AI Technical Summary
Most existing fixtures for machining automotive drive shafts can only hold drive shafts of a single size, which limits their use. When machining drive shafts of different sizes, fixtures usually need to be changed, which increases the machining cost.
A jig for machining automotive drive shafts was designed. Multiple rollers are set on the top of the first and second fixed frames. The two ends of the drive shaft are placed horizontally between the rollers, and one end of the universal joint is placed in the triangular chuck for clamping. The second drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate, so that the fixed plate and the fixed frame slide along the guide rail to achieve the clamping of the drive shaft and the universal joint. Combined with the first drive motor driving the whole to rotate, it can adapt to the machining of drive shafts of different sizes.
It enables flexible clamping of drive shafts of different sizes, reduces the frequency of fixture changes, and lowers processing costs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transmission shaft processing technology, specifically a fixture for processing automotive transmission shafts. Background Technology
[0002] The driveshaft is the shaft in a universal joint drive system that transmits power. It is a high-speed, low-support rotating body, making its dynamic balance crucial. Driveshafts typically undergo dynamic balancing tests and adjustments on a balancing machine before leaving the factory. In front-engine, rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the driveshaft transmits rotation from the transmission to the final drive. It can consist of several sections, usually connected by universal joints. During driveshaft manufacturing, the driveshaft and universal joints need to be welded together.
[0003] Most existing fixtures for machining automotive drive shafts can only hold drive shafts of a single size, which limits their use. When machining drive shafts of different sizes, fixtures usually need to be changed, which increases the machining cost to some extent. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the above and / or existing fixtures for machining automotive drive shafts, this utility model is proposed.
[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fixture for machining automotive drive shafts. During use, the two ends of the drive shaft are placed horizontally between multiple rollers on the top of the first and second fixed frames. One end of the universal joint is placed in the triangular chuck for clamping. Under the action of the second drive motor, the lead screw rotates, causing the second fixed plate and the second fixed frame to slide along the guide rail and the first limiting groove according to the length of the drive shaft. This causes the pressure plate to press the drive shaft and the universal joint together. The first drive motor drives the universal joint and the drive shaft to rotate as a whole. Then, an external welding device is used to weld the interface. This solves the problem that most existing automotive drive shaft machining fixtures can only clamp drive shafts of a single size, which is quite limited in use. When machining drive shafts of different sizes, fixture replacement is usually required, increasing processing costs to some extent.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A jig for machining automotive drive shafts includes a base, a first fixed plate fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base, a second fixed plate movably connected to one side of the top of the base, a first drive motor fixedly connected to one side of the first fixed plate, a triangular chuck fixedly connected to the power output end of the first drive motor through the first fixed plate, a plurality of jaws movably connected to one side of the triangular chuck, universal joints clamping and connecting the plurality of jaws, a first fixed frame fixedly connected to the top of the base, a second fixed frame movably connected to the top of the base, a plurality of rollers provided on the top of both the first and second fixed frames, a drive shaft placed between the plurality of rollers, a pressure plate movably connected to one side of the second fixed plate, and an adjustment component provided at the bottom of the base to simultaneously adjust the positions of the second fixed plate and the second fixed frame according to the length of the drive shaft.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the fixture for machining automotive drive shafts according to this utility model, the bottom of the second fixing plate is provided with a first internal thread through hole, and the bottom of the second fixing plate is threadedly connected to the lead screw; the bottom of the second fixing bracket is provided with a second internal thread through hole, and the bottom of the second fixing bracket is threadedly connected to the lead screw.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the fixture for machining automotive drive shafts according to this utility model, guide rails are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base, a first limiting groove is provided on one side of the guide rail, a second limiting groove is provided at both ends of the bottom of the second fixing plate, the guide rail is located in the second limiting groove, and a boss is provided at both ends of the first fixing frame and the second fixing frame, one end of the boss is located inside the first limiting groove.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the fixture for machining automotive drive shafts according to this utility model, a third fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top of both the first fixing frame and the second fixing frame, and a third internal thread through hole is provided at each of the four corners of the top of the third fixing plate. A fourth fixing frame is movably connected to the bottom of the roller.

Under the action of the second drive motor, the lead screw is driven to rotate, so that the second fixed plate and the second fixed frame slide along the guide rail and the first limiting groove according to the length of the drive shaft, so that the pressure plate presses the drive shaft and the universal joint together. The first drive motor drives the universal joint and the drive shaft to rotate as a whole, and then the interface is welded by an external welding device. This solves the problem that most existing automotive drive shaft processing fixtures can only clamp drive shafts of a single size, which has great limitations in use. When processing drive shafts of different sizes, it is usually necessary to change the fixture, which increases the processing cost to a certain extent. Attached Figure Description
