Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive shock absorber processing technology, specifically to a support structure for processing automotive shock absorber piston rods. Background Technology

[0002] In the machining process of automotive shock absorber piston rods, in order to ensure their machining accuracy (such as outer diameter roughness, straightness, step size, etc.), the piston rods need to be stably fixed by a clamping support structure.

[0003] However, when using existing clamping and support structures, since piston rods are mostly slender rod-shaped structures and their outer cylindrical surfaces need to be machined, existing support structures often use fully enclosed chucks or clamps for clamping. These clamping methods often directly contact and block part of the piston rod surface, causing the blocked local areas to be unable to be directly machined by the cutting tool. To deal with these blocked areas, the operator needs to manually and repeatedly adjust the clamping position, which increases the complexity of the process and the processing time.

[0004] Therefore, a support structure for machining the piston rod of an automotive shock absorber is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a support structure for the processing of piston rods of automotive shock absorbers, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution.

[0007] This utility model provides a processing support structure for automotive shock absorber piston rods, including a base, a processing table on top of the base, support rods fixed between the two sides of the processing table and the two sides of the base, two support mechanisms symmetrically arranged on the top of the processing table, and the bottom of the two support mechanisms slidingly connected to the processing table. The top of the processing table is provided with a horizontal strip groove, a fixing plate is fixedly provided in the middle of the strip groove, a double-headed cylinder is fixedly provided in the middle of the fixing plate, and the two moving ends of the double-headed cylinder are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the two support mechanisms. The base is provided with a receiving mechanism at the top, and the receiving mechanism is located below the strip groove.

[0008] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a lower support seat slidably disposed on the top of the processing table, an upper support seat disposed on the top of the lower support seat, U-shaped frames extending upwardly fixed on both sides of the lower support seat, a one-way cylinder fixedly disposed on the top of the U-shaped frame, the moving end of the one-way cylinder being fixedly connected to the top of the upper support seat, and a V-shaped groove being provided on the opposite side of the lower support seat and the upper support seat.

[0009] Preferably, two sliding rods are symmetrically fixed inside the strip groove, two sliding seats are symmetrically fixed at the bottom of the lower support base, and the sliding seats are slidably connected to the sliding rods. A connecting seat is fixedly provided at the bottom of the lower support base, and the side wall of the connecting seat is fixedly connected to the moving end of the double-headed cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, a cover plate is fixedly provided at the top center of the strip groove to cover the double-headed cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the receiving mechanism includes a receiving box fixedly disposed on the top of the base, the receiving box having a material dispensing port on one side, and a sealing plate inside the material dispensing port.

[0012] Preferably, both sides of the sealing plate are fixedly provided with plug-in blocks, both sides of the material receiving box are provided with plug-in slots that cooperate with the plug-in blocks, and the side wall of the sealing plate is provided with a pull groove.

[0013] Preferably, mounting rings are fixedly provided on both sides of the base.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: By using a one-way cylinder to drive the separation and closure of the upper and lower support seats, and in conjunction with a double-headed cylinder to drive the two support mechanisms to slide relative to each other, the support position can be automatically adjusted. This eliminates the need for manual operation to avoid the original clamping obstruction area, solving the problem of local processing failure caused by clamping obstruction in traditional structures. It reduces the intensity and time of operation and improves processing efficiency.

[0015] The piston rod is clamped by the lower support and upper support through a V-groove, which not only ensures the stability of clamping but also adapts to the processing requirements of piston rods of different diameters, enhancing the versatility of the equipment. At the same time, the V-groove design ensures that the piston rod is subjected to uniform force during clamping, reducing workpiece deformation caused by excessive clamping force and ensuring processing accuracy.

[0016] With the provided receiving box, waste generated during processing can fall directly into the receiving box through the strip groove, avoiding the accumulation of waste on the processing table surface and affecting operation. The sealing plate of the receiving box cooperates with the insertion slot through the insertion block, which facilitates quick removal and cleaning of waste, reduces the labor intensity of manual cleaning, and keeps the processing environment clean.

