Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of jigs, and in particular to a contour tapping jig. Background Technology
[0002] In modern manufacturing, jigs, as important auxiliary tools, play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and stability of product processing and improving production efficiency. Jigs are mainly used to assist in controlling the position or movement during processing and are widely used in woodworking, metalworking, machinery, electrical control, and many other fields. However, when dealing with the processing of irregularly shaped workpieces, existing jig usage methods reveal significant limitations.
[0003] For example, in the furniture manufacturing industry, taking the tapping of irregularly shaped wooden parts as an example, traditional jigs are difficult to perfectly fit due to the irregular shapes and significant differences in outline and size of these parts. During processing, workers often need to rely on their experience to manually adjust the position of the workpiece in the jig multiple times to find the optimal machining point. Furthermore, for different irregularly shaped parts, it is necessary to frequently adjust the jig parameters, such as the angle of the positioning device and the clamping force. This series of operations is not only tedious and complex, requiring workers to possess high levels of professional skills and concentration, but is also extremely time-consuming.
[0004] Furthermore, each manual adjustment of the workpiece position and fixture parameters takes time, and the accumulated time consumption is considerable when batch processing irregularly shaped wooden parts. Moreover, manual operation is greatly affected by the subjective factors of the workers. Different workers have different levels of skill and judgment standards, making it difficult to ensure the consistency and accuracy of each adjustment, which in turn leads to unstable product quality and an increased defect rate. Utility Model Content
[0005] To reduce the tedious and inefficient manual adjustment of irregularly shaped workpieces, this utility model provides a contour tapping fixture.
[0006] This utility model provides a technical solution that adopts the following approach:
[0007] A contour tapping fixture includes a base and a positioning groove formed on the base. The positioning groove is used to place the workpiece to be processed. The positioning groove is recessed on one side of the base. The shape of the peripheral wall of the positioning groove is adapted to the shape of the side of the workpiece that contacts the bottom wall of the positioning groove. When the workpiece is placed in the positioning groove, the position of the workpiece to be tapped is directly opposite the cutting tool.
[0008] The irregularly shaped workpiece is placed in the positioning groove. The peripheral wall of the positioning groove fits against the peripheral wall of the workpiece, thus restricting the multi-directional movement of the workpiece. This makes it less likely for the workpiece to move slowly within the positioning groove, and ensures that the tapping position of the workpiece is directly aligned with the tool. The restriction of the peripheral wall of the positioning groove reduces the difficulty of adjusting the position of the workpiece and aligning the tool, making the workpiece easier to process. This is beneficial to improving the tapping speed of the workpiece and increasing the processing efficiency.
[0009] Preferably, the base is provided with a top cover, and the top cover is connected to the base by bolts. The top cover and the base are provided with corresponding bolt holes.
[0010] The top cover is bolted to the base, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of workpieces and improves loading and unloading efficiency. The bolt holes are precisely positioned to enhance connection stability and ensure the alignment accuracy between the top cover and the base. Furthermore, the top cover can be adapted to multiple workpieces. When the shape of the workpiece changes, only the base needs to be replaced, without replacing the top cover, which reduces costs and facilitates maintenance.
[0011] Preferably, the upper cover has a tapping positioning hole.
[0012] The tapping positioning holes on the top cover can accurately locate the tapping position, improve tapping accuracy and efficiency, and make the tapping position more intuitive.
[0013] Preferably, the base is provided with two positioning grooves, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base.
[0014] The two positioning slots make fuller use of the space on the base, and the symmetrical arrangement ensures that the fixture is subjected to balanced forces when the workpieces in the two positioning slots are processed at the same time. This makes full use of the fixture while protecting it and reducing the possibility of fixture damage.
[0015] Preferably, only one bolt hole is provided, and the bolt hole is located between two positioning slots.
[0016] With only one bolt hole located between the two positioning slots, the fixture structure is simplified, the processing and assembly complexity is reduced, and the number of parts and costs are decreased. At the same time, the centrally located bolt hole avoids interference with the workpieces in the two positioning slots, ensuring that the workpiece placement and processing space are not affected. Furthermore, when the workpieces are processed symmetrically in the two positioning slots, this design does not disrupt the force balance of the fixture, ensuring the stability of the fixture. It also reduces stress concentration problems caused by multiple bolt holes and extends the service life of the fixture.
[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the positioning groove is configured to correspond to the shape of the workpiece sidewall that it contacts.
[0018] When the side wall of the contact positioning groove of the workpiece is not planar, the bottom wall of the positioning groove can fit the workpiece, making the support of the positioning groove for the workpiece more stable and reducing the possibility of deformation of the workpiece under stress.
[0019] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0020] The irregularly shaped workpiece is placed in the positioning groove. The peripheral wall of the positioning groove fits against the peripheral wall of the workpiece, thus restricting the multi-directional movement of the workpiece. This makes it less likely for the workpiece to move slowly within the positioning groove, and ensures that the tapping position of the workpiece is directly aligned with the tool. The restriction of the peripheral wall of the positioning groove reduces the difficulty of adjusting the position of the workpiece and aligning the tool, making the workpiece easier to process. This is beneficial to improving the tapping speed of the workpiece and increasing the processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The two positioning slots 2 can make full use of the space on the base 1. At the same time, the symmetrical arrangement ensures that when the workpieces in the two positioning slots 2 are processed at the same time, the fixture is subjected to balanced force, which protects the fixture while making full use of it and reducing the possibility of fixture damage.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 In this embodiment, only one bolt hole 4 is provided, and the bolt hole 4 is located between the two positioning grooves 2.
[0035] With only one bolt hole 4 located between the two positioning slots 2, the fixture structure is simplified, the processing and assembly complexity is reduced, and the number of parts and costs are decreased. At the same time, the centrally located bolt hole 4 avoids interference with the workpieces in the two positioning slots 2, ensuring that the workpiece placement and processing space are not affected. Furthermore, when the workpieces are processed symmetrically in the two positioning slots 2, this setting will not disrupt the force balance of the fixture, ensuring the stability of the fixture. It can also reduce stress concentration problems caused by multiple bolt holes 4 and extend the service life of the fixture.
