DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0017] The following are specific embodiments of the present utility model and in combination with the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described, but the present utility model is not limited to these embodiments.
[0018] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, this claw-type tap chuck includes a chuck sleeve 100, chuck claws 200, a chuck base 300, and a screw rod 400. The screw rod 400 passes through the chuck base 300 from the rear to the front and is fixedly connected to a chuck chassis 230 at the top. Four chuck claws 200 with the same structure are circumferentially arranged on the front side of the chuck chassis 230 and are connected end to end through connecting springs 220. The chuck sleeve 100 is sleeved on the outside of the chuck claws 200 from the front to the rear and is connected to the chuck base 300.
[0019] As Figures 2 to 3 shown, the rear end of the screw rod 400 is a machine head mounting handle 420 for mounting on the fixture machine head of an internal thread processing machine. The front end is provided with an adjusting screw 410. A base center hole 330 is opened in the center of the chuck base 300, and a base center thread 331 is formed on the inner side wall of the base center hole 330. The adjusting screw 410 cooperates with the base center thread 331, so that the screw rod 400 can be adjusted to move back and forth in the base center hole 330 by rotation, thereby driving the chuck chassis 230 and the chuck claws 200 on its front side to perform front and rear position adjustments, realizing the adjustable change of the tap clamping port.
[0020] As Figure 2 shown, the four chuck claws 200 have the same structure and together form a flat-top cone with a base. The chuck claws 200 form a clamping surface 212 on the side facing the center. The four clamping surfaces 212 respectively correspond to the four planes of the square head at the end of the tap. Clamping friction lines 213 are opened on the clamping surfaces 212 of the chuck claws 200 to increase the roughness of the contact surface, so as to better clamp the tap through the clamping surface 212 and prevent the tap from slipping during the tapping process and affecting the tapping quality.
[0021] Spring holes 211 are opened on both side surfaces of the chuck claws 200 facing the adjacent chuck claws 200. The axial direction of the spring holes 211 is perpendicular to the side surface where they are located, and the two spring holes 211 on the same chuck claw 200 do not intersect. The same connecting spring 220 is installed between the two chuck claws 200 where the adjacent spring holes 211 are located. The connecting spring 220 is an outward-supporting spring, so that the four chuck claws 200 and the four connecting springs 220 are connected to each other at intervals to form a claw-type structure connected end to end. The center of the claw-type structure is the clamping space at the end of the tap.
[0022] As Figures 2 to 3As shown, an external base thread 310 is formed on the outer side wall of the chuck base 300. A material-reducing groove 320 is formed on the outer side wall of the chuck base 300 at the rear side of the external base thread 310, which gives the rear end a deformation space when the front end of the chuck sleeve 100 is clamped while saving materials. The chuck sleeve 100 is integrally in the shape of a hollow thin-shell bullet. An internal sleeve thread 120 is formed on the inner side wall of its rear end. The internal sleeve thread 120 cooperates with the external base thread 310 to fix the chuck sleeve 100 to the front end of the chuck base 300. External sleeve friction lines 110 are formed on the outer side wall of the chuck sleeve 100, which facilitates the user to install the chuck sleeve 100 on the chuck base 300 by rotation.
[0023] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: This claw-type tap chuck is installed on the fixture head of an internal thread processing machine tool through the chuck mounting handle of the screw rod 400. The front and rear positions of the screw rod 400 are intelligently adjusted by the machine head. When installing the required tap, the square head at the tail end of the tap is inserted into the clamping space at the center of the claw-type structure formed by the chuck claws 200 from front to back. Then, the screw rod 400 drives the chuck base plate 230 and the chuck claws 200 to move forward. Under the inward extrusion of the gradually shrinking inner wall of the chuck sleeve 100, the clamping space of the chuck claws 200 gradually shrinks until the clamping surface 212 of the chuck claws 200 abuts against the plane of the square head at the tail end of the tap, realizing firm clamping of the tap and then tapping.
[0024] When it is necessary to replace taps of different specifications, the screw rod 400 is moved backward. The chuck claws 200 are automatically loosened from the tail end of the tap under the reset action of the connecting spring 220. After the user removes the tap, the above installation operation can be repeated.
[0025] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present utility model. Those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model pertains can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods for substitution, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present utility model or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0026] Although various terms are used more frequently herein, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation is contrary to the spirit of the present utility model.
