Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of expansion mandrel technology, specifically a mandrel that clamps products by expansion force. Background Technology
[0002] The expansion mandrel is an internal hole positioning and tightening fixture used by lathe operators when machining components on a lathe. It has a clamping body, one end of which is a clamping part, and the other end is a deformation and tightening end. The exterior of the deformation and tightening end has a positioning point and an expansion clamping point, and a stress groove is opened between the positioning point and the expansion clamping point. An expansion screw is screwed into the interior of the deformation and tightening end, and the cap of the expansion screw is truncated cone-shaped.
[0003] In modern manufacturing, with the continuous improvement of product precision, the requirements for clamping technology are becoming increasingly stringent. In order to improve the processing accuracy of products and meet the needs of high-precision processing, a mandrel that clamps products by means of expansion force is needed to achieve uniform clamping of products. When existing expansion mandrels clamp the clamping parts, the conical shaft squeezes the inner wall of the clamping part. Generally, the outer wall of the conical shaft is relatively smooth, which makes the friction between the conical shaft and the inner wall of the clamping part insufficient. This will lead to uneven or unstable clamping force on the product by the device, resulting in a decrease in the processing accuracy of the product by the device. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a mandrel for clamping products by expansion force includes a base 1. A coupling disk 2 is provided on the top of the base 1, and the inner wall width of the coupling disk 2 is the same as the inner wall width of the base 1. A mandrel body 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the coupling disk 2, and a positioning groove is provided at the bottom of the mandrel body 3. At the same time, a sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the mandrel body 3. Four buckles 4 are snapped on the inner wall of the mandrel body 3, and the four buckles 4 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the mandrel body 3. Four sets of tensioning blocks 5 are provided on the top of the mandrel body 3, and the tensioning blocks 5 are connected to the mandrel body 3 by means of tensioning. The base 1 is connected to the mandrel 3 via the buckle 4. The base 1 supports the coupling plate 2 on top of it and protects the drive mechanism 8 inside. The coupling plate 2 limits the mandrel 3 through the groove inside. The four sets of buckles 4 can respectively engage the four sets of tensioning blocks 5 with the mandrel 3. By setting the tensioning blocks 5, it is easy to move downward along the outside of the tapered shaft 7, thereby fixing the product with a circular inner diameter by expanding outward through the expansion force.
[0023] A connecting plate 6 is fixed to the inner wall of the coupling disc 2, and the inner wall of the connecting plate 6 is provided with threaded holes. A sliding plate 21 is fixed to the outer side of the connecting plate 6, and the outer side of the sliding plate 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mandrel body 3. At the same time, the inner wall of the mandrel body 3 is provided with a sliding groove and is slidably connected to the sliding plate 21. A conical shaft 7 is provided at the top of the connecting plate 6, and the outer side of the conical shaft 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tension block 5. The base 1 is provided with a drive mechanism 8 for driving the main body to run. The connecting plate 6 can support the conical shaft 7 at its top by being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mandrel body 3 by the outer sliding plate. The conical shaft 7 can cause the tension block 5, which is attached to its outer side, to expand outward and fit tightly against the inner wall of the workpiece to be fixed, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the workpiece. By providing the drive mechanism 8, the mandrel body 3 can be moved downward by the cooperation of its internal structure.
[0024] The drive mechanism 8 includes a cylinder 81 vertically mounted on the inner wall of the base 1. The piston rod of the cylinder 81 is fixedly connected to a lifting block 82, and the lifting block 82 is set in a positioning groove opened at the bottom of the spindle body 3. It should be noted that the lower part of the lifting block 82 is cylindrical and the upper part is conical. By setting the cylinder 81, it is easy to drive the lifting block 82, which is fixed at one end of its piston rod, to move. The lifting block 82 can fit into the positioning groove opened at the bottom of the spindle body 3. At the same time, the cylinder 81 drives the spindle body 3 to move downward.
