[0002] In the semiconductor equipment and mechanical parts manufacturing industry, the machining of circular and ring-shaped parts plays a crucial role. However, the blanks for these parts often exhibit non-circular characteristics, posing challenges to the machining process. Traditional machining methods typically require the design of dedicated consumable tooling to hold these parts. This tooling necessitates loading, unloading, and clamping before each use, increasing tooling costs and worker operating frequency, thereby reducing production efficiency and equipment utilization.

[0003] With the advancement and diversification of semiconductor equipment and the rapid popularization of intelligent manufacturing, the market demand for fixtures that can be quickly applied and are highly versatile is increasing. Traditional dedicated tooling is clearly unable to meet this demand for efficient and flexible production. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new type of clamping device to accommodate the non-circular characteristics of circular and annular part blanks, while reducing tooling costs, minimizing manual operations, and improving production efficiency and equipment utilization.

[0004] Against this backdrop, the present invention proposes a design scheme for an adaptive three-jaw chuck with floating jaws, which aims to achieve stable clamping of circular and annular parts while meeting the requirements of efficient and flexible production. Utility Model Content

[0034] The adaptive three-jaw chuck with floating jaws is designed to reduce tooling costs, minimize manual operations, and improve production efficiency and equipment utilization. This floating jaw adopts a universal design concept, taking into account the non-circular characteristics of disc and ring-shaped part blanks. The jaws are designed to float, automatically adjusting the clamping force to follow changes in the part's contour.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the adaptive three-jaw chuck floating jaws mainly include the following components:

[0036] Connecting plate 1: Made of special steel, it has good rigidity and is not easily deformed, ensuring stability during use. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the connecting plate is divided into three parts, which are connected to the three steel claws of the chuck 16 respectively. Several self-adaptive rotating block 2 mounting positions are provided on the connecting plate from the inside to the outside. Each mounting position is provided with a positioning locking hole 11, which is a threaded hole with a countersunk head.

[0037] Adaptive Rotary Block 2: Made of alloy steel, it boasts high rigidity and a certain degree of toughness, providing greater stability when clamping workpieces. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the adaptive rotating block is an arc-shaped block structure, with steel claws 3 installed at both ends of its inner and outer arc surfaces. A positioning and locking hole 21, which is a stepped smooth hole, is provided on the adaptive rotating block.

[0038] Steel Claw 3: As Figure 5 As shown, the floating jaws are made of tungsten steel, which has high hardness and wear resistance, extending their service life. The steel jaws are connected to the adaptive rotating block via screw assembly E14.

[0039] Pad block assembly: such as Figure 6 As shown, it includes pad group A4, pad group B5, and pad group C6, which have different thickness specifications (2mm, 5mm, 10mm). By stacking them together, they can meet the requirements of various clamping heights for parts.

[0040] Positioning and locking shaft 7: as Figure 7As shown, it is made of alloy steel, which has high rigidity and a certain degree of toughness. The positioning and locking shaft 7 passes through the positioning and locking hole 21 of the adaptive rotating block, and the external thread 71 at its rear end is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the positioning and locking hole 11 of the connecting plate, thereby firmly connecting the adaptive rotating block and the connecting plate together.

[0041] Bushing: such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, it includes a straight bushing 9 and a stepped bushing 8. The straight bushing 9 is embedded in the positioning and locking hole 11 of the connecting plate 1, and the stepped bushing 8 is embedded in the positioning and locking hole 21 of the adaptive rotating block 2 to enhance wear resistance and connection accuracy.

[0042] Screw assemblies: including screw assembly A10, screw assembly B11, screw assembly C12, screw assembly D13, screw assembly E14, and screw assembly F15, generally containing screws and washers, used for interconnection of various parts. This is the most commonly used existing technology in the industry, and the installation and use of screw assemblies will not be described in detail in this article.

[0043] The chuck 16 has three steel jaws for mounting and supporting the connecting disc and the floating jaw structure.

[0044] Installation process of floating jaws for adaptive three-jaw chuck:

[0045] 1. Preparation Stage: Gather all manufactured and standard parts according to the list, including connecting discs, adaptive rotating blocks, steel claws, pad blocks, positioning and locking shafts, bushings, screw assemblies, and chucks. Assembly can only proceed after all manufactured and standard parts have been checked and found to be correct.

[0046] 2. Connection between the steel claw and the adaptive rotating block: Use screw assembly E to connect the steel claw to the adaptive rotating block, ensuring that the steel claw is tightly attached to the adaptive rotating block to form a stable clamping structure.

[0047] 3. Bushing insertion: Insert the straight bushing into the positioning and locking hole of the connecting plate, and insert the stepped bushing into the positioning and locking hole of the adaptive rotating block.

[0048] 4. Connection between the adaptive rotating block and the connecting plate: Use a positioning locking shaft to pass through the positioning locking hole of the adaptive rotating block, and thread the external thread at its rear end to the threaded hole of the positioning locking hole of the connecting plate.

[0049] 5. Installation of connecting plate and chuck: Use screw assembly F to install the connected connecting plate onto the three steel claws of the chuck according to the markings.

[0050] 6. Installation of spacers: Select appropriate spacers for installation based on the diameter of the part to be processed and the required clamping height.

[0051] 7. Part Placement and Clamping: Adjust the position of the connecting plate to allow the part to be smoothly placed into the floating jaws. Then rotate the knob on the chuck; the interaction between the three steel jaws of the chuck and the connecting plate clamps the part. Due to the adaptive rotating block and the floating design of the steel jaws, the jaws can automatically adjust the clamping force according to the contour changes of the part, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0052] This adaptive three-jaw chuck with floating jaws is highly adaptable and versatile, and can significantly reduce tooling costs, reduce manual operation, and improve production efficiency and equipment utilization.
