[0002] Laser cutting, as a fast and efficient processing method, has been widely used in various industrial fields. When cutting a workpiece, a laser cutting machine usually needs to use a matching chuck to clamp the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from loosening during the cutting process and affecting the laser cutting quality.
[0003] Most of the existing pneumatic chucks are of double-piston structure, that is, the same piston drives the movement of two relative jaw assemblies. The two pistons are arranged in the cylinder body of the chuck, one in front and one behind. The front ends of the pistons cooperate with the jaw assembly through a transmission structure such as a crank or a wedge block, and the cylinder body is provided with air passages corresponding to the two pistons to facilitate inward air intake to push the piston forward or backward, thereby driving the jaw assembly to clamp or release the workpiece.
[0004] The pneumatic chuck of this structure not only has a complex internal structure and high subsequent maintenance costs, but the piston is a moving part, and there are many sealing parts around it and in various parts of the airway, which makes sealing difficult.

[0047] The rotating plate 2 rotates to drive the two clamping jaw assemblies connected thereto to move, and the driving cylinder 3 provides power for the rotation of the rotating plate 2.
[0048] The clamping jaw assembly includes a slider 4 and a clamping jaw 5 mounted on the slider 4 .
[0049] Specifically, the clamping jaw 5 is connected to the slider 4 by bolts, and a rear tooth surface is provided at the edge of the front side of the slider 4, and a front tooth surface matching the rear tooth surface is also provided on the side opposite to the clamping jaw 5. The tooth surfaces cooperate with the slider 4 to prevent movement between the two, thereby ensuring stability when clamping the workpiece.
[0050] Preferably, an anti-wear strip 6 is provided on the inner side of the clamping jaw 5 to prevent the clamping jaw 5 from wearing the workpiece.
[0051] In order to facilitate the installation of the clamping jaw assembly, a sliding groove 7 for accommodating the sliding block 4 is provided on the front side of the chuck front cover 1 .
[0052] The cross section of the chute 7 is a "convex" shape, and the cross section of the slider 4 matches it, which can prevent the slider 4 from falling out of the chute 7.
[0053] In order to facilitate the connection between the rotating plate 2 and the clamping jaw assembly, two connecting protruding plates 8 are provided on the periphery of the rotating plate 2 to connect the corresponding two clamping jaw assemblies.
[0054] The rotation of the rotating plate 2 drives the clamping or loosening of the clamping jaw assembly. In order to achieve this effect, a connecting waist hole 9 located in the circumferential direction and with one end inclined outward is provided on the connecting convex plate 8. The two connecting waist holes 9 on the same rotating plate 2 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center, and a connecting pin 10 connected to the corresponding clamping jaw assembly is installed in the connecting waist hole 9.
[0055] Specifically, the connecting waist hole 9 is located in the circumferential direction, with one end thereof tilted outwards and the other end tilted inwards.
[0056] Due to this inclined setting, if the rotating plate 2 rotates toward the inwardly inclined side of the connecting waist hole 9, the two clamping jaw assemblies connected to the rotating plate 2 move away from each other to loosen the workpiece; conversely, if the rotating plate 2 rotates toward the outwardly inclined side of the connecting waist hole 9, the two clamping jaw assemblies move toward each other to clamp the workpiece.
[0057] In this embodiment, the clockwise sides of the four connecting waist holes 9 are all ends inclined outwards, that is, when the rotating plate 2 rotates clockwise, the clamping jaw assembly moves inwards.
[0058] In order to ensure smooth fit between the connecting pin 10 and the connecting waist hole 9, a bearing is provided at the rear end of the connecting pin 10, and the connecting pin 10 is matched with the connecting waist hole 9 through the bearing.
[0059] The front end of the connecting pin 10 can be fixedly connected to the sliding block 4 by means of screws.

[0062] In this embodiment, four driving cylinders 3 are provided, and are respectively connected to four connecting protruding plates 8 on two rotating plates 2 , and the four driving cylinders 3 are located on the counterclockwise side of the corresponding connecting protruding plates 8 .
[0063] When the piston rod of the driving cylinder 3 extends, it drives the rotating plate 2 to rotate clockwise, which can push each clamping jaw assembly to move inward to clamp the workpiece; when the piston rod of the driving cylinder 3 retracts, it drives the rotating plate 2 to rotate counterclockwise, which can drive each clamping jaw assembly to move outward to release the workpiece.
[0064] For the rotating plate 2 located on the front side, the L-shaped connecting plate 12 is connected to the rear side of the corresponding connecting protrusion 8; for the rotating plate 2 on the rear side, the L-shaped connecting plate 12 is connected to the front side of the corresponding connecting protrusion 8, which can make the internal structure of the chuck more compact and reduce its occupied space.
[0065] In order to realize the installation of the driving cylinder 3 , the driving cylinder 3 is installed on the rear side of the chuck front cover 1 .
[0066] A support column 13 is provided on the rear side of the chuck front cover 1, and the tail of the driving cylinder 3 is installed on the support column 13 through a bearing. While supporting the driving cylinder 3, it can also facilitate the angle adjustment of the driving cylinder 3 when it is extended and retracted, thereby making it more convenient to drive the rotating plate 2 to rotate.
[0067] In order to ensure the smooth rotation of the rotating plate 2 and reduce the wear of the inner ring of the rotating plate 2, a front bearing seat 14 is provided in the inner ring of the rotating plate 2, and a bearing I 15 is installed between the front bearing seat 14 and the rotating plate 2.
