Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of low-voltage electrical appliance processing technology, specifically to a milling fixture for irregularly shaped copper contacts. Background Technology

[0002] Irregularly shaped copper contacts are core conductive components in electrical equipment such as high-voltage circuit breakers, contactors, and switchgear. Their processing quality directly affects the conductivity, safety, and lifespan of the equipment. Irregularly shaped copper contacts generally have complex structures and require high-precision processing. For example, the stationary contacts of low-voltage molded case circuit breakers have symmetry requirements for the holes on both sides and the stepped surfaces.

[0003] The original machining center used flat-jaw pliers to clamp the rear face of irregularly shaped copper contacts, machining each face individually before drilling. This not only resulted in large errors in the overall width but also caused significant deviations in the symmetry of the two sides and the stepped surfaces relative to the holes, leading to low work efficiency. The shortcomings of the existing technology are as follows: Positioning and clamping challenges: Irregularly shaped parts cannot be stably positioned by traditional vises, clamping plates, and other general-purpose fixtures, and are prone to displacement or vibration due to cutting forces during processing.

[0004] Deformation is a prominent issue: copper parts have a large coefficient of thermal expansion and low hardness. During machining, cutting heat and clamping force can easily cause workpiece deformation, affecting dimensional accuracy and geometric tolerances.

[0005] Efficiency versus precision is contradictory: to prevent deformation, small cutting amounts and multiple clamping operations are often used, resulting in long machining cycles; however, pursuing efficiency can easily sacrifice precision. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a milling fixture for irregularly shaped copper contacts. This fixture is characterized by its compact structure, convenient operation, and high efficiency. It solves the problems of precise positioning, reliable clamping, and deformation prevention during the machining of irregularly shaped, small, and easily deformable copper parts.

[0007] The above-mentioned technical problems of this utility model are mainly solved by the following technical solutions: A milling fixture for irregularly shaped copper contacts includes a base plate. Several irregularly shaped copper contacts are provided on the base plate at its front end. A positioning block is provided between the rear end of the irregularly shaped copper contacts and the base plate, and the rear end of the base plate is provided with a pressure plate for pressing and limiting the irregularly shaped copper contacts. A floating rod is provided between the front end of the irregularly shaped copper contacts and the base plate, and a self-locking nut is provided at the lower part of the base plate that is threadedly connected to the floating rod.

[0008] Preferably, the pressure plate is provided with a top rod that is threadedly connected to the bottom plate at its rear end, the pressure plate is provided with an oval hole in the middle, and the top rod and the positioning block are provided with a screw that passes through the oval hole and is threadedly connected to the bottom plate.

[0009] Preferably, the upper end of the pressure plate and the bottom plate are provided with locking nuts that are threadedly connected to the screw, and the bottom plate is provided with locking nuts that are threadedly connected to the top rod.

[0010] Preferably, a spring washer that engages with the screw is provided between the locking nut and the pressure plate.

[0011] Preferably, the base plate is provided with a spring that is sleeved with the floating rod.

[0012] Preferably, the irregularly shaped copper contact is provided with a positioning pin that is inserted into the positioning block.

[0013] Preferably, both sides of the front end of the base plate are provided with locking screws that are threadedly connected to the base plate and press against the floating rod.

[0014] This invention can achieve the following effects: This invention provides a milling fixture for irregularly shaped copper contacts, which, compared with existing technologies, features a compact structure, convenient operation, and good performance. It solves the problems of precise positioning, reliable clamping, and deformation prevention during the machining of irregularly shaped, small, and easily deformable copper parts.

[0015] High precision and high repeatability: The combination of positioning blocks and positioning pins enables precise positioning of the workpiece, making it suitable for mass production.

[0016] Effectively prevents deformation: The floating support mechanism provides a transition from flexibility to rigidity, avoiding pre-stress deformation during clamping while ensuring rigid support during processing, making it particularly suitable for soft materials such as copper.

[0017] Reliable clamping and good anti-loosening performance: It adopts multiple anti-loosening designs such as lever clamping, double locking nuts, and spring washers to ensure the stability of the workpiece in the milling vibration environment.

[0018] Good adaptability: The design of the oval hole and floating rod makes the tooling insensitive to the small tolerances of the workpiece size, reducing the accuracy requirements for tooling manufacturing and workpiece incoming materials.

[0019] Compact structure and easy operation: The entire tooling is integrated on the base plate, with a clear structure and reasonable positions of each adjustment component (top rod, screw, nut), which facilitates quick operation by workers. Attached Figure Description
