DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings of the application. Obviously, the embodiments described in the application are only part of the embodiments of the application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the application.

[0023] ReferenceFigures 1 to 4 The application is further described in detail as follows:

[0024] The tool holder clamping mechanism of the ultrasonic spindle comprises a shell 5, a tool holder 2, a rotating shaft 1 and a driving part 8, the driving part 8 and the rotating shaft 1 are sequentially arranged in the shell 5, the tool holder 2 is inserted into the cavity 10 at the end of the rotating shaft 1, and the rotating shaft 1 is rotationally connected to the shell 5; wherein a plurality of bearings 6 are arranged between the rotating shaft 1 and the shell to support the rotating shaft 1, and the driving part 8 comprises a stator and a rotor; the driving part 8 is used to drive the rotating shaft 1 to rotate the tool holder 2; an ultrasonic transducer (not shown) is arranged in the tool holder 2, the ultrasonic transducer is composed of a plurality of piezoelectric sheets, and can convert electrical energy into mechanical vibration acting on the tool holder 2 to process a workpiece.

[0025] In combination Figure 1 The rotating shaft 1 is provided with a clamping unit 3, and the clamping unit 3 is used to clamp the tool holder 2 and the rotating shaft 1; wherein the clamping unit 3 comprises an electromagnetic driving part 31, a movable part 33, and a plurality of elastic clamps 32 arranged on the rotating shaft 1; in combination Figure 4 The elastic clamps 32 can move to clamp or release the tool holder 2 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 1; in the embodiment, the electromagnetic driving part 31 comprises an iron core and a coil, and the movable part 33 can be an armature; the electromagnetic driving part 31 can be arranged in the shell 5 and arranged around the rotating shaft 1, and the overall volume is smaller; of course, it can also be arranged at other positions, and can drive the movable part 33 to move along the axis direction of the rotating shaft 1 to limit the radial movement of the elastic clamps 32.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the application controls the movement of the movable part 33 by electromagnetism, thereby releasing the elastic clamps 32, so that the elastic clamps 32 are opened along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 1, the tool holder 2 is conveniently removed from the rotating shaft 1 for replacement, the tool holder 2 can be quickly released or clamped, the replacement efficiency of the tool holder 2 is improved, and the overall occupied volume is reduced.

[0027] In combination Figure 3 Wherein the elastic clamps 32 comprise elastic sheets 321 and protruding parts 322, the elastic sheets 321 themselves have elasticity and can be elastic metal sheets, but are not limited thereto; in the embodiment not shown, the surface of the protruding part 322 is provided with an anti-skid structure, which can be anti-skid lines.

[0028] One end of the elastic sheet 321 is connected to the rotating shaft 1, for example, by welding, but is not limited thereto; the protruding part 322 is arranged at the movable end of the elastic sheet 321 Figure 2The lower end of the elastic sheet 321 is shown in the middle. The protrusion 322 is triangular or arc-shaped, or may be other shapes, as long as it can engage the knife handle. Thus, when disassembling or installing the knife handle 2, applying external force causes the pull stud at the end of the knife handle 2 to push the elastic collet 32 ​​to move radially. Figure 4 (The position indicated by the dashed line in the middle) That is, the protrusion 322 can move radially along the rotating shaft 1 by the deformation of the elastic sheet 321; so as to place or remove the tool holder 2 from the rotating shaft 1.

[0029] The movable component 33 is provided with an annular groove 7 and several receiving grooves 4. The receiving grooves 4 are evenly distributed around the rotating shaft 1. The elastic clamp 32 is installed in the receiving groove 4. The annular groove 7 is arranged around the receiving groove 4. The movable component 33 is movably disposed in the annular groove 7, that is, the movable component 33 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 1 and located in the annular groove 7. The annular groove 7 is used to limit the range of motion of the movable component 33. In an embodiment not shown, the range of motion of the movable component 33 can also be limited by setting a stop on the rotating shaft 1. The movable component 33 can be a split structure so as to disassemble and assemble it.

[0030] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 4 includes a first groove 41 and a second groove 42. The elastic clamp 32 is disposed in the first groove 41. The second groove 42 connects the first groove 41 and the cavity 10. The protrusion 322 extends into the cavity 10 through the second groove 42.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in the normal state, i.e., when the electromagnetic drive component 31 is not energized, the movable component 33 can move to the lower section of the annular groove 7 by its own gravity. The movable component 33 will wrap around the movable end of the elastic chuck 32, preventing the elastic chuck 32 from moving radially and ensuring that the tool holder 2 can be clamped; Figure 3 When the tool holder 2 needs to be replaced, the electromagnetic drive component 31 is energized to generate a magnetic field that attracts the movable component 33 to move upward to the upper section of the annular groove 7, exposing the movable end of the elastic chuck 32. This provides radially movable space for the elastic chuck 32, facilitating the removal or placement of the tool holder 2. The electromagnetic drive component 31 only needs to be energized when assembling or disassembling the tool holder 2, eliminating the need for continuous energization and saving energy.

[0032] In order to avoid the abrasion between the rotating shaft 1 and the movable part 33 when the rotating shaft 1 rotates; the movable part 33 is provided with a limiting part, which is used to keep the movable part 33 rotating synchronously with the rotating shaft 1. Wherein, the limiting part is located inside the movable part 33 and clamped in the accommodating groove 4, the limiting part can be a protrusion, cooperating with the accommodating groove 4 to make the movable part 33 rotate with the rotating shaft 1.

[0033] In order to ensure that the movable part 33 can be quickly and accurately reset; a reset part 34 is also provided to assist the movable part 33 to move to the specified position, wherein the reset part 34 can be a spring; the reset part 34 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 1 and located in the annular groove 7, the two ends of the reset part 34 abut against the rotating shaft 1 and the movable part 33 respectively, when the electromagnetic driving part 31 is powered on, the movable part 33 moves upward and compresses the reset part 34; when the electromagnetic driving part 31 is powered off, the reset part 34 will push the movable part 33 to reset quickly.
