[0034] The limiting screw 54 is connected with the connecting plate 52 and movably inserted into the tightening seat 1, and the limiting screw 54 is arranged in a circular array and has three corresponding to the connecting plate 52. The nut of the limiting screw 54 is located at the top of the tightening seat 1, and in a free state, the limiting screw 54 limits the position of the expansion sleeve 3 to prevent the expansion sleeve 3 from being separated from the tightening seat 1.
[0035] The connecting disc 51 is provided with a connecting ring 511, and the connecting ring 511 is provided with three limiting grooves 512 arranged in a circular array, and the connecting plate 52 is located in the limiting groove 512. The pull rod sleeve 4 is provided with a pull rod shoulder 41 and a pull rod hole 42 at the top, the first adjusting ring 56 is arranged in the pull rod hole 42, the pull rod hole 42 is connected with the machine tool pull rod 83, the first adjusting ring 56 makes the end of the machine tool pull rod 83 tightly pressed in the pull rod hole 42, realizes reliable fixation, prevents loosening, and further ensures that the expansion mechanism and the workpiece 9 will not change position when rotating, and ensures the machining accuracy. The other end of the pull rod sleeve 4 is provided with a connecting screw hole 43, the connecting screw hole 43 is connected with the outer thread of the connecting sleeve 53, the connecting flange 531 at the bottom of the connecting sleeve 53 is tightly pressed on the connecting ring 511 of the connecting disc 51, the pull rod shoulder 41 is clamped on the top of the connecting disc 51, and the connecting disc 51 and the connecting flange 531 realize the fixation of the pull rod sleeve 4.

[0038] The connecting tapered sleeve 40 is used to connect with the machine tool spindle, and the tie rod sleeve 4 is used to connect with the machine tool tie rod 83. The machine tool tie rod 83 pulls the tensioning sleeve 3 to move towards the machine tool spindle. The tensioning sleeve 3 is tensioned on the inner hole of the workpiece 9 and drives the workpiece 9 to press against the support sleeve 2.
[0039] During operation, the connecting tapered sleeve 40 is inserted into the machine tool spindle, and the connecting tapered hole 401 rests against the machine tool spindle for positioning, making the tensioning mechanism coaxial with the machine tool spindle. The pull rod sleeve 4 is connected to the machine tool pull rod 83. Then, the workpiece 9 is inserted into the tensioning sleeve 3, and the end of the workpiece 9 abuts against the support boss 21 at the end of the support sleeve 2. At the same time, the anti-misalignment block 57 abuts against the workpiece 9 to limit the circumferential direction of the workpiece 9.

The outer circular surface of the tensioning sleeve 3 contacts the inner circular surface of the workpiece 9 and is tensioned on the inner circular surface of the workpiece 9. At the same time, the end face of the workpiece 9 is pressed against the support boss 21 to achieve the clamping of the workpiece 9. Because the outer circular surface formed by the tensioning sleeve 3 during tensioning always coincides with the axis of the tensioning sleeve 3, it ensures that the axis of the workpiece 9 after tensioning coincides with the axis of the machine tool spindle, thus eliminating the need for centering and ensuring high positioning accuracy. Since the tensioning is internal and the amount of tension is small, and the tensioning force is evenly distributed across the entire inner circular surface, the inner circular surface of the workpiece 9 is not easily deformed. This ensures both clamping force and prevents workpiece 9 from deforming, effectively guaranteeing machining accuracy. Tensioning is achieved through the machine tool tie rod 83, resulting in a compact structure and convenient use.

The dust cover 6 effectively prevents waste generated during processing from entering the interior of the mechanism, ensuring the accuracy of the mechanism, extending its service life, reducing maintenance frequency, and making its use more stable and reliable.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, on the basis of the above embodiment two, also includes elastic glue, elastic glue filled in the tension groove 31, prevent debris from the tension groove 31 into the inside.

The gas pipe joint 81 can be connected with the air inlet pipe 82 through the hose. The air inlet pipe 82 is movably inserted in the inside of the machine tool pull rod 83, and the air inlet pipe 82 is also inserted in the pull rod sleeve 4. The air hole 513 is a waist-shaped hole, which reduces the weight and realizes dynamic balance. The connecting cone sleeve 40 is provided with an annular air groove 402, which is communicated with the three second gas paths 14, thereby reducing the use amount of the gas pipe joint 81 and making the structure compact. The air groove 402 is provided with sealing rings on both sides. The pressure sensor connected with the gas detection gas path can detect the change of pressure, so as to judge whether there is a workpiece 9 and whether the workpiece 9 is in close contact with the support boss 21. Based on the principle of determining a plane by three points, if the detected pressure change does not meet the requirements, it indicates that the workpiece 9 fails to fully contact with the support boss 21, and the axis of the workpiece 9 does not coincide with the axis of the machine tool spindle, so the workpiece 9 needs to be clamped again, without manually centering the workpiece 9, thereby ensuring the accuracy of positioning and improving the machining precision and clamping efficiency.
[0046] The tensioning mechanism is mainly applied to numerical control lathes and is used for positioning and clamping of thin-walled workpieces. The workpiece positioning is accurate and the deformation is small. The mechanism is tensioned and positioned by the machine tool pull rod.
