Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser marking machine technology, and in particular to a rotating shaft for a laser marking machine. Background Technology

[0002] Laser marking machines, as high-precision processing equipment, are widely used in marking and engraving of materials such as metals, plastics, and ceramics. The rotary axis is one of the core components of a laser marking machine. Its function is to achieve multi-angle marking by rotating the workpiece, thereby improving processing efficiency and marking accuracy. With the improvement of industrial automation, higher requirements are placed on the stability, flexibility, and adaptability of the rotary axis. Traditional rotary axes mostly adopt a fixed clamping structure, which is difficult to adapt to workpieces of different shapes and sizes. Especially in precision machining, improper clamping force control can easily lead to workpiece damage. Therefore, developing a laser marking machine rotary axis that combines high stability and flexible clamping capability has become a technical problem that the industry urgently needs to solve.

[0003] Existing laser marking machines typically use mechanical grippers or pneumatic clamps as clamping mechanisms for their rotating shafts. The technical principle is that the grippers are driven to close by a motor or cylinder, and the workpiece is fixed by a rigid contact surface. Mechanical grippers rely on gears or lead screws to open and close, while pneumatic clamps use compressed air to drive a piston. This type of structure has high clamping force and repeatability, which can meet most conventional processing needs. In addition, some high-end equipment uses electromagnetic clamping technology, which uses a magnetic field to attract and fix metal workpieces, but its applicability is limited and its cost is high. Existing technologies generally emphasize clamping rigidity and durability, but lack optimized design for workpiece surface protection during the clamping process.

[0004] The main problem with existing technologies is that clamping mechanisms are prone to damaging the workpiece surface. Since the clamping blocks are mostly made of metal or hard plastic, when clamping brittle materials or high-precision workpieces, the rigid contact surface can cause scratches, indentations, or even structural deformation, which seriously affects product quality. Especially in long-term processing or high-frequency clamping scenarios, the risk of workpiece damage is further aggravated. This problem not only increases the scrap rate but also limits the application of rotary axes in the field of precision machining. Therefore, a flexible clamping solution that can balance stable clamping and workpiece protection is needed to improve the processing adaptability and reliability of laser marking machines. To this end, a rotary axis for laser marking machines is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A pull block is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod, and a limiting block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod;

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

The clamping block is made of soft rubber, thereby achieving the effect of clamping the object.

[0024] In this invention, rotating the pull block causes the sliding rod to rotate the limiting block. As the limiting block rotates, it aligns with the slide groove. At this point, pulling the pull block causes the limiting block to disengage from the limiting block, thereby achieving the effect of quick disassembly of the clamping plate. This solves the problem that traditional clamping block disassembly requires multiple tools, which makes disassembly inconvenient and improves convenience. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Working principle: When clamping an object, by moving the movable rod 8, the rod slides inside the clamping plate 6, causing the inner block 7 to rotate within the clamping plate 6. Simultaneously, the inner block 7 drives the rotating block 9 to rotate, with one end of the rotating block 9 sliding within the clamping plate 6. The object is then placed on the outer wall of the multiple clamping blocks 11. After releasing the movable rod 8, the screw 14 drives the tension spring 13 to reset and lock the object in place. Because the clamping blocks 11 are made of rubber, damage to thin-walled objects during clamping is prevented.

[0035] When disassembling and cleaning the clamping plate 6, rotating the pull block 17 causes the sliding rod 16 to rotate the limiting block 18 inside the hollow column 15 and the fixed block 5, so that the limiting block 18 is released from the restriction of the limiting block 19. Then, after the limiting block 18 and the slide groove 20 are aligned, pulling the pull block 17 causes the sliding rod 16 to slide the limiting ring 22 and the spring 21 inside the hollow column 15, so that the sliding rod 16 and the limiting block 18 are released from the fixed block 5. Then, the fixed block 5 can be pulled out to separate the clamping plate 6 and the connecting rod 4. During installation, the pull block 17 is released, the spring 21 releases its elastic potential energy, so that the limiting ring 22 drives the sliding rod 16 into the fixed block 5. Rotating the pull block 17 causes the limiting block 18 to engage with the limiting block 19, and the installation is completed.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
