Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical processing technology, specifically to a multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of machining, the workpieces placed on the worktable of the machining equipment often need to be effectively supported and fixed to ensure the stability and accuracy of the machining process. However, in actual production, there are many problems that need to be solved.

[0003] Many workpieces to be processed have irregular shapes and uneven bottoms. For example, in the aerospace field, some complex aerospace components, such as local structural parts of wings, may have multiple curved surfaces and irregular grooves at their bottoms, making it difficult to effectively fix them using traditional planar support methods. In the automotive manufacturing industry, the cylinder block of a car engine has multiple complex cavities and protrusions inside, and its bottom shape is also extremely irregular. If the support is not properly provided during processing, it is easy to cause shaking and displacement, affecting processing accuracy and even leading to the scrapping of parts. Traditional support methods are often unable to meet the support requirements of these workpieces and cannot achieve effective multi-point support at the bottom of the workpiece to be processed. A single, fixed support structure cannot flexibly adapt to the bottom of workpieces with different shapes and heights, which may cause the workpiece to shake or shift during processing, seriously affecting processing quality and even potentially causing safety accidents.

[0004] Meanwhile, the existing support devices have obvious shortcomings in terms of adjustment. On the one hand, the position adjustment of the support points is not flexible and convenient enough, making it difficult to quickly and accurately place the support points in the appropriate positions according to the specific shape and size of the workpiece. On the other hand, the support height is difficult to adjust, making it difficult to conveniently adjust the height of the support points to adapt to the undulations at the bottom of the workpiece, resulting in poor adaptability to different workpieces.

[0005] Furthermore, existing support mechanisms lack versatility. A single support device is typically only suitable for specific types or size ranges of workpieces. When faced with workpieces of different specifications and shapes, different support devices need to be replaced. This not only increases equipment costs but also reduces production efficiency, failing to meet the flexibility and efficiency requirements of modern production for processing multiple varieties and small batches of workpieces.

[0006] Therefore, developing a multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism that can flexibly adapt to the bottom of workpieces of different shapes and uneven heights, achieve effective support at multiple points, and is easy to adjust and highly versatile has important practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism. This mechanism provides effective support at multiple points on the bottom of the workpiece to be processed, preventing the workpiece from shaking or shifting during processing, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the processing, and reducing the occurrence of safety accidents.

[0008] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism is used to assist in supporting and fixing a workpiece to be processed on a worktable of a processing equipment. Several T-slots are evenly distributed parallel to the length of the worktable. The mechanism includes a crossbeam, support rods, a crossbeam locking assembly, and support rod locking elements. Several crossbeams are provided, each capable of sliding linearly along the T-slots. Each crossbeam has several adjustable-length support rods that can slide linearly along the length of the crossbeam. The crossbeam locking assembly is used to lock and fix the crossbeam to the worktable after its position relative to the T-slots is adjusted. The support rod locking elements are used to lock and fix the support rods to the crossbeams after their position relative to the crossbeams is adjusted.

[0009] The bottom of the crossbeam is equipped with a T-shaped block that fits with the T-slot of the worktable.

[0010] The support rod consists of a first T-head bolt and a sleeve. A threaded hole that mates with the first T-head bolt is provided at the center of the bottom of the sleeve. The length of the support rod can be adjusted by rotating the sleeve to adjust the relative position of the sleeve and the first T-head bolt.

[0011] A rotating operating block is fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the sleeve, and a rotating operating hole is provided at the end of the rotating operating block. The pry bar is inserted into the rotating operating hole to facilitate rotating the sleeve.

[0012] The top of the sleeve is provided with a push rod mounting hole, and a push rod is installed in the push rod mounting hole with clearance fit. The top of the push rod is provided with a ball head structure.

[0013] The top of the crossbeam is provided with a crossbeam T-slot that mates with the T-head of the first T-head bolt.

[0014] The locking element for the support rod is the first nut, which is threaded into the first T-head bolt. After the position of the support rod relative to the crossbeam is adjusted, the first nut is screwed onto the upper surface of the crossbeam to lock the support rod to the crossbeam.

[0015] The crossbeam locking assembly includes a second T-head bolt, a second nut, and a pressure plate. The T-head of the second T-head bolt is installed in the T-slot of the worktable. The stud of the second T-head bolt passes through the pressure plate and is tightened with the second nut. The pressure plate presses against the upper surface of the crossbeam.

[0016] The width of the T-head of the second T-head bolt is smaller than the width of the upper slot of the T-slot on the worktable, and the length of the T-head of the second T-head bolt is greater than the width of the upper slot of the T-slot on the worktable. The length of the T-head of the second T-head bolt is smaller than the width of the lower slot of the T-slot on the worktable. During installation, the T-head of the second T-head bolt can pass from the upper slot to the lower slot of the T-slot on the worktable and then rotate 90° to lock into the lower slot.

