[0045] Example

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, the present embodiment provides a clamping tool, including a bracket 1, a clamping assembly 2 and a driving member 13. The bracket 1 includes a first side surface 11 and a second side surface 12 that are arranged opposite to each other, and a first through hole 111 and a second through hole 112 are arranged on the first side surface 11, and the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 112 pass through the bracket 1 and intersect at the second side surface 12, that is, the first through hole 111 is connected with the second through hole 112 and an opening is formed on the second side surface 12, and the axis of the first through hole 111 and the axis of the second through hole 112 are arranged at an angle. The clamping assembly 2 includes a tilting rod 21, a pull rod 22 and a spring chuck 23. The middle axis of the tilting rod 21 is hingedly arranged in the first through hole 111, and the pull rod 22 is arranged in the second through hole 112, that is, the tilting rod 21 and the pull rod 22 are also arranged at an angle. The first through hole 111 can be a long strip through hole, so that the tilting rod 21 can swing in the first through hole 111, and one end of the pull rod 22 is hingedly arranged with one end of the tilting rod 21. When the tilting rod 21 swings, it drives the pull rod 22 to move along the spring chuck 23, so that the pull rod 22 pushes the expansion chuck 233 radially open through the protrusion 223 to expand or contract. The tubular workpiece 4 can be clamped by expansion, and on the contrary, it is released by contraction, and the tubular workpiece can be removed.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fixed end 231 of the spring clamp 23 is disposed in the second through hole 112 , and an expansion clamp 233 is disposed at the other end. A limiting portion 234 abutting against the bracket 1 is disposed between the fixed end 231 and the expansion clamp 233 .

[0048] Specifically, the expansion chuck 233 is a plurality of expansion teeth spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and the expansion teeth are elastic sheets with good elastic properties, which can be radially lifted and reset by the protrusion 223. When the expansion chuck 233 is in the retracted state, the diameter of the expansion joint 233 matches the inner hole clearance of the tubular workpiece 4, and can be inserted into the inner hole of the tubular workpiece 4. Under the action of force, the expansion chuck 233 can be expanded to increase its diameter, so as to clamp on the inner wall of the inner hole of the tubular workpiece 4, thereby clamping the tubular workpiece 4.

[0049] In this embodiment, the spring chuck 23 is also provided with a core hole 232 with two ends connected, and the pull rod 22 is sleeved in the core hole 232 and slidably cooperates with the core hole 232, and is fixed on the bracket 1 due to the limit portion 234. At the same time, the other end of the pull rod 22 is provided with a protrusion 223, and the protrusion 223 is a structure protruding along the radial direction of the pull rod 22, and the diameter of the protrusion 223 is greater than the diameter of the core hole 232.

[0050] During operation, when the protrusion 223 is located at the maximum diameter of the expansion chuck 233, the expansion chuck 233 is in a retracted state, and when the lifting rod 21 drives the pull rod 22 to move along the inside of the core hole 232, the expansion chuck 233 will be radially pushed open, so that the head diameter of the expansion chuck 233 opens like an umbrella, thereby clamping the inner hole of the tubular workpiece 4; otherwise, it is loosened and the tubular workpiece 4 can be removed from the expansion chuck 233.

[0051] The driving member 13 is arranged on the bracket 1, and the output end of the driving member 13 is arranged on the other end of the tilting rod 21, driving the tilting rod 21 to swing in a seesaw manner around the hinge axis in the first through hole 111. When the driving member 13 lifts one end of the tilting rod 21, the tilting rod 21 swings around the hinge axis in the first through hole 111, and the other end of the tilting rod 21 hinged to the pull rod 22 is pressed down, thereby driving the pull rod 22 to move downward.

[0052] Specifically, the driving member 13 may be a cylinder, which drives the tilting rod 21 to rotate around the hinge axis, and then drives the pull rod 22 to move along the spring clamp 23 and the second through hole 112. At this time, the protrusion 223 on the head of the pull rod 22 will be pulled into the expansion clamp 233. Since the diameter of the protrusion 223 is larger than the diameter of the core hole 232 of the spring clamp 233 (also the diameter of the expansion clamp 233), the expansion clamp 233 is radially expanded; if it moves in the opposite direction, the expansion clamp 233 is retracted.

[0053] In this way, if a tubular workpiece 4 with an inner hole is to be clamped, it can be achieved that: in the retracted state, the expansion chuck 233 is extended into the inner hole of the tubular workpiece 4, and then the pull rod 22 is pulled by the cylinder to expand the expansion chuck 233 to clamp the inner hole of the tubular workpiece 4; conversely, it is retracted and released, and the tubular workpiece 4 can be removed from the expansion chuck 233, achieving a fast and stable clamping effect.

[0054] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of spacing holes 2331 are arranged in a circumferential array on the expansion chuck 233, and the spacing holes 2331 extend from one end of the expansion chuck 233 to the other end of the expansion chuck 233. The arrangement of the spacing holes 2331 enables the expansion chuck 233 to form an alternating design of expansion teeth and spacing holes 2331.

