DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0023] Example 1

[0024] See also Figure 1-6 , an adaptive positioning device for a machining center, comprising a support plate 1, a vertical frame 2 arranged vertically fixed on the support plate 1, a cylinder 3 fixed on the vertical frame 2, a plurality of mounting seats 9 fixed on the bottom of the support plate 1, a pair of support seats 5 fixed on the support plate 1, a sliding column 6 is slidably mounted on each support seat 5, a clamping assembly for clamping a workpiece is installed on the sliding column 6, a servo motor 8 is fixed on the support plate 1, and an opposing sliding assembly is connected to the servo motor 8 for transmission, the opposing sliding assembly is used to drive the clamping assembly to slide linearly, an elastic support assembly for carrying the workpiece is fixed on the support plate 1, and a push arc plate 4 is fixed on the telescopic end of the cylinder 3, and the push arc plate 4 abuts against the workpiece.

[0025] This positioning device is installed on the support plate 1 through the mounting seat 9. The rod-shaped workpiece is laterally supported by the elastic support component. The cylinder 3 drives the arc plate 4 to move vertically downward, so as to push the workpiece between the clamping components and axially clamp the workpiece through the clamping component.

[0026] Specifically, the clamping assembly includes a clamping post 7 fixed to the end of the sliding post 6. The interior of the clamping post 7 defines an inner conical surface 18, and the exterior of the clamping post 7 defines an outer conical surface 17. The clamping assembly also includes a fixing collar 14 fixedly sleeved on the sliding post 6. A spring coil 15 is fixed between the fixing collar 14 and the support base 5. The support base 5 is fixed with a clamping block 19 that is slidably embedded in the sliding post 6.

[0027] In addition, the opposing sliding assembly includes two coaxially fixed threaded rods 12 with opposite thread rotation directions that are rotatably mounted on the support seat 5. A sliding frame 13 located between the fixed ring 14 and the clamping column 7 is threadedly sleeved on the threaded rod 12. The sliding frame 13 is slidably sleeved on the sliding column 6. The output shaft of the servo motor 8 is coaxially fixed with the threaded rod 12, and the sliding frame 13 is slidably mounted on the support plate 1.

[0028] Through the above arrangement, when the workpiece moves vertically downward, the end of the workpiece first abuts against the outer conical surface 17, and the two clamping columns 7 move in opposite directions. Then, the end of the workpiece extends to the inside of the clamping column 7 and abuts against the inner conical surface 18. Under the elastic pushing action of the spring coil 15, the two clamping columns 7 can quickly clamp the workpiece axially.

[0029] The servo motor 8 is provided to drive the threaded rod 12 to rotate, and the threaded rod 12 drives the sliding frame 13 to slide relative to the support plate 1. At this time, the sliding frame 13 pushes the clamping column 7 to move, and the two clamping columns 7 move toward each other to achieve a secure locking of the workpiece.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] See also Figure 1-6 On the basis of Example 1, in addition, the elastic support component of the present device includes a U-shaped frame 10 that vertically slides through the support plate 1, a support arc plate 20 for supporting the workpiece is fixed on the U-shaped frame 10, a vertical rod 16 is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 1, the U-shaped frame 10 is slidably sleeved on the vertical rod 16, and a support spring 24 is fixed between the U-shaped frame 10 and the support plate 1.

[0032] In the process of pushing the arc plate 4 vertically downward and pushing the workpiece, the workpiece moves vertically downward and pushes the supporting arc plate 20. At this time, the supporting arc plate 20 drives the U-shaped frame 10 to move vertically downward. The supporting arc plate 20 plays a role in vertically supporting the workpiece, ensuring stable adjustment and positioning of the workpiece.

[0033] In addition, clamps 11 are rotatably installed at both ends of the supporting arc plate 20, and a torsion spring 21 is fixed between the clamp 11 and the supporting arc plate 20. A wedge surface 22 is provided on the clamp 11. When the workpiece moves vertically downward, the workpiece pushes against the wedge surface 22, and the clamp 11 rotates. The workpiece is on the supporting arc plate 20, and under the elastic action of the torsion spring 21, the clamp 11 rotates and clamps the workpiece, so that the workpiece is stably laterally positioned when it moves vertically downward, further improving the positioning effect of the workpiece.

[0034] A number of guide rollers 23 distributed along the arc are rotatably installed at the bottom of the arc-pushing plate 4 of this device. The guide rollers 23 are in contact with the surface of the workpiece. The guide rollers 23 can rotate relative to the arc-pushing plate 4, so that when the clamping column 7 is pushed, it drives the workpiece to rotate under the drive of the guide rollers 23, making it easier for the workpiece to move downward and push the clamping column 7, thereby greatly improving the positioning effect of the workpiece.

[0035] To sum up, the cylinder 3 provided in the present invention drives the arc plate 4 to move downward to abut against the workpiece, so that the workpiece moves downward and pushes the outer conical surface 17 of the clamping column 7, so that the clamping columns 7 move away from each other. After the end of the workpiece extends to the inside of the clamping column 7, it abuts against the clamping column 7 with the help of the inner conical surface 18, thereby realizing an adaptive clamping effect on the end of the workpiece, and the opposing sliding components can drive the two clamping columns 7 to move toward each other, thereby further locking the workpiece, and the workpiece clamping and positioning process is efficient and reliable.
