[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 The present invention will be further described in terms of the embodiments and implementation methods.
[0019] A clutch housing casting fixture includes a base plate 7. The base plate 7 is characterized by a fixed bracket 2, which is bent. A transverse rod of the fixed bracket 2 fixes the base plate 7. A pair of fixing plates 16 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the transverse rod. A column 17 is fixedly connected to one side of each fixing plate 16, and each column 17 fixes the fixed bracket 2. Symmetrical limiting blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the other side of each fixing plate 16. Each limiting block 15 is slidably connected to a first support rod 141. The lower end of the first support rod 141 is fixed to the telescopic rod of a second electric push rod 14. Push rod 14 fixes the fixed plate 16 and the fixed frame 2. One of the two limiting blocks 15 near the vertical rod of the fixed frame 2 is fixedly connected to the protruding block 21. The protruding block 21 is rotatably connected to the hinge block 3. The hinge block 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the support plate 4. The upper end of the connecting plate 22 is fixed to the lower side of the other end of the support plate 4. The lower ends of the connecting plate 22 are respectively passed through by bolts 9. Both bolts 9 pass through the opening on the washer 19 and the slot 20 provided on the fixed plate 8. The bolts 9 are threadedly connected to nuts 10. The connecting plate 22 and the fixed plate 8 are locked by the nuts 10 and bolts 9. The fixed plate 8 fixes the base plate 7.
[0020] In this embodiment, the base plate 7 serves as the basic component, and the fixing frame 2 adopts a bent structure. It is connected to the base plate 7 by a horizontal rod, and the fixing plate 3 16, column 2 17 and other components are set on the horizontal rod to achieve a stable connection of the structure. The support plate 4 is used to support the clutch housing. The second electric push rod 14 provides a power source for the movement of the first support rod 141. The sliding cooperation between the limiting block 2 15 and the first support rod 141 allows the first support rod 141 to move within a certain range. The combination of the extension block 21, hinge block 3, support plate 4, connecting plate 22, bolt 9, nut 10 and fixing plate 2 8 realizes the adjustable fixing of the support plate 4. The position and angle of the support plate 4 can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the nut 10 and bolt 9.
[0021] The mobility of the first support rod 141 and the adjustable fixation of the support plate 4 can adapt to the casting requirements of clutch housings of different sizes and shapes, playing a preliminary positioning and support role.
[0022] Furthermore, clamping and limiting components are respectively provided on both sides of the horizontal bar of the fixing frame 2. The clamping and limiting components include a column 5, a third electric push rod 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the column 5, the telescopic rod of the third electric push rod 18 is fixedly connected to a second support rod 181, the second support rod 181 is slidably connected to a limiting block 501, the limiting block 501 is fixedly connected to the column 5, an extension arm 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the column 5, the extension arm 11 is bent, the horizontal bar of the extension arm 11 is fixedly connected to the column 5, the vertical bar of the extension arm 11 is fixedly connected to a first electric push rod 12, the first electric push rod 12 is symmetrically arranged, and the telescopic rod of the first electric push rod 12 is fixedly connected to a clamping block 13.
[0023] In this embodiment, clamping and limiting components are provided on both sides of the transverse rod of the fixed frame 2. The third electric push rod 18 pushes the second support rod 181 to slide within the limiting block 501, thereby adjusting the position of the second support rod 181. The extension arm 11 is connected to the column 5. The bent structure of the extension arm 11 allows for the reasonable arrangement of the first electric push rod 12. The telescopic rod of the first electric push rod 12 drives the abutment block 13 to move. The symmetrical arrangement of the first electric push rod 12 achieves bidirectional abutment of the workpiece. The clamping and limiting components further enhance the fixing and limiting function of the clutch housing. The combination of the third electric push rod 18 and the first electric push rod 12 can flexibly adjust the position of the second support rod 181 and the abutment block 13 according to the size and shape of different clutch housings, thereby achieving reliable clamping and positioning of the workpiece, preventing displacement or shaking of the workpiece during the casting process, and improving the casting accuracy and quality.
[0024] Furthermore, the second support rod 181 and the first support rod 141 are arranged vertically, and the clamping block 13 is arranged perpendicularly to the second support rod 181. The vertical arrangement of the second support rod 181 and the first support rod 141 forms a vertical support and positioning structure within the tooling fixture. The clamping block 13 is arranged perpendicularly to the second support rod 181. This arrangement allows the clamping block 13 to clamp the workpiece horizontally, ensuring multi-directional spatial constraint of the workpiece by the tooling fixture. The vertical support rods provide vertical support force, and the clamping block 13, perpendicular to the support rods, provides horizontal clamping force, forming a stable three-dimensional constraint space that better adapts to the shape characteristics of the clutch housing.
[0025] Furthermore, the surfaces of the second support rod 181, the first support rod 141, and the abutment block 13 are made of rubber. By providing a rubber layer on the surfaces of the second support rod 181, the first support rod 141, and the abutment block 13, the elasticity and frictional properties of rubber allow the rubber layer to better conform to the workpiece surface when in contact with it, increasing the frictional force between them. The rubber layer effectively prevents the tooling fixture from causing hard damage to the clutch housing surface, while simultaneously increasing the frictional force with the workpiece, improving the fixation effect on the workpiece, and preventing the workpiece from sliding during the casting process due to its smooth surface.
[0026] Furthermore, a mounting plate 1 is fixedly installed on one side of the vertical rod of the fixing frame 2 corresponding to the support plate 4. The mounting plate 1 has mounting holes for mounting processing equipment. The mounting plate 1, with mounting holes, allows the processing equipment to be mounted on it, facilitating the integration of the processing equipment with the clutch housing casting fixture.
[0027] The method of using this utility model is as follows: Place the base plate 7 stably on the casting workbench to ensure its stability. Place the clutch housing to be cast on the support plate 4. Loosen the nuts 10 and bolts 9 on the connecting plate 22. Adjust the angle and position of the support plate 4 so that it can support the clutch housing well. After adjustment, tighten the nuts 10 and bolts 9 to fix it. According to the size and shape of the clutch housing, initially adjust the position of the first support rod 141 within the second limiting block 15. Drive the first support rod 141 up and down through the second electric push rod 14 to adjust it to a suitable height. Use the first support rod 141 and the support plate 4 to initially position and support the workpiece. According to the specific size of the clutch housing, start the third electric push rod 18 to push the second support rod 181 to slide within the first limiting block 501 and adjust the position of the second support rod 181. Then start the first electric push rod 12 to move the clamping block 13 towards the workpiece. The symmetrically arranged first electric push rods 12 achieve bidirectional clamping of the workpiece, ensuring that the workpiece is reliably fixed in both the horizontal and vertical directions.
[0028] After the workpiece is fixed, the required processing equipment is installed on the fixed frame 2 through the mounting holes on the mounting plate 1 to perform the casting and related processing operations of the clutch housing.
[0029] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely specific examples of this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
