Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coupling processing, and in particular to a positioning device for coupling processing. Background Technology

[0002] During the machining of couplings, since couplings are mostly cylindrical and symmetrical, radial constraint is achieved through a clamping and positioning device during machining. Therefore, the positioning device is an indispensable machining equipment for couplings.

[0003] The utility model patent with patent number "202320605129.X" discloses a first clamping mechanism, with a coupling engaged on one side and a base extending through the other side. The base includes a screw threaded to one side of the first clamping mechanism, and a driven mechanism threaded to the outer wall of the screw. During clamping operations, a matching coupling is selected according to the specifications of the coupling to be processed, and then the coupling is inserted into the first clamping mechanism and the driven mechanism. While this method can adapt to couplings of different specifications in the length direction, it requires changing the "coupling" described in the text when dealing with couplings of different inner diameters, making actual operation very inconvenient.

[0004] The utility model patent with patent number "202021689691.8" and title "A Positioning Device for Coupling Processing" can position and fix the coupling from the inner wall, but the clamping mechanism of the device adopts a fixed screw transmission system. Its rigid connection characteristics make it impossible to rotate and position the workpiece after clamping. This structural limitation makes it impossible to adjust the circumferential angle of the coupling according to the process requirements during processing. Moreover, the inventor believes that the threaded sleeve-linkage mechanism based on the umbrella-shaped unfolding principle has mechanical transmission defects, and the manually operated thread adjustment mechanism has an operation delay of 0.8-1.2 seconds. Compared with other automated clamping methods, its clamping preparation time increases by 300%, which is difficult to meet the cycle time requirements of automated production lines. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a positioning device for coupling processing.

[0006] The positioning device for coupling processing provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A positioning device for coupling processing includes a first clamping mechanism, a second clamping mechanism, a rotating mechanism, and a transmission mechanism. The first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism have the same structure and are arranged opposite to each other on the transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism drives the first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism to move in opposite directions. The first clamping mechanism includes a motor, a connecting seat, a connecting plate, a baffle, a hollow rotating shaft, and a clamping assembly. The rotating mechanism drives the first clamping mechanism to rotate.

[0008] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes an annular limiting sleeve, a rotating plate, a limiting post, and a telescopic rod. A motor is fixed to the connecting seat. The connecting plate is disposed at one end of the connecting seat, and the other end of the connecting seat is fixed to one side of the baffle. The hollow rotating shaft is fixed to the other side of the baffle. The output end of the motor passes through the hollow rotating shaft. The end of the hollow rotating shaft away from the baffle is connected to the annular limiting sleeve. The inner wall of the annular limiting sleeve is provided with three sets of annular array limiting blocks. A limiting groove is radially formed on each limiting block, and the limiting groove penetrates the outer wall of the annular limiting sleeve. The output end of the motor is connected to the rotating plate. The rotating plate has three sets of annular array eccentric grooves. The limiting post is engaged in the eccentric groove. One end of the telescopic rod is provided with two connecting arms. The limiting post is fixed between the two sets of connecting arms. The other end of the telescopic rod passes through the limiting groove on the limiting block. A bearing seat is sleeved on the outside of the hollow rotating shaft, and the hollow rotating shaft rotates on the bearing seat.

[0009] Optionally, the transmission mechanism includes a dual-axis motor, a lead screw 1, a lead screw 2, a slide bar, two sets of moving blocks, and two sets of fixed blocks. The two output ends of the dual-axis motor are respectively connected to the lead screw 1 and the lead screw 2. The threads on the lead screw 1 and the lead screw 2 are in opposite directions. Each set of moving blocks is provided with a nut sleeve. The lead screw 1 and the lead screw 2 are threadedly engaged with the nut sleeve. Both ends of the lead screw 1 and the lead screw 2 are rotatably connected to the fixed blocks. The two sets of slide bars are arranged on both sides of the lead screw 1 and the lead screw 2. The slide bars pass through the two sets of moving blocks, and both ends of the slide bars are fixed between the fixed blocks. The bearing seat is fixed to the top of the moving blocks.

[0010] Optionally, the rotating mechanism is disposed on the moving block below the first clamping mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes a fixed frame, a second motor, a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a belt. The fixed frame is disposed on one side of the moving block. The sliding rod passes through the fixed frame. The second motor is fixedly connected to the fixed frame. The output end of the second motor is connected to the driving wheel. The driven wheel is rotatably fixed to the connecting plate. The belt is sleeved between the driving wheel and the driven wheel.

[0011] Optionally, a damping block is provided at the end of the telescopic rod away from the limiting post.

[0012] Optionally, a motor base is fixed to the bottom of the dual-axis motor, and the motor base is flush with the fixing block.

[0013] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] 1. The dual clamping mechanism adopts a reverse linkage design. The transmission mechanism realizes precise synchronous adjustment of the clamping distance. The motor drives the rotating plate to rotate within the annular limiting sleeve. With the mechanical linkage between the eccentric groove of the rotating plate and the telescopic rod, the composite control of axial positioning and radial clamping force can be completed simultaneously. When the rotating plate rotates, the telescopic rod extends and retracts radially within the limiting groove, thereby achieving clamping of the inner wall of the coupling. A damping block is set at the end of the telescopic rod away from the limiting post, which can significantly optimize the dynamic performance and stability of the clamping mechanism.

[0015] 2. The transmission system, which uses a dual-axis motor to drive the first and second reverse threaded lead screws, combined with a sliding rod guide structure, can adjust the distance between the first and second clamping mechanisms and adapt to the positioning of couplings of different sizes.

[0016] 3. Motor 2 can drive the rotation of the first clamping mechanism. When the first clamping mechanism clamps the coupling, it realizes the separation control of the axial positioning and circumferential rotation of the coupling. This structure allows the angular positioning of the coupling to be adjusted in real time during the processing, so as to meet the special requirements of different processing steps for the phase angle of the workpiece.

With the mechanical linkage between the eccentric groove 166 of the rotating plate 162 and the telescopic rod 164, the combined control of axial positioning and radial clamping force can be achieved simultaneously. When the rotating plate 162 rotates, the telescopic rod 164 extends and retracts radially within the limiting groove, thereby clamping the inner wall of the coupling.
