[0002] When machining some workpieces, it is necessary to machine multiple angles of the workpiece. At this time, the workpiece can be fixed on the fixture turntable, and then by rotating the turntable, the workpiece is rotated to a specific angle for machining.

[0003] The Chinese patent document with the publication number CN219403312U discloses a fixture positioning turntable, which only relies on two clamping plates (labeled 11 in the comparative document) to clamp the workpiece. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the two surfaces of the workpiece being clamped are parallel planes, resulting in a relatively single type of workpiece that can be clamped by the comparative document. However, most of the workpieces that need to be machined at multiple angles are irregular workpieces. Therefore, the above-mentioned comparative technical document cannot meet most of the clamping requirements when dealing with most irregular workpieces. Therefore, the existing technology needs a multi-angle machining fixture turntable suitable for most workpieces. Summary of the Utility Model

[0033] In order to increase the rotation smoothness and stability of the rotating seat groove 2 and the rotating seat 3, an annular bead holder 33 with an annular structure is provided on the lower surface of the rotating seat 3, a plurality of balls 34 are embedded in the bottom circumference of the annular bead holder 33, the balls 34 and the annular bead holder 33 are in spherical rolling fit, and an annular track for all the balls 34 to roll around the center circumference of the rotating seat 3 is provided on the rotating seat groove 2 to form a ball groove 21.

[0034] To increase the meshing tightness of the rack 7 and the gear 8 and prevent the rack 7 from deflecting and disengaging from the teeth due to the rotational load, an anti-tooth-disengagement mechanism 9 is provided on the fixed seat 1. The main body of the anti-tooth-disengagement mechanism 9 is a bracket 91 and a limit bearing 94. The axis line of the limit bearing 94 is parallel to the axis line of the gear 8. The limit bearing 94 is attached to the side of the rack 7 away from the gear 8. The rack 7 and the limit bearing 94 are in rolling contact. A sliding column 93 is fixed at the center of the limit bearing 94, and the sliding column 93 is fixed to the bracket 91 by a locking bolt 96.

[0035] To enable the limit bearing 94 to be closely attached to the rack 7, an elastic wheel sleeve 95 is fixedly covered on the outer circumferential wall of the limit bearing 94, and the elastic wheel sleeve 95 is in elastic interference fit between the limit bearing 94 and the rack 7.

[0036] To be able to change the distance between the limit bearing 94 and the rack 7 according to the thickness of the elastic wheel sleeve 95 and also to facilitate the replacement of the elastic wheel sleeve 95 as a consumable, the part of the bracket 91 connected to the locking bolt 96 is a notch counterbore 92.

[0039] To be able to adjust the angle of the fixture 5 and also adjust the height of the fixture, a lifting table 10 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the fixed seat 1 by a support leg 11 (the lifting table 10 is not within the protection scope of this application. In this application, as long as the lifting table can achieve the lifting function, it may be applied in this application, so the specific structure and working principle of the lifting table 10 are omitted. Its reference structure can be found in the lifting workbench shown in CN105124920A).

[0040] Brief description of the usage process:

[0041] During use, select the fixture 5 to be used and its matching fixture seat 4 (because this application can process different types of parts, and the fixtures for different types of parts are different, so the specific structure of the fixture 5 in this application is not limited, and the specific structure and working principle of the fixture 5 are not within the protection scope of this application); first insert the inlaid block 41 at the bottom of the fixture seat 4 into the designated position in the inlaid groove 35 of the rotating seat 3, then screw in bolts on the side or bottom of the inlaid groove 35 to clamp and fix the inlaid block 41, and then fix the fixture 5 to the fixture seat 4 by bolts or buckles. The fixture 5 is used to clamp the parts for processing.

[0042] When the angle of the fixture 5 needs to be adjusted, a servo controller is connected to the servo cylinder 6. The external servo controller controls the extension or shortening of the telescopic end of the servo cylinder 6. The telescopic end of the servo cylinder 6 drives the rack 7 to translate relative to the gear 8. Because the rack 7 and the gear 8 are in a meshing state with each other, the rack 7 drives the gear 8 to rotate. Then, the rotating gear 8 drives the center column 31 and the swivel seat 3 to rotate around their axis through the gear shaft 81, thereby driving the base 4 and the fixture 5 installed on the swivel seat 3 to rotate as a whole, thereby changing the angle of the fixture 5.

[0043] When the rotating seat 3 rotates, the balls 34 at the bottom of the rotating seat 3 roll in the ball grooves 21 , providing rolling support for the rotation of the rotating seat 3 and ensuring the stability of the rotation of the rotating seat 3 .

[0044] The limit bearing 94 in the anti-tooth-off mechanism 9 is used to limit the deflection and bending of the limit rack 7, ensure the meshing tightness of the rack 7 and the gear 8, and prevent the rack 7 from deflecting and toothing due to the rotational load. When it is necessary to change the distance between the limit bearing 94 and the rack 7 according to the thickness of the elastic wheel sleeve 95, or replace the elastic wheel sleeve 95 as a consumable, loosen the locking bolt 96, and slide the locking bolt 96 in the slot countersunk hole 92 to adjust the distance between the limit bearing 94, the sliding column 93 as a whole and the rack 7, then replace the new elastic wheel sleeve 95, and then push the limit bearing 94 and the sliding column 93 as a whole toward the rack 7, so that the elastic wheel sleeve 95 is compressed and elastically interference fit between the limit bearing 94 and the rack 7; then re-lock the locking bolt 96 to complete the adjustment of the distance between the limit bearing 94 and the rack 7.

[0045] The indicating arrow 13 is used to cooperate with the angle scale line 12 to indicate the actual deflection angle of the rotating seat 3 in real time, so as to facilitate the staff to adjust or correct the angle of the rotating seat 3.

[0046] Because the embedded groove 35 will sometimes be blocked by the fixing seat 1 at the angle scale line 12, when the clamp seat 4 needs to be replaced, it will be limited by the fixing seat 1 at the angle scale line 12. Therefore, when replacing the clamp seat 4, it is necessary to rotate the opening of the embedded groove 35 to the side opening 24 of the rotating seat groove 2 through an external servo controller to cancel the limitation on the opening of the embedded groove 35, and then take the old clamp seat 4 out of the embedded groove 35 and replace it with a new clamp seat 4.

[0047] The lifting platform 10 can raise or lower the overall height of the fixed seat 1, the rotating seat 3, the clamp seat 4, and the clamp 5 to achieve height adjustment of the clamp.

[0048] This specific embodiment is only an interpretation of the present utility model, and it is not a limitation to the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment that do not contribute creatively as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, it is protected by the patent law.
