[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Embodiment 1:
[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a clamp for machining a universal joint according to the first embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of the clamping device of the first embodiment of the utility model. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the connection between the clamping block and the anti-sliding block of the first embodiment of the utility model. Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the connection between the rack and the second gear in the first embodiment of the utility model.
[0023] The utility model provides a clamp for processing universal joints: it includes a clamp seat 101, a support rod 102 and a clamping block 103, and also includes a clamping device, the clamping device includes a sliding frame 104, a first gear 105, a ring gear 106, a transmission shaft 107, a transmission assembly and a rotating assembly, the transmission assembly includes a second gear 109 and a rack 110, and the clamping block 103 also includes an anti-sliding block 111. The above-mentioned scheme solves the problem that the above-mentioned existing patent needs to rotate three groups of adjusting screws in sequence when pushing the clamp base and the U-shaped clamping block, making the clamping of the universal joint extremely troublesome. It can be understood that this scheme can also be used to solve the problem of driving the ring gear to rotate.
[0024] In this embodiment, driven by the rotating assembly, the ring gear 106 drives the three groups of the first gears 105 and the three groups of the transmission shafts 107 to rotate simultaneously by meshing with the three groups of the first gears 105. Under the power transmission of the transmission assembly, the clamping blocks 103 on the three groups of the sliding frames 104 move toward the universal joint along the guide groove 108 at the same time and clamp the universal joint, so that the clamping of the universal joint is more convenient by synchronously driving the three groups of the clamping blocks 103.
[0025] The transmission shaft 107 is rotatably mounted in the fixture seat 101, and passes through the fixture seat 101 and extends into the guide groove 108. The first gear 105 is fixedly mounted on the transmission shaft 107 and is located in the fixture seat 101. The transmission assembly is mounted on the transmission shaft 107. The sliding frame 104 is slidably mounted on the fixture seat 101 through the transmission assembly and is located in the guide groove 108. The clamping block 103 is fixedly mounted on the sliding frame 104. The gear ring 106 is rotatably mounted in the fixture seat 101 through the rotating assembly and meshes with the first gear 105. The fixture seat 101 is disc-shaped and has a hollow structure inside. The support rod 102 is welded to the bottom of the fixture seat 101. The bottom end of the support rod 102 is provided with a fixing plate for fixing. The number of the guide grooves 108 is three groups and is annularly distributed on the fixture seat 101. The number of the sliding frame 104, the first gear 105, the transmission shaft 107 and the transmission assembly is The guide grooves 108 are arranged in three groups, and the distribution of the guide grooves 108 is the same as that of the three groups. The sliding frame 104 is a U-shaped structure with an opening facing downward. The clamping block 103 is in an arc shape and is welded to the upper surface of the sliding frame 104. The transmission shaft 107 is rotatably mounted in the fixture seat 101 through a bearing. The first gear 105 is located at the bottom of the transmission shaft 107. The gear ring 106 is an annular structure with multiple groups of teeth on its outer wall. When in use, the gear ring 106 is driven to rotate by the rotating assembly. 106 drives the three groups of the first gears 105 to rotate simultaneously by meshing with the three groups of the first gears 105. The first gears 105 transmit power through the transmission assembly, so that the sliding frame 104 and the clamping block 103 move along the guide groove 108 toward the direction of the universal joint until they abut against the universal joint. The universal joint is clamped with the cooperation of the three groups of the clamping blocks 103, and the three groups of the clamping blocks 103 are driven synchronously, thereby making the clamping of the universal joint more convenient.
[0026] Secondly, the second gear 109 is fixedly mounted on the transmission shaft 107 and is located at the end of the transmission shaft 107 away from the first gear 105; the rack 110 is fixedly mounted on the sliding frame 104 and meshes with the second gear 109. The second gear 109 is located at the upper end of the transmission shaft 107, and the rack 110 is welded in the sliding frame 104. The meshing transmission between the rack 110 and the second gear 109 enables the rotation of the transmission shaft 107 to drive the sliding frame 104 to move.
[0027] Again, the anti-sliding block 111 is fixedly installed on the clamping block 103. The anti-sliding block 111 is made of rubber material. The anti-sliding block 111 is an arc-shaped structure and is fixed to the inner side of the recess of the clamping block 103 by gluing. Through the setting of the anti-sliding block 111, the clamping block 103 clamps the universal joint more stably.
[0028] In this embodiment, when in use, the three-pronged universal joint is placed at the center of the fixture seat 101, and then the ring gear 106 is driven to rotate through the rotating assembly. The ring gear 106 is meshed with the three groups of the first gears 105 at the same time. The rotation of the ring gear 106 drives the three groups of the first gears 105 to rotate simultaneously through the meshing. The rotation of the first gear 105 rotates in the fixture seat 101 through the transmission shaft 107 fixedly connected thereto, and the transmission shaft 107 drives the second gear 109 to rotate. The second gear 109 is meshed with the first gears 105. The rack 110 is meshed with the rack 110, and the rack 110 is fixedly mounted on the sliding frame 104. The rotation of the second gear 109 drives the sliding frame 104 to move along the guide groove 108 toward the direction of the universal joint through the meshing with the rack 110. The movement of the sliding frame 104 drives the clamping block 103 to move accordingly until it abuts against the universal joint, thereby achieving the clamping of the universal joint with the cooperation of the three groups of the clamping blocks 103, and achieving the synchronous driving of the three groups of the clamping blocks 103, thereby making the clamping of the universal joint more convenient.

[0031] In this embodiment, the rotation effect of the ring gear 106 is achieved through the cooperation between the driving shaft 202 and the rotating disk 201.
[0032] Among them, the driving shaft 202 is rotatably mounted on the clamp seat 101, and passes through the clamp seat 101 and extends to the outside of the clamp seat 101; the rotating disk 201 is fixedly mounted on the driving shaft 202 and is located in the clamp seat 101, the ring gear 106 is sleeved on the rotating disk 201 and fixedly connected to the rotating disk 201, the driving disk is welded on the inner side of the ring gear 106, the axis of the driving disk and the ring gear 106 coincide, and the driving shaft 202 is rotatably mounted on the clamp seat 101 through a bearing. When in use, the driving shaft 202 is rotated to make the rotating disk 201 rotate around the axis of the driving shaft 202, and the rotation of the rotating disk 201 drives the ring gear 106 to rotate, thereby achieving a rotation effect on the ring gear 106.
[0033] Secondly, the driving knob 203 is fixedly mounted on the driving shaft 202 and is located outside the clamp seat 101. The driving knob 203 is welded to the bottom end of the driving shaft 202. The setting of the driving knob 203 makes it easier to apply force to the driving shaft 202.
[0034] In this embodiment, when in use, the driving shaft 202 is rotated to make the rotating disk 201 rotate around the axis of the driving shaft 202 , and the rotation of the rotating disk 201 drives the ring gear 106 to rotate, thereby achieving a rotation effect on the ring gear 106 .
