Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lathe tooling technology, and in particular to an adjustable tooling for a general-purpose CNC lathe. Background Technology

[0002] Lathe fixtures refer to the various jigs and devices used for fixing, clamping, positioning, supporting and assisting cutting operations on CNC lathes. They are an indispensable part of the CNC lathe machining process, and their quality and performance directly affect the machining quality and production efficiency.

[0003] When machining external surfaces, internal supports are typically used to secure the workpiece to prevent collisions between the fixture and the cutting tool, which could damage the tool. However, while existing internal support fixtures can accommodate cylindrical workpieces of varying diameters, they struggle to provide effective internal support positioning and clamping when dealing with workpieces with elliptical inner holes, demonstrating their limited versatility. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable tooling for a general-purpose CNC lathe in order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable fixture for a general-purpose CNC lathe includes an assembly base. The top side of the assembly base has a sliding groove around its perimeter. An L-shaped clamping plate is slidably arranged within the groove. Two sets of symmetrically arranged L-shaped clamping plates have movable grooves on their horizontal ends. Extension plates are slidably arranged within the movable grooves. T-shaped threaded sleeves are fixedly connected to the inner side of the extension plates. A screw rod, which engages with the threaded sleeve, is rotatably mounted on the assembly base. Guide rods passing through both sides of the horizontal end of the threaded sleeve are fixedly connected to the sliding groove. The horizontal ends of the L-shaped clamping plates have clearance grooves to accommodate the screw rod, extension plates, guide rods, and threaded sleeve.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The free ends of the screws on both sides are fixedly fitted with driven bevel gears, and a drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the partition. A drive bevel gear that meshes with the driven bevel gears on both sides is fixedly fitted on the drive shaft. The screw threads on both sides have opposite directions of rotation.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] A first motor is fixedly installed on the partition plate, a worm gear is fixedly sleeved on the transmission shaft, and the output shaft of the first motor is connected to a worm that meshes with the worm gear.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] A second motor is fixedly installed on the mounting base. A rotating plate is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the second motor. An arc-shaped linkage groove extending from the outside to the inside is opened on the rotating plate. A round rod is slidably connected in the linkage groove. An waist-shaped groove is opened on the partition plate to accommodate the round rod passing through. The round rod is fixedly connected to an L-shaped clamping plate.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The top of the assembly base has a square groove that communicates with the slide groove. A square rod is slidably arranged in the square groove, and the two ends of the square rod are fixedly connected to a round rod and an L-shaped clamp, respectively.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The vertical end and extension plate of the L-shaped clamp are both arc-shaped plates.

[0017] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. In this utility model, when internally supporting an elliptical hole workpiece, the workpiece with a round hole is first internally supported until the L-shaped clamping plate abuts against the hole wall on the short axis of the elliptical hole. Then, the second motor drives the worm gear to rotate forward, and the worm gear drives the worm wheel to drive the transmission shaft and the active bevel gear to rotate. According to the gear meshing transmission principle, the driven bevel gears on both sides drive the screws on both sides to rotate. According to the thread transmission principle, the screw sleeve drives the extension plate to move outward until the extension plate abuts against the hole wall on the long axis of the elliptical hole, thus internally supporting, positioning, and clamping the elliptical hole workpiece, improving the versatility of this device.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, the rotating plate is driven to rotate clockwise by the second motor. Under the linkage of the linkage groove and the slide rod, the driving square rod drives the L-shaped clamping plate to move outward synchronously, so as to perform internal support positioning and clamping for the round hole workpiece.

A square rod 10 is slidably arranged within the square groove 102 to improve the stability of the movement of the L-shaped clamping plate 2. The two ends of the square rod 10 are fixedly connected to the round rod 11 and the L-shaped clamping plate 2, respectively. The second motor 13 drives the rotating plate 12 to rotate clockwise. Under the linkage of the linkage groove 1201 and the slide rod 11, the driving square rod 10 drives the L-shaped clamping plate 2 to move outward synchronously, so as to perform internal support positioning and clamping for the round hole workpiece.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1-3As shown, two sets of symmetrically arranged L-shaped clamps 2 have movable grooves 201 on their horizontal ends. An arc-shaped extension plate 14 is slidably arranged in the movable groove 201. A T-shaped threaded sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the extension plate 14. A screw 3 that is screwed into the threaded sleeve 16 is rotatably installed on the mounting base 1.

According to the gear meshing transmission principle, the driven bevel gears 4 on both sides drive the screws 3 on both sides to rotate. According to the thread transmission principle, the screw sleeve 16 drives the extension plate 14 to move outward until the extension plate 14 abuts against the hole wall on the long axis of the elliptical hole, thus providing internal support, positioning and clamping for the elliptical hole workpiece, improving the versatility of this device.

[0030] Working principle: When in use, firstly, the workpiece with the round hole is internally supported and positioned. The rotating plate 12 is driven to rotate clockwise by the second motor 13. Under the linkage of the linkage groove 1201 and the slide rod 11, the square rod 10 drives the L-shaped clamping plate 2 to move outward synchronously until the L-shaped clamping plate 2 abuts against the hole wall.

[0031] Secondly, when internally supporting an elliptical hole workpiece, first perform internal support as with a round hole workpiece until the front and rear L-shaped clamps 2 (according to...). Figure 1 The worm gear 9 (in the direction shown) abuts against the hole wall on the short axis of the elliptical hole. Then, the second motor 8 drives the worm gear 9 to rotate forward. The worm gear 9 drives the worm wheel 7 to drive the transmission shaft 6 and the driving bevel gear 5 to rotate. According to the gear meshing transmission principle, the driven bevel gears 4 on both sides drive the screws 3 on both sides to rotate. According to the thread transmission principle, the screw sleeve 16 drives the extension plate 14 to move outward until the extension plate 14 abuts against the hole wall on the long axis of the elliptical hole, thus providing internal support, positioning and clamping for the elliptical hole workpiece, improving the versatility of this device.
