Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forging precision machining equipment, and in particular to a positioning device for forging precision machining. Background Technology

[0002] In the precision machining of forgings, accurate positioning and stable clamping of the workpiece are crucial to ensuring machining accuracy. Traditional positioning devices often employ single-point clamping or rigid fixture structures, which have the following technical drawbacks: First, the number of clamping points is limited and their positions are fixed, making it difficult to adapt to the multi-directional force requirements of irregularly shaped forgings (such as crankshafts and gear blanks), easily leading to workpiece displacement or deformation. Second, the rigid clamping block directly contacts the forging surface, lacking a buffering mechanism, and machining vibrations are easily transmitted to the workpiece surface, forming indentations, especially causing significant damage to thin-walled or high-gloss forgings. Third, adjusting the clamping position relies on manually moving the locking mechanism, requiring repeated bolt disassembly and manual calibration, which is inefficient and makes it difficult to ensure symmetry. Fourth, the positioning datum relies on external measuring tools for centering, which is complex to operate and prone to introducing human error. Fifth, the transmission mechanism (such as lead screws and guide rails) is exposed to the machining environment, and the intrusion of metal debris can easily cause movement jamming, affecting positioning accuracy and service life. Although existing improvement solutions introduce electric drive or elastic pressure head, they still have problems such as uneven distribution of clamping force, simple buffer structure (such as a single spring), and poor multi-axis synchronization.
