DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, if there is a description of first and second, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0031] The following reference Figure 1 To the attached Figure 3 , describing the locking structure of the rotating assembly of the first embodiment of the utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The locking structure of the rotating assembly of this embodiment includes: a base 100, a rotating assembly 200 and a locking assembly 300. The rotating assembly 200 includes a first rotating shaft 210. The first rotating shaft 210 is rotatably installed on the base 100, and the upper end protrudes from the base 100. The upper end of the first rotating shaft 210 is used to fix the workpiece or the workpiece carrier; the locking assembly 300 includes a rotating member 310, an abutting member 320 and a counterweight member 330. The side of the rotating assembly 200 is provided with a A locking surface is provided, and the rotating member 310 is rotatably set on the base 100 through the second rotating shaft. The abutment 320 and the counterweight 330 are set on the rotating member 310 and are respectively located on both sides of the base 100. When the rotating assembly 200 is in a locked state, the abutment 320 abuts the locking surface, and the torque of the gravity of the counterweight 330 on the second rotating shaft is greater than the torque of the gravity of the abutment 320 on the second rotating shaft, so that the abutment 320 can maintain abutment with the locking surface. By rotating the rotating member 310 and setting it on the base 100, and setting the abutment 320 and the counterweight 330 on both sides of the base 100, the counterweight 330 moves downward under the action of its own gravity, thereby driving the end of the rotating member 310 connected to the counterweight 330 to rotate downward, and then the end of the rotating member 310 connected to the abutment 320 rotates upward, thereby driving the abutment 320 to move upward, so that the side wall of the abutment 320 abuts against the side wall of the rotating assembly 200, and the friction between the abutment 320 and the rotating assembly 200 hinders the rotation of the rotating assembly 200, thereby locking the rotating assembly 200.

[0033] Combine Figure 2 Specifically, a bolt is inserted through the rotating member 310 and is threadedly connected to the base 100. The smooth rod portion of the bolt is inserted through the rotating member 310, allowing the rotating member 310 to rotate relative to the bolt, and thus the rotating member 310 to rotate relative to the base 100. In this case, the bolt serves as the second rotating shaft. It is understood that a first adapter portion may be provided on the base 100, and a second adapter portion may be provided on the rotating member 310. The first adapter portion may be rotatably mounted on the second adapter portion. In this case, the second adapter portion serves as the second rotating shaft. Of course, the second adapter portion may also be rotatably mounted on the first adapter portion. In this case, the first adapter portion serves as the second rotating shaft.

[0034] It is understandable that the distance between the counterweight 330 and the second rotating shaft is greater than the distance between the abutment 320 and the second rotating shaft. Based on the principle of leverage, it is understandable that the above arrangement enables the counterweight 330 to better drive the rotating member 310 to rotate. Moreover, compared to the case where the distance between the counterweight 330 and the second rotating shaft is less than or equal to the distance between the abutment 320 and the second rotating shaft, the counterweight 330 can also achieve the effect of driving the rotating member 310 to rotate when the weight of the counterweight 330 is less than the weight of the abutment 320, thereby reducing the raw materials of the counterweight 330, saving manufacturing costs, and making the locking structure of the rotating assembly of the embodiment of the utility model more lightweight.

[0035] Specifically, the weight of the counterweight 330 is greater than the weight of the abutting member 320 . This configuration enables the abutting member 320 to abut the rotating assembly 200 more compactly, thereby enhancing the locking effect.

[0036] It is understood that the rotating assembly 200 further includes a locking sleeve 220. The locking sleeve 220 is located above the base 100 and is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 210. The locking sleeve 220 is capable of rotating with the first rotating shaft 210, and the locking surface is provided on the locking sleeve 220. The provision of the locking sleeve 220 shortens the distance between the rotating assembly 200 and the abutment member 320, making it easier for the abutment member 320 to abut against the side wall of the rotating assembly 200. It is understood that the locking sleeve 220 can be threadedly connected to the first rotating shaft 210, or it can be loosely fitted with the first rotating shaft 210.

[0037] It is understood that multiple locking surfaces are provided and distributed along the circumference of the locking sleeve 220, so that the outer contour of the cross section of the locking sleeve 220 is polygonal. This arrangement allows the locking sleeve 220 to abut against the abutment 320 in the form of a surface, making it difficult for the locking sleeve 220 to rotate relative to the abutment 320, thereby enhancing the locking effect of the locking structure. Figure 2Specifically, eight locking surfaces are provided, and the outer contour of the cross-section of the locking sleeve 220 is an octagon. When the abutment member 320 sequentially abuts against the eight locking surfaces of the locking sleeve 220, the rotating assembly 200 can be locked eight times during one rotation. This allows the eight surfaces of a workpiece positioned on the rotating assembly 200 to sequentially face the processing structure, thereby fully processing the workpiece surface. It is understood that the number of locking surfaces can be increased or decreased according to production requirements.

