Abstract

A machining fixture, comprising a base, an air cylinder, an air cylinder piston and connecting rod, a supporting guide sleeve, a sliding supporting seat, a thrust ball bearing holder and spherical bead, a floating platform, a first connecting screw, a compression block, a pin shaft, a push rod pin, a second connecting screw, a center positioning shaft, a third connecting screw, a guide sleeve, a supporting plate, an oil cylinder piston and connecting rod and a one-way oil cylinder. The floating centering self-clamping machining fixture is for machining flange-type, which improves positioning accuracy and machining precision. The fixture has an automatic returning floating platform, achieving the automatic alignment of the parts; after the alignment, a floating support moves down and is changed to a rigid support, improving stability; and a positioning rod continues to move down, such that a workpiece is automatically clamped by an ejector rod oscillating arm mechanism.

First claim

wherein the one-way oil cylinder is connected to the base by a bolt through the supporting plate, the guide sleeve and the base are in small clearance fit with each other and fixed with a screw, an oil cylinder connecting rod of the one-way oil cylinder penetrates through the base through the guide sleeve, and the center positioning shaft is installed to a top end of the oil cylinder piston and connecting rod by the second connecting screw; the air cylinder is fixed to the base through a bolt, the supporting guide sleeve and the base are in small clearance fit with each other and fixed by the first connecting screw, the air cylinder piston and connecting rod of the air cylinder penetrates through the base through the supporting guide sleeve and is connected to the sliding supporting seat, and the holder and spherical bead is arranged on the sliding supporting seat; the floating platform is configured to be arranged on the holder and spherical bead at a regulation state and on the sliding supporting seat at a working state of workpiece machining; the compression block and the pin shaft are fixed respectively to the center positioning shaft to maintain stationary; and the push rod pin is arranged between the floating platform and the supporting guide sleeve,
wherein the supporting guide sleeve comprises a supporting guide sleeve mounting foot, a supporting guide sleeve mounting bolt hole, a supporting guide sleeve cylindrical main body and a friction sleeve; the supporting guide sleeve mounting foot is disposed at a bottom end of the supporting guide sleeve and configured to be in small clearance fit with the base; the supporting guide sleeve is fixed by a bolt through the supporting guide sleeve mounting bolt hole; and the friction sleeve is disposed at the top end of the supporting guide sleeve, and is in rigid contact with the floating platform.

2. The machining fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding supporting seat comprises a sliding supporting seat cylindrical outer wall, a sliding supporting seat inner cavity disposed at an upper end in the cylindrical outer wall and sliding supporting seat threads disposed at a lower end in the cylindrical outer wall; the sliding supporting seat and the air cylinder piston rod are connected by the sliding supporting seat thread; the sliding supporting seat cylindrical outer wall is in sliding guiding fit with the friction sleeve of the supporting guide sleeve; and the holder and spherical bead is arranged in the sliding supporting seat inner cavity.

3. The machining fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the center positioning shaft is in a shape of a frustum, and comprises: a center positioning shaft conical surface; a center positioning shaft working surface disposed at an outer side of the lower edge of the center positioning shaft and having a bulge; a center positioning shaft hole disposed at the bottom of the center positioning shaft and being in small clearance fit with the oil cylinder connecting rod; a center positioning shaft center bolt hole disposed at the bottom of the center positioning shaft and fixed to the oil cylinder connecting rod through a screw; a side upper portion comprising a center positioning shaft pin-shaft positioning hole, the center positioning shaft pin-shaft positioning hole being configured to be in interference fit with the pin shaft; a center positioning shaft sliding pin hole, the center positioning shaft sliding pin hole being configured to allow the push rod pin to slide vertically in the center positioning shaft sliding pin hole; a center positioning shaft compression avoidance groove disposed at the bottom of the center positioning shaft; and a center positioning shaft weight-reducing hole.

4. The machining fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding supporting seat comprises a sliding supporting seat cylindrical outer wall, a sliding supporting seat inner cavity disposed at an upper end in the cylindrical outer wall and sliding supporting seat threads disposed at a lower end in the cylindrical outer wall; the sliding supporting seat and the air cylinder piston rod are connected by the sliding supporting seat threads; the sliding supporting seat cylindrical outer wall is in sliding guiding fit with the friction sleeve of the supporting guide sleeve; and the holder and spherical bead is arranged in the sliding supporting seat inner cavity.

5. The machining fixture according to claim 1 , wherein the center positioning shaft is in a shape of a frustum, and comprises: a center positioning shaft conical surface; a center positioning shaft working surface disposed at an outer side of the lower edge of the center positioning shaft and having a bulge; a center positioning shaft hole disposed at the bottom of the center positioning shaft and being in small clearance fit with the oil cylinder connecting rod; a center positioning shaft center bolt hole disposed at the bottom of the center positioning shaft and fixed to the oil cylinder connecting rod through a screw; a side upper portion comprising a center positioning shaft pin-shaft positioning hole, the center positioning shaft pin-shaft positioning hole being configured to be in interference fit with the pin shaft; a center positioning shaft sliding pin hole, the center positioning shaft sliding pin hole being configured to allow the push rod pin to slide vertically in the center positioning shaft sliding pin hole; a center positioning shaft compression avoidance groove disposed at the bottom of the center positioning shaft; and a center positioning shaft weight-reducing hole.
