[0027] The utility model will be further described below in connection with the drawings and examples.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0029] The following preferred embodiments and examples of this invention will provide a more readily apparent understanding of its contents. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. In case of any conflict, the definitions in this specification shall prevail.

[0030] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 As shown, the fixture body 4 is fixed to the rotary spindle 3 by three internal hexagonal head screws 14. The shaft top screw 7, used for axial positioning of the workpiece 2, is screwed into the positioning sleeve 8, used for axial positioning of the wedge block assembly 9. The positioning sleeve 8 is coaxially fitted into the fixture body 4. The cylindrical inner end of the long cylindrical head set screw 11, which is radially embedded on the rear outer wall of the fixture body 4, extends into the axial groove opened on the left side, i.e., the rear outer wall of the positioning sleeve 8, to prevent the positioning sleeve 8 from rotating. The inner edge of the left side, i.e., the rear port, of the locking sleeve 6 is threaded into the protruding outer wall of the rear end of the fixture body 4. The right side, i.e., the front end, of the locking sleeve 6 is threaded into the locking sleeve 6. The inner wall of the clamping ring 5 is engaged with the rear outer wall of the clamping ring 5 by a series of steel balls 17 arranged in a ring. The steel balls 17 are inserted through screw holes on the front outer wall of the locking sleeve 6 and sealed with flat-end set screws 16. The front part of the clamping ring 5 protrudes conically from the front central axis. The inner wall of the front part of the clamping ring 5 presses multiple wedge-shaped blocks 9 together inward and backward along the central axis into the front conical hole of the clamping body 4. The outer side (tail end) of the first cylindrical pin 12 fixed on the clamping body 4 extends into the axial guide groove on the rear inner wall of the clamping ring 5 to guide the axial movement of the clamping ring 5 and prevent the clamping ring 5 from rotating. Multiple axial long grooves are opened on the circumference of the clamping body 4. The left end of these axial long grooves has a through hole, through which the clamping body 4 is fixedly connected to the front end face of the rotary spindle 3 by a hexagonal socket head cap screw 14.

[0031] As described above, the inner wall of the front port of the clamping body 4 and the outer wall of the front end of the positioning sleeve 8 are provided with a sliding engagement structure of mutually cooperating guide grooves. The outer wall of the middle part of the locking sleeve 6 has an insertion hole for installing a screwing handle.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, a lubrication bushing or grease is placed in the inner lubrication cavity 19 and the outer lubrication cavity 20.

[0033] In the embodiment of the utility model, the clamping body 4 is axially fixedly connected with the rotary main shaft 3, the rear end of the locking sleeve 6 is threadedly connected with the clamping body 4, the front end of the locking sleeve 6 is pressed and clamped by the steel ball 17 and the compression ring 5, when the locking sleeve 6 rotates and moves axially, the compression ring 5 overcomes the tension of the large compression spring 10 and the small compression spring 13 to extrude the wedge block group 9 in the limited stroke, the workpiece 2 is further clamped centripetally, in this process, the large compression spring 10 supported by the rotary main shaft 3 pushes the rear end of the positioning sleeve 8 and the shaft top screw 7 to move along the axial direction under the limitation of the long cylindrical end fixing screw 11, and rigidly further drives the positioning sleeve 8 and the front part of the wedge block group 9 to push the auxiliary clamping workpiece 2. The small compression spring 13 is sleeved outside the second cylindrical pin 15 fixedly connected with the front end of the shaft top screw 7. The workpiece 2 is clamped in the enclosed axial position of a group of wedge block groups 9 on the right side or the front end of the small compression spring 13 and the second cylindrical pin 15.

[0034] In the embodiment of the utility model, the second cylindrical pin 15 front end tightly pushes the workpiece 2 rear end face under the pushing of the small compression spring 13, and the grinding wheel 1 is located on the front side of the workpiece 2.

[0035] In the embodiment of the utility model, the rotary main shaft 3 front end middle shaft part is internally provided with a central hole, and the shaft center top rod 18 is arranged in the central hole.

[0036] In the embodiment of the utility model, the wedge block group 9 is coaxially arranged with three to six wedge blocks, and is surrounded to form a front end face inclined to the rear side and a rear part outer wall inclined to the rear side central axis.

[0037] In the embodiment, a certain gap amount is left between the left end face of the positioning sleeve 8 and the rotary main shaft 3 and the shaft center top rod 18, so that the compression ring 5 can have enough stroke to press the wedge block 9 tightly, and then the wedge block 9 has enough radial contraction amount to clamp the workpiece. The right end of the small compression spring 13 abuts against the left end face of the workpiece, and the left end face of the workpiece abuts against the second cylindrical pin 15.

[0038] In the embodiment, the positioning sleeve 8 and the wedge block 9 are two separate parts, and the abutting structure relationship is different from the spring clamping jaw. The left end face of the plurality of wedge blocks is in contact with the right end face of the positioning sleeve, and in the clamping and loosening process, the wedge block moves axially, and at the same time, the radial movement also occurs, so that the workpiece 2 can be clamped or loosened. Because the wedge block moves axially while moving radially, the relative radial movement also occurs between the left end face of the wedge block and the right end face of the positioning sleeve 8. That is, the wedge block and the positioning sleeve cannot be integrated, otherwise the wedge block cannot move radially.

[0039] The implementation principle of the embodiment is as follows:

[0040] When the locking sleeve 6 is rotated clockwise, the locking sleeve 6 moves left; the compression ring 5 is driven by the steel ball 17 to push the plurality of wedge blocks 9 and the positioning sleeve 8 to move left against the elastic force of the large compression spring 10 installed in the positioning sleeve 8, and the plurality of wedge blocks are radially contracted to generate clamping force on the workpiece 2 during the left movement of the plurality of wedge blocks, so that the workpiece 2 is clamped.

[0041] When the locking sleeve 6 is rotated counterclockwise, the locking sleeve 6 moves right; the compression ring 5 is driven by the steel ball 17 to move right at the same time. The large compression spring 10 installed in the positioning sleeve 8 pushes the positioning sleeve 8 to move right to push the plurality of wedge blocks to move right, and the radial clamping force of the plurality of wedge blocks disappears during the right movement of the plurality of wedge blocks; the small compression spring 13 at the right end of the positioning sleeve 8 pushes out the workpiece 2.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the utility model are described in combination with the drawings, various modifications and variations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
