Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical technology, specifically to a tooling for assisting an ultrasonic cutter in rapidly cutting an ECU. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of the steering gear control unit (ECU), the ECU housing needs to be cut open and its internal components are subject to routine spot checks to monitor the stability of the production process.

[0003] ECU casing cutting is primarily done manually. The ECU is clamped in a vise, and then an ultrasonic cutter is used to cut around the outer circumference of the ECU casing. During this process, the speed of the ultrasonic cutter is difficult to control, the cutting position on the surface of the ECU plastic casing is unstable, and a complete cut requires two cuts or two clamping operations, which is time-consuming and results in uneven cuts. In addition, there is a risk of cutting hands during the cutting process, and the operator must wear cut-resistant gloves, making the operation inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a tooling to assist ultrasonic cutter in quickly cutting ECUs, so as to achieve fast and uniform cutting, thereby improving cutting efficiency and reducing cutting safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a tooling for assisting ultrasonic cutters in quickly cutting ECUs, thereby achieving fast and uniform cutting, improving cutting efficiency and reducing cutting safety risks.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is a tooling for quickly cutting an ECU using an ultrasonic cutter, comprising a bracket, a motor, a base, a three-jaw chuck, a cutter fixing fixture, and an ultrasonic cutter. The motor is mounted on the base, and the motor shaft passes through the boss of the base and is connected to the three-jaw chuck. One end of the bracket is fixed to the top of the boss of the base, and the other end of the bracket is provided with a slide rail. The cutter fixing fixture is slidably mounted on the slide rail, and the ultrasonic cutter is installed in the mounting hole of the cutter fixing fixture.

[0007] After the three-jaw chuck clamps the ECU, the tip of the ultrasonic cutter abuts against the outer surface of the ECU.

[0008] The ultrasonic cutter includes a handle and a blade, with the blade mounted on the lower end of the handle.

[0009] The upper end of the knife handle is connected to the ultrasonic generator by a wire harness.

[0010] The bracket includes a slide rail, a fixing block, a horizontal block, and a mounting block. The bottom of the fixing block is fixed to the top of the boss on the base. The top of the fixing block is connected to the waist-shaped hole at one end of the horizontal block. The other end of the horizontal block is fixed to the back of the mounting block. The surface of the mounting block is provided with a slide rail.

[0011] The slide rail is T-shaped and is vertically mounted on the surface of the mounting block.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this invention employs a structure where a motor drives the ECU to rotate at a constant speed, and an ultrasonic cutter is fixed in place. This achieves rapid, stable, and safe cutting of the ECU casing, improving the efficiency of daily sampling inspections and failure analysis on the production line. Simultaneously, the cutting process is simpler, reducing the skill requirements for operators. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.

[0014] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the ultrasonic cutter and the ultrasonic generator of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] See Figure 1 This utility model is a tooling for quickly cutting an ECU with an ultrasonic cutter. It includes a bracket, a motor, a base, a three-jaw chuck, a cutter fixing fixture, and an ultrasonic cutter. The motor 2 is mounted on the base 3. The shaft of the motor 2 passes through the boss of the base 3 and is connected to the three-jaw chuck 4. One end of the bracket 1 is fixed to the top of the boss of the base 3. The other end of the bracket 1 is provided with a slide rail 11. The cutter fixing fixture 6 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 11. The ultrasonic cutter 7 is installed in the mounting hole of the cutter fixing fixture 6.

[0017] See Figure 2 The ultrasonic cutter 7 includes a handle 71 and a blade 72. The blade 72 is installed at the lower end of the handle 71, and the upper end of the handle 71 is connected to the ultrasonic generator 8 by a wire harness.

[0018] The bracket 1 includes a slide rail 11, a fixing block 12, a horizontal block 13, and a mounting block 14. The bottom of the fixing block 12 is fixed to the top of the boss on the base 3. The top of the fixing block 12 is connected to the oblong hole at one end of the horizontal block 13. The other end of the horizontal block 13 is fixed to the back of the mounting block 14. The mounting block 14 is provided with a slide rail 11. The slide rail 11 is T-shaped and is vertically mounted on the surface of the mounting block 14. The fixing block 12 cooperates with the oblong hole of the horizontal block 13 to adjust the front and rear position of the ultrasonic cutter 7. The slide rail 11 cooperates with the cutter fixing clamp 6 to adjust the vertical position of the ultrasonic cutter 7.

[0019] When this utility model is in operation, the three-jaw chuck 4 clamps the ECU5, and the handle 71 of the ultrasonic cutter 7 is fixed in the cutting blade fixing fixture 6. The bracket 1 is adjusted so that the tip of the ultrasonic cutter 7 moves to the optimal cutting position of the ECU5 shell. The tip of the ultrasonic cutter 7 abuts against the outer surface of the ECU5. The rotary motor switch is turned on, and the motor 2 drives the ECU5 to rotate at a constant speed. The ultrasonic cutter 7 completes the cutting of the ECU5 shell.

[0020] This invention is applicable to the cutting of different ECU products and can be used in the daily cutting and failure analysis of ECU products in ECU workshops. Its principle is also applicable to the cutting of cylindrical plastic products.

[0021] This invention employs a structure where a motor drives the ECU to rotate at a constant speed, and an ultrasonic cutter is fixed in place. This enables rapid, stable, and safe cutting of the ECU casing, improving the efficiency of daily sampling inspections and failure analysis on the production line. Simultaneously, the cutting process is simplified, reducing the skill requirements for operators.
