Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of machine tool fixtures and relates to a zero-point quick-change hydraulic base with a linear jacking function. Background Art

[0002] The function of the zero-point quick-change fixture is to achieve rapid positioning and clamping between the fixture and the machine tool, shortening the fixture replacement time. It is mainly used in flexible automated production lines, with convenient and fast production changes, and can be applied to the processing of different workpieces. Its quick replacement function and intelligent operation mode can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce labor intensity.

[0003] The zero-point quick-change unit mainly consists of two parts: the zero-point locator and the zero-point locating joint. The hydraulic zero-point locator used for the zero-point quick-change base is annular, and the zero-point locating joint used for the fixture base is cylindrical, called a pull nail. When the driving pressure is provided to the hydraulic zero-point locator, the zero-point locating joint can freely enter and exit the hydraulic zero-point locator. When the pressure is cut off, the hydraulic zero-point locator locks the zero-point locating joint and provides a certain clamping force. When in use, the hydraulic zero-point locator and the zero-point locating joint are respectively installed on the zero-point quick-change base and the fixture base. The zero-point quick-change base is fixed on the machine tool workbench. When processing workpieces or changing products, the zero-point quick-change base is provided with driving pressure, and the fixture with the zero-point locating joint is installed with the zero-point quick-change base. The fixture can be replaced or clamped within 1 minute, which greatly reduces the auxiliary time of mechanical processing and improves production efficiency.

[0004] However, the zero-point quick-change unit generally requires the fixture bottom plate to be parallel to the quick-change base so that the zero-point positioning joint and the hydraulic zero-point locator can cooperate smoothly. A slightly larger angle will easily damage the zero-point quick-change unit. Utility Model Content

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the zero-point quick-change hydraulic base with a linear jacking function described in the utility model includes a body 1, a hydraulic zero-point positioner 2, a sequence valve 3, a double-acting linear cylinder 4, a guide rod 5, a reversing valve 6 and a speed regulating valve 7.

[0036] The main body 1 is a rectangular thick plate structure with large-sized surfaces on the top and bottom surfaces. The four corners of the top surface of the main body 1 are respectively connected to a hydraulic zero point locator 2 by screws. At least three double-acting linear cylinders 4 are arranged near the middle area of ​​the top surface of the main body 1. The double-acting linear cylinders 4 are evenly arranged in a circle with the center of the circle being the center of the top surface of the main body 1, so that the center of gravity of the clamp will not be offset, reducing the probability of tilting. The hydraulic rod of the double-acting linear cylinder 4 is arranged vertically upward, and the extension and retraction direction of the hydraulic rod is perpendicular to the top surface of the main body 1.

[0037] Two guide rods 5 are vertically arranged on the top surface of the main body 1. The top of the guide rods 5 is higher than the top of the hydraulic zero point locator 2. The guide rods 5 are arranged at intervals and are close to one side of the main body 1. The positions and sizes of the two guide rods 5 correspond to the two positioning holes at the bottom of the clamp.

[0038] The hydraulic zero point positioner 2 includes a first cavity and a second cavity, the first cavity and the second cavity are separated by a piston, a spring is arranged in the first cavity, two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the piston and the end of the first cavity, the length of the spring is greater than the sum of the lengths of the first cavity and the second cavity, so that the spring is always in a compressed state, when the first cavity is compressed, the hydraulic zero point positioner 2 is in a relaxed state, the zero point positioning joint can freely enter and exit the hydraulic zero point positioner 2, and the fixture can be placed on the zero point quick change base, when the second cavity is compressed, the hydraulic zero point positioner 2 is in a locked state, and the zero point positioning joint on the fixture is pulled down and locked.

[0039] The double-acting linear cylinder 4 includes two chambers, namely the third chamber and the fourth chamber. The third chamber and the fourth chamber are separated by a piston. A hydraulic rod is arranged in the third chamber. One end of the hydraulic rod is connected to the piston, and the other end extends out of the top of the third chamber. When the third chamber is compressed, the hydraulic rod extends out of the double-acting linear cylinder 4 to lift the clamp. When the fourth chamber is compressed, the hydraulic rod retracts. A rubber pad is arranged on the top of the hydraulic rod.

