Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of parts processing, in particular to a clamp. Background Art
[0002] Currently, a common clamping method used on CNC machine tools, grinding machines, and other applications is to use a pressure plate to hold the workpiece in place. The fixture structure consists of a fixture support, pressure plate, base, and locking screws. To use, the pressure plate is placed in the fixture slot and pressed against the top surface of the workpiece. The screws are tightened from top to bottom to hold the workpiece in place. To replace the pressure plate, the screws are loosened and the workpiece is placed in the desired position, and the process is repeated. This type of pressure plate fixture has a simple structure and a wide range of applications.
[0003] However, in actual work, it was found that the traditional pressure plate relies on the upper surface of the workpiece to press the workpiece. If the upper surface of the workpiece is also the surface to be processed, it is necessary to use a local overlapping plate and milling in multiple times. This method requires workers to repeat clamping many times, resulting in accumulated errors and affecting product quality; or the length of the blank can be increased to leave space for the overlapping plate for milling, and finally the overlapping is removed. This method has a long process flow and a long work cycle, low work efficiency and increased material costs.
[0004] Therefore, some machine tools use side top clamps, that is, the side wall of the workpiece is clamped by the clamp to completely expose the surface to be processed, avoiding processing interference or material waste.
[0005] Since the size of the side wall of the workpiece is much smaller than the size of the surface to be machined, it is difficult for the transmission clamp to clamp the peripheral side wall of the workpiece, and the clamping stability is poor.
[0006] Based on this, some existing side top clamps include a first-level top block and a second-level top block. After the first-level top block abuts against the side wall of the workpiece, the second-level top block is driven to extend from the first top block and further abut against the side wall of the workpiece. Since the contact area between the second-level top block and the workpiece is smaller than the contact area between the first-level top block and the workpiece, the side is more conducive to complete contact between the abutting surface and the side wall for clamping and fixing.
[0007] Commonly, one end of the secondary top block is an inclined surface, and one end of the control block is an inclined surface that matches it. Through the abutment of the two inclined surfaces, as the inclined surface of the control block is pressed, part of the vertical pressure is converted into a horizontal force, so that the secondary top block can extend from the primary top block. The control block is self-locking through a bolt connection, and the abutment relationship between the secondary top block and the workpiece is maintained by the abutment tube.
[0008] However, during use, it was found that when the workpiece vibrated or was impacted during processing, the control block was subjected to horizontal and vertical forces due to the abutment mode of the inclined surface. The horizontal force was used on the inclined surface, causing the two inclined surfaces to squeeze each other, and the edges gradually showed extrusion deformation, resulting in a shortening of the inclined surface stroke; while the vertical force acted on the threaded connection, making the threaded connection extremely easy to be damaged and fail, resulting in the need to frequently replace threaded parts.
[0009] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a clamp to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0027] When a workpiece needs to be fixed, the workpiece's surface to be machined faces away from the support seat, and the fixing block is installed on the support seat so that the abutment portion of the abutment arm abuts against the side wall of the workpiece. To further fix the workpiece, the first rotating shaft is twisted, and the first rotating shaft rotates with the first cam. The side wall of the first cam abuts the first abutment block and moves along the first guide surface from the idle position to the locked position. The first abutment block gradually approaches the side wall of the workpiece until it reaches the locked position, completing the abutment with the side wall of the workpiece. This design reduces the clamping area and only requires clamping on the side wall of the part, avoiding clamping on the upper surface. Compared with traditional pressure plates, it leaves more machining space, simplifies the processing process, and improves work efficiency.
[0028] Furthermore, to prevent the workpiece from vibrating or being impacted during machining, the workpiece further acts on the first abutment block with a reverse force, causing the first abutment block to move from the self-locking position to the idle position. The first abutment block then abuts against the first cam, causing the first cam to rotate and release the lock. To this end, the first locking assembly in this embodiment has a self-locking mechanism. For ease of description, in this embodiment, the first cam rotates clockwise to push the first abutment block from the idle position to the locked position.
[0029] When the first abutment block is in the idle position, the abutment position between the first cam and the first abutment block is located in the semicircular area between 0 o'clock, 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock. When the first abutment block is in the locked position, the abutment position between the first cam and the first abutment block is located in the semicircular area between 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock, and the first rotating shaft is located on a straight line passing through 0 o'clock and 6 o'clock. When the first abutment block is in the locked position, the workpiece applies a force to the first abutment block, and the first abutment block can only continue to rotate clockwise against the first cam. Since the anti-rotation portion abuts against the first cam to limit the first cam from continuing to rotate clockwise, the first cam continues to abut the first abutment block in the locked position. When it is necessary to unlock the workpiece, the first rotating shaft is rotated counterclockwise, and the abutment position between the first cam and the first abutment block returns to the semicircular area between 0 o'clock, 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock, contacting the self-locking state of the locking assembly, and the first abutment block returns to the idle position against the first cam.

