It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0033] Please also read Figures 1 to 7 Now, a tip structure provided by the utility model is described. The tip structure includes a tool holder 1, a tip 2, an elastic deformation member 3, a fixing member 4 and a limiting assembly 6. The tool holder 1 is provided with a mounting hole 11; the elastic deformation member 3 is arranged in the mounting hole 11, and a part of the tip 2 extends into the mounting hole 11. The tip 2 contacts the elastic deformation member 3, and the end of the tip 2 away from the tool holder 1 is a positioning end for positioning an external structure; the limiting assembly 6 is connected to the tip 2 to constrain the tip 2 to move relative to the tool holder 1 along a specific path; the fixing member 4 is used to pass through the tip 2 and the elastic deformation member 3 and connect to the tool holder 1. The tip 2 is in the shape of an umbrella.

[0034] When this center structure is in use, first install the tool holder 1 on the machine tool turret, then place the elastic deformation member 3 in the installation hole 11, then insert a part of the structure of the center 2 into the installation hole 11, connect the center 2 with the limit component 6, and then use the fixing member 4 to fix the connection state of the center 2, the elastic deformation member 3 and the tool holder 1.

[0035] The external structure (such as a cylinder barrel) contacts the positioning end of the center 2, and the external structure is tightened through the cooperation of the elastic deformation member 3, the center 2 and the tool holder 1.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the center structure provided by the present utility model saves a large number of parts such as a huge tailstock, an oil-free bushing, and a spacer sleeve under light load conditions, reducing costs. Through the cooperation of the elastic deformation member 3, the center 2 and the tool holder 1, the function of automatic elastic tightening can be realized. The setting of the umbrella-shaped center structure broadens the range of inner holes of applicable products, thereby improving the applicable range of this center structure. The operation efficiency is effectively improved. This structure also has the characteristics of stable and reliable working process and small occupied space.

[0037] As a specific implementation manner of an embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 together. The center 2 includes an abutting portion 23 and an extending portion 24. The extending portion 24 is a cylindrical structure. The shape of the abutting portion 23 is an umbrella surface shape, and the center position of the abutting portion 23 is connected to one end of the extending portion 24. The end surface of the abutting portion 23 facing away from the extending portion 24 (i.e., the positioning end) is a plane. The outer side surface of the abutting portion 23 is used to abut against the inner hole of the cylinder barrel. A second receiving groove 22 for receiving a part of the structure of the fixing member 4 is provided on the end surface of the positioning end. A first receiving groove 21 is provided at one end of the extending portion 24 facing away from the abutting portion 23 (i.e., the end where the center 2 extends into the installation hole 11). The first receiving groove 21 is adapted to the elastic deformation member 3. The second receiving groove 22 and the first receiving groove 21 are communicated through a communication hole.

[0038] Specifically, the center 2 is made of 42CrMo material, which has good heat treatment performance, high hardness, wear resistance and impact resistance. The front of the center 2 is conical, which plays a role in positioning the cylinder barrel workpiece. The maximum diameter of the cone is 230 mm, and the minimum diameter is 96 mm.

[0039] As a specific implementation manner of an embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 together. The limit component 6 is a positioning column connected to the center 2; a key groove 12 adapted to the positioning column is provided on the wall surface of the installation hole 11. The positioning column can slide reciprocally along the key groove 12.

[0040] In this embodiment, the limit component 6 is detachably connected to the outer wall surface of the extending portion 24 through one or more of structures such as a threaded structure and a card slot structure.

[0041] In this embodiment, the shape of the limiting component 6 is not unique and can be one or more of structures such as a positioning post, a positioning block, etc., as long as it can cooperate with the keyway 12 to limit the moving path of the center point 2.

[0042] As a specific implementation manner of the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 simultaneously. The tool holder 1 includes a mounting body 13 and a connecting body 14 fixedly connected to the mounting body 13. One end of the mounting body 13 is provided with a mounting hole 11, and the middle position at the other end of the mounting body 13 is fixedly connected with the connecting body 14.

[0043] In this embodiment, the mounting body 13 is a cylinder; the connecting body 14 is a cylinder. The axis of the mounting body 13 coincides with the axis of the connecting body 14.

[0044] In this embodiment, an anti-rotation structure 15 is provided on the outer side surface of the connecting body 14. The anti-rotation structure 15 can be a milled flat structure.