[0017] The pressure plate is either a straight plate or a bent plate with grooves that matches the shape of the crossbeam.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model discloses a multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism. By setting up several crossbeams, and each crossbeam is equipped with several support rods of adjustable length, the mechanism can arrange support points at different positions on the bottom of the workpiece according to the irregular shape and unevenness of the bottom of the workpiece. This achieves multi-point effective support for the bottom of the workpiece, avoids shaking or displacement of the workpiece during processing, ensures the stability and accuracy of the processing, and reduces the occurrence of safety accidents.

[0019] 2. The present invention discloses a multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism. The support point position of the multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism is flexible and convenient to adjust. The crossbeam can slide linearly along the T-slot of the worktable, and the support rod can slide linearly along the length of the crossbeam. This allows the support point to be quickly and accurately arranged in a suitable position according to the specific shape and size of the workpiece, meeting the support requirements of workpieces of different shapes and improving the flexibility and adaptability of the support.

[0020] 3. The present invention discloses a multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism. The support height of the multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism is convenient to adjust. The support rod is composed of a first T-head bolt and a sleeve. By rotating the sleeve, the relative position of the sleeve and the first T-head bolt can be adjusted, thereby conveniently adjusting the length of the support rod to adapt to the undulations of the bottom of the workpiece and achieve effective support for workpieces of different heights.

[0021] 4. The present invention discloses a multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism. This multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism is highly versatile and can flexibly adapt to workpieces of different shapes and uneven heights. One support device can be used for workpieces of various specifications and shapes, without the need to replace different support devices due to changes in workpiece specifications and shapes. This reduces equipment costs, improves production efficiency, and meets the requirements of flexibility and high efficiency in modern production for processing multiple varieties and small batches of workpieces.

[0022] 5. The present invention discloses a multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism, which is easy to operate. A rotating operating block is fixedly set on the outer periphery of the sleeve, and a rotating operating hole is set at the end of the rotating operating block.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism is used to assist in supporting and fixing the workpiece 100 to be processed, which is placed on the worktable 200 of the processing equipment. Besides being suitable for processing aerospace parts and automotive engine blocks as mentioned in the background art, this mechanism can also adapt to various other scenarios. In the mold manufacturing industry, the cavities and cores of molds have complex and diverse shapes, irregular bottom shapes, and large height differences. Using this multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism, the position and length of the crossbeam 300 and support rod 400 can be flexibly adjusted according to the specific shape of the mold, providing stable and reliable support for the mold, ensuring the accuracy of the mold during processing, and improving the quality and service life of the mold. In the shipbuilding field, large structural components of ships, such as hull plates, are large in size and irregular in shape, requiring effective support during processing. This mechanism can expand the support range by increasing the number of crossbeams 300 and support rods 400 to adapt to the large size characteristics of hull plates. At the same time, it can accurately arrange support points according to the irregular shape of the plates, ensuring that the plates do not deform during processing, thus improving the quality and efficiency of shipbuilding.

[0026] The mechanism mainly includes a crossbeam 300, a support rod 400, a crossbeam locking assembly 500, and a support rod locking element. Several worktable T-slots 210 are evenly distributed parallel to each other along the length of the worktable 200 of the processing equipment. Several crossbeams 300 are provided and can slide linearly along the worktable T-slots 210. Several adjustable-length support rods 400 are provided on each crossbeam 300, and the support rods 400 can slide linearly along the length of the crossbeam 300.

[0027] The bottom of the crossbeam 300 is provided with a T-block 320 that is clearance-fitted with the T-slot 210 of the worktable. Through the cooperation between the T-block 320 and the T-slot 210 of the worktable, the crossbeam 300 can slide linearly on the T-slot 210 of the worktable.

[0028] The top of the crossbeam 300 is provided with a crossbeam T-slot 310.

[0029] The support rod 400 consists of a first T-head bolt 410 and a sleeve 420. A screw hole 421 that mates with the first T-head bolt 410 is provided at the bottom center of the sleeve 420. The relative position of the sleeve 420 and the first T-head bolt 410 can be adjusted by rotating the sleeve 420, thereby adjusting the length of the support rod 400.

