Description

Therefore, the positioning device affects both the positioning accuracy of the workpiece during subsequent machining processes and the dimensional and positional tolerances of the finished product. Current technology primarily uses positioners in conjunction with fixed fixtures to achieve automatic positioning of the workpiece.
[0003] However, due to the precise fit between the fixed fixture and the workpiece, it is only suitable for situations where robots are used for loading and unloading. Currently, manual loading and unloading of workpieces still relies on hoisting, which leads to significant placement errors and makes it impossible to accurately position the workpiece on the positioning fixture. Especially in valve body components, for rotating workpieces, the orientation and angle of the workpiece must be confirmed, further extending the time for loading and positioning. Moreover, manual confirmation of the orientation and angle of the workpiece can result in significant deviations, leading to a decrease in the accuracy of the finished product's form and position tolerances, which greatly limits production efficiency and product quality.

[0036] In existing technologies, the first step in machining a workpiece is to position and clamp it. The positioning device affects both the positioning accuracy of the workpiece during subsequent machining processes and the dimensional and positional tolerances of the finished product. Due to the large weight of the workpiece, workers typically use hoisting methods to load and unload it.
[0037] Among the valve body components, especially rotating parts such as the valve core and valve seat, the requirements for concentricity and roundness are high. Before processing, it is necessary to confirm the direction and angle of the workpiece, which further prolongs the time for loading and positioning the workpiece. Moreover, manual confirmation of the direction and angle of the workpiece can have significant deviations, leading to a decrease in the accuracy of the finished product's form and position tolerances, which greatly limits production efficiency and product quality.
[0038] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a centering and positioning device for rotating workpieces. The centering and positioning device includes a positioning mechanism 100 and a centering and positioning mechanism 200.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the displacement mechanism 100 includes a flange plate 110, a seat plate 120, a rotating assembly 130, and a support mounted on the lower surface of the seat plate 120. The flange plate 110 and the seat plate 120 are arranged parallel to each other and connected by the rotating assembly 130. The flange plate 110 is located above the seat plate 120 and is rotatable relative to the seat plate 120.
[0040] Furthermore, the flange plate 110 and the seat plate 120 are arranged to coincide with the central axis. The flange plate 110 is located at the top of the displacement mechanism 100. The centering and positioning mechanism 200 is fixed to the upper surface of the flange plate 110. Moreover, the centering and positioning mechanism 200 is symmetrically distributed with respect to the rotation axis of the flange plate 110.
[0041] Furthermore, the centering and positioning mechanism 200 is provided with a clamp 220 and a positioning fixture 210. At least the clamp 224 of the clamp 220 extends above the positioning fixture 210 and is used to clamp a rotating workpiece placed on the upper surface of the positioning fixture 210.
[0042] In this embodiment, the centering and positioning mechanism 200 can set the central axis of the rotating workpiece to coincide with the axis of symmetry of the displacement mechanism 100. The displacement mechanism 100 can automatically rotate and align the reference position of the rotating workpiece, replacing the step of manually confirming the direction and angle of the rotating workpiece during manual loading. This avoids deviations caused by human factors, improving both loading efficiency and positioning accuracy.
[0043] Based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of this utility model introduces a centering and displacement device for a rotating workpiece.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the positioning fixture 210 includes a base 211 and a positioning strip 212. The base 211 is a square flat plate. The positioning strip 212 is an arc shape. The positioning fixture 210 is arranged with its lower surface parallel to the surface of the flange plate 110.
[0045] Specifically, the base 211 of the positioning fixture 210 is parallel to the flange plate 110. Furthermore, the base 211 is fixed to the flange plate 110 at intervals.
[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamp 220 includes two grippers 224 that can move synchronously toward or away from each other.
[0047] The clamp 220 passes through the gap between the positioning fixture 210 and the flange plate 110. Furthermore, the clamp 220 is fixedly connected to the flange plate 110. The fixture 224 extends from the end of the clamp 220 protruding from the positioning fixture 210 to above the positioning fixture 210.
[0048] Based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of this utility model introduces a centering and displacement device for a rotating workpiece.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the centering and positioning mechanism 200 further includes floating components 240 for centering. The flange plate 110 is square. Four floating components 240 are evenly distributed at the apex corners of the flange plate 110. The lower end of the floating component 240 is connected to the flange plate 110, and the upper end of the floating component 240 is connected to the positioning fixture 210.
[0050] The floating component 240 is controlled by a solenoid valve to switch between a floating state and a fixed state. For example, before the workpiece is placed on the positioning fixture 210, the clamps 224 of the clamp 220 are in the open position, and the positioning fixture 210 is fixed by the floating component 240, which can prevent relative movement between the workpiece and the positioning fixture 210 during hoisting. After the workpiece is placed on the positioning fixture 210, the floating component 240 is controlled to switch to the floating state, then the clamps 224 of the clamp 220 are controlled to close together to clamp the workpiece, and then the floating component 240 is controlled to switch from the floating state to the fixed state, thus completing the centering of the workpiece.
