Description
技术领域 technical field
本实用新型涉及一种定位钻模,尤其涉及一种压盖定位夹紧钻模。 The utility model relates to a positioning drilling mold, in particular to a gland positioning and clamping drilling mold.
背景技术 Background technique
在汽车配件经常会用到一些压紧件,其中具有一种密封圈的压盖,现由于技术升级,需要提高压盖的加工精度和生产进度,尤其是压盖上孔的位置精度;由于原有的钻孔工艺为,先对工件进行画线,然后对端盖进行夹紧,为了保证对压盖夹紧时具有较好的自锁性,现采用了螺旋夹紧装置,即用螺栓来实现夹紧面的推进,对工件进行夹紧,由于螺栓具有较好的自锁性,所以夹紧效果好;但螺旋夹紧装置,采用螺栓驱动的特性,使得夹紧行程过大,从而使夹紧过程较为费时,且为了使夹紧力能够平衡,一般要采用多个螺栓来驱动,所以在夹紧工件时要将螺栓一一拧紧,松懈工件时又要将工件一一松开,使得夹紧过程复杂冗长;且画线加工无法达到升级后所需要的精度要求。 Some compression parts are often used in auto parts, among which there is a gland with a sealing ring. Now due to technological upgrading, it is necessary to improve the processing accuracy and production progress of the gland, especially the position accuracy of the hole on the gland; due to the original Some drilling processes are as follows: draw a line on the workpiece first, and then clamp the end cover. In order to ensure better self-locking performance when clamping the gland, a screw clamping device is now used, that is, bolts are used to clamp the end cover. Realize the advancement of the clamping surface and clamp the workpiece. Because the bolts have good self-locking properties, the clamping effect is good; but the screw clamping device adopts the characteristics of bolt drive, which makes the clamping stroke too large, so that The clamping process is time-consuming, and in order to balance the clamping force, it is generally driven by multiple bolts, so when clamping the workpiece, the bolts must be tightened one by one, and when the workpiece is loosened, the workpieces must be loosened one by one, so that The clamping process is complicated and lengthy; and the line drawing processing cannot meet the precision requirements required after the upgrade.
实用新型内容 Utility model content
本实用新型意在提供一种压盖定位夹紧钻模,以提高加工精度和精简工艺步骤。 The utility model intends to provide a gland positioning and clamping drilling mold so as to improve the machining accuracy and simplify the process steps.
本实用新型的基础方案压盖定位夹紧钻模,包括:底座、转盘、压紧台和钻模,还包括凸轮;所述凸轮为偏心凸轮,包括转轴和凸沿,且转轴与凸沿均为圆柱,转轴固定在凸沿的两端面,但凸沿偏心于转轴设置;所述底座上设置有安装腔体,所述凸轮安装在安装腔体内,且凸轮与底座转动连接,并有部分转轴支出底座,为凸轮驱动端;所述转盘设置在底座上方,并与凸轮驱动端花键连接;所述压紧台的上端设置有圆锥台状的中心定位凸台和外周定位环,外周定位环中心设置有定位锥孔,压紧台的下端通过螺纹连接有驱动杆;驱动杆与所述底座滑动连接,且驱动杆的一端与凸轮的凸沿的外周接触;所述钻模设置在压紧台的上方,并固定连接在底座上,且钻模上设置有钻模定位孔 The basic solution of the utility model is to position and clamp the drilling mold by the gland, including: a base, a turntable, a pressing table and a drilling mold, and a cam; the cam is an eccentric cam, including a rotating shaft and a convex edge, and the rotating shaft and the convex edge are It is a cylinder, and the rotating shaft is fixed on both ends of the convex edge, but the convex edge is set eccentrically to the rotating shaft; the base is provided with a mounting cavity, and the cam is installed in the mounting cavity, and the cam is rotatably connected with the base, and has a part of the rotating shaft The disbursement base is the driving end of the cam; the turntable is arranged above the base and splined to the driving end of the cam; the upper end of the pressing table is provided with a central positioning boss in the shape of a truncated cone and a peripheral positioning ring, and the peripheral positioning ring The center is provided with a positioning taper hole, and the lower end of the pressing platform is connected with a driving rod through a thread; above the platform, and fixedly connected to the base, and the drilling template is provided with a drilling template positioning hole
由于转盘与凸轮花键连接,所以转动转盘的同时凸轮也会转动;由于凸轮的凸沿与转轴偏心设置,所以凸轮转动时,与凸沿外周相接触的驱动杆将会由于凸沿外周的挤压而被顶出;从而改变压紧台与钻模之间的距离,便可实现对工件的压紧。为了达到对工件的定位作用,设置了中心定位凸台,中心定位凸台设置为锥台状,可使压紧台在对工件压紧的过程中,将工件的轴心对齐到中心定位台的轴心,从而实现定位;但由于工件的钻孔位置位于中心定位台外周,所以钻头对工件施加压力时,会使压紧力在工件上分布不均匀,从而设置的外周定位环可从工件的外周进行进一步的压紧和定位,使工件的受力更均匀,防止工件偏斜。而钻模具有定位钻头的作用,以省去画线工序。 Because the turntable is splined with the cam, the cam will also rotate when the turntable is turned; since the convex edge of the cam is eccentrically arranged with the rotating shaft, when the cam rotates, the drive rod in contact with the outer periphery of the convex edge will be squeezed by the outer periphery of the convex edge. Press and be ejected; thereby changing the distance between the pressing table and the drilling mold, the pressing of the workpiece can be realized. In order to achieve the positioning effect on the workpiece, a central positioning boss is set. The central positioning boss is set in the shape of a cone, so that the pressing table can align the axis of the workpiece to the center positioning table during the process of pressing the workpiece. However, since the drilling position of the workpiece is located on the outer periphery of the central positioning table, when the drill bit exerts pressure on the workpiece, the pressing force will be unevenly distributed on the workpiece, so that the outer peripheral positioning ring can be set from the workpiece. The outer circumference is further pressed and positioned to make the force of the workpiece more uniform and prevent the workpiece from deflecting. The drilling jig has the function of positioning the drill bit, so as to save the line drawing process.
