Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of production auxiliary equipment, and in particular relates to a fast loading clamp used in the production of golf clubs. Background Technology

[0002] In the current production process of golf clubs, workpiece loading and unloading are generally done manually by operators on CNC machine tools. This traditional method has significant drawbacks: First, manual loading and unloading operations consume machine processing time, directly reducing equipment uptime and overall production efficiency. Second, the lack of effective online detection methods during real-time clamping on the machine tool makes it impossible to make immediate judgments and feedback on the stability of workpiece positioning and clamping, which can easily lead to positional deviations, vibrations, or loosening during processing, thus affecting workpiece machining accuracy and surface quality, and even increasing the scrap rate. Furthermore, due to the lack of a pre-inspection step after clamping, some defective blanks are often only discovered after processing, further increasing production costs and time losses. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a loading method that can achieve fast, stable, and pre-inspectable operation to improve production efficiency and workpiece pass rate. Utility Model Content

[0003] (I) Purpose of the utility model

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fast loading fixture for golf club production, so as to solve the technical problems of low production efficiency, unstable processing quality and high scrap rate caused by the existing technology of directly loading and unloading materials on the machine, which seriously occupies the processing time of the machine and cannot conduct real-time inspection of the stability of the workpiece and the defects of the workpiece itself during clamping.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided in this application is as follows:

[0007] A rapid loading fixture for golf club production includes: a first fixed seat for placing workpieces; a pressure plate disposed above the first fixed seat, detachably connected to the first fixed seat, and cooperating with the first fixed seat to press the workpieces; and a second fixed seat disposed below the first fixed seat, connected to the first fixed seat, and connected to an external machine for loading.

[0008] This structure allows workpieces to be clamped outside the machine tool. After clamping, the entire fixture can be directly fixed to the external machine tool for loading, significantly reducing machine tool occupancy time and improving equipment utilization. At the same time, the offline clamping method provides operators with ample space and time for inspection, allowing for effective confirmation of the workpiece's raw material quality before loading. This pre-filters out unqualified products and defective raw materials, avoiding unnecessary subsequent processing and reducing material and time waste. Offline clamping also facilitates operators' pre-inspection of the workpiece's installation status, ensuring stable clamping and reducing processing errors and scrap rates caused by poor clamping. Overall, this improves production efficiency and workpiece pass rate.

[0009] In some embodiments, a plurality of raised support portions are formed on the first fixed base to elevate the irregularly shaped workpiece so that it can be placed horizontally.

[0010] The protruding support enhances the adaptability to irregularly shaped workpieces, enabling them to be placed stably and kept horizontal. This avoids insecure clamping or machining deviations caused by uneven workpieces, thus improving the versatility and clamping reliability of the fixture.

[0011] In some embodiments, a limiting groove is provided on the protruding support portion, the shape of which is adapted to the protruding portion of the irregular workpiece for embedding and positioning.

[0012] The design of the limiting groove further enhances the positioning accuracy of the workpiece, preventing it from sliding or rotating during processing. It is especially suitable for workpieces with protruding structures, effectively ensuring the stability of the processing and the consistency of the finished product.

[0013] In some embodiments, the plurality of protruding support portions are arranged in a triangular pattern.

[0014] The triangular support structure ensures that the workpiece is subjected to uniform force during clamping, enhancing overall stability. It is especially suitable for workpieces with uneven weight distribution or complex structure, effectively preventing processing vibration or positional deviation caused by unstable support.

[0015] In some embodiments, a protrusion on the first fixing seat forms a positioning part for embedding into the workpiece opening position to position the workpiece.

[0016] By cooperating with the positioning part and the workpiece hole, more precise positioning is achieved, reducing alignment time. It is especially suitable for golf club workpieces with openings, improving clamping efficiency and machining accuracy.

[0017] In some embodiments, the positioning part has a first screw hole for connection with the pressure plate.

[0018] The screw connection method enhances the rigidity and reliability of the locking structure, ensuring that the clamping force does not loosen during high-speed machining. It also facilitates later maintenance and component replacement, improving the service life and ease of operation of the fixture.

[0019] In some embodiments, the second fixed base has a zero-point positioning hole on its side for connecting to the machine tool.

[0020] The zero-point positioning hole enables quick changeover and high-precision positioning between the fixture and the processing machine, significantly shortening the loading and unloading time and improving the overall rhythm of the production line and the equipment utilization rate.

