[0017] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0018] See Figures 1-4 The utility model provides an adaptive shaft processing flexible fixture, comprising:

[0019] A support shaft device 3, a transverse hydraulic motor 5 and a forward and reverse screw nut pair 6 are arranged at the center of the machine tool. A clamp base 7 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides with the support shaft device 3 as the center. The clamp base 7 is connected to the machine tool bed 1 through a linear guide rail, so that the clamp base 7 can slide laterally relative to the machine tool bed 1.

[0020] The positive and negative thread screw nut pair 6 includes positive and negative thread screws 601 and nuts 602. Each clamp base 7 is provided with an opposite chuck seat 4. The chuck seat 4 is connected to the clamp base 7 through a linear guide rail, so that the chuck seat 4 can move longitudinally relative to the clamp base 7.

[0021] One end of the forward and reverse threaded screw 601 is connected to the output of the traverse hydraulic motor 5, and the other end is connected to the nut 602 at the bottom of the clamp base 7. The traverse hydraulic motor 5 and the forward and reverse threaded screw 601 are both installed inside the machine tool bed 1. Specifically, the forward and reverse threaded screw 601 is connected to the traverse hydraulic motor 5 by a gear or pulley pair. Through the transmission of the forward and reverse threaded screw nut pair 6, the clamp base 7 is driven to move symmetrically and synchronously about the support shaft device 3, thereby achieving automatic adjustment of the axial clamping position of different axle types 2.

[0022] Preferably, the shaft support device 3 includes a lifting device 301, a guide groove 302 and a shaft support roller 303. The shaft support roller 303 is arranged in a V shape, and the size of the V-shaped opening can be set according to actual needs. The lifting device 301 is arranged at the bottom of the shaft support device 3 and is limited by the guide groove 302. The lifting device 301 can be driven up and down by a motor or hydraulic power. The shaft support roller 303 is used to support the axle 2 and make the center of the axle 2 lower than the center height of the top after clamping by 0.5-1mm, so that the top hole of the shaft support device 3 and the outer cylindrical surface of the axle 2 can be effectively protected during clamping.

[0023] Preferably, a chuck 10 is provided at the front end of the chuck seat 4 , and the chuck 10 slides slightly in the up-down direction inside the chuck seat 4 .

[0024] Preferably, the system further includes a screw-nut pair 8 and a clamping hydraulic motor 9. The screw-nut pair 8 includes a screw 801 and a screw nut 802. The chuck base 4 is connected to the screw nut 802, and the output shaft of the clamping hydraulic motor 9 is directly connected to the screw 801. The clamping hydraulic motor 9 drives the screw-nut pair 8 to rotate, thereby driving the chuck base 4 to move synchronously, causing the chuck 10 to clamp or loosen the axle 2.

[0025] In actual use, the shaft support device 3 supports the middle part of the axle 2 and can move laterally relative to the machine tool body 1. The chuck seats 4 are respectively arranged at both ends of the axle 2. The two chuck seats 4 can perform longitudinal floating movement on the clamp base 7. The specific process is: the screw 801 is connected to the chuck seat 4 on one side, and the screw nut 802 is connected to the chuck seat 4 on the other side. When clamping, the chuck 10 on one side will stop when it touches the axle 2, and the chuck 10 on the other side will automatically approach the clamping axle 2, realizing adaptive floating clamping of the radial horizontal direction of the axle 2; due to the clamping The chuck 10 at the front end of the head seat 4 can perform a slight floating movement in the up and down directions. The specific method is that the chuck 10 is installed in the chuck seat 4 through the slide groove 401, and a pad 402 is set under the chuck 10. The pad 402 is preferably an elastomer. The chuck 10 slides slightly up and down in the chuck seat 4 in the vertical direction. When the chuck 10 is close to the axle 2, the chuck 10 will float up and down according to the outer shape position of the axle 2, so that the axle 2 remains stationary. The vertical floating clamping realizes adaptive floating clamping of the radial vertical direction of the axle 2, thereby realizing adaptive clamping of the axle 2.

[0026] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
