Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning fixture technology, specifically a multi-functional positioning fixture for cutting railway passenger car parts. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of rail passenger vehicle manufacturing, the machining quality of parts directly affects the safety, reliability and operation performance of the whole vehicle. With the rapid development of the rail transportation industry, higher requirements have been put forward for the machining accuracy, production efficiency and product consistency of rail passenger vehicle parts. Positioning fixtures, as key process equipment to ensure machining quality, play a decisive role in their performance.

[0003] The existing patent with authorization announcement number "CN214771589U" discloses a positioning fixture for machining the axle box swing arm of a rail passenger car. It includes a base plate, on which horizontal positioning seats and a chuck are mounted, arranged front and rear. A positioning plate is mounted at the rear of the horizontal positioning seats, and positioning holes are provided on the positioning plate arranged in the left-right direction. The chuck's jaws face vertically upwards. First pressure plates are bolted to the left and right sides in front of the horizontal positioning seats on the base plate, with the two first pressure plates pointing towards each other. Second pressure plates are bolted to the left and right sides behind the chuck on the base plate, with the two second pressure plates pointing towards the chuck's axis. Its positioning operation is simple, time-saving, labor-saving, and has high processing efficiency. The positioning structure is robust, the processing accuracy is high, and the product qualification rate is high.

[0004] However, this device has the following shortcomings:

[0005] 1. During cutting, insufficient clamping force of the fixture can cause displacement and vibration of the parts, which not only reduces the machining accuracy, but may also cause problems such as tool damage and equipment failure. The above-mentioned device lacks the function of indicating the position of the fixture, which makes it impossible for the fixture to clamp the cutting workpiece accurately, thus reducing the cutting stability of the rail passenger car parts.

[0006] 2. When machining parts, a lot of cutting chips are generated. The chips accumulate on the machining table, which accelerates the wear of the cutting tools. They also stick to the fixture and cause gaps between the fixture and the parts, affecting the clamping effect. Therefore, the chips need to be cleaned regularly. However, the fixtures mentioned above have a single clamping function and cannot automatically clean the cutting chips, which reduces the effectiveness of use. Utility Model Content

[0031] The clamping block A24 is equipped with a dust removal component 4, which includes a suction pipe 41, a notch 42, a filter box 43, a guide pipe 44, a vacuum cleaner 45, and a filter screen 46. The suction pipe 41 is located inside the clamping block A24. One side of the clamping block A24 has multiple notches 42 that communicate with the suction pipe 41.

[0032] The clamping block B25 is provided with a positioning reminder component 5 on its top. The positioning reminder component 5 includes an indicator light 51, a groove 52, a guide groove 53, a movable block 54, a spring B55, a sleeve 56, an electrical contact A57, and an electrical contact B58. The indicator light 51 is located on the top of the clamping block B25. A groove 52 is provided on one side of the clamping block B25. A guide groove 53 is fitted on one side of the inner side of the groove 52. A movable block 54 that matches the groove 52 is provided on one side of the guide groove 53. A spring B55 is fitted on the outer side of the guide groove 53. A sleeve 56 is provided on the side of the clamping block B25 away from the groove 52.

An electrical contact B58 that mates with the electrical contact A57 is provided on one side inside the sleeve 56. The indicator light 51 can be activated to provide a reminder after the workpiece is clamped.

[0033] Working principle: When machining railcar parts, the workpiece can be placed between clamping block A24 and clamping block B25 on the top of the fixture table 1. Then, the motor is started to drive the gear to rotate. Through the meshing of the gear with the external gear ring 32, the turntable 31 can be rotated. When the turntable 31 rotates, it can drive two sets of pulleys 34 to roll along the inner side of the elliptical groove 33 under the guidance of the slide groove 21. This causes clamping blocks A24 and B25 to overcome the elastic force of spring A26 and move closer to each other to clamp and fix the workpiece. After machining the workpiece, the turntable 31 is controlled to reset. The elastic force of spring A26 can drive clamping blocks A24 and B25 to reset.

[0034] When clamping the workpiece, the movable block 54 can first contact the workpiece. During clamping, the movable block 54 can overcome the elastic force of the spring B55 and retract into the groove 52. At this time, the electrical contact A57 can contact the electrical contact B58, and the indicator light 51 will be automatically activated to remind the operator that the workpiece has been clamped. If the indicator light 51 is not activated, it means that there is a gap between the fixture and the workpiece, which can prevent the cutting stability from being affected.

[0035] During the cutting process, the vacuum cleaner 45 is started to operate. The vacuum cleaner 45 can draw airflow, which can carry the chips generated during cutting into the suction pipe 41 through the notch 42. Then, it is guided into the filter box 43 through the guide pipe 44. The chips are screened out by the filter screen 46, and the airflow can be discharged out through the exhaust pipe, which can automatically clean up the processing chips.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
