Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vacuum pump housing processing technology, and relates to processing tooling for vacuum pump housings. Background Technology
[0002] The workpiece is the housing component of a vacuum pump, with an irregular shape and a large deviation in the flatness of its bottom plane. Simultaneously, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the relative positions and hole spacing between the machined holes and locating surfaces presents significant challenges to machining. Existing machining fixtures are insufficient to meet these requirements. Furthermore, existing fixtures, designed to address the large flatness deviation of the bottom plane, require multiple locating blocks and pressure plates, necessitating constant adjustments with each stationary adjustment, extending machining time, and compromising accuracy. This results in low work efficiency, high labor costs, and a long lead time. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a machining fixture for vacuum pump housings. The machining fixture completes two processes on a single machine. After the workpiece is fixed on the base plate, the base plate is rotated to complete the machining transition between the two processes. This shortens the machining time. The floating support assembly on the base plate eliminates the problem of large flatness deviations of the workpiece's bottom plane, making operation convenient, quick, and with stable clamping.
[0004] The above-mentioned objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions. The machining fixture for the vacuum pump housing includes a base plate with two workstations arranged side-by-side on it. A workpiece placement area is located on the first workstation. At three of the four corners of the workpiece placement area, a first-station fixing pad is installed; a floating support assembly is installed at the remaining corner. The floating support assembly includes a first-station floating support outer sleeve, a floating support mandrel, and a floating support locking bolt. The first-station floating support outer sleeve is mounted on the base plate, the floating support mandrel is mounted inside the first-station floating support outer sleeve, and the front end of the floating support locking bolt extends into the first-station floating support outer sleeve and engages with it. The internal floating support mandrel is movably connected and locked; two station positioning blocks are also provided on the outer side of the first station, and a station positioning block is also provided on the opposite side of the floating support assembly; a station pressure plate is also provided adjacent to the outer side of the workpiece placement position; a station pressure plate pad is provided below the station pressure plate; the station pressure plate is equipped with fixing bolts for positioning the workpiece; a second station pad is provided at the front and rear ends of the second station; two second station positioning mandrels are provided at the center of the second station; each second station positioning mandrel is equipped with a movably connected second station pressure plate.
[0005] Furthermore, four pressure plates are provided for each workstation. Two of them are located on the outer edge of the two workstation positioning blocks, and the workstation pressure plates are located adjacent to the workstation positioning blocks. The other two workstation pressure plates are symmetrically arranged with the aforementioned two workstation pressure plates.
[0006] Furthermore, the pressure plate pad for one workstation is mounted on the base plate by bolts.
[0007] Furthermore, a positioning block for a workstation is set on the outer periphery of the workpiece placement position.
[0008] Furthermore, the floating support jacket for one workstation is bolted to the base plate.
[0009] Furthermore, a spring is installed between the base plate and the bottom of the floating support mandrel. The floating support mandrel extends out from the top surface of the floating support outer sleeve at one workstation.
[0010] Furthermore, the centers of the two two-station positioning mandrels are on the same vertical line.
[0011] Furthermore, the two-station positioning mandrel is set to correspond to the bearing hole position on the workpiece.
[0012] Furthermore, the top of the second-position positioning mandrel is provided with a threaded hole, and the top of the second-position positioning mandrel is connected to the second-position pressure plate by bolts and the threaded hole.
[0013] Furthermore, the second-station pad is fixed to the base plate with bolts.
[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are: This utility model provides a machining fixture for a vacuum pump housing. The machining fixture allows for two processes to be completed on a single machine. After the workpiece is fixed on the base plate, the base plate is rotated to complete the machining transition between the two processes. A floating support assembly is installed on the base plate. The floating support mandrel can adapt to different flatness differences in the workpiece, ensuring the workpiece is stably fixed on the base plate. This eliminates the problem of large flatness deviations in the workpiece's bottom plane, making the operation convenient, fast, and stable. The workpiece and the base plate are integrated and rotate as a whole, allowing for the machining of the plane and side holes of two workpieces in a single clamping operation, resulting in convenient, fast, and more efficient work.
