[0053] Example 1 - Smooth Cylindrical Pneumatic Locking Device
[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figures shown are a schematic diagram and a cross-sectional view of the internal structure of the smooth cylindrical pneumatic locking device of this embodiment. The smooth cylindrical pneumatic locking device of this embodiment includes a protective cover 1 and a locking assembly, and the protective cover 1 is provided with a locking channel 1a;
[0055] like Figure 2As shown in the figure, the locking assembly of the embodiment comprises a locking movable pressure block 2, a locking fixed pressure block 3 and a tapered roller bearing 4. In the embodiment, the tapered roller bearing 4 is a customized part, which comprises a tapered roller bearing outer ring 4a, a locking ring 4b and a tapered roller 4c. The tapered roller bearing 4 is arranged in the locking channel la with the tapered opening downward, and the tapered roller bearing outer ring 4a is fixed. The locking ring 4b is uniformly provided with a plurality of locking ring cutting grooves 4d along the generatrix direction. The outer wall of the locking movable pressure block 2 is in sliding fit with the wall of the locking channel la. The locking fixed pressure block 3 is fixedly arranged in the locking channel la. The outer wall of the locking movable pressure block 2 is in sliding fit with the inner wall of the locking fixed pressure block 3. The locking ring 4b moves synchronously with the locking movable pressure block 2. The gas cavity 5 is arranged between the locking movable pressure block 2, the locking fixed pressure block 3 and the wall of the locking channel la. The gas port 1b is arranged on the wall of the protective cover 1, and is in communication with the gas cavity 5. The gas pressure in the gas cavity 5 can be controlled by ventilating the gas cavity 5 through the gas port 1b, so as to control the up-and-down movement of the locking movable pressure block 2. Specifically, in the embodiment, the lower end of the locking movable pressure block 2 is in contact with the upper end of the locking ring 4b, so as to facilitate the locking movable pressure block 2 to exert a pushing force on the locking ring 4b.
[0056] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the smooth surface cylindrical pneumatic locking device further comprises an upper end cover 6 and a lower end cover 7. The upper end cover 6 and the lower end cover 7 are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the protective cover 1 respectively. The upper end cover 6 and the lower end cover 7 are respectively provided with a clearance port for accommodating the cylindrical part 14, and the clearance port is coaxial with the locking channel la. Figures 7-9 As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the upper end cover 6 is an annular thin-walled part, which comprises an upper end cover main body 6a and a cylindrical boss 6b arranged coaxially with the upper end cover main body 6a. The upper end cover main body 6a is provided with a plurality of counterbores, and screws pass through the counterbores to fix the upper end cover 6 to the upper end of the protective cover 1. In the embodiment, the inner wall of the upper end cover main body 6a is further provided with an annular groove 6c, and a dustproof rubber ring 6d is arranged in the annular groove 6c. In use, the inner wall of the cylindrical boss 6b is in clearance fit with the cylindrical part 14. The lower end cover 7 is also provided with a plurality of counterbores, and screws pass through the counterbores to fix the lower end cover 7 to the lower end of the protective cover 1.
[0057] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the upper end cover 6 and the locking movable pressure block 2 are uniformly provided with a locking dynamic spring 8 therebetween. The locking dynamic spring 8 is used to exert a pushing force on the locking movable pressure block 2. Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figures 7-9As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the bottom surface of the upper end cover 6 and the upper end of the locking dynamic pressure block 2 are uniformly provided with corresponding spring installation grooves 9, and the locking dynamic spring 8 is arranged in the spring installation groove 9, which is used to complete the installation and positioning of the locking dynamic spring 8. In the specific implementation, the size of the spring installation groove 9 should match the size of the locking dynamic spring 8 to prevent the axis from deviating, and the number of the spring installation groove 9 depends on the required locking force. Under the action of the locking dynamic spring 8, the locking dynamic pressure block 2 can slide axially, and the locking ring 4b can move up and down. Under the extrusion action of the tapered roller 4c, the locking ring 4b elastically deforms to realize the locking and opening actions. When the gas port 1b is connected to the gas source, the pressure in the gas cavity 5 exerts a pushing force on the locking dynamic pressure block 2 to offset the force of the locking dynamic spring 8. At this time, the locking ring 4b is in a loosened state. When the gas port 1b is disconnected from the gas source, the locking dynamic spring 8 pushes the locking ring 4b to move downward and drives the locking ring 4b to lock under the action of the tapered roller 4c. The locking mechanism is a normally closed mechanism. When the gas cavity 5 is at atmospheric pressure, the locking dynamic spring 8 provides a downward pushing force for the locking dynamic pressure block 2, the lower end of the locking dynamic pressure block 2 pushes the locking ring 4b downward, and the locking ring 4b elastically deforms inward under the action of the tapered roller 4c, thereby realizing the technical purpose of embracing and locking the cylindrical part 14.
