Description

Vise auxiliary device

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a vice auxiliary device. More specifically, it relates to a vice auxiliary device applicable to a milling machine that can be applied to an MCT device for machining components applied to an aircraft floor grid.

[0002] The MCT machine secures the workpiece to the workspace and rotates the cutting device to shape it into a predetermined shape. A separate program is designed based on the shape of the workpiece, and a vise auxiliary device must be manufactured and applied according to the designed program to secure the workpiece to the workspace.

[0003] Furthermore, the machining process proceeds through a finishing stage, which includes roughing and precision machining to even out the surface of the workpiece and roughly machine its shape. Angle machining requires up to six material position changes during the roughing process. In this machining process, a portion of the workpiece is clamped to prevent deformation or loosening of the clamping due to the load transferred from the equipment to the workpiece. Therefore, the clamped area is cut and scrapped in the final process.

[0004] In particular, when the workpiece is clamped with a conventional vise auxiliary device for angle processing, a large amount of material is wasted in the final processing process as the workpiece is clamped with a thickness of 10 mm or more. In addition, in the process of performing a roughing process to even out the surface or prevent index defects before the finishing process, since all six sides of a cube (rectangular parallelepiped) are processed, the work of attaching and detaching from the vise auxiliary device is performed at least six times, which reduces the efficiency of the process.

[0005] Accordingly, there is a need for the development of a technology for a vise auxiliary device to reduce the material waste rate generated in the milling process using an MCT device and to increase process efficiency by switching to a finishing process without a separate roughing process with just one fastening.

[0006] In some embodiments, a vice auxiliary device may be provided that is applied to a clamping device for fixing a workpiece.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure for achieving the above-described technical problem, a vice auxiliary device applied to a clamp device for fixing a processing object may include a lower structure including a support portion formed to support a lower surface of the processing object in an upward direction and a coupling groove dug with a predetermined width and a predetermined depth in a portion of the processing object that does not support the processing object; and an upper structure formed in a T-shaped structure including a body and an arm extending on both sides of the body, on one side of which a plurality of first type unit structures supporting a side surface of the processing object in a horizontal direction are formed at a predetermined interval, and on the other side of which a plurality of second type unit structures not supporting the processing object are formed at a predetermined interval.

[0008] According to one embodiment, the body may include an insertion body formed to be inserted into the coupling groove by a predetermined length from the lower portion of the body; and an extension body extending from the insertion body in the height direction to an upper surface including the body and the arm.

[0009] According to one embodiment, the arm may include a first arm that supports the object to be processed through the plurality of first type unit structures patterned at a first interval that extends horizontally in a portion of the upper part of the extension body to have a predetermined step difference from the upper surface of the lower structure and contacts a side surface of the object to be processed; and a second arm that is formed in a portion of the upper part of the extension body to have a predetermined step difference from the upper surface of the lower structure in the horizontal direction on the opposite side of the first arm.

[0010] According to one embodiment, the first arm is bent 90 degrees in the downward direction on one side facing the side of the processing object, and the plurality of second type unit structures can be patterned at a second interval on the lower surface facing the upper surface of the lower structure with a predetermined interval between the upper surface and the lower surface.

[0011] According to the present disclosure, by clamping a workpiece that was previously clamped to a thickness of 10 mm to a minimum required thickness of 2.5 mm, material waste of 7.5 mm or more can be reduced compared to the conventional method.

[0012] According to one embodiment, the efficiency of the process can be improved by performing the finishing process with only one fastening without performing the roughing process that is used for the conventional six-sided surface processing process.

[0017] In one embodiment, a vice auxiliary device applied to a clamp device for fixing a processing object may be provided, comprising: a lower structure including a support portion formed to support a lower surface of the processing object in an upward direction and a coupling groove dug with a predetermined width and a predetermined depth in a portion of the processing object that does not support the processing object; and an upper structure formed in a T-shaped structure including a body and an arm extending from the body on both sides, on one side of which a plurality of first type unit structures supporting a side surface of the processing object in a horizontal direction are formed at predetermined intervals, and on the other side of which a plurality of second type unit structures not supporting the processing object are formed at predetermined intervals.

In addition, in the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted for clarity of description of the present disclosure, and similar parts are designated with similar reference numerals throughout the specification.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a drawing schematically illustrating a vice auxiliary device according to one embodiment.

[0023] According to one embodiment, the vise auxiliary device (1000) can clamp the workpiece (10) by, unlike the conventional vise device (100) as in (101a) that clamps the lower region of the workpiece (10), by attaching two vise auxiliary devices (1000) to the vise device as in (101b) and then placing the workpiece (10) on the upper portion of the vise auxiliary devices (1000). For example, the workpiece (10) can be clamped by additionally attaching a pair of vise auxiliary devices (1000) to the conventional vise device (100) or clamping device.

