[0038] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a rapid indexing and positioning mechanism of the present invention; the present application optimizes and improves the structure of the core shaft 300 in the prior art, and through the interaction of the insertion rod 361, the support plate 364 and the connecting spring 362, the support plate 364 in the core shaft 300 can extend outward, thereby supporting the cylindrical workpiece sleeved on the outside thereof, and can also meet the sleeve positioning of long cylindrical workpieces with different inner diameters, thereby achieving the technical effect of diversified structural dimensions of the core shaft 300, improved scope of application, improved stability during processing, and conducive to mechanical automation processing.

[0039] Embodiment 1: Figure 1 As shown, the present application discloses a rapid indexing and positioning mechanism, comprising a body 100, a laser head 200 for laser cutting a long cylindrical workpiece, a mandrel 300 for supporting and fixing the long cylindrical workpiece, an indexing top 400 for tightening and positioning the mandrel 300, a chuck mechanism 500 for clamping the indexing top 400 and the mandrel 300, a positioning assembly 600 for fixing the long cylindrical workpiece on the mandrel 300, a driving assembly 700 for driving the indexing top 400 to rotate, and a centering support mechanism 800 for supporting and adjusting the height of the axis of the mandrel 300;

[0040] The mandrel 300 is positioned between the positioning assembly 600 and the indexing top 400. The mandrel 300 can be divided into a clamping section 310, a first supporting section 320, a positioning shoulder 330, a workpiece mounting section 340, a second supporting section 350 and a supporting portion.

[0041] The workpiece mounting section 340 is a hollow structure, which is used to fit inside a long cylindrical workpiece and fix and support it;

[0042] The support portion is fixed inside the workpiece mounting section 340 , and the support portion has a circumferentially arranged support plate 364 , which is slidably connected inside the workpiece mounting section 340 in a detachable manner, and is used to support the inner wall of the long cylindrical workpiece and fix its position.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support portion includes an insert rod 361 and multiple groups of support components, and the multiple groups of support components are evenly arranged along the circumference of the workpiece mounting section 340, and each of the support components includes a connecting spring 362, a connecting plate 363, and a support plate 364;

[0044] The insert rod 361 is detachably connected to the left end of the workpiece mounting section 340, and is used to push the support assembly to extend radially along the core shaft 300 and support the long cylindrical workpiece sleeved on the outside thereof;

[0045] A plurality of connecting springs 362 are provided, uniformly fixed on the inner wall of the workpiece mounting section 340 and located radially outside the insertion rod 361, and are used to connect the workpiece mounting section 340 and the connecting plate 363;

[0046] The connecting plate 363 is a T-shaped structure, and the number thereof corresponds to the connecting springs 362 . The connecting plate 363 is fixed inside the workpiece mounting section 340 through the connecting springs 362 and is located radially outside the insert rod 361 .

[0047] The support plate 364 is fixed to one end of each connecting plate 363 away from the insertion rod 361 and is slidably connected inside the workpiece mounting section 340, and is used to squeeze the connecting plate 363 after the insertion rod 361 is inserted, so that the connecting plate 363 drives the support plate 364 to extend outward in the radial direction of the workpiece mounting section 340 to support the long cylindrical workpiece.

[0048] By manually replacing the insertion rods 361 of different sizes according to the long cylindrical workpieces of different radial sizes, the extended support plate 364 can be extended to different distances, so that it can better adapt to the positioning of long cylindrical workpieces with different inner diameters, and play a supporting role for the long cylindrical workpiece sleeved on the outside thereof, so that the present invention can meet the sleeve positioning of cylindrical workpieces with different radial sizes, avoid damage to the cylindrical workpiece during operation due to inappropriate size, causing deformation, and at the same time improve the stability and scope of application of the present invention.

[0049] Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the device during indexing and positioning, Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the cross-section of the vertically placed support plate 364 is an arc-shaped structure and the side in contact with the long cylindrical workpiece is provided with a rubber pad for fitting the arc-shaped inner wall of the long cylindrical workpiece; in order to improve the convenience of inserting the insertion rod 361 into the workpiece mounting section 340, preferably, the side of the connecting plate 363 close to the insertion rod 361 is an arc-shaped structure and the side in contact with the insertion rod 361 is provided with a guide slope.

[0050] The laser head 200, the indexing center 400, the chuck mechanism 500, the positioning assembly 600 and the centering support mechanism 800 are all indispensable mechanisms in the process of indexing and positioning the cylindrical workpiece, and are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] When the embodiment of the present application is actually used: first, before processing, a suitable insertion rod 361 is selected according to the inner diameter size of the long cylindrical workpiece, and the insertion rod 361 is fixed inside the workpiece mounting section 340 by manual operation. At this time, the connecting plate 363 is moved in the direction away from the insertion rod 361, and the connecting spring 362 is compressed. Under the action of the connecting plate 363, the support plate 364 extends outward along the radial direction of the workpiece mounting section 340 and supports the inner wall of the long cylindrical workpiece, so that the long cylindrical workpiece is sleeved on the outside of the workpiece mounting section 340. Then, the staff rotates the positioning assembly 600 and pushes the long cylindrical workpiece toward the positioning shaft shoulder 330, so that the positioning assembly 600 presses the long cylindrical workpiece onto the positioning shaft shoulder 330 Axial and circumferential positioning of the long cylindrical workpiece is achieved; secondly, the first supporting section 320 and the second supporting section 350 of the core shaft 300 are placed on the corresponding centering support mechanism 800, and the core shaft 300 is lifted to the same height by the centering support mechanism 800, and then the tip of the dividing tip 400 is adapted to be connected with the end of the core shaft 300, and the circumferential and axial positioning of the core shaft 300 is completed; finally, when the dividing tip 400 is rotated by a certain angle to drive the core shaft 300 to rotate synchronously around the axis of the core shaft 300, the long cylindrical workpiece completes the indexing rotation, and the laser head 200 can vertically perform local laser cutting on the long cylindrical workpiece, and so on, the laser cutting of the entire circumferential outer surface of the long cylindrical workpiece is completed.

