Detailed implementation manners

[0034] The following will further describe the present application in detail with reference to the attached Figures 1-3 drawings.

[0035] An embodiment of the present application discloses a positioning fixture. Referring to Figure 1 , the positioning fixture includes a workbench 1, a two-way main shaft clamp 2 arranged on the workbench 1, a positioning rod 3 movably arranged up and down on the workbench 1, and a first driving member 4 for driving the positioning rod 3 to move up and down. The positioning rods 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the two-way main shaft clamp 2. The positioning fixture further includes a second driving member 5 for driving the two positioning rods 3 to move in a direction close to or away from each other.

[0036] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in this embodiment, specifically, a positioning seat 8 is also movably arranged up and down on the workbench 1. The positioning seat 8 is arranged above the two-way main shaft clamp 2. The positioning rod 3 is slidably arranged below the positioning seat 8. The first driving member 4 can drive the positioning seat 8 to move up and down, in cooperation with the second driving member 5. When in use, first pass the connecting rod 101 through the two-way main shaft clamp 2, then drive the positioning seat 8 and the positioning rod 3 to move downward by the first driving member 4, and then drive the two positioning rods 3 to move closer to each other simultaneously by the second driving member 5. During this process, drive the connecting rod 101 to move and adjust left and right. When both positioning rods 3 abut against both ends of the connecting rod 101, the connecting rod 101 is moved and adjusted to a position centered with respect to the two-way main shaft clamp 2. At this time, the positioning rod 3 can be moved in one direction, and then move the positioning seat 8 upward, while the two-way main shaft clamp 2 clamps the connecting rod 101, thereby completing the positioning of the connecting rod 101.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in this embodiment, further, the cross-section of the positioning seat 8 can be rectangular. Two guiding blocks 81 are slidably arranged in the positioning seat 8. The guiding blocks 81 are preferably rectangular blocks. A guiding groove for the guiding blocks 81 to slide is formed in the positioning seat 8, and the guiding groove extends along the length direction of the positioning seat 8, so that the guiding blocks 81 can slide freely in the guiding groove. The upper ends of the two positioning rods 3 are respectively connected to the guiding blocks 81. The width of the guiding blocks 81 is greater than the width of the positioning rods 3. A slot for the positioning rods 3 to pass through and slide is formed in the lower surface of the positioning seat 8, so that the positioning rods 3 can move along with the movement of the guiding blocks 81.

[0038] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the second driving member 5 includes a bidirectional screw 51 rotatably arranged on the positioning seat 8, and a motor 52 for driving the bidirectional screw 51 to rotate. The bidirectional screw 51 is located in the sliding groove, and both ends of the bidirectional screw 51 can be rotatably connected to the positioning seat 8 by means of bearings or the like. The outer side wall of the bidirectional screw 51 has a forward thread and a reverse thread with opposite threads, and its threads pass through the two guiding blocks 81. The two guiding blocks 81 are respectively threadedly connected to the forward thread and the reverse thread. When the motor 52 drives the bidirectional screw 51 to rotate, since the two guiding blocks 81 are respectively connected to the forward thread and the reverse thread, the two guiding blocks 81 will move in opposite directions, so as to realize the mutual approach or separation of the two positioning rods 3.

[0039] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the second driving member 5 further includes a worm gear 53 and a worm 54. One end of the bidirectional screw 51 passes through the side wall of the positioning seat 8. The worm gear 53 is coaxially sleeved on the end of the bidirectional screw 51. The worm 54 is fixed to the side wall of the positioning seat 8 by means of a support or the like. The motor 52 is also fixed to the side wall of the positioning seat 8 by means of bolts or the like. The worm 54 meshes with the worm gear 53, and the output end of the motor 52 is connected to the worm 54. This structure can achieve more stable and accurate rotation control, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the positioning fixture

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the first driving member 4 is a cylinder 41 arranged on the workbench 1. The end of the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 41 is connected to the positioning seat 8, and is preferably connected to the central position of the positioning seat 8. Through the telescopic movement of the cylinder 41, the positioning seat 8 can be driven to move up and down, so as to realize the up and down adjustment of the positioning rod 3. Optionally, the end of the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 41 can be fixedly connected to the positioning seat 8, or a flange can be arranged at the end of the cylinder 41 and detachably connected to the positioning seat 8 by bolts.

[0041] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in an alternative embodiment, in order to further improve the stability and accuracy of the positioning fixture, a guide rod 11 is fixed on the workbench 1. The shape of the guide rod 11 is not limited. The lower end of the guide rod 11 slides downward through the positioning seat 8. The length direction of the guide rod 11 is parallel to the length direction of the telescopic shaft of the air cylinder 41 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the positioning seat 8 during the up and down movement. Multiple guide rods 11 can be provided. Preferably, the guide rods 11 can be respectively arranged around the positioning seat 8. Further, an anti-detachment block 12 is fixed at the lower end of the guide rod 11 to limit the positioning seat 8 from disengaging from the guide rod 11, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the positioning fixture.

[0042] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in an alternative embodiment, the positioning fixture further includes a pressure sensor 6. The pressure sensors 6 are respectively arranged on the side walls of the two positioning rods 3 facing the two-way main shaft clamp 2. At the same time, the pressure sensor 6 is connected to the second driving member 5, that is, the pressure sensor 6 is connected to the motor 52, for monitoring the pressure between the positioning rod 3 and the connecting rod 101 in real time and transmitting the pressure signal to the motor 52. Thus, when the two positioning rods 3 approach each other to clamp the connecting rod 101, the pressure value on the pressure sensor 6 reaches a certain value, which can be fed back to the motor 52, so that the motor 52 stops rotating and then starts to rotate in the reverse direction, driving the positioning rod 3 to disengage from the connecting rod 101. The pressure sensor 6 can be connected to the motor 52 through a signal wire or transmit the signal to the motor 52 through a wireless connection.

[0043] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , further, a buffer pad 7 can be arranged on the side wall of the lower end of the positioning rod 3 facing the two-way main shaft clamp 2. The buffer pad 7 can be made of an elastic material such as rubber to prevent the positioning rod 3 from damaging the connecting rod 101. The pressure sensor 6 is arranged between the buffer pad 7 and the positioning rod 3 to more accurately monitor the pressure between the positioning rod 3 and the connecting rod 101. At the same time, through the isolation of the buffer pad 7, the pressure sensor 6 can also be protected from damage.

[0044] The implementation principle of a positioning fixture according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows: During use, first pass the connecting rod 101 through the two-way main shaft clamp 2, then start the air cylinder 41, move the positioning seat 8 downward so that the positioning rods 3 are located on both sides of the connecting rod 101, and then drive the two-way screw 51 to rotate through the motor 52, thereby driving the two positioning rods 3 to move in the direction of approaching each other, driving the connecting rod 101 to move, and adjusting the two to a centrally symmetric state. At this time, after the pressure sensor 6 reaches the pressure threshold, the signal is transmitted to the motor 52, and then the positioning rod 3 can be slid in the reverse direction and the positioning seat 8 can be moved upward to complete the positioning of the connecting rod 101.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
