[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a workpiece centering and straightening device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a workpiece body 1 and a pair of fixed frames 11; electric push rods 12 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the fixed frames 11; multiple sets of electric push rods 12 are arranged on the side walls of the fixed frames 11; a V-block 13 is detachably installed on the transmission end of a set of electric push rods 12; the V-block 13 slides in the middle of the fixed frame 11; the side walls of the pair of V-blocks 13 close to each other clamp the workpiece body 1; a clamping assembly is provided at the bottom of the workpiece body 1; a fixing assembly is provided at the bottom of the workpiece body 1; during operation, the workpiece body is... 1. Placed between a pair of V-blocks 13, the electric push rod 12 is turned on. The electric push rod 12 drives the V-blocks 13 to move closer to each other. The V-blocks 13 contact the side wall of the workpiece body 1 and automatically position the workpiece to the center. The clamping assembly and the fixing assembly fix the workpiece. This step, through the setting of the fixing frame 11, the electric push rod 12 and the V-blocks 13, forms a centering and correction structure, which realizes that the workpiece is automatically moved to the center when clamped, solves the problem of manual positioning during workpiece processing, improves the accuracy of workpiece processing, and simplifies the workpiece centering operation steps.
[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping assembly includes a base 2, a clamping frame 21, and a first spring 22. The base 2 is connected to the bottom of the workpiece body 1 via a fixing assembly. The clamping frame 21 is slidably connected to the side wall of the base 2. A pair of clamping frames 21 are arranged symmetrically on the side wall of the base 2. The first spring 22 is fixedly connected to the ends of the pair of clamping frames 21 that are close to each other. A pair of first springs 22 are arranged symmetrically inside the base 2. A pressure assembly is provided on the top of the clamping frame 21. During operation, the pair of clamping frames 21 are pulled to both sides, and the workpiece is placed on the top of the base 2 so that the workpiece does not directly contact the machine tool. The first spring 22 drives the clamping frames 21 to move closer to each other to clamp and fix the workpiece. The pressure assembly presses the workpiece on the top of the base 2. When the workpiece is aligned, it drives the base 2 to move. This step, through the arrangement of the base 2, the clamping frame 21, and the first spring 22, forms a workpiece clamping structure, realizing the function of clamping, fixing, and supporting the workpiece. It solves the problem of scratches caused by friction between the workpiece and the machine tool, improves the integrity of the bottom of the workpiece during processing, and reduces the occurrence of scratches on the bottom when the workpiece is aligned.
[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the pressing assembly includes a second spring 3, a guide rod 31, and a pressure plate 32. The second spring 3 is fixedly connected to the inside of the clamping frame 21 away from the base 2. A pair of second springs 3 are arranged symmetrically inside the clamping frame 21. The bottom end of the guide rod 31 is fixedly connected to the end of the second spring 3 away from the clamping frame 21. The bottom of the pressure plate 32 is fixedly connected to the top end of the guide rod 31. During operation, when the workpiece is clamped and fixed on the top of the base 2, the pressure plate 32 is lifted. The pressure plate 32 drives the guide rod 31 to move upward and stretches the second spring 3. After the base 2 is placed on top of the workpiece body 1, the pressure plate 32 is released. The second spring 3 drives the guide rod 31 and the pressure plate 32 downward to press the workpiece on the top of the base 2. This step, through the arrangement of the second spring 3, the guide rod 31, and the pressure plate 32, forms a pressing structure, realizing the function of fixing the workpiece. It solves the problem that workpieces of different sizes are not firmly fixed on the top of the base 2, improves the adaptability of the device to workpieces of different sizes, and improves the stability of the workpiece when it is fixed on the top of the base 2.