Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine parts technology, specifically to a forging and unloading fixture for an engine flywheel gear ring. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of engine flywheel gear rings, forging is a crucial step in ensuring their mechanical properties, and the loading and unloading operations during forging directly affect production efficiency, workpiece quality, and operational safety. Currently, the loading and unloading of flywheel gear ring forging largely relies on specialized fixtures for automated or semi-automated operations, but existing fixtures still have the following shortcomings in practical applications:
[0003] (1) Insufficient clamping stability: The flywheel gear ring is in a high-temperature state during forging and is mostly a thin-walled annular structure. The existing clamping components often have unreasonable structural design, resulting in uneven clamping force distribution, which can easily cause the workpiece to slip or deform locally, affecting the subsequent forging accuracy.
[0004] (2) Poor adaptability: The flywheel gear rings of different models have different sizes. The existing clamping unit positions are mostly fixed structures, which are difficult to adjust quickly to adapt to various specifications of workpieces. The clamps need to be changed frequently, which increases the production preparation time and cost.
[0005] Therefore, given the specific requirements of the engine flywheel gear ring forging process, how to develop a stable and adaptable loading and unloading fixture is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.
[0006] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] See Figures 1-5 To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this utility model provides a forging and unloading fixture for an engine flywheel gear ring to solve the aforementioned technical problems. The technical solution is as follows:
[0028] A forging and unloading fixture for an engine flywheel gear ring is characterized by comprising: a cylinder 110, two frame plates 160, two clamping arms 130, an adjusting plate 120, and two clamping units.
[0029] Two frame plates 160 are fixedly connected to the cylinder body end of the cylinder 110 in parallel and at intervals, and are respectively located on both sides of the drive rod 111 of the cylinder 110.
[0030] Two clamping arms 130 are symmetrically arranged between two frame plates 160. Each clamping arm 130 includes a vertical bar and a horizontal bar 131 connected to each other. The inner side of the vertical bar of each clamping arm 130 is hinged to the frame plate 160 through a pin 115 fixed between the two frame plates 160.
[0031] The adjusting plate 120 is located between two frame plates 160, and its bottom middle position is fixedly connected to the end of the drive rod 111 of the cylinder 110. Two symmetrically distributed and figure-eight-shaped limiting holes 121 are provided on the adjusting plate 120.
[0032] The lower ends of the vertical rods of the two clamping arms 130 are respectively connected to the corresponding elongated limiting holes 121 by pins 116. Pins 116 can slide back and forth along the length of the elongated limiting holes 121.
[0033] Two gripping units are fixedly connected to the crossbars 131 of the two gripping arms 130 to cooperate in gripping the engine flywheel ring gear.
[0034] In this embodiment, the clamping unit includes a fixing plate 140 and a roller 150 fixed to the outside of the fixing plate 140; an annular clamping groove is provided on the peripheral wall of the roller 150.
[0035] It should be noted that the roller 150 was chosen as the clamping structure of the clamping unit because the annular clamping groove on the circumferential wall of the roller 150 can accurately fit the annular outer edge of the flywheel gear ring. This not only forms a radial limit on the gear ring through the groove to prevent the workpiece from slipping during clamping, but also allows the clamping force to be evenly distributed along the groove surface, avoiding deformation of the thin-walled gear ring due to excessive local force under high temperature conditions. At the same time, the roller structure can also reduce frictional damage to the surface of the gear ring during clamping and transportation.
[0036] In this embodiment, a plurality of mounting holes 132 are spaced apart on the crossbar 131; the fixing plate 140 is detachably fixed to the mounting holes 132 on the crossbar 131 by screws, and the fixing plate 140 can be adjusted in position by selecting different mounting holes 132.
[0037] It should be noted that by selecting different positions of the mounting holes 132, the distance between the two clamping units can be changed, thereby adapting to flywheel gear rings with different outer diameter specifications, and meeting the production needs of multiple models without replacing the entire set of fixtures.
[0038] In this embodiment, a long strip-shaped guide hole 113 is provided on the drive rod 111 along its axial direction; a guide rod 114 is fixedly connected between the two frame plates 160 at the position corresponding to the long strip-shaped guide hole 113, and the guide rod 114 passes through the long strip-shaped guide hole 113 and forms a sliding fit with the long strip-shaped guide hole 113.
[0039] In this embodiment, a reinforcing rod 112 is fixedly connected between the two frame plates 160 at their top positions to improve the structural strength of the connection between the two frame plates 160.
[0040] The present invention provides a method for storing a forging loading and unloading fixture for an engine flywheel gear ring, as follows:
[0041] (1) First, assemble this fixture on the drive end of the robotic arm. When the flywheel gear ring (hot forging billet or forged workpiece) to be clamped is sent to the clamping station, the robotic arm controls the two clamping units of the fixture to be placed into the gear ring of the flywheel gear ring.
[0042] (2) Control cylinder 110 drives rod 111 to extend, driving adjustment plate 120 to move forward; because the two long strip-shaped limiting holes 121 on adjustment plate 120 are in the shape of the number eight, during the movement, the second pin 116 will be driven to move to the outside of the limiting hole, forcing the two clamping arms 130 to rotate outward symmetrically around the first pin 115, so that the annular clamping groove of the roller 150 on the clamping unit fits the outer edge of the flywheel gear ring, realizing radial constraint.
[0043] (3) When the fixture carries the workpiece to the target station, the drive rod 111 of the control cylinder 110 drives the adjustment plate 120 to retract. At this time, the second pin 116 slides along the figure-eight limiting hole to the inner end point, and the clamping arm 130 rotates in the opposite direction around the first pin 115 under the pull of the adjustment plate to release the workpiece.
[0044] The device embodiments described above are merely illustrative. The units described as separate components may or may not be physically separate, and the components shown as units may or may not be physical units; they may be located in one place or distributed across multiple network units. Some or all of the modules can be selected to achieve the purpose of this embodiment according to actual needs.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal connection of two components or the interaction between two components. Unless otherwise explicitly limited, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
