[0010] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model.

[0011] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0012] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a milling fixture for the upper and lower surfaces of various types of cylinder heads, comprising:

[0013] The base 1 has multiple positioning holes and mounting holes; the positioning component 2 is installed in the positioning holes of the base 1 and is used to position the cylinder head placed on the base 1; the clamping component 3 is installed in the mounting holes of the base 1 and is distributed on both sides of the base 1 and is used to press and fix the cylinder head.

[0014] The base 1 is the basic component of the entire fixture. Its upper surface is provided with multiple positioning holes and mounting holes for installing the positioning component 2 and the clamping component 3. When clamping the cylinder head, the positioning component 2 is installed at different positioning holes on the base 1 according to different types of cylinder heads. Then, the positioning reference surface of the cylinder head is aligned with the positioning component 2 and placed on the base 1. The clamping component 3 is then opened to clamp and fix the cylinder head.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the positioning component 2 includes: a positioning block 21, on which a bolt 22 threadedly connects to a positioning hole on the base 1 passes. The bolt 22 is used to fix the positioning block 21 to the base 1. The positioning block 21 can be fixed at different positioning holes by the bolt to adapt to different cylinder heads. The positioning block 21 is provided with a positioning surface, which cooperates with the cylinder head reference surface to achieve precise positioning of the cylinder head.

[0016] The positioning block 21 is connected to the base 1 by bolts 22. The position of the positioning block 21 on the base 1 can be adjusted according to the size and positioning requirements of different types of cylinder heads. Each positioning block 21 is provided with a positioning surface for contacting the positioning reference surface of the cylinder head to achieve precise positioning of the cylinder head. Specifically, according to the size and positioning requirements of different types of cylinder heads, the positioning block 21 is fixed in the designated positioning hole by bolts 22, and then the positioning reference surface of the cylinder head is aligned with the positioning block 21 and placed in.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the clamping assembly 3 includes: a hydraulic cylinder 31, which is fixedly installed on both sides of the base 1, and a piston rod 32 is installed on the hydraulic cylinder 31. The hydraulic cylinder 31 is used to drive the piston rod 32 to rise or fall; a connecting arm 33, which is connected to the piston rod 32, and a pressure plate 34 is slidably connected to the connecting arm 33. The pressure plate 34 has a sliding opening; a guide post 35, which is fixedly installed on the base 1, and the pressure plate 34 is sleeved on the guide post 35 through the sliding opening. A tightening nut 36 and a double-ended threaded sleeve 37 are threadedly connected to the guide post 35. The tightening nut 36 is used to limit the pressure plate 34; a buffer spring 38, whose two ends are respectively close to the pressure plate 34 and the double-ended threaded sleeve 37. The double-ended threaded sleeve 37 is used to adjust the buffering force of the buffer spring 38; and an elastic pad 39, which is set on the lower surface of the pressure plate 34 to prevent the surface from being damaged during the cylinder head clamping process.

[0018] The pressure plate 34 is connected to the piston rod 32 of the hydraulic cylinder 31 via the connecting arm 33. The hydraulic cylinder 31 is installed on the side of the base 1. By controlling the extension and retraction of the piston rod 32 on the hydraulic cylinder 31, the pressure plate 34 is driven to clamp and release the cylinder head. The elastic pad 39 on the lower surface of the pressure plate 34 can prevent the cylinder head surface from being crushed during the clamping process. The design of the tightening nut 36 can limit the pressure plate 34. Rotating the double-ended threaded sleeve 37 can control the movement of the controller on the guide post 35, thereby adjusting the buffering force of the buffer spring 38.

[0019] In summary, when using this multi-variety cylinder head upper and lower surface milling fixture, firstly, adjust the position of the positioning block 21 on the base 1 according to the type of cylinder head to be machined, so that the positioning surface of the positioning block 21 matches the positioning reference surface of the cylinder head. Then, place the cylinder head on the fixture, so that the cylinder head contacts the positioning surface of the positioning block 21. Next, start the hydraulic cylinder 31. The hydraulic cylinder 31 drives the pressure plate 34 downward through the piston rod 32 and the connecting arm 33. The pressure plate 34 clamps the cylinder head onto the base 1 through the elastic washer 39. After clamping, the upper and lower surfaces of the cylinder head can be milled. After machining, control the piston rod 32 to retract through the hydraulic cylinder 31, and the pressure plate 34 will release, allowing the machined cylinder head to be removed.

[0020] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
