[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, this utility model provides an adjustable tooling fixture for impeller machining, including a fixture base plate 1. An impeller 2 is disposed on the top of the fixture base plate 1, and a clamping drive groove 11 is formed on the bottom of the fixture base plate 1. A servo motor 12 is fixedly installed on the front side of the fixture base plate 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 12 passes through the inner cavity of the clamping drive groove 11 and is fixedly installed with a positive and negative threaded rod 121. The front and rear sides of the outer wall of the positive and negative threaded rod 121 are respectively provided with threaded walls with opposite threads, and a movable plate 122 is threadedly installed on the outer wall of both threaded walls. A limiting slide rod 13 is fixedly installed between the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the clamping drive groove 11. The limiting slide rod 13 is located below the positive and negative threaded rod 121. Both movable plates 122 are slidably connected to the limiting slide rod 13. A servo motor is fixedly installed on the left side of the fixture base plate 1. The output shaft of servo motor 14 passes through the inner cavity of clamping drive groove 11 and is fixedly installed with threaded rod 141. A connecting rod 142 is fixedly installed at the right end of threaded rod 141. The connecting rod 142 is located above the positive and negative threaded rods 121. A threaded rod 143 is fixedly installed at the right end of connecting rod 142. Threaded rod 141 and threaded rod 143 have the same length but opposite threads. Moving plates 144 are threadedly installed on the outer walls of threaded rod 141 and threaded rod 143. Limiting slide rods 15 are fixedly installed between the left and right sides of the inner wall of clamping drive groove 11. Limiting slide rods 15 are located in front of threaded rod 141 and threaded rod 143. Both moving plates 144 are slidably connected to limiting slide rods 15. The connecting rod 142 can prevent the two moving plates 144 from contacting the positive and negative threaded rods 121.
[0025] When positioning the impeller 2 is required, the shaft hole of the impeller 2 can be placed on the top of the fixture base plate 1 through the two clamping upright plates 18. Then, the servo motor 12 is started, which controls the rotation of the positive and negative threaded rods 121. By using the threaded walls of the opposite threads on the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the positive and negative threaded rods 121 to connect with the threads of the moving plate 122, the two moving plates 122 can be controlled to move stably closer together by means of the sliding connection with the limiting slide rod 13. At the same time, by starting the servo motor 14, the connecting rod 142 can drive the opposite threaded rods 141 and 143 to rotate simultaneously, thereby controlling the moving plate 144, which is threaded on the outer wall of the threaded rods 141 and 143, to move in opposite directions.
[0026] like Figure 4As shown, the top front and rear sides of the clamp base plate 1 are provided with sliding grooves 17 that extend into the inner cavity of the clamping drive groove 11. Movable columns 1221 are fixedly installed on the top of each of the two movable plates 122. The two movable columns 1221 are slidably connected to the two sliding grooves 17. Arc-shaped clamping plates 1222 are fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the two movable columns 1221. The bottoms of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1222 are in contact with the top of the clamp base plate 1. The two arc-shaped clamping plates 1222 are located on the impeller 2. On the front and rear sides, rubber pads are fixedly bonded to the opposite surfaces of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1222. The top left and right sides of the clamping base plate 1 are provided with sliding grooves 16 that pass through the inner cavity of the clamping drive groove 11. The top of the two moving plates 144 are fixedly installed with moving columns 1441. The two moving columns 1441 are slidably connected to the two sliding grooves 16 respectively. The top of the two moving columns 1441 are fixedly installed with clamping plates 18. The two clamping plates 18 are located in the inner cavity of the shaft hole of the impeller 2.
