[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a self-centering quick-assembly tooling for machining a steering arm tapered hole, including a support 1 for support, a limiting mechanism 2 for limiting inside the support 1, a steering arm body 3 on the limiting mechanism 2, and a positioning mechanism 4 for positioning above the steering arm body 3.

[0026] The positioning mechanism 4 includes a mounting base 401 bolted to the inner wall of the support 1, a guide rod 402 passing through the mounting base 401, a baffle 403 for preventing detachment connected to the end of the guide rod 402, and a positioning seat 404 slidably connected to the guide rod 402, and a positioning stop 405 for positioning connected to the bottom of the positioning seat 404.

[0027] The self-centering quick-assembly tooling for machining the taper hole of the steering arm has a sliding rod 402 that guides the positioning seat 404 to prevent the positioning seat 404 from being rotated by the threaded rod 407. The baffle 403 blocks the positioning seat 404 to prevent it from slipping off the baffle 403. The positioning seat 404 slides forward along the sliding rod 402 until the positioning stop 405 abuts against the limiting mechanism 2. At this time, the hole in the positioning seat 404 is aligned with the position where the steering arm body 3 needs to be drilled, and centering is performed. Then, the drill bit passes through the positioning seat 404 to drill the steering arm body 3.

[0028] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2In the middle, the back of the mounting base 401 is connected to a servo motor b406 for driving the threaded rod 407 to rotate via a motor mount. The output end of the servo motor b406 passes through the inner wall of the mounting base 401 and is connected to the threaded rod 407 for driving the positioning seat 404 to move. The threaded rod 407 is connected to the back of the baffle 403 via a bearing, and the threaded rod 407 is threadedly connected to the positioning seat 404.

[0029] The self-centering quick-assembly tooling for machining the taper hole of the steering arm is started by a servo controller to start the servo motor b406 to drive the threaded rod 407 to rotate on the back of the baffle 403. At this time, the threaded rod 407 rotates in the positioning seat 404, causing the positioning seat 404 to slide along the front of the slide rod 402.

[0030] exist Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the middle, the limiting mechanism 2 includes a support arm 201 that runs through and slides on the inner wall of the support 1. The front part of the support arm 201 is connected to a column housing 202 for mounting components. The support arm 201 and the column housing 202 are both slidably connected in the steering arm body 3. The back of the steering arm body 3 abuts against a support ring 208 for support. The support ring 208 is slidably connected to the outside of the support arm 201 and is connected to the front part of the support 1.

[0031] An electric actuator 209 for moving the connecting plate 210 is embedded in the back of the support 1 near the support arm 201. The output end of the electric actuator 209 is connected to the connecting plate 210 for moving the support arm 201. The connecting plate 210 is connected to the back of the support arm 201.

[0032] The self-centering quick-assembly tooling for machining the tapered hole of the steering arm is curved and cannot fully abut against the support 1. The support ring 208 supports the suspended part between the steering arm body 3 and the support 1. The steering arm body 3 is inserted into the insert rod formed by the two sets of column housings 202 and the support arm 201 to limit the steering arm body 3. At this time, the steering arm body 3 can only slide back and forth.

[0033] The electric actuator 209 is activated to push the connecting plate 210 to pull the support arm 201 and the column housing 202 to move backward, which in turn drives the pressure plate 207 on the column housing 202 to pull the steering arm body 3 backward, pressing the steering arm body 3 against the support 1, limiting the support 1, and clamping it.

[0034] exist Figure 5 and Figure 6In the middle, the front part of the column housing 202 is connected to a servo motor a203 for driving the circular plate 204 to rotate via a motor mount. The output end of the servo motor a203 passes through the inner wall of the column housing 202 and is connected to the circular plate 204. The circular plate 204 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the column housing 202. An arc-shaped groove 205 is opened in the circular plate 204 for driving the guide rod 206 to slide. The guide rod 206 for driving the pressure plate 207 to move is slidably connected in the arc-shaped groove 205. The back of the guide rod 206 is connected to the pressure plate 207 for limiting the steering arm body 3. The pressure plate 207 passes through and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the column housing 202, and the pressure plate 207 abuts against the front part of the steering arm body 3.

[0035] The self-centering quick-assembly tooling for machining the taper hole of the steering arm uses a servo controller to start the servo motor a203 to drive the circular plate 204 to rotate. The arc groove 205 inside the circular plate 204 rotates with the circular plate 204, which drives the guide rod 206 to push the pressure plate 207 to slide, and retract the pressure plate 207 into the column housing 202. This allows the steering arm body 3 to be inserted into the insert formed by the column housing 202 and the support arm 201. The circular plate 204 is started to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the pressure plate 207 extends out of the column housing 202, thereby preventing the steering arm body 3 from slipping off the column housing 202.
