[0021] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only one embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other embodiments can be obtained based on these drawings and embodiments without creative effort, and all of them fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] according to Figure 1-7 As shown, a flanging machine clamping mechanism for processing fan casings includes a worktable 1, a base 2 rotatably mounted on the top of the worktable 1, a drive assembly installed inside the worktable 1 for driving the base 2 to rotate on the worktable 1, a movable rod 3 mounted on the base 2 for lifting and lowering, a hydraulic cylinder 24 for driving the movable rod 3 to lift and lower inside the worktable 1, and several sets of tensioning assemblies arranged circumferentially around the movable rod 3. The tensioning assemblies include an arc-shaped plate 4, a first support rod 5 hinged to the bottom inner side of the arc-shaped plate 4, the other end of the first support rod 5 hinged to the movable rod 3, a second support rod 6 movably mounted to the top inner side of the arc-shaped plate 4, the other end of the second support rod 6 hinged to the base 2, and the middle parts of the first support rod 5 and the second support rod 6 hinged to each other.

[0023] In this embodiment, the drive assembly includes a geared motor 7, a first bevel gear 8, and a second bevel gear 9. The geared motor 7 is fixedly installed inside the workbench 1 via a motor bracket. The first bevel gear 8 is fixedly installed at the power output end of the geared motor 7. The second bevel gear 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the base 2. The first bevel gear 8 and the second bevel gear 9 mesh with each other. The geared motor 7 drives the first bevel gear 8 to rotate. With the cooperation of the first bevel gear 8 and the second bevel gear 9, the base 2 rotates on the workbench 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, the base 2 is a ring-shaped structure, and the movable rod 3 is installed on the inner side of the base 2. Limiting blocks 10 are arranged in a circumferential array on the inner wall of the base 2. The side wall of the movable rod 3 is provided with a sliding groove 11 that matches the limiting block 10. When the base 2 and the movable rod 3 are installed together, the limiting block 10 is installed in the sliding groove 11. When the motor drives the base 2 to rotate, the base 2 drives the movable rod 3 to rotate under the cooperation of the limiting block 10 and the sliding groove 11.

[0025] In this embodiment, a fixed platform 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the movable rod 3, and a rotating platform 13 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the fixed platform 12. The power output end of the hydraulic cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating platform 13. The hydraulic cylinder 24 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the workbench 1. The movable rod 3 is supported by the hydraulic cylinder 24, and with the cooperation of the rotating platform 13 and the fixed platform 12, the movable rod 3 can rotate relative to the hydraulic cylinder 24. When the push rod of the hydraulic cylinder 24 retracts, the movable rod 3 descends, and vice versa, the movable rod 3 rises, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the movable rod 3 on the base 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, a plurality of fixing blocks 14 are fixedly installed at the top of the movable rod 3. The fixing blocks 14 are arranged in a circumferential array on the movable rod 3, and the number of fixing blocks 14 is consistent with the number of first support rods 5. A first support seat 15 is fixedly installed on the fixing blocks 14. The end of the first support rod 5 near the movable rod 3 is rotatably installed on the first support seat 15. A second support seat 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom inner side of the arc plate 4. The end of the first support rod 5 away from the movable rod 3 is rotatably installed on the second support seat 16. A third support seat 17 is fixedly installed at the top inner side of the arc plate 4. The side of the third support seat 17 is open. A waist-shaped hole 18 is provided, which extends along the axis of the movable rod 3. A connecting rod 19 is installed inside the waist-shaped hole 18. The connecting rod 19 is fixedly installed at the end of the second support rod 6. A fourth support seat 20 is rotatably installed at the end of the second support rod 6 away from the connecting rod 19. The fourth support seat 20 is fixedly installed at the top of the base 2. When it is necessary to fix the fan casing 25, the movable rod 3 is driven by the hydraulic cylinder 24 to descend, which changes the angle between the first support rod 5 and the second support rod 6, thereby causing the arc plate 4 to move outward and abut against the inner wall of the fan casing 25, thereby tightening and fixing the fan casing 25.

[0027] In this embodiment, several sets of support components are arranged around the base 2. The support components and the arc plate 4 are arranged alternately. The support components include a fixing frame 21, which is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1. A cylinder 22 is fixedly installed on the fixing frame 21. A support plate 23 is fixedly installed on the power output end of the cylinder 22. The support plate 23 extends along the radial direction of the base 2. When fixing the fan cylinder 25 with different diameters, the cylinder 22 drives the support plate 23 to rise. The support plate 23 supports the bottom end of the fan cylinder 25. After the tensioning component fixes the fan cylinder 25, the cylinder 22 drives the support plate 23 to fall and reset, so that the support plate 23 is separated from the fan cylinder 25, so as to facilitate the subsequent flanging work.

[0028] In use, the present invention first activates cylinder 22 via an external controller. The push rod of cylinder 22 extends, causing support plate 23 to rise. Then, the operator places the fan barrel 25 to be processed onto the outer periphery of arc plate 4. At this time, the support plate 23 supports the fan barrel 25. Then, hydraulic cylinder 24 is activated, and movable rod 3 descends under the drive of hydraulic cylinder 24, changing the angle between the first support rod 5 and the second support rod 6, thereby moving arc plate 4 outward until arc plate 4 abuts against the inner wall of fan barrel 25. Under the expansion and tightening action of arc plate 4, fan barrel 25 is fixed. The moving distance of arc plate 4 is changed by adjusting the descending height of movable rod 3, thereby positioning fan barrels 25 of different diameters. After cylinder 22 drives support plate 23 to separate from fan barrel 25, reducer motor 7 is activated, and reducer motor 7 drives base 2 to rotate on worktable 1. Movable rod 3 rotates synchronously with base 2, thereby rotating fan barrel 25 to cooperate with the flanging mechanism to perform flanging processing on fan barrel 25.

[0029] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this utility model within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