[0051] The intelligent camera takes pictures of the marker position for comparison, calculates the rotation angle, and finally controls the displacement mechanism 100 to drive the positioning fixture 210, clamp 220, floating component 240 and the workpiece to be processed to rotate together to the target angle, so as to achieve precise positioning of the workpiece.
[0052] Based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of the present invention introduces a simple displacement mechanism 100.
[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the displacement mechanism 100 includes a base plate 120 and a rotating assembly 130.
[0054] Specifically, the seat plates 120 are arranged parallel to each other below the flange plate 110. The upper end of the rotating assembly 130 is connected to the flange plate 110, and the lower end of the rotating assembly 130 is connected to the seat plate 120.
[0055] Furthermore, the rotating assembly 130 is configured as an annular structure having an inner ring 131 and an outer ring 132. The outer ring 132 is rotatably fitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the inner ring 131. The lower end face of the inner ring 131 is connected to the seat plate 120. The upper end face of the outer ring 132 is connected to the flange plate 110.
[0056] Based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of the present invention introduces a displacement mechanism 100 capable of automatic rotation.
[0057] The rotating assembly 130 includes a drive gear 140 disposed on the base plate 120. The outer circumferential surface of the outer ring 132 is provided with teeth. The drive gear 140 is drively connected to the outer ring 132.
[0058] Furthermore, a motor is mounted on the base plate 120. The output shaft of the motor is fixed to the drive gear 140. The motor drives the drive gear 140 to rotate, thereby driving the outer ring 132 to rotate relative to the inner ring 131. In addition, a positioning pin is also provided on the base plate 120. The positioning pin is located below the base plate 120 and can move upward relative to the base plate 120 until the top of the positioning pin is embedded in the flange plate 110.
[0059] Based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of this utility model introduces a centering and displacement device for a rotating workpiece.
[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamp 220 is provided with a linkage component 230 for causing the plurality of clamps 224 to move synchronously.
[0061] Specifically, the linkage component 230 includes at least one adapter gear 231 and two racks 232.
[0062] Two racks 232 are symmetrically arranged relative to the adapter gear 231. Furthermore, each rack 232 is drive-connected to the adapter gear 231. The central axis of the adapter gear 231 coincides with the axis of symmetry of the clamp 220. Each rack 232 is connected to a corresponding clamp 224.
[0063] Specifically, the linkage assembly 230 also includes a connecting block. The connecting block is located at the center of symmetry of the clamp 220. The connecting block is cubic and has a recessed groove extending downward from the top surface of the cube. The adapter gear 231 is rotatably mounted in the groove of the connecting block. The connecting block also has two horizontally oriented through holes through which a rack 232 slidably passes. The teeth of the rack 232 mesh with the adapter gear 231.
[0064] Based on the above embodiments, another embodiment of this utility model introduces a centering and displacement device for a rotating workpiece.
[0065] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamp 220 also includes a guide rail 222 and a cylinder 223. Two clamps 224 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the clamp 220. Each clamp 224 has a guide rail 222 at its bottom. The two clamps 224 are connected by a connecting assembly, allowing them to move synchronously relative to the center of symmetry of the clamp 220. The telescopic shaft of the cylinder 223 is fixedly connected to either clamp 224, and the two clamps 224 can be controlled to clamp and position the workpiece by controlling the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 223.
[0066] Furthermore, the clamp 224 is provided with a roller 225. The outer periphery of the roller 225 protrudes from the clamp 224 at a position opposite to the axis of symmetry of the clamp 220.
[0067] Specifically, the positioning fixture 210 includes a base 211, a pad 213, and a positioning strip 212 mounted on the base 211. The base 211 is a square flat plate. The pad 213 is made of soft materials such as leather or plastic.
[0068] The positioning strip 212 is arc-shaped. A plurality of positioning strips 212 are evenly spaced along a circumference coinciding with the arc. Preferably, a pad 213 is installed on the upper surface of the positioning strip 212. Along the radial direction of the circle containing the positioning strip 212, the height of the positioning strip 212 increases progressively from the center to the outer perimeter.
[0069] In this embodiment, a soft material and rollers 225 are added to the part of the centering and positioning device that comes into contact with the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from being scratched.
[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, an assembly hole penetrating the surface of the flange plate 110 is provided in the middle. The lower surface of the clamp 220 is provided with a protrusion 221 for assembly positioning. When the clamp 220 is fixed to the flange plate 110, the protrusion 221 is inserted into the assembly hole.
[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