[0040] The side of the body 1 is provided with a sequence valve 3 and a reversing valve 6 by screws. The reversing valve 6 adopts a two-position four-way reversing valve, including four ports, namely port A, port B, port P and port R. When the reversing valve 6 is in the 0 state, port P is connected with port B, and port A is connected with port R. When the reversing valve 6 is in the 1 state, port P is connected with port A, and port B is connected with port R.

[0041] An oil inlet P and an oil return port R are provided on the main body 1. The oil inlet is divided into two interconnected paths. The first path is connected to the second cavities of the four hydraulic zero point positioners 2, and the second path is connected to the oil inlet of the sequence valve 3. The oil outlet of the sequence valve 3 is connected to the P port of the reversing valve 6, and the R port of the reversing valve 6 is connected to the oil return port. The A port of the reversing valve 6 is connected to the fourth cavity of each double-acting linear cylinder 4, and the B port of the reversing valve 6 is connected to the third cavity of each double-acting linear cylinder 4.

[0042] The sequence valve 3 is used to make the start time of the double-acting linear cylinder 4 later than the end time of the hydraulic zero positioner 2 to avoid interference between the two actions and damage to components. The reversing valve 6 is connected to a manual reversing rod for manually switching the passage of the reversing valve 6.

[0043] Each double-acting linear cylinder 4 is connected to a speed regulating valve 7 , which is connected to port A of the reversing valve 6 . The speed regulating valve 7 is used to adjust the extension and retraction speed of the hydraulic rod of each double-acting linear cylinder 4 to be consistent.

[0044] When used for the first time, the extension and retraction speed of the hydraulic rod of each double-acting linear cylinder 4 is adjusted to be basically the same through the speed regulating valve 7.

[0045] When installing the fixture, adjust the reversing valve 6 to state 1, and introduce hydraulic oil into the oil inlet. Under pressure drive, the first chambers of the four hydraulic zero point positioners 2 are compressed, and the hydraulic zero point positioners 2 are relaxed. The hydraulic oil flows from the P port to the A port of the reversing valve 6 to the fourth chamber of the double-acting linear cylinder 4. The third chamber of the double-acting linear cylinder 4 is compressed, and the hydraulic rod extends out of the double-acting linear cylinder 4. Under the action of the sequence valve 3, the hydraulic rod of the double-acting linear cylinder 4 rises after a few seconds after the hydraulic zero point positioner 2 is relaxed, and the bottom of the fixture contacts the top of the hydraulic rod. The two guide rods 5 are inserted into the two positioning holes at the bottom of the fixture.

[0046] The reversing valve 6 switches to the 0 state, and the hydraulic oil flows from the P port to the B port of the reversing valve 6 to the third chamber of the double-acting linear cylinder 4. The fourth chamber of the double-acting linear cylinder 4 is compressed, and the hydraulic rod gradually retracts. The hydraulic rod lowers the clamp in the vertical direction, and the zero point positioning joint is inserted into the hydraulic zero point positioner 2.

[0047] After installation, cut off the oil inlet, the pistons in the four hydraulic zero point positioners 2 move downward under the action of the spring, the hydraulic oil in the second cavity is discharged from the oil inlet, the hydraulic zero point positioner 2 pulls down and locks the zero point positioning joint on the fixture, and starts the machine tool for cutting.

[0048] After the processing is completed, the reversing valve 6 is adjusted to state 1, and hydraulic oil is introduced into the oil inlet. Under the pressure drive, the first cavity of the four hydraulic zero point positioners 2 is compressed, and the hydraulic zero point positioner 2 is relaxed. The hydraulic oil flows from the P port to the A port of the reversing valve 6 to the fourth cavity of the double-acting linear cylinder 4. The third cavity of the double-acting linear cylinder 4 is compressed, and the hydraulic rod extends out of the double-acting linear cylinder 4. Under the action of the sequence valve 3, the hydraulic rod of the double-acting linear cylinder 4 rises after a delay of a few seconds after the hydraulic zero point positioner 2 is relaxed. The hydraulic rod lifts the fixture in the vertical direction, and the zero point positioning joint leaves the hydraulic zero point positioner 2. At this time, the fixture is taken out and a new fixture is put in for the next round of processing. This reciprocating change of production is carried out to achieve quick fixture change.

[0049] The zero-point quick-change hydraulic base of the present application uses only two external oil circuits and can be powered by a double-acting hydraulic station, thereby improving machining efficiency and product quality, and having a good guiding role for other similar working conditions.
