Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, specifically to a bolt clamping fixture. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrial manufacturing sector, bolts, as widely used basic fasteners, play a crucial role in connecting and securing components. However, not all bolts are manufactured using a uniform method; some bolts with specific structural types (such as...) Figure 4 For bolts shown, since the head needs to be shaped with irregular grooves, precise end faces or specific contours, conventional machining methods are difficult to meet the accuracy requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to use a machining center and strictly follow the design drawings to complete the head milling process.
[0003] Specifically, Figure 4 The head milling process of the bolt shown has two core technical requirements: First, when the milling tool of the machining center comes into contact with the bolt head, it will generate a directional cutting force. If the bolt clamping is unreliable, it is easy to cause axial displacement or circumferential rotation of the bolt, which will affect the product machining accuracy. Second, in industrial mass production scenarios, it is necessary to achieve simultaneous clamping and processing of multiple bolts to match the efficient operation rhythm of the machining center and avoid the production capacity bottleneck caused by low efficiency of single-station clamping and single-processing.
[0004] In summary, regarding Figure 4 The bolts shown here require milling of their heads by a machining center. How to develop a bolt clamping fixture that can meet the requirements of batch synchronous clamping, precise positioning, and adapt to the machining center's operation process is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0027] 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.
[0028] See Figures 1-7 To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this utility model provides a bolt clamping fixture to solve the aforementioned technical problems. The technical solution is as follows:
[0029] A bolt clamping fixture includes: a fixed base 110, a clamping plate 120, several chucks 130 and a cylinder 150;
[0030] The clamping plate 120 is positioned parallel above the fixing base 110, and a number of holes 121 are provided on the clamping plate 120 at intervals.
[0031] The cylinder 150 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed base 110, and the drive rod of the cylinder 150 passes vertically through the fixed base 110 and is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the clamping plate 120.
[0032] Several clamps 130 are fixed above the fixed base 110, and each clamp 130 is vertically inserted through the corresponding hole 121;
[0033] The clamp 130 is composed of multiple clamping petals 131 with arc-shaped cross sections arranged in a circular array, and a limiting flange 132 is provided on the outer side of the root of the clamping petals 131.
[0034] In this embodiment, the limiting flange 132 is provided around the outer side of the root of the single clamping lobe 131, and is constructed as a continuous, outwardly protruding annular structure along the contour of the arc-shaped cross section of the clamping lobe 131.
[0035] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the overall structure formed by the circular array of multiple clamping lobes 131 is smaller than the inner diameter of the channel 121, and the outer diameter of the limiting flange 132 is larger than the inner diameter of the channel 121.
[0036] It should be noted that the overall outer diameter of the array of multiple clamping petals 131 is smaller than the inner diameter of the channel 121, so that the clamping petals 131 can open naturally when the clamping plate 120 moves upward, leaving sufficient space for the bolt to be inserted into the clamp 130, and ensuring smooth batch feeding.
[0037] The outer diameter of the limiting flange 132 is larger than the inner diameter of the channel 121. When the clamping plate 120 moves down, the inner wall of the channel can precisely squeeze the limiting flange, causing the clamping disc to contract synchronously towards the center, ultimately achieving reliable clamping of the bolt.
[0038] In this embodiment, the clamping plate 120 is provided with a guide hole, and the fixing base 110 is fixedly connected with a guide post 160 that is configured to cooperate with the guide hole.
[0039] In this embodiment, a mounting base 170 is fixedly connected to each of the two sides of the fixed base 110.
[0040] In this embodiment, there are two cylinders 150. The two cylinders 150 are fixedly connected to the base 110 at intervals. The drive rod of each cylinder 150 passes vertically through the base 110 and is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the clamping plate 120.
[0041] The present invention provides a method for storing a bolt clamping fixture as follows:
[0042] (1) Fixture installation and positioning: First, the entire bolt clamping fixture is detachably fixed on the worktable of the machining center by the two mounting seats 170 fixed on both sides of the fixed seat 110, ensuring that the overall fixture is precisely aligned with the milling station of the machining center, providing a stable reference for subsequent bolt milling.
[0043] (2) Initial state preparation: After the tooling is installed, the drive rod of the control cylinder 150 is in the extended state. At this time, the drive rod of the cylinder 150 pushes the clamping plate 120 upward, so that the clamping plate 120 moves upward to the upper limit position along the guide column 160 fixed on the fixed seat 110. In this state, the multiple arc-shaped clamping petals 131 in the chuck 130 are not squeezed and remain in a naturally open state, leaving sufficient space for bolt loading.
[0044] (3) Bolt batch feeding: Insert the bolts to be milled head into the center holes of several chucks 130 one by one, so that the bolt shank extends downward along the channel formed by the chuck 131, and the bolt head is supported on the top surface of the chuck 130, thus completing the synchronous feeding of multiple bolts to meet the batch processing requirements. Figure 4 As shown.
[0045] (4) Bolt clamping and positioning: The control cylinder 150 retracts, and the drive rod of the cylinder 150 pulls the clamping plate 120 downward. At this time, the clamping plate 120 moves smoothly downward vertically under the guidance of the guide post 160 and the guide hole. As the clamping plate 120 moves downward, the inner wall of the channel 121 gradually contacts the limiting flange 132 on the outer side of the root of the clamping petal 131. The inner wall of the channel 121 will generate a radially inward squeezing force on the limiting flange 132. This force is transmitted to the clamping petal 131, causing multiple clamping petals 131 arranged in a circular array to contract synchronously towards the center until the inner wall of the clamping petal 131 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the bolt shank, thereby achieving axial positioning and circumferential clamping of the bolt and preventing displacement or rotation of the bolt during milling.
[0046] (5) Bolt head milling: After all bolts are clamped, the machining center starts according to the preset milling program. The milling cutter moves to the milling station corresponding to the fixture and mills the clamped bolt head. During the machining process, because the clamping force of the clamping plate 131 on the bolt is stable and the fixture is firmly fixed by the mounting base 170, the directional cutting force generated by the milling cutter can be effectively offset, ensuring that the bolt milling accuracy meets the drawing requirements.
[0047] (6) Unloading and Fixture Reset: After the bolt head is milled, the milling cutter of the machining center is reset; then the control cylinder 150 extends again, and the cylinder 150 drive rod pushes the clamping plate 120 upward along the guide post 160. The squeezing force of the inner wall of the channel 121 on the limiting flange 132 disappears, and the clamping plate 131 returns to its natural open state under its own elasticity, releasing the clamping of the bolt. Finally, the processed bolts are removed one by one from the chuck 130, and the fixture returns to its initial ready state, ready to enter the next batch of bolt processing cycle.