[0052] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0053] By optimizing and improving the structure of the core shaft 300 in the prior art, and through the interaction of the insert rod 361, the support plate 364 and the connecting spring 362, the support plate 364 in the core shaft 300 can extend outward, thereby supporting the cylindrical workpiece sleeved on the outside thereof, and can also meet the sleeve positioning of cylindrical workpieces with different inner diameters, effectively solving the technical problems in the prior art that the core shaft 300 has a single structural size, a low scope of application, poor stability during processing and is not conducive to mechanical automation processing, and achieving the technical effect that the core shaft 300 has diverse structural types, an increased scope of application, improved stability during processing and is conducive to mechanical automation processing.

[0054] Embodiment 2: In order to further expand the scope of application of the present application, the present application proposes the following technical solutions to the above technical problems, and optimizes and improves the structure of the insertion rod 361 to improve the applicability of the present application, specifically:

[0055] like Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the types of the insertion rod 361 include a round rod structure and a conical rod structure, and its horizontal cross-section is one of a rectangle and an isosceles trapezoid. The left end of the insertion rod 361 is connected to the left end of the workpiece mounting section 340 by a threaded connection.

[0056] The types of the insert rod 361 include a cylindrical structure and a conical structure. The radial dimensions of the insert rod 361 of the cylindrical structure and the conical structure are optional and replaceable. After inserting the conical insert rod 361, the support plates 364 at different positions can extend out of the surface of the core shaft 300 at different distances, forming a vertical conical section with different radial dimensions at the left and right ends, so that it can better fit long cylindrical workpieces of different sizes or long cylindrical workpieces with different inner diameters at both ends, further expanding the scope of application of the present invention, improving applicability, and facilitating daily mechanical processing and manufacturing.

[0057] Embodiment 3: Considering that the evenly arranged support plates 364 have limited inner wall support area for the long cylindrical workpiece, it is impossible to provide all-round support. In addition, during the processing, the device may vibrate due to excessive processing power of the processing equipment, causing the indexing and positioning position of the long cylindrical workpiece to shift, resulting in inaccurate positioning processing. Therefore, in order to expand the support range and improve the vibration reduction effect, the following technical solutions are proposed for the above technical problems, specifically:

[0058] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a plurality of airbags 341 of equal length are evenly fixed on the outer side of the workpiece mounting section 340 along its circumference, the airbags 341 are connected to the air pump through pipes, and the airbags 341 and the support plates 364 are arranged alternately to further support the inner wall of the long cylindrical workpiece.

[0059] The cross section of the airbag 341 when placed vertically is in the shape of an arc strip, and the cross section in the vertical direction when fully expanded is in the shape of a fan.

[0060] The outer surface of the airbag 341 is provided with criss-cross anti-skid patterns to increase the friction with the inner wall of the long cylindrical workpiece and ensure the fixed position.

[0061] The airbag 341 is made of silicone rubber, which is resistant to high temperatures and has excellent flexibility and corrosion resistance. Therefore, during the indexing rotation and positioning process, due to the centrifugal force and extrusion force generated by the rotation, the airbag 341 can support the inner wall of the cylindrical workpiece mounted on its outside. At the same time, due to the flexibility of the airbag 341, the stability of the workpiece during processing can be improved and a buffering and shock-absorbing effect can be achieved, further improving the processing efficiency.

[0062] Embodiment 4: In order to further improve the vibration reduction effect and better fit the inner wall of the long cylindrical workpiece, and improve the positioning and processing efficiency, the present application proposes the following technical solutions for the above technical problems, specifically:

[0063] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the airbag 341 includes a plurality of small airbags 341 , which are connected to each other and the heights of the small airbags 341 from right to left gradually increase in the vertical direction.

[0064] The volume of the airbag 341 after being fully expanded is 1.5-3 times the original volume.

[0065] By connecting the small airbags 341 and filling the small airbags 341 at different positions with different amounts of gas, different expansion amounts are generated, which can better adapt to the long cylindrical workpieces with different inner diameters at both ends and support and reduce vibration, thereby improving the stability of the indexing rotation process. At the same time, the outer surface of the airbag 341 is provided with criss-cross anti-skid patterns, so when rotating or operating, it can increase the friction with the inner wall of the long cylindrical workpiece, improve the axial and circumferential positioning accuracy of the long cylindrical workpiece, and further prevent deviation.

[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
