Abstract

Disclosed is a steering knuckle drilling device, including a drilling machine, a bottom plate, guide rails, hydraulic cylinders, fixtures, a support post and a support block. When in use, the present invention can simultaneously drill the left and right symmetric workpieces of a steering knuckle and can conveniently install and dismount the workpieces.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A steering knuckle drilling device, comprising:
a drilling machine, a guide rail I, a bottom plate, a hydraulic cylinder I, a double-shaft air cylinder, a positioning lock, a fixture I, a feeler block, a support block, a guide post, a hydraulic cylinder II, a support post, a fixture II, a sliding plate, a guide rail II, a hydraulic cylinder III, a guide rail III and a hydraulic cylinder IV, wherein the bottom plate is fixed above the worktable of the drilling machine by the guide rail I; the hydraulic cylinder I is also fixed above the worktable of the drilling machine, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder I is connected with a side vertical plate of the bottom plate; the double-shaft air cylinder with the output end provided with the positioning lock is fixed on the side vertical plate of the bottom plate; the fixture I is installed on a fixed position above the bottom plate; the fixture II is fixed above the bottom plate by the guide rail II; the hydraulic cylinder III is fixed on one side of the bottom plate, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder III is connected with the fixture II; the support post with the top end provided with the feeler block is fixed above the sliding plate, and the sliding plate is also fixed above the bottom plate by the guide rail III; the output end of the hydraulic cylinder IV fixed on the other side of the bottom plate is connected with the sliding plate; the guide post with the left end provided with the support block is matched with the support post, the hydraulic cylinder II is installed at a right side of the support post, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder II is connected with the guide post;
wherein during operation, the hydraulic cylinder I pushes out the bottom plate by means of the guide rail I; a left workpiece of the steering knuckle is clamped on the fixture I, a right workpiece of the steering knuckle is clamped on the fixture II, the hydraulic cylinder III pushes the fixture II forward by means of the guide rail II until the fixture II contacts the fixture I and stops, then the double-shaft air cylinder pushes the positioning lock forward to simultaneously insert into the fixture I and fixture II so as to fix the positions of the two fixtures, and center lines of four machined holes of the fixed left workpiece and right workpiece of the steering knuckle are coaxial; the hydraulic cylinder IV pushes the support post onto a corresponding position by means of the guide rail III, the hydraulic cylinder II enables the support block to play a role in supporting the two workpieces of the steering knuckle by means of the guide post to prevent vibration of cutters during machining.
