[0028] In this embodiment, the fixture mainboard 1 is connected to the manipulator and is driven by the manipulator. When installing the unprocessed compressor cylinder, the clamping claws 3 and the clamping claw pads 4 in the two three-claw cylinders 2 with the pressing cylinder mounting structure 7 are retracted and extended into the inner hole of the compressor cylinder. When the three clamping claws 4 are expanded outward, the three clamping claws 4 can clamp the compressor cylinder. The clamping claw pads 4 can prevent damage to the inner hole of the compressor cylinder 15, and the pressing cylinder mounting structure 7 contacts the end face of the compressor cylinder to apply pressure to the compressor cylinder. When installing the compressor cylinder on the work station, it is ensured that the compressor cylinder 15 is installed in place with high installation accuracy. When it needs to be disassembled When unloading two processed compressor cylinders, the jaws 3 and jaw pads 4 in the two three-claw cylinders 2 without the press-type cylinder mounting structure 7 are retracted and extended into the inner hole of the compressor cylinder. When the three jaws 4 are expanded outward, the three jaws 4 can clamp the compressor cylinder and place the processed compressor cylinder at the next workstation. The air blowing and chip removal structure 5 is used to spray air to the two processed compressor cylinders to clean the iron filings and coolant. This device can disassemble two processed compressor cylinders at one time and then install two unprocessed compressor cylinders. The disassembly and installation of the compressor cylinders are integrated into one fixture, which can greatly improve work efficiency.

The guide post blocking piece 7b1 is fixed to the guide post 7b by screws, and the guide post blocking piece 7b1 is in contact with the bottom end surface of the flange linear bearing 7a.

[0034] In this embodiment, the guide post blocking piece 7b1 can prevent the guide post 7b from being separated from the flange linear bearing 7a, thereby improving safety and stability.

[0035] Combine Figure 2 As shown, a floating spring 7b2 is sleeved on the guide column 7b, and a bearing transverse plate 7a1 is provided on the flange linear bearing 7a, which is screwed and fixed to the cylinder connecting plate 6. One end of the floating spring 7b2 is against the clamping claw floating plate 7c, and the other end is against the bearing transverse plate 7a1.

[0036] In this embodiment, after the guide post 7b has completed sliding backward, the floating spring 7b2 can automatically reset the guide post 7b, the clamping claw floating plate 7c and the nylon buffer plate 7d through the action of elastic force.

[0037] The clamping jaw pad 4 includes a clamping jaw backing plate 4a arranged on the outside of the clamping jaw 3. The clamping jaw backing plate 4a is fixed to the clamping jaw 3 by screws. The clamping jaw backing plate 4a is made of nylon material.

[0038] In this embodiment, during the clamping process, the clamping claw pad 4a abuts against the inner hole wall of the compressor cylinder. The clamping claw pad 4a is made of nylon material, which can prevent damage to the inner hole of the compressor cylinder.

[0039] Combine Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, the nylon buffer plate 7d is provided with a plurality of anti-interference grooves 7d1 distributed in a circular array along the center point of the nylon buffer plate 7d, and the positions of the clamping jaws 3 and the clamping jaw pads 4a correspond to the anti-interference grooves 7d1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the anti-interference groove 7d1 can prevent the nylon buffer plate 7d from colliding with the clamping jaw 3 and the clamping jaw pad 4a during movement, thereby improving safety.

[0041] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the three-jaw cylinder 2 is provided with three pneumatic claws 2a, the pneumatic claws 2a are fixedly connected to the clamping claws 3, and the side of the three-jaw cylinder 2 is connected to two throttling joints 2b.

[0043] Combine Figure 2 As shown, the air blowing and chip removal structure 5 includes two groups of air blowing nozzle seats 5a arranged on the side of the fixture main board 1, and a plurality of air blowing nozzle pipes 5b are connected to the air blowing nozzle seats 5a.

[0044] In this embodiment, the air blowing nozzle seat 5a is used to install and fix the air blowing nozzle pipe 5b, and the air blowing nozzle pipe 5b is used to spray air to the two processed compressor cylinders to clean iron filings and coolant.

[0045] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0046] The fixture main board 1 is connected to the manipulator and is driven by the manipulator. When installing the unprocessed compressor cylinder, the jaws 3 and the jaw pads 4a in the two three-claw cylinders 2 with the cylinder connecting plates 6 are retracted and extended into the inner hole of the compressor cylinder. When the three jaws 4 are expanded outward, the three jaws 4 can clamp the compressor cylinder. The jaw pads 4a can prevent damage to the inner hole of the compressor cylinder 15, and the flange linear bearing 7a can facilitate the axial sliding of the guide column 7b. When installing the unprocessed compressor cylinder, the nylon buffer plate 7d contacts the end face of the compressor cylinder, giving the compressor cylinder a pressure, ensuring the installation of the compressor cylinder when installing it on the work station. In place, with high installation precision, when it is necessary to disassemble two processed compressor cylinders, the clamping jaws 3 and the clamping jaw pads 4a in the two three-claw cylinders 2 without the cylinder connecting plates 6 are retracted and inserted into the inner hole of the compressor cylinder. When the three clamping jaws 4 are expanded, the three clamping jaws 4 can clamp the compressor cylinder, and the processed compressor cylinder is placed at the next station. The air blowing nozzle pipe 5b is used to spray air to the two processed compressor cylinders to clean iron filings and coolant. The device can disassemble two processed compressor cylinders at a time and then install two unprocessed compressor cylinders. The disassembly and installation of the compressor cylinders are integrated into one fixture, which can greatly improve work efficiency.

[0047] The nylon buffer plate 7d is fixed to the clamping claw floating plate 7c by screws, and the guide post 7b is fixed to the clamping claw floating plate 7c by screws, which makes disassembly and assembly simple and convenient. The guide post baffle 7b1 can prevent the guide post 7b from being separated from the flange linear bearing 7a, which has good safety and stability. The floating spring 7b2 can automatically reset the guide post 7b, the clamping claw floating plate 7c and the nylon buffer plate 7d through the action of elastic force after the guide post 7b slides backward.

[0048] During the clamping process, the clamping claw pad 4a abuts against the inner hole wall of the compressor cylinder. The clamping claw pad 4a is made of nylon material, which can prevent damage to the inner hole of the compressor cylinder. The anti-interference groove 7d1 can prevent the nylon buffer plate 7d from colliding with the clamping claw 3 and the clamping claw pad 4a during movement, which has better safety. The three-jaw cylinder 2 drives the pneumatic claw 2a and the clamping claw 3 to close or separate. Two throttling joints 2b are connected to the side of the three-jaw cylinder 2 for connecting compressed air and exhaust.

[0049] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described, or replace them with similar methods, without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0050] Although this document frequently uses terms such as fixture main plate 1, three-jaw cylinder 2, pneumatic claw 2a, throttle joint 2b, clamping claw 3, clamping claw pad 4, clamping claw pad 4a, air blowing and chip removal structure 5, air blowing nozzle seat 5a, air blowing nozzle pipe 5b, cylinder connecting plate 6, press-type cylinder mounting structure 7, flange linear bearing 7a, guide post 7b, guide post baffle 7b1, floating spring 7b2, clamping claw floating plate 7c, nylon buffer plate 7d, and anti-interference groove 7d1, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. The use of these terms is merely to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present invention.
