DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] The utility model provides a technical solution: Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, in the present embodiment, an aviation aluminum alloy curved workpiece clamping device comprises a workbench 1, a pulling column 5 is slidably connected to the middle part of the workbench 1, a plurality of rotating rods 6 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the pulling column 5, one end of each of the plurality of rotating rods 6 is rotatably connected to a clamping plate 4, one side of each of the plurality of clamping plates 4 is fixedly connected to a rubber gasket 7, a base 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the workbench 1, a pulling cylinder 2 is fixedly installed in the middle part of the inner part of the base 9, a pulling frame 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pulling cylinder 2, and the middle part of the upper end of the pulling frame 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the pulling column 5, by opening the pulling cylinder 2, the pulling column 5 is pulled downward, and the four rotating rods 6 are rotated along the pulling column 5, so that the four clamping plates 4 slide in the guide groove 14 respectively, so that the outer surface of the rubber gasket 7 clamps the inner wall of the workpiece, this structure is simple, and the operation is convenient, which improves the clamping efficiency of the workpiece.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a through groove 13 is penetrated on one side of the workbench 1, and the inner wall of the through groove 13 is rotatably connected with a special-shaped rod 8, a sliding column 16 is fixedly connected on one side of the pulling frame 3, and a sliding groove 17 is penetrated on one side of the special-shaped rod 8, and the outer wall of the sliding column 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 17, and a moving frame 10 is slidably connected on one side of the special-shaped rod 8. When the pulling cylinder 2 is pulled downward to pull the pulling frame 3, the sliding column 16 slides in the sliding groove 17, and one end of the special-shaped rod 8 is pressed downward to make one side of the special-shaped rod 8 rotate in the through groove 13, and the moving frame 10 slides on the limiting guide rail 12, so that the two clamping frames 19 clamp the outer surface of the workpiece, effectively improving the stability of the clamping device.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected to a limiting guide rail 12, and the outer wall of the limiting guide rail 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the moving frame 10. Through the structural design of the limiting guide rail 12, the moving frame 10 can be limited to prevent the sliding position of the moving frame 10 from being misaligned due to long-term use.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the mobile frame 10 is slidably connected with a clamping frame 19, and one side of the clamping frame 19 is fixedly connected with a return spring 18. One end of the return spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mobile frame 10. When the clamping frame 19 contacts the workpiece, one side of the clamping frame 19 slides in the mobile frame 10 to squeeze the return spring 18. The reaction force of the return spring 18 pushes the clamping frame 19 outward, thereby improving the clamping stability of the clamping frame 19.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the other sides of the multiple clamping plates 4 are fixedly connected with reinforcing ribs 15, and the lower ends of the multiple reinforcing ribs 15 are slidably connected to the upper end of the workbench 1.

The outer walls of the multiple sliding rods 20 are respectively slidably connected to the inner walls of the multiple guide grooves 14, and the clamping plates 4 are guided by the structural design of the guide grooves 14.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, two guide frames 11 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 9, and one side of the two guide frames 11 is slidably connected to the two sides of the pulling frame 3 respectively, and the sliding direction of the pulling frame 3 is limited by the guide frames 11.

[0029] The utility model provides a clamping device for aviation aluminum alloy curved surface workpieces, and the specific working principle is as follows:

[0030] When clamping the aviation aluminum alloy curved workpiece, first place the workpiece in the middle position of the workbench 1, turn on the pulling cylinder 2, pull the pulling column 5 downward, and the four rotating rods 6 rotate along the pulling column 5, so that the four clamping plates 4 slide in the guide groove 14 respectively, and the outer surface of the rubber gasket 7 clamps the inner wall of the workpiece. While the pulling cylinder 2 pulls the pulling frame 3 downward, the sliding column 16 slides in the sliding groove 17, and one end of the special-shaped rod 8 is pressed downward, so that one side of the special-shaped rod 8 rotates in the through groove 13, and the moving frame 10 slides on the limiting guide rail 12. When the clamping frame 19 contacts the workpiece, one side of the clamping frame 19 slides in the moving frame 10 to squeeze the reset spring 18. The reaction force of the reset spring 18 pushes the clamping frame 19 outward, and the two clamping frames 19 clamp the outer surface of the workpiece, thereby completing the clamping of the workpiece.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
