[0036] Example 1:

[0037] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-head drilling fixture for a segmented longitudinal flange and gasket, comprising:

[0038] A positioning fixture 1 is provided with a positioning groove 2. A longitudinal flange 100 and a gasket 200 are inserted into the positioning groove 2. A through hole 3 corresponding to the assembly hole 110 of the longitudinal flange 100 and the gasket 200 is provided through the side of the positioning fixture 1.

[0039] A positioning cover plate 4 is provided at the opening of the positioning groove 2 and pressed against the outside of the longitudinal flange 100 and the pad 200. It is detachably assembled on the positioning fixture 1. A number of limiting ribs 5 are provided at intervals on the positioning cover plate 4. The limiting ribs 5 are embedded in the first recess 120 on the outside of the longitudinal flange 100 and the pad 200.

[0040] The drilling mechanism includes a base plate 6, drill bits 7, hydraulic cylinders 8, and servo motors 9. Several drill bits 7 are rotatably connected to the base plate 6. The hydraulic cylinders 8 drive the base plate 6 to move toward or away from the positioning fixture 1. The servo motors 9 on the base plate 6 drive the drill bits 7 to rotate.

[0041] A protrusion 12 is provided at the end of the positioning groove 2, and the protrusion 12 is embedded in the gap between the ends of the longitudinal flange 100 and the pad 200. This improves the positioning strength between the positioning fixture 1 and the longitudinal flange 100 and the pad 200, so as to avoid workpiece displacement during drilling operations and thus prevent a decrease in drilling quality.

[0042] The substrate 6 slides onto several guide rails 23 at its bottom to improve the stability of the substrate 6 and the accuracy of the drilling operation of the drill bit 7 when drilling into or out of the longitudinal flange 100 and the pad 200.

[0043] The working principle of the multi-head drilling fixture for segmented longitudinal flanges and gaskets in this embodiment includes: This drilling fixture is used for drilling segmented longitudinal flanges and gaskets at the connection of internal components of wind turbine towers, so that the mounting holes 110 are formed. In use, the longitudinal flanges and gaskets are alternately placed into the positioning grooves 2 to complete the initial positioning. Then, the positioning cover plate 4 is assembled on the positioning fixture 1 so that it abuts against the outer side of the longitudinal flanges and gaskets. The limiting rib 5 is inserted into the first recess 120 to achieve secondary limiting. Through the above-mentioned multi-positioning structure design, the workpiece is positioned in multiple steps, reducing the positioning difficulty and improving the positioning strength. During drilling, the hydraulic cylinder 8 pushes the base plate 6 to gradually approach the positioning fixture 1, and the servo motor 9 drives the drill bit 7 to rotate. The drill bit 7 passes through the through hole 3 and drills into the longitudinal flange and gasket. After completion, the structure is reset, and the workpiece can be taken out. This improves the quality and processing efficiency of synchronous drilling of multiple longitudinal flanges and gaskets.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] Please see Figure 1 The figure shows a multi-head drilling fixture for a segmented longitudinal flange and gasket provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: a waste box 10 is provided on the other side of the positioning fixture 1 opposite to the drilling mechanism, and a collection trough 11 is provided on the waste box 10 so that the drilling waste discharged from the through hole 3 during drilling can be directly poured into the collection trough 11 for recycling.

[0046] Example 3:

[0047] Please see Figure 1-3The figure shows a multi-head drilling fixture for a segmented longitudinal flange and gasket provided in Embodiment 3 of this utility model. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solutions: a lifting plate 13 is slidably mounted at the bottom of the positioning groove 2, and a lifting block 14 on the side of the lifting plate 13 extends from a notch 15 on the side of the positioning groove 2 to the outside of the positioning fixture 1. This allows the workpiece to be removed after drilling simply by pushing the lifting block 14 upwards, which moves the lifting plate 13 upwards and pushes the workpiece out of the positioning groove 2 for removal. Furthermore, an elastic element is provided between the positioning groove 2 and the lifting plate 13 to automatically lift the workpiece after the positioning cover plate 4 is disengaged from the positioning fixture 1, improving unloading efficiency.

[0048] Example 4:

[0049] Please see Figure 1 , 4 Figure 5 shows a multi-head drilling fixture for a segmented longitudinal flange and gasket provided in Embodiment 4 of this utility model. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves the following technical solution: the positioning fixture 1 is provided with a second recess 16 corresponding to the limiting rib 5, so as to improve the positioning strength of the positioning cover plate 4 and the positioning fixture 1, thereby improving the positioning stability of the workpiece.

[0050] A hinge seat 17 is provided on one side of the positioning fixture 1, and a guide groove 18 is provided on the hinge seat 17. One end of the limiting rib 5 is movably disposed in the guide groove 18, and the ball shaft 19 at one end is rotatably embedded in the spherical groove 20 on the surface of the guide groove 18.

[0051] A buckle 21 is provided at the opposite end of the limiting rib 5, and the buckle 21 is engaged with the engaging protrusion 22 of the positioning fixture 1.

[0052] In this embodiment, the positioning cover plate 4 is assembled with the positioning fixture 1 by means of a limiting rib 5, which is hinged on one side and snapped on the other. During use, the positioning cover plate 4 is pushed, causing the limiting rib 5 to flip from the outside of the guide groove 18 to the inside. The ball shaft 19 rotates along the spherical groove 20, allowing the positioning cover plate 4, the limiting rib 5, and the workpiece to be positioned. Then, the buckle 21 is snapped into place with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 22, thus completing the workpiece positioning. When drilling is complete or the workpiece is being unloaded, the buckle 21 and snap-fit ​​protrusion 22 are unlocked, and the positioning cover plate 4 is flipped outwards to remove the workpiece. This makes the workpiece loading, positioning, and unloading operations more convenient.

[0053] Example 5:

[0054] Please see Figure 1The figure shows a multi-head drilling fixture for a segmented longitudinal flange and gasket provided in Embodiment 5 of this utility model. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: A single servo motor 9 is provided, with its output end connected to the drill bit 7. A transmission wheel 24 is provided on the drill bit 7, and a synchronous belt 25 is sleeved on the transmission wheel 24 of the adjacent drill bit 7. This enables a single servo motor 9 to drive the rotation of multiple drill bits 7, improving the synchronicity of the rotation of multiple drill bits 7, ensuring the stability and drilling quality of multi-hole synchronous drilling, and reducing the cost of the drive equipment.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
