Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fixtures, in particular to an embedded fixture disassembly and assembly fixture. Background Art

[0002] A jig is a type of tool widely used in carpentry, ironwork, fittery, machinery, electronic control, and some other handicrafts. It is also called a mold or auxiliary tool. It is a model tool used to help position and fix the workpiece during the manufacturing process to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of processing or assembly.

[0003] Machine tools with counterspindles are widely used in fields requiring highly coordinated machining, such as the aerospace industry, which manufactures complex aircraft components, and the automotive industry, which mass-produces auto parts. In a machine tool with a counterspindle, the main spindle and counterspindle can operate independently or collaboratively. The counterspindle is typically located opposite the main spindle and is capable of reverse or supplementary machining. Its primary function is to provide torque and rotational force, making the workpiece's rotational motion on the machine tool smoother and more reliable. For example, in a dual-spindle powered turret machine tool, the two main spindles can perform different machining operations simultaneously, while the counterspindle can perform supplementary or reverse machining while the main spindle is machining, significantly improving machining efficiency and precision.

[0004] The fixture can quickly position and fix the workpiece, reducing the adjustment time during the processing or assembly process, thereby improving production efficiency. The machine tool shaft is often equipped with a fixture. Some fixtures are open-type, while others are fixed by a cover and embedded in the sleeve. The cover is located in the sleeve and is threadedly connected to the spindle. The embedded fixture is fixed between the cover and the spindle. When the cover is detached from the spindle, the embedded fixture naturally falls off. When using a traditional fixture to disassemble and assemble the embedded fixture on the spindle, it is necessary to use screws to fix the auxiliary sleeve and then support the fixture, thereby eliminating hand-held force and providing coaxial support. Then, a lever is inserted into the inner hole of the fixture to pry the fixture loose or tighten it to achieve the disassembly and assembly of the embedded fixture. Utility Model Content

[0040] The inventors discovered that when using existing jigs to disassemble and assemble embedded fixtures, an auxiliary sleeve is required to ensure coaxiality with the main shaft. However, the auxiliary sleeve is heavy and needs to be fixed to the main shaft with screws during assembly and disassembly, requiring high assembly and disassembly precision. Even the slightest deformation requires grinding, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, after the sleeve is fixed, the jig is rotated using a lever. Due to space limitations, the rotation angle is small, requiring frequent insertion and removal of the lever to change the angle before rotating. This is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inconvenient. Furthermore, the torque generated during the lever rotation process is high, and since the distal end of the jig is not fixed, it can slip out of the cover hole, posing a risk of injury to personnel.

[0041] Based on this, the present invention provides an embedded clamp disassembly jig, which is described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0042] The embodiment of the utility model provides an embedded fixture disassembly jig for disassembling and assembling the embedded fixture 2 on the spindle of a machine tool. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a ratchet wrench 6, and a fixture body 4, a connecting rod 5 and a stepped shaft 7 that are axially connected in sequence;

[0043] The end of the fixture body 4 away from the connecting rod 5 is provided with a plurality of pins 41; the plurality of pins 41 can be inserted into the stop cover 3 on the machine tool shaft;

[0044] The outer diameters of the multiple steps of the stepped shaft 7 decrease in sequence, and the end with the largest outer diameter of the stepped shaft 7 is connected to the connecting rod 5;

[0045] The stepped shaft 7 can be inserted into and fixed to an open fixture 8 on a machine tool back shaft 9;

[0046] The ratchet wrench 6 is sleeved on the connecting rod 5 ; the ratchet can drive the connecting rod 5 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, so as to rotate the fixture body 4 and the blocking cover 3 .

[0047] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the shape and number of the pins 41 on the jig body 4 match the pin holes (not shown) in the cover 3 on the spindle. The pins 41 are cylindrical in shape, and the number of pins 41 does not exceed the number of pin holes in the cover 3. Multiple pins are evenly distributed around the circumference of the jig body to achieve uniform force. Preferably, six pins 41 are provided on the jig body 4, which are aligned with the position distribution of the pin holes in the cover 3. This allows the jig body 4 and the cover 3 to be tightly coupled, effectively preventing the pins 41 from falling out of the pin holes in the cover 3 when the jig body 4 rotates.

