[0002] The chuck that clamps and supports the tube in the laser tube cutting machine is a very important and precise component of the Y-axis. Its most important and basic function is to provide precise centering, reliable clamping, and precise rotation of the cut tube. Currently, standard laser tube cutting machines generally use a self-centering pneumatic clamping gear-driven rotating chuck, which has high centering accuracy, reliable clamping, high rotation accuracy, and high efficiency. However, its disadvantages are: a relatively complex structure, high cost, and expensive price. A large number of users have a strong demand for low-cost, high-quality, and economical laser tube cutting machines. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a self-centering manual clamping chuck for a laser tube cutting machine, which can reduce the cost and manufacturing price of the laser tube cutting machine chuck. Under the premise of ensuring the functions of precise centering, reliable clamping and precise rotation, the pneumatic clamping is changed to manual clamping, which greatly simplifies the structure, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing costs and prices.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a self-centering manual clamping chuck of a laser tube cutting machine, which includes a manual clamping mechanism and an electric rotating disk for driving the manual clamping mechanism to rotate, the manual clamping mechanism includes a shell and two self-centering clamping mechanisms that are staggered and fixed inside the shell, the self-centering clamping mechanism includes two mounting blocks arranged opposite to each other, two optical axes that can be slidably connected at both ends of the mounting blocks, and a positive and negative double-ended lead screw that is screwed between one end of the two mounting blocks, a roller assembly is provided on the facing side of the two mounting blocks, and the outer surface of the positive and negative double-ended lead screw is provided with a clockwise external thread and a counterclockwise external thread from the middle to both ends respectively.

[0005] A first support is installed between the two ends of the positive and negative double-ended lead screw and the adjacent optical axis, and a second support is installed on the other optical axis.

[0006] A first support and a second support of one of the self-centering clamping mechanisms are fixed with a pad.

[0007] The roller assembly comprises a bearing seat fixed on the side surface of the mounting block and two rods rotatably mounted on the bearing seat.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: in order to reduce the cost and manufacturing price of the laser tube cutting machine chuck, the present invention changes the pneumatic clamping to manual clamping under the premise of ensuring the functions of precise centering, reliable clamping and precise rotation, thereby greatly simplifying the structure and achieving the purpose of reducing costs and prices.

[0009] This utility model retains the structure of gear transmission rotation to ensure that the function of precise rotation is not affected. Precision centering is achieved by using a trapezoidal positive and negative precision screw. Two vertically arranged trapezoidal positive and negative precision screws can ensure precise centering in both the X and Z directions to achieve centering of circular, square, and rectangular cross-section pipes. The trapezoidal positive and negative precision screws achieve both precise centering and reliable clamping. Because the trapezoidal thread screw has a self-locking characteristic, after clamping the pipe, the screw slider will not shift or loosen during the chuck rotation and feeding process, and the pipe clamping is highly reliable.

[0017] In this embodiment, the manual clamping mechanism 10 includes a shell 11 and two self-centering clamping mechanisms 12 arranged in a staggered manner and fixed inside the shell 11. The two automatic clamping mechanisms 12 are arranged in a staggered manner to achieve clamping of the pipe in the X and Y axis directions.

[0018] The self-centering clamping mechanism 12 includes two mounting blocks 121 arranged opposite to each other, two optical shafts 122 that can be slidably connected to the two ends of the mounting blocks 121, and a double-ended lead screw 123 with positive and negative threads screwed between one end of the two mounting blocks 121. A roller assembly 124 is provided on the side facing each other of the two mounting blocks 121. The outer surface of the double-ended lead screw 123 with positive and negative threads is respectively provided with clockwise external threads and counterclockwise external threads from the middle to the two ends, so that the two mounting blocks 121 can move toward or in opposite directions after rotating the double-ended lead screw 123 with positive and negative threads.

[0019] In this embodiment, in order to increase the stability of movement, a first support A is installed between the two ends of the positive and negative double-ended lead screw 123 and its adjacent optical axis, and a second support B is installed on the other optical axis.

[0020] In this embodiment, a first support and a second support of one of the self-centering clamping mechanisms are fixed with a spacer C, so that the two self-centering clamping mechanisms can be stacked without interfering with each other.

[0023] This utility model retains the structure of gear transmission rotation to ensure that the function of precise rotation is not affected. Precision centering is achieved by using a trapezoidal positive and negative precision screw. Two vertically arranged trapezoidal positive and negative precision screws can ensure precise centering in both the X and Z directions to achieve centering of circular, square, and rectangular cross-section pipes. The trapezoidal positive and negative precision screws achieve both precise centering and reliable clamping. Because the trapezoidal thread screw has a self-locking characteristic, after clamping the pipe, the screw slider will not shift or loosen during the chuck rotation and feeding process, and the pipe clamping is highly reliable.

[0024] The main difference between this utility model and the original self-centering pneumatic clamping gear-driven rotary standard chuck is the centering and clamping method. The original self-centering pneumatic clamping gear-driven rotary standard chuck adopts pneumatic clamping and an independent centering mechanism, while the utility model adopts manual clamping and a trapezoidal positive and negative precision screw to achieve centering and clamping at the same time.