[0027] When the moving plates 122 move closer together, the moving column 1221, which is slidably connected to the slide groove 17, can drive the two front and rear arc-shaped clamping plates 1222 to clamp and fix the front and rear sides of the impeller 2. The rubber pads can improve the anti-slip properties and prevent damage to the outer wall of the impeller 2 during clamping. At the same time, when the two moving plates 144 move in opposite directions, the two clamping plates 18 at their top can be driven to move in opposite directions in the inner ring of the impeller 2 by the sliding connection between the moving column 1441 and the slide groove 16, so that they can open and close, and achieve stable clamping of the impeller 2 in conjunction with the two front and rear arc-shaped clamping plates 1222.
[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, each of the two clamping upright plates 18 has a lifting groove 181 extending through its top on its opposite side. Lifting screws 182 are movably installed on the bottom of the inner wall of each of the two lifting grooves 181. A pressing control knob 183 is fixedly installed on the top of each of the two lifting screws 182. A pressing moving plate 184 is threadedly installed on the outer wall of each of the two lifting screws 182. The two pressing moving plates 184 are slidably connected to the two lifting grooves 181 respectively. Rubber strips are fixedly bonded to the opposite sides of each of the two clamping upright plates 18. The opposite ends of the two pressing moving plates 184 extend to one side of the opposite side of each of the two clamping upright plates 18.
[0029] When the rubber strips on the back of the two clamping plates 18 are pressed against the inner wall of the shaft hole of the impeller 2, the lifting screw 182 in the lifting groove 181 of the clamping plates 18 can be rotated by rotating the two pressing control knobs 183. The threaded connection between the pressing moving plate 184 and the lifting screw 182 can control the two pressing moving plates 184 to slowly descend until they press the top of the impeller 2, thereby pressing and fixing the impeller 2. When it is necessary to remove the impeller 2, it is only necessary to start the servo motor 14 to reverse the output shaft, which can control the two clamping plates 18 to move closer to each other, so that the impeller 2 can be pulled out and removed.
[0030] The working principle of this adjustable tooling fixture for impeller machining will be explained in detail below.
[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, when positioning the impeller 2, the shaft hole of the impeller 2 can be placed on top of the fixture base plate 1 through the two clamping uprights 18. Then, the servo motor 12 is started, which controls the rotation of the positive and negative threaded rods 121. The threaded walls of the opposite threads on the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the positive and negative threaded rods 121 are connected to the threads of the moving plate 122, which controls the two moving plates 122 to move stably closer together by means of the sliding connection with the limiting slide rod 13. At the same time, by starting the servo motor 14, the connecting rod 142 can drive the opposite threaded rods 141 and 143 to rotate simultaneously, thereby controlling the moving plate 144, which is threaded on the outer wall of the threaded rods 141 and 143, to move apart in opposite directions. When the moving plates 122 move closer together, the moving column 1221, which is slidably connected to the slide groove 17, can drive the two arc-shaped clamping plates 1222 to clamp and fix the front and rear sides of the impeller 2. During clamping, the rubber pads can be used to lift the impeller. The impeller 2 has high anti-slip properties and prevents damage to its outer wall. When the two movable plates 144 move in opposite directions, the sliding connection between the movable column 1441 and the slide groove 16 drives the two clamping plates 18 at their top to move in opposite directions within the inner ring of the impeller 2, thus enabling opening and clamping. This, combined with the two front and rear arc-shaped clamping plates 1222, achieves stable clamping of the impeller 2. When the rubber strips on the back of the two clamping plates 18 are pressed against the inner wall of the shaft hole of the impeller 2, the impeller 2 can be clamped by rotating the two plates. The downward control knob 183 drives the lifting screw 182 in the lifting slide 181 of the clamping plate 18 to rotate. With the threaded connection between the downward moving plate 184 and the lifting screw 182, the two downward moving plates 184 can be controlled to slowly descend until they press the top of the impeller 2, thereby achieving the pressing and fixing of the impeller 2. When it is necessary to remove the impeller 2, it is only necessary to start the servo motor 14 to reverse the output shaft, which can control the two clamping plates 18 to move closer to each other, so that the impeller 2 can be pulled upward and removed.
[0032] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
