Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0018] according to Figure 1 , 2As shown, this solution provides a car air intake volute straightening machine, including a base plate 1. On the base plate 1, there is a straightening cylinder bracket 2, a product positioning fixture, and a product clamping assembly. The straightening cylinder bracket 2 is fixedly equipped with an X-axis straightening cylinder assembly and a Y-axis straightening cylinder assembly. The piston rods of the X-axis and Y-axis straightening cylinder assemblies extend horizontally and perpendicularly to each other. The product positioning fixture allows for preliminary product inspection and is used to place and position the product to be corrected. The product clamping assembly fixes the product in position. The X-axis and Y-axis straightening cylinder assemblies correct the product's shape from two mutually perpendicular directions. By setting fixed correction parameters, the consistency of the corrected product can be ensured, facilitating subsequent processes.

[0019] Specifically, the straightening cylinder bracket 2 includes four columns fixedly mounted on the base plate 1. A platform is fixedly mounted on the top of the four columns, and the X-axis straightening cylinder assembly and the Y-axis straightening cylinder assembly are mounted on the platform. A control box is placed on the platform, and a PLC automatic control device is installed in the control box for electrical automatic control. The straightening machine extends the cylinders in the X and Y directions to straighten the parts of the product that need to be straightened, and the program will retract the X and Y cylinders according to the settings.

[0020] The X-axis correction cylinder assembly includes an X-axis correction cylinder 13 and an X-axis pressure block 14. The X-axis correction cylinder 13 is horizontally fixed on the correction cylinder bracket 2. The X-axis pressure block 14 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the X-axis correction cylinder 13. An X-axis push rod 15 is also fixedly provided on the X-axis pressure block 14.

[0021] The Y-axis correction cylinder assembly includes a Y-axis correction cylinder 16 and a Y-axis push block 17. The Y-axis correction cylinder 16 is horizontally fixed on the correction cylinder bracket 2, and the Y-axis pressure block is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the Y-axis correction cylinder 16.

[0022] The X-axis straightening cylinder assembly and 16 sets of Y-axis straightening cylinders are used together to simultaneously limit and correct the shape of the product's slender protrusions.

[0023] In this embodiment, the product positioning fixture includes a base 3 and a fixture positioning block 4. The base 3 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 1, and the fixture positioning block 4 is fixedly mounted on the base 3. The fixture positioning block 4 is provided with a positioning inclined surface 5, a positioning groove 6, and a stop block 7. The fixture positioning block 4 not only positions the product but also serves as a fixture for preliminary inspection, ensuring product quality.

[0024] In this embodiment, the product clamping assembly includes a clamping cylinder 8, a connecting push plate 9, and a clamping module. The clamping cylinder 8 is horizontally fixed by a clamping cylinder 8 bracket, and the clamping module is fixedly mounted on the connecting push plate 9. The connecting push plate 9 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 8, and the clamping module is adapted to the shape of the product positioning fixture.

[0025] The clamping module includes a first clamping block 10 and a second clamping block 11. A receiving groove is provided between the first clamping block 10 and the second clamping block 11. A third clamping block 12 is provided at the bottom of the receiving groove. The two ends of the third clamping block 12 are fixedly connected to the first clamping block 10 and the second clamping block 11, respectively. There is a gap between the first clamping block 10, the second clamping block 11, and the third clamping block 12 and the positioning inclined surface 5 to accommodate the edge of the product. The shape of the clamping blocks is designed according to the shape of the product's internal cavity.

[0026] In this embodiment, a positioning block group 18 is also provided on the base plate 1 near the outer end of the product positioning fixture. The positioning block group 18 includes multiple positioning blocks. In this solution, there are two positioning blocks, which are used to limit and position the outer edge of the product.

The main body of the automotive fresh air intake volute 100 is positioned on the positioning inclined surface 5 and within the positioning groove 6 of the product positioning fixture, with one end limited by the stop block 7. The volute portion of the product is fixed and limited by the two positioning blocks of the positioning block. Activating the clamping cylinder 8 causes the first clamping block 10, the second clamping block 11, and the third clamping block 12 on the clamping module to enter the inner cavity of the product, cooperating with the fixture positioning block 4 to fix the main body of the product. Activating the X-axis straightening cylinder 13 and the Y-axis straightening cylinder 16 applies external force to the slender protruding part 101 of the product for shape straightening. After straightening, the X-axis straightening cylinder 13, the Y-axis straightening cylinder 16, and the clamping cylinder 8 are retracted, and the part can be removed.
