AI Technical Summary
When the existing chuck clamps the workpiece, the ratio of cylinder stroke to roller stroke is 1:1, which requires a longer cylinder and a larger chuck outer diameter, increasing the chuck's rotational inertia and affecting cutting efficiency.
By employing a gear and rack 'speed doubling mechanism', the stroke ratio between the cylinder piston rod and the roller is 1:2, achieving a double stroke effect. The double stroke clamping of the roller is achieved through gear and rack meshing, reducing the cylinder length requirement and keeping the chuck outer diameter unchanged.
It achieves a wider range of workpiece clamping, reduces the chuck's rotational inertia, maintains the chuck's rotational speed, and improves cutting efficiency.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0034] Example: Reference Figures 1-12 A double-stroke driven chuck is shown, including a chuck body 1, a large plate 2 on the chuck body 1, a panel 5 on the front side of the large plate 2, four cylinders 4 fixedly mounted on the large plate 2, a lower rack 7 and two guide rails 6 fixedly mounted on the upper part of the cylinder 4, the two guide rails 6 are arranged in parallel, and the lower rack 7 is located between the two guide rails 6. A sliding seat 8 is placed on the upper part of the cylinder 4, an upper rack 10 and two sliders 9 are fixedly mounted on the lower part of the sliding seat 8, the upper rack 10 is located between the two sliders 9, and the sliding seat 8 is slidably mounted on the two guide rails 6 through the two sliders 9. A push seat 11 is fixedly mounted on the piston rod of the cylinder 4, and a gear 12 is rotatably mounted on the push seat 11. The lower rack 7 and the upper rack 10 are located on both sides of the gear 12, and both the lower rack 7 and the upper rack 10 mesh with the gear 12.
[0035] Four clamping holes 13 in long strip structure are formed on the panel 5, and four clamping grooves 14 are fixedly installed on the panel 5, the lower part of the clamping groove 14 is provided with a sliding hole 15 corresponding to the clamping hole 13, the clamping sliding block 16 is slidingly installed in the clamping groove 14, the upper part of the clamping sliding block 16 is fixedly installed with a roller frame 17, the roller frame 17 is installed with a roller 18, which is used to clamp the workpiece, the air cylinder 4 is a double cylinder, which can improve the clamping force of the roller 18 and can more smoothly push the roller 18, the clamping column 19 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the sliding seat 8, and the clamping column 19 passes through the clamping hole 13 and the sliding hole 15 in sequence and is fixedly connected with the clamping sliding block 16;
[0036] When the piston rod of the air cylinder 4 extends, the piston rod drives the push seat 11, the push seat 11 drives the gear 12 to move along the lower rack 7 to the center direction of the chuck, the gear 12 moves at the same time, driving the upper rack 10 to move in the same direction, the upper rack 10 drives the sliding seat 8, the clamping column 19, the clamping sliding block 16 and the roller frame 17 to move at the same time, clamping the workpiece;
[0037] According to the principle of gear and rack "speed mechanism", the stroke ratio of the piston rod of the air cylinder 4 and the upper rack 10 is 1:2, that is, the stroke of the piston rod of the air cylinder 4 is 10cm, and the stroke of the upper rack 10 is 20cm, the piston rod of the air cylinder 4 only needs a stroke of 10cm, that is, the stroke of the roller frame 17 and the roller 18 is 20cm, so as to realize the effect of double stroke, which can clamp a larger range of workpieces, and does not need a longer air cylinder 4, and the outer diameter of the chuck does not need to be larger, so as not to increase the moment of inertia of the chuck, and not to affect the rotating speed of the chuck;
[0038] In order to make the four roller frames 17 move synchronously when clamping the workpiece, realize the centering effect, the rear side of the panel 5 is sequentially provided with an inner side centering disc 20 and an outer side centering disc 21, two center symmetric arc centering holes 22 are formed on the inner side centering disc 20 and the outer side centering disc 21, and four arc guide holes 23 are formed on the inner side centering disc 20 and the outer side centering disc 21, four guide columns 3 are fixedly installed between the large disc 2 and the panel 5, the four guide columns 3 correspond to the four guide holes 23 respectively, and the guide columns 3 pass through the guide holes 23 on the inner side centering disc 20 and the outer side centering disc 21 respectively, when the outer side centering disc 21 and the inner side centering disc 20 rotate, the four guide columns 3 can play a guiding role, so that the two centering discs rotate along the circumferential direction;
[0039] The upper and lower clamping columns 19 pass through two pairs of centering holes 22 on the outer centering disc 21, and under the action of the centering holes 22, the upper and lower clamping columns 19 can be synchronized and centered when moving, so that the upper and lower roller frames 17 can also realize the effect of synchronously and centrally clamping the workpiece when moving. The left and right clamping columns 19 pass through two pairs of centering holes 22 on the inner centering disc 20, and under the action of the centering holes 22, the left and right clamping columns 19 can be synchronized and centered when moving, so that the left and right roller frames 17 can also realize the effect of synchronously and centrally clamping the workpiece when moving.
