DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model is a clamping device for a leaf ring, comprising: a support member 1, the support member 1 comprising a base 13 and a support plate 11 extending away from the base 13, the support plate 11 being provided with a boss 17 for abutting against the leaf ring 7, a receiving space 111 for accommodating the protruding portion of the leaf ring 7 being formed between the boss 17 and the base 13, at least one first positioning hole 18 being provided on the boss 17, the center line of the first positioning hole 18 being collinear with the center line of the second positioning hole 72 on the leaf ring 7, the edge of the base 13 close to the boss 17 being provided with a clamping groove 131 for clamping with the leaf ring 7; a first pressure plate 3, the first pressure plate 3 being connected to the base 13 and being used to abut against the first edge of the leaf ring 7; a second pressure plate 2, the second pressure plate 2 being connected to the support plate 11 and being used to abut against the second edge of the leaf ring 7.

[0025] The present embodiment provides a clamping device for a leaf ring, which fixes the leaf ring 7 radially by clamping the edge of the leaf ring 7 with the clamping groove 131 and the center lines of the first positioning hole 18 and the second positioning hole 72 are colinear. The protruding portion of the leaf ring 7 is located in the accommodating space 111 so that the edge of the leaf ring 7 can be abutted against the boss 17. The first edge of the leaf ring 7 is clamped by the first pressure plate 3, and the second edge of the leaf ring 7 is clamped by the second pressure plate 2, so that the leaf ring 7 is fixed axially. In this way, the leaf ring 7 can be fixed without the clamping portion of the leaf ring 7, which can avoid large removal during fine processing and prevent deformation of parts.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the leaf ring 7 is annular as a whole. After the first processing, the edge of the leaf ring 7 has one and only one protrusion 71, and the protrusion 71 has a second positioning hole 72. The edge of one end of the leaf ring 7 has a protrusion. The leaf ring 7 includes a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge is the inner ring of the leaf ring 7 and the second edge is the outer ring of the leaf ring 7.

[0027] The support member 1 comprises a base 13 and a support plate 11 extending away from the sidewall of the base 13. A through-hole 15 is located in the center of the base 13 for interfacing with processing equipment, giving the base 13 an overall annular shape. The support plate 11 is spaced a certain distance from both the top and bottom planes of the base 13. A boss 17 is located on the top side of the support plate 11, designed to abut against the leaf ring 7. The boss 17 is positioned along the edge of the base 13, giving the boss 17 an overall annular shape. A space 111 is formed between the boss 17 and the base 13 to accommodate the protruding portion of the leaf ring 7. A slot 131 is located on the top edge of the base 13, near the boss 17, for engaging with the leaf ring 7. The slot 131 abuts against the bottom of the first edge of the leaf ring 7. Specifically, the diameter of the circle formed by the abutment between the slot 131 and the first edge corresponds to the inner diameter of the leaf ring 7. The centerline of the leaf ring 7 is collinear with the centerline of the base 13. The cross-section of the retaining groove 131 is right-angled, allowing the two sidewalls of the retaining groove 131 to abut against the bottom side of the leaf ring 7 and the inner ring sidewall of the leaf ring 7. The boss 17 is provided with at least one first positioning hole 18. The centerline of the first positioning hole 18 is designed to be collinear with the centerline of the second positioning hole 72 on the leaf ring 7. That is, the distance from the first positioning hole 18 to the centerline of the base 13 is the same as the distance from the second positioning hole 72 to the centerline of the leaf ring 7. The first positioning hole 18 is secured with a second positioning post 6, which can pass through the second positioning hole 72 on the leaf ring 7, thereby fixing the radial position of the leaf ring 7. Specifically, the positioning post can be considered a positioning pin or a bolt. The bolt is threadedly connected to the first positioning hole 18 and the second positioning hole 72 to connect the boss 17 to the protrusion 71. The provision of the first positioning hole 18 and the second positioning hole 72 enables the leaf ring 7 to be accurately positioned at the processing position. Preferably, the protrusion 71 of the leaf ring 7 may have multiple second positioning holes 72 with different diameters, and the boss 17 may have multiple first positioning holes 18 with different diameters corresponding to the second positioning holes 72. The multiple second positioning holes 72 correspond to the first positioning holes 18 so that the clamping device can be suitable for different leaf ring 7 processing steps. For example, during rough processing, the second positioning column 6 is used to make the center line of the first positioning hole 18 with a larger diameter collinear with the center line of the second positioning hole 72. During fine processing, the second positioning column 6 is used to make the center line of the first positioning hole 18 with a smaller diameter collinear with the center line of the second positioning hole 72.

[0028] A first mounting hole 14 is provided near the edge of the base 13. A first fastener 31 is threadedly connected to the first mounting hole 14. The first fastener 31 can be regarded as a bolt. The first fastener 31 is also threadedly connected to the first pressure plate 3, so that the first pressure plate 3 can be connected to the base 13 through the first fastener 31. The first pressure plate 3 is used to abut against the top of the first edge of the leaf ring 7. By rotating the first fastener 31, the leaf ring 7 can be pressed against the top of the first edge of the leaf ring 7, so that the inner ring of the leaf ring 7 is clamped between the first pressure plate 3 and the clamping groove 131. Preferably, the thickness of the end of the first pressure plate 3 that abuts against the leaf ring 7 gradually decreases toward the boss 17, that is, the end of the first pressure plate 3 close to the boss 17 has an inclined surface, so that the first pressure plate 3 can extend into the groove with a smaller height to clamp the leaf ring 7.

