[0002] Generally, CNC machining refers to computer digital controlled precision machining, CNC machining lathes, CNC machining milling machines, CNC machining boring and milling machines, etc. CNC machining center is an automated machining equipment that integrates automatic machining and automatic tool changing.

[0003] The common internal expansion tooling uses the force of axial pullback, the pullback of the tapered surface, and the deformation of the expansion sleeve to achieve the clamping and loosening of the workpiece. In the automated production process, the workpiece is completely moved and transferred by the robot. When the CNC automatically clamps and processes the workpiece, the robot clamps the workpiece on the expansion sleeve. The tooling needs to expand the workpiece after the robot leaves.

[0004] However, in the process from when the robot releases the workpiece to when it clamps the workpiece, the workpiece is easily affected by gravity and the friction between the robot and the workpiece during the relaxation process, causing the workpiece to deflect. After the workpiece deflects, it affects the subsequent positioning processing and positioning installation of the workpiece during the automated processing process. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] The present application embodiment discloses an internal expansion tooling for a CNC machining center, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, including a tooling seat 11 installed on the main body of the machining center, a through hole is coaxially opened on the tooling seat 11, an expansion sleeve 12 is movably arranged on the side of the tooling seat 11 away from the main body of the machining center, a channel coaxial with the through hole is penetrated through the expansion sleeve 12, a pull rod 13 is passed through the channel of the expansion sleeve 12, one end of the pull rod 13 close to the main body of the machining center is connected to the main body of the machining center, and the other end is connected to an expansion block, the expansion block is conical, and cooperates with the channel of the expansion sleeve 12 away from the tooling seat 11.

[0020] When the manipulator installs the workpiece on the expansion and contraction sleeve 12, the workpiece is clamped between the multiple clamping wheels 2 for elastic clamping, which can pre-position the workpiece, prevent the workpiece from rotating before being fixed by internal expansion, and improve the accuracy of continuous processing of the workpiece.

[0021] Around the tooling seat 11, there is a pre-clamping assembly for clamping the workpiece on the expansion and contraction sleeve 12. Specifically, the pre-clamping assembly includes a plurality of clamping wheels 2 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the tooling seat 11. The clamping wheels 2 are used to elastically contact the outer wall of the workpiece. The outer ring of the clamping wheel 2 is a rubber layer made of rubber material. A connecting frame 3 is fixed around the tooling seat 11. The connecting frame 3 is T-shaped. One end of the connecting frame 3 is connected to the tooling seat 11. The end of the connecting frame 3 away from the connection is a connecting rod 31. The axis of the connecting rod 31 is perpendicular and staggered with the axis of the expansion and contraction sleeve 12 in space. The two ends of the connecting rod 31 are connected to the clamping wheels 2.

[0022] Furthermore, connecting blocks 32 are hinged at both ends of the connecting rod 31, and the gears at both ends of the connecting rod 31 are respectively rotatably connected to the two connecting blocks 32. The connecting rod 31 is provided with a limit groove, which is used to limit the axis of the clamping wheel 2 on the two connecting blocks 32 to be parallel to the axis of the connecting rod 31, and can limit the two clamping wheels 2 from rotating away from the side close to the expansion and contraction sleeve 12 during the rotation of the two connecting blocks 32. Torsion springs 33 are provided at both ends of the connecting rod 31, one end of the torsion spring 33 is connected to the connecting block 32, and the other end is connected to the connecting rod 31, which is used to drive the connecting block 32 to rotate until the axis of the clamping wheel 2 is parallel to the axis of the connecting rod 31.

[0023] Among them, when the clamping wheel 2 clamps the workpiece, the two clamping wheels 2 are squeezed and deflected, so that the side of the clamping wheel 2 contacts the workpiece, increasing the contact area with the workpiece. At the same time, the two clamping wheels 2 flip towards each other to increase the friction force on the workpiece in the circumferential direction and improve the clamping stability of the workpiece.

[0024] Reference Figure 3Furthermore, one end of the connecting frame 3 close to the tooling seat 11 is hinged to the tooling seat 11, and also includes a driving assembly for driving the multiple connecting frames 3 to rotate synchronously. After the expansion sleeve 12 expands and fixes the workpiece in an internal expansion manner, the connecting frame 3 is driven to rotate synchronously to rotate the clamping wheel 2 away from the outside of the workpiece, so that the machining tool can process the outer wall of the workpiece conveniently. After the machining is completed, the multiple clamping wheels 2 are driven to clamp the workpiece.

[0025] Specifically, the driving assembly includes a driving frame 5 and multiple connecting rods 4. The connecting rod 4 is connected to the tooling seat 11 by radial sliding along the expansion and contraction sleeve 12. The connecting rod 4 is connected to the connecting frame 3 at one end by sliding and rotation. The driving frame 5 is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the tooling seat 11. Multiple guide rails 51 are provided on the driving frame 5. The end of the connecting rod 4 away from the tooling seat 11 is connected to the guide rail 51 by sliding along the length direction of the guide rail 51. The multiple guide rails 51 form a bucket-shaped guide rail 51 group. The end of the guide rail 51 group away from the main body of the machining center is a larger opening. The driving cylinder 52 is also included. The driving cylinder 52 is used to drive the driving frame 5 to slide axially along the expansion and contraction sleeve 12.

[0026] Furthermore, both ends of the connecting rod 4 are rotatably connected with rollers 34, and a slide groove 35 is opened on the connecting frame 3. The connecting rod 4 extends into the slide groove 35, and the roller 34 of the connecting rod 4 close to the connecting frame 3 rolls in contact with the slide groove 35, and the other end of the connecting rod 4 rises to the guide rail 51, and the roller 34 of the connecting rod 4 close to the guide rail 51 rolls in contact with the guide rail 51.
