[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] Example

[0020] This embodiment describes a positioning fixture for a CNC lathe, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes base 1, as... Figure 4 As shown, the base 1 is disc-shaped, and several bolts for connecting the lathe are installed on the base 1. The bolts are evenly distributed around the circumference, and the base 1 is connected to the lathe by the bolts.

[0021] A spindle 3 is detachably fixed to the base 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mandrel 3 is fixed to the right side wall of the base 1 by screws, and the mandrel 3 is aligned with the axis of the base 1; in use, the mandrel 3 is mounted on the workpiece, and there is a clearance fit between the outer surface of the mandrel 3 and the mandrel 3.

[0022] A through hole with both ends communicating is opened at the center of the end face of the mandrel 3, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the through hole has a square structure and is connected to the left and right end faces of the rotating shaft 2;

[0023] The outer wall of the mandrel 3 has several openings evenly distributed along its circumference and communicating with the through holes. Each opening contains an independently inserted extrusion block 4, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, there are four sets of openings. There is a gap between each extrusion block 4 and the wall of the corresponding through hole, so that all extrusion blocks 4 can move along the through hole. The extrusion blocks 4 move outward and press against the inner wall of the workpiece, thereby forming an interference fit with the inner wall of the workpiece.

[0024] All the extrusion blocks 4 have a support plate 9 fixed on the inward side wall. The support plate 9 is fixed to the extrusion block 4 by a detachable method such as screws. Because the push block 6 will rub against the support plate 9 and the top block 10 respectively, it will wear out after a long period of use and needs to be replaced after a period of time. The detachable method between the support plate 9 and the extrusion block 4 makes it easy to disassemble and replace.

[0025] A pusher block 6 is independently installed inside the through hole. The pusher block 6 can move along the through hole. The pusher block 6 has a rectangular structure that matches the shape of the through hole, so that the rectangular pusher block 6 will not flip over when it moves inside the through hole.

[0026] Each tray 9 is fixed with a top block 10, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top block 10 is located on the side wall of the support plate 9 facing the through hole, and is located on the middle section of the side wall;

[0027] All top blocks 10 have a first bevel at the corner facing the push block 6, and the push block 6 has a second bevel at the corner corresponding to each top block 10, which matches the first bevel; such as Figure 1 As shown, when the push block 6 moves a certain distance to the left, each first oblique angle will engage with the corresponding second oblique angle. The push block 6 pushes all the top blocks 10 to move synchronously into their corresponding openings. The top blocks 10 then push the support plate 9 to move outwards from the mandrel 3. The pressing block 4 presses against the inner wall of the workpiece's hole, and all the pressing blocks 4 abut against the inner wall of the workpiece's circular hole. This transforms the clearance fit between the positioning fixture and the workpiece into an interference fit, eliminating the gap between the mandrel 3 and the inner wall of the workpiece's circular hole, thereby improving the coaxiality accuracy of the machined workpiece. Figure 1 As shown, when push block 6 moves a certain distance to the left, push block 6 will fit against all top blocks 10, thereby supporting all top blocks 10 and positioning all extrusion blocks 4, ensuring that all extrusion blocks 4 remain pressed against the inner wall of the workpiece's circular hole; as Figure 1 As shown, the elongated extrusion block 4 can increase the contact area between the extrusion block 4 and the inner wall of the workpiece. When the four extrusion blocks 4 are pressed together, coaxiality can be ensured and the workpiece can be prevented from tilting during rotation.

