.
[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, fixed clamping plates 14 are respectively provided at both ends of the top of the workpiece mounting table 11, and the two fixed clamping plates 14 are located at opposite corners of the workpiece mounting table 11. This diagonal arrangement can apply clamping force to the workpiece from two opposite directions, initially restricting the movement of the workpiece in the horizontal plane. A first groove 141 is provided at one end of the top of the fixed clamping plate 14. The design of the first groove 141 can better fit the shape of the workpiece, increase the contact area of clamping, and improve the stability of clamping.
[0038] Movable clamping plates 15 are provided at both ends of the top of the workpiece mounting table 11 and on one side of the fixed clamping plate 14. A telescopic cylinder 16 is connected to one side wall of the movable clamping plate 15. A first support rod 161 is provided at the bottom of the telescopic cylinder 16, which provides stable support for the telescopic cylinder 16 and ensures that the telescopic cylinder 16 will not shake during operation. When it is necessary to clamp the workpiece, the telescopic cylinder 16 is activated, pushing the movable clamping plate 15 to move towards the fixed clamping plate 14, thereby clamping the workpiece. A second groove 151 is provided at the top of the movable clamping plate 15. The second groove 151 is symmetrically arranged with the first groove 141. This symmetrical design makes the clamping force evenly distributed on the workpiece, avoiding workpiece deformation due to excessive local force.
[0039] In addition, a placement side platform 111 is provided at one end of both sides of the workpiece placement table 11 and at the bottom of the movable clamping plate 15. The bottom of the movable clamping plate 15 is slidably connected to the top of the placement side platform 111. This sliding connection method enables the movable clamping plate 15 to move smoothly and accurately under the push of the telescopic cylinder 16, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the clamping action.
[0040] To further enhance the stability of the workpiece during processing, especially to prevent the workpiece from jumping due to processing force in the vertical direction, this embodiment provides a top pressure plate 17 on the top of the mounting base 10 and at one end of both sides of the workpiece mounting table 11.
[0041] The top pressure plate 17 has a second support rod 171 at its bottom, and a drive motor is located at the top of the second support rod 171. The actuator of the drive motor is connected to the bottom of the top pressure plate 17. After the workpiece is placed on the workpiece placement table 11 and initially clamped, the drive motor starts and drives the top pressure plate 17 to rotate until the top pressure plate 17 presses the top of the workpiece. In this way, the top pressure plate 17 applies pressure to the workpiece from the vertical direction, which works together with the horizontal clamping force formed by the fixed clamping plate 14 and the movable clamping plate 15 to form an all-round and stable clamping and fixing system, effectively ensuring the positional accuracy and stability of the workpiece during the processing and ensuring that the processing quality meets the requirements.
[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0043] In the actual processing, the operator first places the new metal material workpiece to be processed on the workpiece placement table 11, and then activates the telescopic cylinder 16 to move the movable clamping plate 15 toward the fixed clamping plate 14 to clamp the workpiece. Next, the drive motor of the top pressure plate 17 is driven to work, so that the top pressure plate 17 presses the top of the workpiece. After the workpiece is clamped and fixed, the multi-axis machining table of the end machining position 12 and the side machining position 13 performs machining operations on the workpiece from different directions and angles according to the preset machining program. After the machining is completed, the drive motor rotates in the opposite direction, so that the top pressure plate 17 rotates and moves away, the telescopic cylinder 16 retracts, and the movable clamping plate 15 is released, so that the operator can take out the processed workpiece.
[0044] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications made to the technical solution based on the technical concept proposed by this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
