Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a fixture for CNC machine tools in the field of machining technology. Background Technology

[0002] When drilling holes in board-like workpieces such as wooden boards, the board material needs to be clamped, which requires the use of appropriate fixtures. Typically, these fixtures are mounted on a machine frame and include a support, a cylinder, and a pressure plate. The cylinder includes a cylinder body and a piston rod, with one end of the piston rod located inside the cylinder body and the other end connected to the pressure plate. Driven by the cylinder, the pressure plate presses against one side of the board material, while the other side of the board material is in contact with the support. Under the combined action of the pressure plate and the support, the board material is fixed in the fixture, facilitating the processing of the board material.

[0003] Current fixtures used for CNC five-sided drilling also employ a cylinder-driven clamping structure to position and fix the workpiece to be machined, and then the five-sided drill performs machining on five sides. However, during the fixing process, the fixture needs to clamp a portion of one side of the workpiece, resulting in a blind spot that cannot be machined during that part, thus hindering the machining process.

[0004] Meanwhile, current fixtures generally cannot be tilted at a certain angle for drilling or processing, which leads to a narrow range of applications for traditional pressure plate structures. The positioning function of traditional fixtures is gradually becoming inadequate and increasingly unable to meet the personalized machining needs of sheet materials.

The use of "first" and "second" in the description is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0033] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly defined, terms such as "setup," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The fixture for CNC machine tools in this embodiment includes a fixed base, a movable base, a tilting drive mechanism 300, a clamping base 400, and a clamping mechanism 500. The fixed base and the movable base constitute the main structure of the fixture. Specifically, the fixed base includes a fixed base body 110, a lifting push rod 120, and a base 130. The two ends of the lifting push rod 120 are connected to the fixed base body 110 and the base 130, respectively, so that the height of the fixed base body 110 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the lifting push rod 120.

[0035] The movable seat includes a movable seat body 210, a first lead screw 220, and a first motor 230. The movable seat body 210 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat body 110 to achieve flipping. The flipping drive mechanism 300 is connected to the fixed seat and drives the movable seat body 210 to flip. Multiple rollers are arrayed on the top of the movable seat body 210 to facilitate the movement of workpieces to the top of the movable seat body 210. A first groove 211 extending along a first direction x is formed on the side of the movable seat body 210. The first lead screw 220 rotates in the first groove 211, and the first motor 230 is connected to one end of the first lead screw 220 to drive it.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 Specifically, the flipping drive mechanism 300 includes a flipping motor 310 and a flipping gear 320. The flipping gear 320 is mounted on the hinge shaft of the movable seat body 210 and the fixed seat. A gear for meshing with the flipping gear 320 is mounted on the output shaft of the flipping motor 310, so that the flipping motor 310 can drive the flipping gear 320 to rotate, thereby driving the movable seat body 210 to flip.

[0037] The clamping seat 400 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 220. Driven by the first lead screw 220, the clamping seat 400 moves along the first slide groove 211, thereby changing its position in the first direction x. (Refer to...) Figure 3 The clamping seat 400 is also provided with a second slide groove 410 extending along the second direction y.

[0038] The clamping mechanism 500 is used to fix the workpiece. It includes a second lead screw, a lead screw seat 520, a telescopic drive member 530, and a pressure plate 540. The second lead screw rotates in the second slide groove 410. The lead screw seat 520 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw and moves along the second slide groove 410 driven by the second lead screw. The telescopic drive member 530 is fixedly connected to the lead screw seat 520. The pressure plate 540 is connected to the drive end of the telescopic drive member 530 and is driven by it to move along the third direction z. When it is necessary to fix the workpiece, the workpiece is placed on top of the movable seat body 210. The second lead screw drives the telescopic drive member 530 to approach the workpiece along the second direction y, and the telescopic drive member 530 drives the pressure plate 540 to press against the workpiece along the third direction z, thereby clamping and fixing the workpiece together with the movable seat body 210.

[0039] Furthermore, the clamping base 400 has two second sliding grooves 410 and two clamping mechanisms 500, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The clamping mechanism 500 also includes a linkage gear 550, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 The two clamping mechanisms 500 have intermeshing gears 550. When one gear 550 rotates, the other rotates in the opposite direction, causing the two lead screw seats 520 to move in opposite directions. When the fixing point of one of the pressure plates 540 interferes with machining, the other pressure plate 540 can be moved forward to fix the workpiece by rotating the gear 550, thereby changing the fixing point to make room for machining. Furthermore, the fixture for the CNC machine tool also includes a second motor 600, the output of which is connected to one of the gears 550, so that the second motor 600 drives the rotation of the gear 550.

[0040] Furthermore, the first lead screw 220 includes a left-handed portion and a right-handed portion with opposite directions of rotation. The left-handed portion and the right-handed portion are integral structures. There are two clamping seats 400, which are threadedly connected to the left-handed portion and the right-handed portion respectively. When the first lead screw 220 is rotated, the two clamping seats 400 can move closer to each other or further away from each other, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the distance between the two clamping seats 400.

[0041] Furthermore, the fixture for CNC machine tools also includes a side-pushing assembly 700, as shown in the reference. Figure 5The side-push assembly 700 includes a side-push seat 710, a side-push plate 720, and a side-push drive mechanism 730. The movable seat also includes a third lead screw 240 and a third motor 250. A third slide groove extending along a first direction x is formed on the side of the movable seat body 210. The third lead screw 240 rotates in the third slide groove. The third motor 250 is connected to one end of the third lead screw to drive it. The side-push seat 710 is threadedly connected to the third lead screw 240. Driven by the third lead screw 240, the side-push seat 710 moves along the third slide groove, thereby adjusting its position in the first direction x. The side-push drive mechanism 730 is mounted on the side-push seat 710 and drives the side-push plate 720 to move along a second direction y, thereby allowing the side-push plate 720 to apply a lateral force to the workpiece, thus adjusting the position of the workpiece on the movable seat body 210.

[0042] Specifically, the side-push drive mechanism includes a fourth lead screw 731, a fourth motor 732, two sliders 733, and two connecting rods 734. The side-push base 710 has a fourth sliding groove 711, in which the fourth lead screw 731 rotates. The fourth motor 732 is connected to one end of the fourth lead screw 731 to drive it. The fourth lead screw 731 includes a left-handed portion and a right-handed portion with opposite rotation directions. The two sliders 733 are threadedly connected to the left-handed portion and the right-handed portion of the fourth lead screw 731, respectively. One end of each of the two connecting rods 734 is hinged to one of the two sliders 733, and the other end of each connecting rod 734 is hinged to the side-push plate, thus forming a scissor structure. When the fourth lead screw 731 rotates, it can drive the side-push plate 720 to move along the second direction y.

[0043] Furthermore, the side-push drive mechanism 730 also includes a guide seat 735 and a guide rod 736. The guide seat 735 is fixedly connected to the side-push seat 710, and the guide rod 736 is slidably connected to the guide seat 735. The end of the guide rod 736 is fixed to the side-push plate, and two connecting rods 734 are symmetrically arranged about the guide rod 736. Thus, the guide rod 736 guides the movement of the side-push plate 720 and prevents it from deviating during movement.

[0044] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of this application. However, this application is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this application. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