[0049] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a clamp, including a support base 10, a fixed block 30, an abutting arm 40 and a first locking assembly. The support base 10 is used to place a workpiece 20; the fixed block 30 is installed on the support base 10, and the fixed blocks 30 are arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the workpiece 20; one end of the abutting arm 40 is connected to the fixed block 30, and the other end is provided with an abutting portion 41, which can abut against the side wall of the workpiece 20, and the abutting portion 41 is provided with a first mounting groove 411 on the side facing the workpiece 20; the first locking assembly includes a first rotating shaft 51, a first abutting block 52 and a first cam 53, and the first rotating shaft 51 passes through the abutting portion 41 And it is rotatably connected, a first cam 53 is fixed to one end of the first rotating shaft 51, the first cam 53 is located in the first mounting groove 411, and a first guide surface is also provided in the first mounting groove 411, the first abutment block 52 is slidably connected to the first guide surface, and the first abutment block 52 includes an idle position away from the workpiece 20 and a locking position abutting against the workpiece 20, and the circumferential side wall of the first cam 53 can abut against the first abutment block 52, for driving the first abutment block 52 to move along the first guide surface from the idle position to the locking position.
[0050] Specifically, the first guide surface is an inclined surface, one end of which is connected to the bottom wall of the first installation groove 411 , and the other end of which is connected to the end surface of the abutting portion 41 .
[0051] When it is necessary to fix the workpiece 20, the surface to be processed of the workpiece 20 is turned away from the support base 10, and the fixing block 30 is installed on the support base 10 so that the abutting portion 41 of the abutting arm 40 abuts against the side wall of the workpiece 20. In order to further fix the workpiece 20, the first rotating shaft 51 is twisted, and the first rotating shaft 51 rotates with the first cam 53. The side wall of the first cam 53 abuts the first abutting block 52 and moves along the first guide surface from the idle position to the locked position. The first abutting block 52 gradually approaches the side wall of the workpiece 20 until it reaches the locked position, completing the abutment with the side wall of the workpiece 20. This design has a small clamping area and only needs to be clamped on the side wall of the part, avoiding clamping on the upper surface. Compared with traditional pressure plates, more machining space is reserved, which simplifies the processing technology and improves work efficiency.
[0052] Furthermore, to prevent the workpiece 20 from vibrating or being impacted during machining, the workpiece 20 further acts on the first abutment block 52 with a reverse force, causing the first abutment block 52 to move from the locked position to the idle position. The first abutment block 52 then abuts against the first cam 53, causing the first cam 53 to rotate and release the lock. To this end, the first locking assembly in this embodiment has a self-locking mechanism. For ease of description, in this embodiment, the first cam 53 rotates clockwise to push the first abutment block 52 from the idle position to the locked position.
[0053] Specifically, a rotation-stopping portion 412 is provided in the first mounting groove 411. When the first abutting block 52 is in the idle position, the abutting position of the first cam 53 and the first abutting block 52 is located on one side of the first rotating shaft 51. When the first abutting block 52 is in the locked position, the abutting position of the first cam 53 and the first abutting block 52 is located on the other side of the first rotating shaft 51, and the first cam 53 abuts against the rotation-stopping portion 412 along the rotation direction. With this arrangement, when the first abutting block 52 is in the idle position, the abutting position of the first cam 53 and the first abutting block 52 is located in the semicircular area between 0 o'clock, 3 o'clock, and 6 o'clock. When the first abutting block 52 is in the locked position, the abutting position of the first cam 53 and the first abutting block 52 is located in the semicircular area between 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock, and 12 o'clock, and the first rotating shaft 51 is located on a straight line passing through 0 o'clock and 6 o'clock. When the first abutment block 52 is in the locked position, the workpiece 20 applies a force to the first abutment block 52, forcing the first abutment block 52 to continue rotating clockwise against the first cam 53. Since the anti-rotation portion 412 abuts against the first cam 53, it restricts further clockwise rotation of the first cam 53, causing the first cam 53 to continue to abut against the first abutment block 52 in the locked position. To release the workpiece 20, the first rotating shaft 51 is rotated counterclockwise, and the abutment position of the first cam 53 and the first abutment block 52 returns to the semicircular area between 0 o'clock, 3 o'clock, and 6 o'clock, returning the contact locking assembly to its self-locking state. The first abutment block 52 abuts against the first cam 53 and returns to the idle position.
