[0018] The following is a more detailed description of a self-centering vise with adjustable center according to the present invention, with reference to the schematic diagrams, which illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the present invention described herein while still achieving the beneficial effects of the present invention. Therefore, the following description should be understood as being of general knowledge to those skilled in the art and is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0019] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a self-centering vise with adjustable center includes a self-centering vise body 1, a left nut slider 2, a right nut slider 3, a forward and reverse threaded screw 4, a screw seat 5, a limiting pin 6, a key 7, a V-block 8, a pad 9, a left threaded sleeve 10, and a right threaded sleeve 11.
[0020] refer to Figure 2A groove is provided on the upper surface of the self-centering vise body 1, extending inward from the left end face to the right end face. Slide rails are provided on opposite sides of the groove. The screw seat 5 is fixed here with bolts. The threaded screw 4 is located inside the groove and fixed by the screw seat 5. Specifically, the screw seat 5 has two limiting pins 6 inside, fixed to the bottom of the groove and located on both sides of the threaded screw 4. An annular limiting groove 14 is recessed in the middle of the threaded screw 4. The limiting pins 6 on both sides of the threaded screw 4 extend into the annular limiting groove 14, thereby limiting the length of the threaded screw 4.
[0021] Located at both ends of the groove, the left nut slider 2 and the right nut slider are slidably connected to the slide rail, and the left threaded sleeve 10 and the right threaded sleeve 11 are threadedly connected inside the left nut slider 2 and the right nut slider 3, respectively. The left threaded sleeve 10 and the right threaded sleeve 11 are threadedly connected to the external threads at both ends of the positive and negative thread screw 4, respectively.
[0022] refer to Figure 3 Keyways are provided at the top of both the left nut slider 2 and the right nut slider 3. Keys 7 are placed in the keyways for positioning. With the setting of keys 7, the two V-blocks 8 can be accurately positioned on the upper surfaces of the left nut slider 2 and the right nut slider 3.
[0023] The two V-blocks 8 are positioned opposite each other as clamping ports. The four pads 9 are detachably fixed to the four inclined surfaces to prevent the workpiece from directly contacting the V-blocks 8, which would cause wear and increase friction.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the self-centering vise of this utility model achieves fine adjustment of the vise's clamping center through the left threaded sleeve 10, right threaded sleeve 11, left nut slider 2, and right nut slider 3 in conjunction with the positive and negative threaded screws 4 and the slide rail. The specific structure is as follows:
[0025] There is a pitch difference between the inner and outer thread pitches of the left and right threaded sleeves 10 and 11, which can be set to 0.1 mm. The inner threads of the left and right threaded sleeves 10 and 11 are the same as the outer threads at both ends of the screw rod 4, respectively. The pitch of the outer threads of the left and right threaded sleeves 11 is the same as the pitch of the inner threads of the left nut slider 2 and the right nut slider 3, respectively. When the screw rod is rotated in the locked state, the two nut sliders slide synchronously, and the clamping center position of the V-block 8 remains unchanged.
[0026] After loosening any one of the threaded sleeves and rotating it by an angle, let the rotation angle be θ. Then, the nut slider on the loosened side will move a corresponding distance X, where X = 0.1 * θ / 360. We have evenly distributed positioning holes 13 on the left side of the left threaded sleeve 10 and the right side of the right threaded sleeve 11, arranged in a circular array. We also fix threaded sleeve limiting plates 12 that mate with the positioning holes 13 on the left side of the left nut slider 2 and the right side of the right nut slider 3. These limiting plates 12 also have positioning holes, which can connect with the positioning holes 13 on the side of the nut slider after any rotation angle, thus achieving positioning. This invention, through the setting of these positioning holes, can achieve fine-tuning with an accuracy within 0.005 mm.
[0027] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions and contents disclosed in this utility model without departing from the scope of the technical solutions of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
