Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of three - jaw chucks, and particularly relates to a three - jaw chuck with adjustable jaws. Background Technique

[0002] The three - jaw chuck is a general fixture widely used in metal cutting machine tools such as lathes. Its main feature is to realize the automatic centering and clamping of workpieces through three jaws. The three - jaw chuck has been widely used in the field of machining due to its simple structure, convenient operation, and strong versatility. However, in applications with high - precision requirements, more advanced types of chucks may need to be considered to meet higher precision requirements.

[0003] Currently, the following areas for improvement still exist in the existing technology: The range of the clampable diameter of the three - jaw chuck is generally determined by the stroke of the jaw drive structure. The larger the range of change in the clampable diameter, the longer the stroke of the jaw drive structure, and the larger the volume of the three - jaw chuck. If a larger range of clampable diameter is required, a three - jaw chuck with a larger volume is needed, or movable jaws with different shapes need to be customized to achieve the change in the clampable diameter. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] To solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a three - jaw chuck with adjustable jaws, which can effectively enlarge the range of change in the clampable diameter of the chuck under limited space conditions by increasing the fixed positions of the jaws.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0013] Further, the positioning jaw and the jaw positioning block are fixedly connected by bolts, and the jaw positioning block and the guide block are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0014] Further, a texture is provided at the edge of the rotating plate, the texture is a wavy pattern, and a through hole is formed at the center position of the housing.

[0015] Further, the included angle between the three jaw positioning blocks is 120°.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0017] (1) By providing a rotating plate, a guide block, a threaded block and a moving tooth, the technical effect that can be achieved is that the base is detachably connected to the lower end of the rotating plate, the housing is rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating plate, a threaded block is fixedly provided at the upper end of the rotating plate, three sliding grooves are formed on the housing, a guide block is slidably provided in each sliding groove, a jaw positioning block is fixedly provided at the upper end of each guide block, and a positioning jaw is detachably provided at the upper end of each jaw positioning block.

[0033] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 , a three-jaw chuck with adjustable jaws disclosed in the present utility model includes a housing 1, a rotating plate 2 and a base 3. The base 3 is detachably connected to the lower end of the rotating plate 2, the housing 1 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating plate 2, and a threaded block 8 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the rotating plate 2.

[0034] Three sliding grooves are formed in the housing 1, a guiding block 4 is slidably arranged in each sliding groove, a jaw positioning block 5 is fixedly provided at the upper end of each guiding block 4, and a positioning jaw 6 is detachably provided at the upper end of each jaw positioning block 5.

[0035] Four positioning protrusions 7 are respectively fixedly provided on both sides of each jaw positioning block 5 close to the housing 1, a moving tooth 9 is fixedly provided at the lower end of each guiding block 4, and the three moving teeth 9 are engaged with the threaded block 8.

[0036] The rotating plate 2 and the threaded block 8 are integrated, and the guiding block 4 and the moving tooth 9 are integrated. The three guiding blocks 4 are all rotatably connected to the rotating plate 2. Every eight positioning protrusions 7 are evenly distributed on both sides of each jaw positioning block 5.

[0037] The threaded block 8 and the moving tooth 9 can effectively enlarge the variation range of the clamping diameter of the chuck by increasing the fixed positions of the jaws. In the case of limited space, it is not necessary to completely disassemble the whole for position adjustment, which is more convenient, and more positions can be adjusted, making the adjustment more accurate.

[0038] On the inner sides of both ends of the positioning jaw 6, a groove is respectively provided, and the groove fits with the positioning protrusion 7. The positioning jaw 6 and the jaw positioning block 5 are fixedly connected by bolts, and the jaw positioning block 5 and the guide block 4 are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0039] The position of the positioning jaw 6 can be adjusted through the positioning protrusion 7. The fit between the positioning protrusion 7 and the groove can limit the positioning jaw 6 to prevent the movement of the positioning jaw 6, avoiding removing the entire positioning jaw 6 to adjust the position, which saves more human and time resources.

[0040] The edge of the rotating plate 2 is provided with a texture, and the texture is a wavy pattern. A through hole is provided at the central position of the housing 1. The included angle between the three sliding grooves is 120°, and the included angle between the three jaw positioning blocks 5 is 120°.

[0041] The guide block 4 can slide in the sliding groove, and the positions of the three positioning jaws 6 are adjusted by means of threads. The force is more uniform, and the overall volume of the positioning jaw 6 is also smaller, saving manufacturing costs.

[0042] The stroke of the threaded block 8 is H1, the spacing of the positioning protrusions 7 is H2, and the unilateral quantity of the positioning protrusions 7 is n.

[0043] When the stroke H1 of the threaded block 8 ≥ the spacing H2 of the positioning protrusions 7, within a limited space and without changing the shape of the jaws, by adjusting the position of the positioning jaw 6 on the jaw positioning block 5, the continuously variable range of the clamping diameter of the three-jaw chuck can be extended from H1 to nH2.

[0044] If the stroke H1 of the equidistant thread < the spacing H2 of the positioning protrusions 7, the variable range of the clamping diameter of the three-jaw chuck is extended from H1 to nH1, but the clamping diameter is not continuous.

[0045] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model: When it is necessary to adjust the positioning jaw 6 of the three-jaw chuck, rotate the housing 1, the moving teeth 9 on the three guide blocks 4 rotate inward along the threaded block 8, driving the guide blocks 4 to move inward along the sliding grooves. The positioning jaw 6 can switch between different positions of the positioning protrusions 7 to adjust the position of the positioning jaw 6.

[0046] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model.
