Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parts processing technology, specifically a multi-station rotary fixture for processing mechanical parts. Background Technology
[0002] Mechanical parts can be simple individual components, such as a screw or a gear, or more complex assemblies composed of multiple parts, such as the crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism in an engine. Functionally, mechanical parts undertake various tasks, such as transmitting power, supporting structures, controlling motion, and making connections. They work together to enable mechanical equipment to operate according to predetermined requirements and achieve various complex functions.
[0003] In existing technologies, mechanical parts are used in different fields. During the production process, the parts need to be processed according to the set model. For high-precision mechanical parts, in the automotive manufacturing field, some structurally complex parts, such as engine cylinder blocks, are formed by casting. They are then precision milled and drilled by CNC machining centers to ensure that the dimensional accuracy and geometric tolerances of each part meet the model setting.
[0004] However, if the parts cannot be processed in a multi-station manner during the machining process, the machining process will not be continuous. Multi-station machining can ensure the relative positional accuracy of each machining part in a single clamping by using precise fixtures and positioning systems. In contrast, single-station machining requires repositioning when switching processes, and the positioning accuracy is easily affected by various factors such as human factors and equipment precision, making it difficult to guarantee the accurate positional relationship between different parts of the part. Therefore, we propose a multi-station rotary fixture for machining mechanical parts. Utility Model Content

The bottom end of the connecting rod 18 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 18. A pressure plate 110 is mounted on the top end of the connecting rod 18. The top end of the connecting rod 18 is movably connected to the bottom side of the pressure plate 110. The outer side of the pressure plate 110 is vertically slidably connected to the inner side of the processing disc 11. A lead screw 111 is mounted at the center of the pressure plate 110. The center of the pressure plate 110 is threadedly rotatably connected to the outer side of the lead screw 111. A motor 112 is mounted on the top end of the lead screw 111. The top end of the lead screw 111 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 112. One side of the motor 112 is fixedly connected to one top end of the processing disc 11. The bottom end of the lead screw 111 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the processing disc 11. A drive disk 113 is provided on the bottom side of the processing disk 11. The bottom side of the processing disk 11 is fixedly connected to the top side of the drive disk 113. The bottom side of the drive disk 113 is rotatably connected to the top side of the base plate 116. A second motor 117 is provided on the bottom side of the base plate 116. The bottom side of the base plate 116 is fixedly connected to the top side of the second motor 117. A turntable 114 is provided at the output end of the second motor 117. The output end of the second motor 117 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the turntable 114. A lever 115 is provided at the top edge of the turntable 114. The bottom end of the lever 115 is fixedly connected to the top edge of the turntable 114. The outer side of the lever 115 is rotatably in contact with the inner wall of the drive disk 113.
[0027] In use, this type of multi-station rotary fixture for machining mechanical parts firstly features a machining disk 11 with eight machining seats. Each machining seat contains a sub-frame 12 and a mother frame 14. The components connected to the eight sub-frames 12 and the mother frame 14 are identical. Therefore, the mother frame 14 is fixed inside the machining seat. One end of each sub-frame 12 has an inner rod 13 that passes through the inner walls of both the mother frame 14 and the machining disk 11. To simultaneously clamp and fix the eight parts by placing them within the mother frame 14 and sub-frames 12, a side plate 15 is designed at one end of the inner rod 13. The inner wall of the other end of the side plate 15 is connected to a movable arm 16. Before being subjected to external force, the movable arm 16 is tilted. At this time, the motor 112 is started to make the connected lead screw 111 rotate. The outer side of the lead screw 111 is connected to the pressure plate 110. The pressure plate 110 then moves vertically downward inside the processing plate 11. During the downward movement, since the pressure plate 110 and the movable arm 16 are connected by the connecting rod 18, the movable arm 16 will change its angle when the pressure plate 110 moves downward, increasing the tilt angle of the movable arm 16. At the same time, the side plate 15 will drive the inner rod 13 and the sub-frame 12 to move synchronously, thereby clamping and fixing the parts between the sub-frame 12 and the mother frame 14, further improving the processing efficiency.
