Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a fixture for machining shaft workpieces, in particular to a tail end driven fixture for grinding shaft workpieces. Background Art

[0002] At present, the common internal hole grinding or end face grinding of shaft workpieces in China usually uses the clamping method of a clamping frame or a double center frame. Among them, the clamping method of the clamping frame clamps the tail end of the workpiece with a chuck and supports the front end of the workpiece with a center frame; the clamping method of the double center frame uses two center frames to support the tail end and front end of the workpiece respectively.

[0003] The commonly used fixtures for grinding shaft workpieces, such as the top, center stand, and chuck, not only have the function of fixing the workpiece, but also need to locate the geometric center of the clamping outer circle (or hole) of the workpiece to the rotating center axis of the machine tool spindle. If the positioning error is too large, it is very likely to cause the precision of the processed workpiece to exceed the tolerance. Among them, the centering accuracy of the top and the center stand is relatively high, but the centering accuracy of the common hydraulic chucks below 12 inches can only be controlled within 0.02mm, and the centering accuracy of the general manual self-centering chuck is even worse.

[0004] For conventional internal grinding machines, the chuck is a disassembled and replaceable accessory, so its rotation accuracy is generally not used as an accuracy test item during machine tool acceptance. When the chuck is installed on the machine tool headstock, its rotation center usually needs to be manually aligned. Due to the error of manual alignment, there is often a deviation between the center axis of the chuck and the rotation center axis of the machine tool spindle.

[0005] Combined with the errors in the centering accuracy and rotation accuracy of the chuck, the positioning accuracy of the workpiece by the clamping method of the clamping frame is poor. In the actual production process, workers usually need to adjust each clamping claw and manually align the rotation center of the workpiece to ensure the positioning accuracy of the workpiece. The manual alignment process is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, which increases the labor intensity of workers and also limits production efficiency to a certain extent.

[0006] As for the double center frame clamping method, when processing different workpieces, the centering positions of the two center frames need to be adjusted. The adjustment process is slow, which also limits production efficiency to a certain extent. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a tail-end driven clamp for grinding shaft workpieces in view of the deficiencies in the prior art. The clamp has high positioning accuracy for shaft workpieces and a centering accuracy of less than 0.001 mm. It can achieve high-precision and high-efficiency clamping of shaft workpieces and improve the average grinding efficiency of shaft workpieces by about 10%.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a tail end driving clamp for grinding shaft workpieces, comprising a flange, a transmission rod, a transmission block, a driving ring and a plurality of springs, the two ends of the transmission rod are respectively fixedly connected to the flange and the transmission block, the driving ring is fixedly connected to the transmission block, the driving ring and the flange are coaxially arranged, an opening is provided on the driving ring, a first through hole and a first threaded hole are respectively vertically arranged on both sides of the opening, a locking screw passes through the first through hole and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole, the driving ring is used to clamp the tail end of the shaft workpiece, the plurality of springs are evenly spaced along the circumference of the driving ring, and the two ends of each of the springs are respectively connected to the flange and the driving ring.

[0009] After the tail end of the utility model is driven by the fixture, the flange is fixed on the transition plate of the machine headstock, the driving ring is set on the outer side of the tail end of the shaft workpiece, the locking screw is in a locked state, so that the driving ring tightly embraces the tail end of the shaft workpiece, and the tail end of the shaft workpiece is tightened by the top, and the front end of the shaft workpiece is set and locked on the conventional center frame. Start the machine tool to complete the grinding of the shaft workpiece.

[0010] Compared with the traditional clamping method of the clamping frame, the tail end driving fixture of the utility model can replace the chuck. The positioning of the shaft workpiece is mainly determined by the center. When the fixture is installed on the machine tool headstock, there is no need to perform high-precision centering and alignment work. The preliminary preparation time for processing the workpiece is short. In addition, since the centering accuracy of the center is usually higher than that of the chuck, the positioning accuracy of the shaft workpiece using the tail end driving fixture of the utility model is high. Combined with the precision detection of the center installation hole in the machine tool acceptance inspection project, a higher positioning accuracy of the shaft workpiece can be achieved, and the centering accuracy can reach within 0.001mm. After the shaft workpiece is clamped, there is no need for workers to manually align the rotation center of the workpiece, which improves the processing efficiency. Compared with the clamping method of the double center frame, the tail end driving fixture of the utility model reduces the process of adjusting the centering position of the center frame once, which improves the processing efficiency.

[0011] Preferably, both ends of each spring are hooked on a lifting eye screw and a tensioning screw, the lifting eye screw is threadedly connected to the flange, and the tensioning screw is threadedly connected to the driving ring. The spring transmits and applies tensioning force to the driving ring through the tensioning screw.

[0012] Preferably, the flange is provided with multiple groups of axial threaded holes, each group of axial threaded holes includes multiple axial threaded holes radially arranged outward from the central axis of the flange, each of the eyebolts is threadedly connected to one of the axial threaded holes, and the outer wall of the driving ring is provided with multiple radial threaded holes, each of the radial threaded holes corresponds to a group of axial threaded holes, and each of the tensioning screws is threadedly connected to one of the radial threaded holes. The design of multiple groups of axial threaded holes facilitates the flexible adjustment of the position of the eyebolt according to the outer diameter of the driving ring, so that the center line of the spring remains parallel to the center line of the driving ring, and meets the clamping needs of shaft workpieces of different specifications.

[0013] Preferably, the flange is provided with a keyway, the bottom of the keyway is provided with a plurality of second threaded holes, one end of the transmission rod is embedded in the keyway, and one end of the transmission rod is fixed to the flange by screw connection and welding.
