Abstract
Description
An internal support positioning clamp for sheet metal Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamps, and in particular to an internal support positioning clamp for sheet metal. Background Technology
[0002] A fixture is a device used in the mechanical manufacturing process to fix the workpiece in the correct position for construction or inspection.
[0003] In the processing of a tubular object (with ribs on its inner wall), a contouring structure is generally used for positioning. However, since the product is small, existing designs typically use an elastic layer inside the inner support to limit its movement. However, there are still significant dimensional errors, which affect the consistency of the sidewall punching. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose an internal support positioning fixture for sheet metal, which aims to improve the existing positioning fixture structure, ensure the accurate positioning of irregularly shaped tubular objects, and thus improve the stability of processing.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an internal support positioning clamp for sheet metal, comprising:
[0006] A substrate, wherein the lower wall of the substrate is provided with at least two first telescopic devices and a second telescopic device, and the second telescopic device is disposed between the two first telescopic devices;
[0007] The inner support seat has a drive hole in its center for the first drive rod of the first telescopic device to extend into. The inner support seat has multiple arc-shaped portions spaced apart from the drive hole.
[0008] The first drive rod can drive the outer walls of multiple arc-shaped parts to switch between an outward expanding position and an inward contracting position;
[0009] The pressure plate is equipped with a locking pin that cooperates with the drive end of the second telescopic device. The locking pin can apply pressure to the pressure base towards the substrate.
[0010] The pressure plate is provided with a column base that is positioned opposite to the first telescopic device.
[0011] In actual installation, the tubular object is placed inside the inner support, and then the pressure plate is placed at the upper end of the tubular object, with the column base extending into the opening at the upper end of the tubular object.
[0012] Then the second telescopic device applies downward pressure to the pressure plate to stabilize the locking pin. Then the first telescopic device drives the first drive rod to move and moves multiple arc-shaped parts outward, thereby supporting the inner wall of the tubular object, which facilitates processing or use.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, an internal support positioning clamp for sheet metal includes:
[0031] The substrate 1 has at least two first telescopic devices 71 and a second telescopic device 72 on its lower wall, with the second telescopic device 72 disposed between the two first telescopic devices 71.
[0032] The inner support 2 has a drive hole 21 in its middle for the first drive rod of the first telescopic device 71 to extend into. The inner support 2 has a plurality of arc-shaped portions 20 spaced apart from the drive hole 21.
[0033] The first drive rod can drive the outer wall of the multiple arc-shaped parts 20 to switch between an outward expanding position and an inward contracting position;
[0034] The pressure plate 3 is provided with a locking post 30 that cooperates with the drive end of the second telescopic device 72. The locking post 30 can apply pressure to the pressure base in the direction of moving towards the base plate 1.
[0035] The pressure plate 3 is provided with a column base 31 that is opposite to the first telescopic device 71.
[0036] In actual installation, the tubular object is placed inside the inner support 2, and then the pressure plate 3 is placed at the upper end of the tubular object, with the column base 31 extending into the opening at the upper end of the tubular object.
[0037] Then the second telescopic device 72 applies downward pressure to the pressure plate 3 to stabilize the locking post 30. Then the first telescopic device 71 drives the first drive rod to move and moves the multiple arc-shaped parts 20 outward, thereby supporting the inner wall of the tubular object, which facilitates processing or use.
[0038] Specifically, the outer wall of the arc-shaped portion 20 is provided with a groove 42 corresponding to the rib 41 of the tubular object, thereby achieving precise positioning.
[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, the outer wall of the arc-shaped portion 20 is recessed with a groove, which facilitates the processing of the tubular object.
[0040] Specifically, the substrate 1 is provided with a stepped groove 5, which includes a hole groove and an inner groove. The inner groove is provided with an arc-shaped groove 51. The inner support 2 is provided with an inner protrusion 52 that cooperates with the inner groove. A screw passes through the arc-shaped groove 51 and is screwed onto the inner protrusion 52, thereby realizing the installation of the inner support 2.
[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, a gap is provided between adjacent arc-shaped portions.
[0042] The upper end of the first drive rod is provided with a wedge-shaped part 82. The maximum outer diameter of the wedge-shaped part 82 is greater than the inner diameter of the drive hole 21, thereby realizing the outward expansion or inward contraction of the arc-shaped part.
[0043] Specifically, the arc-shaped portion has a chamfer at the end of the drive hole 21, which facilitates the guidance and movement of the upper end of the first drive rod.
[0044] In this embodiment of the utility model, the pressure plate 3 is provided with a female hole 61 and a female hole 62 in the middle. The upper end of the locking post 30 is provided with a locking head 6 with an outer diameter larger than that of the female hole 61. The outer diameter of the locking head 6 is smaller than that of the female hole 62, thereby realizing the locking of the pressure plate 3 and facilitating disassembly. The design of the female hole 62 is mainly to facilitate the feeding of tubular objects, and the pressure plate 3 is installed after the objects are fed.
[0045] Specifically, the retaining post 30 is made of an elastic material or a rigid material.
[0046] In this embodiment of the utility model, the first telescopic device 71 and the second telescopic device 72 are telescopic motors.
[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, the upper section of the driving hole 21 is an inclined surface 81, but it can also be achieved by a wedge-shaped part.
