Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rotary fixture technology, specifically a rotary fixture for CNC lathes. Background Technology
[0002] A rotary fixture for CNC lathes is a precision mechanical device specifically designed for CNC lathes. It is used to clamp and rotate workpieces for various turning, milling, drilling, and other machining operations. This device plays a crucial role in the CNC lathe machining process. A rotary fixture for CNC lathes typically consists of a chuck, clamping mechanism, transmission device, positioning elements, and a control system. The chuck is the core component of the fixture, used to directly clamp the workpiece and securely fix it in place through the clamping mechanism. The transmission device transmits power to the chuck, enabling it to rotate the workpiece. The positioning elements ensure accurate installation and positioning of the fixture on the CNC lathe. The control system receives commands from the CNC lathe and controls the clamping, releasing, and rotating actions of the fixture.
[0003] Since the advent of lathe machining technology, radial runout has been unavoidable during turning. This is mostly caused by insufficient contact between the chuck jaws and the workpiece, resulting in the inability to overcome the radial runout caused by the workpiece's centrifugal force. For steel of general precision, this has little impact. However, for high-precision workpieces, traditional fixtures cannot provide a more stable clamping effect. This may lead to unstable depth of cut during workpiece machining, resulting in uneven cutting depth and potential draft issues, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision machining.

[0006] The clamping mechanism includes a three-jaw outer clamping assembly and an inner support assembly, wherein the three-jaw outer clamping assembly is disposed on one side of the inner support assembly;
[0007] The three-jaw external clamping assembly includes an inner clamping cavity, which is located inside one side of the chuck. An adjustment disc is rotatably connected to the right inner wall of the inner clamping cavity. A three-jaw arc groove is provided on the left side of the adjustment disc. A straight sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the chuck, located on the left side of the inner clamping cavity. A rotating block is slidably connected inside the three-jaw arc groove.

A turntable is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner support claw cavity, and a multi-arc groove is formed on the right side of the turntable. A linear groove is formed on the inner wall of the chuck, located on the right side of the inner support claw cavity. A sliding column is slidably connected inside the linear groove. A sliding table is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding column, and the sliding table is slidably connected inside the multi-arc groove. A slider is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding column, and one end of the slider extends through the inner wall of the chuck to the inner side of the chuck. A top claw is rotatably connected to one end of the slider.
[0010] Preferably, the chuck has a sliding opening on its inner side that is the same size as the slider.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the slider is fixedly connected to a columnar structure, and one end of the columnar structure is provided with a rod-shaped structure, and the top claw is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rod-shaped structure.
[0012] Preferably, the control mechanism includes an external port and a drag rod. The external port is located on the outer wall of the chuck. The drag rod is fixedly connected to the outer walls of the adjusting plate and the turntable, respectively. The drag rod is slidably connected to the external port.

