AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing three-claw chuck design has a thicker overall thickness of the chuck because the axis of the small bevel gear is perpendicular to the axis of the chuck body, which limits the processing range.

Method used

By changing the meshing method between the small bevel gear and the large bevel gear, and the axis of the small bevel gear is at a 30° oblique angle with the disk surface of the chuck body, the horizontal height of the head end of the small bevel gear is higher than the horizontal height of the tail end of the small bevel gear.

Benefits of technology

The thickness of the manual chuck is reduced, the processing range of the chuck is increased, and the problem of the wrench rotation is avoided due to insufficient chuck thickness.

Under the action of the jaw driving mechanism, the three groups of movable jaws can move radially at the same time to realize automatic centering and clamping. The thin manual chuck is suitable for clamping workpieces of round, regular triangle or regular hexagon.

[0021] The chuck body 1 is composed of a chuck cover 11 and a connecting disk 12. Specifically, the chuck cover 11 is a cover-shaped structure with a through hole opened in the axis, and the connecting disk 12 is an annular structure. The connecting disk 12 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the chuck cover 11, and the outer diameter of the connecting disk 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the chuck cover 11; the connecting disk 12 is the flange of the chuck and its main function is to provide an installation position for the chuck. Based on this, four U-shaped grooves 121 are opened on the connecting disk 12, and the U-shaped grooves 121 are used for connecting the chuck to the tooling table; in other embodiments, the U-shaped grooves 121 can be replaced by holes; in this embodiment, the chuck body 1 is an integrated structure;

The lower claw 4 is slidably arranged in the I-shaped groove 111, and the upper claw 3 is fixed to the upper end of the lower claw 4 by the fastening screws 7.

[0024] The claw driving mechanism includes a large bevel gear 2, a small bevel gear 5, a back cover 6, a latch 8 and a limit screw 9, wherein the back cover 6 is fixed to the inner side of the chuck cover 11 by the latch 8 and the back cover 6 is coaxial with the chuck cover 11; the back cover 6 is an annular structure, and three blind holes 61 are provided on its outer wall; the angle between the opening direction of the blind holes 61 and the axis of the back cover 6 is 60°; the large bevel gear 2 is provided on the inner side of the chuck cover 11 through the back cover 6, wherein the upper end of the back cover 6 is slidably connected to the lower end of the large bevel gear 2, and the back cover 6 can hold up the large bevel gear 2 to provide stable support for the large bevel gear 2 during circumferential rotation; in addition, the large bevel gear 2 is coaxially arranged with the chuck cover 11; the large bevel gear 2 is an annular structure, and the upper end face of the large bevel gear 2 is provided with an Archimedes spiral groove, and the lower end face is provided with bevel teeth; the lower end of the lower claw 4 is meshed with the Archimedes spiral groove of the large bevel gear 2;

[0025] The small bevel gear 5 is a columnar structure, and the small bevel gear 5 and the limit screw 9 are each provided with three and the two correspond one to one. The limit screw 9 is longitudinally arranged on the chuck cover 11 and is located on the upper side of the small bevel gear 5. The lower end of the limit screw 9 abuts against the head end of the small bevel gear 5, so that the small bevel gear 5 is clamped in the chuck body 1, which is used for the stability of the small bevel gear 5 after installation; the three small bevel gears 5 are evenly distributed around the axis of the large bevel gear 2 and correspond to the three blind holes 61. Specifically, the small bevel gear 5 is obliquely penetrated from the outside to the inside through the outer wall of the chuck cover 11, and the tail end of the small bevel gear 5 is slidably arranged in the blind hole 61; the small bevel gear 5 is meshed with the bevel teeth of the large bevel gear 2; a square hole is opened on the head end of the small bevel gear 5, and the square hole is used to provide a fulcrum for the wrench; when any small bevel gear 5 is rotated, the large bevel gear 2 rotates, and the large bevel gear 2 drives the three sets of movable claws to move radially at the same time, so as to realize automatic centering and clamping;

[0026] Furthermore, the angle between the axis of the small bevel gear 5 and the axis of the rear cover 6 is 60°, which can be understood as the axis of the small bevel gear 5 and the disk surface of the chuck body forming an oblique angle of 30°, which can also be understood as the horizontal height of the head end of the small bevel gear 5 is higher than the horizontal height of the tail end of the small bevel gear 5. By changing the meshing mode of the small bevel gear 5 and the large bevel gear 2, compared with the existing small bevel gear vertically arranged on the outer cylindrical surface of the chuck, when using a wrench to operate the ultra-thin chuck, the wrench can obtain more operating space, and the rotation of the wrench will not be affected by the insufficient thickness of the chuck. Through such a design, there is no need to reserve too much operating space for the wrench when designing the thickness of the chuck, so the thickness of the chuck can be greatly reduced, thereby increasing the processing range of the chuck.

[0027] 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.
