Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potentiometer technology, and in particular to a tooling for quick positioning and installation of potentiometer adapter shafts. Background Technology
[0002] Potentiometers are common electronic components, often used as displacement sensors in mechanical products to control their operation by providing real-time feedback on displacement changes. They are widely used and maintain an important position in aviation, marine, instrumentation, and automation control systems.
[0003] In actual production, potentiometers come in various models, requiring the potentiometer mounting interface to change constantly depending on the model. This necessitates the prefabrication of corresponding mounting bases; however, traditional mounting bases are inconvenient to install and remove. Furthermore, as electronic components, potentiometers require highly skilled operators when installing their adapter shafts; brute force can easily damage the potentiometer. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple-to-operate potentiometer adapter shaft mounting fixture that also provides positioning and protection.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a quick-positioning and installation fixture for the potentiometer adapter shaft. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where potentiometers come in various models, requiring different mounting interfaces for each model. This necessitates the prefabrication of corresponding mounting bases, which are inconvenient to install and remove using traditional bases. Furthermore, as potentiometers are electronic components, installing the adapter shaft demands highly skilled operators; brute force can easily damage the potentiometer. The proposed invention provides a quick-positioning and installation fixture for potentiometer adapter shafts.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A quick-positioning and mounting fixture for the potentiometer adapter shaft, including:
[0008] The mounting base has a first mounting groove on one side and a second mounting groove on the other side. A third mounting groove is provided through the first and second mounting grooves. A potentiometer assembly is provided between the first, second and third mounting grooves.
[0009] A positioning mechanism is provided inside the third mounting slot for positioning the potentiometer assembly.
[0010] A clamping assembly, wherein the clamping mechanism is disposed at the bottom end of the mounting base, is used to clamp the mounting base.
[0011] In one possible design, the potentiometer assembly includes a potentiometer body, an adapter shaft fixed to one side of the potentiometer body, two symmetrically arranged connecting blocks fixed to the outer wall of the adapter shaft, the potentiometer body located in a first mounting groove, the adapter shaft located in a second mounting groove and a third mounting groove, and the connecting blocks located in a third mounting groove.

One side of each positioning block has a chamfer, and the adapter shaft and connecting block are located between the positioning blocks.
[0013] In one possible design, the positioning block is made of rubber.
[0014] In one possible design, the clamping assembly includes a base plate, on the surface of which a first fixing block and a second fixing block are fixedly mounted. A clamping plate is slidably connected to the surface of the base plate. A screw is threaded through one side of the second fixing block, and one end of the screw is rotatably connected to one side of the clamping plate. The clamping plate cooperates with the first fixing block to clamp the mounting base.
[0015] In one possible design, an adjusting block is fixed to one end of the screw, and the outer wall of the adjusting block is provided with an anti-slip groove.
[0016] In this application, during use, the corresponding mounting base is placed on the base plate according to the potentiometer model. Then, the adjusting block is rotated to drive the screw to rotate, and the screw drives the clamping plate to move. The clamping plate, together with the first fixing block, clamps and fixes the mounting base. Then, the adapter shaft is placed into the second and third mounting slots, and the potentiometer body is placed into the first mounting slot. The rubber positioning block is used to position and clamp the adapter shaft, completing the rapid installation of the potentiometer assembly. Then, the entire fixture is moved to the processing position for subsequent processing operations.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0027] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-5 Quick-positioning installation fixtures, including:
[0028] Mounting base 2, with a first mounting groove 4 on one side and a second mounting groove 5 on the other side. A third mounting groove 6 is provided through the first mounting groove 4 and the second mounting groove 5. A potentiometer assembly 3 is provided between the first mounting groove 4, the second mounting groove 5 and the third mounting groove 6. The potentiometer assembly 3 includes a potentiometer body 301. A connecting shaft 302 is fixed on one side of the potentiometer body 301. Two symmetrically arranged connecting blocks 303 are fixed on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 302. The potentiometer body 301 is located in the first mounting groove 4, the connecting shaft 302 is located in the second mounting groove 5 and the third mounting groove 6, and the connecting blocks 303 are located in the third mounting groove 6.
[0029] The positioning mechanism is located inside the third mounting groove 6 and is used to position the potentiometer assembly 3. The positioning mechanism includes two positioning blocks 7, which are fixed to the inner wall of the third mounting groove 6 and arranged symmetrically. One side of the positioning block 7 is provided with a chamfer 8 so that the connecting block 303 can slide smoothly between the positioning blocks 7 when it is inserted into the third mounting groove 6. The adapter shaft 302 and the connecting block 303 are both located between the positioning blocks 7, which can clamp and position the connecting block 303 and the adapter shaft 302.
[0030] The clamping assembly 1, with a clamping mechanism disposed at the bottom end of the mounting base 2, is used to clamp the mounting base 2. The clamping assembly 1 includes a base plate 101, with a first fixing block 102 and a second fixing block 103 fixed on the surface of the base plate 101. A clamping plate 104 is slidably connected to the surface of the base plate 101. A screw 105 is threaded through one side of the second fixing block 103. One end of the screw 105 is rotatably connected to one side of the clamping plate 104. The clamping plate 104 cooperates with the first fixing block 102 to clamp the mounting base 2. By rotating the screw 105, the clamping plate 104 can be pushed towards the first fixing block 102, thereby clamping the mounting base 2.
[0031] This application can be used in the field of potentiometers, or in other fields applicable to this application.
[0032] Example 2: An improved potentiometer adapter shaft quick positioning and installation fixture based on Example 1, which is applied to the field of potentiometers;
[0033] In another aspect of this embodiment, the positioning block 7 is made of rubber. The rubber positioning block 7 has better elasticity and friction, which can better hold the connecting block 303 and the adapter shaft 302, preventing the potentiometer assembly 3 from shaking or falling off during installation.
[0034] In another aspect of this embodiment, an adjusting block 106 is fixedly provided at one end of the screw 105. The outer wall of the adjusting block 106 is provided with an anti-slip groove. By adding the adjusting block 106 and the anti-slip groove, the user can rotate the screw 105 more conveniently and prevent the hand from slipping during rotation. This not only improves the convenience of operation, but also improves the safety of the tooling.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
