Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic fixtures, and in particular to an automatic fixture for CNC machining. Background Technology

[0002] In the CNC machine tool machining process, the fixation and positioning of the workpiece is one of the key factors to ensure machining accuracy and efficiency. The air cushion guide is a modern mechanical experimental instrument. It uses a small air source to send compressed air into the inner cavity of the guide and sprays air out through small holes on the surface of the guide, forming a very thin air cushion layer between the guide surface and the slide, so that the slide floats on the air cushion layer and makes a near-resistance-free linear motion.

[0003] Existing machining fixtures often have simple structures when clamping air cushion guide rails, clamping the guide rails from only two positions. This can easily lead to the guide rails not being properly secured and affect subsequent machining. Therefore, we propose an automatic fixture for CNC machining to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic fixture for CNC machining to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic fixture for CNC machining includes: a worktable, a plurality of movable bars slidably connected to the top of the worktable, two fixed posts fixedly connected to the top of each of the movable bars, rotating plates rotatably connected to the outer sides of each of the fixed posts, and abutment blocks slidably connected to the inner sides of each of the movable bars, clamping blocks fixedly connected to one end of each of the rotating plates, and two rotating plates on the same side having one end movably abutting against the same abutment block, springs fixedly connected to the top of each of the movable bars, the other ends of each of the springs fixedly connected to the corresponding abutment block, and fixed cylinders fixedly connected to one side of each of the abutment blocks, with sliding rods slidably connected to the inner sides of each of the fixed cylinders, and one side of each sliding rod fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding movable bar.

[0007] Preferably, multiple No. 1 frames are fixedly connected to the top of the workbench, and the same rotating roller is rotatably connected between two No. 1 frames located on the same side. A No. 1 connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the multiple rotating rollers, and a No. 1 column is rotatably connected to the other end of each of the multiple No. 1 connecting rods. A No. 2 connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the multiple No. 2 connecting rods, and a No. 2 column is rotatably connected to the other end of each of the multiple No. 2 columns. A movable frame is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the multiple No. 2 columns, and two movable frames located on the same side are fixedly connected to the outer side of the same movable bar.

[0008] Preferably, multiple motors are fixedly connected to the top of the workbench, and each of the output ends of the multiple motors is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. A worm gear is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the multiple rotating shafts, and a worm wheel meshes with the outer side of each of the multiple worm gears. The inner side of each of the multiple worm wheels is fixedly connected to the inner side of a corresponding rotating roller.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the workbench is provided with multiple guide grooves, and guide blocks are slidably connected to the inner side of each of the multiple guide grooves, and the tops of the multiple guide blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom of the corresponding movable frame.

[0010] Preferably, a base is fixedly connected to both sides of the workbench, and a controller is fixedly connected to the top of the base near the right side of the workbench. The controller is electrically connected to the motor.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the workbench is fixedly connected to multiple U-shaped frames, the inner sides of the multiple U-shaped frames are rotatably connected to the outer sides of the corresponding rotating shafts, and the top of the workbench is fixedly connected to multiple limiting blocks.

[0012] In this utility model, an automatic fixture for CNC machining is described. By placing the guide rail between two corresponding limit blocks and starting the motor, the rotating shaft begins to rotate, which in turn causes the worm gear to rotate. Since the worm gear meshes with the worm wheel, the worm wheel also begins to rotate. As the worm wheel rotates, the rotating roller begins to rotate, which in turn causes the first connecting rod to rotate. Furthermore, the second connecting rod also begins to rotate, thereby driving the moving bar to begin horizontal movement.

[0013] In this utility model, an automatic fixture for CNC machining is described. When the moving bar begins to approach the guide rail, the abutment block first contacts the guide rail and causes the abutment block to begin to move horizontally in the opposite direction. One end of the abutment block abuts one end of the rotating plate, causing the rotating plate to start rotating. When the moving bar completes its contact with the guide rail, the clamping block at one end of the rotating plate also fully clamps the guide rail. At this time, the user can begin to process the guide rail.

[0014] This utility model has a reasonable structural design. Through the cooperation between the motor, the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod, the rotating bar, the abutment block and the worm gear, the guide rail to be processed can be clamped at multiple positions, thereby improving the stability of the guide rail during processing.

[0022] In this embodiment, multiple No. 1 frames 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1. A rotating roller 3 is rotatably connected between two No. 1 frames 2 located on the same side. A No. 1 connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the multiple rotating rollers 3. A No. 1 column is rotatably connected to the other end of each of the multiple No. 1 connecting rods 5 are fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the multiple No. 1 columns. A No. 2 column is rotatably connected to the other end of each of the multiple No. 2 connecting rods 5. A movable frame 6 is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the multiple No. 2 columns. Two movable frames 6 located on the same side are fixedly connected to the outer side of the same movable bar 7. Multiple motors 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1. A rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of each of the multiple motors 12. A worm gear 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the multiple rotating shafts 13. A worm wheel 15 meshes with the outer side of each of the multiple worm gears 14. The inner side of each of the multiple worm wheels 15 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the corresponding rotating roller 3. This allows the rotating roller 3 to rotate, thereby driving other mechanisms to move.

[0023] In this embodiment, the top of the workbench 1 is provided with multiple guide grooves, and guide blocks are slidably connected to the inner side of each guide groove. The top of each guide block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the corresponding movable frame 6. Bases 18 are fixedly connected to both sides of the workbench 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, during use, the guide rail is placed between the two corresponding limit blocks, and the motor 12 is started, causing the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn causes the worm gear 14 to rotate. Since the worm gear 14 meshes with the worm wheel 15, the worm wheel 15 also starts to rotate. As the worm wheel 15 rotates, the rotating roller 3 starts to rotate, which in turn causes the first connecting rod 4 to rotate. Furthermore, the second connecting rod 5 also starts to rotate, thereby driving the moving bar 7 to start moving horizontally. When the moving bar 7 starts to approach the guide rail, the abutment block 8 first contacts the guide rail and causes the abutment block 8 to start moving horizontally in the opposite direction. One end of the abutment block 8 abuts one end of the rotating plate 10, which causes the rotating plate 10 to start rotating. When the moving bar 7 completes its contact with the guide rail, the clamping block at one end of the rotating plate 10 also fully clamps the guide rail. At this time, the user can start processing the guide rail.
