Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of positioner technology, and in particular relates to a chuck for positioners. Background Technology

[0002] In existing machining and welding fields, positioner chucks serve as crucial clamping tools, their performance directly impacting machining accuracy and efficiency. While traditional three-jaw chucks can meet clamping requirements to some extent, their clamping stability is often insufficient when dealing with heavy or bulky objects, especially parts with irregularly shaped bottoms. This can lead to parts loosening, shifting, or even detaching during machining, severely affecting machining quality and production efficiency.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional three-jaw chucks have limited clamping points and poor adaptability to clamping irregularly shaped parts, making it difficult to meet diverse and high-precision machining requirements. Therefore, developing a positioner chuck with higher clamping stability and adaptability is particularly important. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a chuck for a positioner. By designing a main chuck head with a flexible adjustable position and a secondary chuck head that can be installed later, a nine-point clamping structure is formed, which significantly improves the clamping stability and adaptability of irregular parts, especially heavy and sluggish objects.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a chuck for a positioner, comprising a chuck body, movable jaws, a main chuck head, a secondary chuck head, a large bevel gear planar threaded drive disc, a small bevel gear drive rod, and a dustproof end cover. A circular groove for mounting the large bevel gear planar threaded drive disc is formed in the center of the upper surface of the chuck body. The chuck body has three evenly distributed outwardly extending support arms. Guide grooves are formed on the support arms to linearly guide the movable jaws. A circular hole is formed on the chuck body for the small bevel gear drive rod to pass through. The front end of the small bevel gear drive rod drives the large bevel gear planar threaded drive disc to rotate. The large bevel gear planar threaded drive disc synchronously drives the three movable jaws to move. The main chuck head is snapped onto the movable jaws and is detachably fixed to the movable jaws by two first bolts. A secondary chuck head is detachably mounted on each side of the main chuck head by a second bolt.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1:

[0033] Please see Figure 1-9 As shown, this utility model is a chuck for a positioner. The overall design is a three-jaw chuck structure, including a chuck body 1, movable jaws 2, main jaw 3, auxiliary jaw 4, large bevel gear plane thread drive disc 5, small bevel gear drive rod 6, and dustproof end cover 7.

[0034] The upper surface of the chuck body 1 has a circular groove 11 for mounting the large bevel gear flat thread drive disc 5. The lower end of the chuck body 1 has a cylinder for connecting to the positioner. The chuck body 1 has three evenly distributed outwardly extending support arms 12. Each support arm 12 has a guide groove 13 for linearly guiding the movable jaw 2. The chuck body 1 has a circular hole 14 for the small bevel gear drive rod 6 to pass through.

[0035] The small bevel gear drive rod 6 drives the large bevel gear planar thread drive disk 5 to rotate. The large bevel gear planar thread drive disk 5 synchronously drives the three movable jaws 2 to move. The movable jaw 2 body slides in engagement with the guide channel 13, and the lower part of the movable jaw 2 body near the large bevel gear planar thread drive disk 5 is provided with a thread structure that meshes with the planar thread 53 to achieve synchronous movement. A row of first threaded holes 21 is opened at the upper end of the movable jaw 2. A slot 22 that mates with the main jaw 3 is opened on the side of each movable jaw 2 between two adjacent first threaded holes 21. The cross-section of the slot 22 is a right-angled trapezoidal structure to ensure that the main jaw 3 is securely installed.

[0036] The main clamping head 3 is snapped onto the movable clamping claw 2, and the main clamping head 3 is detachably fixed to the movable clamping claw 2 by two first bolts.

[0037] The main clamping head 3 includes a clamping block 31 that mates with the clamping slot 22. A main clamping claw head 32 is fixed to the upper end of the clamping block 31. Two vertically arranged through holes 33 are formed on the main clamping claw head 32. A row of vertically arranged first V-shaped grooves 34 is formed at the front end of the main clamping claw head 32. A pair of square posts 35 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the main clamping claw head 32. The square posts 35 are provided with threaded through holes 36 that mate with the second bolt for subsequent installation of the auxiliary clamping head 4.

[0038] For heavy objects, especially those with irregularly shaped bottoms, a secondary clamping head 4 is detachably installed on each side of the main clamping head 3 using second bolts to ensure clamping stability. The secondary clamping head 4 includes a rectangular frame plate 41. The upper and lower inner walls of the rectangular frame plate 41 contact the upper and lower walls of the square post 35. The length of the rectangular frame plate 41 is greater than the length of the square post 35. One end of the rectangular frame plate 41 has a through hole 42 that mates with the second bolt. A ramp 43 is fixed to the other end of the rectangular frame plate 41. A semi-cylindrical portion 44 is provided at the end of the ramp 43. The semi-cylindrical portion 44 has a row of vertically arranged second V-shaped grooves 45 to further enhance the clamping effect.

[0039] The large bevel gear drive disc 5 includes a disc 51. A large bevel gear 52 is formed at the lower end of the disc 51. A planar thread 53 is formed on the upper surface of the disc 51. The small bevel gear drive rod 6 includes a rod 61 passing through a circular hole 14. A small bevel gear 62, meshing with the large bevel gear 52, is formed on the inner end of the rod 61. A handle 63 is fixed to the outer end of the rod 61. An annular groove is formed on the outer wall of the rod 61 at the end of the small bevel gear 62. A limiting ring 64 is installed on the annular groove. A first rectangular groove 15, containing lubricating oil, is formed on the bottom surface of the groove 11 at the end of the circular hole 14. A second rectangular groove 16, cooperating with the limiting ring 64, is formed on the inner wall of the groove 11 at the end of the circular hole 14, further restricting the movement of the small bevel gear drive rod 6.

[0040] The dustproof end cover 7 includes a circular plate 71 that fits into the circular groove 11. The circular plate 71 has three rectangular slots 72 that engage with three movable claws 2. A support column 73 is fixed at the center of the lower surface of the circular plate 71. A ball 74 is embedded at the lower end of the support column 73 to reduce friction between the dustproof end cover 7 and the disc 51 and improve smoothness of use.

[0041] This embodiment utilizes a three-jaw chuck structure combined with an adjustable main chuck head 3 and subsequently installable auxiliary chuck heads 4 to achieve flexible clamping of components of varying sizes within a certain range. It provides greater clamping stability, especially for heavier objects. After the three main chuck heads 3 clamp the end of the component, the six auxiliary chuck heads 4 further clamp the end, increasing the number of clamping points from the traditional three to nine, significantly improving the clamping stability and adaptability for irregularly shaped components.
