Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an angle-adjustable fixture for an internal grinding machine, including an adjusting seat 1. A three-jaw chuck 2 for fixing a workpiece is mounted on one side surface of the adjusting seat 1. A first ball hinge 17 is mounted at the center of the other side surface of the adjusting seat 1, and the first ball hinge 17 is connected to one end of a connecting rod 3. The workpiece to be processed is fixed by the three-jaw chuck 2. The adjusting seat 1 is connected to the connecting rod 3 via the first ball hinge 17, allowing it to flexibly adjust the angle of the three-jaw chuck 2. A mounting base 4 is mounted on the other end of the connecting rod 3. Four to twelve telescopic rods 12 are arranged on the side surface of the mounting base 4 facing the adjusting seat 1. The telescopic rods 12 are preferably electric push rods followed by cylinders or hydraulic... The cylinder, etc., and the telescopic rod 12 is electrically connected to the controller of the external internal grinding machine. The controller adopts the control system controller commonly used in internal grinding machines, such as the HEIDENHAIN TNC series controller. A second ball hinge 13 is installed at the end of the telescopic rod 12. The second ball hinge 13 is installed on the side surface of the adjusting seat 1. By adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 12 in the corresponding position and number, the adjusting seat 1 can be driven to tilt in various directions through the connecting rod 3 and the first ball hinge 17, thereby adjusting the machining angle of the three-jaw chuck 2 and the workpiece. It is suitable for the automated machining of non-standard round or multi-angle workpieces, without the need for multiple machining operations, which greatly improves the machining efficiency and the machining accuracy of the workpiece.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, a first tilt sensor 14 is installed on the side surface of the adjusting seat 1 to detect the tilt angle of the adjusting seat 1. The first tilt sensor 14 is electrically connected to the controller of the external internal grinding machine. When the controller adjusts the angle between the adjusting seat 1 and the three-jaw chuck 2 through the telescopic rod 12, the first tilt sensor 14 transmits the angle change value of the adjusting seat 1 to the controller. The controller automatically controls and adjusts the tilt of the adjusting seat 1 according to the angle change value, making the control more precise and improving the degree of automation.

[0021] In the preferred embodiment, a rotating shaft 5 is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting base 4 away from the connecting rod 3. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably mounted on the external internal grinding machine body. The rotating shaft 5 can drive the mounting base 4 to rotate under the drive of the drive device, thereby causing the adjusting base 1 and the three-jaw chuck 2 to rotate. This allows the workpiece to be adjusted in the vertical direction while rotating on the horizontal axis, making it suitable for internal grinding machine processing with different needs. At the same time, it eliminates the need for more telescopic rods 12. Only 2-4 telescopic rods are needed to tilt the workpiece in any direction, achieving stepless adjustment.

[0022] Specifically, a driven gear 9 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 5, and a motor base 6 is provided below the rotating shaft 5. A drive motor 7 is mounted on one side surface of the motor base 6. The drive motor 7 is electrically connected to the controller of the external internal cylindrical grinding machine. The output shaft of the drive motor 7 passes through the other side surface of the motor base 6 and is connected to the driving gear 8. The driving gear 8 and the driven gear 9 mesh with each other. The drive motor drives the driven gear 9 to rotate through the driving gear 8, which in turn drives the mounting base 4 and the adjusting base 1 to rotate through the rotating shaft 5. The rotation of the workpiece is controlled by the gear meshing, making the control and adjustment more precise and further improving the machining accuracy of the workpiece.

[0023] In a further preferred technical solution, the upper surface of the motor base 6 is provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the rotating shaft 5. The arc-shaped groove supports the rotating shaft 5, and the rotating shaft 5 can rotate within the arc-shaped groove. When the rotating shaft 5 drives the mounting base 4 and the adjusting base 1 to rotate, it is more stable, thus ensuring the processing quality of the workpiece.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment, a second tilt sensor 15 is mounted on the side surface of the mounting base 4. The second tilt sensor 15 is electrically connected to the controller of the external internal grinding machine. The controller telescopic rod 12, the drive motor 7, the first tilt sensor 14, and the second tilt sensor 15 are all commonly used methods in the prior art. When the controller controls the drive motor 7 to drive the rotating shaft 5, the mounting base 4, and the adjusting base 1 to rotate through the driving gear 8 and the driven gear 9, the second tilt sensor 15 transmits the angle change value of the mounting base 4 to the controller. The controller automatically controls and adjusts the rotation angle of the mounting base 4 according to the angle change value, making the control more precise and further improving the degree of automation.

[0025] The controller, telescopic rod 12, drive motor 7, first tilt sensor 14 and second tilt sensor 15 used in this application are all commonly used electronic components in the prior art. Their specific structures, working principles and circuit connections are all well-known technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] Optionally, a fixing block 10 is installed on the lower side surface of the motor base 6, and a fixing hole 11 is provided on the upper surface of the fixing block 10. The motor base 6 can be fixed to the table of the internal cylindrical grinding machine by installing bolts or the like in the fixing hole 11 of the fixing block 10.

[0027] Please see Figure 4 This utility model also provides another embodiment, which is largely the same as the previous embodiment, except that: when the mounting base 4 and the rotating shaft 5 are connected and can rotate, only two telescopic rods 12 can be set, and the second ball hinge 13 set between the telescopic rod 12 and the adjusting base 1 can be replaced with a hinge seat 16, so that the adjusting base 1 and the three-jaw chuck 2 can be tilted in different directions. The structure is simpler, and the production and maintenance costs of the fixture are reduced. At the same time, compared with the ball hinge, the hinge seat 16 has a longer stroke and a larger adjustable angle.

[0028] The parts not disclosed in this utility model are all prior art, and their specific structures, materials, and working principles will not be described in detail. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
