[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Embodiment 1:

[0033] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, a universal zero-point positioning clamping device for CNC machine tools comprises:

[0034] A base 1, the upper surface of the base 1 is provided with a chuck mounting groove 11, and the lower surface thereof is provided with a telescopic control groove 12;

[0035] The chuck body 2 comprises an upper fixed plate 21, a movable lifting ring 22, a positioning column 23, a positioning ball 24, a spring 25 and an extension rod 26. The upper fixed plate 21 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base 1 by bolts, the movable lifting ring 22 is slidably mounted inside the chuck mounting groove 11, the positioning column 23 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the bottom of the chuck mounting groove 11 by bolts, the positioning ball 24 is placed on the upper surface of the positioning column 23 in an annular array, and it contacts the inclined surface of the inner hole of the movable lifting ring 22, the two ends of the spring 25 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable lifting ring 22 and the lower surface of the upper fixed plate 21 respectively, and the extension rod 26 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the movable lifting ring 22 in an annular array, and it penetrates into the interior of the telescopic control groove 12;

[0036] The upper pressure mechanism 3 includes an inflatable expansion component 31 and a lower fixed plate 32. The inflatable expansion component 31 includes a bottom plate 311, a circular ring 312, an expansion ring 313 and a top plate 314. The upper surface of the bottom plate 311 is fixedly connected to the circular ring 312, the lower surface of the expansion ring 313 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the circular ring 312, the top plate 314 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the expansion ring 313, and the lower fixed plate 32 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the base 1 by bolts, and is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 311 by bolts;

[0037] The inflation mechanism 4 includes an inflation pipe joint 41 and a connecting hose 42. The inflation pipe joint 41 is fixedly mounted on one side outer wall of the base 1. One end of the connecting hose 42 is connected to the inflation pipe joint 41, and the other end thereof extends to the interior of the telescopic control groove 12 and is connected to the inflation expansion component 31.

[0038] The pull nail 5 has a side surface provided with a clamping groove 51 which cooperates with the positioning ball 24 and is clamped.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, by setting the upper fixed plate 21, the movable lifting ring 22, the positioning column 23, the positioning ball 24 and the spring 25, and cooperating with the chuck mounting groove 11 opened on the base 1, it is possible to form the zero-point chuck in the prior art except for the entire structure of the inflation channel, which is a common part in the prior art. By setting the upper pressing mechanism 3, when compressed gas is introduced into the inflation expansion component 31, the expansion ring 313 expands and expands, so that the top plate 314 moves upward, thereby pushing the extension rod 26 upward. Therefore, it is possible to achieve the effect of moving the movable lifting ring 22 upward and compressing the spring 25. When gas is no longer introduced, the spring 25 resets and extends, so that the movable lifting ring 22 moves downward and pushes the positioning ball 24 to move toward the axial direction of the positioning column 23, so that a part of the positioning ball 24 is embedded in the slot 51 of the rivet 5, thereby completing the fixation of the rivet 5, and the rivet 5 is a component fixed on the bottom surface of the workpiece fixture for connecting with the chuck body 2.

[0040] Specifically, by Figure 3 It can be seen that a through hole 13 connecting the chuck mounting groove 11 and the telescopic control groove 12 is opened inside the base 1 , and the extension rod 26 is slidably connected to the through hole 13 .

[0041] As can be seen from the above, by providing the through hole 13 , the top plate 314 can push the extension rod 26 when it moves upward.

[0042] Specifically, by Figure 3 It can be seen that a side surface of the ring 312 is provided with an air charging interface 315 communicating with the interior thereof, and the air charging interface 315 and the connecting hose 42 are detachably mounted.

[0043] As can be seen from the above, by providing the inflation interface 315 , it is convenient to replace and disassemble the inflation expansion component 31 .

[0044] Specifically, by Figure 3 It can be seen that the top plate 314 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the telescopic control groove 12 .

[0045] As can be seen from the above, since the top plate 314 slides with the inner wall of the telescopic control slot 12 , the top plate 314 is not prone to deflection.

[0046] Embodiment 2:

[0047] refer to Figure 3 As shown, a stopper 27 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the upper fixing plate 21 , and a plug hole 28 penetrating the upper fixing plate 21 and the stopper 27 is formed thereon, and the rivet 5 penetrates the plug hole 28 and extends to the inside of the chuck mounting groove 11 .

[0048] Specifically, by Figure 3 It can be seen that an embedding groove 29 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the positioning column 23, and slope surfaces are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the upper surface.

[0049] Specifically, by Figure 3 It can be seen that a groove 210 is formed on the upper surface of the movable lifting ring 22 , and the lower end of the spring 25 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the groove 210 .

[0050] As can be seen from the above, by fixing the stop block 27 on the lower surface of the upper fixed plate 21 and providing a sloped surface on the top of the positioning column 23, it is possible to limit the positioning ball 24. By providing an embedding groove 29 for inserting the end of the rivet 5 at the lower part of the slot 51, and by providing a groove 210, excessive compression of the spring 25 can be avoided.

[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
