Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts clamping technology, specifically to a machining clamp for a rear lower control arm of an automobile. Background Technology
[0002] The rear lower control arm is a key load-bearing and moving component in the automotive suspension system. Its complex shape typically includes multiple holes, surfaces, and contours requiring high-precision machining. To ensure the assembly accuracy, motion characteristics, and overall vehicle handling stability of the rear lower control arm, extremely high requirements are placed on the clamping and positioning accuracy and stability of the workpiece during machining. The rear lower control arm has a relatively weak structural rigidity, making it prone to deformation and vibration during machining. Using conventional positioning methods can easily lead to deformation, dimensional deviations, poor repeatability, and low machining efficiency, making it unsuitable for mass production. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new machining fixture for the automotive rear lower control arm to meet current usage requirements. Utility Model Content

A protrusion is provided on the lower side of the end of the third pressure plate 34, which corresponds to the second support seat 32 to fix the workpiece. The two first support seats 4 and the second support seat 32 form a stable triangular support structure. With the precise positioning of the elastic pin 12, the positioning accuracy of the workpiece is ensured.
