Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for aerospace parts processing, specifically a positioning fixture for plate-shaped workpieces that is easy to adjust. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of aerospace parts processing, the positioning accuracy of plate-shaped workpieces directly affects the processing quality. Traditional positioning fixtures have many limitations: most fixtures are designed for single-shape adaptation; machining rectangular workpieces requires dedicated positioning blocks, and switching to square workpieces requires replacing the entire fixture or reassembling the positioning components, resulting in poor versatility, long changeover times, and low production efficiency. Some adjustable fixtures can adjust the position of the positioning blocks via bolts, but the adjustment process relies on manual measurement, and the accuracy is greatly affected by operator experience. Furthermore, the lack of a stable guiding structure makes it easy for the positioning blocks to shift during movement, leading to repeated positioning errors. In addition, the power drive of existing fixtures is mostly single-cylinder, unidirectional push, making it difficult to achieve synchronous positioning on both sides. For symmetrical workpieces, uneven force on both sides can easily cause slight deformation of the workpiece. At the same time, workpiece supports mostly use fixed brackets, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the support points according to the workpiece thickness or center of gravity position. During processing, workpiece sway can easily affect accuracy. These problems are particularly prominent in the processing of small batches and various types of plate-shaped workpieces, restricting the improvement of production efficiency and processing quality. There is an urgent need for a plate-shaped workpiece positioning fixture that is highly versatile, easy to adjust, and has precise positioning.
[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an easily adjustable positioning fixture for plate-shaped workpieces to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model achieves efficient positioning and flexible adjustment of plate-shaped workpieces: the through slots one, two, and three on the octagonal mounting plate are adapted to the vertical plate of the positioning component, and in conjunction with the bidirectional cylinder driving the positioning component to extend and retract synchronously, it can achieve rapid positioning by abutting the two sides of a rectangular workpiece with the guide post, and can also perform diagonal positioning of a square workpiece by rotating the turntable 45° with the help of the servo motor.

[0021] Example 1
[0022] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides an easily adjustable plate-shaped workpiece positioning fixture, including a mounting plate 1, which is octagonal. The lower end of the mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected to a support plate 6 via a pillar 9. The upper end of the support plate 6 is rotatably mounted to a turntable 11 via a rotating shaft 10. A bidirectional cylinder 14 is detachably mounted to the upper end of the turntable 11 via bolts. Positioning components are provided at both ends of the output ends of the bidirectional cylinder 14. The positioning components include a rear connecting plate 15 fixedly connected to the piston rod ends of both ends of the bidirectional cylinder 14. The front end of the rear connecting plate 15 is fixedly connected to a front connecting plate 17 via a guide rod 16. A vertical plate 18 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the front connecting plate 17. A pocket-shaped bracket 19 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical plate 18. Guide posts 20 are rotatably mounted on both upper ends of the front end of the pocket-shaped bracket 19. The front connecting plate 17 and the vertical plate 18 of the positioning components are integrally formed, and there are two guide rods 16.
[0023] Furthermore, the bolt holes 5 on the mounting plate 1 are evenly distributed in a matrix, and the lower end of the support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the support leg 7, which is fixedly installed on the machine tool's worktable by bolts.
[0024] Furthermore, the pocket-shaped bracket 19 includes a horizontal base plate and two side plates, and the front ends of the two side plates are rotatably mounted with guide posts 20 via bearings.
[0025] Furthermore, the bidirectional cylinder 14 has a double piston rod structure with equal strokes at both ends, and the bidirectional cylinder 14 controls the air intake direction through a solenoid valve to achieve synchronous extension and retraction of the positioning components at both ends.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs from the previous embodiment in that a driven gear 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 10, a driving gear 13 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the support plate 6, the driving gear 13 meshes with the driven gear 12, a servo motor 8 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the support plate 6, and the output shaft of the servo motor 8 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 13.
[0028] Furthermore, through slots 1-2 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the mounting plate 1, through slots 2-3 are symmetrically provided on the upper left and lower right corners of the mounting plate 1, and through slots 3-4 are symmetrically provided on the lower left and upper right corners of the mounting plate 1. Through slots 1-2, through slots 2-3 and through slots 3-4 are all adapted to the vertical plate 18 in the positioning assembly. Several bolt holes 5 are provided at the upper end of the mounting plate 1. The bolt holes 5 are used to install support columns for supporting the plate-shaped workpiece.
[0029] This invention achieves rapid positioning and adjustment of plate-shaped workpieces through structural fit and power drive: An octagonal mounting plate 1 is fixed above a support plate 6 by a pillar 9. When the servo motor 8 on the support plate 6 is started, its output shaft drives the drive gear 13 to rotate. The drive gear 13 meshes with the driven gear 12, causing the rotating shaft 10 to drive the turntable 11 and the bidirectional cylinder 14 detachably mounted on the turntable 11 to rotate synchronously, thereby adjusting the orientation of the positioning component. When processing a square workpiece, the servo motor 8 drives the turntable 11 to rotate 45 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise, so that the positioning component is at the diagonal position of the workpiece. At this time, the bidirectional cylinder 14 is started, and the piston rods at both ends retract synchronously, driving the rear connecting plate 15, guide rod 16, and front connecting plate 17 to move together. The vertical plate 18 moves with the front connecting plate 17 and along the mounting plate 1. The two guide posts 20 at the front end of the pocket-shaped bracket 19 pass through the through slot 2 or through slot 3 or through slot 4, ultimately allowing the two guide posts 20 at the front end of the square workpiece to abut against the two opposite sides of the diagonal, achieving diagonal positioning. When processing a rectangular workpiece, the reference block is first installed through the bolt holes 5 on the mounting plate 1, and one side of the rectangular workpiece is placed against the reference block. Then, the bidirectional cylinder 14 is activated to drive the positioning assembly to retract, and the vertical plate 18 passes through through slot 2, allowing the guide posts 20 to abut against the left and right sides of the rectangular workpiece, cooperating with the reference block to complete the positioning. At the same time, the bolt holes 5 on the mounting plate 1 can be used to install support columns to support the plate-shaped workpiece, ensuring that the workpiece remains stable during processing. The servo motor 8 ensures the accuracy of the rotation angle. Through the synergy of the mechanical structure and the power drive, the rapid and accurate positioning and adjustment of plate-shaped workpieces of different shapes are achieved.
