[0037] Reference Figure 1-Figure 7 , a clamping spindle, comprising a spindle 1, a clamping assembly 2 installed at the front end of the spindle 1, the spindle 1 is used to transmit power and transport gas, the clamping assembly 2 is used to install and remove the load body 3, the spindle 1 and the clamping assembly 2 are roughly cylindrical; the clamping assembly 2 comprises a clamping seat 20, a cylinder 21 installed at the front end of the clamping seat 20, a piston 22 installed in the cylinder 21, and a connecting seat 23 installed at the front end of the cylinder 21, also known as a tray; a cylinder shaft 200 is axially arranged in the middle of the front end of the clamping seat 20, a conical shaft 201 is axially arranged in the middle of the front end of the cylinder shaft 200, a connecting seat hole 230 is axially opened in the connecting seat 23, and the cylinder shaft 200 is arranged along the The conical shaft 201 axially passes through the piston 22 and the connecting seat hole 230. A sleeve 24 is installed at the front end of the piston 22. The conical shaft 201 is movably sleeved in the conical hole 240 in the sleeve 24. The tapers of the two are matched. When the piston 22 drives the sleeve 24 to move axially along the conical shaft 201, the conical shaft 201 forces the sleeve 24 to expand and contract radially, thereby releasing or tightening the load body 3 sleeved on the sleeve 24; a main air channel 100 is opened in the main shaft 1, and an internal air channel 202 is opened on the clamping seat 20, the rear end of which is connected to the main air channel 100, and the front end of the internal air channel 202 is connected to the rear air chamber 210 in the cylinder 21.

[0038] When in use, the load body 3 can be a workpiece or a tool. If it is a load body 3 with a plug hole 300, the load body 3 is sleeved on the sleeve 24 through the plug hole 300; if it is a load body 3 with a plug shaft 301 and a plug hole 300 is opened on the plug shaft 301, the plug hole 300 is aligned with the sleeve 24, and the plug shaft 301 is aligned with the connection seat hole 230 for insertion; the main shaft 1 can be fixed to the clamping seat 20 by multiple bolts, and a rotatable gas source connector 4 can be installed at one end of the main shaft 1. The gas enters the axial opening along the main shaft 1 through the gas source connector 4. The main air channel 100 is designed, and then enters the internal air channel 202 of the clamping seat 20 through the secondary air channel 101 opened radially along the main shaft 1, and then enters the rear air chamber 210 in the cylinder 21. By controlling the input and extraction of gas, the piston 22 drives the jacket 24 to move forward or backward along the conical shaft 201. The conical shaft 201 then forces the jacket 24 to expand or contract radially to reset, thereby tightening or releasing the load body 3 connected to the jacket 24. When the main shaft 1 rotates, it drives the clamping assembly 2 and the load body 3 to rotate synchronously, completing the corresponding processing action. This application is easy to install and disassemble, and has higher work efficiency and precision.

[0040] In some embodiments, a jacket 24 is removably installed at the front end of the piston 22 through a locking assembly 5. The locking assembly 5 includes a nut 500 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the front end of the piston 22, a washer 501 sleeved in the nut 500, and a limiting ring 502 radially arranged on the outer wall of the rear end of the jacket 24. The rear end of the jacket 24 is axially inserted into the nut 500. When the nut 500 is locked, the rear end of the jacket 24 and the limiting ring 502 are fixed in the nut 500 to achieve connection and fixation. The locking assembly 5 can conveniently realize the connection and disassembly of the piston 22 and the jacket 24, which is convenient for replacing components such as the jacket 24.

[0041] In some embodiments, two concentric convex rings 232 are provided on the front end face of the connecting seat 23, and the air hole provided at the front end of the connecting seat air channel 231 is located in the area between the two convex rings 232.

When the gas is discharged outward from the connecting seat air channel 231, a vacuum area can be formed between the end faces of the connecting seat 23 and the load body 3, thereby firmly adsorbing the load body 3.

[0042] In some embodiments, the inner air duct 202 is a through hole that passes through the clamping seat 20 axially, and a longitudinal air duct 204 is radially opened on the clamping seat 20, and the outer air duct 203 is arranged horizontally side by side with the inner air duct 202; one end of the outer air duct 203 passes through the front end face of the clamping seat 20, and the other end is connected with the inner air duct 202 through the longitudinal air duct 204, and one end of the longitudinal air duct 204 passes through the outer wall of the clamping seat 20, which is convenient for drilling and for connecting the main air duct 100, the inner air duct 202, and the outer air duct 203. A plug 205 is installed on the outer wall of the clamping seat 20 to close one end of the longitudinal air duct 204 to prevent gas from leaking outward; the gas in the main air duct 100 enters the clamping seat 20 and the cylinder 21 through the inner air duct 202, and can also be connected with the outer air duct 203 and the connecting seat air duct 231 through the longitudinal air duct 204. The structure is simple and convenient.

[0044] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
