Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of balancing machines, and in particular relates to a two-stage clamp device for a full-automatic balancing machine. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of modern industrial manufacturing technology, the requirements for product precision and quality are increasing. As key equipment in modern manufacturing, fully automatic balancing machines play a vital role in improving product quality, reducing vibration and noise, and extending equipment life. During the operation of a fully automatic balancing machine, the performance of the fixture, a crucial tool for securing and supporting the workpiece, directly impacts the accuracy and efficiency of balancing corrections.

[0003] Some existing workpieces (such as the dynamic transmission cylinder) have two clamping and positioning surfaces separated by a relatively large axial distance. During fully automated testing and correction, both surfaces must be clamped and positioned simultaneously, requiring high clamping stability between the fixture and the clamping surfaces to ensure measurement accuracy and correction effectiveness. The existing patent (201810974621.8 Automatic Centering and Grading Clamping Device for Dual-Mass Flywheels in Fully Automatic Balancing Machines) utilizes an integrated pull rod A10, which makes fine-tuning the stroke difficult with two clamping cycles. The fixture is clamped when the cylinder maintains continuous power output, introducing interference from cylinder force during dynamic balancing tests and affecting test results. Currently, foreign fixtures are expensive and heavy, impacting the sensitivity of dynamic balancing tests. The prior art lacks a two-stage fixture with two clamping and positioning surfaces for fully automatic balancing machines. Utility Model Content

[0039] The outer wall of the secondary conical seat B1 is provided with a secondary conical seat positioning surface, and the secondary collet B2 adopts elastic material (or elastic structure). The outer wall and inner wall of the secondary collet B2 are respectively provided with a secondary collet cylinder and a secondary collet positioning surface.

A guide hole is provided on the inner side wall of the connecting part B6, and a second guide cylinder B3.1 is provided in the middle part of the outer wall of the secondary guide rod B3. There is a clearance fit between the guide hole set in the connecting part B6 and the second guide cylinder B3.1 of the secondary guide rod B3. There is a pre-tightening force in the second spring B5. The secondary conical seat positioning surface of the secondary conical seat B1 and the secondary collet positioning surface of the secondary collet B2 are tightly fitted under the action of the restoring force of the second spring B5, and the secondary collet cylinder B2.2 of the secondary collet B2 expands outward, so that the secondary expansion sleeve B0 is tightly fitted with the second positioning surface of the workpiece E0.

[0040] like Figure 8-11As shown, the first-level expansion sleeve A0 also includes a first-level outer expansion sleeve A9, which is movably mounted on the outer periphery of the first-level collet A2, and the bottom of the first-level outer expansion sleeve A9 is located in the gap between the first-level cone seat A1 and the support ring A7. The inner wall and outer wall of the first-level outer expansion sleeve A9 are respectively provided with an expansion sleeve inner conical surface A9.1 and an expansion sleeve clamping surface A9.2. When the device clamps and positions the workpiece E0, the first-level collet cylindrical surface of the first-level collet A2 and the expansion sleeve inner conical surface A9.1 of the first-level outer expansion sleeve A9 are tightly fitted under the action of the restoring force of the first spring A4, and the expansion sleeve clamping surface A9.2 of the first-level outer expansion sleeve A9 expands outward, thereby making the expansion sleeve clamping surface A9.2 tightly fit with the first positioning surface of the workpiece E0.

[0041] like Figure 12 As shown, the secondary expansion sleeve B0 also includes a secondary external expansion sleeve B9. The annular secondary external expansion sleeve B9 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the secondary collet B2. The inner wall and outer wall of the secondary external expansion sleeve B9 are respectively provided with an expansion sleeve inner conical surface B9.1 and an expansion sleeve clamping surface B9.2. When the device clamps and positions the workpiece E0, the secondary collet cylindrical surface of the secondary collet B2 and the expansion sleeve inner conical surface B9.1 of the secondary external expansion sleeve B9 are tightly fitted under the restoring force of the second spring B5, and the expansion sleeve clamping surface B9.2 of the secondary external expansion sleeve B9 expands outward, thereby making the expansion sleeve clamping surface B9.2 tightly fit with the second positioning surface of the workpiece E0.

[0042] An anti-rotation pin A8 is also provided in the first-level expansion sleeve A0. An annular second groove is provided at the same vertical position on the top of the first-level cone seat A1 and the bottom of the first-level guide cover A3. An anti-rotation pin A8 that can be moved up and down is provided between the second groove of the first-level cone seat A1 and the first-level guide cover A3. An annular third groove is provided on the top of the first-level guide cover A3. An anti-rotation pin A8 that can be moved up and down is provided between the third groove of the first-level guide cover A3 and the top of the first-level collet A2. The anti-rotation pin A8 is used to limit the rotational freedom of the first-level collet A2 and the first-level guide cover A3.

[0043] The primary collet A2 and the primary guide gland A3 can transmit both thrust and pull. A first thread A3.2 is located at the bottom of the outer wall of the primary guide gland A3. Second thread A6.1 of nut A6 engages with first thread A3.2 of the primary guide gland A3, compressing the first spring A4. The restoring force of the first spring A4 allows the positioning surfaces of the primary cone seat and the primary collet to mate tightly, causing the primary collet column to expand outward. A clearance fit between the first guide hole A1.2 and the first guide column A3.1 allows relative motion between the primary cone seat A1 and the primary collet A2, maintaining good coaxiality between the secondary collet column and the positioning surface of the primary cone seat.

