DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The utility model will be explained in further detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] (Example 1)

[0025] See Figures 3 to 8 The laser pipe cutting feeding chuck of the embodiment mainly comprises a frame 1, a main shaft 2, a rotary drive mechanism 3, a shell 4, a front cover 5, an inner piston 6, an outer piston 7, a transmission mechanism 8, a clamping jaw 9 and a three-way gas pressure rotator 100.

[0026] The frame 1 serves as the installation base of the chuck, the main shaft 2 is rotatably arranged in the frame 1 through a matched bearing 21, the rotary drive mechanism 3 is arranged on the frame 1 and is in transmission connection with the main shaft 2 for driving the main shaft 2 to rotate, the shell 4 is fixedly connected with the front end of the main shaft 2 (the side where the clamping jaw 9 is located is the front), the front cover 5 is fixedly arranged at the front end of the shell 4, the inner piston 6 and the outer piston 7 are both arranged in the shell 4, and the inner piston 6 and the outer piston 7 are respectively driven by two sets of transmission mechanisms 8 to correspondingly drive a pair of horizontally arranged clamping jaws 9 and a pair of vertically arranged clamping jaws 9. Two power air ducts are arranged on the main shaft 2 and the shell 4 for the high-pressure air to pass through so as to drive the inner piston 6 and the outer piston 7 to extend and retract, thereby correspondingly controlling the clamping and opening of the horizontally arranged clamping jaws 9 and the vertically arranged clamping jaws 9. A blowing chip gas passage is arranged in the laser pipe cutting feeding chuck. The technical features described in this section are basically the same as those of the prior art, and will not be described here.

[0027] The laser pipe cutting and feeding chuck of the embodiment is different from the prior art in that it is also provided with a three-way air pressure rotator 100 for inputting high-pressure air required for work. Correspondingly, the chuck rack 1 of the embodiment is no longer provided with a clamping air nozzle 11, an opening air nozzle 12, corresponding air passages and three O-shaped sealing rings 13 arranged in the chuck rack 1, so as to solve the technical problem that the three O-shaped sealing rings 13 of the similar chuck in the prior art are prone to wear and replacement, which is time-consuming and laborious and affects the production efficiency. Meanwhile, the transmission mechanism 8 of the laser pipe cutting and feeding chuck of the embodiment does not adopt a transmission mechanism composed of a large gear 81, a small gear 82 and a rack 83. The transmission mechanism 8 of the embodiment is changed to a transmission mechanism composed of a lever 84 and a power wedge 85, so as to solve the technical problem that the stroke of the chuck claw of the similar chuck in the prior art is small, which limits the outer diameter size of the pipe material that can be clamped by the chuck and thus affects the performance-price ratio of the chuck.

[0028] The above improved parts of the laser pipe cutting and feeding chuck of the embodiment relative to the prior art are described in detail as follows.

