Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of turning fixtures, in particular to a sealing ring turning fixture. Background Art

[0002] In turning, there have always been various problems in the traditional processing of thin-walled annular parts. When the traditional three-jaw clamp is clamped on thin-walled annular parts, there is often a problem that the parts are deformed due to excessive clamping force. Therefore, the fixture design should not only clamp and fix the processed parts, but also ensure the positioning accuracy and processing efficiency of the processed parts. However, the traditional fixture can no longer meet the processing requirements of thin-walled annular parts.

[0003] At present, domestic metal sealing ring turning processing mostly uses special fixtures, most of which are small-stroke fixtures. They adopt a hollow structure, the axis slit ensures the fixture stroke, and the wedge block is squeezed to clamp or open the fixture. Since the fixture stroke depends on the size of the gap of the axis slit, and in order to ensure reliable clamping, the slit distance is limited, the fixture stroke is too small. Each size requires a separate fixture, and the corresponding fixture needs to be replaced when processing parts of different sizes, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, the same fixture cannot be used for the inner and outer rings, which is costly. Therefore, how to develop a sealing ring turning fixture has become an urgent problem to be solved by technicians in this field. Summary of the invention

The flexible auxiliary claw is hinged on the edge of the positioning claw body through an auxiliary claw fixing seat and an auxiliary claw fixing shaft; the auxiliary claw fixing shaft is provided with a torsion spring that cooperates with the flexible auxiliary claw and the positioning claw body.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the connecting rod is hingedly matched with the claw base through a rotating shaft seat and a rotating shaft bolt; the other end of the connecting rod is hingedly matched with the top end of the pull rod through a rotating shaft seat and a rotating shaft bolt.

[0009] Furthermore, the other end of the pull rod is connected to the telescopic rotation mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the single-head flange is fixedly arranged on the cylinder telescopic rod by means of a first flange fixing screw.

[0012] Furthermore, the single-head flange and the U-shaped plate are connected by a first flange fixing bolt, a second flange fixing bolt and a third flange fixing bolt.

An ultrasonic sensor 2020 is arranged at one end of the claw base close to the pull rod 201. Specifically, the ultrasonic sensor 2020 is arranged at the head of the third claw base 2019 to measure the position of the flexible positioning claw 1.

[0034] The chuck base 2021 is arranged on the head of the lathe spindle. The flexible positioning claw 1 includes a flexible auxiliary claw, a positioning claw body 1027 and a torsion spring. The flexible auxiliary claw is hingedly arranged on the edge of the positioning claw body 1027 through an auxiliary claw fixing seat and an auxiliary claw fixing shaft; a torsion spring cooperating with the flexible auxiliary claw and the positioning claw body 1027 is arranged on the auxiliary claw fixing shaft. The flexible auxiliary claw is arranged on both sides of the positioning claw body 1027 through the auxiliary claw fixing shaft and the auxiliary claw fixing seat. The torsion spring passes through the auxiliary claw fixing shaft to keep the flexible auxiliary claw in an eight-shaped shape and provide clamping force when clamping.

[0035] One end of the connecting rod is hingedly matched with the claw base through a rotating shaft seat and a rotating shaft bolt; the other end of the connecting rod is hingedly matched with the top end of the pull rod 201 through a rotating shaft seat and a rotating shaft bolt.

[0039] When the rod 201 rotates during part processing, the circumferential stillness of the cylinder telescopic rod 301 will not affect the rotation of the rod 201, that is, will not affect the processing of the part, because the double-headed flange 309 on the rod 201 is provided with a first thrust bearing 308 and a second thrust bearing 3010. When the part is clamped, the cylinder telescopic rod 301 can transmit axial force to the rod 201 through the single-headed flange 303 and the U-shaped plate 307 to complete the clamping.

The second flexible auxiliary claw 1013 cooperates with the positioning claw body 1027 through the second torsion spring 1014.

[0044] The third flexible auxiliary claw 1019 is rotatably arranged on the third auxiliary claw fixing seat 1015 of the positioning claw body 1027 through the third auxiliary claw threaded fixing shaft 1018, and the third auxiliary claw fixing seat 1015 is fixed to the positioning claw body 1027 through the fifth auxiliary claw fixing screw 1016 and the sixth auxiliary claw fixing screw 1017. The third flexible auxiliary claw 1019 cooperates with the positioning claw body 1027 through the third torsion spring 1020.

