Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fixtures, and particularly relates to an insert-type soft jaw. Background Technique
[0002] A certain product is a rotary cavity type pressure vessel, which is butt-welded by thin-walled parts such as -01 end flange, -02 end flange, -03 transition ring and bellows. Since the entire cavity of the product is pressurized, it is required that all welds have sufficient strength and sealing performance. To ensure uniform weld formation, it is necessary to strictly control the radial misalignment between the parts to be welded. Therefore, it is necessary to perform matching turning on the inner and outer diameters of the parts before welding.
[0003] When turning cylindrical thin-walled parts, especially parts with high requirements for roundness and surface quality, it is not possible to directly use general-purpose jaws for clamping. Usually, soft jaws are required for clamping. Because the clamping surface of general-purpose jaws is small, it is easy to deform or damage the product. Compared with general-purpose jaws, the clamping surface of soft jaws is greatly increased, and its clamping diameter can be machined according to the size of the parts of the product to be processed, which can ensure good fitting with the product parts and effectively prevent deformation.
[0004] In the field of machining, especially in precision machining and automated production lines, there are extremely high requirements for the clamping accuracy and stability of workpieces. The traditional soft jaw structure often has problems such as insufficient clamping force and difficulty in ensuring clamping accuracy, and it is difficult to meet the needs of high-precision machining.
[0005] In view of the above problems, the utility model document proposes an insert-type soft jaw. Content of the Utility Model
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an insert-type soft jaw, which can be compatible with the clamping requirements of three different shaped product parts, saves tooling costs, is convenient for tooling installation and disassembly, has good use conditions, has good popularization value, and solves the existing technical problems.
[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:
[0008] An insert-type soft jaw, comprising:
[0009] A first soft jaw and a second soft jaw, both of which are provided with clamping arc surfaces;
[0010] Among them, the clamping arc surface of the first soft jaw is provided with a first clamping arc surface and a first reference arc surface, the first clamping arc surface and the first reference arc surface are arranged in a stepped manner, the arc surface of the first clamping arc surface is larger than the arc surface of the first reference arc surface, the first clamping arc surface is used for clamping, and the first reference arc surface is a machining and detection reference;
[0011] An insert block, the clamping arc surface of the second soft jaw is provided with a second clamping arc surface and a second reference arc surface. The clamping arc surface of the second soft jaw is larger than that of the first soft jaw. An avoidance groove communicating with the second clamping arc surface is formed inside the second soft jaw. The insert block is arranged in the avoidance groove, and two mounting screw holes for mounting the insert block are formed inside the second soft jaw.
[0012] Optionally, the insert block is T-shaped.
[0013] Optionally, the insert block includes a side stop block and a lower convex block. The side stop block is arranged inside the lower convex block, and the lower convex block and the side stop block form a clamping arc surface.
[0014] Optionally, the lower convex block matches the avoidance groove.
[0015] Optionally, two mounting holes are formed inside the lower convex block, and the two mounting holes respectively match the two mounting screw holes.
[0016] In this application, during use, when an insert block is installed inside the second soft jaw, it can be used for processing non-interfering parts. When no insert block is installed inside the second soft jaw and the avoidance groove is empty, it can be used for processing parts with lugs and interference. The clamping parts of the first soft jaw, the second soft jaw and the insert block all need to be processed to a diameter adapted to the product flange. To ensure accuracy, each soft jaw and the insert block need to be installed on the chuck for turning and machining the reference arc surface and the clamping arc surface. The first flange is the turned - 01 end flange product, the second flange is the turned - 02 end flange, and the transition ring is the - 03 transition ring. When turning the - 01 end flange product, install the first soft jaw and the second soft jaw on the chuck base jaws, and install the lug near the center of the - 01 end flange into the groove of the second soft jaw. After installation in place, turning and machining can be carried out. When turning the - 02 end flange and the - 03 transition ring, install the insert block into the groove of the second soft jaw, and after installing the - 02 end flange or the - 03 transition ring in place, turning and machining can be carried out.
[0017] In this utility model, by setting stepped clamping arc surfaces and reference arc surfaces on the first soft jaw and the second soft jaw, and adopting a replaceable insert block structure, high-precision clamping of the workpiece is achieved, effectively improving the machining accuracy;
[0018] In this utility model, the design of the insert block enhances the clamping force, and through the tight fit with the avoidance groove, it prevents the workpiece from slipping or shifting during the machining process, improving the stability of the machining process;
[0019] In this technical solution, a set of soft jaws meets the clamping requirements of three different-shaped product parts, saving the tooling cost. The tooling is convenient to install and disassemble, has a good usage condition, and has good promotion value.
[0020] Of course, it is not necessary for any product implementing the present utility model to simultaneously achieve all the above-mentioned advantages. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] The outer shape of the first soft jaw 1 is convenient for installation and positioning. Its clamping arc surface is provided with a first clamping arc surface 6 and a first reference arc surface 7, and the two are arranged in a stepped manner. The arc surface of the first clamping arc surface 6 is designed to be larger than the arc surface of the first reference arc surface 7, which is used to directly contact the workpiece to be clamped to achieve a stable clamping effect. The first reference arc surface 7 serves as a reference surface during the processing and inspection processes to ensure the clamping accuracy.
[0040] The clamping arc surface of the second soft jaw 2 is larger than that of the first soft jaw 1 to adapt to the clamping requirements of workpieces of different sizes. Its clamping arc surface is provided with a second clamping arc surface 9 and a second reference arc surface 8, which are used for further clamping adjustment or as a backup reference. A relief groove 3 is also opened inside the second soft jaw 2, and this groove cooperates with the subsequently installed block 5 to ensure that the block 5 can be stably installed and effectively participate in the clamping work. In addition, the second soft jaw 2 is also provided with mounting screw holes 4 for fixing the block 5 in the relief groove 3 through fasteners such as bolts.
[0041] The insert block 5 is designed in a T-shaped structure, specifically including a side stop block 51 and a lower convex block 52. The side stop block 51 is fixed inside the lower convex block 52, and the two together form a clamping arc surface to enhance the clamping force and prevent the workpiece from slipping off. The shape of the lower convex block 52 matches the avoidance groove 3 to ensure that the insert block can be accurately installed. To fix the insert block 5, two mounting holes 53 are also provided inside the lower convex block 52. Fasteners such as bolts pass through the mounting holes 53 and are screwed into the mounting screw holes 4 to achieve the stable installation of the insert block 5.
