However, the thimble still has the following problems: the thimble is relatively large and is only suitable for machining parts with fewer processes. During the machining process with more complex processes, the thimble requires a support seat to support its position, which will occupy a large amount of space, greatly affecting the movement range of other tools and causing secondary machining. Moreover, when the thimble contacts the workpiece, due to the uneven surface of the workpiece, during the forced rotation of the workpiece, it will cause extrusion between the thimble and the workpiece, resulting in damage to the surface of the workpiece. Therefore, the applicable range is limited. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above defects and provide a micro thimble.
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is achieved in the following way: a micro thimble includes a clamping mechanism and a shank. The clamping mechanism is installed at one end of the shank. A first installation groove extends inward from one end of the shank close to the clamping mechanism. It is characterized in that the clamping mechanism is successively composed of a chuck, a bearing, a sliding member and a spring from left to right. The chuck is buckled on the bearing, the bearing is installed on the sliding member, the spring is installed in the first installation groove, the sliding member is buckled on the first installation groove, and one end of the sliding member contacts the spring. An adjustment port communicating with the first installation groove is provided on the surface of the shank.
[0006] Further, one end of the chuck away from the bearing extends inwardly with a clamping groove for installing the center pin. The center pin is slidably installed on the clamping groove and is in clearance fit with the clamping groove.
[0007] Further, the surface of the chuck is provided with a threaded hole communicating with the clamping groove, and a tightening bolt is installed on the threaded hole.
[0008] Further, a through hole is provided in the middle of the bearing, and the through hole can be cooperated with the chuck through setting.
[0009] Further, one end of the chuck close to the bearing extends outwardly with a fastening portion cooperating with the through hole. The chuck can be fastened on the bearing through the fastening portion, and the chuck can be driven to rotate by the bearing.
[0010] Further, one end of the sliding member close to the bearing extends inwardly with a second installation groove.
[0011] Further, an adjustment hole corresponding to the adjustment port is provided on the sliding member, and a pin is installed on the adjustment hole. The sliding member can be controlled to slide back and forth within the range of the adjustment port through the pin.
[0012] The beneficial effects produced by the present utility model are as follows:
[0013] By providing a shank that can be installed on the tool holder, not only the use space is saved, but also it is convenient to use. Through the provided bearing and the movable sliding member, when the center pin contacts the workpiece, the chuck can rotate along the direction of the workpiece. And by setting a spring on the sliding member, when the surface of the workpiece is uneven during the rotation of the chuck, the chuck can avoid the phenomenon that the center pin and the workpiece are forced to rotate and damage the surface of the workpiece through the spring retraction. Therefore, the applicable range is relatively large. Description of the Drawings
