[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, some embodiments of the present application provide a floating clamping device for auxiliary clamping of the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1, including at least two hydraulic pumps 2 and a clamping jaw 3 installed on the driving end 21 of each hydraulic pump 2. Among them, at least two hydraulic pumps 2 are respectively located on opposite sides of the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1, and the at least two hydraulic pumps 2 are connected by an oil pipe 22 so that the pressure between the hydraulic pumps 2 is the same, thereby achieving the same clamping force on both sides of the special-shaped structure 11. When the clamping jaws 3 on the opposite sides of the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1 move to clamp the special-shaped structure 11, the clamping jaw 3 that first contacts one side of the special-shaped structure 11 will not apply a clamping force to the special-shaped structure 11, and the clamping jaw 3 that does not contact the other side of the special-shaped structure 11 continues to move toward the special-shaped structure 11 under the drive of the hydraulic pump 2, so that the positioning center of the clamping jaws 3 on the opposite sides of the special-shaped structure 11 is floating, thereby preventing the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1 from being clamped and deformed. The hydraulic pump 2 drives the clamping jaw 3 to move to clamp the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1 , thereby achieving auxiliary clamping of the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1 , which is beneficial to improving the processing quality of the workpiece 1 .
[0033] Specifically, when the clamping jaw 3 on one side of the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1 contacts the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1, since the workpiece 1 has been fixed by other fixing devices at this time, the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1 applies a reaction force to the clamping jaw 3 in contact with it, and the clamping force of the clamping jaw 3 in contact with it is less than the reaction force, so that the clamping jaw 3 no longer continues to move toward the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1 to apply a clamping force thereon. When the clamping jaws 3 on both sides of the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1 are in contact with it, the hydraulic pump 2 continues to input pressure oil, so that the clamping force of the clamping jaw 3 increases, thereby clamping the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1. In this process, the position of the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1 does not change, avoiding over-positioning, and achieving floating clamping of the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1.
[0034] It should be noted that the number of the hydraulic pumps 2 can be 2, 3, 4, etc., and the number of the hydraulic pumps 2 is preferably set to a multiple of 2 so that the clamping forces on both sides of the workpiece 1 are the same.
[0035] Exemplarily, the driving end 21 of the hydraulic pump 2 is a piston of the hydraulic pump 2 .
[0036] In some embodiments, the guide member 4 is inserted into two hydraulic pumps 2 arranged opposite to each other, and the two hydraulic pumps 2 are connected through the guide member 4. The guide member 4 penetrates the clamping jaws 3 installed on the two hydraulic pumps 2, and the clamping jaws 3 move along the length direction of the guide member 4 under the drive of the hydraulic pumps 2, thereby guiding the movement of the clamping jaws 3.
[0037] In some other embodiments, the clamping jaw 3 is connected to the driving end 21 of the hydraulic pump 2 through the clamping jaw seat 5, the guide member 4 is inserted into two hydraulic pumps 2 arranged opposite to each other, and penetrates the clamping jaw seat 5 installed on the two hydraulic pumps 2, and the clamping jaw seat 5 moves along the length direction of the guide member 4 under the drive of the hydraulic pump 2 to drive the clamping jaw 3 to move along the length direction of the guide member 4. The processing difficulty of the clamping jaw 3 is reduced, thereby reducing the processing cost.
[0038] Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a guide member according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 3 It can be shown that, exemplarily, both ends of the guide member 4 are provided with a connecting portion 41, and the connecting portion 41 can be set as an external thread. The connecting portion 41 at one end of the guide rod is connected to the hydraulic pump 2 on one side by a thread, and the connecting portion 41 at the other end of the guide rod passes through the hydraulic pump 2 on the other side, and the guide rod and the hydraulic pump 2 on the other side are locked by a locking nut to facilitate maintenance and replacement. A limiting portion 42 is also provided on the guide member 4, and the limiting portion 42 can be set as a limiting step. The limiting step is clamped on the two hydraulic pumps 2 arranged opposite to each other to limit the distance between the two hydraulic pumps 2. When replacing workpieces 1 of different specifications, the distance between the two hydraulic pumps 2 arranged opposite to each other can be adjusted by replacing the guide member 4, thereby improving the versatility of the present application.
[0039] In some embodiments, an elastic member 6 is sleeved on the guide member 4, and the elastic member 6 is located between two clamping jaws 3 arranged opposite to each other. When the two clamping jaws 3 clamp the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1, the two clamping jaws 3 move relative to each other, and the elastic member 6 is compressed, which acts as a buffer for the clamping jaws 3 clamping the workpiece 1, thereby preventing the workpiece 1 from being deformed. When the workpiece 1 is processed, the hydraulic pump 2 arranged opposite to each other no longer applies the clamping force, and at this time, the restoring force of the elastic member 6 acts on the clamping jaws 3 or the clamping jaw seat 5 arranged opposite to each other, so that the clamping jaws 3 or the clamping jaw seat 5 arranged opposite to each other are moved away from each other, so as to pick up the workpiece 1.
[0040] Specifically, more than one guide member 4 is provided, and 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., can be provided. The elastic member 6 is provided corresponding to the guide member 4, that is, each guide member 4 is provided with an elastic member 6. In order to make the movement of the clamping jaw 3 more stable, the number of the guide members 4 is preferably set to 3.
[0041] Exemplarily, the guide member 4 may be configured as a guide pin or the like.
[0042] Exemplarily, the elastic member 6 may be configured as a spring or the like.
[0043] In some embodiments, in order to stabilize the clamping force of the clamping jaws 3, a one-way valve 23 is provided on the oil pipe 22 to prevent the pressure oil from flowing back.
[0044] In some embodiments, one of the hydraulic pumps 2 is provided with a pressure oil inlet 24, and the hydraulic pump 2 is connected to a hydraulic station (not shown) through the pressure oil inlet 24. The pressure of the hydraulic pump 2 is controlled by the hydraulic station (not shown), that is, the clamping force of the clamping jaws 3 is controlled to avoid deformation of the workpiece 1.
[0045] Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an application scenario of a floating clamping device according to some embodiments of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a mounting member 7 is installed on one of the hydraulic pumps 2, and the floating clamping device of the present application is connected to an external processing device of the workpiece 1 through the mounting member 7, thereby improving the versatility of the present application.
[0046] Specifically, the mounting member 7 is a screw rod, and a hydraulic pump 2 and an external processing equipment are respectively installed at both ends of the screw rod, which are locked by a locking nut so that when the external processing equipment processes the workpiece 1, the floating clamping device of the present application can assist in clamping the special-shaped structure 11 of the workpiece 1, thereby improving the processing quality of the workpiece 1.
[0047] To sum up, the utility model provides a floating clamping device, which arranges a hydraulic pump and a clamping jaw connected to the hydraulic pump on opposite sides of the workpiece, and the hydraulic pumps are connected by an oil pipe, so that the clamping forces applied to the workpiece by the clamping jaws on the opposite sides of the workpiece are the same. When the clamping jaws on the opposite sides of the workpiece move to clamp the workpiece, the clamping jaws that first contact one side of the workpiece will not apply a clamping force to the workpiece, and the clamping jaws that are not in contact with the other side of the workpiece continue to move toward the workpiece under the drive of the hydraulic pump, so that the positioning centers of the clamping jaws on the opposite sides of the workpiece are floating, thereby avoiding deformation of the workpiece due to clamping, realizing auxiliary clamping of the workpiece, and no over-positioning occurs, which is beneficial to improving the processing quality of the workpiece.
