DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are now described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This figure is a simplified schematic diagram, which only illustrates the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.

[0021] according to Figure 1-2 As shown, the triangular positioning shaft 3 is a cylinder with three equal sides formed by cutting off three pieces of a cylinder. The central part of the triangular positioning shaft 3 has a three-section center hole concentric with the outer diameter. The upper part of the center is an inner tapered hole with a certain taper, and the middle part is a cylindrical hole. The inner tapered hole and the cylindrical hole surface must have a high degree of finish. The through hole diameter must be larger than the diameter of the clamping support rod 6. The lower part is an inner cylindrical hole with a diameter larger than the middle part, and the diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the first nut 5-1, which can prevent assembly interference; the bottom surface of the triangular positioning shaft 3 has three internal threaded holes at 120 degrees to each other, which are used with the second The screw 13 fixes the triangular positioning shaft to the circular bottom plate. A trapezoidal groove with a certain depth and angle is milled from the center in the three arc directions of the top surface of the triangular positioning shaft 3. The trapezoidal groove is a trapezoidal structure with a small top and a large bottom. A U-shaped opening groove with a certain width and parallel to the left and right is milled from the middle part on the right side of the trapezoidal groove to place the side block 10. The depth of the U-shaped opening groove is the same as the depth of the trapezoidal groove, and the width is less than the length of the trapezoidal groove. The three sides of the U-shaped groove need to have a relatively smooth surface. There is a threaded hole of a certain depth at the bottom of the U-shaped opening groove, which is used to fix the side block 10 in the U-shaped groove with screws. The three trapezoidal grooves and the U-shaped groove are distributed at 120 degrees from the center of the triangular positioning shaft;

[0022] The conical adjusting body 4 is a component with a cone at the upper end and a cylinder at the lower end. The outer surface of the cone and the cylinder needs to have a high degree of finish, wherein the taper of the cone part is the same as the taper of the inner cone hole at the center of the triangular positioning shaft 3, and the length of the cone is also the same; the diameter of the cylindrical part is the same as the diameter of the inner cylindrical hole at the center of the triangular positioning shaft 3, with a gap and a tight fit to ensure free movement, and the length of the cylinder is less than the length of the matching hole of the triangular positioning shaft 3; there is a stepped through hole at the center of the conical adjusting body 4, the small hole at the upper end of the stepped through hole at the center is gap-fitted with the clamping support rod 6, and the diameter of the large hole at the lower end of the stepped through hole is greater than the outer diameter of the first spring 7;

[0023] The trapezoidal centering block 8 is a rectangular block with a cross section of a trapezoidal shape that is small at the top and large at the bottom. The angle and height of the trapezoidal shape coincide with the trapezoidal groove on the triangular positioning shaft 3. The end of the trapezoidal centering block 8 that points to the axis is an inclined surface with the same taper angle as the conical part of the conical adjusting body 4. The length of the inclined surface is slightly less than the length of the conical part of the conical adjusting body 4. The other end of the trapezoidal centering block 8 is a convex arc surface or a pointed surface. A U-shaped groove is milled out of the trapezoidal centering block 8 toward one end of the U-shaped opening groove. The width of the U-shaped groove is the same as the width of the U-shaped opening groove on the triangular positioning shaft 3, and the depth of the U-shaped groove is greater than the radius of the second spring 9. When the trapezoidal centering block 8 is assembled into the trapezoidal groove, it is ensured that it can slide freely in the groove and will not be too loose.

[0024] There is a through threaded hole in the center of the circular bottom plate 1, which cooperates with the external thread at the bottom of the clamping support rod 6. The external thread at the bottom of the clamping support rod 6 passes through the first nut 5-1 and the threaded hole on the circular bottom plate 1 in turn, and the clamping support rod 6 is locked and fixed by the first nut 5-1. Three countersunk holes are set on the circular bottom plate 1 at positions relative to the threaded holes on the bottom surface of the triangular positioning shaft 3, which are used to fix the triangular positioning plate 3 to the circular bottom plate 1 with screws. There are 4 U-shaped fixing grooves distributed in an array with the center on the outer edge of the circular bottom plate 1, which are used to fix the chuck on the workbench of the vertical lathe with screws;

[0025] The clamping support rod 6 is a cylindrical rod with external threads on both the upper and lower ends, and the external threads on the upper end are longer.

[0026] according to Figure 3 As shown, the U-shaped groove of the trapezoidal centering block 8, the U-shaped opening groove of the triangular positioning shaft 3 and the side block 10 together form a small groove body, the width of the small groove body is slightly larger than the diameter of the second spring 9, and the length of the groove body is slightly shorter than the length of the second spring 9. The second spring 9 is installed in the small groove body and is in a compressed state; when the U-shaped notch of the trapezoidal centering block 8 is aligned with the U-shaped notch on the triangular positioning shaft 3, the inclined surface of one end of the trapezoidal centering block 8 is against the conical surface of the conical adjusting body 4, and the arc surface of the other end extends beyond the outer diameter of the cylinder of the triangular positioning shaft 3. The distances from the farthest points of the three trapezoidal centering blocks 8 to the center of the conical adjusting body 4 should be exactly the same, and the diameter of the fitting circle formed by the three end points should be smaller than the diameter of the clamping opening of the blank to be clamped. When the conical adjusting body 4 moves downward, the conical surface pushes the trapezoidal centering block 8 to move outward, and when the conical adjusting body 4 moves upward, the second spring 9 pushes the trapezoidal centering block 8 back to the state where the U-shaped groove is aligned with it.

