[0018] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a drilling and milling fixture for aircraft parts is disclosed, comprising: a fixture body 1, detachably mounted on a machine tool worktable; a first abutment rod 11 and a second abutment rod 12, symmetrically mounted on the fixture body 1; a first mounting shaft 71 and a second mounting shaft 72, fixedly mounted on the fixture body 1; a first sliding groove 21 and a second sliding groove 22, respectively formed on the first abutment rod 11 and the second abutment rod 12; the first mounting shaft 71 being slidably disposed within the first sliding groove 21; and the second mounting shaft 72 being slidably disposed within the first sliding groove 21. The first abutment rod 11 is rotatably mounted on the second slide groove 22, and the second abutment rod 12 is rotatably mounted on the second abutment rod 12. The first driving component is used to drive the moving component 3 to move, thereby changing the included angle between the first abutment rod 11 and the second abutment rod 12. The clamping assembly is provided on the tooling body 1 and is used to abut the parts between the first abutment rod 11 and the second abutment rod 12.

[0020] In practical use, when the part to be processed is rectangular, the first driving component drives the moving component 3 to move, pushing the moving component 3 to move until the included angle between the first abutting rod 11 and the second abutting rod 12 is pushed to 180°. Then, the part to be processed is placed on one side of the first abutting rod 11 and the second abutting rod 12. Finally, the clamping assembly clamps the part between the first abutting rod 11, the second abutting rod 12 and the clamping assembly.

[0021] When the part to be processed is cylindrical, the first driving component drives the moving component 3 to move, and pulls the moving component 3 to move until the included angle between the first abutting rod 11 and the second abutting rod 12 is pulled to less than 180°. The specific angle should be adjusted adaptively according to the outer diameter of the part. Then, the part to be processed is placed between the first abutting rod 11 and the second abutting rod 12. Finally, the clamping assembly clamps the part between the first abutting rod 11 and the second abutting rod 12.

[0022] By using this utility model, the included angle between the first abutment rod 11 and the second abutment rod 12 can be adjusted. The included angle between the first abutment rod 11 and the second abutment rod 12 can be adjusted to 180°, which can be used to clamp and fix rectangular parts; the included angle between the first abutment rod 11 and the second abutment rod 12 can also be adjusted to less than 180°, which can be used to clamp and fix cylindrical parts. It can meet the clamping requirements of two different shapes of aircraft parts on the machine tool, increase the applicability of this tooling, reduce the tooling change rate, and effectively ensure the drilling and milling efficiency of aircraft parts.

[0023] Specifically, the tooling also includes: a first guide groove 41, in which the movable component 3 is slidably installed; a first hinge shaft 31 and a second hinge shaft 32, which are installed on the movable component 3; a first abutting rod 11 hingedly installed on the first hinge shaft 31, and a second abutting rod 12 hingedly installed on the second hinge shaft 32.

[0024] In practical use, during the movement of the moving part 3, it can drive the first hinge shaft 31 and the second hinge shaft 32 to push and pull the first abutting rod 11 and the second abutting rod 12 respectively; simultaneously, the first mounting shaft 71 and the second mounting shaft 72 slide in the first slide groove 21 and the second slide groove 22 respectively, guiding and changing the included angle between the first abutting rod 11 and the second abutting rod 12.

[0025] Specifically, the clamping assembly includes: a second guide groove 42, which is formed on the tooling body 1; an abutment block 51, which is slidably disposed in the second guide groove 42; a support block 52, which is fixedly disposed on the tooling body 1; and a first lead screw 53, one end of which is rotatably connected to the abutment block 51, and the other end of which extends through the support block 52 for a fixed length, and the first lead screw and the support block 52 are connected by threads.

[0026] It is worth mentioning that both the first guide groove 41 and the second guide groove 42 can be dovetail grooves.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first driving component is the second lead screw 62, both ends of which are rotatably mounted on the tooling body 1. The second lead screw 62 and the moving component 3 are connected by a threaded transmission.

[0028] It is understandable that through holes 13 are provided in the radial direction on both the first lead screw and the second lead screw 62. The operator can insert one end of the rod into the through hole 13, and the operator can turn the first lead screw or the second lead screw 62 by turning the other end of the rod, thereby driving the abutment block 51 / moving component 3 to move.

[0029] Specifically, the tooling also includes several through holes 13, which are formed on the tooling body 1 for bolts to pass through. By passing the bolts through the through holes 13, the bolt nuts press the tooling body 1 onto the machine tool's worktable, and the other end of the bolts is locked by a nut, thus completing the detachable installation of the tooling body 1 onto the machine tool's worktable.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first driving component is a hydraulic cylinder 61. The main body of the hydraulic cylinder 61 is fixedly mounted on the tooling body 1, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 61 is connected to the moving component 3. The moving component 3 can be moved by the extension and retraction movement of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 61.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention. Clearly, those skilled in the art can make various alterations and modifications to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Thus, if these modifications and modifications of the present invention fall within the scope of the machine equivalents of the claims of the present invention, the present invention also intends to include these modifications and modifications.
