Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bearing equipment, and particularly relates to a supporting fixture with a simple structure, convenient adjustment and high positioning accuracy. Background Art

[0002] The current common pivot points used in CNC grinding machines are characterized in that the pivot points are connected by a support body and the pivot points are fixed and immovable. There are three structural forms of the pivot points: bakelite, nylon and rolling elements. As we all know, if bakelite and nylon pivot points are used, a Marposs gauge needs to be used when used on ordinary CNC equipment, otherwise the dimensional accuracy cannot be guaranteed, because bakelite and nylon pivot points are easily worn. When the pivot points are worn, good supportability cannot be guaranteed, so the dimensional accuracy will be lost. The rolling element pivot points are easy to scratch the inner raceway or outer diameter of the bearing product, and the contact area during support is small, which does not conform to the arc of the support surface, and it is very easy to produce defective products during grinding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited in any way. Any changes or improvements made based on the teachings of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] As shown in the figure, the utility model includes a front support 1, a rear support 2, a sliding assembly 3 and a base 4; the base 4 is an arc-shaped seat; a rear linear slideway 5 and a front linear slideway 6 along the diameter of the workpiece are arranged on the base 4; the front support 1 is slidably connected to the front linear slideway 6 through a sliding assembly 3; the rear support 2 is slidably connected to the rear linear slideway 5 through a sliding assembly 3.

[0022] Further, the sliding assembly 3 includes a bolt 7, a nut 8 and a slider 9; connecting parts are arranged on the front support 1 and the rear support 2; the sliders 9 are respectively placed in the front linear slideway 6 and the rear linear slideway 5; one end of the bolt 7 passes through the connecting part and is threadedly connected to the slider 9; the other end of the bolt 7 is matched with the nut 8.

[0023] Further, the rear support 2 includes a rear support body 10, a rear support seat 11 and a support head 12; one end of the rear support seat 11 is hinged to the rear support body 10; the other end of the rear support seat 11 is hinged to two support heads 12; the rear support seat 11 is of a "U" - shaped structure.

[0024] Further, the connecting part of the rear support 2 is a transverse keyway 13; the transverse keyway 13 is arranged on the rear support body 10; the transverse keyway 13 is perpendicular to the rear linear slideway 5.

[0025] It should be noted that in the prior art, the fulcrum moves back and forth in the diameter direction of the workpiece and cannot move up and down along the diameter arc direction. However, in this technical solution, two transverse keyways are arranged on the support body, enabling the fulcrum to move up and down along the diameter arc direction of the workpiece. In this way, it is convenient for us to finely adjust the included angle of the fulcrum, and can better improve the roundness and ellipticity of the product.

[0026] Further, there is at least one transverse keyway 13.

[0027] Further, there are at least two support heads 12 on the rear support 2.

[0028] Further, the front support 1 includes a front support body 14 and a support head 12; the front support body 14 is hinged to a support head 12; the connecting part of the front support 1 is a through - hole 15; the through - hole 15 is arranged on the front support body 14; the position of the through - hole 15 corresponds to the position of the front linear slideway 6.

[0029] It should be noted that the fulcrum of the rear support is four, and the fulcrum of the front support is two. All are composed of floating points connected by the support body, which can better filter out the fluctuations during the rotation of the workpiece.

[0030] Further, there is at least one through - hole 15.

[0031] It should be noted that the fulcrum is made of alloy material, and the contact surface is much larger than that of the rolling element, so as to ensure the stability of the contact surface. The curvature of the contact surface is cut according to the groove or outer diameter size of different products, and then ground with abrasive paste. After grinding, the curvature of the fulcrum is completely consistent with the curvature of the workpiece, so that the surface of the workpiece will not be scratched (especially for CNC grinders with material channels and robot loading and unloading).

[0032] Those skilled in the art will readily come up with other embodiments of the present invention after considering the specification and practicing the utility model disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention, which follow the general principles of the present invention and include common knowledge or customary technical means in the art that are not disclosed in the present invention. The specification and examples are to be considered as exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of the present invention are indicated by the following claims.

[0033] It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of the present invention is limited only by the appended claims.
