[0012] In a second aspect, embodiments of the present invention also provide a clamping system comprising a plurality of clamps as described in any of the first aspects above.

[0013] In one embodiment, the clamping system further includes: A first rotating component and a second rotating component are respectively connected to opposite ends of the first support plate of the clamp, and the first rotating component and the second rotating component are used to control the rotation of the first support plate.

[0014] In one embodiment, the clamping system further includes: The second support plate has multiple clamps that are rotatably connected to it.

[0015] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a processing method applied to the fixture described in the first aspect above, the method comprising: The fixture fixes the part to be processed, which includes a first cylindrical member and a second cylindrical member.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a clamp provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the fixture includes: A first support plate 10 has a first groove 101 and at least one second groove 102 on its surface. The first groove 101 and the at least one second groove 102 are adjacent to each other, and the first groove 101 communicates with each of the at least one second groove 102. The at least one second groove 102 is used to place the part to be processed. A clamping assembly 20 is located within the first groove 101, and there is a gap between the clamping assembly 20 and the edge of the first groove 101. When the component to be processed is placed in at least one second groove 102, a first part of the component to be processed is located in the first groove 101, and the clamping assembly 20 abuts against the first part.

[0022] The aforementioned first support plate 10 is used to abut against the part to be processed. The first support plate 10 includes a first groove 101 and at least one second groove 102. The first groove 101 is used to place the clamping assembly 20, and the second groove 102 is used to place the part to be processed, thereby fixing the part to be processed within the second groove 102 using the clamping assembly 20. In some embodiments, the first support plate 10 can be a metal plate with a thickness greater than the depth of the first groove 101 and the second groove 102, to achieve physical support for the part to be processed via the first support plate 10.

[0023] Among them, part 40 to be processed is an irregularly shaped part, such as... Figure 4 The L-shaped structure shown includes a first columnar member 401 and a second columnar member 402. When fixing the part to be processed, the first columnar member 401 is placed in the second groove 102, and the second columnar member 402 abuts against the surface of the first support plate 10. The clamping assembly 20 fixes the first columnar member 401, thereby fixing the part to be processed.

[0024] Furthermore, the first groove 101 is adjacent to each of the second grooves 102, and the first groove 101 is connected to each of the second grooves 102, so that when the part to be processed is placed in the second groove 102, the first part of the part to be processed (the first columnar member 401) can protrude from the second groove 102 and be located in the first groove 101. In this way, the part to be processed can be fixed by the clamping assembly 20 in the first groove 101.

[0025] Specifically, there is a gap between the clamping assembly 20 and the edge of the first groove 101. When the part to be processed is placed in the second groove 102, the first part of the part to be processed (the first cylindrical part 401) can protrude from the second groove 102 and be located in the gap between the clamping assembly 20 and the first groove 101. When it is necessary to fix the part to be processed by the clamping assembly 20, the clamping assembly 20 is controlled to move closer to the edge of the first groove 101 so that the clamping assembly 20 abuts against the first part, thereby fixing the part to be processed. After it is no longer necessary to fix it, the clamping assembly 20 is controlled to move away from the edge of the first groove 101 so that the clamping assembly 20 is separated from the first part, and the part to be processed is no longer fixed, so that the part can be processed in other ways.

[0026] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 20 may be a telescopic assembly controlled by a motor. When it is necessary to fix the part to be processed, the telescopic assembly is extended by the motor, so that the clamping assembly 20 abuts against the first part of the part to be processed; when it is not necessary to fix the part to be processed, the telescopic assembly is retracted by the motor, so that the clamping assembly 20 separates from the first part of the part to be processed.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, the fixture includes: a first support plate 10, the surface of which is provided with a first groove 101 and at least one second groove 102, the first groove 101 and the at least one second groove 102 being adjacent to each other, and the first groove 101 communicating with each of the at least one second groove 102, the at least one second groove 102 being used to place a part to be processed; and a clamping assembly 20, the clamping assembly 20 being located within the first groove 101, the clamping assembly 20 having a gap with the edge of the first groove 101; wherein, when the part to be processed is placed within the at least one second groove 102, a first portion of the part to be processed is located within the first groove 101, and the clamping assembly 20 abuts against the first portion. In this way, the part to be processed is placed through at least one second groove 102, and the first part is abutted by the clamping component 20 of the first groove 101 to fix the part to be processed. This allows the fixture to fix the part to be processed with an irregular structure, and then the surface of the fixed part to be processed can be processed. Moreover, the surface of the part to be processed will not be interfered with by the fixture when processing, so that the fixed position no longer needs to be frequently adjusted, thereby effectively improving the processing efficiency.

