Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model specifically relates to the technical field of profile clamps, in particular to a special clamp for profiles used in a machining center. Background Art

[0002] The machining center is a CNC machine tool with comprehensive functions. Workers need to program the program in advance according to the drawings. Then, after the CNC system receives the program instructions, it will control the rotation of the spindle, the feed of the tool, and the action of the automatic tool changer according to the data in the program.

[0003] A fixture for fixing the workpiece is installed on the processing platform of the machining center. The special fixture for profiles is a tool specially used to fix and position profiles for processing, assembly or testing, and uses extrusion force to fix the profiles.

[0004] However, in practice, people have noticed that special clamps can only clamp materials of a single shape. When changing the profile, the clamp needs to be replaced together, which takes a long time to replace the clamp. Only after the clamp is replaced can the workpiece be clamped, resulting in low processing efficiency. In addition, profiles of different materials require different clamping forces. If the clamping force is too small, it is easy to affect the fixing effect. If the clamping force is too large, it is easy to cause deformation of the profile and affect the processing quality. Therefore, it also takes a long time to adjust the clamping force, which further affects the processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

One end of each hinge assembly is movably connected to the groove sliding seat, and the other end is movably connected to the bottom of the C-shaped clamping bracket.

[0011] As a further technical solution of the present utility model, the hinge assembly includes a slider slidably connected to the groove sliding seat, and the slider is threadedly connected to both ends of the compound threaded rod;

[0012] Symmetric fixed ear plates are integrally arranged on the slider. A hinge plate is movably connected between the two fixed ear plates, and one end of the hinge plate away from the fixed ear plate is movably connected to the bottom of the C-shaped clamping bracket.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0027] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , the embodiments of the present invention provide a special fixture for profiles used in a machining center, including a machining center. The machining center includes a workbench 2. Above the workbench 2, there is a cutting mechanism. At the end of the workbench 2, there is a cutting drive mechanism 3, and the cutting drive mechanism 3 is in transmission connection with the cutting mechanism;

[0029] A opening and closing drive seat 4 is fixedly connected to the workbench 2. The opening and closing drive seat 4 includes a groove slide seat 41. Above the groove slide seat 41, C-shaped clamping frames 5 are symmetrically and movably connected. At the bottom of each C-shaped clamping frame 5, a connecting shaft rod 44 is inserted. On both sides of the connecting shaft rod 44, pin shaft plates 43 are fixedly connected through the C-shaped clamping frame 5, and the pin shaft plates 43 are fixedly connected to the middle position of the groove slide seat 41.

[0030] In this embodiment, a compound threaded rod 42 is movably connected to the inner side of the groove slide seat 41. At the end of the groove slide seat 41, a servo motor 8 is fixedly connected, and the end of the servo motor 8 penetrates through the groove slide seat 41 and is in transmission connection with any section of the compound threaded rod 42 through a coupling.

[0031] In this embodiment, hinge assemblies 7 are symmetrically arranged in the groove slide seat 41. One end of each hinge assembly 7 is movably connected to the groove slide seat 41, and the other end is movably connected to the bottom of the C-shaped clamping frame 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, the hinge assembly 7 includes a slider 71 slidably connected to the groove slide seat 41, and the slider 71 is threadedly connected to both ends of the compound threaded rod 42;

[0033] Symmetric fixed ear plates 72 are integrally arranged on the slider 71. A hinge plate 73 is movably connected between the two fixed ear plates 72, and one end of the hinge plate 73 away from the fixed ear plates 72 is movably connected to the bottom of the C-shaped clamping frame 5.

[0034] In this embodiment, elastic clamping rods 6 are arranged in a rectangular array in each C-shaped clamping frame 5, and a locking bolt corresponding to the elastic clamping rod 6 is threadedly connected to the side of the C-shaped clamping frame 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the elastic clamping rod 6 includes a top rod 61. The top rod 61 is slidably connected to the C-shaped clamping bracket 5, and the end of the top rod 61 penetrates through the C-shaped clamping bracket 5 and is integrally provided with a baffle 62. The other end of the top rod 61 is integrally provided with an external thread, and a corresponding threaded knob 63 is threadedly connected to the end of the top rod 61.

