[0004] A CNC machining fixture for aluminum casting machine housings includes: a base plate; and a positioning assembly connected to the base plate for mounting the workpiece.

[0005] A clamping assembly, disposed outside the positioning assembly, is used to clamp the side lugs of the workpiece so as to fix the workpiece in the vertical direction;

[0006] A limiting component is connected to the base plate to fix the workpiece in the horizontal direction. The limiting component includes telescopic members respectively disposed on both sides of the positioning component, and a supporting side plate.

[0007] The positioning component includes a positioning sleeve and a positioning head that is slidably connected to the positioning sleeve and cooperates with the workpiece. The positioning sleeve has a cavity for placing an elastic element, and the positioning head is shaped like a mushroom-shaped cone.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the positioning seat is provided with a plug rod, which is threadedly connected to the base plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the positioning seat sleeve is evenly distributed with several fastening through holes.

[0010] Furthermore, the free end of the telescopic component is connected to a limit block, and support pins are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the support side plate.

[0011] Furthermore, at least four clamping assemblies are provided, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the positioning assembly. Furthermore, each clamping assembly includes a cylinder, a clamping jaw hinged to the free end of the cylinder, and a connecting rod.

[0012] mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper end of the substrate is connected to ear supports disposed on both sides of the positioning component.

[0014] Furthermore, at least one set of lifting rings is connected to the upper end of the substrate.

[0015] Furthermore, at least one pair of spring support pins are connected to the substrate.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1- Figure 6 As shown, the CNC machining fixture for aluminum casting machine housing of this utility model includes a base plate 1, a positioning component 2, a clamping component 3, and a limiting component.

[0030] Positioning component 2 is connected to base plate 1 for mounting workpiece 7;

[0031] The clamping assembly 3 is disposed outside the positioning assembly 2 and is used to clamp the side lug 70 of the workpiece 7 so as to fix the workpiece 7 in the vertical direction;

[0032] The limiting component is connected to the base plate 1 to fix the workpiece 7 in the horizontal direction. The limiting component includes telescopic members 40 respectively disposed on both sides of the positioning component 2, and a supporting side plate.

[0033] An auxiliary machining fixture was designed for a specific cast aluminum shell structure, which accurately positions the workpiece 7, ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the workpiece 7.

[0034] The positioning component 2 includes a positioning sleeve 20 and a positioning head 21 that is slidably connected to the positioning sleeve 20 and cooperates with the workpiece 7. The positioning sleeve 20 has a cavity 200 for placing an elastic element 23. The positioning head 21 is a mushroom-shaped cone. The elastic element 23 is specifically a spring.

[0035] By employing a clamping assembly 3 and a limiting assembly on the base plate 1 to restrict the longitudinal and horizontal degrees of freedom of the workpiece 7, the machining quality of the workpiece 7 is guaranteed during CNC machining. The positioning assembly 2 consists of a mutually sliding positioning sleeve 20 and a positioning head 21, which cooperate with the hole at the bottom of the workpiece 7 to prevent the workpiece 7 from shifting. Because the positioning head 21 has a mushroom-shaped conical design, when it engages with the positioning hole 71 of the workpiece 7, the elastic element 23 causes the positioning head 21 to float up and down, making it highly adaptable to different sizes of the inner diameter of the positioning hole 71 of the workpiece 7, and ensuring accurate positioning.

[0036] The positioning sleeve 20 has a plug-in rod 201 at its bottom. The positioning sleeve 20 is detachable and is threadedly connected to the base plate 1 via the plug-in rod 201.

[0037] To further enhance the stability of both, several fastening through holes 202 are evenly distributed on the positioning seat sleeve 20, which can be fastened with screws.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1, the free end of the telescopic component 40 is connected to a limiting block 400, and support pins 410 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the support side plate 41. The telescopic component 40 can be a telescopic cylinder. Under the action of the telescopic cylinder, the limiting block 400 moves toward the side ear 70 of the workpiece 7, clamping the workpiece 7 and restricting the horizontal degree of freedom of the workpiece 7.

[0039] In this embodiment, four clamping components 3 are provided and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the positioning component 2. More clamping components 3 can also be provided.

[0040] The clamping assembly 3 includes a cylinder, a clamping claw 30 hinged to the free end of the cylinder, and a linkage mechanism 31. The clamping claw 30, under the action of the connecting mechanism and the cylinder, rotates and abuts against the upper end of the side lug 70. This direct clamping of the side lug 70 ensures greater stability of the workpiece 7 during the drilling process.

[0041] This fixture not only includes the positioning component 2, but also has ear supports 5 connected to the upper end of the base plate 1, which are arranged on both sides of the positioning component 2. The two ear supports 5, together with the positioning component 2, form a support at least three points, so that the workpiece 7 is prevented from tilting and shaking during processing. After the workpiece 7 is placed, the side ears 70 are in contact with the upper end of the ear supports 5.

[0042] At least one set of lifting rings 10 is also connected to the upper end of the substrate 1. The purpose of setting the lifting rings 10 is to facilitate the movement of the tooling, and the multiple lifting rings 10 can ensure the smoothness of the movement.

[0043] In addition, at least one pair of spring support pins 6 are connected to the base plate 1. Since the workpiece 7 is an aluminum housing, such as a gearbox housing or a motorcycle chain guard, and due to its irregular shape, it requires support pins 6 for maintenance during processing.

[0044] For stability, a spring support pin 6 is installed at the part of the workpiece 7 that is suspended in the air to provide support force. The spring support pin 6 can adapt to the height of the workpiece 7 within a certain range.

[0045] The aforementioned clamping component 3 is prior art. For specific structure and connection methods, please refer to the technical solutions mentioned in existing relevant technical documents. The aforementioned structure is not within the protection scope of this application.

[0046] The above connection method can be implemented using existing technology and is easy to implement. It is not within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, it has at least the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solution of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known structures and characteristics are not described in detail here. Those skilled in the art are aware of all common technical knowledge in the field prior to the application date or priority date, are aware of all existing technologies in that field, and have the ability to apply conventional experimental methods prior to that date. Those skilled in the art can, based on the guidance provided in this application, improve and implement this solution in combination with their own capabilities. Some typical known structures or methods should not be obstacles for those skilled in the art to implement this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model. These should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
