Detailed Implementation
[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand how to practice this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in conjunction with its preferred embodiments, these embodiments are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0021] This utility model provides a positioning fixture for grinding the main end face of a nozzle ring mounting plate or rear cover. This fixture aims to solve the problem in existing technologies where the chuck jaws protrude from the workpiece end face, hindering grinding. Its core lies in providing a non-protruding upper surface clamping solution, ensuring unobstructed grinding.
[0022] See Figure 1-3 In one embodiment of this utility model, a positioning fixture for grinding nozzle rings is mainly used for grinding the mounting plate or back cover of the nozzle ring. It includes: a support plate 1, a limiting plate 2, a clamping assembly 3, and a base 4. The support plate 1 and the clamping assembly 3 are both fixedly installed on the base 4. The limiting plate 2 is installed on the support plate 1 and corresponds to the position of the clamping assembly 3. The limiting plate 2 and the clamping assembly 3 work together to form a clamping fit for the workpiece.
[0023] Specifically, the support plate 1 is fixed to the base 4 by bolts, and a groove 11 is provided on the upper end of the support plate 1 along its length.
[0024] The limiting plate 2 is fixed to the support plate 1 by bolts; the limiting plate 2 is an L-shaped right-angle plate structure composed of a right side plate 21 and a left side plate 22 that are perpendicular to each other; the thickness of the limiting plate 2 is designed to be less than the thickness of the mounting plate 5 to be polished, so that the upper end of the mounting plate 5 can protrude from the limiting plate 2 after it is placed, and the limiting plate 2 itself does not obstruct the polishing operation; the limiting plate 2 is mounted on the slide groove 11, and the opening direction of the slide groove 11 is consistent with the angle formed by the length direction of the right side plate 21 and the left side plate 22, which can be understood as the right side plate 21 and the left side plate 22 being symmetrically arranged along the opening direction of the slide groove 11.
[0025] Furthermore, a U-shaped hole 23 is provided at the right angle on the inner side of the limiting plate 2. The U-shaped hole 23 is located above the slide groove 11. The larger gap formed by the U-shaped hole 23 makes it easier to remove the mounting plate 5.
[0026] The clamping assembly 3 includes a fixed base 31, a screw 32, a clamping seat 33, a rotating rod 34, and a connecting piece; the fixed base 31 is fixed to the base 4 by bolts and is located on the right side of the support plate 1; the screw 32 passes through the fixed base 31 in the left and right directions, and is threadedly connected to the fixed base 31, with the length direction of the screw 32 consistent with the opening direction of the slide groove 11; the rotating rod 34 is fixed to the right end of the screw 32 and is used to drive the screw to rotate;
[0027] The clamping seat 33 is located at the left end of the screw 32 and is connected to the screw 32 through a connector; the clamping seat 33 is a box-shaped structure with both the upper and right ends open, and the front and rear sides of the clamping seat 33 are respectively slidably engaged with the two side walls of the slide groove 11; the clamping seat 33 is set at a right angle toward the inner side of the limiting plate 2.
[0028] The connector includes a connecting rod 35 and a limiting nut 36. The connecting rod 35 is vertically fixed inside the clamping seat 33, and the upper part of the connecting rod 35 slides through the screw 32. The limiting nut 36 is threaded to the upper part of the connecting rod 35, and the lower end of the limiting nut 36 is pressed against the outer periphery of the screw 32. By turning the limiting nut 36, the vertical height of the clamping seat 33 relative to the screw 32 can be adjusted to accommodate mounting discs 5 of different thicknesses, and to ensure that the top of the clamping seat 33 is always lower than the upper surface of the mounting disc 5.
[0029] The horizontal height of the clamping seat 33 can be adjusted by rotating the limiting nut 36 to accommodate mounting discs 5 of different thicknesses. After installation, the top of the clamping seat 33 protrudes from the upper surface of the support plate 1, but is lower than the upper surface of the mounting disc 5. Rotating the rotating rod 34 allows the clamping seat 33 to work with the limiting plate 2 to radially clamp the mounting disc. In other words, this positioning fixture can clamp mounting discs or back covers with different outer diameters through three-point positioning. At the same time, the horizontal height of the execution end is lower than the horizontal height of the upper end of the part to be polished. During polishing, the polishing head can be positioned above this fixture to perform polishing operations on the main end face of the mounting disc or back cover.
[0030] Working principle: The mounting disc 5 to be ground is laid flat on the support plate 1, with its outer edge tangent to the right side plate 21 and left side plate 22 of the limiting plate 2, respectively, to complete the initial positioning; then, the rotating rod 34 drives the screw 32 to rotate. Since the screw 32 is threadedly connected to the fixed seat 31 and cannot move axially, the rotational motion is converted into the linear motion of the clamping seat 33 along the slide groove 11. The clamping seat 33 moves at a right angle to the inside of the limiting plate 2, forming a three-point positioning (two points on the limiting plate and one point on the clamping seat) with the limiting plate 2, realizing the radial clamping of the mounting disc 5; after clamping, the thickness of the limiting plate 2 is... The top of the clamping seat 33 is lower than the workpiece thickness and its top is lower than the upper end face of the workpiece. The top height of the clamping seat 33 is adjusted by the connecting parts (such as the limit nut 36) to ensure that the top of the clamping seat 33 is also lower than the upper end face of the workpiece. Therefore, all clamping components of this fixture (top surface of the limit plate, top surface of the clamping seat) do not protrude from the main end face of the workpiece to be ground. During the grinding operation, the grinding equipment (grinding head) can be set up above the fixture without obstruction to perform sufficient grinding operations on the upper and lower main end faces of the mounting plate 5, thoroughly remove the burrs generated after the opening, and ensure the smooth assembly and working performance of the nozzle ring.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the connector includes a fixing post 37 and a pin 38. The fixing post 37 is vertically fixed inside the clamping seat 33. The screw 32 slides through the fixing post 37. The pin 38 is installed on the screw 32 and is located on the left side of the fixing post 37 to prevent the clamping seat 33 from detaching from the screw 32. The left end of the screw 32 abuts against the inner wall of the clamping seat 33. Compared with the aforementioned screw 32 applying force to the clamping seat 33 through the connecting rod 35, the screw 32 applying force directly to the clamping seat 33 can make the clamping force more stable.
[0032] In one embodiment, the limiting plate 2 is composed of multiple sub-plates stacked together. The overall thickness of the limiting plate 2 can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of sub-plates to accommodate mounting discs 5 of different thicknesses.
[0033] In one embodiment, to avoid the fixture causing pressure damage to the mounting plate or rear cover, a rubber pad can be fixedly attached to the left end of the clamping seat 33 during implementation.
[0034] Through this technical solution, this positioning fixture effectively solves the problem of traditional chuck clamping hindering grinding by using an innovative L-shaped limiting plate, height-adjustable clamping seat, and three-point radial clamping design. It achieves stable and interference-free clamping of circular mounting plates or back covers, and has good size adaptability. It is designed for efficient and unobstructed grinding of their main end faces.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