[0055] Specifically, the structural design of the multiple spacing holes 2331 can make the expansion chuck 233 have good elastic properties, and the spacing holes 2331 are arranged in a circular array, so that the expansion chuck 233 can be evenly stretched in all directions, and the clamping points falling on the inner wall of the inner hole of the tubular workpiece 4 are evenly distributed, achieving the effect of automatic centering and improving the stability of clamping.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a circular hole 23311 is provided at one end of the spacing hole 2331 near the limiting portion 234. The design of the circular hole 23311 makes the root of the expansion tooth of the expansion chuck 233 thinner (that is, it is convenient for the expansion tooth to bend), and it is convenient for the protrusion 223 to radially push and reset the head of the expansion chuck 233, which has good practicality.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the axis of the second through hole 112 forms an angle of 0° to 90° with the horizontal plane.

[0058] Specifically, the axis of the second through hole 112 can form an angle of 45° with the horizontal plane. When the driving member 13 drives one end of the lifting rod 21 to lift or press down, the lifting rod 21 can more easily drive the pull rod 22 to move downward or upward along the core hole 232, and make the axis of the spring clamp 23 also form an angle of 45° with the horizontal plane, so that the tubular workpiece 4 can be picked up in an oblique insertion manner, the operation is more convenient, and the positioning of the tubular workpiece 4 is more accurate.

[0059] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing protrusions 2332 are provided on the expansion chuck 233, and the reinforcing protrusions 2332 are located between two adjacent spacing holes 2331. Since a plurality of spacing holes 2331 are provided on the expansion chuck 233, the structural strength of the expansion chuck 233 can be enhanced by providing reinforcing protrusions 2332 between two adjacent spacing holes 2331. At the same time, when picking up the tubular workpiece 4, the bottom edge of the tubular workpiece 4 can be abutted against the reinforcing protrusions 2332 to position the tubular workpiece 4, avoid the tubular workpiece 4 from deflecting, and further ensure the accuracy and stability of clamping.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the core hole 232 includes a first core hole 2321 and a second core hole 2322 that are connected to each other. The diameter of the first core hole 2321 gradually increases toward one end of the expansion chuck 233, and the diameter of the second core hole 2322 is matched with the diameter clearance of the pull rod 22; the diameter of the protrusion 223 is smaller than the maximum diameter of the first core hole 2321, and the diameter of the protrusion 223 is larger than the diameter of the second core hole 2322.

[0061] Specifically, when the expansion chuck 233 is in a retracted state, the protrusion 223 of the pull rod 22 is located at the maximum diameter of the first core hole 2321, and when the pull rod 22 moves downward along the core hole 232, the design of the first core hole 2321 facilitates guiding the protrusion 223 of the pull rod 22 into the first core hole 2321 and the second core hole 2322, and allows the expansion chuck 233 to be radially expanded by the protrusion 223, thereby clamping on the inner wall of the inner hole of the tubular workpiece 4.

[0062] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the side wall of the protrusion 223 is provided with a first arc surface 2231, and the side wall of the first core hole 2321 is provided with a second arc surface 23211 adapted to the first arc surface 2231. The first arc surface 2231 and the second arc surface 23211 are concentric arc surface designs, and the second arc surface 23211 is slightly larger than the first arc surface 2231, so that the protrusion 223 is convenient to move along the first core hole 2321 and enter the second core hole 2322 to open the expansion chuck 233.

[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, an adapter 222 is provided at one end of the pull rod 22, and the adapter 222 is hinged to the axis of the tilting rod 21. The adapter 222 is provided to strengthen the firmness of the hinge between the pull rod 22 and the tilting rod 21, and the diameter of the adapter 222 is larger than the diameter of the pull rod 22, which makes it easier for the tilting rod 21 to drive the pull rod 22 to move.

[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment also includes a connection part 3 for mounting the clamping tool on the manipulator, the connection part 3 includes a first flange 31 and a second flange 32, the second flange 32 is sleeved outside the first flange 31, the middle of the first flange 31 is provided with an inwardly recessed clamping groove 311, one end of the bracket 1 can be bolted or welded vertically on the clamping groove 311 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the connection. The first flange 31 is provided with a plurality of connection holes 312 for mounting on the manipulator by bolting, and the second flange 32 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 321 for connecting with the output end of the manipulator. The manipulator delivers the tubular workpiece 4 to the grinding station, and realizes the grinding and polishing of the tubular workpiece 4 through operations such as swinging and rotating.

[0065] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving member 13 is a cylinder, and the output end of the driving member 13 is the rod end of the cylinder. The rod end of the cylinder is hinged to the strip hole 211 at the other end of the lifting rod 21 through a pin to lift or pull down one end of the lifting rod 21.

[0066] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
