Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold auxiliary parts processing technology, specifically to a tooling for batch clamping and processing of parts on the side. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing complexity of mold structures, product diversification, and intensifying market competition, mold forming cycles are becoming shorter. Product quality demands are driving more complex mold structures, and the rapid pace of product forming necessitates the increasing number and complexity of mold accessories (ejector blocks, inserts, internal ejectors, angled ejectors, pull blocks, etc.). These accessories often require multiple side-machining operations or multi-axis machining to complete, leading to low processing efficiency and high costs. The processing cycle of these accessories directly impacts the mold manufacturing cycle. Conventional side-machining typically employs single-part clamping, requiring machine downtime and workpiece calibration for each part processed, severely impacting processing efficiency and increasing costs.

[0003] Currently, the primary consideration for this processing method is cost. Due to the high unit price of multi-axis machine tools, three-axis machine tools are generally used whenever possible. However, the same part requires multiple flipping operations on a three-axis machine tool, significantly reducing processing efficiency. Multiple flipping operations also increase errors, affecting product quality. Furthermore, this multi-clamping and flipping processing method demands a high level of operator skill. In summary, the existing three-axis machine tool processing method has the following drawbacks: ① Conventional processing is done one part at a time, resulting in low efficiency. Using multi-axis CNC machine tools, however, increases processing costs; ② Each part requires centering and straight-line machining, which is tedious and consumes significant time and labor costs; ③ Multiple clamping operations can easily lead to cumulative errors, resulting in poor quality and precision of the machined parts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tooling for batch clamping and machining of parts on the side, which aims to solve the above-mentioned defects in the existing three-axis machine tool machining methods.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model designs a tooling for batch clamping and processing of parts on the side. The tooling includes at least a tooling plate, which is detachably connected to the machine tool worktable.

[0007] The tooling plate has several mounting slots arranged along the X-axis on opposite sides in the Y-axis direction. The two adjacent side walls of the mounting slots are perpendicular to each other. The bottom of the mounting slot is also provided with a fixing slot. The mounting slot is used to install parts. The parts are fixed in the mounting slot by connecting members connected to the fixing slot.

[0008] Furthermore, a tooling for batch clamping and processing of parts on the side: the tooling plate is provided with a through groove extending through both ends along the X-axis in the middle part, so that the tooling plate forms a "U" shaped structure.

[0009] Furthermore, a tooling for batch clamping and processing parts on the side: the mounting groove does not communicate with the through groove, while the fixing groove communicates with the through groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a tooling for batch clamping and machining of parts on the side: the machine tool worktable is provided with several connecting grooves parallel to the Y-axis direction, and the tooling plate is connected to different positions on the machine tool worktable through different connecting grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, a part side batch clamping machining fixture: the machining fixture further includes a clamping structure, which is detachably connected to the connecting groove for fixing the fixture plate to the machine tool worktable.

[0012] Furthermore, a tooling for batch clamping and machining of parts on the side: the clamping structure includes a pressure plate, a locking rod, and a pad. One end of the pressure plate overlaps the bottom of the through groove, and the other end is connected to the pad. The pad is used to abut against the machine tool worktable. One end of the locking rod passes through the pressure plate and is connected to the connecting groove. The pressure plate is used to press and fix the tooling plate to the machine tool worktable.

[0013] Furthermore, a tooling for batch clamping and machining of parts on the side: the locking rod is threadedly connected to the connecting groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This utility model designs a batch machining fixture for side clamping of parts. Multiple parts can be clamped at once and machined together using the fixture's reference surface as a reference. This eliminates the need for individual workpiece sizing, saving time on separate loading and tool changing, and significantly improving machining efficiency. In other words, this machining fixture can batch clamp parts for a single calibration, avoiding the repeated loading and unloading of individual parts, thus reducing loading and calibration time.

[0016] The tooling for batch processing of parts designed in this utility model does not need to be disassembled after calibration. Simply loosen the connecting parts (screws) on the tooling to fix the parts, and the processed parts can be taken out. Replace with new parts and continue processing. The entire process only requires straightening once and taking the center once according to the reference edge of the tooling. This center can be used for subsequent batch processing without repeating the centering and taking the center, which improves the utilization rate of machine tools, reduces calibration time, and saves labor costs.

