[0002] A flange refers to a circular component used in mechanical engineering to connect devices such as pipes, valves, and pumps. The flange is fixed to other components through bolts and is commonly used for pipe connection, sealing, and support. The design of the flange takes into account factors such as pressure and temperature, so they have different standards and materials to adapt to different working environments; the processing of the flange is complex and involves multiple processes. During the later finishing process, machine tools are required for operations such as drilling and milling the surface. In each processing link, it is necessary to center and clamp the flange. The existing centering fixtures are not convenient to use, difficult to disassemble and assemble, and have a single function; based on this, the present invention proposes a positioning fixture that can disassemble and assemble the flange conveniently, has rich functions, and ensures the accuracy of centering and clamping.

A sliding rod is arranged on the sleeve, and the sliding rod is slidably matched with the clamping sliding seat. A fixing hole is opened on the clamping sliding seat, and the fixing mechanism cooperates with the fixing hole for fixing. A first roller is also arranged on the sleeve.

[0009] Further, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing shaft telescopically arranged on the clamping sliding seat.

That is, in the case of surface defects such as pits and deformations, the telescopic displacement sensor outputs and feeds back the telescopic displacement signal of the contact rod to judge the surface defect condition of the clamping shaft.

A positioning shaft 17 is arranged on the positioning sliding seat 16 for positioning and mounting the workpiece.

[0026] The positioning base 1 is arrayed with slots, and a slot plate 22 is arranged in the slot positions. An adsorber 21 is arranged in the central area of the positioning base 1 for adsorbing and collecting waste chips in the slots. The clamping slider 27 on the positioning mechanism is slidably arranged on the slot plate 22. A fourth motor 23 is arranged at the bottom of the positioning base 1, and a fourth gear 24 is arranged on the output shaft of the fourth motor 23. Five lead screws 25 are rotationally arrayed at the bottom of the positioning base 1, and a fifth gear 26 is arranged at one end of each lead screw 25. The fifth gear 26 meshes with the fourth gear 24. The lead screw 25 and the clamping slider 27 on the positioning mechanism form a screw pair. The positioning mechanism includes a first spring 30 connected between the sleeve 29 and the clamping slider 27. A slide bar 32 is arranged on the sleeve 29, and the slide bar 32 is slidably matched with the clamping slider 27. A fixing hole is opened on the clamping slider 27, and the fixing mechanism is matched with the fixing hole for fixing. A first roller 31 is also arranged on the sleeve 29.

[0027] The fixing mechanism includes a fixing shaft 35 telescopically arranged on the clamping slider 27. A second roller 34 is arranged at one end of the fixing shaft 35, and a second spring 36 is connected between the fixing shaft 35 and the clamping slider 27.

The control mechanism includes a control gear ring 20 rotatably installed on the positioning base 1, and a third motor 18 arranged on the positioning base 1. A third gear 19 is arranged on the output shaft of the third motor 18, and the third gear 19 meshes with the control gear ring 20. A first contact part 2001 and a second contact part 2002 are arranged on the control gear ring 20. An inner arc surface and an outer arc surface are arranged on the second contact part 2002, and the inner arc surface and the outer arc surface are smoothly connected. An inclined arc surface is arranged on the first contact part 2001. The first roller 31 moves on the inclined arc surface to move the sleeve 29. The second roller 34 moves from the inner arc surface to the outer arc surface, and the fixing shaft 35 telescopically moves.

[0028] Operating principle: The workpiece is placed on the positioning shaft 17. By the operation of the second motor 13, the second turntable 14 rotates. Under the connection action of the first connecting rod 15, the positioning slider 16 moves, and the workpiece can be supported and positioned. The position of the machining part 6 can be controlled by the pre-processing electric cylinder 4, and the machining motor 5 drives the machining part 6 to work, and the outer side of the workpiece can be ground, that is, the uneven plane and impurities are removed, so as to ensure the accuracy of subsequent clamping and centering. Specifically, by the operation of the first motor 7, the turntable 9 rotates, and the workpiece can be driven to perform a circular motion.

[0029] Further, by operating the flipping motor 2, the flipping frame 3 flips, i.e., the workpiece flips towards the positioning seat 1 and is located above the positioning seat 1. The movement of the workpiece is controlled by the connecting plate 11, i.e., the workpiece is located inside each positioning mechanism. By operating the fourth motor 23, the fourth gear disk 24 rotates, and then the fifth lead screw 25 rotates, causing each clamping slider 27 to move radially. The lower end surface of the workpiece is supported by the sleeve 29, and the circumferential surface of the workpiece is positioned by the clamping shaft 28. When machining the workpiece, if the waste chips fall on the positioning seat 1 and in the area where the trough plate 22 is located, they can be adsorbed and collected by the adsorber 21.

[0030] During disassembly and assembly, the flipping frame 3 flips to transfer the workpiece from the positioning seat 1. To ensure the accuracy of centering and clamping, the surface of the clamping shaft 28 can be periodically inspected. That is, the clamping shaft 28 is in contact with the circumferential area of the workpiece. Surface defects on the clamping shaft 28 will affect the clamping centering effect. Specifically, by operating the third motor 18, the gear ring 20 is controlled to rotate. The flipping frame 3 first passes through the inner arc surface on the second contact part 2002. When the second roller 34 moves from the inner arc surface to the outer arc surface, the fixed shaft 35 moves telescopically, i.e., the fixed shaft 35 separates from the fixing hole on the slide rod 32, releasing the fixation of the sleeve 29. Then the first roller 31 moves on the inclined arc surface to move the sleeve 29. The contact rod 33 contacts the circumferential area of the clamping shaft 28 for clamping, and the contact rod 33 moves telescopically along with the circumferential surface of the clamping shaft 28. That is, when surface defects such as pits and deformations occur, the telescopic displacement sensor outputs and feeds back the telescopic displacement signal of the contact rod 33 to judge the surface defect condition of the clamping shaft 28.

[0031] The present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various changes starting from the above concepts without creative labor, and all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
