[0026] It should be noted that the diagrams provided in the following embodiments only illustrate the basic concept of the present application in a schematic manner. The diagrams only show the components related to the present application rather than being drawn according to the number, shape, and size of the components in actual implementation. The type, quantity, and proportion of each component in actual implementation can be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout type may also be more complex.

[0027] The following further illustrates the specific implementation manners of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Embodiment:

[0029] An embodiment of the present application discloses an external circle fixture applicable to the machining of workpieces with external circular tooth surfaces. In the machining of workpieces with external circular tooth surfaces, it is necessary to clamp a circular workpiece to be machined, and the clamping force should be able to offset vibration. Therefore, the solution of the present application refers to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown, and includes a chuck sleeve 1, a chuck body 2, and a driving assembly.

[0030] The collet sleeve 1 is sleeved on the collet body. The convex ring 11 of the collet sleeve 1 is used for fixed connection to remain stationary, and it is generally fixed to the external machine tool by bolts. The inner side surface of the collet sleeve 1 is a conical surface 21 that flares outwards towards the outer end. Similarly, the outer peripheral surface of the collet body 2 is also the conical surface 21. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface of the collet body 2 fits and matches the conical surface 21. The driving assembly is connected to the rear end of the collet body 2 to drive the collet body 2 and the collet sleeve 1 to slide. The collet body 2 has a hollow cavity 22, a large end face 23, and a small end face 24. A first type of special-shaped slit 25 and a second type of special-shaped slit 26 are distributed circumferentially on the collet body 2. The first type of special-shaped slit 25 starts from the large end face 23 and terminates near the small end face 24, and the second type of special-shaped slit 26 starts from the small end face 24 and terminates near the large end face 23. The first type of special-shaped slit 25 and the second type of special-shaped slit 26 are spaced apart and equally divide the circumference.

[0031] As can be seen from the above structure: Under the action of the driving assembly, the collet body 2 and the collet sleeve 1 slide. The collet sleeve 1 and the collet body 2 are guided by the conical surface 21, and the circumferential force is very uniform. It can achieve the reduction of the caliber of the collet body 2 and can clamp the circular workpiece. Due to the presence of the first type of special-shaped slit 25 and the second type of special-shaped slit 26, the clamping of the workpiece is very stable and reliable, the circumferential force of the workpiece is uniform, the clamping position deviation can be avoided, and automatic centering can be achieved. Under the action of the first type of special-shaped slit 25 and the second type of special-shaped slit 26, it can be found that it has a shock-absorbing effect. Therefore, after clamping the workpiece, the workpiece can still remain stable during operations such as machining and turning.

[0032] Specifically, the first type of special-shaped slit 25 includes a straight portion 251, a large circle portion 252, a broken line portion 253, and a small circle portion 254 that are connected in sequence. The second type of special-shaped slit 26 includes a straight portion 251, a broken line portion 253, and a small circle portion 254 that are connected in sequence.

[0033] Thus, it can be seen that through the straight portion 251, the large circle portion 252, the broken line portion 253, and the small circle portion 254, the stress conduction can be changed, the uniform contraction of the collet body 2 can be realized, and at the same time, the purpose of shock absorption can be achieved, avoiding the influence of vibration during processing on the machining accuracy. Therefore, this structure has obvious effects when applied to high-precision machining.

[0034] During the processing, since the gap of the slit is difficult to control, the large circular portion 252 is filled with an elastomer 3. The elastomer 3 is a nylon plastic cylinder, which is filled in the large circular portion 252, so that when the chuck body 2 contracts and clamps, the elastic force of the nylon plastic cylinder is overcome, so that it is compressed and slightly deformed. For high-precision control, the deformation here only needs a few strands, and one strand is equal to 0.01 mm. Therefore, the contraction and deformation of the chuck body 2 can be controlled with high precision through this nylon plastic cylinder. The elastomer 3 is used to prevent the slit from sticking and being unable to be reset, and the spacing of the slits (a type of special-shaped slits 25) can be effectively maintained.

[0035] Specifically, the driving assembly includes a positioning seat 4, a tube-drawing connector 5, a cover plate 6, a tube-drawing connection sleeve 7, and a tube-drawing body 8. A clamping arm 51 is provided at one end of the tube-drawing connector 5, and the clamping arm 51 is clamped and fixed in the chuck body 2. The positioning seat 4 is fixed in the chuck sleeve 1 and is located at the rear end of the chuck body 2. A positioning groove 41 is provided on the positioning seat 4. The tube-drawing connector 5 is limited and movable in the positioning groove 41. The cover plate 6 can be fixed to the end of the positioning seat 4 by bolts and close the opening of the positioning groove 41. The tube-drawing connection sleeve 7 is fixed to the tail of the tube-drawing connector 5, and the tube-drawing body 8 is fixed to the end of the tube-drawing connection sleeve 7.

[0036] The driving assembly can pull the chuck body 2 and also provide a travel limit for the telescopic activity. According to the above structure, it can be seen that the components are easy to assemble.

[0037] Preferably, the end surface of the cover plate 6 is fixedly connected with a positioning threaded rod 9, which is hollow and connected with an air blowing pipe 10, which runs through the tube drawing connector 5 and the tube drawing body 8. The air blowing pipe 10 is used to spray a mixture of air and coolant, and also provides a spray mixture, spraying and cooling from the inside during the processing, flushing the surface of the workpiece, and removing debris, while also preventing debris from clogging the slit of the chuck body 2, so that the overall service life is greatly improved and the frequency of maintenance is reduced.

[0038] An internal thread structure is provided inside the pull tube body 8. The internal thread structure can be matched with a screw rod to achieve the forward and backward stretching action of the pull tube body 8.

[0039] refer to Figure 4, the number of clamping arms 51 of the pipe jacking connector 5 is equal to the number of the second type of special-shaped slits 26, and each clamping arm 51 is clamped between two second type of special-shaped slits 26. In a specific example, the number of clamping arms 51 is four, the number of the second type of special-shaped slits 26 is four, the number of the first type of special-shaped slits 25 is also four, and the machined external cylindrical gear surface workpiece is an eight-tooth external cylindrical gear surface workpiece. The outstanding effect is that during machining and clamping, rapid and accurate positioning can be achieved, the assembly is firm and stable, the force is balanced, especially the force on the circumferential surface is balanced, which is very important. Therefore, stable machining can be carried out. During the machining process, vibration can be resisted, position deviation can be reduced, and machining can be more accurate.

[0040] The above embodiments only illustratively explain the principles and effects of the present application, rather than limiting the present application. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application shall be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