[0028] To elaborate further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the preferred embodiment includes two meshing bevel gears 12, with the threaded rod 7 independently inserted at the center of the through hole, and the push block 6 having a threaded hole that is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 7; as shown Figure 1As shown, the push block 6 has a threaded hole that is threaded to the threaded rod 7. The push block 6 is fitted onto the threaded rod 7, and when the threaded rod 7 rotates, it can drive the push block 6 to move along the inside of the through hole. A baffle 5 is detachably fixed to the end of the spindle 3 away from the base 1. The baffle 5 is fixed to the right end face of the spindle 3 by screws, which prevents the push block 6 from coming out of the through hole. A groove is formed on the side wall of the base 1 facing the spindle 3, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the groove is located at the center of the right side wall of the base 1; the two ends of the threaded rod 7 are independently mounted on the bottom of the groove and the baffle 5, respectively. The bottom of the groove and the baffle 5 have mounting holes for independently mounting the two ends of the threaded rod 7, for positioning and installation; a rotating shaft 2 is independently mounted on the side wall of the base 1, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, a through hole communicating with the groove is provided on the outer side wall of the base 1, and the rotating shaft 2 is rotatably inserted into the through hole; a hexagonal collet is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 2 facing the outer side of the base 1. The hexagonal collet is a commonly used fitting part on existing bolts or fixing rods, such as... Figure 4 As shown, during use, one end of the hex wrench can be inserted into the slot of the hexagonal chuck, allowing the hex wrench and the hexagonal chuck to engage. A clearance groove is provided on the outer wall of the base 1, within which the hexagonal chuck is located. This clearance groove conceals the hexagonal chuck, preventing collisions between external objects and the chuck, and preventing the pressing block 4 from loosening from the workpiece. Two bevel gears 12 are respectively fitted onto the threaded rod 7 and the rotating shaft 2 at the ends located within the grooves, transmitting power to the threaded rod 7 and the rotating shaft 2 through the two bevel gears 12. When the screwdriver is engaged, one end of the hex wrench is inserted into the slot of the hexagonal chuck. The hex wrench drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 2 drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate through the meshing of two bevel gears 12. The threaded rod 7 then drives the push block 6 to move along the through hole through the threaded engagement. This solution constitutes a drive assembly for driving the push block 6 to move along the through hole. Of course, the drive assembly can also be a handle. One end of the threaded rod 7 passes through the baffle 5, and the handle is fixed on this end. The handle directly drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate, thereby driving the push block 6 to move along the through hole.

[0029] A positioning ring 11 is fixed on the end of the mandrel 3 facing the base 1. The positioning ring 11 is inserted into the groove and fits against the groove wall. When the mandrel 3 is installed on the base 1, the positioning ring 11 can be inserted into the groove to position the mandrel 3, thereby preventing the mandrel 3 from being misaligned and ensuring that the mandrel 3 is aligned with the axis of the base 1, so as to improve the coaxiality accuracy of the machined workpiece.

[0030] The positioning ring 11 has a chamfer at the corner facing the groove, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the chamfer on the positioning ring 11 can guide the positioning ring 11, making it easier for the positioning ring 11 to be inserted into the groove;

[0031] To elaborate further, such asFigure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the preferred embodiment includes two rubber rings 8. Annular grooves are formed on both ends of the mandrel 3, and slots are formed on both ends of all the extrusion blocks 4. The annular grooves on both ends of the mandrel 3 and the slots on both ends of all the extrusion blocks 4 combine to form a ring-shaped mounting groove. The two rubber rings 8 are respectively engaged in the two mounting grooves. Figure 2 and 4 As shown, the mounting groove is an annular structure, and the rubber ring 8 is interference-fitted with the mounting groove to prevent the rubber ring 8 from coming out of the mounting groove. When all the extrusion blocks 4 move outward, they will stretch the rubber ring 8, causing it to deform. When the workpiece needs to be removed, all the extrusion blocks 4 will release their pressure on the inner wall of the workpiece, and the rubber ring 8 will move all the extrusion blocks 4 back to the corresponding opening through its own elasticity. Both ends of the mandrel 3 are provided with rubber rings 8, so that both ends of each extrusion block 4 can be pulled at the same time, allowing all the extrusion blocks 4 to enter the corresponding opening. This solution constitutes a reset component for resetting all the moved extrusion blocks 4. The reset component can also use rubber bands. The mandrel 3 has annular grooves on both ends, and all the extrusion blocks 4 have slots on both ends. The annular grooves on both ends of the mandrel 3 and the slots on both ends of all the extrusion blocks 4 combine to form an annular mounting groove, and rubber bands are installed in the two mounting grooves.

[0032] In actual use, this positioning fixture is installed on a CNC lathe, and the round hole of the workpiece to be processed is fitted onto the mandrel 3. Then, one end of the hex wrench is inserted into the groove of the hexagonal chuck, and the hex wrench drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate. The rotating shaft 2 drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate through the meshing of two bevel gears 12. The threaded rod 7 drives the push block 6 to move along the through hole through the threaded engagement. When the push block 6 moves a certain distance to the left, each first bevel angle will engage with the corresponding second bevel angle. The push block 6 pushes all the top blocks 10 to move synchronously into the corresponding opening. The top blocks 10 push the support plate 9 to move outward of the mandrel 3, and the pressing block 4 presses against the inner wall of the workpiece. All the pressing blocks 4 are pressed tightly against the inner wall of the round hole of the workpiece, thereby changing the clearance fit between this positioning fixture and the workpiece into an interference fit, eliminating the gap between the mandrel 3 and the inner wall of the round hole of the workpiece, so as to improve the coaxiality accuracy of the processed workpiece.
