Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology after forging of parts, specifically to a U-shaped rod boring fixture. Background Technology

[0002] The U-shaped stick on an excavator usually refers to the stick, which is an important component of the excavator. The main function of the stick is to connect the boom and the bucket, assisting the excavator in digging and transporting materials. The stick is typically U-shaped to provide better mechanical support and stability.

[0003] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the U-shaped rod consists of a connecting arm 1 and an intermediate connecting block 2. There are two connecting arms 1, and the two ends of the intermediate connecting block 2 are respectively fixed to one of the connecting arms 1. Each connecting arm 1 is provided with a first through hole 3, and the intermediate connecting block 2 is provided with a second through hole 4.

[0004] The manufacturing process of the U-shaped rod is as follows: First, a semi-finished U-shaped rod is forged using forging equipment. Then, the first through hole 3 is machined on the connecting arm 1 of the U-shaped rod, and the second through hole 4 is machined on the intermediate connecting block 2. Since the precision of the first through hole 3 cannot meet the requirements, it needs to be precision machined by boring to make the first through hole 3 meet the design requirements of the drawing.

[0005] During the precision boring of a U-shaped bar, it is necessary to clamp the U-shaped bar. The existing operation method is to place the U-shaped bar on the worktable and use a hydraulic mechanism to apply force to the U-shaped bar from the left and right sides to clamp it. This clamping structure uses a hydraulic mechanism, which not only makes the fixture large in size but also expensive. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides a U-shaped rod boring fixture that is small in size and low in cost.

[0007] The technical solutions to the above technical problems are as follows:

[0008] The U-shaped boring fixture includes a chassis and also includes:

[0009] The lower support plate is fixed to the chassis.

[0010] A positioning assembly for engaging with the second mounting hole on the U-shaped rod, the positioning assembly being fixed to the lower support plate;

[0011] The first clamping member is connected to one end of the lower support plate;

[0012] The second clamping member is connected to the other end of the lower support plate;

[0013] A pressure plate subjected to pressure by a first pressure member and a second pressure member, the pressure plate cooperating with the first pressure member and the second pressure member respectively;

[0014] The pressure block is connected to the pressure plate, and the pressure block is provided with a mating groove for engaging with the connecting arm of the U-shaped rod.

[0015] After the second through hole on the U-shaped rod is inserted into one end of the positioning post, the middle connecting block of the U-shaped rod is supported by the positioning seat. The mating groove of the pressure block is mated with the connecting arm. The first bolt is threaded through the first U-shaped groove on the pressure plate and then threaded into the third mounting hole. The first pressing component forms a pre-pressure on one end of the pressure plate. The second clamping component is rotated clockwise so that the bolt on the second clamping component is mated with the second U-shaped groove. Torque is applied to the nut so that the nut applies a clamping force to the other end of the pressure plate. Finally, torque is applied to the first pressing component so that a clamping force is generated on the other end of the pressure plate. In this way, the U-shaped rod is clamped between the positioning seat and the pressure block.

[0016] In practical use, this invention eliminates the need for adjustment once the first clamping member is installed on the same model of U-shaped rod. Therefore, during clamping, after the clamping block engages with the U-shaped rod, only the second clamping member needs to be operated to apply pressure to the pressure plate. After boring the first through hole, the nut in the second clamping member is loosened, and rotating the second clamping member removes the clamping force on the U-shaped rod. This provides a quick clamping solution. Furthermore, this invention eliminates the hydraulic clamping mechanism, reducing both cost and fixture size. Attached Figure Description

"Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the U-shaped rod boring fixture of this utility model includes a base plate 11, a lower support plate 12, a first clamping member 13, a second clamping member 14, a pressure plate 15, and a pressure block 16. The following is a detailed description of each part and the relationship between them.

[0035] The chassis 11 is circular, and the lower support plate 12 is fixed to the chassis 11. The end of the lower support plate 12 facing the chassis 11 has multiple first mounting holes 12a. Screws are threaded through the chassis 11 and into the first mounting holes 12a to secure the lower support plate 12 to the chassis 11 as a single unit. Since the lower support plate 12 is installed at the lower part of the chassis 11, a counterweight 11a is fixed to the upper part of the chassis 11 to match the weight of the lower part of the chassis 11. Screws are preferably used to secure the counterweight 11a to the chassis 11 as a single unit.

[0036] The lower support plate 12 includes a lower support plate body 12b, a first support arm 12d, and a second support arm 12e. Each of the lower support plate body 12b, the first support arm 12d, and the second support arm 12e has a first mounting hole 12a. The lower support plate body 12b has a second mounting hole 12c, and the positioning component mates with the second mounting hole 12c. One end of the first support arm 12d is fixed to one end of the lower support plate body 12b, and the other end of the first support arm 12d has a third mounting hole 12f, which is a threaded hole. The other end of the first support arm 12d also has a first nut 12g, the center of which is on the same straight line as the center of the third mounting hole 12f. The first nut 12g can be fixed to the first support arm 12d by welding. The first clamping member 13 is threadedly connected to both the first nut 12g and the third mounting hole 12f.

[0037] One end of the second support arm 12e is fixed to the other end of the lower support plate body 12b. The other end of the second support arm 12e is provided with a groove 12h. After a part of the second clamping member 14 is engaged with the groove 12h, a connector is used to hinge the second support arm 12e to the second clamping member 14. For example, a fourth mounting hole 12i is provided on the second support arm 12e. A bolt passes through the second clamping member 14 and is threadedly connected to the fourth mounting hole 12i, thereby hinged the second clamping member 14 to the second support arm 12e.