[0030] Specifically, the first T-head bolt 410 and sleeve 420 are made of high-strength alloy steel. The support rod 400 can withstand a large weight. For example, in some medium-scale machining operations, for workpieces weighing several hundred kilograms to about one ton, this support rod 400 can provide stable and reliable support. In practical applications, to ensure the safety and stability of the support, the number and position of the support rods 400 need to be reasonably arranged according to the weight of the workpiece 100. If the workpiece is heavy, the number of support rods 400 should be increased appropriately, and it should be ensured that each support rod 400 can bear the weight evenly to avoid local overload. At the same time, when adjusting the length of the support rod 400, it is necessary to ensure that the connection between the sleeve 420 and the first T-head bolt 410 is firm to prevent loosening during the load-bearing process, which would affect the support effect.

[0031] A rotating operating block 440 is fixedly provided on the outer periphery of the sleeve 420. A rotating operating hole 441 is provided at the end of the rotating operating block 440. The sleeve 420 can be easily rotated by inserting a pry bar into the rotating operating hole 441.

[0032] The top of the sleeve 420 is provided with a push rod mounting hole 422, and a push rod 430 is installed in the push rod mounting hole 422 with clearance fit. The top of the push rod 430 is provided with a ball head structure. When the sleeve 420 rotates, the push rod 430 and the sleeve 420 rotate relative to each other, while the push rod 430 and the workpiece 100 to be processed remain relatively fixed.

[0033] The locking element of the support rod is the first nut 450, which is threadedly engaged with the first T-head bolt 410.

[0034] The crossbeam locking assembly 500 includes a second T-head bolt 510, a second nut 520, and a pressure plate 530. The T-head of the second T-head bolt 510 is installed in the T-slot 210 of the workbench. The stud portion of the second T-head bolt 510 passes through the pressure plate 530 and is tightened by the second nut 520. The pressure plate 530 presses against the upper surface of the crossbeam 300.

[0035] The width of the T-head of the second T-head bolt 510 is smaller than the upper groove width of the T-slot 210 of the workbench, and the length is greater than the upper groove width of the T-slot 210 of the workbench and smaller than the lower groove width of the T-slot 210 of the workbench. During installation, the T-head of the second T-head bolt 510 can pass from the upper groove of the T-slot 210 of the workbench to the lower groove and then rotate 90° to lock into the lower groove.

[0036] The pressure plate 530 is a straight plate or a bent plate with grooves that matches the shape of the crossbeam 300.

[0037] The organization's working process is as follows: 1. Adjustment and fixing of the crossbeam position: According to the size and shape of the workpiece 100 to be processed, several crossbeams 300 are slid to a suitable position along the worktable T-slot 210 on the worktable 200 of the processing equipment via the bottom T-blocks 320; After the position of the crossbeam 300 is adjusted, it is fixed using the crossbeam locking assembly 500. First, the T-head of the second T-head bolt 510 is passed from the upper slot to the lower slot of the T-slot 210 of the worktable, and then rotated 90° to lock it in the lower slot. Next, the pressure plate 530 is placed on the stud part of the second T-head bolt 510 and pressed against the upper surface of the crossbeam 300. Finally, the second nut 520 is tightened to lock and fix the crossbeam 300 on the worktable 200 of the processing equipment.

[0038] 2. Adjustment and fixing of support rod position: Insert the T-head of the first T-head bolt 410 of the support rod 400 into the crossbeam T-slot 310 at the top of the crossbeam 300, so that the support rod 400 can slide linearly along the length of the crossbeam 300. According to the support requirements of the workpiece 100 to be processed, the support rod 400 is slid to a suitable position. After the position of the support rod 400 is adjusted, the first nut 450 is screwed onto the first T-head bolt 410 and screwed against the upper surface of the crossbeam 300 to lock the support rod 400 and the crossbeam 300.

[0039] 3. Support rod length adjustment: If the length of the support rod 400 needs to be adjusted, insert the pry bar into the rotation operation hole 441 at the end of the rotation operation block 440 and rotate the sleeve 420. Since the bottom center of the sleeve 420 is provided with a screw hole 421 that mates with the first T-head bolt 410, rotating the sleeve 420 can adjust the relative position of the sleeve 420 and the first T-head bolt 410, thereby adjusting the length of the support rod 400. This allows the top ball head structure of the push rod 430 to contact the workpiece 100 to be processed and provide appropriate support force. During the rotation of the sleeve 420, the push rod 430 and the sleeve 420 rotate relative to each other, while the push rod 430 and the workpiece 100 remain relatively fixed, ensuring the stability of the support.

[0040] Through the above steps, the multi-purpose auxiliary support mechanism can flexibly adjust the position and length of the crossbeam 300 and the support rod 400 according to the size and shape of different workpieces 100 to be processed, so as to provide stable and reliable auxiliary support for the workpieces 100 to be processed.
