Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fork-shaped joint production technology, specifically a special tooling fixture for drilling holes in fork-shaped joints. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, fork-shaped workpieces are often machined using CNC machine tools to make holes. During the hole-making process, fixing the Y-shaped fork section is quite difficult. Generally, a horizontal fixing method is used. After making a hole in one arm of the fork section, the fork section is flipped over, and then the other arm is made. Moreover, due to the shape and structure of the fork workpiece itself, the fork arm is easily affected by mechanical vibration during the hole-making process, resulting in a high defect rate in the punching operation. Therefore, this method does not meet the existing requirements. To address this, we propose a special tooling fixture for drilling fork sections. Utility Model Content

[0027] 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.
[0028] Example 1: This example aims to solve the problem of needing to flip the fork-shaped section during hole drilling by using a side-mounted fixing clamp for the fork-shaped section. Please refer to [link to example]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A special tooling fixture for drilling fork-shaped joints includes a fork positioning block 1. The fork positioning block 1 has at least two symmetrically arranged side V-shaped positioning grooves 10. The fork-shaped joint is positioned sideways, with its fork-shaped top placed within one of the side V-shaped positioning grooves 10. The fork-shaped top of the fork-shaped joint is restricted by the side V-shaped positioning groove 10 on the fork positioning block 1, so that when its tail is subjected to force, it will move towards the center of the side V-shaped positioning groove 10, thereby ensuring that the vertical positions of the fork-shaped arms of the fork-shaped joint coincide, facilitating one-time hole drilling. Clamping devices 3 are provided at the front ends of the two side V-shaped positioning grooves 10. A clamping device 4 is also provided between the fork positioning block 1 and the clamping device 3. The clamping device 3 is used to push the tail of the fork section. A tail positioning block 2 is also provided between the clamping device 3 and the corresponding side V-shaped positioning groove 10. The tail positioning block 2 is provided with a vertical V-shaped positioning groove 20. The clamping device 3 pushes the tail of the fork section to fix the fork section between the fork positioning block 1 and the clamping device 3. Moreover, the tail positioning block 2 with a vertical V-shaped positioning groove 20 is provided at the tail of the fork section near the pushing end of the clamping device 3, which can clamp and position the tail of the fork section.
[0029] The clamping device 3 includes a docking post 31, and a driving cylinder 30 is provided on one side of the docking post 31. The driving cylinder 30 pushes the docking post 31 to move toward the fork-shaped part. The cross-section of the docking post 31 is not smaller than the tail section of the fork-shaped part. Anti-slip texture 310 is provided on the contact surface between the docking post 31 and the fork-shaped part.
[0030] The clamping device 4 clamps and fixes the fork-shaped section onto the tail positioning block 2 and the end face positioning block 11. The clamping device 4 includes a fixing cylinder 40. The top of the fixing cylinder 40 is provided with a rotatable clamping arm 41. The clamping arm 41 rotates and moves down to clamp the fork-shaped section placed on both sides of the fixing cylinder 40. The top of the fixing cylinder 40 is also provided with a grooved positioning pad 42 for the clamping arm 41 to move down and embed. Since the outer wall of the fork-shaped section is uneven, the grooved positioning pad 42 can prevent the clamping arm 41 from sliding when it is clamped onto the fork-shaped section, thereby ensuring the clamping effect.
[0031] In this embodiment, the fork-shaped section is clamped and fixed by the fork-shaped positioning block 1 and the clamping device 3. When fixed, the fork-shaped top of the fork-shaped section is restricted by the V-shaped positioning groove 10 on the upper side of the fork-shaped positioning block 1. Therefore, after the tail is subjected to force, it will move towards the center of the side V-shaped positioning groove 10. When the clamping arm 41 moves down to clamp, the fork-shaped section slides down under force. At this time, the tail positioning block 2 with the vertical V-shaped positioning groove 20 can adjust the tail posture of the fork-shaped section, thereby ensuring that the side posture of the fork-shaped section remains vertical, so as to facilitate the hole making operation and improve the hole making accuracy.
[0032] Example 2 aims to address the problem of preventing vibration and tilting of the suspended portion of a side-standing fork-shaped joint. This example is an improvement upon Example 1. For details, please refer to [link to example]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fork-shaped positioning block 1 has several positioning holes 12 that penetrate its inner wall and extend to the side V-shaped positioning groove 10. The positioning holes 12 are provided with auxiliary support rods 120 that support the fork arm in the air in the fork-shaped section. The fork-shaped positioning block 1 is provided with a push cylinder 121 for pushing the auxiliary support rod 120 out of the positioning holes 12. The push cylinder 121 can push the auxiliary support rod 120 out of the positioning holes 12 and move it to directly below the fork arm in the air in the fork-shaped section for support. The end face structure of the extended end of the auxiliary support rod 120 is tapered. The front end of the fork-shaped positioning block 1 is provided with an end face positioning block 11 at the bottom of the fork-shaped section. The end face positioning block 11 is provided with a working groove 110 that is sunken by at least 5 mm. The end face positioning block 11 with the working groove 110 that is sunken by at least 5 mm can support the fork-shaped part of the fork on the ground or on the operating table to facilitate one-time hole making operation.
[0033] In this embodiment, the auxiliary support rod 120 extends to the fork arm in the fork joint, thereby supporting its bottom, avoiding bending deformation during the drilling process and reducing the impact of vibration. Moreover, the auxiliary support rod 120 can be installed at different heights to suit different models of fork joints.
[0034] Example 3 aims to further improve the ease of use of the fixture. This example is an improvement upon Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fork positioning block 1 and the clamping device 3 are both mounted on the tooling plate 5. The tooling plate 5 has several pre-installed screw holes, and a weight pad is provided between the tooling plate 5 and the fork positioning block 1 and the clamping device 3.
[0035] In this embodiment: the weight pad can be used to raise the fork positioning block 1, the tail positioning block 2, the clamping device 3, the pressing device 4, and the end face positioning block 11. By adjusting the installation height of the fork positioning block 1, the tail positioning block 2, the clamping device 3, the pressing device 4, and the end face positioning block 11, and by adjusting the pre-installed screw holes at different positions on the tooling plate 5, the spacing between the fork positioning block 1, the tail positioning block 2, the clamping device 3, the pressing device 4, and the end face positioning block 11 can be adjusted. This allows it to be widely applicable to different models of fork joints, and it can also be assembled into a multi-row installation method to fix the fixture.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model.
