[0034] Embodiment one

[0035] As Figures 1-4 shown, the present embodiment provides a high-precision vertical clamp, which comprises a shell 1, a main shaft 2 arranged in the shell 1, and a motor 5 driving the main shaft 2 to rotate through a conveying belt 3 and a pulley 4, characterized in that it further comprises an outer clamping overhang seat 6 rotating synchronously with the main shaft 2 and an outer push-pull fixing body 7 fixedly connected therewith, the outer push-pull fixing body 7 being provided with a guide groove 71;

[0036] At least two groups of clamping jaws 72 rotating synchronously with the outer push-pull fixing body and elastic clamping blocks 73 connecting the two groups of clamping jaws 72 are arranged in the guide groove 71;

[0037] and a rotary oil cylinder 74 driving the clamping jaws 72 to perform a vertical clamping action on a workpiece 8 in the guide groove 71 synchronously with the main shaft 2.

[0038] In the present embodiment, the outer clamping overhang seat 6, the outer push-pull fixing body 7 and the clamping jaws 72 all rotate synchronously with the main shaft 2, which is compared with the design of the clamping jaws 72 being fixed in the prior art to avoid the situation that the clamping jaws 72 are stuck at the contact end of the main shaft. In order to increase the smoothness of the rotation of the main shaft 2, a bearing 75 is adaptively arranged between the shell 1 and the main shaft 2, the bearing at this position is selected as a cylindrical roller bearing, the shell 1 and the outer clamping overhang seat 6 are detachably connected, and the maintenance convenience of the clamp is increased; the clamping jaws 72 are provided with three groups, and the three groups of clamping jaws 72 are all vulcanized together through the rubber structure in the elastic clamping blocks 73.

[0039] Combined Figure 4 shown, the guide groove 71 is tapered in shape with an increasing inner diameter away from the outer clamping overhang seat 6, and the clamping jaws are in contact with the tapered surface of the guide groove.

[0040] In the embodiment, the tapered surface of the guide groove 71 can cause the three clamping jaws 72 to simultaneously contract and press the elastic clamping block 73 when the rotary oil cylinder 74 pulls the clamping jaws 72 to move inward, so as to realize vertical clamping of the workpiece 8. When the rotary oil cylinder 74 pushes the clamping jaws 72 to move outward, the elastic clamping block 73 releases the elastic force to drive the three clamping jaws 72 to move away from each other. Compared with the mode of using an external power source to push the three clamping jaws 72 to simultaneously move close to the workpiece 8, the mode is more energy-saving, has better stability, and is more convenient.

[0041] As shown in the combination Figures 4-6 Each set of clamping jaws 72 and the elastic clamping block 73 are provided with a workpiece placing groove 76.

[0042] In the embodiment, the workpiece placing groove 76 is used to place the workpiece 8, which can ensure that the insertion depth of each workpiece 8 is the same, and when the workpiece 8 is completely inserted, the workpiece 8 cannot move in the radial direction of the workpiece 8, thereby increasing the stability of clamping the workpiece 8.

[0043] As shown in the combination Figure 7 The clamping jaw 72 is provided with a limiting groove 721, and the outer push-pull fixed body 7 is provided with an outer clamping limiting pin 722 penetratingly arranged and matched with the limiting groove 721.

[0044] In the embodiment, the outer clamping limiting pin 722 is fixed in the outer push-pull fixed body 7 through an outer clamping top screw 723. The outer clamping limiting pin 722 matched with the limiting groove 721 can prevent the clamping jaw 72 from moving inward excessively to excessively press the elastic clamping block 73 beyond the elastic deformation amount of the elastic clamping block 73, thereby damaging the elastic clamping block 73, and can also prevent the workpiece 8 from being clamped excessively to cause clamping marks on the surface of the workpiece 8.

[0045] As shown in the combination Figure 4 The outer clamping excessive seat 6 and the outer push-pull fixed body 7 are jointly provided with a working space 61, and the working space 61 is limited by an outer push-pull fixed seat 611. The outer push-pull fixed seat 611 is annular, and the inner ring thereof is provided with an outer clamping plug 612.

[0046] In the embodiment, the outer clamping plug 612 is used for secondary limiting of the clamping jaw 72 to prevent it from being excessively deep.

[0047] As shown in the combination Figure 9 The outer periphery of the outer clamping plug 612 is provided with a limiting groove 613, and the outer push-pull fixed seat 611 is provided with an outer clamping top screw 614 penetratingly arranged and matched with the limiting groove 613.

[0048] In the embodiment, the limiting groove 613 is annular, when limiting the limiting groove 613 by using the outer clamping top screw 614, only the outer clamping top screw 614 is screwed to abut against the limiting groove 613 to limit the outer clamping plug 612, compared with the mode that a single cylindrical groove cooperates with the outer clamping top screw 614, the annular limiting groove 613 can make the cooperation installation more convenient.

[0049] In combination Figure 10 As shown, the rotary oil cylinder 74 is arranged at one end of the main shaft 2 away from the outer clamping overhang 6, and the output end of the rotary oil cylinder 74 is connected with the pull rod 62, the pull rod 62 extends to the inside of the working space 61 through the inside of the main shaft 2, and one end of the pull rod 62 is connected with the guide 91 through the connecting piece 9, the outer push-pull fixed seat 611 is provided with a guide groove 615, the guide 91 slides in the guide groove 615, and the other end of the guide 91 is connected with the outer push-pull piece 92 for driving the action of the clamping jaw 72.

[0050] In the embodiment, the screw 93 is threadedly connected in the push-pull piece 92, the screw 93 extends to the inside of the connecting piece 9 through the guide 91 in the direction of the connecting piece 9 to fix the three, and the guide groove 615 can guide the guide 91 to increase the stability when the push-pull piece 92 moves; in some embodiments, the guide 91 can also be designed to be integrated with the push-pull piece 92 to reduce the installation difficulty.

[0051] In combination Figure 10 As shown, the clamping jaw 72 is provided with a push-pull groove 93 matched with the outer push-pull piece 92.

[0052] In the embodiment, the clamping jaw 72 is pushed and pulled by the outer push-pull piece 92 clamped into the push-pull groove 93, so that the clamping jaw 72 can be conveniently replaced alone, and the clamping jaw 72 is not replaced together with the outer push-pull piece 92 when the clamping jaw 72 is damaged.

[0053] In combination Figure 11 As shown, one end of the main shaft 2 away from the outer push-pull fixed body 7 is a tapered surface with a gradually decreasing diameter, and the tapered surface is provided with a tensioning sleeve 41 matched with the shape thereof and used for tensioning and positioning the belt pulley 4.

[0054] In the embodiment, the tensioning sleeve 41 is detachably connected with the end surface of the main shaft 2, the left side of the tensioning sleeve 41 is provided with a fixing piece 42, and the left side of the fixing piece 42 is fixedly connected with the rotary oil cylinder 74.
