[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0021] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a technical solution: an octagonal clamp for a lathe, comprising a main body 1, four claw seats 6 are evenly arranged at the edge of the front side of the main body 1 in the circumferential direction, a first wedge block 5 is slidably inserted at the position of the claw seat 6 on the side of the main body 1, the bottom of the claw seat 6 is fixedly connected to the first wedge block 5, a telescopic spring is inserted in the sliding direction of the first wedge block 5 inside the main body 1, one end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the first wedge block 5, and the other end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the main body 1, a central connecting column 17 is slidably inserted at the center of the main body 1, one end of the central connecting column 17 is provided with a pull rod connecting plate 18, and the other end of the central connecting column 17 is provided with a fourth wedge block 16, the first wedge block 5 extends to one end of the main body 1 and is connected to the first wedge block 5. The inclined edges of the four wedge blocks 16 cooperate with each other, and a base 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the main body 1 by bolts. A transition plate 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base 2. The clamp is connected to the mechanical arm of the lathe through the transition plate 3, and is connected to the driving connecting rod of the lathe through the connecting rod connecting plate 18. Then, the fourth wedge block 16 can be driven to move in the axial direction through the central connecting column 17. Since one end of the first wedge block 5 extending to the inside of the main body 1 cooperates with the inclined edge of the fourth wedge block 16, when the fourth wedge block 16 is pushed forward, the first wedge block 5 can be pushed to slide outward, thereby expanding the clamping claw seat 6. When the fourth wedge block 16 is pulled inward, the first wedge block 5 is driven to slide inward under the action of the telescopic spring, thereby contracting the clamping claw seat 6 to play a clamping role.

[0022] Among them, a pressure plate seat 9 is provided between two adjacent clamping claw seats 6 at the front edge of the main body 1, and four pressure plate seats 9 are provided. Pressure plates 8 are provided on both sides of the pressure plate seat 9. A second wedge block 10 is slidably installed on the inner side of the pressure plate seat 9. Both sides of the second wedge block 10 extend to the outside of the pressure plate seat 9, and the second wedge block 10 is located on both sides of the outside of the pressure plate seat 9 and is fixedly connected to the two pressure plates 8 respectively. A positioning spring is inserted at the bottom of the pressure plate seat 9 along the sliding direction of the second wedge block 10, one end of the positioning spring is fixedly connected to the second wedge block 10, and the other end of the positioning spring is fixedly connected to the pressure plate seat 9;

[0023] When clamping the cylindrical workpiece, the annular pressing plate 8 is pushed by the second wedge block 10 to position the cylindrical workpiece, ensuring that the cylindrical workpiece is located at the center of the clamping disk.

[0024] A baffle 4 is provided at the center of the front side of the main body 1 . When a cylindrical workpiece is clamped, the end of the cylindrical workpiece will contact the baffle 4 , and the baffle 4 will separate the cylindrical workpiece from the structure inside the main body 1 .

[0025] Among them, a damping shock absorber 19 is provided between the central connecting rod 17 and the fourth wedge block 16. When the central connecting rod 17 pushes the fourth wedge block 16 to move, the damping shock absorber 19 plays a buffering role to avoid rigid impact, prevent rigid clamping when the clamping jaw seat 6 clamps the cylindrical workpiece, and avoid damage to the clamping part of the cylindrical workpiece.

[0026] Among them, a nylon insert 7 for clamping is provided on the top of the clamping jaw seat 6. When the clamping jaw seat 6 clamps the cylindrical workpiece, the nylon insert 7 on the top of the clamping jaw seat 6 contacts the surface of the cylindrical workpiece to avoid causing indentations on the surface of the cylindrical workpiece.

[0027] Among them, third wedge blocks 11 are formed on both sides of the second wedge block 10, and the third wedge block 11 extends into the pressure plate 8. The pressure plate 8 is fixedly connected to the second wedge block 10 through the third wedge block 11. After the clamping jaw seat 6 clamps the cylindrical workpiece, the cylindrical workpiece will squeeze the pressure plate 8. Since the second wedge block 10 is slidably installed in the pressure plate seat 9, and there is a positioning spring between the pressure plate seat 9 and the second wedge block 10, the second wedge block 10 will be squeezed on the positioning spring. Through the elastic seat of the positioning spring, the second wedge block 10 is driven to drive the third wedge block 11 and the pressure plate 8 to react on the cylindrical workpiece. The annular pressure plate 8 is pushed by the second wedge block 10 to position the cylindrical workpiece to ensure that the cylindrical workpiece is located at the center of the clamping disk.

[0028] Among them, a second nylon chuck 13 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the pressing plate 8 through a pin 15, and a first nylon chuck 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the pressing plate 8. When clamping the cylindrical workpiece, the first nylon chuck 12 and the second nylon chuck 13 on the pressing plate 8 are in contact with the surface of the cylindrical workpiece to avoid causing indentations on the surface of the cylindrical workpiece.

[0029] A stopper 14 is provided at a position on the surface of the pressure plate 8 corresponding to the third wedge block 11 , and a buffer spring is provided between the stopper 14 and the third wedge block 11 , so as to support the third wedge block 11 through the buffer spring.

[0030] Working principle: When in use, it is connected to the driving connecting rod of the lathe through the connecting rod connecting plate 18, and then the fourth wedge block 16 can be driven to move in the axial direction through the central connecting column 17. Since the end of the first wedge block 5 extending to the inside of the main body cooperates with the inclined edge of the fourth wedge block 16, when the fourth wedge block 16 is pushed in, the first wedge block 5 can be pushed to slide outward, thereby opening the clamping claw seat 6. When the fourth wedge block 16 is pulled inward, the first wedge block 5 is driven to slide inward under the action of the telescopic spring, thereby contracting the clamping claw seat 6 to play a clamping role; when clamping the cylindrical workpiece, the annular pressure plate 8 is pushed by the second wedge block 10 to position the cylindrical workpiece to ensure that the cylindrical workpiece is located at the center of the clamping disk; through the cooperation of four groups of pressure plate seats 9 and four clamping claw seats 6, an eight-jaw clamp is formed, which can better realize the self-centering clamping of the cylindrical workpiece, and complete multi-point contact clamping, reduce clamping deformation, and improve production quality.

[0031] Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