A pressure-delivering pipe is connected between the sleeve and the connecting groove. A pressure source pipe is connected to the outer wall of the transfer ring.
[0013] Preferably, the inner side of the tow rod is provided with a sliding groove.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a rotary fixture for CNC lathes, which has the following advantages:
[0015] The combined design of the three-jaw external clamping assembly and the internal support assembly enables simultaneous inward clamping and outward expansion. This bidirectional clamping mechanism significantly enhances the clamping stability of tubular workpieces, effectively avoiding workpiece loosening or displacement problems that may occur with traditional unidirectional clamping methods, thus ensuring high precision and efficiency during machining. The coordinated work of the three-jaw external clamping assembly and the internal support assembly allows the workpiece to better maintain its original shape and dimensional accuracy under uniformly distributed clamping force. Especially in precision machining processes such as turning, this stable clamping state helps reduce machining errors caused by workpiece deformation or vibration, thereby improving the machining accuracy and quality of the final product.
[0016] By introducing a hydraulic system as the power source, the hydraulic drive makes the clamping process faster and the pressure transmission more uniform, ensuring the stability and accuracy of tubular workpieces during processing. This efficient and stable clamping method helps improve production efficiency and reduce scrap rate. The use of a transfer ring and pressure-distributing pipe solves the problem of hydraulic transmission during chuck rotation. This ensures that hydraulic pressure can continuously and stably act on the clamping table and slide during chuck rotation, thereby achieving continuous and uniform clamping of the workpiece. This improves the practicality and reliability of the fixture. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. Example
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rotary fixture for a CNC lathe, including a chuck 1, a clamping mechanism 2 inside the chuck 1, and a control mechanism 3 outside the chuck 1;
[0027] The clamping mechanism 2 includes a three-jaw outer clamping assembly 21 and an inner support assembly 22, with the three-jaw outer clamping assembly 21 disposed on one side of the inner support assembly 22;
[0028] The three-jaw external clamping assembly 21 includes an inner clamping cavity 201, which is located inside one side of the chuck 1. An adjusting plate 202 is rotatably connected to the right inner wall of the inner clamping cavity 201. A three-jaw arc groove 203 is provided on the left side of the adjusting plate 202. A straight sliding groove 204 is provided on the inner wall of the chuck 1, located on the left side of the inner clamping cavity 201. A rotating block 205 is slidably connected inside the three-jaw arc groove 203. A square block 206 is slidably connected inside the straight sliding groove 204. The square block 206 and the rotating block 205 are connected to each other. A clamping platform 207 is fixedly connected between 05. One end of the clamping platform 207 extends through the inner wall of the chuck 1 to the inner side of the chuck 1. A rotating jaw 208 is rotatably connected to one end of the clamping platform 207. After the adjustment plate 202 is rotated, the three-jaw arc groove 203 pushes the rotating block 205 to move. The rotating block 205 drives the clamping platform 207 to move. The square block 206 restricts the movement trajectory of the clamping platform 207, so that the rotating jaws 208 can approach each other directly. The rotating jaws 208 can rotate to better fit the outer surface of the workpiece.
[0029] Furthermore, the chuck 1 has a sliding opening on its inner side that is the same size as the clamping platform 207.
[0030] Furthermore, the inner support assembly 22 includes an inner support claw cavity 221, which is located inside the chuck 1 on the side away from the inner clamping cavity 201. A turntable 222 is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner support claw cavity 221. A multi-arc groove 223 is formed on the right side of the turntable 222. A linear groove 224 is formed on the inner wall of the chuck 1, located on the right side of the inner support claw cavity 221. A sliding column 225 is slidably connected inside the linear groove 224. A sliding table 226 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding column 225. 226 is slidably connected inside the multi-arc groove 223. A slider 227 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding column 225. One end of the slider 227 extends through the inner wall of the chuck 1 to the inner side of the chuck 1. A top claw 228 is rotatably connected to one end of the slider 227. The inner support component 22 and the three-jaw outer clamping component 21 are arranged in opposite directions to facilitate the movement of the slider 227 and the clamping platform 207 in opposite directions when the turntable 222 and the adjusting plate 202 move in the same direction. The inner support component 22 and the three-jaw outer clamping component 21 work on the same principle.
[0031] Furthermore, the chuck 1 has a sliding opening on its inner side that is the same size as the slider 227.
[0032] Furthermore, a columnar structure is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 227, and a rod-shaped structure is provided at one end of the columnar structure, with the top claw 228 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rod-shaped structure. Example
[0033] Please see Figure 1-5Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, the control mechanism 3 includes an external port 301 and a drag bar 302. The external port 301 is located on the outer wall of the chuck 1. The drag bar 302 is fixedly connected to the outer walls of the adjusting plate 202 and the turntable 222, respectively. The drag bar 302 is slidably connected to the external port 301. A diversion box 303 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chuck 1. A connecting groove 304 is provided inside the diversion box 303. A sliding rod 305 is slidably connected inside the connecting groove 304. A traction block 306 is rotatably connected to the end of the sliding rod 305. The traction block 306 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the drag bar 302. A transfer ring 307 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the chuck 1. A sleeve plate 308 is rotatably connected to the side. A pressure-receiving pipe 309 is connected between the sleeve plate 308 and the connecting groove 304. A pressure source pipe 310 is connected to the outer wall of the transmission ring 307. The transmission ring 307 is used to transmit hydraulic pressure so that the chuck 1 will not be interfered with by the pressure-receiving pipe 309 during rotation. The hydraulic pressure is delivered to the inside of the connecting groove 304 through the transmission ring 307. The hydraulic pressure drives the clamping platform 207 and the slider 227 to produce displacement. After the clamping platform 207 and the slider 227 both come into contact with the workpiece, the hydraulic pressure can be used to clamp the workpiece. The clamping process is quick and the pressure is transmitted evenly, which can ensure that the tubular workpiece is clamped better, thus facilitating precision machining.
[0034] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the tow bar 302.
[0035] In actual operation, when this device is used, since the pressure supply device is generally fixed, in order to avoid the difficulty in transmitting hydraulic pressure when the chuck 1 rotates, the user can fix the transmission ring 307 and use the movement of the pressure delivery pipe 309 to drive the rotation of the sleeve plate 308 to counteract the interference. The user places the tubular workpiece between the outside of the top claw 228 and the inside of the rotating claw 208. Then, the user applies hydraulic pressure to the pressure source pipe 310, and the hydraulic pressure pushes the slide rod 305 to move. The slide rod 305 drives the adjustment plate 202 and the turntable 222 to rotate. Since the hydraulic drive of the adjustment plate 202 and the turntable 222 is connected, they can be subjected to the same force and can clamp the workpiece at the same time, providing stability for workpiece processing.