[0025] A limiting plate 9 is provided on the top of the inner wall of the coupling plate 2. The limiting plate 9 is a ring design. Six sets of first fixing bolts 10 are provided on the inner wall of the limiting plate 9, and the outer sides of the six sets of first fixing bolts 10 are threaded to the inner wall of the coupling plate 2. It should be noted that the inner ring size of the limiting plate 9 is larger than that of the spindle body 3 but smaller than that of the coupling plate 2. This design can shield the spindle body 3 and prevent the spindle body 3 from derailing during operation. The setting of multiple sets of first fixing bolts 10 can connect the limiting plate 9 and the coupling plate 2 from different directions, improving the stability of the limiting plate 9. A nut 11 is provided inside the space formed by the closing of the tension block 5. A vertically arranged lead screw 12 is fixed to the bottom of the nut 11, and the bottom end of the lead screw 12 is threaded to the inner wall of the connecting plate 6. A threaded hole 13 is opened on the inner wall of the tapered shaft 7. The inner wall of the threaded hole 13 is threadedly engaged with the outer side of the lead screw 12. The setting of the nut 11 can be used to... When the hex wrench is turned, the lead screw 12 can be turned into the threaded hole 13 by rotating the nut 11 until the thread is connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 6, thereby fixing the tapered shaft 7 to the top of the connecting plate 6. The top of the coupling plate 2 is provided with a chuck 14. The inner circle size of the chuck 14 is smaller than the outer edge size of the tension block 5. Since the inner circle of the chuck 14 is smaller than the size of the tension block 5 after assembly, the setting of the chuck 14 will not affect the normal operation of the device. The inner wall of the chuck 14 is evenly provided with six sets of first mounting holes 15. The inner wall of each of the six sets of first mounting holes 15 is provided with a second fixing bolt 16, and the bottom end of the second fixing bolt 16 is threaded to the inner wall of the coupling plate 2. The setting of multiple sets of first mounting holes 15 can place multiple sets of second fixing bolts 16, so that the device can fix the chuck 14 and the coupling plate 2 from different angles by the second fixing bolts 16, thereby improving the stability of the device.
[0026] The inner wall of the coupling disc 2 has six sets of second mounting holes 17, and each of the six sets of second mounting holes 17 has a threaded post 18 inside. The bottom end of the threaded post 18 is threaded to the inner wall of the base 1. The multiple sets of second mounting holes 17 can accommodate multiple sets of threaded posts 18, allowing the device to connect the coupling disc 2 and the base 1 from multiple directions via the threaded posts 18. Three mounting blocks 19 are fixed on the outer side of the base 1, and the three mounting blocks 19 are evenly distributed. The inner wall of each of the three mounting blocks 19 has a positioning hole 20. The three mounting blocks 19 are evenly distributed and combined into a triangular shape. The triangular structure can improve the stability of the main body, and the positioning hole 20 can connect the main body to the worktable with screws.
[0027] Working principle: In use, the round product to be processed is first placed outside the tension block 5. Then, the cylinder 81 is activated, which drives the lifting block 82 to move downward. The lifting block 82, through the protrusion on its outer side, engages with the positioning groove at the bottom of the mandrel 3, thereby driving the mandrel 3 to move downward. The mandrel 3 pulls the tension block 5, which is engaged by the buckle 4, downward. At the same time, because the inner circle size of the chuck 14 is smaller than the outer edge size of the closed tension block 5, the tension block 5 can be limited without affecting the tension. In normal use, the tension block 5 moves downward along the oblique path of the conical shaft 7, thereby causing the four sets of tension blocks 5 to expand outward, thus clamping the round product to be processed by the expansion force. During the movement of the mandrel body 3, the limiting plate 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the coupling plate 2 by the first fixing bolt 10, thereby limiting the mandrel body 3. At the same time, the coupling plate 2 is fixed by multiple sets of threaded columns 18, and the chuck 14 is fixed by multiple sets of second fixing bolts 16, thus effectively improving the stability of the main body.
