Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, and in particular to a deep hole drilling tool for engine crankshafts. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, the price of cars is getting lower and lower, and the production and sales of cars are also increasing significantly. As a result, the production of cars also needs to increase. The engine is a major component of a car, and the crankshaft is a major component of the engine. Therefore, the production and processing efficiency of the crankshaft has also increased accordingly.

[0003] The crank consists of a rod and a wheel. One end of the rod is connected to the wheel, while the other end has a deep hole for mounting and fixing the crank. Currently, when manufacturing cranks, this deep hole is usually drilled using a drilling machine. Workers can only process the deep holes of the cranks one by one, which is very inefficient. The distance between the worker and the drill bit is very close, and if there is a mistake, it is easy to get injured, which makes the worker's safety during processing low.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model document proposes a deep hole drilling tool for engine crankshafts. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a deep hole drilling fixture for engine crankshafts, which improves the efficiency of deep hole machining of crankshafts and ensures the safety of workers during operation.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A deep hole drilling fixture for engine crankshafts includes a base, on which a guide plate, a cylinder, and a positioning assembly are mounted. The guide plate is vertically positioned, and the cylinder is located on one side of the guide plate and slidably positioned relative to the guide plate in a vertical direction. The positioning assembly is positioned between the guide plate and the cylinder. The guide plate has multiple guide holes, and a drill sleeve is installed within each guide hole.

An internally threaded sliding sleeve is installed on the opposite side wall. A lead screw is threadedly connected to the internally threaded sliding sleeve, and a guide support plate, which is fixed to the machining equipment, is mounted on the lead screw. A bearing is installed at a corresponding position on the guide support plate. The central axis of the drill sleeve is coaxial with the central axis of the center point.

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning assembly includes a front plate for positioning the crankshaft and a rear plate for positioning the crank wheel. The front plate is adjacent to the guide plate, and the rear plate is adjacent to the cylinder block. The top surface of the front plate is provided with a rod pad, and the rod pad has a rod slot. The top surface of the rear plate is provided with a wheel slot.

[0009] Furthermore, the base is also provided with a mounting positioning plate, which is located between the front plate and the rear plate, and the front plate and the rear plate are fixed to the mounting positioning plate by bolts.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper surface of the base has a positioning groove, which is perpendicular to the guide plate. A flat key is provided in the positioning groove, and a sliding groove matching the flat key is provided on the lower surface of the cylinder. The cylinder slides along the flat key, and the sum of the depths of the positioning groove and the sliding groove is the same as the thickness of the flat key.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a guide assembly, which is disposed between the cylinder body and the guide plate. The guide assembly includes a guide rod, one end of which is disposed on the cylinder body and the other end of which passes through the guide plate and is slidably connected to the guide plate. The guide plate has a guide hole through which the guide rod passes.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a cooling assembly, which includes a main channel disposed inside the guide plate and along the length of the guide plate. The inlet end of the main channel is located on the side of the guide plate. A first branch channel is provided on the main channel. The inlet end of the first branch channel is connected to the main channel, and the outlet end is located on the top surface of the guide plate. A "J"-shaped guide pipe is provided at the outlet end of the first branch channel, and the guide pipe is located above the drill sleeve.

[0013] Furthermore, a positioning sleeve is provided inside the cylinder, and the tip is disposed inside the positioning sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, the drill bushing has a cylindrical structure with an annular guide groove on its outer side wall and an annular positioning plate at one end. The annular positioning plate has a positioning hole for positioning the end of the crank. The central axis of the positioning hole is coaxial with the central axis of the drill bushing. The side wall of the drill bushing has a through hole. One end of the through hole is connected to the annular guide groove, and the other end is located at the connection between the inner side wall of the drill bushing and the annular positioning plate. A second branch channel is also opened in the guide plate. One end of the second branch channel is connected to the main channel, and the other end is connected to the annular guide groove on the drill bushing in the guide hole.

[0015] In this invention, the crank is placed on the positioning assembly, and the end face of the crank to be machined rests against the drill sleeve. Then, by moving the cylinder, the tip abuts against the wheel end of the crank, completing the clamping and positioning of the crank. The fixture is then fixed on the machine tool, and the machine tool drill bit enters from the drill sleeve to perform deep hole machining on the crank. This allows for the simultaneous machining of multiple cranks, improving machining efficiency. At the same time, the worker only needs to place the crank and move the cylinder, improving the safety of the worker. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Example:

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 8As shown, a deep hole drilling fixture for engine crankshafts includes a base 1, on which a guide plate 2, a cylinder 3, and a positioning component 4 are mounted. The guide plate 2 is vertically arranged, and the cylinder 3 is located on one side of the guide plate 2 and is slidably arranged relative to the guide plate 2 in the vertical direction. The positioning component 4 is located between the guide plate 2 and the cylinder 3. The guide plate 2 has multiple guide holes 17, and a drill sleeve 5 is provided in each of the guide holes 17. The cylinder 3 has a box-shaped structure, and a center point 6 is provided on the side wall adjacent to the guide plate 2 at the position corresponding to the guide hole 17. An internally threaded sliding sleeve 14 is provided on the opposite side wall. A lead screw 7 is threadedly connected inside the internally threaded sliding sleeve 14. A guide support plate 8, which is fixed to the processing equipment, is also provided on the lead screw 7. A bearing 15 is provided at the corresponding position of the guide support plate 8. The central axis of the drill sleeve 5 is coaxial with the central axis of the center point 6.