[0028] In one embodiment, the at least one second groove 102 is circular, and the side of the at least one second groove 102 away from the first groove 101 is provided with a plane, the length of which is adapted to the length of the area where the at least one second groove 102 communicates with the first groove 101.

[0029] It should be noted that, since the parts to be processed need to be placed in the second groove 102, in order to fix parts with different irregular structures, the second groove 102 is made circular in this embodiment of the invention, so that parts with different irregular structures can be placed or partially placed in the second groove 102, so that the parts to be processed can be fixed by the clamping component 20 in the first groove 101.

[0030] For example, if the part to be processed is a T-shaped structure, one end of the T-shaped structure of the part to be processed can be placed in the second groove 102, so that one end of the T-shaped structure can be fixed by the clamping assembly 20, thereby fixing the T-shaped part to be processed.

[0031] Furthermore, a flat surface is provided on the side of the second groove 102 away from the first groove 101. This flat surface restricts the position of the part to be processed, so that after the part to be processed is placed in the second groove 102, the first part of the part to be processed can be located in the first groove 101, thereby the part to be processed can be fixed by the clamping assembly 20.

[0032] Specifically, after the part to be processed is placed in the second groove 102, one side of the part to be processed abuts against the plane, and the side of the part to be processed away from the plane (i.e. the first part) is located in the first groove 101, so that the clamping assembly 20 can abut against the part to be processed to fix the part to be processed.

[0033] In one embodiment, the at least one second groove 102 is two second grooves 102, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the clamping assembly 20.

[0034] It should be noted that the number of second grooves 102 can be configured according to requirements. Each second groove 102 can hold one part to be processed, allowing the fixture to fix one or more parts to be processed. The more second grooves 102 there are, the more parts to be processed can be fixed by the fixture at the same time, thereby enabling the simultaneous (or sequential) processing of multiple parts to be processed and improving processing efficiency.

[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, at least one second groove 102 is two second grooves 102, and the two second grooves 102 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the clamping assembly 20, so that the distance between the two second grooves 102 can be kept as far as possible. When both second grooves 102 fix the parts to be processed, the processing of the two fixed parts to be processed can be carried out without interference, which effectively improves the processing efficiency.

[0036] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 20 includes: Rotating component 201, wherein the rotating component 201 is hexagonal; A controller is connected to the rotating component 201 and is used to control the rotating component 201 to rotate. At least one moving member 202, each of the at least one moving member 202 abutting against at least one side of the rotating member 201, the number of the at least one moving member 202 matching the number of the at least one second groove 102, the at least one moving member 202 moving in a direction toward or away from the at least one second groove 102.

[0037] The aforementioned rotating member 201 is hexagonal, and each of the at least one moving member 202 abuts against at least one side of the rotating member 201, such that when the rotating member 201 rotates, each moving member 202 can move closer to or away from the rotating member 201, thereby allowing the moving member 202 to abut against or separate from the first part of the part to be processed, so as to achieve the fixation of the part to be processed.

[0038] Specifically, each moving part 202 has at least one edge for abutting against at least one rotating edge. When at least one edge of the moving part 202 is fully engaged with at least one rotating edge, the distance between the moving part 202 and the rotating part 201 is the closest, and the distance between the moving part 202 and the edge of the first groove 101 is the farthest, meaning that the moving part 202 does not abut against the first part of the component to be processed. When the rotating part 201 rotates, the endpoint between the two edges of the rotating part 201 abuts against at least one edge of the moving part 202. At this time, the moving part 202 moves away from the rotating part 201 and approaches the edge of the first groove 101 until the moving part 202 abuts against the first part of the component to be processed, thereby fixing the component to be processed.

[0039] The number of at least one moving part 202 matches the number of at least one second groove 102, and one moving part 202 is used to fix the part to be processed in one second groove 102.