[0054] Optionally, a rubber pad is provided on the end surface of the abutting portion 41 and / or the first abutting block 52 facing the workpiece 20. This arrangement forms a soft contact between the clamp and the side wall of the workpiece 20, preventing scratches or other bumps or extrusion damage to the side wall of the workpiece 20 or the abutting surface of the clamp during clamping or processing.
[0055] Optionally, the first locking assembly further includes a first elastic member 54, which is disposed in the first mounting groove 411. The active end of the first elastic member 54 is connected to the first abutting block 52, so that the first abutting block 52 has a tendency to move along the first guide surface away from the workpiece 20. This arrangement enables the first abutting block 52 to quickly return to an idle position when the lock with the workpiece 20 is released, and maintains the first abutting block 52 in the idle position when the clamp is in the idle state, thereby ensuring that the abutting portion 41 of the abutting arm 40 can stably abut against the side wall of the workpiece 20 when the clamp is clamped again.
[0056] Optionally, the first abutment block 52 is cylindrical, and the first cam 53 abuts against the cylindrical side. This arrangement reduces friction between the first abutment block 52 and the first guide surface, making it easier for the first cam 53 to drive the first abutment block 52 to slide on the first guide surface.
[0057] Furthermore, the circumference of the cylinder abuts against the sidewall of the workpiece 20, and the generatrix of the cylinder is parallel to the sidewall of the workpiece 20. Because the first abutting block 52 is cylindrical, when the generatrix of the cylinder is parallel to the sidewall of the workpiece 20, the contact between the first abutting block 52 and the sidewall of the workpiece 20 approaches line contact, resulting in a small contact area. This is particularly suitable for workpieces 20 with smaller sidewalls or when the sidewalls of the workpiece 20 have a certain inclination angle.
[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, this application takes the cylindrical first abutment block 52 as an example to analyze the force on the workpiece 20 in the locked state. The derivation process is as follows:
[0059] F1+F2=F Q
[0060]
[0061]
[0062]
[0063] Where: F1-friction force of the workpiece on the wedge, N;
[0064] F2- friction force of the clamp body against the wedge, N;
[0065] F J - Clamping force of the wedge on the workpiece, N;
[0066] α-wedge rise angle,°
[0067] F Q -Force applied to the wedge, N
[0068] - Friction angle between the wedge and the workpiece, °
[0069] - Friction angle between the wedge and the clamping body, °
[0070] set up When α is very small (α≤10°), the following formula can be used for approximate calculation
[0071]
[0072] It can be seen that the fixture has an amplifying effect on the applied force, which verifies the rationality of the structural design.
[0073] Optionally, two elastic members are fixed in the first mounting groove 411, one end of the two elastic members is fixed to the abutting portion 41, and the other end is fixed to the axial ends of the first abutting block 52. This arrangement allows the first abutting block 52 to be evenly stressed and balanced.
[0074] Optionally, the clamp further includes a support block 60, which is located on the side of the abutting arm 40 facing away from the workpiece 20, and one end of the support block 60 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 30. The abutting arm 40 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 30, and the two rotation axes are parallel. The abutting portion 41 can move closer to or farther away from the side wall of the workpiece 20, and the other end of the support block 60 can abut against the abutting arm 40. The distance between the two rotation axes is smaller than the distance between the two ends of the support block 60. The abutting arm 40 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 30, so that the abutting arm 40 and the fixed block 30 can be clamped at a certain angle. When it is necessary to clamp a workpiece 20 with a side wall having a certain inclined angle, the angle between the abutting arm 40 and the fixed block 30 is adjusted so that the abutting surface of the abutting portion 41 can still stably abut against the side wall of the workpiece 20. The support block 60 then abuts the abutting arm 40 to maintain the inclined angle, thereby supporting the abutting portion 41 to continuously abut against the inclined side of the workpiece 20. Such a design makes the fixture provided in the present application suitable for clamping workpieces 20 with different contours, improves the adaptability of the fixture, solves the problem of difficult clamping of workpieces 20 with complex contours, and increases the scope of application.
[0075] Optionally, a second elastic member is further included, disposed between the support block 60 and the fixed block 30. The active end of the second elastic member is connected to the support block 60, so that one end of the support block 60 has a tendency to move toward the side where the abutment arm 40 is located. This arrangement allows the support block 60 to maintain abutment with the abutment arm 40 at all times. Once the angle between the abutment arm 40 and the fixed block 30 is adjusted according to the inclination angle of the side wall of the workpiece 20, the fixation is completed without further adjustment of the support block 60.