[0024] According to one embodiment, the processing object (10) may be a component for manufacturing a floor grid, which is a core component to which a strength reinforcement design of a floor structure is applied to increase the loading capacity of a cargo plane.

[0025]

[0026] Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a vice auxiliary device according to one embodiment.

[0027] According to one embodiment, the vise auxiliary device (1000) may include a lower structure (110) and an upper structure (120). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the vise auxiliary device (1000) may include more or fewer components. For example, the lower structure (110) supports the lower surface of the workpiece (10) in a vertical direction, and the upper structure (120) supports the side surface of the workpiece (10) in a horizontal direction, so that the workpiece (10) can be clamped to the vise auxiliary device (1000).

[0028] According to one embodiment, the lower structure (110) may include a support portion (112) formed to support the lower surface of the workpiece (10) in an upward direction and a joining groove (114) dug with a predetermined width and a predetermined depth in a portion of the workpiece (10) that does not support the workpiece. For example, the support portion (112) may be formed to have a thickness greater than the thickness of the area where the workpiece (10) is mounted.

[0029] According to one embodiment, the joining groove (114) is an area where a part of the body of the upper structure (120) to be described later is inserted and joined, and is dug with a predetermined depth and width so that the upper structure (120) is not easily separated from the lower structure (110), and may further include a plurality of bolt fastening grooves for bolt fastening. In addition, for example, the joining groove (114) may be formed as a T-shaped hook structure in which the lower edge portion of the joining groove is dug horizontally with a predetermined length so that the upper structure (120) is not easily separated in the left and right directions during the process of clamping the workpiece (10), and a hook structure in which a hook portion is formed on both sides is formed. For example, the shape of the upper structure (120) in which the hook portion is additionally formed may be formed in an H shape. Through the hook structure as described above, the area where the upper structure (120) comes into contact with the lower structure (110) is expanded, and by being strongly fastened due to the shape of the hook portion, there is an effect in which the upper structure (120) does not easily come off from the lower structure (110).

[0030] According to one embodiment, the substructure (110) may further include a plurality of grooves formed on one side and a back side that contact the vise device (100) for engaging with the vise device (100).

[0031] According to one embodiment, the upper structure (120) may be formed as a T-shaped structure including a body (122) and an arm (124). For example, the body (122) may be a region corresponding to the central region of the T-shaped structure of the upper structure (120), and may be a rectangular parallelepiped structure formed with a predetermined thickness, but is not limited thereto, and the lower part of the body (122) may be changed to correspond to the joining groove (114) of the lower structure (110). According to one embodiment, the height of the body (122) may be 6 mm to 12 mm, but more preferably, 10 mm. In addition, according to one embodiment, the upper structure (120) may be made of SUS630.

[0032] According to one embodiment, the arm (124) may have a plurality of first type unit structures formed at predetermined intervals on one surface thereof to horizontally support a side surface of a workpiece (10), and a plurality of second type unit structures not supporting the workpiece may be formed at predetermined intervals on the other surface thereof. For example, by forming a plurality of first type unit structures at predetermined intervals on one surface of the arm (124) facing the side surface of the workpiece (10), the vise auxiliary device (1000) may effectively clamp the workpiece (10). According to one embodiment, the vertical length of the arm (124) may be 4 mm to 6 mm, but more preferably, 5 mm. Specific details regarding the first type unit structures and the second type unit structures will be described later with reference to FIG. 4.

[0033]

[0034] Figure 3 is a block diagram of a vice auxiliary device according to one embodiment.

[0035] In one embodiment, the body (122) may include an insertion body (222) formed to be inserted into the coupling groove by a predetermined length from the lower portion of the body, and an extension body (224) extending in the height direction from the insertion body (222) to an upper surface including the body and the arm. For example, the insertion body (222) may include a region extending from the lower surface of the body to a predetermined height at which it is inserted into the coupling groove (114) of the lower structure (110), and the height may be changed depending on the depth of the coupling groove (114). In one embodiment, the height of the insertion body (222) may be 2 mm to 4 mm, but more preferably 3 mm. In addition, for example, the extension body (224) may include a region in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped excluding the insertion body (222) from the body.

[0036] In one embodiment, the arm may include a first arm (226) and a second arm (228). For example, the first arm (226) may correspond to an arm on the upper side of the support member (112), that is, adjacent to the workpiece (10), among the arms on both sides of the T-shaped structure of the upper structure (120). In addition, for example, the second arm (228) may correspond to an arm on the opposite side of the first arm (226) that is not adjacent to the workpiece (10), among the arms on both sides of the T-shaped structure of the upper structure (120). A specific description of the structure of the vise auxiliary device (1000) will be described below with reference to FIG. 4.

