Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workpiece cutting and clamping fixture technology, and in particular to an elastic expansion sleeve peripheral groove cutting fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Expanding sleeves belong to the category of general-purpose mechanical components, used to connect two shafts (driving shaft and driven shaft) in different mechanisms to rotate together and transmit torque. In high-speed, heavy-load power transmission, some expanding sleeves also serve to buffer, dampen vibrations, and improve the dynamic performance of the shaft system. To achieve the buffering and vibration damping effect, multiple grooves are cut into the peripheral wall of the expanding sleeve according to actual needs. If the number of grooves is small or the expanding sleeve is small, it can be directly processed using a chuck on a machine tool. However, some large expanding sleeves or those with many grooves require separate tooling for fixation and processing using cutting equipment, such as wire EDM equipment.

[0003] Currently, in actual processing, there is no tooling that perfectly matches the expansion sleeve. Generally, the expansion sleeve is bolted to a fixed plate, which is then mounted on the worktable of the cutting equipment. To cut one groove, the fixed plate or the expansion sleeve on it must be disassembled so that it can be rotated at a certain angle to cut the next groove. This operation is cumbersome, has low processing efficiency, and multiple clamping operations are prone to processing errors, affecting the processing quality. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a convenient, efficient, and stable tooling for cutting elastic expansion sleeve peripheral grooves. Utility Model Content

The hanging plate is rotatably mounted on one end of the crossbar, and the magnetic block is mounted on the bottom surface of the hanging plate.

[0009] A further technical solution is that a handle is provided at the other end of the crossbar.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the number of positioning holes is the same as the number of grooves on the expansion sleeve.

[0011] A further technical solution is that screws are provided on both sides of the base.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the pressure cap has a ring structure.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the cross-section of the turntable is a T-shaped structure.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] This implementation example Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a cutting fixture for a circumferential groove of an elastic expansion sleeve includes a base 1, a turntable 2, a pressure cap 3, and an indexing drive assembly 4. The pressure cap 3 is bolted to the base 1 and forms a mounting cavity. The turntable 2 is rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity. The indexing drive assembly 4 drives and controls the rotation angle of the turntable 2.

[0031] The indexing drive assembly 4 includes a central shaft 5, a driving wheel 6, a driven wheel 7, a transmission component 8, an angle positioner 9, and multiple magnetic blocks 10. The central shaft 5 is mounted on the base 1. The driving wheel 6 is rotatably mounted on the central shaft 5. The driven wheel 7 is mounted at the center of the turntable 2. The transmission component 8 is connected to the driving wheel 6 and the driven wheel 7. The angle positioner 9 is rotatably mounted on the top of the central shaft 5, and the locking end of the angle positioner 9 is adapted to the driving wheel 6. Multiple positioning holes 11 are evenly arranged around the turntable 2. Magnetic blocks 10 are respectively arranged in the positioning holes 11 and on the working end of the angle positioner 9. The magnetic blocks 10 on the working end of the angle positioner 9 cooperate with the magnetic blocks 10 in the positioning holes 11.

[0032] The working process of this utility model is as follows: First, according to the number of grooves to be processed on the expansion sleeve 17 (grooves are on the peripheral wall of the expansion sleeve 17), select the appropriate positioning hole 11 to participate in the cutting work, and put the magnetic block 10 into the positioning hole 11. Then, the bolt passes through the mounting hole on the expansion sleeve 17 and connects with the front of the turntable 2. The bolt firmly fixes the expansion sleeve 17 to the front of the turntable 2. Then, rotate the driving wheel 6, and drive the driven wheel 7 to rotate together with the turntable 2 through the transmission component 8 until the magnetic block 10 in one of the positioning holes 11 attracts the magnetic block 10 on the working end of the angle positioner 9. At this time, the locking end of the angle positioner 9 is matched with the driving wheel 6, that is, the locking end locks the driving wheel 6, making it unable to rotate, and the groove can be processed. After the groove is completed, release the locking end from the locking state of the driving wheel 6, and continue to rotate the driving wheel 6 in the same direction to process the second groove. Repeat the above steps until all the grooves on the expansion sleeve 17 are cut and processed. Finally, remove the processed expansion sleeve 17 and replace it with a new expansion sleeve.

[0033] It is worth noting that the number and spacing of the grooves on the expansion sleeve 17, especially the number, can be specifically controlled based on the positioning holes 11 on the turntable 2. Of course, the number of positioning holes 11 can also be pre-processed according to the manufacturing process of the expansion sleeve 17.

[0034] The positioning hole 11 can be a through threaded hole, in which a screw can be installed, which is beneficial for the installation and ejection of the magnetic block 10.

[0035] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the angle positioning device 9 includes a crossbar 12, a spring 13, a clip 14, and a hanging plate 15. The crossbar 12 is rotatably mounted on the top of the central shaft 5. The spring 13 is vertically mounted on the ear plate of the central shaft 5, and the top of the spring 13 abuts against the crossbar 12. The clip 14 is slidably mounted on the crossbar 12 and locked by bolts. The clip 14 is adapted to the outer circumferential surface of the drive wheel 6. The hanging plate 15 is rotatably mounted on one end of the crossbar 12, and the magnetic block 10 is mounted on the bottom surface of the hanging plate 15.

[0036] The magnetic block 10 on the hanging plate 15 is attracted by the magnetic block 10 in the positioning hole 11, which will tilt the crossbar 12 toward one end of the positioning hole 11, and the card 14 will be inserted into the tooth gap of the drive wheel.

[0037] Preferably, a handle 16 is provided at the other end of the crossbar 12.

[0038] The handle 16 allows personnel to easily move the crossbar 12 and release the locking state of the angle positioner 9 on the tooth surface of the drive wheel 6.

[0039] Preferably, the number of positioning holes 11 is the same as the number of slots on the expansion sleeve 17. This configuration, where the number of positioning holes 11 and slots is the same, is a preferred option and can reduce the number of machining operations required for the positioning holes 11.

[0040] Preferably, screws 18 are provided on both sides of the base 1.

[0041] The screw 18 can securely mount the base 1 onto the processing table of the wire cutting equipment.

[0042] Preferably, the cap 3 has a ring structure.

[0043] The pressure cap 3 is ring-shaped and is used to avoid the driven wheel 7.

[0044] Preferably, the turntable 2 has a T-shaped cross-section.

[0045] The T-shaped turntable 2 can ensure stable rotation of the turntable 2 under the combined action of the base 1 and the pressure cover 3.

[0046] Preferably, the diameter of the driving pulley 6 is larger than the diameter of the driven pulley 7, resulting in easier start-up and transmission. Both the driving pulley 6 and the driven pulley 7 are synchronous belt pulleys, and the transmission component 8 is a synchronous belt. This ensures precise transmission.

[0047] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
