Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a tension clamp, in particular to a tension clamp for small thin-walled shell parts. BACKGROUND

[0002] Thin-walled parts refer to parts with thin wall thickness, usually with wall thickness less than or equal to one-tenth of the radial dimension (such as diameter or width). Such parts are widely used in aerospace, automotive, electronics and other fields, and are favored for their light weight, compact structure and other advantages. In the machining process of small thin-walled shells, the traditional clamp for fixing the product often cannot meet the machining requirements. For example, after the product is machined in the first process, the machined part needs to be clamped and positioned to complete the machining of the other end of the product. However, using the traditional three-jaw chuck to clamp the product, due to the small wall thickness of the product, even if the smallest clamping force of the hydraulic chuck is used, the product will deform due to insufficient strength, making it impossible to clamp and machine normally. SUMMARY

[0003] The utility model discloses a tension clamp for small thin-walled shell parts. It has the advantages of convenient clamping and not easy to damage thin shell parts.

[0004] The utility model discloses a technical scheme of a tension clamp for small thin-walled shell parts, which comprises a mounting sleeve for connecting a machine tool, a tension end cover arranged at the end of the mounting sleeve, and an adjusting mechanism arranged in the mounting sleeve and used for pulling the tension end cover to tension the thin shell part. The tension end cover comprises an annular positioning portion and a pressing portion arranged at the end of the annular positioning portion. The pressing portion is provided with an avoidance hole corresponding to the part. A plurality of avoidance grooves are arranged outside the avoidance hole. A first force transmission hole is arranged in the annular positioning portion and coaxially arranged with the adjusting mechanism.

[0005] In the foregoing tension clamp for small thin-walled shell parts, the adjusting mechanism comprises a tension spindle arranged in the mounting sleeve and axially movable relative to the mounting sleeve, an external threaded section arranged outside the mounting sleeve, and a nut arranged outside the external threaded section. Two groups of parallel and axially arranged through holes are arranged in the tension spindle. A first force transmission rod is arranged in the through hole close to the tension end cover. A second force transmission rod is arranged in the through hole away from the tension end cover. A stepped hole corresponding to the second force transmission rod is arranged at the end of the nut away from the tension end cover. The first force transmission rod passes through the first force transmission hole, and anti-drop screws are arranged at both ends of the first force transmission rod. A positioning hole and a directional groove corresponding to the part are arranged at the end of the mounting sleeve. Six groups of equally divided second force transmission holes are further arranged in the nut.

[0006] In the foregoing tension clamp for small thin-walled shell parts, a straight groove corresponding to the first force transmission rod and the second force transmission rod is arranged axially in the mounting sleeve.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages of the following:

[0008] The small thin shell part is preliminarily positioned in the positioning hole and the directional slot in the end portion of the mounting sleeve, then the adjusting mechanism drives the tension end cover to move relative to the mounting sleeve until the pressing part of the tension end cover acts on the small thin shell part, and the small thin shell part is pressed, the installation is convenient, and the fixing of the small thin shell part by the tension end cover can increase the stress area and reduce the risk of damage of the small thin shell part.
