Therefore, the directional and positional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Example 1 like Figure 1-2 As shown, a shaping fixture for a miniature circuit breaker housing includes a shaping box 1 and a pneumatic clamping mechanism 2. The pneumatic clamping mechanism 2 includes a cylinder 21 and a shaping clamping plate 22 slidably disposed in the shaping box 1. The shaping box 1 is provided with a shaping groove 11 for placing the miniature circuit breaker housing. The piston rod 211 of the cylinder 21 has a screw portion 212 extending into the shaping groove 11. The shaping clamping plate 22 is provided with a guide sleeve 23. The tail of the screw portion 212 is inserted into the guide sleeve 23. A limit component 3 is provided on the screw portion 212. A buffer spring 24 is provided between the limit component 3 and the shaping clamping plate 22.
[0022] like Figure 1As shown, the limiting assembly 3 includes an adjusting nut 31 and a limiting disc 32 mounted on the screw portion 212. The limiting disc 32 is fitted onto the screw portion 212 and abuts against the adjusting nut 21 and the buffer spring 24. The limiting assembly adopts an adjusting nut structure design, which allows adjustment of the spring force of the buffer spring by rotating the adjusting nut. This allows for adjustment of the clamping pressure to suit different specifications of miniature circuit breaker housings, thereby improving the shaping quality of the miniature circuit breaker housing. A guide nut 25 is provided at the tail of the screw portion 212. The guide sleeve 23 has a guide groove 231 for the guide nut 25 to slide within it. The screw portion 212 drives the guide nut 25 to reciprocate within the guide groove 231. The guide nut serves a guiding function and can adjust the stroke of the piston rod, thus adapting to the shaping of miniature circuit breaker housings of different specifications. An aluminum alloy clamping plate 221 is linked to the shaping clamping plate 22, forming a shaping clamping cavity 220 between the aluminum alloy clamping plate 221 and the shaping box 1 for placing the miniature circuit breaker housing. The aluminum alloy clamping plate has good heat dissipation performance, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the miniature circuit breaker housing inside the shaping box. A thermally conductive silicone pad 222 is provided on the aluminum alloy clamping plate 221 to abut against the miniature circuit breaker housing. The thermally conductive silicone pad can play a heat dissipation and cushioning role, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the miniature circuit breaker housing inside the shaping box, and can also prevent the aluminum alloy clamping plate from damaging the miniature circuit breaker housing. A thermally conductive silicone buffer pad 111 is provided in the shaping groove 11 on the side facing the thermally conductive silicone pad 222. The thermally conductive silicone buffer pad can play a heat dissipation and cushioning role, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the miniature circuit breaker housing inside the shaping box, and can also prevent the shaping box from damaging the miniature circuit breaker housing.
[0023] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the aluminum alloy clamping plate 221 is provided with guide protrusions 2211, and the shaping groove 11 is provided with guide holes 112 for the guide protrusions 222 to slide. The aluminum alloy clamping plate is slidably positioned in the guide holes of the shaping groove through the guide protrusions, thereby ensuring that the aluminum alloy clamping plate can reliably operate within the shaping box, and the guide holes can also play a heat dissipation role, thus facilitating the heat dissipation of the miniature circuit breaker housing within the shaping box. The shaping box 1 is made of aluminum alloy, and several heat dissipation grooves 113 are respectively provided on the inner wall of the shaping groove 11 of the shaping box 1. The heat dissipation grooves within the shaping groove facilitate the heat dissipation of the miniature circuit breaker housing within the shaping groove.
[0024] The outer wall of the shaping box 1 is provided with heat dissipation copper fins 114. The heat dissipation copper fins have good thermal conductivity, which is conducive to heat dissipation of the miniature circuit breaker housing inside the shaping box and helps to improve the shaping quality of the miniature circuit breaker housing.
[0025] Example 2 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the screw portion 212 is connected to the guide sleeve 23 via the guide protrusion 213, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the screw portion 212 has a guide protrusion 213 at its tail end, and the guide sleeve 23 has a guide groove 231 within it for the guide protrusion 213 to slide. The screw portion 212 drives the guide protrusion 213 to reciprocate within the guide groove 231. The screw portion is engaged within the guide sleeve by the guide protrusion, thereby facilitating the assembly of the guide sleeve and the screw portion and ensuring more reliable transmission between the guide sleeve and the screw portion.
[0026] A buffer spring is added to the shaping clamp to effectively reduce the impact force of the shaping clamp on the miniature circuit breaker housing, preventing damage to the housing due to excessive impact. This positioning fixture adopts a pneumatic drive structure design, which is convenient to operate and has high shaping efficiency. The shaping box and aluminum alloy clamp are made of aluminum alloy. The thermally conductive silicone buffer pad inside the shaping box provides heat dissipation and cushioning, thus facilitating heat dissipation of the miniature circuit breaker housing and preventing damage to the housing from the shaping box.