[0033] The drill bushing 5 allows the drill bit of the machine tool to pass through. The machining end face of the crank to be machined abuts against the drill bushing 5, while the other end of the crank is fixed on the positioning component 4. By moving the cylinder 3, the tip 6 on the cylinder 3 abuts against the crank, thereby pressing the crank between the tip 6 and the drill bushing 5.

[0034] The guide support plate 8 is fixed on the worktable of the machine tool. The end of the lead screw 7 is connected to the rotation power mechanism of the machine tool. Rotating the lead screw 7 drives the internal threaded sleeve 14 to move on the lead screw 7, thereby driving the cylinder 3 to move.

[0035] The guide plate 2 is provided with multiple guide holes 17, and each guide hole 17 corresponds to a pin, which can simultaneously hold multiple cranks to be processed and perform deep hole processing on the ends of multiple cranks, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0036] The positioning assembly 4 includes a front plate 401 for positioning the crankshaft and a rear plate 402 for positioning the crank wheel. The front plate 401 is adjacent to the guide plate 2, and the rear plate 402 is adjacent to the cylinder block 3. The top surface of the front plate 401 is provided with a rod pad 403, and the rod pad 403 has a rod slot 40301. The top surface of the rear plate 402 is provided with a wheel slot.

[0037] The crankshaft is supported and positioned at the connection between the crank and the disc by the crankshaft groove 40301 on the crankshaft pad 403. The crankshaft pad 403 is set on the front plate 401, and the crankshaft pad 403 can be replaced to meet the processing of different models of cranks. The crank wheel is supported by the rear plate 402. Since the weight of one end of the crank wheel is greater than the weight of the other end, the front plate 401 and the rear plate 402 support the wheel and the end of the crankshaft connecting to the wheel, which facilitates the stable placement of the crank.

[0038] The base 1 is also provided with a mounting positioning plate 101, which is located between the front plate 401 and the rear plate 402. The front plate 401 and the rear plate 402 are fixed to the mounting positioning plate 101 by bolts.

[0039] The front plate 401 and the rear plate 402 are connected to form a whole by installing the positioning plate 101, which improves the stability of the installation structure of the front plate 401 and the rear plate 402. In addition, it is also convenient to install the front plate 401 and the rear plate 402. The front plate 401 and the rear plate 402 can be directly fixed by bolts. The positioning is simple and convenient, which improves the assembly efficiency of the tooling and increases the work efficiency of the workers.

[0040] The upper surface of the base 1 has a positioning groove 102, which is perpendicular to the guide plate 2. A flat key 10 is provided in the positioning groove 102. The lower surface of the cylinder 3 has a sliding groove 301 that matches the flat key 10. The cylinder 3 slides along the flat key 10. The sum of the depths of the positioning groove 102 and the sliding groove 301 is the same as the thickness of the flat key 10.

[0041] The flat key 10 is fixed by the positioning groove 102. The flat key 10 is provided with a countersunk hole. The flat key 10 is fixed in the positioning groove 102 by bolts. The countersunk hole avoids the bolts from affecting the sliding of the cylinder body 3. The thickness of the flat key 10 is greater than the depth of the positioning groove 102, so that the flat key 10 protrudes from the base 1. The sliding groove 301 at the bottom of the cylinder body 3 cooperates with the flat key 10, so that the cylinder body 3 can slide along the flat key 10, which plays a guiding role in the movement direction of the cylinder body 3.

[0042] It also includes a guide assembly, which is located between the cylinder body 3 and the guide plate 2. The guide assembly includes a guide rod 9, one end of which is located on the cylinder body 3 and the other end passes through the guide plate 2 and is slidably connected to the guide plate 2. The guide plate 2 has a guide hole 17, through which the guide rod 9 passes.

[0043] When the cylinder body 3 moves, the guide rod 9 slides along the guide hole 17 on the guide plate 2, which further provides stability to the moving direction of the cylinder body 3, ensures that the tip 6 can accurately abut against the middle of the crank, improves the stability of the crank positioning, and prevents the crank position from changing during drilling, thus affecting product quality.

