Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling, specifically to a machining tooling for a grate cooler connecting plate. Background Technology
[0002] A machining center is a high-precision, high-efficiency CNC machine tool widely used in machinery manufacturing, mold making, and other fields. It achieves automated multi-process machining through computer numerical control, capable of performing various machining tasks such as milling, drilling, tapping, and boring.
[0003] Currently, the connectors used in some grate coolers are machined using a machining center. However, because one side of the connector has multiple protruding connecting clips, and the opposite side is flat, when the machining center needs to machine the flat surface, the side with the connecting clips must be placed on the machining center's worktable. The contact point between this side and the worktable is the curved surface of the connecting clips. Therefore, the machining center's worktable cannot reliably position the connector, causing the workpiece to easily wobble during machining. This workpiece wobble during machining can lead to tool breakage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a machining fixture for a grate cooler connecting plate. This machining fixture can reliably position the grate cooler connecting plate, thereby ensuring the stability of the grate cooler connecting plate during processing and protecting the cutting tools.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a machining fixture for a grate cooler connecting plate, including a base plate, a limiting member, and a positioning member. The limiting member and the positioning member are slidably connected to the base plate, the upper surface of the base plate is configured as a support surface that cooperates with the surface of the workpiece, the limiting member and the positioning member are respectively arranged in different directions of the base plate, and the limiting member and the positioning member abut against the edge of the workpiece to clamp the workpiece.
[0006] Preferably, a groove is provided at the position where the substrate mates with the connecting buckle, and the groove extends along the width direction of the substrate.
[0007] Preferably, the limiting member cooperates with the groove to limit the workpiece.
[0008] Preferably, the limiting member is provided with a first adjustment hole, and the base plate is provided with a fastening hole. The fastening bolt passes through the first adjustment hole and the fastening hole to lock the workpiece.
[0009] Preferably, the positioning element is disposed in the groove to limit the movement of the workpiece.
[0010] Preferably, the positioning element is provided with a second adjustment hole, and the base plate is provided with a fastening hole. The fastening bolt passes through the second adjustment hole and engages with the fastening hole to lock the workpiece.
[0011] Preferably, the adjustment hole is configured as an oblong hole, and the positioning hole can slide along the basic axis.
[0012] Preferably, the substrate is provided with mounting holes.
[0013] According to the above technical solution, the workpiece and the support surface of the substrate of this utility model cooperate to provide stable support for the workpiece. The support surface is set with a curved surface that conforms to the shape of the surface of the workpiece where the connecting buckle is set. When the workpiece is placed on the support surface, the position of the connecting buckle can be reliably positioned by the support surface, so that the workpiece will not tilt or sway due to the instability of the curved surface of the connecting buckle.
[0014] By setting limiters and positioning components to limit the workpiece from different directions, the workpiece and the substrate can remain relatively stable, thus preventing the workpiece from moving during processing.
[0015] Other features and advantages of this invention will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0029] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper surface" and "width direction" included in the terminology only represent the orientation of the term in its conventional use or are common terms understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the term.
[0030] See Figure 1-3 The machining fixture for the connecting plate of the grate cooler includes a base plate 1, a limiting member 3 and a positioning member 2. The limiting member 3 and the positioning member 2 are slidably connected to the base plate 1. The upper surface of the base plate 1 is set as a support surface that cooperates with the surface of the workpiece 10. The limiting member 3 and the positioning member 2 are respectively arranged in different directions of the base plate 1. The limiting member 3 and the positioning member 2 abut against the edge of the workpiece 10 to clamp the workpiece 10.
[0031] Through the implementation of the above technical solution, the workpiece 10 cooperates with the support surface of the substrate 1 to provide stable support for the workpiece 10. The support surface is provided with a curved surface that conforms to the shape of the surface of the workpiece 10 where the connecting buckle 4 is provided. When the workpiece 10 is placed on the support surface, the position of the connecting buckle 4 can be reliably positioned by the support surface, so that the workpiece 10 will not tilt or sway due to the inability of the curved surface of the connecting buckle 4 to be stably supported.
[0032] The limiting member 3 and the positioning member 2 limit the workpiece 10 from different directions, so that the workpiece 10 and the substrate 1 can remain relatively stable and avoid the workpiece moving during the processing.
[0033] In this embodiment, preferably, a groove 5 is provided at the position where the substrate 1 mates with the connecting buckle 4, and the groove 5 extends along the width direction of the substrate 1.
[0034] After the connecting buckle 4 is placed into the groove 5, the connecting buckles 4 on both sides cooperate with the bottom surface of the groove 5 to provide stable support for the workpiece 10. Moreover, the cooperation between the two sides of the groove 5 and the connecting buckle 4 ensures that the workpiece 10 will not swing after the connecting buckle 4 is placed into the groove 5, thus solving the problem of unstable support due to curved surface contact between the connecting buckle 4 and the support surface.
[0035] By setting the groove 5, the support surface does not need to be set to match the shape of the connecting buckle 4, which can reduce the processing cost of the substrate 1.