[0040] The controller is used to control the rotation of the rotating part 201. By controlling the rotation of the rotating part 201, the moving part 202 is moved, so that the moving part 202 abuts or separates from the first part of the part to be processed, thereby fixing the part to be processed.

[0041] The controller can be located on the side of the first support plate 10 away from the first groove 101. The first support plate 10 has a through hole, and the controller passes through the through hole to connect with the rotating part 201 in the first groove 101, so that the rotation of the rotating part 201 can be controlled by the controller.

[0042] In some embodiments, the controller may be a rotary motor, the rotating shaft of which is connected to the rotating component 201, so as to control the rotation of the rotating component 201 by means of the rotary motor.

[0043] In one embodiment, the at least one second groove 102 is two second grooves 102, the at least one moving member 202 is two moving members 202, the two moving members 202 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the rotating member 201, and the two moving members 202 are connected by an elastic member 30.

[0044] It should be noted that the number of at least one moving part 202 matches the number of at least one second groove 102. As mentioned above, the number of second grooves 102 can be two, so the number of at least one moving part 202 is also two moving parts 202. The two moving parts 202 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the rotating part 201, so that the two moving parts 202 correspond to the two second grooves 102 respectively, and the parts to be processed placed in the second grooves 102 can be fixed by the moving parts 202.

[0045] Furthermore, since the two moving parts 202 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the rotating part 201, the two moving parts 202 can be connected by the elastic part 30, so that the two moving parts 202 always remain in contact with the rotating part 201 under the action of the elastic part 30. Thus, the two moving parts 202 can move closer to or further away from the second groove 102 by rotating the rotating part 201.

[0046] In some embodiments, the elastic element 30 can be a rubber ring, and protrusions can be provided on the sides of the two moving parts 202. The rubber ring is used to cover the protrusions on the sides of the two moving parts 202, so that the two moving parts 202 can be elastically connected by the rubber ring.

[0047] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 20 includes: The movable component 203 is provided with at least one first inclined surface, and each of the at least one first inclined surface is provided with a protrusion, the direction of the protrusion being the same as the moving direction of the at least one first inclined surface; At least one fastener 204, the at least one fastener 204 corresponding one-to-one with the at least one first inclined surface, each of the at least one fastener 204 having a second inclined surface, the second inclined surface abutting against the at least one first inclined surface, the second inclined surface having a moving groove, the protrusion being located in the moving groove, the at least one fastener 204 moving in a direction close to or away from the at least one second groove 102.

[0048] The movement of the aforementioned movable member 203 can drive the movement of at least one first inclined surface. Each first inclined surface and the second inclined surface abut each other, so that when the movable member 203 moves, it drives the fixed member 204 to move through each first inclined surface and the second inclined surface.

[0049] The directions of the first and second inclined planes can be flexibly set, for example, as follows: Figures 5 to 7 As shown, when the movable member 203 is descending, the movable member 203 applies stress to the fixed member 204 through the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, so that the fixed member 204 approaches the second groove 102, thereby allowing the fixed member 204 to abut against the irregular part in the second groove 102.

[0050] Furthermore, the first and second inclined surfaces can only control the movement of the fixing member 204 along the direction close to the second groove 102. In order to enable the fixing member 204 to move away from the second groove 102, a protrusion is provided on the first inclined surface and a moving groove is provided on the second inclined surface. The protrusion is located in the moving groove, so that the fixing member 204 can be moved away from the second groove 102 through the protrusion and the moving groove.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figures 5 to 7As shown, when the movable member 203 is raised, the movable member 203 applies stress to the fixed member 204 through the protrusion and the moving groove, so that the fixed member 204 moves away from the second groove 102, thereby releasing the fixation of the irregular part in the second groove 102.

[0052] In some embodiments, the number of at least one fastener 204, at least one first inclined surface, and at least one second groove 102 are all matched.

[0053] Furthermore, the movement of the movable part 203 can be achieved by bolts, such as... Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the movable part 203 is connected to the first support plate 10 by bolts, and the up and down movement of the movable part 203 can be controlled by adjusting the position of the bolts.

[0054] In one embodiment, the surface of the first support plate 10 is provided with at least one third groove, the at least one third groove corresponding one-to-one with the at least one second groove 102, and the at least one second groove 102 communicating with the bottom of the at least one third groove.

