[0027] The following further describes the present utility model in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present utility model and be able to implement it, but the embodiments given are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] Referring to Figures 1 - 5 as shown, a self-centering and deformation-preventing pneumatic fixture of the present utility model includes

[0029] a base 1;

[0030] a centering member 2, the centering member 2 is arranged on the base 1, the centering member 2 includes a mandrel 21, two support ribs 22 extending along its length direction are symmetrically arranged on the side surface of the mandrel 21, and a ball head plunger 23 located between the two support ribs 22 is also vertically arranged on the side surface of the mandrel 21;

[0031] a pressing assembly 3, the pressing assembly 3 includes a plurality of driving sources 31 connected to the base 1 around the mandrel 21, and the output shafts of the driving sources 31 are all parallel to the mandrel 21 and are connected with pressure blocks 32.

[0032] Specifically, the two support ribs 22 and the ball-head plunger 23 are arranged at triangular intervals on the side of the mandrel 21. The three points where the two support ribs 22 and the ball-head plunger 23 are located can form a circle, so that centering and positioning of the workpiece can be achieved in the inner hole of the workpiece. The pressing assembly 3 can press and fix the positioned workpiece by driving the pressing block 32 through the driving source 31. It can be conceived that the fixing method of the original expansion mandrel mainly fixes the workpiece by applying a radial force to the workpiece in the inner hole of the workpiece; while this fixture only applies a very small radial force to the workpiece, and mainly fixes the workpiece by applying an axial force to the workpiece through the pressing assembly 3. Since the workpiece is not easily deformed axially, the pressing assembly 3 can apply sufficient force to fix the workpiece, ensuring the stability of the workpiece during the machining process and thus guaranteeing the machining accuracy.

[0033] The self-centering and anti-deformation pneumatic fixture of the present utility model can achieve positioning and preliminary fixing of the workpiece in the inner hole of the workpiece by the three-point cooperation of the ball-head plunger 23 and the two support ribs 22, and then axially press the positioned workpiece by driving the pressing block 32 through multiple driving sources 31, ensuring that the workpiece has sufficient stability without the occurrence of the workpiece being bruised or deformed, and can guarantee the final dimensional accuracy and quality of the product. The structure of the whole fixture is simple, and the installation and maintenance are convenient, which is suitable for practical use.

[0034] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in, further, the base 1 includes a base plate, and a cylindrical base column is vertically arranged on the base plate. The centering member 2 includes a frustum-shaped base, and the base is coaxially connected to the base column, and the free end of the base is coaxially provided with a mandrel 21. Specifically, the frustum-shaped base can make room for the pressing block 32, so that the pressing block 32 will not interfere during the movement process, ensuring the smooth progress of production.

[0035] Further, a limiting protrusion 24 is arranged at the free end of the base on one side of the mandrel. Specifically, the bottom of the workpiece has a notch matching the limiting protrusion 24. When sleeving the workpiece on the mandrel 21, making the positions of the notch and the limiting protrusion 24 correspond to each other can ensure the consistency during the feeding of the product. In this way, the product can be mass-produced by adjusting the processing equipment once, which can effectively improve the production efficiency and reduce the production cost.

[0036] Refer to Figure 5As shown, further, there are three sets of pressing components 3. The drive sources 31 of the three sets of pressing components 3 are all vertically connected to the substrate and arranged in a triangle. Mounting seats 33 are provided on the shells of the drive sources 31. The middle position of the pressing block 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 33. One end of the pressing block 32 is close to the centering member 2, and the other end is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the drive source 31. Specifically, when the output shaft of the drive source 31 extends, the end of the pressing block 32 close to the mandrel 21 flips towards the side pressing the mandrel 21, so as to press and fix the workpiece sleeved on the mandrel 21; when the output end of the drive source 31 contracts, the end of the pressing block 32 close to the mandrel 21 flips towards the side away from the mandrel 21, so as to release the workpiece.

[0037] Further, two symmetric connecting plates 34 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting seat 33. The middle position of the pressing block 32 is rotatably connected between the two connecting plates 34. Specifically, the connecting plates 34 can be installed on the mounting seat 33 through bolts and nuts. At the same time, the pressing block 32 can also be rotatably connected between the two connecting plates 34 through bolts and nuts, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0038] Further, the pressing block 32 includes a main body part. The middle position of the main body part is rotatably connected to the mounting seat, and one end of the main body part is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the drive source 31, and the other end is provided with a pressing head. The size and shape of the pressing head can be set according to the size and shape of the position where the workpiece is to be pressed to ensure the pressing effect.

[0039] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, further, the ball head plunger 23 and the two support ribs 22 are arranged in a triangle, which is beneficial to the stability of the workpiece. The ball head plunger 23 can be a spring ball head plunger.

[0040] Further, a chamfer is provided at the free end of the mandrel 21. The chamfer can play a guiding role and facilitate the workpiece to be sleeved on the mandrel 21.

[0041] Further, the drive source 31 is a cylinder, but is not limited to a cylinder.
