Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-4. This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0026] An automatic workpiece hanger for a grinding machine includes a connecting seat 1. Three threaded rods 2 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting seat 1. Handwheels 3 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the three threaded rods 2. Several friction grooves 4 are formed on the outer surfaces of the three handwheels 3. Mounting blocks 5 are movably connected to the inner surfaces of the three threaded rods 2 via bearings. Springs 6 are movably sleeved on the outer surfaces of the three threaded rods 2. Arc-shaped connecting plates 7 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the three mounting blocks 5. A motor output shaft 8 is clamped onto the inner walls of the three arc-shaped connecting plates 7. One end of each spring 6 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the three mounting blocks 5, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting seat 1. The three threaded rods 2 are evenly distributed circumferentially around the central axis of the connecting seat 1, with an included angle of 120° between adjacent threaded rods 2. Anti-slip textures are formed on the inner walls of the three arc-shaped connecting plates 7, and these anti-slip textures have a cross-shaped mesh structure.
[0027] The above scheme works as follows: the operator drives the threaded rod 2 to move axially by rotating the handwheel 3. The three threaded rods 2, which are distributed in a 120° circle, synchronously drive the mounting block 5 to move radially. When the arc-shaped connecting plate 7 contacts the motor output shaft 8, the spring 6 begins to store force and provide preload, ensuring that the three arc-shaped connecting plates 7 apply force evenly. The cross-shaped anti-slip texture increases friction and makes the engagement more reliable. When disassembly is required, the handwheel 3 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the spring 6 resets to assist the arc-shaped connecting plate 7 in quickly detaching from the workpiece.
[0028] In this embodiment, a connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the right end of the connecting seat 1. A plurality of through-holes 10 are provided on the left end of the connecting plate 9. Screws 11 are provided in each of the several positioning holes 10. A traction plate 12 is snapped onto the right end of the connecting plate 9. A plurality of through-holes 13 are provided on the left end of the traction plate 12. A plurality of connecting rods 14 are fixedly connected to the right end of the traction plate 12. A fixing block 15 is fixedly connected to the end of each of the several connecting rods 14 away from the threaded holes 13. A through-hole 16 is provided on the left end of the fixing block 15. The connecting plate 9 and the connecting seat 1 are integrally formed, and the outer diameter of the connecting plate 9 is 20mm larger than the outer diameter of the connecting seat 1. The plurality of positioning holes 10 and the plurality of threaded holes 13 are arranged in a circular array around the center of the connecting plate 9 and the traction plate 12. A plurality of screws 11 are threaded through the plurality of positioning holes 10 and the plurality of threaded holes 13.
[0029] The above scheme involves connecting the connecting seat 1 to the traction disc 12 via an integrally formed connecting disc 9. The outer diameter of the connecting disc 9 is 20mm larger than that of the connecting seat 1, forming a stepped positioning surface to ensure axial alignment accuracy during installation. The circular array of positioning holes 10 and threaded holes 13 are fixed by screws 11. When the traction disc 12 needs to be installed, it is snapped onto the right end of the connecting disc 9, ensuring coaxial alignment of the positioning holes 10 and threaded holes 13. Screws 11 are then inserted through the positioning holes 10 and into the threaded holes 13, utilizing the preload of the threaded pair to achieve a rigid connection. 12 is fixedly connected to the fixed round block 15 via the connecting rod 14. The through hole 16 is used to pass through the workpiece or transmission component, forming a complete force transmission path: the torque of the motor output shaft 8 is transmitted to the workpiece through the connecting seat 1 → connecting plate 9 → screw 11 → traction plate 12 → connecting rod 14 → fixed round block 15. When disassembling, only the screw 11 needs to be loosened to separate the traction plate 12 from the connecting plate 9. When a single component is damaged, there is no need to replace the whole thing. The layout of the screws 11 in a ring array makes the force evenly distributed, avoids stress concentration at a single point, and improves the reliability of the connection.
[0030] It should be noted that this utility model is an automatic workpiece hanger for a grinding machine. In use, firstly, the connecting seat 1 is connected to the grinding machine spindle via the connecting plate 9. Screws 11 are used to pass through the positioning hole 10 and the threaded hole 13 to ensure that the traction plate 12 is coaxial with the spindle. Rotating the handwheel 3 drives the threaded rod 2 to move axially, causing the mounting block 5 to retract radially. The three arc-shaped connecting plates 7 synchronously approach the motor output shaft 8. Springs 6 provide buffering, and the cross-shaped mesh anti-slip texture enhances friction, achieving self-adaptive clamping. The torque of the motor output shaft 8 is transmitted to the workpiece through the arc-shaped connecting plate 7 → mounting block 5 → threaded rod 2 → connecting seat 1 → connecting plate 9 → traction plate 12 → connecting rod 14 → fixed round block 15. During maintenance, the traction plate 12 can be separated by loosening the screws 11, and the arc-shaped connecting plate 7 can be replaced by disassembling the corresponding threaded rod 2, realizing modular maintenance. This process, through mechanical linkage and modular structure, realizes automatic adaptation of workpieces of different diameters, high-precision coaxiality control, and rapid changeover capability, significantly improving the flexibility and efficiency of grinding machine processing.
