[0025] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sapphire external cylindrical grinding clamping device provided by this utility model includes a base 1. A horizontally extendable pushing mechanism 2 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the base 1. The moving ends of the pushing mechanisms 2 can move closer to or further apart from each other. The pushing mechanism 2 is prior art and is not the focus of this utility model; its ability to achieve horizontal extension is sufficient, so it will not be described in detail. Each moving end of the two pushing mechanisms 2 is equipped with a rotatable rotary mechanism 7. The axes of the two rotary mechanisms 7 are on the same straight line. The rotary mechanism 7 is prior art and is not the focus of this utility model; its ability to rotate is sufficient, so it will not be described in detail.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This embodiment provides a sapphire external cylindrical grinding clamping device, including a base 1. A horizontally extendable pushing mechanism 2 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the base 1. A rotatable rotary mechanism 7 is provided at the moving end of each pushing mechanism 2. A coaxial support bracket 3 is provided at the end of each rotary mechanism 7 away from the pushing mechanism 2. The axes of the two support brackets 3 are on the same straight line. A clamping sleeve 4 is fitted to one support bracket 3, and a ejector pin 5 is fitted to the other support bracket 3. The clamping sleeve 4 clamps one end of the sapphire rod to be processed, and the ejector pin 5 presses against the other end of the sapphire rod. The two rotary mechanisms 7 synchronously drive the sapphire rod to rotate for grinding. The axes of the clamping sleeve 4 and the ejector pin 5 are on the same straight line as the axes of the support bracket 3 and the rotary mechanism 7.

[0029] Specifically, the clamping sleeve 4 includes a coaxially arranged connecting sleeve 41, a clamping jaw 42, and a locking sleeve 43. One end of the connecting sleeve 41 is mounted on a matching support 3, and the other end of the connecting sleeve 41 is fixedly connected to the clamping jaw 42. The locking sleeve 43 is sleeved on the connecting sleeve 41 and the clamping jaw 42, and one end of the locking sleeve 43 is threaded to the connecting sleeve 41. One end of the connecting sleeve 41 is connected to the clamping jaw 42. The end of the clamping jaw 42 away from the connecting sleeve 41 is provided with circumferentially evenly arranged clamping arc pieces. When not subjected to external force, all the clamping arc pieces form a trumpet-shaped structure with a large opening at the end away from the connecting sleeve 41. That is, the inner diameter of the opening of the trumpet-shaped structure away from the connecting sleeve 41 is larger than the opening near the connecting sleeve 41. With a small inner diameter, the locking sleeve 43 has a cylindrical structure. As the locking sleeve 43 rotates, it gradually moves closer to the ejector pin 5, causing all the clamping plates to gradually tighten and converge, forming a smaller trumpet-shaped or cylindrical structure. After the sleeve clamping claw 42 is tightened, its inner diameter is slightly smaller than that of the sapphire rod. In this way, the locking sleeve 43 locks the sleeve clamping claw 42, so that the sapphire rod is clamped and fixed, and can always be on the same axis as the clamping sleeve 4. This ensures that the sapphire rod is always concentric with the ejector pin 5 during machining, improving machining accuracy. In addition, the locking sleeve 43 is connected by a rotating thread, making it convenient to lock or release the sleeve clamping claw 42, and the clamping sleeve 4 will not fail due to the failure of the push mechanism 2.

[0030] Specifically, to further improve the locking convenience of the locking sleeve 43 to the clamping jaws 42, an arc-inducing surface 43c is provided at the end of the inner curved surface of the locking sleeve 43 near the ejector pin 5, a pressure-guiding slope 43b is provided at the end of the arc-inducing surface 43c away from the ejector pin 5, and a pressing surface 43a is provided at the end of the pressure-guiding slope 43b away from the ejector pin 5. The pressing surface 43a is parallel to the axis. The arc-inducing surface 43c and the pressure-guiding slope 43b are used to initially tighten the clamping plate, and the pressing surface 43a is used to finally tighten the clamping plate. A thread 1 is connected at the end of the pressing surface 43a away from the ejector pin 5. All the outer curved surfaces of the clamping plates are provided with a thread 2 that mates with the thread 1. The locking sleeve 43 and the clamping jaws 42 are threadedly connected through the mating of the thread 1 and the thread 2, and the clamping jaws 42 are locked to clamp and fix the sapphire rod.

