Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical manufacturing, specifically relating to a V-shaped device with adjustable height. Background Technology

[0002] In mechanical manufacturing, we often need to quickly place shaft-type parts horizontally for measurement or machining, such as measuring the keyway dimensions of a shaft or performing wire EDM sampling. In these processes, without a center point, it's necessary to use V-blocks to support both sides of the shaft and ensure the axis is parallel to the worktable. However, the diameters of the two sides of the shaft are often not the same, making it difficult to find a suitable V-block to ensure the center heights of both sides are consistent. Therefore, knowing how to quickly and efficiently provide horizontal support for shaft-type parts using V-blocks is of great importance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes an adjustable height V-shaped device to solve the technical problem of inconsistent shaft center heights at both ends in the existing technology.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The lead screw assembly includes a left half V-shaped block and a right half V-shaped block. The left half V-shaped block includes a left triangular block. A first rectangular block and a second rectangular block are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the left triangular block. The lower end face of the left triangular block and the lower inner end faces of the first and second rectangular blocks are connected to a third rectangular block. A left threaded hole is opened inside the third rectangular block.

[0006] The right half V-shaped block includes a right triangular block, and a fourth rectangular block and a fifth rectangular block are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the right triangular block.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, screws 108 are installed in the threaded hole 107, and the left end cover 104 and the right end cover 105 are fixedly connected to the base 101 by screws 108.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, screws 108 are also installed in the stepped hole 103.

[0051] Specifically in this embodiment, the central hole 106 is used to fix the double helical screw 203.

[0052] Specifically in this embodiment, the two inner sides of the base 101 restrict the swinging of the left half V-block 201 and the right half V-block 202.

[0053] Specifically in this embodiment, screws 108 are installed in the stepped hole 103 to fix the height-adjustable V-shaped device to the machine tool worktable.

[0054] In this specific embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, during operation, first select a suitable fixed V-block 3 based on the known diameter of the shaft. Place the fixed V-block 3 and the adjustable V-block 4 on the worktable. Place one side of the shaft on the fixed V-block 3 and the other side on the adjustable V-block 3. Visually inspect or use a measuring tool to check if the two sides of the shaft are at the same height. If the end supported by the adjustable V-block 3 is too low, rotate the handwheel 204 to close the two sides of the left half V-block 201 and the right half V-block 202, gradually raising this end of the shaft. If the adjustable V-block 3 is too low, rotate the handwheel 204 to close the left half V-block 201 and the right half V-block 202, gradually raising this end of the shaft. The end supported by the device is too high. Rotating the handwheel 204 in the opposite direction separates the two sides of the left half V-block 201 and the right half V-block 202, causing this end of the shaft to gradually rise. Rotating the handwheel 204 drives the double threaded screw 203 to rotate, thereby causing the left half V-block 201 and the right half V-block 202 on the double threaded screw 203 to open or close horizontally. The included angle of the V-shape remains unchanged, while the V-shaped surface rises or falls, thereby raising or lowering the height of the shaft. The adjustment can be completed by visually inspecting or measuring the two ends of the shaft to ensure equal height and thickness.
