Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of clamping tools, in particular to an automatic correction valve clamping tool. Background Art

[0002] When the existing valve is processed, when the manipulator sends the parts to the chuck, the outer diameter of the two ends of the valve is fixed with a "V" block, and then the chuck is manually rotated, and the set pointer is used to adjust the loose and tight clamping claws to calibrate the inner diameter of the middle flange; then the chuck is manually rotated to level the end face of the middle flange. Its disadvantage is that when the valve parts are produced, the outer diameters of the two ends of the valve are set with risers. When the risers are removed, the outer diameters of the two ends of the valve parts are not concentric. Only the "V" groove is used to fix the outer diameters of the two ends of the valve for clamping, and the valve moves, resulting in eccentricity and unevenness of the valve. Therefore, every time a valve is replaced for processing and clamping, the loose and tight clamping claws must be manually adjusted. For the rounding and leveling of the processed valve, the manual operation error is large, which will affect the accuracy of the valve processing and cannot guarantee the quality of the valve processing; and the long-term cycle operation has low production efficiency, which is not conducive to the quality of the product and is not suitable for mass production.

[0019] The side surface of the base 1 is flush with the outer surface of the L-shaped hinge block 3 . A baffle 9 is installed on the side surface of the base 1 . The baffle 9 fits the L-shaped hinge block 3 . The baffle 9 is used to block and limit the L-shaped hinge block 3 .

[0020] The structure of the support seat 5 is a hollow hexagonal shell and the end face of the hollow hexagonal shell is a tooth surface structure. The support seat 5 is set as a hollow structure to facilitate fixing the support seat 5 on the L-shaped hinge block 3 by screws, and the tooth surface structure improves the clamping stability.

[0021] The end faces of the base 1 are located on both sides of the limit block 8 and are fixed with V-shaped blocks 10 with V-shaped grooves on the end faces. The V-shaped grooves on the V-shaped blocks 10 match the outer diameters of the flanges at both ends of the valve 12 and assist in clamping the round flanges at both ends of the valve 12.

[0022] The end of the spring plunger 7 is provided with a spring-connected steel ball 11, which abuts against the L-shaped hinge block 3. The steel ball 11 can be adjusted for lift and retraction under the action of the spring. The spring plungers 7 on the two clamping units are arranged opposite to each other and the support seat 5 is arranged on the opposite side surface of the L-shaped hinge block 3 that fits the spring plunger 7.

[0023] The working principle of the present invention is: two clamping units are symmetrically fixed on the claws of the lathe chuck, the manipulator fixes the inner diameter of the center hole of the valve 12, and the valve 12 is sent to the center position of the chuck. The back of the flange of the valve 12 is close to the limit block 8, and then the two parts of the tooling are clamped toward the center. While clamping, the four support seats 5 are tightly clamped on the upper and lower surfaces of the flange of the valve 12. At this time, the stroke of the standard spring plunger 7 is shortened, and the L-shaped hinged block rotates with the pin 4 as the axis, so that the clamping block 6 on the L-shaped hinged block synchronously clamps the other two side surfaces of the flange of the valve 12, and the V-shaped blocks 10 on both sides simultaneously assist in clamping the round flanges at both ends of the valve 12. This tooling is fast in clamping, and leveling and alignment are completed at the same time. It is easy to operate, reduces labor intensity, and improves production efficiency and processing quality, which is convenient for mass processing and production of valves 12.