[0055] It should be noted that when the part to be processed is placed in the second groove 102, since part of the part to be processed may not be in the second groove 102 (i.e. the second columnar part 402 mentioned above), after being fixed by the clamping assembly 20, the part to be processed may rotate and shift during processing, affecting the processing accuracy.

[0056] Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the surface of the first support plate 10 is provided with at least one third groove, and the at least one third groove corresponds one-to-one with at least one second groove 102. The at least one second groove 102 is connected to the bottom of the at least one third groove. In this way, when the part to be processed is placed in the second groove 102, the third groove can also limit the part to be processed at the same time, so that the part to be processed is limited in the rotation direction during processing, avoiding rotational offset during processing, so as to ensure the processing accuracy of the part to be processed.

[0057] Please see Figures 8 to 9 , Figures 8 to 9 This is a structural diagram of a clamping system provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the fixture includes multiple fixtures as described above. The fixture can achieve the effect described above, fixing the workpiece to be processed and ensuring that the workpiece is not interfered with when processing its surface, thus eliminating the need for frequent adjustments to the fixed position and effectively improving processing efficiency.

[0058] Since the clamping system includes multiple clamps, it can simultaneously fix multiple parts to be processed, thereby enabling the processing of multiple parts and further improving processing efficiency.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first support plates 10 of multiple clamps may be spliced ​​together to form a single support plate.

[0060] In other embodiments, the first support plate 10 of the plurality of clamps may also be fixed on a single support plate.

[0061] In one embodiment, the clamping system further includes: A first rotating component 51 and a second rotating component 52 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the first support plate 10 of the clamp, and the first rotating component 51 and the second rotating component 52 are used to control the rotation of the first support plate 10.

[0062] The first rotating member 51 and the second rotating member 52 are used to control the rotation of the first support plate 10, and the second groove 102 on the first support plate 10 holds the part to be processed. In this way, the rotation of the part to be processed is achieved by controlling the rotation of the first support plate 10, so as to process different positions on the surface of the part to be processed, thereby further improving the processing efficiency.

[0063] In one embodiment, the clamping system further includes: The second support plate 60 has multiple clamps that are rotatably connected to it.

[0064] It should be understood that multiple fixtures are rotatably connected to the second support plate 60, which allows for the control of the rotation of multiple fixtures during the processing, so as to facilitate the processing of irregular parts fixed by multiple fixtures.

[0065] In some implementations, such as Figures 10 to 11 As shown, a rotating rod may be provided at the bottom of the first support plate 10, and a control component may be provided on the second support plate 60. The rotating component is connected to the control component, and the rotation of multiple clamps can be controlled through the control component.

[0066] Please see Figure 12 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart of a processing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 12 As shown, the method includes: Step 1201: Fix the part to be processed based on the fixture. The part to be processed includes a first columnar member 401 and a second columnar member 402. One end of the first columnar member 401 is connected to one end of the second columnar member 402. The first columnar member 401 is located in the second groove 102 of the fixture. The first part of the first columnar member 401 is located in the first groove 101 of the fixture. The clamping assembly 20 of the fixture abuts against the first part of the first columnar member 401. The end of the second columnar member 402 near the first columnar member 401 abuts against the first support plate 10 of the fixture. Step 1202: Process the outer surface of the second cylindrical member 402 of the fixed component to be processed; Step 1203: Fix the outer surface of the processed second cylindrical part 402 and loosen the clamp from fixing the first cylindrical part 401; Step 1204: After fixing the outer surface of the processed second cylindrical member 402, process the first cylindrical member 401.

[0067] The aforementioned components to be processed include a first cylindrical component 401 and a second cylindrical component 402. By fixing the first part of the first cylindrical component 401 of the components to be processed with a fixture, the outer surface of the second cylindrical component 402 can be processed.

[0068] The L-shaped component obtained after the outer surface of the part to be processed is specifically as follows: Figures 13 to 18 As shown, since the second columnar component 402 is located on the outside during the processing, no interference will occur during processing, thereby effectively improving the processing efficiency.

