Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clamps, in particular to a clamp used in a four-axis machining center for a pipe joint. Background Art

[0002] Pipe fittings are parts that connect pipes in hydraulic systems or install pipes on hydraulic components. They are a general term for connectors that can be installed and removed in fluid passages. Commonly used materials are stainless steel and carbon steel with metric, American and British thread standards. They mainly include: welding type, ferrule type, crimping type and flaring type.

[0003] Due to the special shape of the elbow joint, when performing four-axis processing of the elbow joint, the elbow part is fixed by only a single fixing clamp. Since the fixation of the elbow and the single clamp requires the use of threaded rods and nuts, it is cumbersome to disassemble it after welding, which greatly affects the efficiency of the elbow joint processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a clamp for a four-axis machining center for pipe fittings, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and effectively solves the problem of fixing the bent pipe parts by a single fixed clamp in the prior art. Since the fixation of the bent pipe and the single clamp requires the use of threaded rods and nuts, the problem of cumbersome disassembly after welding is completed.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A clamp for a four-axis machining center for pipe fittings, comprising a base, a fixed plate connected to the top of the base, and a first bidirectional screw rod rotatably connected to both ends of the base, a clamping mechanism being screwed on both ends of the rod wall of the first bidirectional screw rod, and the clamping mechanism comprising a mounting shell, a movable block fixed to the bottom of the mounting shell, a second bidirectional screw rod rotatably connected to both ends of the mounting shell, and a clamping assembly being screwed on both ends of the rod wall of the second bidirectional screw rod, the clamping assembly comprising a T-block, a vertical rod fixed to the top of the T-block, a horizontal rod fixed to the outer wall of the vertical rod close to the fixed plate, and a stop rod fixed to the outer wall of the vertical rod facing the second bidirectional screw rod.

[0007] The pipe joint is placed on the top of the fixed plate, and the first servo motor drives the first bidirectional screw to rotate. The rotating first bidirectional screw drives the two screwed movable blocks to move along the length direction of the base, so that the two screwed clamping mechanisms are close to each other. At the same time, the second servo motor drives the second bidirectional screw to rotate. The rotating second bidirectional screw drives the two screwed clamping assemblies to be close to each other, so that the vertical rod and the horizontal rod in the clamping assembly clamp one side of the outer wall of the pipe joint, and the stop rod clamps the bottom of the outer wall of the pipe joint.

[0008] Preferably, an anti-slip sheet is bonded to the top of the fixing plate, and plug rods are fixed to both ends of the bottom of the fixing plate.

[0009] The friction force between the fixing plate and the pipe joint is increased by the anti-slip sheet.

[0010] Preferably, slots are provided on both sides of the top of the base, and the slots are adapted to the insertion rods.

[0011] The fixing plate can be easily disassembled, assembled and replaced by plugging the plug rod into the slot.

[0012] Preferably, a first servo motor is installed on the outer wall of one end of the base, and the output shaft of the first servo motor is connected and fixed to one end of the first bidirectional screw rod.

[0013] The first servo motor drives the first bidirectional screw rod to rotate, thereby driving the two threaded clamping mechanisms to move closer to or farther from each other.

[0014] Preferably, a screw hole matched with the first bidirectional screw rod is opened on one side of the movable block, and the movable block forms a sliding fit with the base.

[0015] The rotating first bidirectional screw drives the threaded movable block to move along the length direction of the base.

[0016] Preferably, a second servo motor is installed on an outer wall of one end of the mounting shell, and an output shaft of the second servo motor is connected and fixed to one end of a second bidirectional screw rod.

[0017] The second servo motor drives the second bidirectional screw to rotate, and the rotating second bidirectional screw drives the two screw-connected clamping components to move closer to or farther from each other.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0019] By placing the pipe joint on the top of the fixed plate, rotating the first bidirectional screw rod drives the two threaded clamping mechanisms closer to each other, and rotating the second bidirectional screw rod at the same time drives the two threaded clamping assemblies closer to each other, so that the vertical rod and the horizontal rod in the clamping assembly clamp one side of the outer wall of the pipe joint, and the blocking rod clamps the bottom of the outer wall of the pipe joint, which effectively solves the problem of fixing the bent pipe parts by a single fixed clamping plate in the prior art. Since the fixation of the bent pipe and the single clamping plate requires the use of threaded rods and nuts, the problem of cumbersome disassembly after welding is completed is solved.
