Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elastic collet processing technology, specifically to an elastic collet grooving device. Background Technology
[0002] Elastic collets are cylindrical clamps used on milling machines to hold drill bits or milling cutters. As a widely used clamping mechanism, elastic collets have the characteristics of good clamping accuracy and convenient operation, and have been widely used in the fields of machining and tool assembly. However, when machining elastic collets, the end face grooves on the front and rear sides need to be slotted.
[0003] Traditional grooving methods involve fixing the cylinder with a clamp and using a cutter to groove the clamp. However, the clamp needs to be grooved at equal angles. Traditional manual positioning grooving methods are inefficient for positioning the clamp and require manual adjustment of the cutter position, which increases the number of manual operation steps and the risk factor. Therefore, we need to propose a flexible clamp grooving device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an elastic collet grooving device that supports the inside of the collet to facilitate grooving from the outside, thereby improving the efficiency of collet grooving and enhancing the effect of collet angle adjustment. This facilitates the rotation of the collet at equal angles, ensuring consistent grooving angles on the collet, thus improving the quality of collet grooving and reducing the risk of frequent manual angle adjustments, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0022] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an elastic collet grooving device, comprising:
[0024] Workbench 1, and grooving mechanism 2 installed on workbench 1 for slotting elastic collets;
[0025] An angle adjustment mechanism 4, which is rotatably mounted on the workbench 1 to support the elastic collet, and a fixing mechanism 5, which is mounted on the angle adjustment mechanism 4 to fix the elastic collet, can drive the elastic collet fixed by the fixing mechanism 5 to adjust its angle stably.
[0026] The top of the workbench 1 is equipped with a mounting base 3 for adjusting the mounting angle 4, and the upper surface of the workbench 1 is equipped with a protective mechanism to prevent debris from flying during grooving.
[0027] The angle adjustment mechanism 4 includes a servo motor 41 mounted on the mounting base 3. The output end of the servo motor 41 is connected to a rotating shaft seat 42, and a connecting cylinder 43 is mounted on the rotating shaft seat 42. The connecting cylinder 43 is provided with a mounting platform 45 for placing the elastic collet. The upper surface of the workbench 1 is provided with a mounting hole 8 for the connecting cylinder 43 to be rotated and mounted. Two sets of bearings 9 are provided in the mounting hole 8. The servo motor 41 drives the connecting cylinder 43 on the rotating shaft seat 42 to rotate, thereby driving the elastic collet fixed by the fixing mechanism 5 to rotate so that it can be rotated to a fixed angle for slotting. The rotation angle of the servo motor 41 is controlled by an external controller, which can be purchased and used directly. Its circuit connection relationship and control principle are common knowledge in the prior art and will not be described in detail.
[0028] The fixing mechanism 5 includes a top support 51 and multiple sets of inner supports 52 arranged at equal angles. The mounting platform 45 has guide holes 46 for installing the multiple sets of inner supports 52. The top support 51 is installed at the bottom of the connecting cylinder 43, and the upper end of the top support 51 abuts against the multiple sets of inner supports 52. The position of the multiple sets of inner supports 52 is adjusted by the top support 51, so that the multiple sets of inner supports 52 are unfolded and fixed to the elastic collet, thereby improving the stability of the elastic collet during slotting.
[0029] The top support 51 includes a vertical push cylinder 511 installed at the bottom of the connecting cylinder 43. The telescopic end of the vertical push cylinder 511 is provided with a top cone 512. Two sets of maintenance side grooves 44 are opened on the outer side of the connecting cylinder 43. The position of the top cone 512 can be easily adjusted by using the vertical push cylinder 511. Furthermore, the top cone 512 contacts the vertical plate 522 with its outer inclined surface, thereby allowing multiple sets of vertical plates 522 to move relative to each other, completing the fixation of elastic collets with different inner diameters and improving the applicability.
[0030] Each set of internal support members 52 includes a vertical plate 522, two sets of guide rods 524, and two sets of spring telescopic sleeves 523. The two sets of guide rods 524 are fixedly connected in the guide hole 46 and slidably connected to the vertical plate 522. The two sets of spring telescopic sleeves 523 are installed between the vertical plate 522 and the connecting cylinder 43. An inner clamping block 521 is provided on the upper end of one side of the vertical plate 522, and an anti-slip pad 525 is adhered to one side of the inner clamping block 521. The two sets of spring telescopic sleeves 523 can conveniently limit the position of the vertical plate 522 so that the distance between the internal support members 52 is minimized when the elastic collet is not fixed, which facilitates the installation of the elastic collet. The guide rods 524 improve the stability of the vertical plate 522 when it moves, thereby facilitating the contact between the anti-slip pad 525 on the inner clamping block 521 and the inner wall of the elastic collet, improving the stability of fixing the elastic collet.
[0031] The protective mechanism includes two sets of guide beams 6 installed on the upper surface of the workbench 1 and a protective cover 7 slidably disposed between the two sets of guide beams 6. Each of the two sets of guide beams 6 has a groove 61 on one side. Both sides of the protective cover 7 are fixed with sliders 71 that slide within the grooves 61. The protective cover 7 can protect the elastic collet from slotting, preventing debris from flying during slotting and reducing the risk factor of slotting. Furthermore, the protective cover 7 is a transparent cover with an opening on one side. The sliders 71 can slide within the grooves 61 to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the protective cover 7, improving the ease of use.
[0032] The grooving mechanism 2 includes a transverse push cylinder 21 and two sets of guide rails 24 mounted on the upper surface of the workbench 1. The telescopic end of the transverse push cylinder 21 is equipped with a support frame 22 that slides on the two sets of guide rails 24. A grooving machine 23 for grooving elastic collets is provided on the support frame 22. The position of the grooving machine 23 can be easily and quickly adjusted by the transverse push cylinder 21, thereby improving the grooving efficiency of the elastic collets.
[0033] In use, first place the elastic collet that needs to be slotted on the mounting platform 45, and position the multiple sets of inner support members 52 in the shaft hole of the elastic collet. Adjust the position of the top cone 512 by vertically pushing the cylinder 511, so that the top cone 512 abuts against the upright plate 522 of the multiple sets of inner support members 52, thereby compressing the spring telescopic sleeve 523 and causing the upright plate 522 to slide along the guide rod 524 in the guide hole 46, thereby moving the inner clamping block 521 relatively away, and using the anti-slip pad 525 to abut against the inner wall of the elastic collet for support and fixation.
[0034] By adjusting the position of the support frame 22 by pushing the cylinder 21 laterally, the grooving machine 23 can perform grooving on the elastic collet. When other slots need to be opened, the servo motor 41 drives the connecting cylinder 43 to rotate at a fixed angle, thereby repeating the action of the grooving machine 23 to open slots of equal angle on the elastic collet, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of grooving on the elastic collet.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
