[0032] By the above technical scheme, fixed positioning sleeve 2 is installed on base 1, movable positioning sleeve 3 is threadedly connected with the internal thread of lower section of fixed positioning sleeve 2 by the external thread of middle section thereof.The outer diameter of movable positioning sleeve 3 is positioned with the inner hole of fixed positioning sleeve 2 to ensure position, so that movable positioning sleeve 3 can rotate up and down in the hole of fixed positioning sleeve 2. Figure 3 And Figure 4As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, when positioning the A-type shaft 501 or the B-type shaft 502, the pressing plate 4 is removed, the A-type shaft 501 or the B-type shaft 502 is directly placed into the positioning space formed by the cooperation of the fixed positioning sleeve 2 and the movable positioning sleeve 3, the lower outer diameter and the shoulder surface of the shaft are pre-positioned, finally, the pressing plate 4 is moved to extrude and fix the top end of the shaft, realizing tight fixing and positioning. Figure 5 When positioning the C-type shaft 503 (see FIG. 3), the internal hex of the movable positioning sleeve 3 is first rotated by using the internal hex wrench, so that the movable positioning sleeve 3 is lowered to release the positioning space, then the C-type shaft 503 is placed into the positioning space, and the outer diameter shoulder surface of the C-type shaft 503 is positioned by the inner hole of the fixed positioning sleeve 2.

[0033] In the embodiment, in order to avoid the existence of a large gap between the movable positioning sleeve 3 and the fixed positioning sleeve 2, and to avoid the occurrence of the situation that other sundries in the working environment enter the gap to cause the movable positioning sleeve 3 to move unsmoothly in the fixed positioning sleeve 2, preferably, the inner wall shape of the fixed positioning sleeve 2 is set to be in close contact with the outer wall of the movable positioning sleeve 3.

[0034] In the embodiment, in order to facilitate the rotation of the internal hex of the movable positioning sleeve 3 by using the internal hex wrench, reduce the number of rotation of the internal hex wrench, and avoid unnecessary rotation and waste of physical strength, preferably, the internal thread is located at the lower section of the inner wall of the fixed positioning sleeve 2, and the external thread is located at the middle section of the outer wall of the movable positioning sleeve 3. In this way, the movable positioning sleeve 3 needs to be rotated and adjusted in position only when it is inserted into the fixed positioning sleeve 2 to a relatively deep depth, instead of being rotated continuously from the moment when the movable positioning sleeve 3 just enters the fixed positioning sleeve 2 to rotate the movable positioning sleeve 3 into the fixed positioning sleeve 2.

[0035] In the embodiment, in order to improve the practicability of the universal tool for quick switching of positioning of multiple types of shafts, so that it can be applied to the positioning operation of shafts of different models and different lengths, preferably, a groove 6 is formed between the internal hex cavity on the movable positioning sleeve 3 and the top surface of the movable positioning sleeve 3, and the groove 6 is set to be capable of accommodating the shaft head of multiple types of shafts.

Figure 3 Figure 4 When positioning the C-type shaft 503 (see FIG. 3), the size of the shaft head of the C-type shaft 503 is larger than the size of the groove 6, the internal hex of the movable positioning sleeve 3 is first rotated by using the internal hex wrench, so that the movable positioning sleeve 3 is lowered to release the positioning space, then the C-type shaft 503 is placed into the positioning space, and the outer diameter shoulder surface of the C-type shaft 503 is positioned by the inner hole of the fixed positioning sleeve 2. Figure 5

[0036] ​​In the embodiment, in order to facilitate auxiliary positioning of different types of shafts, preferably, a positioning structure capable of cooperating with the shaft shoulder of various shafts to perform shoulder surface positioning is formed above the movable positioning sleeve 3 in the fixed positioning sleeve 2.

[0037] Further, in order to expand the wrapping capacity of the positioning structure on the shafts, preferably, the positioning structure is annular and the inner side is circular.

[0038] Further, in order to reduce the contact area of the positioning structure with the shafts, facilitate adjustment and pick-and-place of the shafts, preferably, the top end surface of the positioning structure is inwardly recessed to form a plurality of circular-arc-shaped notches 7.

[0039] In the embodiment, in order to facilitate machining of the notches in the positioning structure, preferably, the plurality of circular-arc-shaped notches 7 are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction.

[0040] In the embodiment, in order to facilitate adjustment of the operation of the pressing plate 4 as needed, preferably, the pressing plate 4 is connected with a pneumatic cylinder, an oil cylinder or a mechanical arm.

[0041] In the embodiment, in order to avoid that the relatively sharp profile causes scratches, bumps or even damage to the surface of the shafts when the shafts are placed into the universal tooling, preferably, the edge of the fixed positioning sleeve 2 in contact with the shaft is chamfered.

[0042] The preferred embodiments of the utility model are described in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited thereto. Within the technical concept of the utility model, the technical solutions of the utility model can be subjected to various simple modifications, including combination of various specific technical features in any suitable manner. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the utility model does not further describe various possible combination manners. However, these simple modifications and combinations should also be regarded as the disclosed content of the utility model and belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
