[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 A positioning fixture for machining marine propeller shafts includes a base 1, a mounting bracket 2 mounted on the top of the base 1, and a control cabinet 27 mounted on one side of the mounting bracket 2. The control cabinet 27 contains a controller, which is one of a control motherboard, a host computer, or a PLC logic controller.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a connecting sleeve 20 is rotatably connected to the side of the mounting frame 2, and both ends of the connecting sleeve 20 extend to both sides of the mounting frame 2. Two L-shaped mounting plates 8 are symmetrically installed at one end of the connecting sleeve 20, and one end of each L-shaped mounting plate 8 extends to one side of the connecting sleeve 20. Two clamping blocks 9 are symmetrically arranged between the two L-shaped mounting plates 8. Opening slots 28 are opened on the close surfaces of the two clamping blocks 9. In actual use, the marine propeller shaft can be clamped and fixed by the two clamping blocks 9.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each clamping block 9 has a second fixing block 26 installed on both sides. The two second fixing blocks 26 located on the same side are connected by a bidirectional lead screw 25. One of the L-shaped mounting plates 8 has a first fixing block 19 extending from both ends. One end of the bidirectional lead screw 25 is rotatably connected to the side of the corresponding first fixing block 19. The top of the other first fixing block 19 is equipped with a dual-axis motor 6, which is a brake motor. Both ends of the dual-axis motor 6 are rotatably connected to the side of the second mounting plate 7 fixed on both sides of the first fixing block 19. Both ends of the dual-axis motor 6 are connected to the bidirectional lead screw 25 through a gearbox 23. The gearbox 23 is fixed to the side of the second mounting plate 7. The dual-axis motor 6 is connected to the controller through wires. In actual use, the dual-axis motor 6 can synchronously drive the two bidirectional lead screws 25 to rotate, thereby controlling the two clamping blocks 9 to move synchronously relative to each other, clamping and fixing the marine propeller shaft. At the same time as clamping and fixing, the marine propeller shaft can also be positioned.

[0030] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the opening slot 28 is set as a "V" shaped structure. During use, when the two clamping blocks 9 move relative to each other, the inclined surface of the opening slot 28 can contact the surface of the marine propeller shaft to clamp and fix the marine propeller shaft.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first mounting plate 5 is mounted on the top of the mounting bracket 2. A gear 22 is rotatably connected to one side of the first mounting plate 5, and one end of the gear 22 is connected to a first drive motor 4. The first drive motor 4 is fixed on the side of the first mounting plate 5 and is connected to a controller via a wire. A gear ring 21 is mounted on the side of the connecting sleeve 20 away from the L-shaped mounting plate 8. The gear ring 21 meshes with the gear 22. During use, the first drive motor 4 can drive the gear 22 to rotate, and then the connecting sleeve 20 can rotate under the cooperation of the gear 22 and the gear ring 21. In this way, the marine propeller shaft will rotate, thus allowing the surface of the marine propeller shaft to be machined.

[0032] It should be noted that, as Figure 3As shown, a conductive slip ring 3 is installed on the side of the connecting sleeve 20. The stator of the conductive slip ring 3 is fixed on the side of the mounting bracket 2, and the rotor of the conductive slip ring 3 is fixed on the connecting sleeve 20. The rotor of the conductive slip ring 3 is connected to the dual-axis motor 6 through a wire, and the stator of the conductive slip ring 3 is connected to the controller through a wire. In this way, when the connecting sleeve 20 rotates, the dual-axis motor 6 can still be powered normally under the action of the conductive slip ring 3, so that the dual-axis motor 6 can maintain normal operation.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top of the base 1 is provided with a support platform 18. The bottom of the support platform 18 is fixed to the top of the base 1 by a hydraulic rod 17. The hydraulic rod 17 is connected to the controller by a wire. Several pairs of support frames 11 are symmetrically installed on the top of the support platform 18. Each pair of support frames 11 is rotatably connected to a conveyor roller 10. In actual use, the support platform 18 can be pushed up and down by the hydraulic rod 17. After the marine propeller shaft is placed on the conveyor roller 10, the marine propeller shaft can be lifted between the two clamping blocks 9 by controlling the support platform 18 to rise, which is convenient for loading.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of each conveyor roller 10 is connected to a first sprocket 12. A second sprocket 14 is rotatably connected to the side of one of the support frames 11 via a fixing frame 24. The first sprocket 12 and the second sprocket 14 are connected by a chain, and the second sprocket 14 is connected to the output shaft of the second drive motor 13. The second drive motor 13 is fixed on the side of the fixing frame 24 and is connected to the controller via a wire. In actual use, when the marine propeller shaft is lifted between the two clamping blocks 9, the operator can control the second drive motor 13 to work through the controller. Under the action of the first sprocket 12 and the second sprocket 14, the conveyor roller 10 can be rotated, pushing one end of the marine propeller shaft placed on the conveyor roller 10 between the two clamping blocks 9 for easy clamping.

[0035] It should be noted that each conveyor roller 10 is inclined, and a V-shaped groove is formed between the two conveyor rollers 10. The marine propeller shaft is located in the V-shaped groove. In actual use, the marine propeller shaft can be limited by the conveyor rollers 10, so that the marine propeller shaft is located between the two sets of conveyor rollers 10. In this way, the marine propeller shaft can be positioned when loading, and the conveying of the marine propeller shaft can be completed by rotating only one set of conveyor rollers 10.

[0036] Specifically, in use, the operator places the marine propeller shaft between two sets of conveyor rollers 10, and then controls the hydraulic rod 17 to extend via the controller. The hydraulic rod 17 lifts the support platform 18, raising the marine propeller shaft to a preset height. The controller then controls the second drive motor 13 to operate. Under the action of the first sprocket 12 and the second sprocket 14, the second drive motor 13 drives the conveyor rollers 10 to rotate, moving one end of the marine propeller shaft between the two clamping blocks 9. When the marine propeller shaft moves to the preset position, the controller shuts off the second drive motor 13 and simultaneously... The conductive slip ring 3 controls the operation of the dual-axis motor 6. The dual-axis motor 6 drives the two bidirectional lead screws 25 to rotate synchronously through the gearbox 23, so that the two clamping blocks 9 move synchronously relative to each other, clamping and fixing the marine propeller shaft and completing the positioning at the same time. Then, the controller controls the hydraulic rod 17 to retract, so that the support platform 18 is lowered to the preset position. Then, the controller controls the first drive motor 4 to work. The first drive motor 4 drives the connecting sleeve 20 to rotate under the action of the gear 22 and the gear ring 21. Thus, the rotation of the marine propeller shaft can be controlled as needed, and the marine propeller shaft can be processed by the processing mechanism.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a limiting rod 29 is vertically installed on the top of each first fixing block 19. The top of the limiting rod 29 slides through two second fixing blocks 26 located on the same side. The limiting rod 29 can limit the two clamping blocks 9, so that the clamping blocks 9 remain stable.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, connecting blocks 15 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the support platform 18, and several guide rods 16 are vertically installed on the top of the base 1. The top of each guide rod 16 slides through the corresponding connecting block 15. The guide rods 16 can limit the support platform 18, so that the support platform 18 remains stable.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
