Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shift fork manufacturing technology, specifically a clamping mechanism for shift fork manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] As a core actuator in transmission systems such as gearboxes and transmissions, shift forks are widely used in automobiles, construction machinery, and various industrial equipment. Their main function is to shift power by engaging synchronizers or sliding gears during gear changes. In the mass production of shift forks, multiple precision machining, heat treatment, surface treatment, and final assembly processes are required. Efficiently and accurately transferring shift fork workpieces between different workstations or equipment is crucial for ensuring production cycle time and product quality. This process relies on reliable clamping mechanisms for holding and securing the workpiece.

[0003] One of the most significant characteristics of shift fork structures is that their working ends are typically designed in a cylindrical shape to engage with shift levers or synchronizer sleeves. This structural feature causes the main body of the shift fork to naturally tilt when placed horizontally due to the offset of the support point at the cylindrical end. Existing common clamping components struggle to adapt to changes in tilt angle during use, easily leading to workpiece loosening, vibration, or positioning errors during machining or transfer. Secondly, they suffer from poor dimensional compatibility. Key dimensions such as the outer diameter of the shift fork cylinder, the width of the fork arm, and the overall length vary considerably depending on application requirements. Traditional clamps lack convenient and effective dimensional adjustment mechanisms, making it difficult to quickly adapt to the stable clamping of workpieces of different specifications.

[0004] Based on this, a clamping mechanism for producing shift forks is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content

[0026] One end of the sliding rod 14 is fixedly provided with a first fixing plate, and a first rack 17 is fixedly provided on the first fixing plate. A first gear 18 is meshed on the first rack 17. Both ends of the first gear 18 are rotatably disposed in the rotating holes inside the first fixing box 16. One end of the rotating shaft of the first gear 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 32. The first motor 32 is fixedly disposed on one side of the first fixing box 16. In use, when it is necessary to clamp the shift fork body 40, one end of the first fixing tube 11 is moved into the end through hole of the shift fork body 40. Then, the first motor 32 is started, and the output end of the first motor 32 drives the first gear 18 to rotate. The first gear 18 meshes with the first rack 17 and drives the sliding rod 14 to move. The sliding rod 14 slides inside the first fixing tube 11. The sliding rod 14 drives the clamping plate 12 to slide through the connecting rod 13, so that the outer side of the clamping plate 12 is in close contact with the inner side of the end through hole of the shift fork body 40, thereby fixing the shift fork body 40.

A rotating plate is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft at one end of the second gear 26. The rotating plate is fixedly mounted inside the adjusting tube 28. In use, when it is necessary to clamp the shift fork body 40, the first fixed tube 11 is inserted into the shift fork body. One end of the body 40 is inserted into the hole, and the clamping seat 19 moves to the other end of the shift fork body 40. Then, when the output end of the first motor 32 rotates, the first rack 17 and the first gear 18 cooperate to drive the clamping plate 12 to move. The clamping plate 12 clamps and fixes one end of the shift fork body 40. At the same time, when the first gear 18 rotates, it drives the fixed shaft 29 to rotate. The fixed shaft 29 drives the outer spline shaft 30 to rotate. The outer spline shaft 30 drives the second gear 26 to rotate through the inner spline shaft 31. The second gear 26 meshes with the two second racks 25, so that the second racks 25 drive the sliding seat 23 to slide inside the second fixed tube 24. The sliding seat 23 drives the clamping seat 19 to slide, so that the clamping seat 19 can clamp the other end of the shift fork body 40.

One end of the mounting rod 34 is slidably provided with a fixed slide rod, which is fixedly disposed inside the guide groove rod 36. In use, when it is necessary to adjust the working height of the first fixed tube 11, the control component 39 controls the third motor 38 to start. The third motor 38 drives the threaded rod 37 to rotate. Under the action of the thread, the mounting rod 34 moves along the length direction of the guide groove rod 36, thereby driving the first fixed tube 11 and the clamping seat 19 to move.

[0031] The third fixing tube 27 is provided with several second adjustment holes, which facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the first fixing tube 11 and the clamping seat 19 during use.

[0032] The above embodiment discloses a clamping mechanism for shift fork production. When the shift fork body 40 needs to be clamped, one end of the first fixing tube 11 moves into the end hole of the shift fork body 40. Then, the first motor 32 is started. The output end of the first motor 32 drives the first gear 18 to rotate. The first gear 18 meshes with the first rack 17, driving the sliding rod 14 to move. The sliding rod 14 slides inside the first fixing tube 11. The sliding rod 14 drives the clamping plate 12 to slide via the connecting rod 13, so that the outer side of the clamping plate 12 is tightly against the inner side of the end hole of the shift fork body 40, thus fixing the shift fork body 40. Simultaneously, the clamping seat 19 moves to the other end of the shift fork body 40. Then, when the first motor 32 outputs... When the output end rotates, the first rack 17 and the first gear 18 cooperate to drive the clamping plate 12 to move. The clamping plate 12 clamps and fixes one end of the shift fork body 40. At the same time, when the first gear 18 rotates, it drives the fixed shaft 29 to rotate. The fixed shaft 29 drives the outer spline shaft 30 to rotate. The outer spline shaft 30 drives the second gear 26 to rotate through the inner spline shaft 31. The second gear 26 meshes with the two second racks 25, so that the second racks 25 drive the sliding seat 23 to slide inside the second fixed tube 24. The sliding seat 23 drives the clamping seat 19 to slide, so that the clamping seat 19 can clamp the other end of the shift fork body 40. At the same time, the clamping block 21 and the rotating block 20 can be automatically adjusted according to the shape of the end of the shift fork body 40.

[0033] When the working height of the first fixed tube 11 needs to be adjusted, the third motor 38 is started by the control component 39. The third motor 38 drives the threaded rod 37 to rotate. Under the action of the thread, the mounting rod 34 moves along the length of the guide groove rod 36, thereby driving the first fixed tube 11 and the clamping seat 19 to move. When the working angle of the first fixed tube 11 and the adjusting tube 28 needs to be adjusted, the second motor 35 is started. The output end of the second motor 35 drives the second gear to rotate. The second gear meshes with the first gear and drives the hinge seat 33 to rotate. The hinge seat 33 drives the adjusting tube 28 to rotate.
