Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to fixtures for positioning and machining oblique holes in mechanical products, and more particularly to a fixture for positioning and machining oblique holes in valve bodies. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the field of mechanical manufacturing, some products often have oblique holes on a certain plane that need to be machined. These oblique holes have different angles, and their directions are not all in the same direction at the same time. For example, a valve body part in an automotive braking system requires many hydraulic flow channels to meet its functional requirements. Due to the compact structure and numerous flow channels, oblique holes are needed to connect the flow channels to ensure that they are identical. Due to the characteristics of oblique holes and the conditions of the machining equipment, when machining with a three-axis machining center or a bench drill, it is necessary to design a positioning and clamping fixture that can adapt to oblique holes of different angles and directions. This fixture can be used for positioning and clamping when machining oblique holes on a plane. When a product has oblique holes of different directions or angles that need to be machined on a plane, this fixture can be used for indexing and positioning, and then the machining center or bench drill can be used to machine the holes. Summary of the Invention

The second locking bolt 302 is threaded into the threaded hole of the second pin 301 from the outside through the second washer 303. After the indexing rotating plate 5 and the indexing plate 6 are fixed in position with the long locating pin 9, the second locking bolt 302 is tightened, and the second pin 301 and the second washer 303 lock the indexing rotating plate 5 and the indexing plate 6, thereby completing the indexing positioning.

The two diamond-shaped positioning pins 805 are respectively installed on the positioning plate body 804 for positioning the workpiece.
[0041] See Figure 1 The indexing rotating plate 5 and the rotating plate 201 are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting plate 10 on both sides.
[0042] Working principle:
[0043] The method of using this fixture is described using a valve body workpiece 11 of a certain model as an example. (See also...) Figure 11 The valve body component 11 is a simplified schematic structure, see [reference]. Figure 12 There is a 6° oblique hole 1103 on the upper surface 1105 of workpiece 11 (see...) Figure 14 ) and 20° inclined hole 1104 (see Figure 13 To machine this angled hole, drilling must be performed on a vertical machining center (or using a drilling machine with a locating drill bushing). Therefore, the angled hole must be in a vertical position before machining. See also... Figure 15 There are two positioning holes 1101 on the lower surface 1102 of workpiece 11.
[0044] Assuming the initial state of each indexing line during fixture adjustment is arbitrary, first pull out the long locating pin 9 and the short locating pin 807, loosen the locking bolts 302 and 806, align the two locating holes 1101 on the workpiece 11 with the two diamond-shaped locating pins 805 on the locating plate 8, and install the workpiece 11 on the locating plate 8. Figure 16 At the indicated positions, the short locating pin 807 is inserted into the corresponding locating hole 801 on the locating plate 8 and the locating hole 702 on the rotating base plate. The locating plate 8 is then locked to the rotating base plate 7 using bolts 806. The workpiece 11 is clamped using long bolts 403 through the pressure plate 402 and the locking plate 401.
[0045] Then, manually rotate the indexing rotating plate 5 to align the reference scale line 603 on the indexing plate 6 with the scale line U in the indexing line 502 on the indexing rotating plate 5. The indexing rotating plate 5 rotates the workpiece by 20°. Insert the long locating pin 9 into the F hole in the indexing locating hole 601 on the indexing plate 6 and the U hole in the locating hole 501 on the indexing rotating plate 5. Tighten the locking bolt 302. See below. Figure 17 , 18 With the 20° angled hole in a vertical position, the 1104 angled hole can now be machined.
[0046] When machining a 6° inclined hole 1103, first pull out the long locating pin 9 and the short locating pin 807, loosen the locking bolts 302 and 806, rotate the locating plate 8, and rotate the workpiece 10 together by 90° so that the workpiece 10 is in the correct position. Figure 19 Positioning: Insert the short positioning pin 807 into the positioning hole 3 801 on the corresponding positioning plate 8 and the positioning hole 1 702 on the rotating base plate. Use bolts 806 to lock the positioning plate 8 to the rotating base plate 7. Use long bolts 403 to clamp the workpiece 11 through the pressure plate 402 and the locking plate 401.
[0047] Then, manually rotate the indexing rotating plate 5 to align the engraving line T on the indexing rotating plate 5 with the reference engraving line 603 on the indexing plate 6. Then rotate the indexing rotating plate 5 in the opposite direction to align the N hole on the indexing rotating plate 5 with the B hole on the indexing plate 6. In this way, the indexing rotating plate 5 actually drives the workpiece to rotate 6°, insert the long positioning pin 9, and lock the locking bolt 302. The 6° inclined hole 1103 is in a vertical position and can be machined into an inclined hole.
[0048] Similarly, when there are oblique holes of other angles machined on the surface of valve body parts, this method can be used to adjust the indexing and positioning to meet the needs of clamping, positioning or production processing.
