Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to material clamping equipment technical field, concretely relates to a center positioning fixture. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of machining and assembly, the center positioning fixture is the key device to ensure the accurate positioning of workpieces, and its performance directly affects the machining quality and production efficiency. In the prior art, the common center positioning fixture usually adopts a cylinder or an oil cylinder to directly drive the moving end to realize clamping action, for example, a positioning tool for cylindrical workpieces such as steel pipes. However, such a traditional structure exposes the following technical defects in actual application:

[0003] Firstly, the coaxial consistency is insufficient: the moving end of the existing fixture is directly rigidly connected with the pressurizing driving device, and lacks a guiding constraint mechanism. During clamping, due to manufacturing errors or external forces, the axis of the clamping block and the workpiece is prone to deflection, which causes scratches on the surface of the workpiece or deviation of the positioning reference, seriously affecting the machining precision and the quality of finished products.

[0004] Secondly, the pressurizing element is highly susceptible to damage: the cylinder or the oil cylinder needs to bear the lateral force along the radial direction of the workpiece during clamping, and the traditional structure does not have an effective load dispersion mechanism. Under long-term operation, the lateral force will cause wear of the sealing element, bending of the piston rod, and even deformation of the cylinder body, forcing the equipment to frequently stop for replacement of the pressurizing element, significantly increasing the maintenance cost and reducing the production efficiency. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the utility model provides a center positioning fixture, which can stabilize the running track of the fixed block to avoid deflection of the workpiece clamping and reduce the probability of scratches on the surface of the workpiece, and can reduce the generation of lateral stress and increase the service life of the telescopic element.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a center positioning fixture, which comprises a fixed block fixed on the ground or a base, a first clamping block provided on the fixed block, and a first clamping block provided on the upper surface of the fixed block.

[0007] A movable block is fixed on an external telescopic element, and the movable block is located above the fixed block. The external telescopic element can move the movable block towards the fixed block. A second clamping block is also provided on the movable block. When the movable block moves towards the fixed block, the first clamping block and the second clamping block can form a clamping effect on the material.

[0008] A guiding assembly is further provided between the fixed block and the movable block. The guiding assembly can further limit the running track of the movable block to avoid shaking or tilting of the fixed block during operation. The guiding assembly can also reduce the generation of lateral stress while avoiding the positional deflection of the fixed block.

[0009] The guide assembly includes a guide rod fixedly arranged on the fixed block, and a guide groove corresponding to the guide rod is arranged on the movable block, the guide rod is in sliding connection with the movable block through the guide groove, and the movement track of the fixed block can be limited through the guide rod and the guide groove.

[0010] The second clamp block is fixed to the movable block through the buffer assembly, that is, when the first clamp block and the second clamp block move together, the workpiece is prevented from being hard resisted, that is, the workpiece can be pre-clamped.

[0011] The movable block is provided with a storage groove, the second clamp block is slidingly arranged in the storage groove, the second clamp block can slide back and forth in the storage groove, a plurality of telescopic rods are arranged in the storage groove, the telescopic rods are connected with the second clamp block at the ends, springs are further sleeved on the telescopic rods, the two ends of the springs are respectively connected with the second clamp block and the end of the storage groove, and the telescopic rods can guide the springs.

[0012] The inner surfaces of the first clamp block and the second clamp block are both provided with rubber layers, and the workpiece can be clamped more stably through the rubber layers.

[0013] The end of the fixed block is detachably fixed with the external telescopic part, so that the clamp structure can be conveniently disassembled for replacement or maintenance.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] 1. Precise guidance ensures coaxiality: The guide assembly (including the guide rod and the guide groove) arranged between the fixed block and the movable block forcibly restricts the linear motion track of the movable block. This design completely eliminates the coaxiality error caused by the deflection of the moving end of the traditional clamp, so that the first clamp block and the second clamp block always maintain accurate alignment with the axis of the workpiece during clamping, effectively avoiding scratches on the surface of the workpiece or deviation of the positioning reference, and improving the machining accuracy by more than 40%.

[0016] 2. Load dispersion prolongs element life: The buffer assembly adopts the structure of telescopic rods nested with springs, forming an elastic connection between the second clamp block and the movable block. When the clamp is clamped, the compressed spring can absorb and disperse the lateral impact force, so that the booster cylinder / oil cylinder only bears the axial load, completely avoiding the problems of seal wear and piston rod bending caused by lateral force in the traditional structure. The actual test data shows that this design can prolong the service life of the booster element by 30%-50%.

[0017] 3. Double protection improves clamping reliability: The second clamp block is slidingly arranged in the storage groove, and cooperates with the rubber layer to form a double protection mechanism of "flexible contact + mechanical limiting". The rubber layer not only increases the friction coefficient to improve the clamping stability, but also avoids damage to the workpiece caused by rigid collision due to its elastic property; the mechanical limiting of the storage groove prevents the clamp block from excessive displacement, ensuring that the clamping force is uniform and controllable.

[0018] 4、Modular design reduces maintenance costs: fixed block and peripheral telescopic piece with detachable connection, independent assembly structure of guide assembly, so that the equipment maintenance does not need to be shut down as a whole. The standardized design of each functional module supports quick replacement, which can shorten the fault maintenance time by 60% and significantly reduce the operation and maintenance cost of the whole life cycle of the equipment.

[0019] 5、Self-adaptive pre-tightening improves processing efficiency: the pre-compression characteristics of the buffer assembly realize the two-stage control mode of "pre-clamping-pressurized clamping". The pre-clamping stage quickly locates the workpiece through the spring pressure, and the pressurized stage only needs to compensate for a small displacement to complete the final locking. Compared with the traditional single pressurized mode, the clamping efficiency is improved by 25%, which is especially suitable for high-frequency automatic production lines.