[0017] The tooling for batch clamping and machining of parts using this invention only requires one rounding and straightening, avoiding the need for rounding and straightening of individual parts each time. This avoids the problem of cumulative errors caused by multiple clamping of parts and improves the accuracy of part machining. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment 1 designs a batch clamping and machining fixture for the side of a part. The machining fixture includes a fixture plate 1 and a clamping structure 3. The fixture plate 1 is detachably connected to the machine tool worktable 4 through the clamping structure 3. Specifically, the machine tool worktable 4 is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves 41 parallel to the Y-axis direction. The fixture plate 1 is detachably connected to different connecting grooves 41 through the clamping structure 3 to achieve connection to different positions on the machine tool worktable 4.

[0027] The tooling plate 1 has several mounting grooves 11 arranged along the X-axis on opposite sides in the Y-axis direction. The two adjacent side walls of the mounting groove 11 are perpendicular to each other. The bottom of the mounting groove 11 is provided with a fixing groove 12. The middle part of the tooling plate 1 is also provided with a through groove 13 that passes through both ends of it along the X-axis direction, so that the tooling plate 1 forms a "U" shaped structure. The mounting groove 11 does not communicate with the through groove 13. The fixing groove 12 communicates with the through groove 13. The mounting groove 11 is used to install the part 2. The part 2 is fixed in the mounting groove 11 by a connector (screw) connected to the fixing groove 12.

[0028] The clamping structure 3 includes a pressure plate 31, a locking rod 32, and a pad 33. One end of the pressure plate 31 overlaps the bottom of the through groove 13, and the other end is connected to the pad 33. The pad 33 is used to abut against the machine tool worktable 4. One end of the locking rod 32 passes through the pressure plate 31 and is threaded into the connecting groove 41. The pressure plate 31 clamps and fixes the tooling plate 1 to the machine tool worktable 4 through the locking rod 32 connected to the connecting groove 41.

[0029] Specifically, to optimize the rapid batch processing of parts, eliminate the need for straightening and number taking, improve processing efficiency and quality, and save labor costs, the processing fixture of Embodiment 1 was designed. In the processing fixture of Embodiment 1, the fixture plate 1 has three angle rulers as reference edges to calibrate the zero positions of the X, Y, and Z axes of the part to be processed. The fixture plate 1 has a through slot in the middle and is fixed to the machine tool table 4 by a pressure plate 31. The fixture plate 1 is provided with a mounting slot 11, and a fixing slot 12 is also provided in the mounting slot 11 to facilitate the fixing of the part 2 to be processed with connectors (screws). The four walls of the mounting slot 11 are set as right angles. The right angle reference edge of the part 2 to be processed fits against two adjacent right angle edges of the mounting slot 11, and the part 2 is fixed in the mounting slot 11 with connectors (screws) to ensure that it will not loosen. In Example 1, the tooling plate 1 can simultaneously mount multiple parts 2. In actual processing, it is only necessary to align the reference edges of the three squares of the tooling plate 1 as the processing origin, and fix the parts 2 to be processed in the mounting grooves 11 on both sides of the tooling plate 1 in sequence. The right-angle reference edges of all parts 2 are in contact with the sidewalls in the mounting grooves 11. The coordinates of these parts 2 can be fixed by calibrating the coordinates of the tooling plate 1.

[0030] Generally, the amount of machining required on the sides of parts is relatively small. The same machining tool can be used to machine all parts on fixture plate 1 simultaneously, reducing the time spent on repeated tool changes and tool settings. After all parts are machined, the connecting parts (screws) can be loosened to remove part 2. Then, the next batch of parts can be fixed in the mounting slot 11 for machining. The position of fixture plate 1 remains unchanged, and the origin positions of the X, Y, and Z axes remain the same. There is no need for further calibration and centering. Once the parts are fixed, machining can begin directly, improving machine tool utilization. All parts mounted on fixture plate 1 can be machined together using the same tool, eliminating the need for individual tool changes and settings, and the need for separate centering and straightening of each part. This enables batch production and rapid positioning and clamping, improving machining efficiency and saving labor costs. While manual clamping and calibration can also complete machining, it is inefficient and prone to cumulative errors, affecting the quality and accuracy of the machined parts.

[0031] This utility model designs a side-mounted batch processing fixture for parts, which can achieve the purpose of batch processing of parts and quick changeover, maximize equipment uptime, reduce the number of repeated clamping and calibration, improve production efficiency, reduce the workload of on-site operators, and reduce labor costs. This processing fixture is applicable to multiple workpieces of different sizes. This processing fixture can reduce the cumulative error caused by multiple clamping of parts and improve the processing accuracy of parts. The operation of this processing fixture is simple and does not require special skills from the operators; machine tool operators can complete rapid processing. The processing fixture has low cost and does not require the purchase of equipment.

[0032] The above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