通过本基础方案即可解决背景技术中精度不够且工艺冗长的问题。 The problems of insufficient precision and lengthy process in the background art can be solved by this basic solution.
优选方案一,作为对基础方案的进一步优化,所述底座包括壳体、凸轮支撑环,所述安装腔体设置在壳体上,凸轮支撑环用螺钉固定在在壳体上,并与凸轮一端的转轴配合;本优化可使底座与凸轮的装配简单可靠。 Preferred solution 1, as a further optimization of the basic solution, the base includes a housing and a cam support ring, the installation cavity is arranged on the housing, and the cam support ring is fixed on the housing with screws, and connected to one end of the cam Cooperate with the rotating shaft; this optimization can make the assembly of the base and the cam simple and reliable.
优选方案二,作为对基础方案的进一步优化,所述转盘上设置了两手柄,手柄与转盘螺纹连接,且手柄中心与转盘中心的角度为30o;本优化可是转动转盘更方便,且手柄通过螺纹连接便于拆卸。 Preferred option 2, as a further optimization of the basic solution, two handles are provided on the turntable, the handles are threadedly connected to the turntable, and the angle between the center of the handle and the center of the turntable is 30o; this optimization is more convenient to turn the turntable, and the handles are threaded The connection is easy to disassemble.
优选方案三,作为对基础方案的进一步优化,所述驱动杆与所述凸沿外周相接触的面设置为弧面;本优化可使凸沿外周与驱动杆为面接触,防止凸轮与驱动杆之间的过渡磨损。 Preferred option three, as a further optimization of the basic solution, the contact surface between the drive rod and the outer circumference of the convex edge is set as an arc surface; this optimization can make the outer circumference of the convex edge contact with the drive rod to prevent the cam from contacting the drive rod. Transition wear between.
优选方案四,作为对基础方案的进一步优化,所述驱动杆外周还套设有压紧弹簧,驱动杆上还设置了弹簧限位凸沿,底座上设置了弹簧限位端盖,且弹簧限位端盖套装在驱动杆上,并通过螺钉固定在底座上;由于驱动杆与底座之间滑动连接,极易由于铁渣填充在驱动杆与底座间隙之间而使摩擦力增大,从而导致松开工件后压紧台无法在重力作用下回位,所以设置压紧弹簧有助有压紧台的回位。 Preferred option 4, as a further optimization of the basic solution, the outer periphery of the drive rod is also sleeved with a compression spring, the drive rod is also provided with a spring limit convex edge, the base is provided with a spring limit end cover, and the spring limit The bit end cover is set on the driving rod and fixed on the base by screws; due to the sliding connection between the driving rod and the base, it is very easy to increase the friction force due to the filling of iron slag in the gap between the driving rod and the base, resulting in After the workpiece is released, the compression table cannot return to its position under the action of gravity, so setting the compression spring will help the return of the compression table.