[0045] Specifically, the tool holder 1 is inserted into the tool disc in a cylindrical shape similar to the principle of a cylindrical pin, and there is a flat shape (i.e., the anti-rotation structure 15) on the cylinder to play an anti-rotation role. A cylindrical hole (i.e., the mounting hole 11) is machined above the tool holder 1, and the center point 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 11.

[0046] As a specific implementation manner of the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 simultaneously. The elastic deformation member 3 is a spring structure. More specifically, the elastic deformation member 3 is a rectangular spring.

[0047] As a specific implementation manner of the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 simultaneously. The center point structure further includes an elastic deformation member fixing member 5. When the elastic deformation member fixing member 5 is connected to the tool holder 1, a part of the structure of the elastic deformation member fixing member 5 extends into the mounting hole 11 to limit the elastic deformation member 3. The elastic deformation member fixing member 5 is a screw structure, and the screw structure is connected to the mounting body 13 through a threaded structure. The screw structure can extend into the mounting hole 11 and realize the limiting and fixing of the elastic deformation member 3 by being inserted into the elastic deformation member 3 or the gap of the elastic deformation member 3 (which is a spring structure).

[0048] As a specific implementation manner of the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 simultaneously. The center point structure further includes an elastic force adjusting member 7 for being arranged in the first accommodating groove 21 and having one end in contact with the elastic deformation member 3. The elastic force adjusting member 7 is used to adjust the acting force magnitude of the elastic deformation member 3.

[0049] In this embodiment, the elastic adjustment member 7 is a structure of an elastic gasket. The acting force of the elastic deformation member 3 can be adjusted by changing the number of gaskets used.

[0050] As a specific implementation manner of the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the structure of the fixing member 4 is not unique, and the structure of the fixing member 4 can be one or more of structures such as bolts and screws.

[0051] In this embodiment, the fixing member 4 is a screw structure, and the screw structure passes through the positioning end of the top 2 and passes through the bottom of the mounting hole 11 to be detachably connected to the tool holder 1. More specifically, the screw structure sequentially passes through the second receiving groove 22, the communication hole, the first receiving groove 21 and is threadedly connected to the tool holder 1.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the elastic deformation member fixing member 5 fixes the elastic deformation member 3, it can be simultaneously clamped with the screw structure, and thus the fixing member 4 is simultaneously limited, improving the firmness of the connection relationship between the fixing member 4 and the tool holder 1.

[0053] During use, the top 2 can reciprocate axially relative to the tool holder 1 along the mounting hole 11. During this process, the tail end of the screw structure also reciprocates along the axis direction of the second receiving groove 22.

[0054] As a specific implementation manner of the embodiment of the present utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the fixing member 4 contacts the second receiving groove 21 through a buffer member. The setting of the buffer member reduces the wear of the fixing member 4 during use and improves the service life of this top structure.

[0055] Specifically, the fixing member 4 is an internal hexagonal socket head shoulder bolt, and the internal hexagonal socket head shoulder bolt fixes the top 2 on the tool holder 1. The rectangular spring is sleeved on the internal hexagonal socket head shoulder bolt, and the cylinder workpiece is tightened by the spring force.

[0056] The fixing member 4 can perform angular positioning on the top 2. When a larger cylinder workpiece needs to be positioned, it is necessary to remake the top 2 and increase the maximum diameter of the top 2, which may interfere with the tools at other positions on the tool disc. It is necessary to cut off a part of the cone of the top 2. At this time, it is necessary to tighten the fixing member 4 to perform angular positioning on the top 2.

[0057] The usage process of a center structure provided by the present utility model is as follows: according to the processing technology, the center structure is installed on the tool rest of the machine tool; the required tools are also installed at other tool positions. The manipulator grabs the workpiece and places it at the clamping position of the machine tool. The tool rest is controlled to move through the numerical control program, so as to control the center structure to press the inner hole of the workpiece, and the elastic deformation member 3 inside the center structure balances the length error between different cylinders, ensuring that each workpiece can be pressed tightly and the machine tool will not be overloaded due to excessive pressing. After the workpiece is pressed tightly, fixtures such as the steady rest and hydraulic chuck of the machine tool are clamped in sequence. The robot gripper is released, and the center structure is withdrawn. At this time, the feeding action of the robot is completed. After receiving the signal that the feeding is completed, the machine tool automatically starts the processing program and executes the processing action.

[0058] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