[0044] It also includes a cooling assembly, which includes a main channel 11. The main channel 11 is located inside the guide plate 2 and is arranged along the length of the guide plate 2. The inlet end of the main channel 11 is located on the side of the guide plate 2. A first branch channel 12 is provided on the main channel 11. The inlet end of the first branch channel 12 is connected to the main channel 11, and the outlet end is located on the top surface of the guide plate 2. A "J"-shaped guide pipe 13 is provided at the outlet end of the first branch channel 12. The guide pipe 13 is located above the drill sleeve 5.

[0045] The inlet end of the main channel 11 is located on the side of the guide plate 2. The main channel 11 can be drilled directly from the side of the guide plate 2. Then, the first branch channel 12 connected to the main channel 11 is drilled from the top of the guide plate 2, which reduces the processing difficulty. The main channel 11 is connected to the external coolant supply pipe. After flowing into the first branch channel 12 from the main channel 11, it flows out from the guide pipe 13. The guide pipe 13 is located above the drill sleeve 5 and can directly guide the coolant to the connection between the crank and the drill sleeve 5. This connection is the drilling position, thereby cooling the drilling end.

[0046] The cylinder body 3 is provided with a positioning sleeve 16, and the tip 6 is set inside the positioning sleeve 16.

[0047] The positioning sleeve 16 facilitates the installation and fixation of the tip 6 onto the cylinder block 3. At the same time, the tip 6 is protected by the sleeve, ensuring the stability of the tip 6 mounting structure after it comes into contact with the crank to be processed, thereby ensuring the stability of the tip 6 fixing structure to the crank.

[0048] The drill bushing 5 has a cylindrical structure with an annular guide groove 502 on its outer wall. One end of the bushing has an annular positioning plate 501 with a positioning hole 504 for positioning the crank end. The central axis of the positioning hole 504 is coaxial with the central axis of the drill bushing 5. A through hole 503 is formed on the side wall of the drill bushing 5. One end of the through hole 503 communicates with the annular guide groove 502, and the other end is located at the connection between the inner side wall of the drill bushing 5 and the annular positioning plate 501. A second branch channel 18 is also formed inside the guide plate 2. One end of the second branch channel 18 communicates with the main channel 11, and the other end communicates with the annular guide groove 502 on the drill bushing 5 inside the guide hole 17. Coolant can also flow through the second branch channel 18 into the annular guide groove 502, and further cool the machining area on the machining end face where the through hole 503 flows.

[0049] In use, the guide plate 2 is fixed to the base 1 with bolts, and the flat key 10 is fixed in the positioning groove 102 with countersunk bolts. The front plate 401 and the rear plate 402 are placed on both sides of the mounting positioning plate 101 and then fixed with bolts. According to the model of the crank to be processed, a suitable rod pad 403 is selected and fixed to the front plate 401 with bolts. The base 1 and the guide support plate 8 are fixed on the processing table of the processing machine tool, and the lead screw 7 is connected to the rotating mechanism of the processing machine tool. Drilling can then be performed.

[0050] The worker places the crankshaft to be processed on the rod pad 403, while the wheel portion of the crankshaft is placed on the rear plate 402. The end of the crankshaft requiring a deep hole rests against the drill sleeve 5. Then, the machine tool's rotational power mechanism, connected to the lead screw 7, is activated, causing the lead screw 7 to rotate. This moves the cylinder 3 towards the guide plate 2, causing the center point 6 to abut against the end face of the crankshaft. The clamping of the center point 6 with the drill sleeve 5 completes the crankshaft positioning. The machining drill bit of the machine tool is then activated, extending from the drill sleeve 5 to contact the end face of the crankshaft, thus machining a deep hole on the end face of the crankshaft abutting against the drill sleeve 5. Throughout the entire processing, the worker only needs to place the crankshaft to be processed on the base 1 and start the machine tool. Multiple crankshafts can be processed simultaneously, improving processing efficiency and worker safety.

[0051] In actual use, an annular positioning block is fixedly installed on the lead screw 7, and a slot is opened on one side of the guide support plate 8. The bearing 15 is inserted into the slot, and the annular positioning block is inserted into the bearing 15. A cover plate is provided on the side of the guide support plate 8 with the slot, and the bearing 15 is pressed by the cover plate to prevent the bearing 15 from falling out of the slot.

[0052] The first branch channel 12 is provided with an internal thread on the side of the outlet end of the top surface of the guide plate 2, and the guide pipe 13 is provided at the outlet end of the first branch channel 12 through a threaded connection.

[0053] The front plate 401 has a limiting groove on its top surface, and the rod pad 403 has a limiting block on its bottom surface that matches the limiting groove. The limiting groove and the limiting block work together to facilitate the positioning of the rod pad 403 when it is fixed on the front plate 401.

[0054] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
