Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anti-deformation technology for thin-walled shells, specifically to a clamping device for anti-deformation processing of thin-walled shells. Background Technology
[0002] Thin-walled shells refer to shell structures with a relatively small wall thickness compared to their overall size. Thin-walled shells are characterized by their light weight and high strength. Rectangular thin-walled shells are often used to encapsulate internal components or containers for liquids and gases. Due to their simplicity, ease of manufacture, and high space utilization, they are widely used in various storage containers, gas or liquid storage tanks, and other equipment. During the processing of rectangular thin-walled shells, whether it is milling, drilling, or boring, precise positioning is required. Therefore, using a clamping device to limit their position can ensure that the thin-walled shell remains in the position required by the design during the processing.
[0003] Most clamping devices clamp parts directly using clamping plates. However, due to the characteristics of thin-walled shells, if the clamping force is not well controlled during the clamping process, the thin-walled parts can easily be deformed due to excessive clamping force, resulting in the scrapping of the thin-walled shell and causing unnecessary economic losses. Based on this, this solution provides a deformation-resistant clamping device for processing thin-walled shells to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.
[0023] Reference Figures 1-6As shown, a thin-walled shell processing anti-deformation clamping device includes a base 1. A worktable 2 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the base 1. Fixing blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper end of the base 1. A bidirectional threaded rod 4 is rotatably installed between the left and right fixing blocks 3. A limit rod 5 is fixedly connected between the left and right fixing blocks 3 and above the bidirectional threaded rod 4. Two movable plates 6 are slidably connected to the outer surface of the limit rod 5. Movable plates 6 are threaded to the left and right ends of the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 4. A clamping assembly 7 is provided between the moving plates 6. The clamping assembly 7 includes a connecting plate 701. The front and rear sides of the connecting plate 701 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two moving plates 6. A plurality of telescopic cylinders 702 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 701. A clamping plate 703 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the plurality of telescopic cylinders 702. Springs 704 are sleeved on the outer surface of each of the plurality of telescopic cylinders 702. When the clamping plate 703 contacts the thin-walled shell, the plurality of springs 704 are gradually compressed, and the resulting elastic force is applied to the thin-walled shell through the clamping plate 703. Meanwhile, the telescopic cylinder 702 can extend and retract within a certain range, providing guidance and support for the spring 704, ensuring that the elastic force acts evenly and stably on the thin-walled shell. The left and right ends of the spring 704 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 701 and the outer side of the clamping plate 703, respectively. The inner side of the clamping plate 703 is provided with a buffer pad 705, made of polyurethane rubber, which has good elasticity and wear resistance, effectively dispersing the clamping force and preventing scratches on the surface of the thin-walled shell. A pressure sensor 706 is located in the middle of the inner side of the clamping plate 703. The sensor 706 can be a BP350 model. Any existing pressure sensor 706 capable of performing this function can be used without restriction. The pressure sensor 706 is electrically connected to an external control unit. The clamping force is adjusted based on the data fed back by the pressure sensor 706. The operator can determine whether the clamping force is appropriate based on the data from the pressure sensor 706 and adjust the clamping force by rotating the rotating wheel 14, effectively preventing deformation of the thin-walled shell due to excessive clamping force, ensuring processing accuracy and product quality. Positioning plates 707 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the clamping plate 703.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, two support plates 8 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the upper end of the base 1. A fixing component 9 is provided at the upper end of the two support plates 8. The fixing component 9 includes a fixing frame 901. The lower left and right sides of the fixing frame 901 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two support plates 8 respectively. Rectangular openings 902 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the fixing frame 901. The outer end of the positioning plate 707 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing frame 901. Slider 904s are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower ends of the positioning plate 707. The slider 904s are slidably connected to the inside of the rectangular openings 902. The positioning plate 707 and slider 904 are fastened to the inside of the fixing frame 901 by a fixing member 903, which includes a fastening bolt and a nut. The two sliders 904 and the positioning plate 707 each have threaded grooves that match the fastening bolts. When the clamping plate 703 clamps the thin-walled shell, the positioning plate 907... Positioning plate 707 and slider 904 slide to a suitable position inside fixed frame 901. At this time, fastening bolts are inserted into the threaded groove and nuts are used to fasten positioning plate 707 and slider 904 inside fixed frame 901, thereby preventing clamping plate 703 from shaking or shifting during processing and ensuring stable clamping of thin-walled shell. Connecting rods 10 are fixedly connected to the right ends of the two bidirectional threaded rods 4. The right ends of the connecting rods 10 extend to the right side of fixed block 3 and are fixedly connected to pulleys 11. Protective covers 15 are provided on the outside of the two pulleys 11. The left end of the protective cover 15 is fixedly connected to the right ends of the two fixed blocks 3 on the right side, respectively. A belt 12 is connected between the two pulleys 11. A rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected to the right side of the front pulley 11. The right end of the rotating rod 13 extends to the outside of the protective cover 15 and is fixedly connected to a rotating wheel 14.
[0025] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the thin-walled shell to be processed is placed on the upper center of the workbench 2. Then, the rotating wheel 14 is rotated. The rotating wheel 14 drives the front pulley 11 to rotate via the rotating rod 13. The front pulley 11 drives the rear pulley to rotate via the belt 12. This, in turn, drives the two bidirectional threaded rods 4 to rotate via the two connecting rods 10. The rotation of the two bidirectional threaded rods 4 respectively drives the moving blocks connected by threads on their outer surfaces to move towards the thin-walled shell. The movement of the moving blocks towards the thin-walled shell can drive the clamping assembly 7 between the two moving blocks to move towards the thin-walled shell, thereby adjusting the distance between the two clamping plates 703 to clamp thin-walled shells of different sizes. When the clamping plates 703 contact the thin-walled shell, the spring 704 gradually enters a compressed state. Simultaneously, the telescopic cylinder 702 can extend and retract within a certain range, providing guidance and support for the spring 704. The clamping force is evenly and stably applied to the thin-walled shell by a support, and a buffer pad 705 is used to further distribute the clamping force to prevent excessive local stress on the thin-walled shell. At the same time, a pressure sensor 706 installed on the inner side of the clamping plate 703 monitors the clamping force in real time and feeds the data back to the operator. The operator can judge whether the clamping force is appropriate based on the data fed back by the pressure sensor 706. The operator can fine-tune the clamping force by rotating the rotating wheel 14 to prevent deformation of the thin-walled shell due to excessive clamping force. After the thin-walled shell is clamped, the positioning plates 707 at both ends of the clamping plate 703 slide to the corresponding positions inside the fixed frame 901. Then, the positioning plates 707 are fastened to the inside of the fixed frame 901 by the fastener 903 to prevent the clamping plate 703 from shaking or shifting during processing, ensuring stable clamping of the thin-walled shell, which can then be processed.