[0031] Specifically, an inner convex limiting ring is provided at the end of the inner curved surface of the locking sleeve 43 away from the ejector pin 5. The inner curved surface of the inner convex limiting ring is provided with thread three. Thread three and thread four are mutually compatible. Thread four is provided on the outer curved surface of the connecting sleeve 41 near the sleeve clamp 42. The locking sleeve 43 and the connecting sleeve 41 are threadedly connected through thread three and thread four, thereby realizing the threaded connection between the locking sleeve 43 and the connecting sleeve 41, further improving the stability of the locking sleeve 43 to the sleeve clamp 42.

[0032] The threaded connections involved in this embodiment are not shown in the relevant accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to further improve the fit of the ejector pin 5, Embodiment 2 coaxially sets a C-shaped head 44 inside the connecting sleeve 41. The cross-section of the C-shaped head 44 is C-shaped, and the open end of the C-shaped head 44 is away from the ejector pin 5. The open end of the C-shaped head 44 is provided with multiple limiting blocks 441. Each limiting block 441 passes through the guide hole and is engaged between the locking sleeve 43 and the connecting sleeve 41. The limiting block 441 moves in the space corresponding to the thread 4. The limiting block 441 moves towards the ejector pin 5 by being pushed by the inner convex limiting ring of the locking sleeve 43. When the sleeve clamp 42 is locked, the C-shaped head 44 abuts against the sapphire rod. The C-shaped head 44 and the ejector pin 5 cooperate to better clamp the sapphire rod. The guide hole is set on the connecting sleeve 41 and is adapted to the position of the thread 4.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] Based on Embodiments 1 and 2, in order to further reduce the damage to the sapphire rod by the clip sleeve 4 and the ejector pin 5, this Embodiment 3 provides a protective pad 45 on the inner curved surface of each clip plate and a protective sleeve pad 51 on the top of the ejector pin 5.

[0037] Example 4

[0038] In this fourth embodiment, to accommodate sapphire rods of more diameters and facilitate the replacement of the clamp sleeve 4, the clamp sleeve 4 is threadedly connected to the matching support bracket 3. A limiting hole 6 is provided at the location where the clamp sleeve 4 and the support bracket 3 are connected, and the limiting hole 6 is threadedly connected to a bolt. This further improves the stability of the connection between the clamp sleeve 4 and the support bracket 3 and is also more conducive to locking and fixing the clamp sleeve 4. In addition, to better adapt the ejector pin 5 to the sapphire rod, the ejector pin 5 is also threadedly connected to the matching support bracket 3. A limiting hole 6 is also provided at the location where the ejector pin 5 and the support bracket 3 are connected, and the limiting hole 6 is threadedly connected to a bolt. This further improves the stability of the connection between the ejector pin 5 and the support bracket 3.

[0039] Specifically, a connecting thread five is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the connecting sleeve 41 away from the sleeve clamp 42, and a connecting thread six is ​​provided on the matching support 3. The clamp sleeve 4 and the matching support 3 are fixedly connected by the threaded connection of the connecting thread five and the connecting thread six. A threaded connection hole is provided in the ejector pin 5, and a connecting thread six is ​​also provided on the matching support 3. The connecting thread six is ​​rotated into the threaded connection hole for threaded connection. The ejector pin 5 and the matching support 3 are fixedly connected by the threaded connection of the threaded connection hole and the connecting thread six.

[0040] The threaded connections involved in this embodiment are not shown in the relevant accompanying drawings.

[0041] In use: Place one end of the sapphire rod into the clamping jaw 42, and rotate the locking sleeve 43 gradually towards the ejector pin 5, so that all the clamping plates gradually tighten and come together. The locking sleeve 43 locks the clamping jaw 42, thus clamping and fixing the sapphire rod. The pushing mechanism 2 pushes the ejector pin 5 to move and press the other end of the sapphire rod to be processed against it. The two rotating mechanisms 7 drive the sapphire rod to rotate and polish. The locking sleeve 43 is threadedly connected to the clamping jaw 42 through rotation and locks the clamping jaw 42, making the clamping effect of the sapphire rod better. The locking sleeve 43 and the ejector pin 5 work together to ensure that the sapphire rod is always on the same axis, which improves the processing accuracy and solves the problem of unstable fixing of the sapphire rod due to the failure of the pushing mechanism 2.
