AI Technical Summary
Existing three-jaw chucks, when used for welding tubular workpieces, suffer from jaw jamming due to thermal expansion and deformation of the workpiece. This can easily cause the drive motor to overload when releasing the workpiece, affecting the chuck's lifespan and reducing welding efficiency, making them unsuitable for large-volume continuous welding operations.
An electric chuck was designed, employing an anti-growth component and a clamping drive mechanism. The anti-growth component pre-releases the workpiece due to thermal deformation, and combined with the clutch of the clamping drive mechanism, it avoids motor overload, thereby achieving radial movement of the jaws for clamping and releasing. A rotary support and a rotary drive mechanism are added to accommodate the workpiece rotation requirements.
It effectively avoids overload of the chuck when releasing the workpiece, improves stability and service life, increases welding efficiency, and is suitable for large-volume continuous welding operations.

For example, a three-jaw chuck driven by a motor is disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN210702644U, which mainly comprises a main disc body and three clamping jaws arranged on the top of the main disc body. The chuck can automatically clamp and release the workpiece by controlling the clamping jaws through the motor. However, for pipe workpieces to be welded, the clamping jaws of the existing three-jaw chuck are expanded and stuck when the workpiece is deformed due to thermal expansion during the welding operation. If the workpiece is released by driving the chuck with the driving motor after the welding is completed, the driving motor is more likely to be overloaded, which will affect the overall service life of the chuck when used for a long time.

[0050] The clutch 404 can be an electromagnetic clutch.
[0051] As shown in Figures 1-7 The present application also relates to a use method of the electric chuck, and the steps are as follows:
[0052] 1) The clutch 404 of the clamping driving mechanism is powered and attracted, the clutch 404 connects the power transmission between the clamping speed reducer 402 and the clamping gear 403, the clamping motor 401 of the clamping driving mechanism is actuated, the clamping gear 403 of the clamping driving mechanism drives the chuck wire 102 of the chuck assembly to rotate, and the claw assembly moves along the chuck slide 1011 in the radial direction towards the center to clamp the workpiece;
[0053] 2) The claw 202 clamps the workpiece, the clutch 404 is powered off to cut off the power transmission between the clamping gear 403 of the clamping driving mechanism and the clamping speed reducer 402, and then the workpiece is subjected to corresponding working operation;
[0054] 3) After the workpiece is processed, the rotary air cylinder 301 rotates to drive the claw 202 to move away from the center relative to the claw seat 201, and the workpiece is loosened by the claw 202 moving backward in advance; the clutch 404 is powered and attracted, the clamping motor 401 is reversely actuated, the clamping gear 403 drives the chuck wire 102 to reversely rotate, and the claw assembly moves along the chuck slide 1011 in the radial direction away from the center to loosen the workpiece;
[0055] 4) After the workpiece is taken out, the rotary air cylinder 301 of the anti-expansion assembly rotates, the claw 202 resets, and the next workpiece is waited.
[0056] In step 2) above, when the workpiece needs to rotate during the machining operation, after the clutch 404 is de-energized, the rotary motor 501 of the rotary drive mechanism actuates, and the rotary gear 503 drives the outer ring 602 of the slewing support 6 to rotate. The chuck assembly rotates accordingly, and the workpiece clamped on the jaw assembly rotates accordingly. During the machining process, if the clamped workpiece still needs to rotate, the power transmission between the clamping reducer 402 and the clamping gear 403 can be cut off by the clutch 404 after the workpiece is clamped, avoiding interference with the rotary drive mechanism's rotational drive of the workpiece. The chuck not only adds the slewing support 6 and the rotary drive mechanism, making it applicable to situations where the workpiece needs to rotate; but also makes full use of the clutch 404 of the clamping drive mechanism to avoid interference with the rotation of the chuck assembly.
[0057] When workpiece clamping is required, clutch 404 is energized and engaged, and the clutch driving end 4042 and clutch driven end 4043 become an integral structure. Clamping motor 401 drives clamping reducer 402 to rotate, which in turn drives clamping gear 403 mounted on clutch spindle 4041 to rotate. The chuck assembly and anti-gear assembly move radially along chuck slide 1011 to clamp the workpiece under the drive of chuck screw 102. When clamping motor 401 reaches the preset torque, it indicates that chuck 202 has clamped the workpiece, clamping motor 401 stops rotating, clutch 404 is de-energized, and clutch driven end 4043 separates from clutch driving end 4042. Clutch driven end 4043 can passively rotate around clutch spindle 4041 under external force. During passive rotation, clamping motor 401 does not bear external force. When workpiece needs to be rotated, rotary motor 501 drives rotary reducer 502 and rotary gear 503 to rotate, further driving the workpiece. The outer ring 602 of the slewing support 6 rotates, thereby causing the chuck assembly mounted on the outer ring 602 of the slewing support 6 to rotate. When it is necessary to release the workpiece, the rotary cylinder 301 on the anti-gap assembly rotates clockwise. If it rotates 360°, the drive gear 302 mounted on the rotary cylinder 301 drives the adjusting screw 304 to rotate clockwise through the driven gear 303. At the same time, the adjusting screw 304 converts the rotation into the axial movement of the adjusting nut 305 through the thread, thereby pulling the sliding block 203 and the chuck 202 to move backward, pre-releasing the workpiece. After the rotary cylinder 301 moves to the position, the clutch 404 is energized and engaged. The clamping motor 401 drives the clamping reducer 402 to rotate, further driving the clamping gear 403 mounted on the clutch 404 to rotate. The chuck assembly and the anti-gap assembly move radially along the chuck slide 1011 under the drive of the chuck screw 102 to release the workpiece.
[0058] The present application pre-loosens the workpiece through the anti-swelling assembly after the workpiece clamped is processed, releases the thermal deformation of the workpiece in advance, effectively improves the problem that the chuck cannot loosen the workpiece after the workpiece is deformed due to heat, avoids the overload phenomenon of the driving motor when loosening the workpiece, greatly improves the stability of the chuck during use and prolongs the service life of the chuck, in addition, the electric chuck is simple to operate, can effectively improve the overall welding operation efficiency of the workpiece, and is suitable for large batch continuous welding operation.
[0059] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