[0028] A drive disk 113 is installed on the bottom side of the processing disk 11. The drive disk 113 has multiple U-shaped grooves. A turntable 114 is designed on the bottom side of the edge of the drive disk 113. A lever 115 is designed on the edge of the turntable 114. Therefore, by starting the motor 117, the turntable 114 starts to rotate. During the rotation, the lever 115 rotates into the U-shaped groove, causing the drive disk 113 to rotate in stages. In turn, the processing disk 11 rotates in the same way. Each time the lever 115 enters the U-shaped groove, it ensures that the processing disk 11 rotates accurately to the predetermined angle, providing a precise positioning basis for processing operations at different stations and ensuring the consistency of position of each part during the processing.
[0029] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1-5 The support mechanism 2 includes a support rod 21, a ball 22 is provided at the bottom end of the support rod 21, the bottom end of the support rod 21 is fixedly connected to the top side of the ball 22, a base plate 116 is provided on the outside of the ball 22, the outside of the ball 22 is rotatably in contact with the inner wall of the top side of the base plate 116, and the top end of the support rod 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the processing plate 11.
[0030] A support rod 21 is designed on the bottom side of the processing disk 11, and a ball 22 is designed at the bottom end of the support rod 21. The outer side of the ball 22 slides in contact with the inner wall of the base plate 116. This reduces the contact area during the rotation of the processing disk 11, which greatly reduces the frictional resistance and energy loss. At the same time, as a key component connecting the processing disk 11 and the ball 22, the support rod can still stably support the weight of the processing disk 11 in a low-friction operating environment. Although the friction between the ball 22 and the inner wall of the base plate 116 is greatly reduced, the processing disk 11 will tend to sway due to inertia and other factors when rotating. At this time, the support rod 21 effectively restrains the processing disk 11 with its rigid structure, preventing it from displacing or swaying excessively in a low-friction state, thus ensuring the stability of the entire processing system structure.
[0031] Please see Figures 1-6 The parts are placed within the mother frame 14 and the daughter frame 12. To simultaneously clamp and fix eight parts, a side plate 15 is designed at one end of the inner rod 13, and a movable arm 16 is connected to the inner wall of the other end of the side plate 15. The movable arm 16 is tilted before being subjected to external force. At this time, the motor 112 is started, causing the connected lead screw 111 to rotate. The outer side of the lead screw 111 is connected to the pressure plate 110, which then moves vertically downward inside the processing plate 11. During the downward movement, since the pressure plate 110 and the movable arm 16 are connected by the connecting rod 18, the movable arm 16 will change angle when the pressure plate 110 moves downward, allowing the movable arm 16 to move. As the angle of the arm 16 increases, the side plate 15 will drive the inner rod 13 and the sub-frame 12 to move synchronously, thereby clamping and fixing the parts between the sub-frame 12 and the mother frame 14. A drive plate 113 is installed on the bottom side of the processing plate 11. The drive plate 113 has multiple U-shaped grooves. A turntable 114 is designed on the bottom side of the edge of the drive plate 113. A lever 115 is designed on the edge of the turntable 114. Therefore, by starting the motor 117, the turntable 114 starts to rotate. During the rotation, the lever 115 will rotate into the U-shaped groove, causing the drive plate 113 to rotate in stages. In turn, the processing plate 11 rotates in the same way.
[0032] A support rod 21 is designed on the bottom side of the processing disk 11, and a ball 22 is designed at the bottom end of the support rod 21. The outer side of the ball 22 slides in contact with the inner wall of the base plate 116. This reduces the contact area during the rotation of the processing disk 11, which greatly reduces the frictional resistance. As a key component connecting the processing disk 11 and the ball 22, the support rod 21 can still stably support the weight of the processing disk 11 in a low-friction operating environment.
