Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of honing fixture technology, specifically a positioning and clamping device for a crankcase honing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the current crankcase machining process, in order to polish the inner wall of the crankshaft bore and improve the accuracy and surface quality of the bore, a honing machine is generally used. This honing machine is mainly used to polish the inner wall of the bore. It uses the rotation and reciprocating motion of the honing head in the bore, combined with the honing stone, to perform micro-cutting and grinding on the bore wall, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the accuracy and surface quality of the bore.

[0003] However, crankcases are usually irregularly shaped, and the positioning fixtures commonly used on honing machines are usually in a fixed position, making it difficult to correspond with the few smooth surfaces on the irregularly shaped crankcase. Consequently, reliable clamping and positioning cannot be achieved. Furthermore, after positioning, the crankshaft holes on the crankcase are difficult to align vertically with the honing head. It is also necessary to adjust the positioning of the entire positioning fixture on the X and Y axes after fixing the crankcase, which is quite inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new positioning and clamping device for crankcase honing machines to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-5This utility model provides a positioning and clamping device for a crankcase honing machine, comprising: an inverted U-shaped honing positioning table 1, on the bottom of which two mounting plates are fixedly installed, each with two mounting holes for installation on a honing machine grinding station; a through hole 2 coaxial with the honing head on the inverted U-shaped honing positioning table 1; and telescopic cylinders 3 fixedly installed on the outer walls of both sides of the inverted U-shaped honing positioning table 1, with each telescopic cylinder 3 having an output shaft... Two push-up folding plates 4 are fixedly installed. Each of the two push-up folding plates 4 has a socket 5 fixedly installed at one end close to the other. Each socket 5 has a dovetail groove 6, and a dovetail block 7 is slidably inserted into each dovetail groove 6. A connecting boss 8 is fixedly installed on one side of each dovetail block 7 close to the other, and a clamping piece 9 is fixedly installed on one side of each connecting boss 8 close to the other. Through the sliding insertion design between the dovetail block 7 and the dovetail groove 6, the longitudinal position of the clamping piece 9 is adjustable, allowing for quick alignment with the smooth surface of the crankcase. This achieves reliable clamping. The clamping plate 9 has a suitable length, allowing it to contact a small, smooth surface for clamping. Rodless cylinders 15 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the inverted U-shaped honing positioning table 1. Lifting levers 16 are fixedly installed on the sliders of both rodless cylinders 15. A single-opening frame 17 is fixedly installed at the top of both lifting levers 16. The opening of the single-opening frame 17 faces upwards, and a bidirectional threaded rod 18 is rotatably installed inside the single-opening frame 17. A servo motor is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 18. Two transverse sliders 19 are threaded on the bidirectional threaded rod 18. In order to provide guidance for the transverse linear motion of the transverse sliders 19, two transverse single bars are fixedly installed inside the single-port frame 17. The two transverse single bars pass through the two transverse sliders 19 and are slidably connected to the two transverse sliders 19. Correction rods 20 are fixedly installed on the top of the two transverse sliders 19. The two correction rods 20 are located directly below the through hole 2.

[0022] In the above method, in order to relieve the gravity on the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 3, support bars are fixedly installed on both outer walls of the inverted U-shaped honing positioning table 1. The two support bars pass through the two push-up folding plates 4 respectively and are slidably connected to the corresponding push-up folding plates 4.

[0023] In this method, in order to position the adjusted connecting boss 8, multiple tightly connected interchangeable countersunk holes 10 are provided on the top of both sockets 5. Hollow brackets 11 are fixedly installed on both connecting bosses 8. Tightening bolts 12 are threaded on the top of both hollow brackets 11. Linkage bars 13 are rotatably installed on the bottom of both tightening bolts 12. Positioning plugs 14 are fixedly installed on the bottom of both linkage bars 13. The bottom of the two positioning plugs 14 are respectively inserted into the corresponding interchangeable countersunk holes 10. By using the insertion method of positioning plugs 14 and interchangeable countersunk holes 10, the connecting boss 8 is reliably positioned, and the linkage bars 13 are in contact with the inner wall of the hollow brackets 11 so that the linkage bars 13 will not rotate.

[0024] In this method, in order to provide good support for the telescopic cylinder 3, diagonal braces are fixedly installed on both outer walls of the inverted U-shaped honing positioning table 1, and the tops of the two diagonal braces are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the two telescopic cylinders 3 respectively.

[0025] The working principle of the positioning and clamping device for crankcase honing machine provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0026] When the crankcase needs to be positioned and clamped, first place the crankcase on the top of the inverted U-shaped honing positioning table 1, and make the crankshaft hole on it roughly correspond to the through hole 2 vertically. Then start the rodless cylinder 15, and the slider on it raises the single-port frame 17, so that the two correction rods 20 pass through the through hole 2 and the crankshaft hole on the crankcase. Then, start the servo motor in the forward direction, and its output shaft drives the bidirectional threaded rod 18 to rotate. The two transverse sliders 19 move away from each other. During the movement, the correction rods 20 gradually approach the inner wall of the crankshaft hole. When both correction rods 20 touch the inner wall of the crankshaft hole, turn off the servo motor. At this time, the crankshaft hole corresponds vertically to the honing head above it.

[0027] Next, visually observe the location of the few smooth surfaces in the crankcase, and then adjust the positions of the two clamping plates 9 according to the location. When adjusting, first adjust one of the clamping plates 9, and rotate the corresponding tightening bolt 12 in the opposite direction to make the linkage bar 13 lift up with the positioning plug 14, and finally bring the positioning plug 14 out of the corresponding replacement countersunk hole 10. Then, move the clamping plate 9 longitudinally. At this time, observe the positional relationship between the clamping plate 9 and the smooth surface on one side of the crankcase. When the two are horizontally aligned, slightly adjust the position of the clamping plate 9 so that the positioning plug 14 corresponds vertically with the closest or most suitable replacement countersunk hole 10. Then rotate the corresponding tightening bolt 12 in the forward direction to bring the corresponding positioning plug 14 into the replacement countersunk hole 10. Then adjust the position of the other clamping plate 9 in the same way.

[0028] After all adjustments are completed, activate the two telescopic cylinders 3. The output shafts of the two telescopic cylinders 3 extend and finally bring the two clamping plates 9 to contact the smooth surface of the crankcase, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping. Thus, the positioning and clamping of the crankcase is completed.

[0029] Furthermore, during the subsequent polishing process, after each polishing cycle, the inside of the single-port frame 17 can be blown clean by air gun to remove debris and coolant.

[0030] Compared with related technologies, the positioning and clamping device for crankcase honing machines provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0031] This invention uses two correction rods 20 to adjust the crankshaft hole on the crankcase to a position corresponding to the upper and lower positions of the honing head, thereby quickly completing the correction of the crankshaft hole. Furthermore, the longitudinally adjustable connecting boss 8 allows for adjustment of the longitudinal position of the clamping plate 9, enabling it to be quickly adjusted to align with the smooth surface of the crankcase, thus reliably clamping the crankcase. The longitudinal sliding adjustment method also makes this fixture suitable for grinding crankcases of various shapes.