[0021] In some embodiments, the second mounting base has a second screw hole, which is connected to the bottom of the first mounting base.

[0022] The second screw hole further strengthens the connection between the second fixing seat and the first fixing seat, improves the rigidity and vibration resistance of the overall structure, is suitable for high-speed and high-load processing environments, and ensures the stability and safety of long-term use.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0032] This utility model provides a rapid loading fixture for golf club production. Its core includes a first fixed base 1, typically made of metal, such as a steel plate approximately 5mm thick, upon which the workpiece 4 is placed. Further, a pressure plate 2 is positioned directly above the first fixed base 1, detachably connected to it by bolts. When the bolts are tightened, the pressure plate 2 works in conjunction with the base to press and secure the workpiece 4 from above. Notably, a second fixed base 3 is located below the first fixed base 1. This base is rigidly connected to the first fixed base 1 by a set of hexagonal socket screws and features a standard interface for rapid docking and locking with the worktable of an external CNC machine tool, thus enabling rapid loading of the entire fixture along with the workpiece 4.

[0033] Based on this, in order to accommodate irregularly shaped workpieces 4 with irregular bottom surfaces, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of protruding support portions 101 are further protruded on the top surface of the first fixed base 1. These are fixed to the first fixed base 1 by spot welding or threaded connection, and are used to elevate the irregularly shaped workpiece 4, thereby enabling the workpiece 4 to be in a horizontal position, laying the foundation for subsequent processing.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to achieve more precise positioning of the workpiece 4, a positioning groove 1011 can be formed on each of the aforementioned protruding support portions 101. The shape of the positioning groove 1011 is precisely designed to perfectly match the shape of the protruding portion 402 on the surface of the workpiece 4 to be processed. When the workpiece 4 is placed, its protruding portion 402 can be embedded in the groove. In this way, the workpiece 4 is not only raised vertically, but also effectively prevents slippage and rotation in the horizontal direction.

[0035] Specifically, the three protruding support portions 101 mentioned above are not randomly arranged, but rather in a triangular distribution. This stable geometric distribution ensures that the weight of the workpiece 4 is evenly distributed, thereby maintaining extremely high stability during machining and effectively resisting vibrations and deflection tendencies caused by cutting forces.

[0036] Furthermore, multiple positioning parts 102 can be formed by protrusions on the first fixed seat 1. The diameter of the positioning part 102 is precisely calculated to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the opening 401 on the workpiece 4 and to match the shape of the opening 401. During installation, the positioning part 102 can be embedded in the opening 401 of the workpiece 4, thereby realizing the rapid and accurate circumferential and radial positioning of the workpiece 4 in the horizontal plane, which greatly saves the time for alignment on the machine tool.

[0037] Preferably, in order to ensure that the pressure applied by the pressure plate 2 can be directly and efficiently transmitted to the positioning part 102 and finally clamp the workpiece 4, a first screw hole 1021 is opened in the center of the positioning part 102 along the vertical direction. This screw hole is used to screw in the bolt connecting the pressure plate 2. In this way, the downward pressure generated by tightening the bolt is directly applied to the workpiece 4 through the positioning part 102. The force transmission path is clear and efficient, ensuring the reliability of clamping. There is no need to drill a screw hole on the edge of the first fixed seat 1 to connect the pressure plate 2, making the overall size of the fixture smaller.

[0038] To ensure the rigidity and durability of the entire fixture structure under long-term repeated use and high-load machining, second screw holes 302 are machined at the bottom of the second fixed seat 3 and the first fixed seat 1. Screws are screwed upwards from the bottom of the second fixed seat 3 into the first fixed seat 1, firmly securing the first fixed seat 1 to the second fixed seat 3. This design greatly enhances the shear and torsional resistance between the first fixed seat 1 and the second fixed seat 3, preventing relative displacement that may occur during machining.

[0039] To achieve the highest efficiency in changing fixtures between the fixture and the machine tool, this utility model provides a zero-point positioning hole 301 standardly formed on the side of the second fixed base 3. The zero-point positioning hole 301 is used in conjunction with the zero-point positioning stud on the CNC machine tool worktable. The zero-point positioning hole 301 can be equipped with various locking grooves. Simply push the fixture in, and the stud will enter the hole and lock in place, allowing for high-precision repeatable positioning and material loading within seconds.

Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope.