优选方案五,作为对基础方案的进一步优化,所述外周定位环压通过螺纹连接在压紧台的外周,且外周压紧环上还设置了转动手柄;由于每件工件都存在一定误差,通过相对固定的中心定位台和外周定位环来实现定位和压紧,有可能由于边缘压紧力小于中心压紧力,从而造成工件的微微偏斜,所以通过转动手柄旋拧外周定位环对工件的外周进行进一步的压紧和定位,可进一步提高定位精度。 Preferred option five, as a further optimization of the basic solution, the outer peripheral positioning ring is screwed to the outer periphery of the compression table, and a rotating handle is also provided on the outer peripheral compression ring; since each workpiece has a certain error, through Relatively fixed central positioning table and outer peripheral positioning ring to achieve positioning and compression, it is possible that the edge pressing force is smaller than the central pressing force, resulting in slight deflection of the workpiece, so by turning the handle to screw the outer peripheral positioning ring to the workpiece Further pressing and positioning on the outer periphery can further improve the positioning accuracy.

Two handles 21 are also arranged on the turntable 2. The handles 21 are screwed to the turntable 2, and the angle between the center of the handle 21 and the center of the turntable 2 is 30°; The upper end is provided with a truncated conical central positioning boss, the lower end of the pressing table 4 is connected with a drive rod 41 by a screw thread, and the outer circumference of the pressing table 4 is also threaded with a peripheral positioning ring 43 with a rotating handle 21, and the outer peripheral positioning The upper end of the ring 43 is provided with a positioning taper hole; the housing 11 is provided with a corresponding sliding rod mounting hole, the driving rod 41 is inserted in the sliding rod mounting hole, and is slidably connected with the base 1, and the driving rod 41 is mounted on the base 1 along the The axial direction of the drive rod 41 slides, and one end of the drive rod 41 is set so that the arc surface contacts with the outer periphery of the convex edge 31 of the cam 3, and the outer periphery of the drive rod 41 is also sleeved with a compression spring 42, so that the compression spring 42 is easy to install , The driving rod 41 is also provided with a spring limit convex edge 41131 and a spring limit end cover 13, the spring limit end cover 13 is sleeved on the drive rod 41 and fixed on the housing 11 by screws. The jig 5 is arranged above the pressing table 4, and is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the jig 5 is provided with a jig 5 positioning hole.
具体工作过程及效果:握住转盘2上连接的手柄21,并旋转转盘2,由于转盘2与凸轮3的转轴32花键连接,所以转动转盘2的同时凸轮3也会转动,由于凸轮3的凸沿31与转轴32偏心设置,所以凸轮3转动时,与凸沿31外周相接触的驱动杆41将会由于凸沿31外周的挤压而向壳体11外伸出,且由于驱动杆41外周设置了压紧弹簧42,所以当凸轮3来回转动时,驱动杆41将相对与壳体11来回的伸出缩回,从而改变压紧台4与钻模5之间的距离,便可实现对工件6的压紧。为了达到对工件6的定位作用,设置了中心定位凸台,中心定位凸台设置为锥台状,可使压紧台4在对工件6压紧的过程中,将工件6的轴心对齐到中心定位台的轴心,从而实现定位;但由于每件工件6都存在一定误差,仅仅通过中心定位台来实现定位和压紧,既无法保证定位精度,又不能使压紧力在工件6上均匀分布,从而设置的外周定位环43可从工件6的外周进行进一步的压紧和定位,提高定位精度。为了使凸沿31外周与驱动杆41为面接触,防止凸轮3与驱动杆41之间的过渡磨损,所以将驱动杆41与凸沿31外周相接触的面设置为弧面。 Specific working process and effect: Hold the handle 21 connected to the turntable 2 and turn the turntable 2. Since the turntable 2 is splined with the shaft 32 of the cam 3, the cam 3 will also rotate when the turntable 2 is turned. The convex edge 31 is eccentrically arranged with the rotating shaft 32, so when the cam 3 rotates, the driving rod 41 contacting the outer periphery of the convex edge 31 will protrude out of the housing 11 due to the extrusion of the outer periphery of the convex edge 31, and because the driving rod 41 The outer circumference is provided with a compression spring 42, so when the cam 3 rotates back and forth, the drive rod 41 will extend and retract back and forth relative to the housing 11, thereby changing the distance between the compression table 4 and the jig 5 to achieve Compression of workpiece 6. In order to achieve the positioning effect on the workpiece 6, a central positioning boss is provided. The central positioning boss is set in the shape of a cone, so that the pressing table 4 can align the axis of the workpiece 6 to the The axis of the central positioning table can be used to achieve positioning; however, since there is a certain error in each workpiece 6, positioning and pressing can only be achieved through the central positioning table, which can neither ensure the positioning accuracy nor make the pressing force on the workpiece 6 Evenly distributed, so that the outer peripheral positioning ring 43 can be further pressed and positioned from the outer periphery of the workpiece 6, thereby improving the positioning accuracy. In order to make the outer periphery of the convex edge 31 contact with the driving rod 41 and prevent the transition wear between the cam 3 and the driving rod 41, the contact surface of the driving rod 41 and the outer periphery of the convex edge 31 is set as an arc surface.