[0029] The base 13 is also provided with a second mounting hole 16. The second mounting hole 16 is symmetrically arranged with the first mounting hole 14, and the centers of the second mounting hole 16, the first mounting hole 14, and the base 13 are located on the same straight line. The second mounting hole 16 is clamped with a first positioning column 41, and the first positioning column 41 is also sleeved with a third pressure plate 4. The third pressure plate 4 is clamped with the first positioning column 41 through an interference fit. The third pressure plate 4 is used to abut against the first edge of the leaf ring 7. The structure of the third pressure plate 4 is the same as that of the first pressure plate 3 and will not be repeated. In another embodiment, the first positioning column 41 is threadedly connected to the first mounting hole 14 and the third pressure plate 4, so that the third pressure plate 4 can press the first edge of the leaf ring 7.

[0030] A third mounting hole 12 is provided on the support plate 11. The third mounting hole 12 is threadedly connected to a second fastener 21. The second fastener 21 can be regarded as a bolt. The second fastener 21 is also threadedly connected to a second pressure plate 2, so that the second pressure plate 2 is connected to the support plate 11 through the second fastener 21. The second pressure plate 2 can be abutted against the top of the second edge of the leaf ring 7. By rotating the second fastener 21, the second pressure plate 2 can press the top of the second edge of the leaf ring 7, so that the second edge of the leaf ring 7 is clamped between the boss 17 and the second pressure plate 2. The structure of the second pressure plate 2 is the same as that of the first pressure plate 3 and will not be repeated. The third mounting hole 12 is located near the outer edge of the support plate 11, so that the boss 17 is located between the third mounting hole 12 and the base 13.

[0031] The support plate 11 is also provided with a fourth mounting hole 19, and the fourth mounting hole 19 is threadedly connected to a third fastener 51. The third fastener 51 can be regarded as a bolt. The third fastener 51 is also threadedly connected to the fourth pressure plate 5, so that the fourth pressure plate 5 is connected to the support plate 11 through the third fastener 51. The fourth pressure plate 5 is abutted against the top of the second edge of the leaf ring 7, and the fourth pressure plate 5 can be pressed against the second edge of the leaf ring 7 by rotating the third fastener 51. The structure of the fourth pressure plate 5 is the same as that of the first pressure plate 3 and will not be repeated. The fourth mounting hole 19 is located near the outer edge of the support plate 11, so that the boss 17 is located between the fourth mounting hole 19 and the base 13. The second positioning column 6 passes through the fourth pressure plate 5, so that the clamping position of the fourth pressure plate 5 is fixed.

[0032] When in use, place the leaf ring 7 on the support 1 so that the bottom of the first edge of the leaf ring 7 abuts against the slot 131, the bottom of the second edge of the leaf ring 7 abuts against the boss 17, and the protruding portion of the leaf ring 7 is located in the accommodating space 111 between the boss 17 and the base 13; then, the second positioning column 6 passes through the first positioning hole 18 and the second positioning hole 72 to connect the protrusion 71 with the boss 17; and the first and second edges of the leaf ring 7 are pressed tightly by the first pressing plate 3, the second pressing plate 2, the third pressing plate 4 and the fourth pressing plate 5, so that the leaf ring 7 is fixed. Figure 3 As shown, when the leaf ring 7 needs to be flipped, it is placed on the support 1 after flipping. The clamping process is the same as described above. The leaf ring clamping device of this embodiment can complete the fixing of the leaf ring by clamping a pressure plate on the first edge and the second edge of the leaf ring 7. Depending on the processing method, different numbers of pressure plates can be used to clamp the leaf ring 7. If the side wall of the leaf ring 7 has a groove after processing, the pressure plate can also extend into the groove to clamp the leaf ring 7.

[0033] The utility model provides a clamping device for a leaf ring, which fixes the leaf ring 7 radially by clamping the edge of the leaf ring 7 with the clamping groove 131 and the center lines of the first positioning hole 18 and the second positioning hole 72 are collinear, and the protruding portion of the leaf ring 7 is located in the accommodating space 111 so that the edge of the leaf ring 7 can be abutted against the boss 17, and the first pressure plate 3 clamps the first edge of the leaf ring 7, and the second pressure plate 2 clamps the second edge of the leaf ring 7, so that the leaf ring 7 is fixed axially, thereby completing the fixing of the leaf ring 7 without the need for the clamping portion of the leaf ring 7, avoiding a large amount of removal during fine machining, and preventing deformation of parts. In the prior art, the clamping portion is arranged along the edge of the leaf ring 7. The leaf ring 7 is fixed by the leaf ring clamping device, so that most of the clamping portion in the prior art can be removed during the first processing of the leaf ring 7, leaving only a part of the protrusion 71. After the leaf ring 7 located on the leaf ring clamping device is processed for the second time, only the protrusion 71 needs to be removed when the leaf ring 7 is fine-processed. Compared with the prior art, the leaf ring 7 is processed by the leaf ring clamping device of the utility model, which reduces the amount of removal during fine processing and prevents deformation of parts.

[0034] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