[0027] according to Figure 4 As shown, a trapezoidal groove with a certain depth and angle is milled from the center in three arc directions of the top surface of the triangular positioning shaft 3. The trapezoidal groove is a trapezoidal structure with a small top and a large bottom. The trapezoidal centering block 8 is assembled in the trapezoidal groove of the triangular positioning shaft 3 that matches the trapezoidal centering block 8.

[0028] During assembly, first pass the external thread at the bottom of the clamping support rod 6 through the first nut 5-1 and the threaded hole on the circular bottom plate 1, and use the first nut 5-1 to lock the clamping support rod 6. Then, after the triangular positioning shaft 3 passes through the center hole of the clamping support rod 6, it is fixed to the bottom plate with three second screws 13, and the three trapezoidal centering blocks 8 are assembled into the three trapezoidal grooves of the triangular positioning shaft 3, with the trapezoidal centering block 8 inclined toward the center of the triangular positioning shaft 3, the arc facing outward, and the U-shaped groove aligned with the U-shaped groove next to the trapezoidal groove of the triangular positioning shaft 3. Then, the three side blocks 10 are fixed into the U-shaped groove of the triangular positioning shaft 3 with the first screws 11, and the U-shaped groove of the trapezoidal centering block 8 and the U-shaped groove of the triangular positioning shaft 3 are aligned. The opening groove and the side block together form a small groove body, and the three second springs 9 are placed in the small groove body; then, the first spring 7 is passed through the upper part of the clamping support rod 6 and falls into the bottom, and then the conical adjusting body 4 is passed through the clamping support rod 6 from the center of the bottom of the cylindrical end, so that the outer cylinder of the conical adjusting body 4 is inserted into the central cylindrical hole of the triangular positioning shaft 3, ensuring that there is a minimum gap for free movement, and at the same time, the inner large-diameter through hole of the conical adjusting body 4 is penetrated by the first spring 7, and the inner end face is against the end face of the first spring 7. The conical surface of the conical adjusting body 4 has the same angle as the upper conical surface of the central hole of the triangular positioning shaft 3, and can be completely fitted. The gasket 12 and the second nut 5-2 are successively passed through the upper part of the clamping support rod 6, and then the second nut 5-2 is screwed to abut against the upper plane of the conical adjusting body 4, and the second nut 5-2 is screwed downward until the conical surface of the conical adjusting body 4 fits with the inclined surface of the trapezoidal centering block 8, ensuring that the distance from the outermost end points of the three trapezoidal centering blocks 8 to the center of the conical adjusting body 4 is the same.

[0029] When in use, the second nut 5-2 is screwed downward to push the conical adjusting body 4 downward, and the conical surface of the conical adjusting body 4 fits with the inclined surfaces of the three trapezoidal centering blocks 8, pushing the three trapezoidal centering blocks 8 to move outward at the same time. At this time, even if the part hole is not placed correctly, the three trapezoidal centering blocks 8 that contact the inner wall of the part successively can push the part in the radial direction until the three outer end points are pressed against the inner wall of the part, and the part is locked at this time; because the three outer end points are always moving outward synchronously, no matter whether the part is placed correctly or not, the three outer end points will finally be pressed until the center of the part coincides with the center of the conical adjusting body 4, that is, the centering function is achieved. When loosening, the second nut 5-2 is rotated upward, and the compression elastic force of the first spring 7 pushes the conical adjusting body 4 upward, and at the same time, the three second springs 9 push the inner side wall of the groove of the trapezoidal centering block 8 to move the trapezoidal centering block 8 inward, and the part is loosened.

[0030] according to Figure 5As shown, the chuck can play a clamping role together with other supporting and clamping components. Three or more support rods 15 for the part to be processed are set on the circular base plate 1 to support the part, and then the nut 5 is rotated to lock and center the part through the chuck. Then, the opening of the part-to-be-processed pressure plate 14 is used to press the corresponding position of the part on the upper part, and the pressure plate is locked with a nut to complete the clamping and fixing of the part.

[0031] The present invention can simultaneously push the three trapezoidal centering blocks to expand outward by lifting the conical adjusting body, thereby achieving the effect of centering and clamping the inner diameter of the part to be processed. At the same time, the clamping support rod arranged in the middle part of the conical adjusting body can cooperate with the push rod and the pressure plate to simultaneously meet the operational requirements of clamping the part to be processed from the top, effectively clamping and fixing the parts, and saving tooling manufacturing costs.
