The main function of the centering mechanism is to ensure that the bar can maintain a stable rotation axis during processing, thereby ensuring processing accuracy and product quality. However, the existing centering mechanism has many problems in use, especially when processing bars with small diameters and high precision requirements, its limitations are particularly obvious.
[0003] In the prior art, the centering mechanism for small bars is often complex in design, inconvenient to operate, and it is difficult to achieve ideal centering accuracy. Especially when the bar diameter is small and the processing accuracy requirements are high, the existing centering mechanism often cannot meet the production needs, resulting in unstable product quality and low processing efficiency. In addition, the existing centering mechanism often needs to rely on the experience and skills of the operator during the adjustment process, and cannot achieve fast and accurate automatic adjustment, which further limits its application in the field of high-precision bar processing.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is to design a high-precision centering mechanism for bars, including a base, a centering rod, a centering device, a limit plate, a matching plate and a bar chuck. The base, the centering device, the limit plate and the matching plate are sequentially stacked on the centering rod from front to back.

[0022] The following is a further description of the specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Example
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a high-precision centering mechanism for rods is shown, the core of which is composed of a base 1, a centering rod 2, a centering device 3, a limit plate 4, a matching plate 5 and a rod chuck 6. These components are precisely designed and manufactured to jointly achieve high-precision control of the centering rod.
[0024] Equipment structure:
[0025] Base 1: As the supporting foundation of the whole mechanism, base 1 has sufficient rigidity and stability. It has multiple round holes for installing threaded cylindrical pins 7, which cooperate with the external threads 312 of the counterweight screw 31 to provide precise guidance and support for the rotation of the counterweight screw 31.
[0026] Centering rod 2: It is inserted through the center of the base 1 and is a key component for clamping and positioning the bar. A bar chuck 6 is fixed to the front end of the centering rod 2 to clamp the bar workpiece and perform corresponding actions as the centering rod 2 moves and rotates.
[0027] Centering device 3: designed as a pair, respectively installed on both sides of the centering rod 2, for achieving precise adjustment of the centering rod 2 in the X-axis and Y-axis directions. Each centering device 3 includes key components such as a counterweight screw 31, a balance sheet 32 and a spring 33. The centering hole opened in the center of the balance sheet 32 has a special rounded rectangular shape, which can achieve radial centering of the centering rod 2. At the same time, the outer circumference of the balance sheet 32 also opens a spring hole 322 and a groove 323 for installing the spring 33 and the adjustment tail cone 313 of the counterweight screw 31.
[0028] The limiting piece 4 and the matching piece 5 are passed through the centering rod 2 and are located at the tail of the centering device 6 to play the role of limiting and matching, ensuring that the relative position relationship between the various components is stable and reliable.
[0029] Bar chuck 6: fixed at the front end of the centering rod 2, used to clamp the bar workpiece. Its compact design and uniform clamping force can ensure the stability and accuracy of the bar during processing.
[0030] The base 1, the centering device 3, the stopper 4 and the matching plate 5 are sequentially stacked on the centering rod 2 to form a compact and stable structure. The bar chuck 6 is fixed to the front end of the centering rod 2 and can move and rotate accordingly with the movement and rotation of the centering rod 2. It is particularly worth mentioning that the centering device 3 is designed as a pair, which is responsible for adjusting the centering rod 2 in the X-axis and Y-axis directions respectively. This design enables the mechanism to have the ability of two-way flexible control.
[0031] In the centering device 3, the weight screw 31, the balance sheet 32 and the spring 33 are key components. The centering hole 321 opened in the center of the balance sheet 32 is in the shape of a rounded rectangle with complete semicircular corners. This design enables the centering rod 2 to achieve radial centering. At the same time, the outer circumference of the balance sheet 32 also opens a spring hole 322 and a groove 323, and the spring 33 is placed in the spring hole 322 to maintain the centering reaction force of the balance sheet. The weight screw 31 is inserted into the groove 323 of the balance sheet 32 through the adjustment tail cone 313 at its bottom. By controlling the insertion depth of the adjustment tail cone 313 and cooperating with the reaction force of the spring 33, the radial adjustment of the balance sheet 32 is achieved.
[0032] In addition, a circular hole is provided on the base 1, in which a threaded cylindrical pin 7 is arranged, which cooperates with the external thread 312 on the counterweight screw 31, so that the counterweight screw 31 can be rotated in and out, thereby conveniently adjusting the position of the centering rod 2. The entire mechanism also realizes the precise positioning of each component through the positioning pin 8, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the mechanism.
[0033] Workflow:
[0034] Preparation stage: First, check whether the various components are intact and ensure that the mechanism is in good working condition. Then, place the bar workpiece in the bar chuck 6 and adjust the position of the chuck so that it clamps the bar workpiece.
[0035] Adjustment stage: Next, the operator needs to turn the two counterweight screws 31 to adjust the position of the centering rod 2 in the X-axis and Y-axis directions respectively. In the process of turning the counterweight screw 31, the adjustment tail cone 313 at the bottom will move in the groove 323 of the balance plate 32, thereby changing the position of the balance plate 32. At the same time, the spring 33 will provide a corresponding reaction force to ensure that the balance plate 32 can be stably maintained in the desired position. By continuously adjusting the rotation angle and depth of the counterweight screw 31, precise control of the centering rod 2 can be achieved, so that the eccentricity of the rod is gradually reduced to within the preset range.
[0036] Processing stage: After the adjustment of the centering rod 2 is completed, the operator can start the processing equipment to process the bar. During the processing, due to the precise control of the centering mechanism 3, the runout of the bar will be significantly reduced, thereby improving the processing quality and efficiency.
[0037] Maintenance stage: After using for a period of time, the operator needs to perform regular inspection and maintenance on the self-aligning mechanism 3, including cleaning the debris and dirt on each component, checking the elasticity of the spring 33 and the fastening of the counterweight screw 31, etc. Ensure that the mechanism is always in good working condition to extend its service life and improve work efficiency.

This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present invention, the present invention can also be improved and modified, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present utility model.
