Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical processing equipment technology, specifically to a tooling for calibrating and inspecting the rear subframe of an automobile. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, Al-Si alloy subframes are mainly available in two types: split and integral. Both split and integral castings are highly susceptible to deformation during casting, placement, and subsequent heat treatment. This leads to issues such as thin walls, misaligned holes, and lack of surface finish during machining, impacting processing efficiency and wasting costs. Existing technologies can only reduce deformation during heat treatment; they cannot effectively correct deformation that has already occurred before heat treatment. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing a tooling for the calibration and testing of a car rear subframe.
[0004] This utility model includes a straightening table, on which are respectively provided a pair of end positioning seats, a bushing positioning seat, a pair of end clamping cylinders, a bushing clamping cylinder, a pair of X-axis straightening cylinders, a pair of Y-axis straightening cylinders, a pair of bushing hole straightening cylinders and a Z-axis straightening cylinder.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0020] As shown in the attached figure, this utility model includes a straightening table 1, on which a pair of end positioning seats 2, a bushing positioning seat 3, a pair of end clamping cylinders 4, a bushing clamping cylinder 5, a pair of X-axis straightening cylinders 6, a pair of Y-axis straightening cylinders 7, a pair of bushing hole straightening cylinders 8 and a Z-axis straightening cylinder 9 are respectively provided. A set of go and no-go gauges 10 are respectively provided on the straightening table 1 located at the workpiece bushing and lug.
[0021] A pair of end clamping cylinders 4 are located on one side of the corresponding end positioning seat 2, and a bushing clamping cylinder 5 is located on one side of the bushing positioning seat 3. Each pair of end positioning seats 2 is provided with an X-axis positioning screw 11, and one of the end positioning seats 2 is provided with a Y-axis positioning screw 12.
[0022] The rear subframe of the automobile mentioned below is referred to as the workpiece. The workpiece in this case has a left-right symmetrical structure. In this case, the bushing positioning seat 3 is located on the lower left of the calibration table 1, the Z-axis calibration cylinder 9 is located on the lower right of the calibration table 1, a pair of end positioning seats 2 are located on the upper left and upper right of the calibration table 1 respectively, and the Y-axis positioning screw 12 is installed on the end positioning seat 2 located on the upper right.
[0023] The workpiece is positioned and supported by three points: a pair of end positioning seats 2 and a bushing positioning seat 3. A pair of X-axis positioning screws 11 lock the workpiece from the X-axis direction, and a pair of Y-axis positioning screws 12 lock the workpiece from the Y-axis direction. Then, a pair of end clamping cylinders 4 and bushing clamping cylinders 5 clamp and fix the workpiece downward from the Z-axis direction.
[0024] In this case, both the end clamping cylinder 4 and the bushing clamping cylinder 5 are lever cylinders. The figure shown is a schematic diagram and does not represent the final form of the cylinder.
[0025] A pair of X-axis straightening cylinders 6 and a pair of Y-axis straightening cylinders 7 are activated to straighten the overall frame of the workpiece from the X-axis and Y-axis directions respectively. The go / no-go gauge 10 located at the lower left detects the deformation of the corresponding bushing. Then, the bushing hole straightening cylinder 8 at the lower left is activated to straighten the bushing at the lower left.
[0026] Similarly, the deformation of the corresponding bushing is detected by the go / no-go gauge 10 at the lower right, and then the bushing hole straightening cylinder 8 at the lower right is activated to straighten the bushing at the lower right.
[0027] The Z-axis straightening cylinder 9 is activated to straighten the bushing in the lower right direction along the Z-axis. The go / no-go gauge 10, located at the lug, inspects the two lugs of the workpiece. After the entire straightening process is completed, any parts that are still deformed are straightened a second time using a pair of X-axis straightening cylinders 6 and a pair of Y-axis straightening cylinders 7 until the workpiece meets the standard.
[0028] Preferably, a pair of end positioning seats 2 are symmetrically mounted on the calibration table 1. The end positioning seats 2 are provided with positioning grooves, and a pair of X-axis positioning screws 11 are respectively mounted on one side of the corresponding end positioning seats 2 through connecting seats 13.
[0029] The top cross-section of the positioning groove is L-shaped, meaning that the two adjacent inner sides are open. After the end of the workpiece is placed in the positioning groove, it is positioned by the L-shaped side wall. The X-axis positioning screw 11 and the Y-axis positioning screw 12 clamp the end of the workpiece horizontally from the inside. Then, a pair of end clamping cylinders 4 clamp the end of the workpiece from the top.
[0030] Preferably, a pair of X-axis alignment cylinders 6, a pair of Y-axis alignment cylinders 7, and a pair of bushing hole alignment cylinders 8 are symmetrically mounted on the alignment table 1. The piston rods of the X-axis alignment cylinders 6 and the bushing hole alignment cylinders 8 are provided with vertical sliding grooves, and a U-shaped correction plate 15 with an opening facing downwards is slidably connected in the vertical sliding grooves.
[0031] The U-shaped correction plate 15 is a movable part. When the workpiece is positioned and installed, the U-shaped correction plate 15 is removed from the vertical slide. After the workpiece is positioned, the U-shaped correction plate 15 is inserted into the vertical slide, with the bottom opening inserted into the workpiece. The workpiece is then shaped horizontally by driving the corresponding hydraulic cylinder.
[0032] Furthermore, the Z-axis alignment cylinder 9 is installed at the bottom of the alignment table 1 opposite to the bushing positioning seat 3. The piston rod of the Z-axis alignment cylinder 9 is detachably connected to an alignment seat 16 extending into the top of the alignment table 1, and an alignment rod 17 is movably connected to the alignment seat 16.
[0033] In this case, the Z-axis alignment cylinder 9 and the lower right bushing hole alignment cylinder 8 work together to align the bushing at the lower right of the workpiece. Therefore, during horizontal alignment, the alignment rod 17 is removed, and the Z-axis alignment cylinder 9 controls the alignment seat 16 to retract downwards, making room for the bushing hole. This allows the U-shaped correction plate 15 of the lower right bushing hole alignment cylinder 8 to extend into the bushing hole for alignment. After horizontal alignment is completed, the corresponding U-shaped correction plate 15 is removed, and then the Z-axis alignment cylinder 9 controls the alignment seat 16 to extend upwards into the bushing hole. The alignment rod 17 is then inserted into the alignment seat 16, positioned above the bushing. The Z-axis alignment cylinder 9 then moves up and down to align the bushing in the Z-axis direction.
[0034] Furthermore, the piston rod of the Z-axis alignment cylinder 9 is provided with a slide block 18, the bottom of the alignment seat 16 is provided with a slider that cooperates with the slide block 18, the top of the alignment seat 16 is provided with an alignment rod mounting hole, and the alignment rod 17 is movably inserted into the alignment rod mounting hole.
[0035] Both the alignment base 16 and the alignment rod 17 are movable parts, which facilitates position adjustment and installation / removal.
[0036] Preferably, the go / no-go gauge 10 located at the workpiece lug is movably mounted on the alignment table 1 via a hinge support 20. When the workpiece is installed, positioned, or removed, the go / no-go gauge 10 at the lug can be flipped outward to avoid the installation path of the workpiece, facilitating quick installation and removal.
