Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clamping devices, in particular to a centering tooling. Background Technique

[0002] CNC lathes are one of the most widely used CNC machine tools. They are mainly used for the cutting of the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces of shaft parts or disc parts, the inner and outer conical surfaces of any cone angle, the complex rotating inner and outer curved surfaces, and the cylindrical and conical threads, etc., and can perform grooving, drilling, reaming, boring and other operations. When machining the cross slide, it is necessary to clamp and fix it.

[0003] At present, the centering devices on the market all use manual centering and then use clamping tooling to fix and clamp them. Such devices are much slower in machining symmetrical workpieces, and manual centering has certain errors, reducing the machining accuracy of the workpieces.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a centering tooling to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A centering tooling includes two baffle plates. A U-shaped plate is fixedly connected between the two baffle plates. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped plate. One end of the telescopic rod away from the U-shaped plate is fixedly connected with a push plate. The push plate is slidably connected with both baffle plates. Remnant gears are arranged on both the left and right sides of the push plate. Tooth grooves meshing with the two remnant gears are arranged on the push plate. Rear arms are fixedly connected to both the two remnant gears. One end of the rear arm away from the remnant gear is rotatably connected with a front arm. The front arm and the rear arm are adjusted by an adjusting mechanism. One end of the front arm away from the rear arm is rotatably connected with a clamping plate.

[0008] Further, the adjusting mechanism includes two inclined plates. Through holes are arranged on both the two inclined plates. A bidirectional threaded rod penetrates through between the two through holes. Threaded sleeves are threadedly sleeved outside the bidirectional threaded rod. The threaded sleeves are rotatably connected with the inner side walls of the through holes. Rotating handles are fixedly connected to both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod. Two limit nuts are threadedly sleeved on the parts of the bidirectional threaded rod on both sides of the inclined plates.

[0009] Further, threaded holes matching the bidirectional threaded rod are arranged inside the two threaded sleeves on the same bidirectional threaded rod. The threads in the two threaded holes have opposite helix directions.

[0010] Further, the residual gear includes a disc and a plurality of teeth. The plurality of teeth are evenly distributed at the 3 / 4 position of the disc, and the rear arm is fixedly connected to the position of the disc where no teeth are provided.

[0011] Further, the two residual gears are arranged axially symmetrically about the central axis of the push plate.

[0012] Further, a plurality of limiting rods are fixedly penetrated between the two baffles, and the U-shaped plate is provided with limiting holes matching the limiting rods.

[0013] Further, the clamping plate and the front arm are rotatably connected by a damping rotating shaft.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are at least as follows:

[0015] 1. By providing a push plate and residual gears, the push plate is driven to move by a telescopic rod. The push plate drives the two residual gears to rotate relatively.

[0016] 2.

The push plate 4 is slidably connected to both baffles 1. Remnant gears 5 are provided on both the left and right sides of the push plate 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, the remnant gear 5 includes a disc 17 and a plurality of teeth 18. The plurality of teeth 18 are evenly distributed at the 3 / 4 position of the disc 17. The rear arm 7 is fixedly connected to the position of the disc 17 where no teeth 18 are provided. The push plate 4 is provided with tooth grooves 6 meshing with the two remnant gears 5. Rear arms 7 are fixedly connected to both of the two remnant gears 5. One end of the rear arm 7 far from the remnant gear 5 is rotatably connected to a front arm 8.
