Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling technology, and more specifically, to a tooling for automatic switching clamping. Background Technology
[0002] Tooling clamping technology is an indispensable part of modern industrial production. It involves fixing, positioning, and stabilizing workpieces to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the machining process. Early tooling clamping technology mainly relied on simple mechanical principles and manual operation. With the development of CNC machine tools and automation technology, tooling clamping technology has also developed towards high precision, high efficiency, and high automation.
[0003] When clamping cylindrical workpieces, common tooling fixtures typically only clamp one side of the workpiece, either the inner or outer circle. For example, when clamping only the outer circle, the inner circle can be machined. However, when the outer circle needs to be machined, it is necessary to move to the next machining process and use the inner circle clamping method to machine the outer circle of the workpiece. This cannot effectively integrate the two clamping methods on one tooling, resulting in complicated, time-consuming, and labor-intensive operations when both the inner and outer circles need to be machined simultaneously.

[0008] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the inner surfaces of the upper arc-shaped clamping plate and the lower arc-shaped clamping plate are both provided with rubber pads. The connection between the two ends of the first connecting block and the bottom of the upper movable rod and the top of the upper arc-shaped clamping plate is by welding. The connection between the two ends of the second connecting block and the bottom of the lower arc-shaped clamping plate and the top of the lower movable rod is also by welding.
[0009] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, both inner circular clamping assemblies include a convex plate fixedly connected to the front end of the vertical plate. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the top of the convex plate in the horizontal direction. One end of the horizontal plate extends to the outside of the vertical plate. A connecting frame is connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate. A horizontally driven cylinder is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the convex plate. The output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting frame. A flip plate is connected to the inner side of the connecting frame. A conical locking block is fixedly provided on the bottom inner wall of the flip plate. A drive shaft is connected to the top of the flip plate inside the connecting frame. A second motor for driving the drive shaft to rotate is installed on the outer wall of the connecting frame. A locking screw is connected to the top outer wall of the flip plate.
[0010] As a further improvement to the technical solution of this utility model, the top of the connecting frame is provided with a T-shaped card block connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate, and the bottom of the horizontal plate is provided with a T-shaped groove along the horizontal direction corresponding to the outside of the T-shaped card block.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This utility model designs two methods for clamping cylindrical workpieces: outer circle clamping and inner circle clamping. When machining the outer circle, firstly, the first motor is controlled to run, driving the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate. The upper and lower movable rods connected by the two opposite threads keep moving in opposite directions. By controlling the upper and lower movable rods to gradually move away, the operable area of the workpiece increases. Then, by retracting the piston rods of the cylinders on the two inner circle clamping components, the connecting frame is controlled to move laterally at the bottom of the horizontal plate, and the bottom flipping plate and conical block are driven to gradually approach the end of the workpiece, so that the conical block can be inserted into the inner hole of the workpiece to facilitate the machining of the outer circle. The structure is simple and easy to operate.
[0014] 2. When machining the inner circle of a workpiece is required, the upper and lower movable rods are gradually brought closer together and clamped. Then, the cylinder is controlled to push the connecting frame outward, moving the conical clamp away from the workpiece. At the same time, the second motor is controlled to drive the drive shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the flipping plate and the conical clamp to rotate. This ensures that the end position of the workpiece is not affected by the inner circle clamping assembly, facilitating the machining of the inner circle of the workpiece and enabling the switching of clamping between machining the outer and inner circles of cylindrical workpieces.

[0026] Working principle: This utility model designs an automatic clamping and switching fixture, the specific structure of which is shown in the attached instruction manual. Figure 1-4As shown, this technical solution designs two methods for clamping the cylindrical workpiece: outer circle clamping and inner circle clamping. During outer circle machining, the first motor 6 is controlled to run, driving the bidirectional threaded rod 5 to rotate. The upper movable rod 7 and lower movable rod 8, connected externally by two opposing threads, maintain opposite movements. By controlling the upper movable rod 7 and lower movable rod 8 to gradually move away (i.e., the upper movable rod 7 moves upward and the lower movable rod 8 moves downward), the operable area of the workpiece increases. Then, by retracting the piston rods of the cylinders 18 on the two inner circle clamping assemblies, the connecting frame 19 is controlled to move laterally at the bottom of the horizontal plate 17, causing the bottom flipping plate 21 and the conical clamping block 22 to gradually move closer. The workpiece end is clamped, and the conical clamping block 22 is inserted into the inner hole of the workpiece to facilitate the machining of the outer circle. When the inner circle of the workpiece needs to be machined, the previous steps are reversed. The upper movable rod 7 and the lower movable rod 8 are controlled to gradually approach and clamp the workpiece. Then, the cylinder 18 is controlled to push the connecting frame 19 outward, so that the conical clamping block 22 is away from the workpiece. At the same time, the second motor 24 is controlled to run and drive the drive shaft 23 to rotate, which drives the flipping plate 21 and the conical clamping block 22 to rotate. This makes the end position of the workpiece unaffected by the inner circle clamping assembly, which facilitates the machining of the inner circle of the workpiece and realizes the clamping switch when machining the outer and inner circles of cylindrical workpieces.

Other structures can be referred to with ordinary design. In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
