Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool processing equipment technology, specifically to a pneumatic rotary table. Background Technology

[0002] A pneumatic rotary table, also known as an indexing table, is a machine tool accessory that clamps a workpiece on a chuck or between two centers, allowing it to rotate, index, and position. It's commonly used in machining processes where equal division is required. However, the structure of currently used indexing tables is quite complex, making operation relatively cumbersome. Furthermore, traditional indexing tables, after prolonged use, suffer significant wear, which can lead to loosening of the pneumatic rotary table's fixation or uneven rotation, potentially causing it to fall off and damage the pneumatic rotary table. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a pneumatic turntable that can reduce wear during operation and improve the smoothness of rotation.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows.

[0005] A pneumatic turntable includes a mounting base, on which a rotatable clamping chuck is mounted, and a thrust ball bearing is provided between the mounting base and the clamping chuck; a rotary drive mechanism for driving the clamping chuck to rotate is mounted on the mounting base.

[0006] The aforementioned pneumatic turntable, wherein the rotary drive mechanism includes a motor mounted on a mounting base, a sprocket mounted on the motor, and an annular chain arranged on the bottom periphery of the clamping chuck, the sprocket and the annular chain being connected in a transmission.

[0007] The aforementioned pneumatic turntable includes a circular turntable with four clamping blocks slidably disposed on it. An adjustment mechanism is provided at the bottom of the circular turntable to drive the clamping blocks to move along the slide grooves on the circular turntable.

[0008] The aforementioned pneumatic turntable, wherein the adjustment mechanism includes a connecting rod hinged to the bottom of the clamping block, the other end of the connecting rod being hinged to a connecting rod seat located at the center of the bottom of the circular turntable, and the bottom of a set of clamping blocks arranged opposite to each other being connected to the movable ends of a set of cylinders located at the bottom of the circular turntable.

[0009] The pneumatic turntable described above also has a connecting seat at the bottom of the circular turntable, and the connecting seat has a slot on its periphery that is slidably fitted to the moving end of the cylinder.

[0010] The bottom of the connecting seat of the aforementioned pneumatic turntable is provided with an annular groove that rotatably connects with the balls on the thrust ball bearing.

[0011] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the technological progress achieved by this utility model is as follows.

[0012] This utility model provides a pneumatic turntable with a simple structure and convenient operation. By setting a sprocket and chain drive mechanism between the mounting base and the clamping chuck, the stability of the clamping chuck's rotation is ensured. At the same time, a thrust ball bearing is set between the mounting base and the clamping chuck, which reduces the axial pressure load, reduces the wear of the pneumatic turntable, and improves the smoothness of the pneumatic turntable's rotation, making the clamping chuck clamp the workpiece more smoothly.
