[0002] In the field of modern mechanical manufacturing, CNC machine tools are one of the core equipment for processing shaft workpieces. In order to achieve stable clamping and precise processing of shaft workpieces of different specifications, position calibration is generally performed with the help of limit scale plates. The limit scale plates are adjusted according to the target processing position to ensure that the area to be processed is completely exposed outside the clamping jaws to meet subsequent processing requirements.

[0003] In the actual production process, each loading requires manual positioning through multiple limit plates. This repetitive action increases the workload of the staff. For thicker and larger shaft workpieces, due to their weight and volume, they will face great inconvenience in the lifting and adjustment process. The staff must carefully observe and repeatedly adjust the position of the limit plate to ensure that the processing area of ​​the workpiece is accurately outside the clamping jaws, which further increases the difficulty of clamping. Moreover, adjusting the position of the limit plate is a relatively delicate operation that requires concentration, which makes the staff easily tired and significantly reduces work efficiency.

The top of the sliding frame 84 is rotatably connected to three supporting rollers 86 at even intervals. The supporting rollers 86 are a structure that is thick at both ends and thin in the middle. When the workpiece is placed on the supporting rollers 86, the workpiece will be located in the middle position of the supporting rollers 86 to prevent the workpiece from moving at will. The lower left part of the sliding frame 84 is connected to the contact block 87 by bolts. The three clamping jaws of the three-jaw automatic chuck 2 are each connected to a push block 871 on the side away from each other.

The front side of the spur rack 810 is connected to the baffle 813, and the bottom of the baffle 813 is in contact with the top of the rotating plate 812.

[0034] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 The pushing mechanism includes a contact plate 91, a connecting shaft 92, a torsion spring 93, a push plate 94 and a rotating block 95. The contact plate 91 is connected to the rear side of the CNC machine tool body 1 by bolts. The right side of the baffle 813 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 92. A torsion spring 93 is sleeved on the lower part of the connecting shaft 92. The two ends of the torsion spring 93 are respectively connected to the baffle 813 and the connecting shaft 92. The upper part of the connecting shaft 92 is connected to the push plate 94. The left side of the rear side of the push plate 94 is connected to the rotating block 95. The left side of the rotating block 95 contacts the right side of the contact plate 91.

[0035] In the initial state, the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 89 is in an extended state, the spur rack 810 and the spur gear 88 are not engaged, the bottom of the baffle 813 is in contact with the top of the rotating plate 812, and the baffle 813 blocks the rotating plate 812, so that the rotating plate 812 and the rotating ring 811 cannot rotate, and the sliding frame 84 cannot rotate either;The staff rotates one of the push blocks 871 to the bottom of the contact block 87, and then controls the screw motor 5 to drive the movable plate 6 to move left and right, and the movable plate 6 drives the limit spline shaft 7 to move left and right, adjusts the limit distance of the limit spline shaft 7, and then places the workpiece on the support roller 86, and then controls the clamping jaws of the three-jaw automatic chuck 2 to close inward, and the push block 871 will push the contact block 87 to move upward, and the contact block 87 drives the sliding frame 84 to move upward, the spring 85 is stretched, and the sliding frame 84 drives the support roller 86 to move upward, and the support roller 86 drives the workpiece to move upward, and moves the workpiece to the center of the three-jaw automatic chuck 2 to ensure the accuracy of clamping. At this time, the workpiece is flush with the limit spline shaft 7, and then the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 89 is controlled to extend, driving the spur rack The cam 810 moves to the left, the spur rack 810 drives the baffle 813 to move to the left, the baffle 813 drives the push plate 94 and the rotating block 95 to move to the left, the left side of the rotating block 95 contacts the right side of the contact plate 91, and under the action of the contact plate 91, the rotating block 95 rotates, the rotating block 95 drives the push plate 94 and the connecting shaft 92 to rotate, the torsion spring 93 deforms, and the push plate 94 pushes the workpiece to the left, so that the workpiece contacts the right end of the limit spline shaft 7, and the limit spline shaft 7 limits the workpiece. At this time, the electric push rod 89 is turned off, and the jaws of the three-jaw automatic chuck 2 are continued to be controlled to close inward to clamp the workpiece, and the workpiece is automatically clamped and limited. There is no need to frequently adjust the position of the limit spline shaft 7, which can reduce the workload of the staff and improve work efficiency. When the workpiece is in the right position, the push plate 94 pushes the workpiece so that the workpiece and the right end of the limit spline shaft 7 are always in contact, avoiding the position of the workpiece from being offset and ensuring the accuracy of the workpiece position. After the three-jaw automatic chuck 2 clamps the workpiece, the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 89 is controlled to shorten, driving the spur rack 810, the baffle 813, the push plate 94 and the rotating block 95 to move to the right, and the rotating block 95 is out of contact with the contact plate 91. Under the action of the torsion spring 93, the push plate 94 rotates in the opposite direction to reset, and the push plate 94 is out of contact with the workpiece. Then the baffle 813 and the rotating plate 812 are out of contact. The baffle 813 no longer blocks the rotating plate 812, allowing the sliding frame 84 to rotate. Then the spur rack 810 will mesh with the spur gear 88 and drive the spur gear 88 to rotate. The spur gear 88 drives the rotating plate 812 to rotate. The rotating shaft 82 rotates, driving the slide 84 to rotate, moving the slide 84 away from the three-jaw automatic chuck 2 to prevent the slide 84 from interfering with the CNC machine tool body 1 in processing the workpiece. At this time, the contact block 87 disengages from the push block 871. Under the action of the spring 85, the slide 84 moves back to its original position. The spring 85 can pull the slide 84 to prevent the slide 84 from sliding off the rotating frame 83. The drive motor 3 is then started. The output shaft of the drive motor 3 drives the three-jaw automatic chuck 2 to rotate via the transmission gear. The three-jaw automatic chuck 2 drives the workpiece to rotate. Subsequently, the CNC machine tool body 1 processes the workpiece. The limit spline shaft 7 rotates along with the three-jaw automatic chuck 2 to prevent friction between the workpiece and the limit spline shaft 7.

[0036] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 , also includes a scale 101, a slider 102 and an indicator block 103. The scale 101 is connected to the left front side of the CNC machine tool body 1, the slider 102 is connected to the front side of the movable plate 6, the slider 102 slides through the front side of the CNC machine tool body 1, and the indicator block 103 is connected to the top front side of the slider 102, and the indicator block 103 points to the scale 101.

[0037] The control screw motor 5 drives the movable plate 6 and the limit spline shaft 7 to move left and right, and adjusts the limit distance of the limit spline shaft 7. The movable plate 6 can also drive the slider 102 and the indicator block 103 to move left and right. The indicator block 103 points to the scale 101. The moving distance of the movable plate 6 and the limit spline shaft 7 can be seen through the scale 101, so that the limit distance of the limit spline shaft 7 can be controlled more accurately.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 , also includes a limit plate 11, three limit plates 11 are connected to the outside of the limit spline shaft 7 at evenly spaced circumferences, and three accommodating grooves for accommodating the limit plates 11 are evenly spaced circumferentially on the right side of the three-jaw automatic chuck 2.
