Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of turning tooling, in particular to a turning tooling for machining the outer shape of thin-walled workpieces. Background Technique

[0002] At present, most CNC lathes use a three-jaw chuck as the clamping mechanism. When the bevel gear is rotated by a three-jaw chuck wrench, the flat compass is driven to rotate. The flat compass meshes with the movable jaws, so that the three movable jaws move towards the center at the same time, thus clamping the workpiece. However, several problems will occur in the actual machining process: (1) During the machining of some parts, due to the clamping position of the jaws, it may hinder the tool feed and affect the continuity of machining; (2) For some thin-walled parts, if the jaws are directly used for clamping, the parts themselves cannot withstand the clamping force and may be deformed, affecting the machining accuracy; (3) If machining is carried out when the parts are not clamped, the axial force applied by the tool may cause the parts to fly out; (4) When turning the outer shape of thin-walled parts, since the inside of the parts is hollow and the wall is thin, it is easy to be unable to withstand the turning force, resulting in damage to the parts or tool breakage, which is also harmful to the lathe itself.

[0003] In view of the above problems, a turning tooling for machining the outer shape of thin-walled workpieces disclosed in the Chinese patent with the publication number CN213496505U has the following technical key points: It includes a three-jaw chuck for clamping the clamping body and a clamping body for clamping the workpiece to be machined. Three jaws are movably arranged on the three-jaw chuck and the three jaws can clamp or release the clamping body. A positioning area is formed between the positioning ends on the three jaws. The fixed end of the clamping body is a cylindrical structure, and the fixed end is located in the fixed area. The clamping end of the clamping body is a conical structure. An internal thread is provided on the workpiece to be machined, and a locking external thread matching the internal thread is provided on the clamping end. The clamping body is threadedly connected to the workpiece to be machined.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Such as Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a turning tooling for machining the outer shape of thin-walled workpieces, including a four-jaw chuck 1, four jaws 2, a workpiece 3, a mounting groove 4 and a support mechanism. The four jaws 2 are all slidably mounted on the four-jaw chuck 1 and are distributed in a circular array. The workpiece 3 is located between the four jaws 2 and is in close contact with the four jaws 2. The four-jaw chuck 1 is provided with a mounting groove 4. The support mechanism is arranged in the mounting groove 4 and is used for supporting and strengthening the inner wall of the workpiece 3. The above-mentioned support mechanism includes a mounting tube 5, two sealing plates 6, a micro motor 7, a rotating shaft 8, a turntable 9, four wedge-shaped blocks 10, four ejector rods 11 and four connecting blocks 12. The mounting tube 5 is movably mounted in the mounting groove 4. The two sealing plates 6 are respectively fixedly mounted at the front and rear ends of the mounting tube 5. The left sealing plate 6 is used for supporting the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, and the right sealing plate 6 is used for mounting a fixing plate 15. The micro motor 7 is fixedly mounted in the mounting tube 5 and is used for driving the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. It should be noted that the micro motor 7 is a forward and reverse motor. The rotating shaft 8 is fixedly mounted at the output shaft end of the micro motor 7 and is used for driving the turntable 9 to rotate. The front end of the rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the corresponding sealing plate 6. The turntable 9 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 8. The four wedge-shaped blocks 10 are all fixedly mounted on the turntable 9 and are distributed in a circular array. The four ejector rods 11 are all slidably mounted on the mounting tube 5 and are distributed in a circular array. The four connecting blocks 12 are respectively fixedly mounted at one ends of the four ejector rods 11 close to each other. The four connecting blocks 12 are respectively in sliding contact with the corresponding wedge-shaped blocks 10. By using the common action of the four connecting blocks 12 and the corresponding wedge-shaped blocks 10, the four ejector rods 11 can be controlled to move away from each other to support and strengthen the inner wall of the workpiece 3. One ends of the four ejector rods 11 moving away from each other all extend outside the mounting tube 5 and are in close contact with the inner wall of the workpiece 3.

[0022] In this embodiment, the front end of the above-mentioned mounting tube 5 is flush with the front sides of the four jaws 2, which can avoid damage to the mounting tube 5 by the machining tool. A fixing block 15 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the rear sealing plate 6. The fixing block 15 is used to conveniently control the rotation of the connecting pipe 14, and thus facilitate the disassembly and installation of the mounting tube 5 of the installation box. Springs 13 are slidably mounted on the four ejector rods 11. One ends of the four springs 13 close to each other are respectively fixedly connected to the four connecting blocks 12. One ends of the four springs 13 away from each other are all fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting tube 5. The four springs 13 are used to push the four ejector rods 11 to rebound to the initial position when the fixation of the workpiece 3 is released, so as to avoid scratching the inner wall of the workpiece 3. Internal threads are provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove 4. A connecting pipe 14 is threadedly mounted in the mounting groove 4. The connecting pipe 14 is fixedly sleeved on the mounting tube 5.

[0023] In this embodiment, a control switch is installed on the console. The four-jaw chuck 1, the micro motor 7 and the control switch are electrically connected to an external power supply wire in sequence through wires to form a circuit. The control switch can respectively control the start and stop of the four-jaw chuck 1 and the micro motor 7.

[0024] With the above structure, a turning tooling for machining the outer shape of thin-walled workpieces provided by the utility model can support and reinforce the inner wall of the workpiece 3, avoid the deformation of the workpiece 3 due to force during machining, thereby improving the machining accuracy. By controlling the extension and contraction of the four ejector rods 11, various workpieces can be clamped and fixed, expanding the scope of application, reducing the production cost, and also facilitating the installation and disassembly of the installation pipe 5, thereby facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the internal components, prolonging the service life of the device, and further saving expenses. During specific use, the workpiece 3 to be machined is placed between the four jaws 2, the four-jaw chuck 1 is controlled to contract, and the four-jaw chuck 1 controls the four jaws 2 to clamp and fix the workpiece 3. Then, the micro-motor 7 is controlled to rotate forward, and the micro-motor 7 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, thereby driving the four wedge blocks 10 to rotate. By utilizing the combined action of the four connecting blocks 12 and the corresponding wedge blocks 10, the four ejector rods 11 can be controlled to move away from each other to support and reinforce the inner wall of the workpiece 3. At this time, the four springs 13 are compressed by the four connecting blocks 12, and then the machining tool is controlled to machine the workpiece 3. When the machining of the workpiece 3 is completed, the micro-motor 7 is controlled to rotate in reverse, so that the four wedge blocks 10 move away from the four ejector rods. Under the push of the four springs 13, the four ejector rods 11 return to the initial position, avoiding scratching the inner wall of the workpiece 3 at the ends where the four ejector rods 11 move away from each other. By controlling the approach and separation of the four ejector rods 11, the size range of the workpiece 3 to be machined is expanded, avoiding the purchase of multiple pieces of equipment and reducing the production cost.

[0025] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope recorded in the utility model can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered by the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be subject to the protection scope of the claimed rights.