[0036] In this embodiment, a spring 64 is also sleeved on the outer side of the top rod 61, and both ends of the spring 64 are respectively in contact with the side surface of the threaded knob 63 and the side surface of the C-shaped clamping bracket 5.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, first place the profile between two symmetrically arranged C-shaped clamping brackets 5, and then through the threaded transmission between the slider 71 and the double-threaded rod 42, when the double-threaded rod 42 rotates, it drives the sliders 71 on both sides to slide outward, and through the hinge plate 73, it pushes the symmetrically arranged C-shaped clamping brackets 5 to approach each other. The end of the top rod 61 is in contact with the outer side of the profile. As the C-shaped clamping bracket 5 moves, the top rods 61 at different positions slide inside the C-shaped clamping bracket 5 until the symmetrically arranged C-shaped clamping brackets 5 are in contact with each other. The spring 64 applies a reverse acting force to the top rod 61 to clamp the profile. Since the multiple arranged top rods 61 are arranged in a rectangular array, different-shaped profiles can be clamped without replacing the fixture, increasing the applicable occasions. Finally, tighten the locking bolts at the corresponding positions to lock the position of the top rod 61.

[0038] In this embodiment, the bottom of the workbench 2 is movably connected to a base, the outer side of the base is fixedly connected to an outer protective shell 1, and the workbench 2 is located inside the outer protective shell 1, which can prevent the chips after cutting from splashing during the working process and improve the safety during use.

[0039] In this embodiment, symmetric connecting ear plates are integrally provided on one side of the bottom of the C-shaped clamping bracket 5 far from the connecting shaft rod 44. The connecting ear plates are respectively located on both sides of the end of the hinge plate 73, and the connecting ear plates and the end of the hinge plate 73 are movably connected through a pin shaft.

[0040] In this embodiment, the end of the top rod 61 far from the baffle 62 is spherical. The end of the top rod 61 is in contact with the outer surface of the profile. The spherical end surface can prevent scratches on the profile surface during the clamping process and improve the protection effect when clamping the profile.

[0041] In this embodiment, the end of the locking bolt on the side of the C-shaped clamping bracket 5 penetrates through the C-shaped clamping bracket 5 and is in contact with the side of the top rod 61. Tighten the locking bolt. Since the locking bolt is threadedly connected to the C-shaped clamping bracket 5, the end of the locking bolt will approach the top rod 61 and squeeze the top rod 61, thereby fixing the position of the top rod 61.

[0042] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: When in use, first place the profile between two symmetrically arranged C-shaped clamping brackets 5, and then drive the double-threaded rod 42 to rotate through the servo motor 8. Due to the screw drive between the slider 71 and the double-threaded rod 42, when the double-threaded rod 42 rotates, it drives the sliders 71 on both sides to slide outward, and through the hinge plate 73, it pushes the symmetrically arranged C-shaped clamping brackets 5 to approach each other. The end of the ejector rod 61 abuts against the outer side of the profile. As the C-shaped clamping bracket 5 moves, the ejector rods 61 at different positions slide on the inner side of the C-shaped clamping bracket 5 until the symmetrically arranged C-shaped clamping brackets 5 are in contact with each other. The spring 64 applies a reverse force to the ejector rod 61 to clamp the profile. Finally, tighten the locking bolts at the corresponding positions to lock the position of the ejector rod 61, forming a special fixing fixture for a single profile. And because the multiple ejector rods 61 are arranged in a rectangular array, different-shaped profiles can be clamped without replacing the fixture, increasing the applicable scenarios; the structure is simple and the operation is very convenient.