[0048] Further, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the pin 41 on the jig body 4 is fixed to the jig body 4 by a threaded connection. Specifically, one end of the pin 41 is a cylindrical pin for inserting into the pin hole of the baffle 3, and the other end is a top screw. The jig body 4 is provided with an internal threaded hole, and the top screw is inserted into the internal threaded hole to fix the pin 41 in the jig body 4.

[0049] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1As shown, the stepped shaft 7 can be inserted into and fixed on the open fixture 8 on the machine tool back shaft 9, and the outer diameter of the stepped shaft 7 becomes larger and larger from the end close to the machine tool back shaft 9. The length of each stage is equal and can match the inner hole length of the open fixture 8 on the back shaft 9. That is, after any stage is inserted into the open fixture 8 on the back shaft 9, the stepped shaft 7 can move axially a small distance in the inner hole of the open fixture 8, and the length of the stage is sufficient to provide effective coaxial support for the embedded fixture disassembly and assembly jig to prevent it from falling out.

[0050] The embedded fixture disassembly jig provided by the embodiment of the present invention has an outer diameter of each section of the stepped shaft 7 that increases sequentially from the end, which can meet the requirements of open fixtures 8 of different inner diameters. That is, it can be inserted into and fixed in open fixtures 8 of different inner diameters, and cooperate with the inner hole clearance of the open fixture 8, so that the jig body 4 and the embedded fixture 2 to be disassembled can be achieved with the help of the machine tool back shaft 9, providing a higher coaxial support for the jig body 4 and the fixture to be disassembled, eliminating the step of disassembling the sleeve 1, making disassembly and assembly faster and improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly. At the same time, the open fixture 8 on the machine tool back shaft 9 is used to axially fix the stepped shaft 7, which can prevent the pin 41 on the jig body 4 from falling out of the cover 3, eliminating the risk of injuring the staff.

[0051] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the fixture body 4, the connecting rod 5 and the stepped shaft 7 are axially fixedly connected in sequence, and the ratchet wrench 6 cooperates with the connecting rod 5. By rotating the ratchet wrench 6, the connecting rod 5 can be driven to rotate, and the torque of the connecting rod 5 is transmitted to the fixture body 4 and the stepped shaft 7, so that the fixture body 4 and the stepped shaft 7 rotate together, thereby driving the cover 3 to rotate. The cover 3 in the sleeve 1 can be removed or installed by loosening or tightening the cover 3. Since the stepped shaft 7 can move axially a small distance within the inner hole of the open clamp 8, in the initial stage of disassembly, it is sufficient to prevent the pin 41 on the fixture body 4 from falling out of the pin hole in the cover 3, and at the same time, the cover 3 can be loosened. After the cover 3 is loosened, the back shaft 9 is moved to realize the disassembly of the embedded fixture 2.

[0052] The embedded clamp disassembly jig provided by the embodiment of the present invention facilitates the rotation of the jig body 4 by sleeve-arranging a ratchet wrench 6 on the connecting rod 5. Compared with using a lever to pry the jig body 4 to rotate, the ratchet wrench is used to drive the jig body 4 to rotate, which has a more flexible angle and is simpler and more convenient to operate. The rotation direction can be easily changed to achieve switching between loosening and tightening.

[0053] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1As shown, the connecting rod 5 includes a screw 53, a rotating portion 52, and a connecting rod body 51, which are axially connected in sequence. The connecting rod body 51 is connected to the fixture body 4, and the connection method can be welding. The stepped shaft 7 has a threaded connection opening at the largest outer diameter end, and the screw 53 extends into the threaded connection opening to thread the connecting rod 5 and the stepped shaft 7. The outer diameter of the screw 53 is smaller than the outer diameter of the rotating portion 52. After the screw 53 extends into the threaded interface of the stepped shaft 7, the rotating portion 52 abuts the stepped shaft 7.

