[0035] Based on the above, this utility model also has the following embodiments:
[0036] In a further embodiment of this utility model, the multi-station fixture can clamp multiple transfer boxes simultaneously, enabling continuous processing of multiple stations through a single clamping, greatly reducing the number of clamping operations and machine tool idle time, and improving production efficiency.
[0037] In a further embodiment of this utility model, the multi-station fixture adopts a high-precision positioning and clamping device, which can ensure the positional accuracy and stability of the transfer box during the processing, thereby effectively controlling the positional accuracy between each processing surface and improving product quality.
[0038] In a further embodiment of this utility model, the positioning and clamping device includes four-axis left indexing plate 1 and four-axis right indexing plate 10 for four-axis rotational positioning of the worktable 13, locking positioning of the end gear plate, assembly positioning between the transfer case and the product positioning block 7 through the rhomboid positioning pin 6 and the circular positioning pin 8, and clamping positioning of the transfer case by the retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 4.
[0039] In a further embodiment of this utility model, the left indexing plate 1 and the right indexing plate 10 of the four-axis enable the worktable 13 and the multiple transfer cases mounted on it to rotate in four-quarters; the same side end face of the multiple transfer cases can be processed separately or simultaneously. The indexing plate structure ensures that the processing surface and processing angle of the multiple transfer cases in different batches are consistent.
[0040] In a further embodiment of this utility model, both the first driving device and the second driving device can be electric driving mechanisms, such as motors, or other driving mechanisms with high precision and easy control, such as hydraulic driving mechanisms. Structurally, they can be combined with gear transmission mechanisms or worm gear transmission mechanisms to achieve transmission.
[0041] In a further embodiment of this utility model, the third driving device may be an electric push rod or a hydraulic push rod to realize the displacement of the end gear plate along the length direction of the worktable 13.
[0042] In a further embodiment of this utility model, by setting an end gear plate, the third driving device drives the end gear plate to move along the length direction of the worktable 13 until the end gear plate meshes with the right side L plate 9 of the four-axis. During use, when the first driving device and the second driving device synchronously drive the worktable 13 to rotate, after the end faces of the multiple transfer cases to be processed rotate to the processing position, the third driving device drives the end gear plate to move and mesh with the right side L plate 9 of the four-axis. Under the action of the end gear plate, the worktable 13 is limited and cannot rotate. At this time, the end faces of the multiple transfer cases can be processed without worrying about the worktable 13 rotating during the processing, which improves the processing accuracy of the multiple transfer cases and reduces the defect rate.
[0043] In a further embodiment of this invention, the displacement of the end gear disc can be achieved by a third driving device via a lead screw.
[0044] In a further embodiment of this utility model, multiple non-driving components of the clamping device are made of high-strength cast steel alloy and undergo aging treatment to eliminate internal stress, ensuring that they will not deform during long-term use. The worktable 13 is designed as a flat plate structure, and the bottom of the four-axis left indexing plate 1 and the four-axis right indexing plate 10 are equipped with clamping positioning pins, which can be quickly and efficiently mounted on the machine tool's worktable to ensure the positioning accuracy of the transfer case clamping device.
[0045] In a further embodiment of this utility model, considering the complex external structure of the transfer case, the positioning device adopts a "one-face, two-pin" positioning method. A precision-machined positioning plane, namely the upper surface of the product positioning block 7, is set on the fixture worktable. The surface roughness reaches 30μm, which fits against the reference surface of the transfer case, providing stable support. At the same time, two high-precision positioning pins, one circular positioning pin 8 and the other diamond-shaped positioning pin 6, are inserted into the pre-designed positioning holes on the transfer case. The fit tolerance between the positioning pins and the positioning holes is controlled within ±0.02mm, ensuring that the positioning accuracy of the transfer case on the fixture reaches ±0.02mm, meeting the high-precision machining requirements.
[0046] In a further embodiment of this utility model, the clamping device adopts a mechanical clamping method to provide a stable and adjustable clamping force. By designing the arrangement of the hydraulic cylinders 4, clamping points are evenly distributed at each station to ensure that the clamping force is always in the optimal state.
[0047] In a further embodiment of this utility model, the workflow and principle are as follows:
[0048] First, the transfer case is placed on the product positioning block 7 of the fixture, ensuring that the reference surface of the transfer case aligns with the positioning plane, thus completing the initial positioning. Next, the hydraulic system is activated, and the hydraulic cylinder 4 pushes the clamping block to clamp the transfer case, ensuring it is firmly fixed during processing. After processing at one station is completed, the control system issues a command to rotate the worktable 13, moving the next workpiece to the processing position. The end gear plate disengages during rotation, and re-engages upon reaching the designated station, achieving precise indexing and positioning.
[0049] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