[0058] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the outer wall of the locking dynamic pressure block 2 and the wall of the locking channel 1a are provided with a sealing ring 10, the outer wall of the locking dynamic pressure block 3 and the wall of the locking channel 1a are provided with a sealing ring 10, and the outer wall of the locking dynamic pressure block 2 and the inner wall of the locking dynamic pressure block 3 are provided with a sealing ring 10. Specifically, in the embodiment, the outer wall of the locking dynamic pressure block 2 is provided with a first installation groove 2a along the circumference thereof, the outer wall of the locking dynamic pressure block 3 is provided with a second installation groove 3a along the circumference thereof, the inner wall of the locking dynamic pressure block 3 is provided with a third installation groove 3b along the circumference thereof, and the first installation groove 2a, the second installation groove 3a and the third installation groove 3b are provided with a sealing ring 10. By arranging the sealing ring 10 at the above three positions, the gas sealing performance of the gas cavity 5 can be improved.
[0059] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 In the embodiment, an annular boss 1c for limiting the tapered roller bearing 4 is arranged in the locking channel 1a in the radial direction. The tapered roller bearing 4 is prevented from moving axially, so that the position of the tapered roller bearing outer ring 4a remains fixed.
[0060] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, a linear bearing 11 is arranged in the locking channel 1a, which is used to limit the cylindrical part 14 and prevent the axis from deviating. In the embodiment, the linear bearing 11 is fixed through the lower end cover 7. The embodiment also includes an oil cup 1d, which is used to lubricate the linear bearing 11. In use, the outer wall of the cylindrical part 14 is in sliding fit with the inner wall of the linear bearing 11, which can effectively prevent the axis of the cylindrical part 14 from deviating and provide a guiding effect for the cylindrical part 14 and eliminate the lateral play of the cylindrical part 14.
[0061] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the smooth cylindrical pneumatic locking device also includes a control source, which includes a proximity switch 12 and a gas pipe joint 13. The sensing area of the proximity switch 12 is located below the locking dynamic pressure block 2 and is used to detect the position of the locking dynamic pressure block 2. The gas pipe joint 13 is connected with the gas port 1b and is used to connect the gas source. Specifically, in the embodiment, the protective cover 1 is provided with a proximity switch mounting hole 1e and a gas pipe joint mounting hole 1f for mounting the proximity switch 12 and the gas pipe joint 13, respectively.
[0062] The working process of the smooth cylindrical pneumatic locking device of the embodiment is as follows:
[0063] Locking process: the system detects that the locking dynamic pressure block 2 is located at the upper end through the proximity switch 12, and the control system issues a gas source cut-off instruction. The locking dynamic spring 8 pushes the locking dynamic pressure block 2 to press the locking ring 4b downward. The locking ring 4b is elastically deformed inwardly under the extrusion of the conical roller 4c, and the locking of the cylindrical part 14 is completed.
[0064] Cancel locking process: the system detects that the locking dynamic pressure block 2 is located at the lower end through the proximity switch 12, and the control system issues a gas source opening instruction. The gas pressure in the gas cavity 5 overcomes the pushing force of the locking dynamic spring 8, so that the locking dynamic pressure block 2 moves upward, the locking ring 4b releases the clamping force on the shaft under the elastic recovery of the locking ring 4b, and the canceling locking work is completed.