[0019] A support structure for machining the piston rod of an automotive shock absorber, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the system includes a base 1, with mounting rings 13 fixed on both sides. Mounting bolts are inserted into the mounting rings 13 to secure the base 1 to the processing equipment. A processing table 2 is located above the base 1. Support rods 3 are fixed between the sides of the processing table 2 and the sides of the base 1. Two support mechanisms 4 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the processing table 2, with their bottoms slidably connected to the processing table 2. Each support mechanism 4 includes a lower support seat 41 slidably mounted on the top of the processing table 2, an upper support seat 42 on top of the lower support seat 41, and upwardly extending U-shaped frames 43 fixed on both sides of the lower support seat 41. A one-way cylinder 4 is fixed on the top of the U-shaped frames 43. 4. The moving end of the one-way cylinder 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper support seat 42. V-shaped grooves 45 are provided on the opposite side of the lower support seat 41 and the upper support seat 42. When the one-way cylinder 44 is activated, its moving end pushes the upper support seat 42 down, which cooperates with the V-shaped groove 45 of the lower support seat 41 to clamp and fix the piston rod. The V-shaped groove 45 can be used to clamp and support piston rods of different sizes. Two sliding rods 9 are symmetrically fixed inside the strip groove 5. Two sliding blocks 10 are symmetrically fixed at the bottom of the lower support seat 41, and the sliding blocks 10 are slidably connected to the sliding rods 9. The cooperation between the sliding rods 9 and the sliding blocks 10 can increase the stability of the lower support seat 41 and the upper support seat 42 sliding on the top of the processing table 2.

[0020] The top of the processing table 2 is horizontally provided with a strip groove 5. A fixing plate 6 is fixedly provided in the middle of the strip groove 5. A double-headed cylinder 7 is fixedly provided in the middle of the fixing plate 6. A cover plate 12 is fixedly provided at the top center of the strip groove 5 to cover the double-headed cylinder 7, so as to prevent waste from falling into the cylinder body of the double-headed cylinder 7 and reduce the possibility of contamination. The two moving ends of the double-headed cylinder 7 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the two support mechanisms 4. A connecting seat 11 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the lower support base 41. The side wall of the connecting seat 11 is fixedly connected to the moving end of the double-headed cylinder 7.

[0021] The top of the base 1 is provided with a receiving mechanism 8, which is located below the strip groove 5. The receiving mechanism 8 includes a receiving box 81 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. A material dispensing port is provided on one side of the receiving box 81, and a sealing plate 82 is provided inside the material dispensing port. Insertion blocks 83 are fixedly provided on both sides of the sealing plate 82. Insertion grooves that cooperate with the insertion blocks 83 are opened on both sides of the material dispensing port of the receiving box 81. A pull groove 84 is opened on the side wall of the sealing plate 82. When the operator inserts his / her finger into the pull groove 84 and pulls the pull groove 84 upward, the insertion blocks 83 on both sides of the sealing plate 82 are moved out from the insertion groove. At this time, the waste material inside the receiving box 81 can be cleaned.

[0022] In summary: During operation, the piston rod is first placed in the V-groove 45 of the lower support seat 41 of the two support mechanisms 4. The one-way cylinder 44 is then activated, and its moving end pushes the upper support seat 42 downward to cooperate with the V-groove 45 of the lower support seat 41 to clamp and fix the piston rod for processing. When the part of the piston rod that is clamped and supported needs to be processed, the one-way cylinder 44 is controlled to retract, which drives the upper support seat 42 to move upward, so that the upper support seat 42 and the lower support seat 41 are separated, and the clamping of the piston rod is released. Then, the double-headed cylinder 7 is started, and its two moving ends drive the lower support seats 41 of the two support mechanisms 4 to slide relatively close to each other through the bottom slide seat 10 along the slide rod 9 in the strip groove 5, so that the two support mechanisms 4 are moved away from the part of the piston rod that was originally clamped and blocked. After being removed, the one-way cylinder 44 is extended again, driving the upper support 42 to move down and re-cooperate with the lower support 41 to clamp and fix the piston rod, completing the retraction and clamping operation, so that the previously blocked part can be processed. The whole process does not require manual adjustment and realizes automated operation. Waste generated during processing falls into the receiving box 81 of the receiving mechanism 8 below through the strip groove 5. After processing is completed, the sealing plate 82 can be pulled out from the material outlet of the receiving box 81 by pulling the pulling groove 84 of the sealing plate 82 to clean up the waste. The mounting rings 13 on both sides of the base 1 can be used to fix the device on the processing equipment to ensure stability during processing.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
