Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a vertical lathe clamp, in particular to a vertical lathe clamp for preventing deformation of thin ring parts. Background Art

[0002] Thin ring parts have the characteristics of large inner and outer diameters and thin thickness, see Figure 1 , which often causes some problems in processing.

[0003] The existing processing of thin ring parts is carried out by fixing them with traditional tie rod expansion sleeve lathe fixtures, see Figure 2 The working principle of this fixture is: the pull rod moves and presses down the expansion sleeve, making the expansion sleeve tight, thereby fixing the part. However, in this fixing method, since thin ring parts are large and thin, the expansion sleeve fits tightly on the surface of the part, and the pull rod will exert downward friction on the thin ring parts, causing the parts to deform, which is easy to cause its thickness and flatness to exceed the tolerance, reducing the qualified rate of part processing.

[0004] As the requirements for machining precision of thin ring parts are increasing, this problem becomes more prominent. It is necessary to design a new type of vertical lathe fixture for thin ring parts to fix the parts while avoiding deformation caused by pressing down.

[0005] In order to prevent the thin wall of the workpiece from being deformed by pressure, the Chinese patent with publication number CN213288705U provides a vertical lathe clamp, including a positioning block, a clamp, and a workpiece; the clamp is installed on the positioning block; the clamp can adapt to workpieces of different diameters through the adjustment slot on the positioning block; the height of the pressure block is adjusted by bolts to make the clamp adapt to thin-walled workpieces of different widths, and the clamp is clamped from the end face of the workpiece by a pressure plate. However, when the clamp is used to fix and process thin ring parts, there are problems such as (1) the outer circle cannot be processed, (2) the stability of the clamp is low, and (3) it is inconvenient to use.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] 1. The utility model discloses a vertical lathe clamp for preventing deformation of thin ring parts. The design of the mandrel combined with a flexible expansion sleeve is adopted. The mandrel and the expansion sleeve are matched with each other in a conical surface. The mandrel is connected to the pull rod of the vertical lathe. When tightened, the mandrel produces a vertical downward displacement. The expansion sleeve is subjected to force to tighten the thin ring parts. Since the expansion sleeve is fixedly connected to the transition plate, it is tightened only by partial deformation of the flexibility, so that no vertical displacement is generated. Therefore, only radial tensioning force is applied to the parts, thereby avoiding deformation of the thin ring parts caused by the displacement of the expansion sleeve during clamping, ensuring the thickness and flatness of the thin ring parts during processing, and improving the qualified rate of the thin ring parts.

[0038] 2. The utility model discloses a vertical lathe fixture for preventing deformation of thin ring parts, which adopts a separate support seat design.

[0039] 3. The utility model is a vertical lathe fixture for preventing deformation of thin ring parts, wherein the upper end of the expansion sleeve adopts a split ring structure, and the tensioning part is composed of multiple sectors and filled non-metallic materials, which improves the tensioning performance and ensures the strength of the expansion sleeve.

[0040] 4. The utility model provides a vertical lathe fixture for preventing deformation of thin ring parts. By arranging a weight-reducing groove at the lower end of a support plate and a weight-reducing cavity at the lower end of a transition plate, the weight of the vertical lathe fixture is reduced.