[0037]

[0038] Figure 4 is a front view illustrating the structure of a vice auxiliary device according to one embodiment.

[0039] According to one embodiment, the first arm (226) may be formed to support the object to be processed by extending horizontally from a portion of the upper portion of the extension body (224) to have a predetermined step difference with the upper surface of the lower structure (110), and patterning the plurality of first type unit structures (310) at a first interval that contacts the side surface of the object to be processed. For example, the first arm (226) may not be formed to extend horizontally from the entire side surface of the extension body (224), but may be formed to extend only from a region corresponding to a predetermined length downward from the upper surface of the extension body (224), so that a predetermined step difference may be formed between the upper surfaces of the lower structure (110). By supporting the object to be processed by the first arm on which the plurality of first type unit structures (310) are formed, not only can the object to be processed be effectively fixed even if only a thin thickness is clamped, but there is also an effect of significantly reducing the material cutting rate due to clamping. According to one embodiment, the height of the first type unit structures (310) may be 2 mm to 3 mm, but more preferably 2.5 mm.

[0040] According to one embodiment, the second arm (228) may be formed to have a predetermined step from the upper surface of the lower structure (110) in the horizontal direction opposite to the first arm (226) in a portion of the upper part of the extension body (224). The second arm (228) may be formed in the same shape as the first arm (226) as needed, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the second arm (228) is formed in the same shape as the first arm (228), when the first arm (226) is worn to a level where it cannot clamp the object to be processed, the upper structure (120) may be rotated 180 degrees and coupled to the lower structure (110) to support the object to be processed through the second arm (228).

[0041] According to one embodiment, the first arm (226) may be bent 90 degrees downward on one side facing the side surface of the object to be processed, and the plurality of second type unit structures (320) may be patterned at a second interval on the lower surface facing the upper surface of the lower structure with a predetermined interval between the steps. For example, the second type unit structures (320) may be formed on the lower surface of the first arm (226) formed in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and have the effect of effectively removing processing residues accumulated in the step between the first arm (226) and the lower structure (110). For example, since processing residues accumulated in the step tend to easily get caught in the corners of a right-angled structure, the second type unit structures (320) not only prevent the processing residues from easily reaching the corners, but also have the effect of allowing them to easily escape through the curved surface. In one embodiment, the height of the second type unit structures (320) may be 1 mm to 2 mm, but more preferably 1.5 mm.

[0042] Although not shown in FIG. 4, in one embodiment, the second spacing at which the second type unit structures (320) are patterned may be at least twice the first spacing at which the first type unit structures (310) are patterned, but is not limited thereto.

[0043] In one embodiment, the first type unit structure may include a first partial unit structure and a second partial unit structure.

[0044] According to one embodiment, the first partial unit structure may be formed in the shape of a quadrangular pyramid, in which the lower surface is formed on one side of the first arm (226) and the side surface is formed as a curved surface having a first concave curvature. For example, the first partial unit structure may be formed in a shape in which the lower surface formed on one side of the first arm (226) is square and the four side surfaces extending from the lower surface have an increasingly steep slope as they go upward.

[0045] According to one embodiment, the second partial unit structure may be formed in the shape of a quadrangular pyramid that extends in the height direction (perpendicular to the bottom of the first partial unit structure) from the upper surface of the first partial unit structure, but has a side surface formed by a curved surface having a second concave curvature. For example, the second partial unit structure may have a shape in which four side surfaces extending from the upper surface of the first partial unit structure have an increasingly greater inclination toward the top, but the amount of change in the inclination may be small.

[0046] In one embodiment, the height of the first partial unit structure is greater than the height of the second partial unit structure, the first curvature is greater than the second curvature, and the amount of change in slope at any point constituting a line segment extending from a side surface of the first partial unit structure to a side surface of the second partial unit structure may be discontinuous. For example, in a line segment extending from a side surface of the first partial unit structure (a curvature surface having a first curvature) to a side surface of the second partial unit structure (a curvature surface having a second curvature), as the first curvature changes to the second curvature, the amount of change in slope at any point constituting the line segment may be discontinuous.

[0047] Additionally, according to one embodiment, the cross-section of the curvature surface of the first partial unit structure and the second partial unit structure cut in the vertical direction of the bottom surface of the first partial unit structure may have a trapezoidal shape.

[0048] According to one embodiment, the second type unit structure (320) has the same shape as the first type unit structure (310), but is lower than the height of the first type unit structure (310), and the area of ​​the side surface may be larger, but is not limited thereto, and the shape including the spacing, height, and area of ​​the side surface of each type of structure may be changed depending on the object to be processed.

[0049] Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail above, the scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art using the basic concepts of the present disclosure defined in the following claims also fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