[0038] It is understood that the rotating member 310 includes two rotating plates 311, which are respectively rotatably arranged on both sides of the base 100, and the abutment member 320 is connected to the two rotating plates 311 at both ends and is horizontally arranged on one side of the base 100. By setting two rotating plates 311 and horizontally arranging the abutment member 320 between the two rotating plates 311, when the rotating member 310 drives the abutment member 320 to rotate, the force on the abutment member 320 is more balanced and the locking structure is more stable. Figure 2 Specifically, the screws are threadedly connected to the rotating plate 311 and the abutting member 320 in sequence to fix the abutting member 320 on the rotating plate 311. Figure 3 Specifically, the rotating plate 311 is L-shaped. When the abutting member 320 abuts the locking sleeve 220, one side of the L-shaped rotating plate 311 is perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 210, and the other side is parallel to the first rotating shaft 210. With this arrangement, when the abutting member 320 is a long plate, a flat surface of the abutting member 320 can fit against the side wall of the locking sleeve 220, thereby increasing the contact area between the abutting member 320 and the locking sleeve 220 and enhancing the locking effect.

[0039] It is understandable that the counterweight 330 includes a counterweight block 331 and a fixed shaft 332, and the fixed shaft 332 is respectively provided through the counterweight block 331 and the rotating plate 311. Specifically, the counterweight block 331 and the fixed shaft 332 are clearance-fitted or threadedly connected.

[0040] It is understood that the rotating assembly 200 further includes a bearing 230, which is disposed between the base 100 and the first rotating shaft 210. By providing the bearing 230, the first rotating shaft 210 can rotate more stably.

[0041] The following combination Figure 4The rotary table of the second embodiment of the present invention includes a lifting drive mechanism, a push rod 420 and a locking structure of the rotating assembly of the first aspect. The push rod 420 is located below the counterweight 330 and is provided on the lifting drive mechanism. The lifting drive mechanism is used to drive the push rod 420 to move upward to the lifting drive member 440. After the rotary table is rotated to a certain angle, it can be firmly fixed and will not rotate freely during the processing, so as to improve the processing quality and yield rate. Moreover, when the rotary table needs to be rotated, the push rod 420 can lift the drive member 440 to drive the abutment member 320 to move downward, thereby releasing the locking state of the rotary table. This can achieve the effect of locking the worktable without affecting the normal operation of the worktable and is easy to operate.

[0042] It can be understood that the rotating workbench of the second aspect embodiment of the utility model also includes a rotating drive component 410, which is arranged on the jacking drive mechanism, and the driving end of the rotating drive component 410 is located below the first rotating shaft 210. The rotating drive component 410 can move upward under the drive of the jacking drive mechanism so that the driving end is engaged with the first rotating shaft 210.

[0043] Combine Figure 4 Specifically, the lifting drive mechanism also includes a lifting plate 430 and a lifting drive member 440. The lifting rod 420 and the rotation drive assembly 410 are both mounted on the lifting plate 430. The lifting plate 430 is connected to the driving end of the lifting drive member 440, so that the lifting rod 420 and the rotation drive assembly 410 can move upward synchronously, allowing the unlocking state and the rotation of the rotary table to be released simultaneously, thereby improving efficiency. At the same time, the structure of the rotary table of this embodiment is more compact.

[0044] It is understood that a protrusion 211 is provided on the side wall of the lower end of the first rotating shaft 210, a slot 411 for accommodating the lower end of the first rotating shaft 210 is provided on the upper portion of the driving end of the rotary driving assembly 410, and an opening 412 for engaging the protrusion 211 is provided on the side wall of the slot 411. Figure 4 Specifically, when the rotation drive assembly 410 moves upward, the lower end of the first rotating shaft 210 is accommodated in the card slot 411, and the protrusion 211 is accommodated in the opening 412, so that the first rotating shaft 210 is clamped on the driving end of the rotation drive assembly 410. When the rotation drive assembly 410 rotates, the protrusion 211 abuts against the side wall of the opening 412 to prevent the first rotating shaft 210 and the driving end of the rotation assembly from rotating relative to each other, so that the rotation drive assembly 410 drives the first rotating shaft 210 to rotate.

[0045] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
