Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball head pressing tooling technology, and in particular to a ball head pressing tooling. Background Technology

[0002] The steering knuckle is a core component of the suspension system, and its ball joint needs to be machined with high precision to ensure steering agility and safety.

[0003] Traditional clamping fixtures have the following problems:

[0004] 1. Poor versatility: The fixed structure cannot be adapted to the steering knuckle ball joint size of different vehicle models;

[0005] 2. Easily damaged surfaces: Rigid grippers can easily scratch the ball head coating, affecting the quality of the finished product;

[0006] 3. Low positioning accuracy: The lack of adaptive centering function leads to machining deviation.

[0007] In existing technologies, clamping fixtures mostly employ hydraulic drives or single chuck structures, which are costly and require complex adjustments. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a highly efficient, adaptive, and protective clamping solution. However, existing technologies are divided into ordinary press-fitting and equipment assembly. Existing press-fitting equipment includes a lower fixture for the ball-head part to be installed, a ball-head positioning fixture, a lower pressure block, and a drive mechanism for moving the lower pressure block up and down. The ball-head positioning fixture includes a ball-head positioning sleeve and a positioning pin fixed to the lower bottom surface of the lower pressure block, and the lower positioning fixture is located below the ball-head positioning sleeve.

[0008] During installation, the ball head to be installed is placed on the lower positioning fixture. The ball head is initially positioned in the corresponding mounting hole of the ball head to be installed. The drive mechanism drives the lower pressure block to move down, and the ball head positioning sleeve is put on the upper end of the ball head. The positioning pin is inserted into the inner core, pressing the ball head into place. During this process, since the inner core of the ball head can rotate 360° around its axis, although the positioning pin is inserted into the inner core, the positioning pin only plays a coarse positioning role. Moreover, the positioning pin is prone to misalignment after long-term use. Therefore, the inner core is prone to tilting. When the lower pressure block presses on the inner core in this state, it is easy to damage the dust cover of the ball head rod, resulting in poor pressing stability and consistency, and the quality cannot be guaranteed.