[0040] The roller frame 17 is provided with an auxiliary wheel seat 24, the auxiliary wheel seat 24 is provided with an auxiliary wheel frame 25, the auxiliary wheel frame 25 extends to the front of the chuck body 1, and the auxiliary wheel frame 25 is provided with an auxiliary wheel 26. When the four roller frames 17 move, the corresponding auxiliary wheel frame 25 and the auxiliary wheel 26 can be driven to move synchronously;
[0041] The circumferential surfaces of the upper and lower auxiliary wheels 26 are located on the same plane as the circumferential surfaces of the upper and lower rollers 18, and the circumferential surfaces of the left and right auxiliary wheels 26 are located on the same plane as the circumferential surfaces of the left and right rollers 18. Therefore, when the four rollers 18 clamp the workpiece, the four corresponding auxiliary wheels 26 can be driven to clamp the workpiece synchronously;
[0042] Since the auxiliary wheel frame 25 extends to the front of the chuck body 1, the clamping position of the four auxiliary wheels 26 on the workpiece has a certain distance from the clamping position of the four rollers 18 on the workpiece, which is equivalent to clamping the workpiece from two endpoints. Since the workpiece is long, clamping only by the roller 18 is prone to deviation, therefore, by increasing the clamping of the auxiliary wheel 26, the angular deviation of the workpiece during clamping can be reduced, and the machining precision can be improved;
[0043] The auxiliary wheel seat 24 is provided with an elongated mounting hole for fixedly mounting the auxiliary wheel frame 25 on the roller frame 17. Because there is often an error in processing the auxiliary wheel seat 24 and the auxiliary wheel frame 25, if the mounting hole is circular, the position of the auxiliary wheel 26 cannot be adjusted. Because the auxiliary wheel 26 moves synchronously with the roller 18, the circumferential surface of the auxiliary wheel 26 needs to be located on the same plane as the circumferential surface of the corresponding roller 18 to achieve the clamping effect on the workpiece. If the mounting hole is a circular hole, once there is an error in the processing of the auxiliary wheel seat 24 and the auxiliary wheel frame 25, the auxiliary wheel 26 cannot clamp the workpiece, and cannot avoid the angular deviation of the workpiece. Therefore, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the auxiliary wheel 26 during installation, the mounting hole is designed as an elongated shape.
[0044] The outer side of the auxiliary wheel seat 24 is provided with an adjusting seat 27 which is fixedly installed on the roller frame 17, the adjusting seat 27 is provided with an adjusting hole, a bolt is installed in the adjusting hole, and the bolt can contact the auxiliary wheel seat 24. When the auxiliary wheel seat 24 is installed or used for a certain period of time, if the circumferential surface of the auxiliary wheel 26 cannot be in the same plane as the circumferential surface of the roller 18, the bolt can push against the auxiliary wheel seat 24 to adjust the position of the auxiliary wheel seat 24, so that the circumferential surface of the auxiliary wheel 26 and the circumferential surface of the roller 18 are in the same plane, and the workpiece can be clamped;
[0045] The left and right roller frames 17 are each provided with two single-acting cylinders 28, the piston rods of the two single-acting cylinders 28 on the same side are fixedly installed with clamping plates 29, the single-acting cylinder 28 has only one air inlet, and the piston rod is retracted in the absence of air. When air enters, the piston rod extends outward. Unlike ordinary cylinders which need to be provided with two air paths, the single-acting cylinder 28 only needs to be provided with one air path, that is, the clamping of the workpiece can be achieved, so that the complexity of the chuck air path is reduced, and the structure is simplified.
[0046] The clamping plate 29 is used for clamping the tail of the workpiece, the inner side wall of the clamping plate 29 is provided with a texture for increasing friction, so that the workpiece can be provided with better clamping force. When the chuck is in a non-working state, the distance between the clamping plate 29 and the center of the chuck is greater than the distance between the roller 18 and the center of the chuck. Therefore, when the clamping plate 29 does not need to clamp the workpiece, the workpiece can be clamped only by the roller 18, and the clamping plate 29 will not contact the workpiece and will not affect the movement of the workpiece along the roller 18. When the tail of the workpiece needs to be processed, the single-acting cylinder 28 drives the clamping plate 29 to clamp the workpiece. At this time, the laser head will move to the rear of the front chuck for processing, and the rear chuck has been reset and cannot clamp the workpiece. Through the action of the clamping plate 29, the horizontal movement of the front chuck when rotating while clamping the workpiece can be avoided, the processing precision is improved, and the waste of the tail is reduced. Moreover, the clamping plate 29 is located in the front part of the front chuck and will not affect the processing of the rear laser head.
[0047] The left and right roller frames 17 are each fixedly installed with two bearings 30, the bearings 30 are movably installed with guide rods 31, and the two guide rods 31 are fixedly installed on the clamping plates 29 on the same side. When the two single-acting cylinders 28 drive the clamping plates 29, the two guide rods 31 can play a guiding and synchronizing role, so that the two single-acting cylinders 28 can drive the clamping plates 29 in a parallel direction, thereby achieving better synchronous clamping effect on the workpiece.
[0048] The upper part of the pushing seat 11 is provided with a rack groove 32 matched with the upper rack 10, which is used to provide a moving space for the upper rack 10. The pushing seat 11 is provided with a rack hole 33 matched with the lower rack 7, which is used to provide a moving space for the lower rack 7.
[0049] The outer side between the large disc 2 and the panel 5 is provided with a dust cover 34 for avoiding the influence of the debris generated in the machining process on the chuck device, and the inner side between the large disc 2 and the panel 5 is provided with a dust cylinder 35 for avoiding the influence of the debris generated in the machining process on the chuck device.
[0050] The working principle of the present application is as follows:
[0051] By means of the principle of the gear and rack "speed multiplier mechanism", the stroke ratio of the piston rod of the air cylinder 4 to the roller 18 is 1:2, so as to realize the effect of double stroke. The design makes the clamping range of the chuck on the workpiece larger, and the air cylinder 4 does not need to be installed on the chuck, and the outer diameter of the chuck does not need to be increased, so that the rotational inertia of the chuck will not be increased, and the rotational speed of the chuck will not be affected when the stroke of the clamped workpiece is increased.
[0052] The following purposes are achieved: the rotational inertia of the chuck is minimized, and the speed multiplier mechanism is used to drive the roller 18 to move the full stroke with a smaller stroke of the air cylinder 4.
[0053] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