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixing assembly includes a top rod 4, a suction cup 41, and a third spring 42. The top rod 4 is slidably connected to the top of the base 2. Multiple sets of top rods 4 are arranged symmetrically on the top of the base 2. The suction cup 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the top rod 4. One end of the third spring 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top rod 4. The other end of the third spring 42 is fixedly connected to the inside of the base 2. During operation, when the workpiece is placed on the top of the base 2, the suction cup 41 contacts and adheres to the bottom of the workpiece. The suction cup 41 drives the second spring 3 to move downward and compress the third spring 42. After the workpiece is processed and removed, the third spring 42 drives the top rod 4 and the suction cup 41 to reset. This step, through the arrangement of the top rod 4, the suction cup 41, and the third spring 42, forms an adsorption fixing structure, realizing the function of adsorbing and fixing the workpiece, solving the problem of workpiece displacement on the top of the base 2, and improving the stability of the workpiece on the top of the base 2.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the base 2 is connected to a rolling ball 5; multiple sets of balls 5 are set at the bottom of the base 2 and are evenly distributed at the bottom of the base 2; during operation, after the workpiece body 1 is clamped on the top of the base 2, when the V-block 13 performs the centering operation on the workpiece body 1, the V-block 13 squeezes the side wall of the workpiece body 1 and drives the base 2 to move on the machine tool, and the balls 5 convert static friction into rolling friction; this step, through the setting of the balls 5, converts the static friction of the base 2 when moving into rolling friction, improves the smoothness of the movement of the base 2 and the workpiece body 1, and reduces the abnormal wear of the base 2 and the machine tool surface caused by static friction.
[0028] like Figure 3As shown, a gasket 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 32. During operation, when the pressure plate 32 presses down on the workpiece body 1, the gasket 6 contacts the workpiece body 1, increasing the contact area between the pressure plate 32 and the workpiece body 1. This step, through the setting of the gasket 6, increases the contact area between the pressure plate 32 and the workpiece body 1, improves the stability of the pressure plate 32 when pressing down on the workpiece body 1, and reduces the possibility of the workpiece body 1 shifting.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the V-block 13 is made of metal. During operation, the V-block 13 is made of metal, which increases the structural strength of the V-block 13, improves the service life of the V-block 13, and reduces the plastic deformation of the V-block 13.
[0030] During operation, the workpiece body 1 is placed between a pair of V-blocks 13. The electric actuator 12 is activated, causing the V-blocks 13 to move closer together. The V-blocks 13 contact the sidewalls of the workpiece body 1, automatically centering the workpiece. The clamping and fixing components then secure the workpiece. The pair of clamping frames 21 are pulled to the sides, placing the workpiece on top of the base 2, ensuring no direct contact between the workpiece and the machine tool. The first spring 22 causes the clamping frames 21 to move closer together, clamping and fixing the workpiece. The pressure assembly presses the workpiece onto the top of the base 2. When the workpiece is centered, the base 2 moves. When the workpiece is clamped and fixed on top of the base 2, the pressure plate 32 is lifted. The pressure plate 32 causes the guide rod 31 to move upwards and stretches the second spring 3. After the base 2 is placed on top of the workpiece body 1, the pressure plate 32 is released. The second spring 3 then moves the guide rod 31 and the pressure plate... 32. Press the workpiece downwards onto the top of the base 2. When the workpiece is placed on the top of the base 2, the suction cup 41 contacts and adheres to the bottom of the workpiece. The suction cup 41 drives the second spring 3 to move downwards and compress the third spring 42. After the workpiece is processed and removed, the third spring 42 drives the push rod 4 and the suction cup 41 to reset. After the workpiece body 1 is clamped on the top of the base 2, when the V-block 13 performs the centering operation on the workpiece body 1, the V-block 13 squeezes the side wall of the workpiece body 1, causing the base 2 to move on the machine tool. The ball 5 converts static friction into rolling friction. When the pressure plate 32 presses down on the workpiece body 1, the shim 6 contacts the workpiece body 1, increasing the contact area between the pressure plate 32 and the workpiece body 1. The V-block 13 is made of metal, which increases the structural strength of the V-block 13, improves the service life of the V-block 13, and reduces the plastic deformation of the V-block 13.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