[0044] The secondary collet B2 and the gland B4 can transmit both thrust and pull. A third thread B3.2 is located at the top of the outer wall of the secondary guide rod B3. A spherical surface B7.1 and a fourth thread B7.2 are located on the outer and inner walls of the adjustment rod B7, respectively. The spherical surface B7.1 mates with the primary guide gland A3, while the fourth thread B7.2 of the adjustment rod B7 mates with the third thread B3.2 of the secondary guide rod B3. By adjusting the screwing depth of the fourth thread B7.2 of the adjustment rod B7, a small gap is created between the adjustment rod B7 and the primary guide gland A3. A second spring B5 is installed between the secondary guide rod B3 and the connector B6, compressing the second spring B5 to a certain degree. The restoring force of the second spring B5 allows the positioning surfaces of the secondary cone seat and the collet to mate tightly, causing the secondary collet column to expand outward. The guide hole and the second guide column B3.1 provide a clearance, enabling relative motion between the secondary cone seat B1 and the secondary collet B2, while maintaining good coaxiality between the secondary cone seat positioning surfaces. The guide key B8 limits the rotational freedom of the secondary collet B2.

[0045] Example 1: When the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface of the workpiece E0 are the first plane E0.1 and the second plane E0.2 respectively, the first-level cone seat positioning surface and the first-level collet positioning surface are the first outer cone surface A1.1 and the first inner cone surface A2.1 respectively, the second-level cone seat positioning surface and the second-level collet positioning surface are the second outer cone surface B1.1 and the second inner cone surface B2.1 respectively, and the first-level collet cylindrical surface and the second-level collet cylindrical surface are the first clamping surface A2.2 and the second clamping surface B2.2 respectively. The working principle of the device is as follows:

[0046] When the device begins operation, the primary collet A2 of the primary expansion sleeve A0 and the secondary collet B2 of the secondary expansion sleeve B0 are in an expanded state. The push rod C1.1 of the thrust component C0 is pushed out, pushing the secondary guide rod B3, which in turn moves the pressure cover B4 and the secondary collet B2, compressing the second spring B5 and disengaging the second outer cone B1.1 from the second inner cone B2.1. During operation, the adjustment rod B7 contacts the primary guide pressure cover A3 of the primary expansion sleeve A0 and transmits thrust, compressing the first spring A4 and disengaging the first outer cone A1.1 from the first inner cone A2.1. At this point, both the first clamping surface A2.2 and the second clamping surface B2.2 are in a contracted state. The workpiece E0 can now be placed on the support ring A7. Then, the push rod C1.1 of the thrust component C0 retracts, releasing the thrust from the first spring A4 of the primary expansion sleeve A0 and the second spring B5 of the secondary expansion sleeve B0. The springs then force the first clamping surface A2.2 into close contact with the first plane E0.1 of the workpiece E0, and the second clamping surface B2.2 into close contact with the second plane E0.2 of the workpiece E0, achieving high-precision positioning and clamping of the workpiece E0. The spindle turret D0 then rotates the clamping device and workpiece E0, completing the balancing test.

[0047] Example 2: When the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface of the workpiece E0 are respectively the first conical surface E0.3 and the second conical surface E0.4, the first-level cone seat positioning surface and the first-level collet positioning surface are respectively the first positioning cylindrical surface A1.3 and the first inner plane, the second-level cone seat positioning surface and the second-level collet positioning surface are respectively the second positioning cylindrical surface B1.3 and the second inner plane, the first-level collet cylindrical surface and the second-level collet cylindrical surface are respectively the first collet conical surface A2.3 and the second collet conical surface B2.3, an anti-rotation pin A8 is provided between the support ring A7 and the first-level outer expansion sleeve A9, and the anti-rotation pin A8 is used to limit the rotational freedom between the support ring A7 and the first-level outer expansion sleeve A9. The working principle of the device is as follows:

[0048] During operation, the primary outer expansion sleeve A9 and the secondary outer expansion sleeve B9 are in an expanded state. Subsequently, the thrust component C0 activates, compressing the second spring B5 of the secondary expansion sleeve B0, disengaging the second collet cone B2.3 from the expansion sleeve's inner cone B9.1 and contracting the expansion sleeve's clamping surface A9.2. During operation, the adjustment rod B7 contacts the primary guide gland A3 of the primary expansion sleeve A0, transmitting thrust and compressing the first spring A4, disengaging the first collet cone A2.3 from the expansion sleeve's inner cone A9.1 and contracting the expansion sleeve's clamping surface A9.2. Workpiece E0 is placed on support ring A7. Push rod C1.1 of thrust component C0 is then retracted, releasing the thrust from first spring A4 of primary expansion sleeve A0 and second spring B5 of secondary expansion sleeve B0. This spring forces the expansion sleeve's clamping surface A9.2, which aligns tightly with workpiece E0's first tapered surface E0.3, and the expansion sleeve's clamping surface B9.2, which aligns tightly with workpiece E0's second tapered surface E0.4. This achieves high-precision positioning and clamping of workpiece E0, maintaining a fixed clamping position relative to the workpiece. Spindle turntable D0 rotates the clamping device and workpiece E0, completing the balancing test.

[0049] The first-stage expansion sleeve A0 and the second-stage expansion sleeve B0 have different travel ranges to adapt to the different size ranges of the two positioning surfaces of the workpiece E0, completing high-precision and stable clamping of the workpiece E0 and avoiding interference with the stability of the balance test.
