Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a lathe clamp, in particular to a lathe clamp for non-rotating parts. Background Art

[0002] Lathe fixtures are widely used in the machining industry and are usually composed of alignment components, clamping devices, connecting components, and fixture bases. The alignment components are used to determine the precise position of the part in the fixture. Figure 1 (The dotted line represents the non-rotating part.) Lathe fixtures typically use the non-rotating part's blank shape and bearing hole as a reference for alignment and positioning prior to machining, ensuring the part is accurately positioned at the center of rotation of the vertical lathe. However, when the blank shape of a non-rotating part differs significantly from the finished product, existing positioning methods cannot guarantee accurate positioning. Furthermore, during machining, the fixture's moment of inertia can easily affect its grip stability on the non-rotating part, causing the part to loosen or shift during machining, impacting machining efficiency and quality.

[0003] Chinese patent CN109807666A discloses a lathe fixture for non-rotating parts. By tightening a nut on a pressure plate, the clamp is used to fix the non-rotating part to the fixture base, and the fixture base is connected to the lathe chuck to achieve lathe processing of non-rotating parts. While reducing the weight of the fixture, it avoids the phenomenon of vibration during processing due to weight imbalance, thereby ensuring processing accuracy. Chinese patent CN116214746A discloses a fixture and method for processing the outer contour of non-rotating conical thin-walled parts. The fixture clamps and positions the non-rotating part through an external support unit, an internal support unit, and a tailstock unit. By moving the tailstock and external support, the spherical end face of the part is processed, and the non-rotating conical thin-walled part can be firmly and reliably clamped. However, the above two fixtures improve the clamping stability of the fixture by balancing the center of gravity and adding clamping components, respectively. However, neither solves the problem that the positioning accuracy of the part cannot be guaranteed before processing, and the moment of inertia generated during processing affects the clamping stability of the fixture.
