DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the utility model described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0021] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to be protected, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] The following is further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the utility model is a fast alignment fixture for an accelerating tube coupler, comprising a three-jaw chuck 1, wherein a first clamping seat 2 is arranged on one of the jaws 11 of the three-jaw chuck 1, a first clamping groove 21 is provided on the first clamping seat 2, the side wall of the first clamping groove is in an arc shape, and is adapted to the shape of a circular portion 51 of an accelerating tube coupler 5; the other two jaws 11 of the three-jaw chuck 1 are each provided with a second clamping seat 3, a second clamping groove 31 is provided on the second clamping seat 3, the side wall of the second clamping groove 31 comprises an arc segment 311 and a straight segment 312, the arc segment 311 is located on a side of the second clamping groove 31 close to the first clamping groove 21 and its shape is adapted to the circular portion 51, the straight segment 312 is located on a side of the second clamping groove 31 away from the first clamping groove 21 and its shape is adapted to the side of the rectangular portion 52. A clamping piece 4 for clamping against the end face of the rectangular portion 52 is provided on the side of the second clamping seat 3 away from the first clamping seat 2. When the three clamping claws 11 of the three-claw card move simultaneously in the direction close to the accelerating tube coupler 5, the first clamping groove 21 can fit with the circular portion 51, and the side wall of the second clamping groove 31 can fit with the side faces of the circular portion 51 and the rectangular portion 52 of the accelerating tube coupler 5 at the same time. In this process, the side wall of the second clamping groove 31 can automatically adjust the position of the accelerating tube coupler 5, so that when clamping is completed, the end face of the rectangular portion 52 on the accelerating tube coupler 5 is directly opposite to the clamping piece 4, and there is no need to manually adjust the angle of the accelerating tube coupler 5, thereby improving the clamping efficiency and clamping accuracy.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, when the three clamping jaws 11 of the three-jaw chuck 1 are closed toward the center to the limit position, there is a gap between the first clamping seat 2 and the second clamping seat 3, and between the two second clamping seats 3, so as to ensure the reliability after clamping. It is avoided that the first clamping seat 2 and the second clamping seat 3 conflict with each other after moving to the limit position, resulting in a gap between the first clamping seat 2 or the second clamping seat 3 and the accelerating tube coupler 5, resulting in poor clamping effect.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the abutting member 4 includes a abutting bolt 41 and a abutting block 42. The abutting bolt 41 is threadedly connected to the second clamping seat 3 and the length direction of the abutting bolt 41 is perpendicular to the end face of the rectangular portion 52 of the accelerating tube coupler 5. The abutting block 42 is rotatably connected to the end of the abutting bolt 41. By tightening the abutting bolt 41, the abutting block 42 can be moved and abutted against the end face of the rectangular portion 52 of the accelerating tube coupler 5, thereby achieving the positioning of the accelerating tube coupler 5. A rubber pad 421 is provided on one side of the abutting block 42 away from the abutting bolt 41 to avoid a rigid collision between the abutting block 42 and the accelerating tube coupler 5, thereby preventing the accelerating tube coupler 5 from being worn.

[0026] In this embodiment, the abutting block 42 is selected as a rectangular block, the width of which is greater than the thickness of the accelerating tube coupler 5, and the second clamping seat 3 is provided with a receiving groove 32 for receiving and moving the abutting block 42, the depth of which is greater than the depth of the second clamping groove 31. By making the width of the abutting block 42 greater than the thickness of the accelerating tube coupler 5, the contact area between the abutting block 42 and the accelerating tube coupler 5 is increased, thereby improving the positioning effect to a certain extent.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the first clamping seat 2 and the second clamping seat 3 are both provided with countersunk holes 22, and the number of the countersunk holes 22 is at least two. A connecting bolt 23 is provided in each countersunk hole 22, and a threaded hole matching the connecting bolt 23 is correspondingly provided on the jaws 11 of the three-jaw chuck 1. The first clamping seat 2 and the second clamping seat 3 are respectively fixed to the jaws 11 of the three-jaw chuck 1 by at least two connecting bolts 23 to ensure the stability of the first clamping seat 2 and the second clamping seat 3 after installation.

[0028] In this embodiment, the tightening bolt 41 and the connecting bolt 23 are both hexagon socket bolts, and the entire nut of the hexagon socket bolt is sunk into the countersunk hole 22, which can keep the surface of the workpiece smooth and beautiful. And because the installation tool of the hexagon socket bolt is a hexagon wrench, it is suitable for more assembly occasions, especially in narrow occasions, so as to facilitate the loading and unloading process.

[0029] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