The fourth flexible auxiliary claw 1025 cooperates with the positioning claw body 1027 through the fourth torsion spring 1026.

[0046] There are three flexible positioning claws 1, which are respectively connected to the first claw base 207, the second claw base 2013 and the third claw base 2019 through the first flexible claw fixing screw 101 and the second flexible claw fixing screw 102.

[0047] One end of the first connecting rod 204 is hingedly engaged with the first rotating shaft seat 203 on the pull rod 201 through the first rotating shaft bolt 202 , and the other end of the first connecting rod 204 is hingedly engaged with the second rotating shaft seat 206 on the first claw base 207 through the second rotating shaft bolt 205 .

[0050] Taking the processing of the inner ring of a metal sealing ring as an example, the specific operation steps of this device are as follows:

[0051] The first step is to connect the device to an external power source, an external controller, and reset the device to prepare for startup;

[0052] The second step is to input the dimensions of the part to be clamped into the external controller and press the start button;

[0053] The third step is to wait for the controller to issue a pre-clamping instruction. After the controller issues a pre-clamping instruction, the cylinder contracts and drives the cylinder telescopic rod 301 to pull the double-headed flange 309 through the single-headed flange 303 and the U-shaped disk 307, and the double-headed flange 309 pulls the pull rod 201 to move. The pull rod 201 moves axially and drives the first connecting rod 204, the second connecting rod 2010 and the third connecting rod 2016 to move, so that the first connecting rod 204, the second connecting rod 2010 and the third connecting rod 2016 pull the bottom of the first clamping claw. The seat 207, the second claw base 2013 and the third claw base 2019 move, so that the first claw base 207, the second claw base 2013 and the third claw base 2019 drive the three flexible positioning claws 1 to start moving simultaneously, and the ultrasonic sensor 2020 detects the moving distance of the flexible positioning claw 1. When the flexible positioning claw 1 moves to the pre-clamping position, the cylinder stops contracting, and the cylinder telescopic rod 301 stops the three flexible positioning claws 1 from moving, waiting for the parts to be placed in place;

[0054] The fourth step, after the parts are placed in place, the cylinder contracts again, the cylinder telescopic rod 301 pulls the double-headed flange 309 through the single-headed flange 303 and the U-shaped plate 307, the double-headed flange 309 pulls the pull rod 201 to move, the pull rod 201 moves axially to drive the first connecting rod 204, the second connecting rod 2010 and the third connecting rod 2016 to move, so that the first connecting rod 204, the second connecting rod 2010 and the third connecting rod 2016 pull the first claw base 207, the second claw base 2013 and the third claw base 2019 to move, so that the first claw base 207, the second claw base 2013 and the third claw base 2019 drive the three flexible positioning claws 1 to start moving simultaneously until the parts are completely clamped, the cylinder stops telescoping, and the cylinder telescopic rod 301 stops the three flexible positioning claws 1 from moving, waiting for the processing to be completed;

[0055] Step 5. After the parts are processed, press the end button, the cylinder extends, the cylinder telescopic rod 301 pushes the double-headed flange 309 through the single-headed flange 303 and the U-shaped plate 307, and the double-headed flange 309 pushes the pull rod 201 to move. The pull rod 201 moves axially to drive the first connecting rod 204, the second connecting rod 2010 and the third connecting rod 2016 to move, so that the first connecting rod 204, the second connecting rod 2010 and the third connecting rod 2016 push the first claw base 207, the second claw base 2013 and the third claw base 2019 to move, so that the first claw base 207, the second claw base 2013 and the third claw base 2019 drive the three flexible positioning claws 1 to start moving at the same time, and the ultrasonic sensor 220 detects the distance moved by the flexible positioning claw 1. When the flexible positioning claw 1 moves to the pre-clamping position, the cylinder stops contracting, and the cylinder telescopic rod 301 stops the three flexible positioning claws 1 from moving, waiting for the next part to be placed in place;

[0056] Step 6. After the next part is placed in place, repeat steps 4 to 5 until all parts are processed.

[0057] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