[0036] In this embodiment, preferably, the limiting member 3 cooperates with the groove 5 to limit the workpiece 10.
[0037] To facilitate the fit between the workpiece 10 and the supporting surface, the width of the groove 5 is slightly larger than the width of the connecting buckle 4. After the workpiece 10 is fitted with the supporting surface, the connecting buckle 4 can still slide slightly within the groove 5. The limiting member 3, which fits into the groove 5, ensures the stability of the relative position between the workpiece 10 and the substrate 1.
[0038] In one embodiment, the end of the limiting member 3 abuts against the workpiece 10, and the limiting member 3 applies a pushing force to the workpiece 10. Under the action of this pushing force, the connecting buckle 4 is close to one side of the groove 5. By fixing the limiting member 3 to the base plate 1, the relative positional relationship between the workpiece 10 and the base plate 1 is kept stable.
[0039] In this embodiment, preferably, the limiting member 3 is provided with a first adjustment hole 31, the base plate 1 is provided with a fastening hole 11, and the fastening bolt passes through the adjustment hole and cooperates with the fastening hole 11 to lock the workpiece 10.
[0040] When it is necessary to install workpiece 10, the limiting member 3 can be removed to facilitate the placement of workpiece 10 on the base plate 1. After the workpiece 10 is placed, the connecting buckle 4 is pushed against the side wall of the groove 5 by pushing the limiting member 3. When the limiting member 3 cannot be pushed, the fastening bolt is tightened into the fastening hole 11. The pressure of the fastening bolt on the limiting member 3 is used to fix the limiting member 3 on the base plate 1.
[0041] Preferably, the adjustment hole is set as an oblong hole. Loosening the fastening bolt can adjust the position of the limiting member 3. After the workpiece 10 is installed, the limiting member 3 can be fixed by pushing it into place and tightening the fastening bolt, which is very convenient.
[0042] In this embodiment, preferably, the positioning element 2 is disposed in the groove 5 to limit the workpiece 10.
[0043] The positioning element 2 engages with the connecting buckle 4 within the groove 5, limiting the position of the connecting buckle 4. The positioning element 2 can extend into the workpiece 10, with the extended portion positioned above the connecting buckle 4. When the positioning element 2 is fastened to the base plate 1, it applies a certain pressure to the connecting buckle 4. Under this pressure, the connecting buckle 4 maintains a fixed relative position with the base plate 1, thereby further ensuring the stability of the relative position between the workpiece 10 and the base plate 1.
[0044] In this embodiment, preferably, the positioning member 2 is provided with a second adjustment hole 21, the base plate 1 is provided with a fastening hole 11, and the fastening bolt passes through the second adjustment hole 21 and cooperates with the fastening hole 11 to lock the workpiece 10.
[0045] By tightening the fastening bolts, the positioning component 2 can be fixed to the base plate 1, ensuring the stability of the position between the positioning component 2 and the base plate 1.
[0046] In this embodiment, preferably, the second adjustment hole 21 is set as an oblong hole, and the positioning member 2 can slide along the substrate 1 under the action of the oblong hole until the fastening bolt is tightened.
[0047] In this embodiment, preferably, the substrate 1 is provided with mounting holes 12.
[0048] In one embodiment, the machining fixture can be fixed to the worktable of the machining center via the mounting hole 12. Using this machining fixture, the workpiece 10 can be kept fixed during machining, allowing the machining center to machine the surface of the workpiece 10.
[0049] In one embodiment, the machining fixture can also be fixed to the worktable of other machining tools, such as a milling cutter worktable, through the mounting hole 12. After the workpiece 10 is fixed to the machining fixture, the milling cutter can machine the surface of the workpiece 10.
[0050] Specific usage instructions for this machining fixture:
[0051] 1. Fixture installation: First, fix the substrate 1 onto the processing table through the mounting hole 12. During installation, ensure that the supporting surface of the substrate 1 matches the processing surface of the workpiece 10, and that the groove 5 is aligned with the connecting buckle 4 of the workpiece 10.
[0052] 2. Place the workpiece: Place the grate cooler connecting plate workpiece 10 on the support surface of the base plate 1, so that the connecting buckle 4 of the workpiece 10 is embedded in the groove 5, thus initially achieving the positioning of the workpiece.
[0053] Adjusting the limiting and positioning components: Based on the actual dimensions of the workpiece, slide the limiting component 3 and the positioning component 2 so that the limiting component 3 abuts against the edge of the workpiece, and the positioning component 2 cooperates with the connecting buckle 4 to further limit the workpiece 10. By adjusting the positions of the limiting component 3 and the positioning component 2, ensure that the limiting component 3 and the positioning component 2 can fit tightly against the workpiece 10, thereby improving the positioning accuracy.
[0054] 3. Locking the workpiece: The fastening bolts pass through the first adjustment hole 31 and the second adjustment hole 21, and engage with the fastening hole 11 on the base plate 1. By tightening the fastening bolts, the workpiece 10 is firmly fixed on the machining fixture. At this time, the workpiece will not shake during the machining process, ensuring the stability of the machining.