[0038] The positioning assembly is used to mate with the second through hole 4 on the U-shaped rod. The positioning assembly is fixed to the lower support plate 12. The positioning assembly includes a positioning post 17 and a positioning seat 18. One end of the positioning post 17 is used to insert into the second through hole 4 on the U-shaped rod. A radial boss 17a is fixed to one end of the positioning post 17. The boss 17a mates with the lower support plate 12. The positioning seat 18 is sleeved on the positioning post 17 and fixed to the lower support plate 12. The boss 17a is pressed between the lower support plate 12 and the positioning seat 18. Screws are used to thread the positioning seat 18 through the threaded hole provided on the lower support plate body 12b to fasten the positioning seat 18 and the lower support plate body 12b into one unit. In this utility model, when the diameter of the second through hole 4 on different U-shaped rods is different, the screws that fasten the positioning seat 18 and the lower support plate body 12b can be removed and the positioning post 17 that is adapted to the current second through hole 4 can be replaced.

[0039] The first clamping member 13 is connected to one end of the lower support plate 12. The first clamping member 13 includes a first bolt 13a and a first pressure-applying component 13b that applies pressure to the pressure plate 15. One end of the first bolt 13a is threadedly connected to the lower support plate 12, and the other end of the first bolt 13a is fixed to the first pressure-applying component 13b. The first bolt 13a is threadedly connected to the first nut 12g and the third mounting hole 12f. The first pressure-applying component 13b is used to apply pressure to one end of the pressure plate 15. The first pressure-applying component 13b is rectangular. Therefore, the first clamping member 13 is a T-bolt.

[0040] The second clamping member 14 is connected to the other end of the lower support plate 12. The second clamping member 14 includes a hinge joint 14a, a bolt 14b, and a nut 14c that applies pressure to the pressure plate 15. The hinge joint 14a is hinged to the lower support plate 12. After the hinge joint 14a is clearance-fitted with the groove 12h, the bolt passes through the hinge joint 14a and is threadedly connected to the fourth mounting hole 12i, thereby making the hinge joint 14a hinged to the second support arm 12e. One end of the bolt 14b is fixed to the hinge joint 14a, and the other end of the bolt 14b is threadedly connected to the nut 14c. The nut 14c is used to apply pressure to the other end of the pressure plate 15.

[0041] The pressure plate 15 is pressurized by the first clamping member 13 and the second clamping member 14. The pressure plate 15 cooperates with the first clamping member 13 and the second clamping member 14 respectively. One end of the pressure plate 15 is provided with a first U-shaped groove 15a for the first clamping member 13 to pass through, and the upper end surface of the pressure plate 15 is provided with a first groove 15b that cooperates with the first clamping member 13. The other end of the pressure plate 15 is provided with a second U-shaped groove 15c for the second clamping member 14 to pass through. In this utility model, the first bolt 13a passes through the first U-shaped groove 15a and is threadedly connected to the first nut 12g and the third mounting hole 12f. The first pressure-applying member 13b cooperates with the first groove 15b. The bolt 14b passes through the second U-shaped groove 15 and is connected to the nut 14c.

[0042] The pressure block 16 is connected to the pressure plate 15. The pressure block 16 is provided with a V-shaped engagement groove 16a for engaging with the connecting arm 1 of the U-shaped rod. This utility model also includes a fastener 19 for fixing the pressure plate 15 and the pressure block 16. The pressure block 16 includes a pressure block body 16b, a first clamping arm 16c, and a second clamping arm 16d. The engagement groove 16a is provided at one end of the pressure block body 16b. The first clamping arm 16c and the second clamping arm 16d are respectively fixed to the other end of the pressure block body 16b. An assembly groove 16e is formed between the first clamping arm 16c and the second clamping arm 16d. The pressure plate 15 engages with the assembly groove 16e. The fastener 19 passes through the first clamping arm 16c, the pressure plate 15, and the second clamping arm 16d. The first clamping arm 16c is provided with a through hole, and the second clamping arm 16d is provided with a threaded hole. The fastener 19 consists of a bolt and a nut. After the bolt in the fastener 19 passes through the first clamping arm 16c and the pressure plate 15, the bolt is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the second clamping arm 16d and the nut in the fastener 19.

[0043] Although the pressure block 16 and the pressure plate 15 are fastened together by fasteners 19, a gap still exists between them. When the pressure block 16 applies pressure to the U-shaped rod, this gap causes instability in the clamping of the U-shaped rod. Therefore, this invention also includes a support component 20. The pressure plate 15 has an assembly hole 15d, and the pressure block 16 has a mating groove 16f located at the bottom of the assembly groove 16e. One end of the support component 20 mates with the assembly hole 15d, and the other end mates with the assembly groove 16e. After the U-shaped rod is clamped, the pushing force generated by the support component 20 on the pressure block 16 eliminates the gap between the pressure block 16 and the U-shaped rod.

[0044] The usage process of this utility model is as follows:

[0045] After the second through hole 4 on the U-shaped rod is inserted into one end of the positioning post 17, the middle connecting block 2 of the U-shaped rod is supported by the positioning seat 18. The mating groove 16a of the pressure block 16 is mated with the connecting arm 1. The first bolt 13a is passed through the first U-shaped groove 15a on the pressure plate 15 and then threaded into the third mounting hole 12f. The first pressure applying component 13b forms a pre-pressure on one end of the pressure plate 15. Clockwise (from Figure 1 (Looking up) Rotate the second clamping member 14 so that the bolt 14b on the second clamping member 14 engages with the second U-shaped groove 15c, apply torque to the nut 14c, so that the nut 14c applies a clamping force to the other end of the pressure plate 15, and finally apply torque to the first pressure applying member 13b, so that the first pressure applying member 13b generates a clamping force to the other end of the pressure plate 15, thus clamping the U-shaped rod between the positioning seat 18 and the pressure block 16.