[0054] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the ratchet wrench 6 is sleeved on the rotating portion 52 , and the rotating portion 52 is a hexagonal prism, so that it can cooperate with the ratchet wrench 6 and be screwed by the ratchet wrench 6 .

[0055] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the ratchet wrench 6 is sleeved on the rotating part 52, the outer diameter of the connecting rod body 51 is larger than the inner diameter of the ratchet wrench 6, and the maximum outer diameter of the step shaft 7 is also larger than the inner diameter of the ratchet wrench 6, so that the ratchet wrench 6 can only move axially within the length range of the rotating part 52, preventing the ratchet wrench 6 from detaching from the rotating part 52 or moving arbitrarily in the axial direction, thereby improving work efficiency and effectively preventing the ratchet wrench 6 from slipping and injuring the staff.

[0056] In an alternative embodiment, reference Figure 1 As shown, the ratchet wrench 6 is a bidirectional ratchet wrench 6 with adjustable rotation direction, comprising a wrench body 61, a ratchet (not shown), a pawl (not shown), a retaining spring (not shown), and a reversing knob. The outer ring of the ratchet is disposed within the accommodation space at the head of the wrench body 61, and the inner ring of the ratchet protrudes from the accommodation space at the head of the wrench body 61 so that the inner ring of the ratchet can engage with the rotating portion 52; the pawl and retaining spring are disposed within the wrench body 61, and the ends of the retaining spring are respectively fixedly connected to the wrench body 61. The center of the pawl is coaxially hinged with the wrench body 61 and can rotate relative to the wrench body 61; further, the pawl engages with the outer ring of the ratchet, and the reversing knob connects the pawl and can drive the pawl to rotate to change the direction of engagement between the pawl and the ratchet. When the ratchet wrench 6 is used to turn the rotating part 52, the inner ring of the ratchet and the rotating part 52 are locked and the ratchet can be rotated. After loosening, the wrench body can be restored to its original position. Therefore, the wrench body only needs to be rotated several times through a small angle to remove or install the cover 3, without requiring a large operating space, and the rotation direction can be easily changed to switch between loosening and tightening. Compared with using a lever to pry the fixture body to rotate, this saves time and effort, effectively prevents the fixture body 4 from suddenly falling out and injuring workers, and improves the ease of operation and work safety.

[0057] The process of disassembling the embedded fixture 2 on the machine tool spindle using the embedded fixture disassembly jig provided by the embodiment of the present invention may specifically include:

[0058] Insert the pin 41 on the fixture body 4 into the pin hole of the cover 3 to tightly fit the fixture body 4 and the cover 3;

[0059] Move the back shaft 9 and insert the stepped shaft 7 into the inner hole of the open clamp 8 on the back shaft 9 to provide coaxial support and ensure that the stepped shaft 7 can move a small distance in the direction of the back shaft 9;

[0060] Turn the ratchet wrench 6 to loosen the cover 3;

[0061] The back shaft 9 is removed and the blocking cover 3 is removed, thereby disassembling the embedded fixture 2 .

[0062] The process of installing the embedded fixture 2 on the machine tool spindle using the embedded fixture disassembly and assembly jig provided by the embodiment of the utility model may specifically include:

[0063] Insert the pin 41 on the fixture body 4 into the pin hole of the cover 3 to tightly fit the fixture body 4 and the cover 3;

[0064] Move the back shaft 9 and insert the stepped shaft 7 into the inner hole of the open fixture 8 on the back shaft 9 to provide coaxial support and ensure that the stepped shaft 7 can move a small distance toward the direction of the embedded fixture 2;

[0065] Turn the ratchet wrench 6 to tighten the cover 3 to complete the fixed installation of the embedded clamp 2, and then remove the back shaft 9.

[0066] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The present disclosure is not limited to the precise structure described above and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and variations may be made without departing from its scope. The scope of the present disclosure is limited solely by the appended claims. Thus, to the extent such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, the present disclosure is intended to include such modifications and variations.