[0069] In this embodiment, when machining the outer surface of the second cylindrical member 402 of the fixed component to be processed, the draft angle is 2° and the machining allowance is 0.5mm. The use of a 2° draft angle and a 0.5mm machining allowance in this embodiment facilitates rapid machining of the component to be processed.

[0070] Furthermore, after the outer surface of the processed second cylindrical member 402 is processed, the outer surface of the processed second cylindrical member 402 is fixed, and the clamp is released from the first cylindrical member 401. At this time, the first cylindrical member 401 is exposed, and the first cylindrical member 401 can be processed to realize the processing of the part to be processed.

[0071] In some implementations, it can be achieved through, for example Figures 19 to 20 The fixture shown clamps and fixes the second cylindrical member 402, and then processes the surface of the first cylindrical member 401. The processed part is as follows: Figure 21As shown, the green area on the surface of the first cylindrical member 401 is processed, for example, to create a threaded structure on the surface of the first cylindrical member 401.

[0072] Furthermore, after machining the surface of the first cylindrical member 401, it can be done by means of... Figures 22 to 23 The fixture shown clamps and fixes the surface of the first cylindrical member 401, and performs machining on the interior of the first cylindrical member 401. The machined part is as follows: Figure 24 As shown, the red area inside the first cylindrical part 401 is processed to complete the processing of the part to be processed.

[0073] In some embodiments, the side of the first cylindrical member 401 may be provided with at least one plane, which abuts against the plane of at least one groove, thereby limiting the first cylindrical member 401 through the plane and preventing the first cylindrical member 401 from rotating.

[0074] In some implementations, the axisymmetry line of the part to be processed can be set as the mold opening direction, so that the part to be processed is processed based on the mold opening direction during the processing.

[0075] By processing the parts to be processed using the method of the present invention, it is possible to reduce material costs, reduce equipment investment costs, and improve processing efficiency.

[0076] In this invention, the processing of an L-shaped component is used as an example to illustrate how the invention improves processing efficiency.

[0077] Specifically, such as Figure 2 or Figure 7 As shown, the first cylindrical member 402 of multiple L-shaped components is fixed by a fixture, allowing multiple L-shaped components to be processed simultaneously; the L-shaped components are processed with a draft angle of 2° and a processing allowance of 0.5mm, completing the processing of the surface of the second cylindrical member 402 of the L-shaped components; after the surface processing of the second cylindrical member 402 is completed, the process is performed as follows: Figures 19 to 20 The clamp secures the second cylindrical member 402 to such a position. Figure 21 The surface of the first columnar member 401 of the L-shaped component shown is machined; after the surface of the first columnar member 401 of the L-shaped component is machined, it is then processed as follows: Figures 22 to 23 The clamp fixes the first cylindrical member 401, thereby allowing it to be used as follows: Figure 24 The interior of the L-shaped component shown is machined.

[0078] Furthermore, the method of processing L-shaped components according to the present invention is compared with the method of processing L-shaped components according to the prior art in terms of cost and efficiency, so as to prove that the present invention can reduce costs while improving efficiency.

[0079] The material cost in the prior art (i.e., processing using cylindrical parts as raw materials) is: Φ32*30, 34.9 yuan / kg, material cost = (3.14 * 16 * 16 * 30 * 7.98 / 1000000) * 34.9 = 6.72 yuan / pcs; while the material cost of the present invention (i.e. processing using the structure of the first cylindrical part 401 and the second cylindrical part 402 as raw materials) is: (16514.6 * 7.98 / 1000000) * 34.9 = 4.6 yuan / pcs, the reduced material cost is 6.72 - 4.6 = 2.12 yuan / piece.

[0080] Furthermore, achieving a daily production of 5K using existing technology requires 81 pieces of equipment, with an investment cost of 55W * 81 = 4455W; the method of this invention achieves a daily production of 5K, requiring 27 + 32 = 59 pieces of equipment, with an investment cost of 17W * 27 + 45W * 32 = 1899W; the reduced equipment investment cost is 4455 - 1899 = 2556W.

[0081] Furthermore, the processing cycle of the existing technology is 21.5 min / pcs, while the processing cycle of the method of the present invention is 15.45 min / pcs, and the processing efficiency is improved to 21.5-14.45=7.05 min / pcs. Compared with the existing technology, the processing efficiency of the present invention is improved by about 28%.
