Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical assembly, and in particular to a tightening gun clamping device. Background Technology

[0002] In the assembly of passenger vehicles, a large number of bolts require tightening torque in the range of 100 to 600 Nm. Directly hand-held tightening guns cannot provide the corresponding reaction force, so the tightening guns need to be fixed on anti-torsion robotic arms, which provide spatial freedom of movement.

[0003] Existing tightening gun clamping devices rotate around the gun body as an axis. Due to space constraints, they mostly use sliding bearings or needle roller bearings without inner or outer rings. Both have drawbacks: sliding bearings have high rotational resistance, making it difficult for operators to operate and sometimes even impossible to turn; needle roller bearings without inner or outer rings have poor durability under these conditions, are easily damaged, affect efficiency, and increase maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tightening gun clamping device for connecting a tightening gun and an anti-torsion robotic arm, which can effectively release the rotational degree of freedom in the direction other than the tightening axis while transmitting the torsional reaction force to the anti-torsion robotic arm; and solve the contradiction between the rotational smoothness and space limitation of the existing clamping device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A tightening gun clamping device, comprising,

[0007] The clamping body is a cuboid structure with a central shaft hole in the middle along the horizontal direction. Several receiving grooves are provided on the inner wall of the central shaft hole along the circumference. Rolling bearings are installed in the receiving grooves through a rotating shaft. One side of the outer ring of the rolling bearing protrudes from the inner wall of the central shaft hole. A support block is protruding from the center of the top surface of the clamping body, and a shaft hole is provided in the center of the support block.

[0008] The flange has two symmetrically protruding connecting blocks on the center of its bottom surface. The connecting blocks have shaft holes in the center and are pivotally connected to the support block of the clamping body through connecting shafts.

[0009] A hollow rotating shaft is inserted into the central shaft hole of the clamping body, and its outer circular surface is in rolling friction contact with the rolling bearing; a connecting plate is provided at the front end of the hollow rotating shaft; a tightening gun is inserted into the hollow rotating shaft, and the front part of the tightening gun is connected to the connecting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the central shaft hole of the clamping body is provided with four sets of receiving grooves along the circumferential direction. Each set of receiving grooves is provided with at least two receiving grooves at intervals along the axial direction of the central shaft hole, and rolling bearings are provided in the receiving grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, the front end of the hollow rotating shaft is provided with an annular limiting groove, and correspondingly, the rear side of the support block that holds the body is provided with a rolling bearing inserted into the annular limiting groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the front end face of the clamping body has a groove along the circumferential direction at the central shaft hole port, and a clamp matching the hollow rotating shaft is installed inside it.

[0013] Preferably, the front end face of the clamping body is provided with a limiting plate, the limiting plate is provided with a central hole corresponding to the central shaft hole, and the inner edge of the central hole is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion along the circumferential direction. Correspondingly, the rear end face of the hollow rotating shaft is provided with a limiting protrusion that cooperates with and interferes with the arc-shaped protrusion.

[0014] Preferably, a U-shaped swing limiting plate is also provided, which is sleeved on the support block of the clamping body and connected by screws; the bottom of the swing limiting plate corresponding to the front end face of the support block is provided with a through hole and an adjusting bolt.

[0015] Preferably, the front end face and rear end face of the clamping body are respectively provided with end plates, and the center of the end plate is provided with a through hole corresponding to the central shaft hole.

[0016] Preferably, the accommodating groove on the clamping body has a hollow structure, and its outer side is provided with a cover plate.

[0017] This utility model designs a hollow rotating shaft that is fitted with rolling bearings fixed around the clamping body. The bearings are tangent to the outer circular surface of the hollow rotating shaft, which serves to limit the radial rotation of the shaft and provide rolling friction support for its rotation.

[0018] Preferably, the rear end of the clamping body is provided with a bearing that extends into the annular limiting groove at the front end of the hollow rotating shaft, which serves to restrict the axial rotation of the rotating shaft and further provides rolling friction support for its rotation.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0020] This invention achieves a space-saving solution by using a hollow rotating shaft and rolling bearings in a reasonable spatial arrangement, without increasing the space occupied compared to existing technologies. At the same time, it provides rolling friction support for the rotating shaft in a relatively reliable and durable manner, significantly improving the smoothness and ease of use of the device.

[0021] This invention makes innovative improvements to the rotating structure with the tightening gun body as the axis, avoiding the problems of high rotational resistance or short-lasting roller bearings in existing tightening guns. Attached Figure Description
