[0032] A heat treatment support fixture for shaft-type parts, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes a support top frame 10 for heat treatment of shaft-type parts 60. A fixed clamp 20 and a movable clamp 30 are mounted on the bottom of the support top frame 10. Both the fixed clamp 20 and the movable clamp 30 have part chucks 40 for clamping the shaft-type parts 60 mounted on their bottoms. A slide 31 is provided on the top of the movable clamp 30. A guide groove with a cross-sectional dimension adapted to and slidingly fitted to the slide 31 is formed on the bottom surface of the support top frame 10. A screw hole 34 is formed on the slide 31. The part chucks 40 contact the shaft-type parts 60. A positioning groove 41 is provided on one side surface of the clamping head 40. A clamping hydraulic cylinder 32 is vertically installed in both the fixed clamping seat 20 and the movable clamping seat 30. The bottom of the piston rod of the clamping hydraulic cylinder 32 extends into the positioning groove 41. A servo motor 50 is installed at one end of the support top frame 10 near the movable clamping seat 30. The output shaft of the servo motor 50 is connected to a lead screw 51 located in a guide groove. The lead screw 51 is threaded and matches the size of the screw hole 34. The support top frame 10 provides a stable support foundation for the entire tooling. The positioning groove 41 on the part chuck 40 can accurately position the shaft part 60, ensuring its accurate position during heat treatment. The clamping hydraulic cylinder 32 can extend its piston rod into the positioning groove 41 to apply clamping force to the shaft part 60, ensuring secure clamping. The slide 31 on the top of the movable clamp 30 slides in conjunction with the guide groove on the bottom surface of the support top frame 10. At the same time, the screw hole 34 on the slide 31 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 51. The servo motor 50 drives the lead screw 51 to rotate, so that the movable clamp 30 can slide in the guide groove. This allows the position of the movable clamp 30 to be adjusted according to the length of the shaft part 60, adapting to shaft parts of different sizes and improving the versatility and practicality of the tooling.
[0033] Furthermore, a connecting column 11 is installed at the top center of the support frame 10 to connect with an external robotic arm or operating lever. A mounting base 12 is coaxially connected to the top of the connecting column 11, which allows the heat treatment support fixture for the shaft-type parts to be easily connected to an external robotic arm or operating lever. The fixture can be flexibly transported, positioned and operated with the help of external equipment, improving the automation level and ease of use in the heat treatment production line, and adapting to different working scenarios and process requirements.
[0034] It is worth noting that the guide groove of the support top frame 10, away from the servo motor 50, is equipped with a bearing 13 for fixing the lead screw 51. This can effectively support one end of the lead screw 51, reduce the radial runout and axial movement of the lead screw 51 during rotation, and ensure the stability and accuracy of the lead screw 51 rotation.
[0035] Specifically, a replaceable clamping block 33 is coaxially mounted on the bottom of the piston rod of the clamping hydraulic cylinder 32. The replaceable clamping block 33 is connected to the center thread of the bottom of the piston rod of the clamping hydraulic cylinder 32 via a screw, which allows for easy replacement of clamping blocks of different materials, shapes, or sizes when dealing with shaft parts 60 with different surface characteristics or precision requirements. This not only meets diverse clamping needs and improves adaptability to different parts, but also facilitates timely replacement of the clamping blocks after wear, reducing tooling maintenance costs and extending the service life of the tooling.
[0036] In addition, the bottom surface of the positioning groove 41 is arc-shaped, which can better fit the outer circular surface of the shaft part 60, increase the contact area with the shaft part, and make the positioning of the shaft part in the positioning groove more stable and reliable.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model's heat treatment support fixture for shaft parts is as follows:
[0038] First, the tooling is connected to an external robotic arm or control lever by using the mounting base 12 at the top of the connecting column 11, which facilitates subsequent operation and movement.
[0039] Next, based on the actual length of the shaft part 60, the servo motor 50 is started; the output shaft of the servo motor 50 drives the lead screw 51 to rotate. Since the lead screw 51 is threadedly connected to the screw hole 34 of the slide block 31 on the movable clamp 30, the movable clamp 30 will slide in the guide groove on the bottom surface of the support top frame 10. When it is adjusted to a suitable position, the servo motor 50 is stopped.
[0040] Subsequently, the two ends of the shaft part 60 are placed in the positioning grooves 41 of the two end part clamps 40 respectively. The arc-shaped bottom surface of the positioning groove 41 can fit tightly against the shaft part 60 to achieve initial positioning. Then, the clamping hydraulic cylinder 32 is activated, and the replaceable clamping block 33 at the bottom of its piston rod extends to further clamp the shaft part 60. The clamping block can be replaced according to the different needs of the shaft part.
[0041] Finally, with the help of a robotic arm or lever, the tooling containing the shaft part 60 is moved into the heat treatment equipment for processing. After the heat treatment is completed, the clamping hydraulic cylinder 32 is controlled to retract the piston rod, releasing the shaft part 60. Then, the tooling is removed from the heat treatment equipment, and the heat-treated shaft part is unloaded, thus completing the entire usage process.
[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