[0029] Referring to Figures 9 to 11 and Figure 6The three-way gas pressure rotator 100 is a commercially available component, which comprises a shell 101, a rear cover 102 fixedly arranged at the rear end of the shell 101 through bolts, a core rod 103 rotatably arranged in the shell 101 and the rear cover 102 through a mounting bearing 104; the shell 101 is provided with a clamping air hole 101-1 and an opening air hole 101-2, and the shell 101 is correspondingly provided with three sealing rings 105 for realizing air tightness; the rear cover 102 is provided with a blowing scrap air hole 102-1; the core rod 103 is provided with a first power air channel 103-1, a second power air channel 103-2 and a blowing scrap air channel 103-3, the first power air channel 103-1 and the second power air channel 103-2 are communicated with the clamping air hole 101-1 and the opening air hole 101-2 of the shell 101 respectively, and the blowing scrap air channel 103-3 of the core rod 103 is communicated with the blowing air hole 102-1 of the rear cover 102. The three-way gas pressure rotator 100 is fixedly connected with the rear end of the main shaft 2 through the front end of the core rod 103, so that the three-way gas pressure rotator 100 rotates coaxially with the main shaft 2 during work, and the first power air channel 103-1 and the second power air channel 103-2 of the core rod 103 are in air connection with the two power air channels of the main shaft 2 and the shell 4; the blowing scrap air channel 103-3 of the core rod 103 is in air connection with the blowing scrap gas channel arranged in the chuck. During work, the high-pressure air input through the clamping air hole 101-1 and the opening air hole 101-2 of the shell 101 of the three-way gas pressure rotator 100 drives the inner piston 6 and the outer piston 7 to extend and retract through the two power air channels in the core rod 103 and the two power air channels of the main shaft 2 and the shell 4, so as to correspondingly control the clamping and opening of each pair of clamping jaws 9 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and the high-pressure air input through the blowing scrap air hole 102-1 of the rear cover 102 of the three-way gas pressure rotator 100 blows away the machining scraps between the front cover 5 and the clamping jaws 9 during cutting through the blowing scrap air channel 103-3 of the core rod 103 and the blowing scrap gas channel of the chuck. As a preferred mode, the three-way gas pressure rotator 100 is provided with a fixing frame 106, one side of the fixing frame 106 is fixedly connected with the rear cover 102 of the three-way gas pressure rotator 100, and the other side of the fixing frame 106 is fixedly connected with the rack 1, so as to enhance the installation and working stability of the three-way gas pressure rotator 100.

[0030] Although three sealing rings 105 are arranged in the three-path gas pressure rotator 100, the sealing rings 105 are also subjected to the friction of the core rod 103 rotating synchronously with the main shaft 2 during operation. Since the outer diameter of the core rod 103 is much smaller than the outer diameter of the main shaft 2, the linear speed of the core rod 103 rotating on the sealing ring 105 is much smaller than the linear speed of the main shaft 2 rotating on the O-shaped sealing ring 13 in the prior art at the same angular velocity. Therefore, the wear speed of the sealing ring 105 is much smaller than the wear speed of the O-shaped sealing ring 13 in the prior art, that is, the effective service life of the sealing ring 105 is much longer than that of the O-shaped sealing ring 13 in the prior art. Meanwhile, when the sealing ring 105 needs to be replaced due to wear reaching the service life, the rear cover 102 of the three-path gas pressure rotator 100 can be conveniently and quickly detached from the shell 101 by screwing the bolt, and the sealing ring 105 can be replaced, which saves time and effort. Unlike the prior art, the O-shaped sealing ring 13 needs to be replaced by disassembling the chuck as a whole.

[0031] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The laser pipe cutting and feeding chuck of the embodiment comprises a transmission mechanism 8 composed of a lever 84 and a power wedge 85. Four sets of transmission mechanisms 8 are provided, each corresponding to each jaw 9. One end of each lever 84 of two sets of transmission mechanisms 8 is in transmission connection with the inner piston 6, and the other end of each lever 84 is in transmission connection with a power wedge 85 movably arranged on the front cover 5. One horizontal jaw 9 is fixedly arranged on each power wedge 85. One end of each lever 84 of the other two sets of transmission mechanisms 8 is in transmission connection with the outer piston 7, and the other end of each lever 84 is in transmission connection with a power wedge 85 movably arranged on the front cover 5. One vertical jaw 9 is fixedly arranged on each power wedge 85. During operation, the inner piston 6 and the outer piston 7 are extended and retracted to control a pair of horizontal jaws 9 and a pair of vertical jaws 9 to clamp and open.

[0032] The laser pipe cutting and feeding chuck of the embodiment replaces the transmission mechanism 8 composed of a large gear 81, a small gear 82 and a rack 83 in the prior art with a transmission mechanism 8 composed of a lever 84 and a power wedge 85. Under the premise of the same external size, the single-jaw stroke is increased from 15 mm in the prior art to 30 mm, that is, the external size of the workpiece that can be clamped during use can be doubled, thereby effectively improving the performance-cost ratio of the chuck.

[0033] The above embodiments are descriptions of specific implementation manners of the utility model, rather than limitations of the utility model. Those skilled in the related technical field can make various transformations and changes without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, and obtain corresponding equivalent technical solutions. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions should be included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