[0076] Optionally, a plurality of slots 42 are formed on the side of the abutment arm 40 facing away from the workpiece 20, and one end of the support block 60 is plugged into one of the slots 42. The slots 42 are sequentially distributed between the first rotating shaft 51 and the abutment portion 41. With this arrangement, the engagement of the support block 60 with the slots 42 prevents the support block 60 from sliding relative to the abutment arm 40 while maintaining the angle between the abutment arm 40 and the fixed block 30. This provides a more secure support for the abutment arm 40 by the support block 60.
[0077] Optionally, the support seat 10 is provided with a T-slot 11, the fixed block 30 is located in the T-slot 11 and is slidably connected to the support seat 10, and a second mounting groove 31 is provided on the side of the fixed block 30 facing away from the workpiece 20. The second locking assembly includes a second rotating shaft 32 and a second abutment block 34. The second rotating shaft 32 passes through the fixed block 30 and is rotatably connected. A second cam 33 is fixed to one end of the second rotating shaft 32, and the second cam 33 is located in the second mounting groove 31. A second guide surface is also provided in the second mounting groove 31. The second abutment block 34 is slidably connected to the second guide surface. The second abutment block 34 includes an idle position and an abutment position. When in the abutment position, the second abutment block 34 is away from the support seat 10. When in the abutment position, the second abutment block 34 abuts against the bottom wall of the mounting groove, and the fixed block 30 abuts against the limiting protrusion 111 of the T-slot 11. The peripheral side wall of the second cam 33 abuts against the second abutment block 34, which is used to drive the second abutment block 34 to move along the second guide surface from the idle position to the locking position.
[0078] Specifically, the support base 10 is provided with T-shaped slots 11 along the first direction and the second direction to form a grid-like distribution, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0079] Specifically, the T-slot 11 extends along the first direction or the second direction and passes through the end surfaces of the support base 10 on opposite sides, forming installation entrances on the end surfaces, and the fixing block 30 enters the T-slot 11 from the installation entrances.
[0080] With this arrangement, the fixed block 30 can slide along the T-slot 11 to adjust the abutment position and angle between the abutment arm 40 and the side wall of the workpiece 20, depending on the size of the workpiece 20 and the inclination angle of the side wall. After debugging is completed, the second rotating shaft 32 is rotated, and the second cam 33 abuts the second abutment block 34 from the idle position to the locked position. During this process, the fixed block 30 gradually moves toward the open end along the depth direction of the T-slot 11. When the second abutment block 34 is in the locked position, it abuts the bottom wall of the T-slot 11, and the end surface of the fixed block 30 facing away from the second mounting slot 31 abuts the limiting protrusion 111 of the T-slot 11. The relative position of the fixed block 30 and the support base 10 is fixed, thereby making the abutment between the abutment arm 40 and the side wall of the workpiece 20 more stable.
[0081] It should be noted that the first locking assembly and the second locking assembly only differ in installation position and function objects, but their structures are roughly the same, that is, the second locking assembly can also have other structural features of the first locking assembly, which will not be repeated here.
[0082] Optionally, a handle 55 is connected to the other end of the first rotating shaft 51 and / or the second rotating shaft 32. This configuration makes it easier for the operator to rotate the rotating shaft. In particular, when the abutment block contacts the side wall of the workpiece 20 and needs to be further abutted, the abutment block receives a reaction force from the workpiece 20, which damps the rotation of the cam. The operator increases the torque between the abutment block and the rotating shaft by using the handle 55, which helps to overcome the resistance and rotate the rotating shaft more effortlessly.
[0083] The specific operation of the fixture provided in this application is as follows:
[0084] S1. Place the workpiece 20 on the support base 10 with the surface to be processed facing away from the support base 10 .
[0085] S2. The fixed block 30 enters the T-slot 11 from the installation entrance and moves along the T-slot 11 relative to the support seat 10 toward the side where the workpiece 20 is located. After the abutting portion 41 of the abutting arm 40 contacts the side wall of the workpiece 20, the fixed block 30 continues to move, and the angle between the abutting arm 40 and the fixed block 30 is adjusted until the abutting portion 41 of the abutting arm 40 contacts and fixes the side wall of the workpiece 20 as much as possible. The second rotating shaft 32 is rotated to fix the fixed block 30 at its current position.
[0086] S3 . Rotate the first rotating shaft 51 so that the first abutting block 52 moves from the idle position to the locked position, further fixing the workpiece 20 .
[0087] It should be noted that step S3 requires the abutting portions 41 on opposite sides of the workpiece 20 to be performed simultaneously.
[0088] Furthermore, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions are possible for those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
