Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of clamps, and in particular relates to a retaining spring spindle positioning clamp. Background Art

[0002] For a long time, the retaining springs used in CNC lathe processing will rotate with the spindle to clamp the parts during processing. After one clamping process is completed, the spindle will slowly rotate to a stop due to inertia. At this time, the retaining spring will also swing and rotate with the spindle. When processing the next product, the position of the retaining spring will change due to the shaking, causing the positioning reference of the next product to change when processing the next product compared with the previous product. As a result, positioning errors will be generated in each clamping when the product is continuously processed, resulting in poor dimensional consistency of the product after processing. Even when the continuous processing quantity is large, the size and accuracy will exceed the tolerance. As a result, the operator needs to frequently sample and measure the product and continuously adjust the fixture during the processing process, increasing the waste of production manpower and time. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a retaining spring spindle positioning fixture which restricts the movement of the retaining spring with the main shaft, does not change the retaining spring clamping and positioning position, reduces repeated positioning errors, batches of processing, consistent dimensional accuracy, reduces the operator's frequency of repeated tool setting and spot checks, has high processing efficiency, low cost and simple structure.

[0004] The utility model discloses a circlip spindle positioning fixture, comprising a circlip, a limiting block, an L-shaped thin hook and a hook groove, and is characterized in that the hook groove is provided on the circlip, the limiting block is provided with the L-shaped thin hook, and the L-shaped thin hook is clamped in the hook groove provided on the circlip.

[0005] A limit block is placed on the circlip sleeve and a locking screw is screwed in.

[0006] The circlip sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the inserted circlip.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has significant advantages. As can be seen from the above technical solution, a thin L-shaped hook is provided on the limit block through a hook groove provided on the retaining spring, and the L-shaped hook is engaged with the hook groove provided on the retaining spring. The limit block is the main component of the clamp that realizes its function. The limit block is machined with a thin L-shaped hook that precisely matches the retaining spring and a positioning hole that is interconnected with the retaining spring sleeve. The retaining spring is machined with a hook groove that cooperates with the thin L-shaped hook on the limit block, preventing the retaining spring from rotating with the spindle. The retaining spring sleeve is machined with a threaded hole for securing the limit block. During use, after the limit block is fixed to the retaining spring, the retaining spring sleeve and the limit block are integrally mounted on the retaining spring, ensuring a tight fit between the limit block and the hook groove on the retaining spring. The clamp is then mounted on the lathe spindle. After a single clamping operation is completed, the retaining spring slowly rotates with the spindle due to inertia. However, due to the action of the limit block, the retaining spring does not move back and forth and remains in place until the next clamping operation is completed, ensuring good positioning accuracy. The spindle positioning fixture of the circlip can reduce the occurrence of repeated positioning errors, improve the dimensional accuracy consistency of batch processed products, reduce the frequency of repeated tool setting and random inspections by operators, improve processing efficiency and save a lot of manpower and time costs, and realize the restriction of the movement of the circlip with the spindle, the clamping and positioning position of the circlip does not change, reduce repeated positioning errors, batch processing, consistent dimensional accuracy, reduce the frequency of repeated tool setting and random inspections by operators, high processing efficiency, low cost and simple structure.
