[0002] End caps are covers installed on the housings of motors, cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, oil cylinders, etc. The quality of end caps directly affects the quality of related components, so the processing of end caps is extremely important. During the processing of end caps, they need to be fixed to prevent them from moving during processing.

[0003] Authorization announcement number CN217596523U discloses a machine tool fixture for an automated end cap machining line, including a worktable. A support frame is fixedly connected to the lower end of the worktable. Multiple cross-shaped slots are evenly spaced on the worktable. Four fixed plates are mounted in each of two cross-shaped slots via sliding mechanisms. The lower ends of the four fixed plates are hinged to hinge rods. Moving columns are hinged to the four hinge rods. Lifting mechanisms are mounted on each of the moving columns, and these lifting mechanisms are connected to each other via a transmission mechanism. This invention allows for the simultaneous fixing of multiple end caps, which helps save processing time and accelerate the processing progress.

[0004] In the above scheme, when the clamping device clamps the disc-shaped motor end cover, the positioning clamps fix the motor end cover from four points, which can easily cause the motor end cover to shift during the processing. This cannot meet the requirements of multi-point fixing and clamping, thereby reducing the clamping effect of the motor end cover. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an end cap processing fixture includes a top plate 1 and a threaded sleeve 23. A support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the top plate 1. Several sliding grooves 3 are evenly spaced on the top plate 1, with three sliding grooves 3 arranged circumferentially. Each sliding groove 3 contains a clamping block 4 arranged through a sliding mechanism. Each group of three clamping blocks 4 is used to clamp the end cap. The lower end of each clamping block 4 is hinged to a hinge rod 24, and the other end of each hinge rod 24 is hinged to the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 23. Each threaded sleeve 23 is equipped with a lifting mechanism, which is connected to each other through a transmission mechanism. A trapezoidal block 41 is fixedly connected to the side of each clamping block 4 near the center point of three clamping blocks 4. The trapezoidal block 41 is an isosceles trapezoid. Two frames 42 are fixedly connected to the side of each trapezoidal block 41. Each frame 42 contains multiple arc-shaped blocks 43 of different sizes. The largest arc-shaped block 43 is located on the entire surface of all the arc-shaped blocks 43, and two medium-sized arc-shaped blocks 43 are mounted on the surface of the largest arc-shaped block 43. On the surface of block 43, two small arc-shaped blocks 43 are installed on the surface of medium-sized arc-shaped block 43. Multiple T-shaped sliders are set between the arc-shaped blocks 43 of different sizes and the frame 42. The multiple arc-shaped blocks 43 and the frame 42 rotate with each other through a rotating component. A snap-fit ​​component is also set between the clamping block 4 and the top plate 1. When the end cap is placed between the three clamping blocks 4 on the top of the top plate 1, the lifting mechanism starts and drives the clamping block 4 to slide towards the center point. The clamping block 4 drives the trapezoidal block 41 to slide. The trapezoidal block 41 drives the two frames 42 to slide. The frames 42 drive the arc-shaped blocks 43 to slide. The arc-shaped blocks 43 slide inside the previous arc-shaped block 43 or the frame 42 through the T-shaped slider. It can clamp according to the curvature of the product's surface. This solves the problem that the traditional clamping fixture cannot adjust the force point according to the change of the end plate size, or the force point becomes less after adjustment, resulting in poor clamping effect and possible loosening during processing.

[0025] In some specific implementation plans, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the screw sleeve 23, the lifting mechanism includes a screw 22. The screw sleeve 23 has a threaded hole inside. The screw sleeve 23 is threadedly connected to the hole of the screw 22. The rotation of the screw 22 can drive the screw sleeve 23 to move up and down.

[0026] In some specific implementation plans, such as Figure 1As shown, in order to facilitate the simultaneous fixing of multiple end caps, the transmission mechanism includes a motor 27, a fixing frame 21, a synchronous belt 26, and a synchronous pulley 25. The fixing frame 21 is fixedly connected to the support frame 2. The motor 27 is mounted on the fixing frame 21. The screws 22 are all rotatably connected to the fixing frame 21 through bearings. The output shaft of the motor 27 is fixedly connected to one of the screws 22. A synchronous pulley 25 is fixedly connected to each screw 22. A synchronous belt 26 is sleeved between two adjacent synchronous pulleys 25. The design of the synchronous pulley 25 and the synchronous belt 26 is to play a transmission role, so that multiple screws 22 can rotate simultaneously, and multiple end caps can be fixed and loosened simultaneously.

[0027] In some specific implementations, in order to facilitate the limiting of the clamping block 4, the sliding mechanism includes a limiting groove 45. There are two limiting grooves 45, which are fixedly disposed on both sides of the clamping block 4. The clamping block 4 is slidably connected to the corresponding sliding groove 3 through the limiting groove 45.

[0028] In some specific implementation plans, such as Figure 3 or Figure 5 As shown, to prevent the clamping blocks 4 from loosening during processing, the clamping assembly includes a three-pronged rod 5. The three rods of the three-pronged rod 5 are set in corresponding sliding grooves 3. Several grooves 51 are distributed along the width of the rod at the top of the three-pronged rod 5. Each clamping block 4 has a through hole 46. A corresponding protrusion is set on the side of the through hole 46 near the three-pronged rod 5. The grooves 51 correspond to the protrusions. An electromagnetic telescopic rod 52 that drives the three-pronged rod 5 to move up and down is also fixed on the top plate 1. After clamping but before processing, the electromagnetic telescopic rod 52 is activated to drive the three-pronged rod 5 to move towards the protrusion. The grooves 51 engage with the protrusions, which can fix the three clamping blocks 4 at the same time and prevent them from loosening during use.

[0029] In some specific implementation plans, such as Figure 4 As shown, in order to prevent the arc-shaped block 43 from scratching the edge of the end cap, the smaller arc-shaped block 43 is provided with a rubber pad 44 on the side away from the frame 42 to protect the end cap.

[0030] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this solution by those skilled in the art, the working principle of this solution will now be briefly explained in conjunction with specific application scenarios:

[0031] The lifting mechanism starts and drives the clamping block 4 to slide towards the center point. The clamping block 4 drives the trapezoidal block 41 to slide, the trapezoidal block 41 drives the two frames 42 to slide, the frames 42 drive the arc block 43 to slide, and the arc block 43 slides inside the previous arc block 43 or the frame 42 through the T-shaped slider. It can clamp according to the curvature of the product's surface. Through the design of the synchronous wheel 25 and the synchronous belt 26, multiple screws 22 can rotate simultaneously to fix and loosen multiple end caps at the same time. Before processing after clamping, the electromagnetic telescopic rod 52 is activated to drive the three-pronged rod 5 to move towards the protrusion. The groove 51 engages with the protrusion, which can fix the three clamping blocks 4 at the same time to prevent loosening during use.

[0032] The foregoing has described several embodiments of this utility model in detail, but these embodiments are not limited thereto and should not be considered as limiting the scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the claims of this utility model should still fall within the patent coverage of this utility model.
