[0002] Centrifugal force-free cutting machine tools are innovative machining equipment mainly used to solve the problems caused by centrifugal force, vibration and deformation in the traditional machining of slender shafts. In the application of the machine tool, auxiliary material feeding and clamping devices are usually required to feed the material, which can improve production efficiency and machining accuracy, as well as improve the safety and comfort of the work.
[0003] However, existing auxiliary material feeding and clamping devices may be affected by vibration and impact during cutting, causing them to become unstable. This instability can lead to material displacement during feeding, affecting machining accuracy and surface quality. Secondly, different materials and cutting conditions require different feeding methods. Most auxiliary devices can only be optimized for specific materials and shapes, lacking flexibility and thus limiting the versatility of machine tools. For example, for materials of varying hardness, the required feed speed and pressure will differ, and the auxiliary device may not be able to adjust them effectively. Utility Model Content

[0027] Please see Figure 1-8The auxiliary material feeding and clamping device of this utility model includes an inner disk 1, a pull rod 2, a pull ring 3, clamping components 4, a rotating plate 5, a wheel axle 6, an outer disk 7, and rollers 8. The pull rod 2 is slidably installed inside the inner disk 1, with one end fixed to the pull ring 3. Several sets of clamping components 4 are installed inside the inner disk 1. Each clamping component 4 has a double-lever structure, with both ends of one side fixed inside the inner disk 1 and on the pull rod 2, respectively. When the pull ring 3 is pulled to move the pull rod 2, one end of the clamping component 4 is fixed while the other end moves, and the cross structure changes to adapt to the size of the material, thus clamping it. The outer disk 7 is located at one end outside the inner disk 1. The rotating plate 5 is fixed to both the outer disk 7 and the outer disk 1. One end of the wheel axle 6 is fixed to the rotating plate 5, and the other end is fixed inside the rollers 8. Rotating the outer disk 7 drives the rollers 8 to rotate, generating a belt force that moves the entire device, thus realizing the feeding function of the entire device.
[0028] The inner disk 1 is a hollow cylinder with an arc-shaped cross-section. The inner disk 1 has three sets of grooves 11 extending along the extension direction of the inner disk 1. The three sets of grooves 11 are equally spaced around the central axis of the inner disk 1 cylinder. The sides of the grooves 11 are provided with a number of first protrusions 12 at intervals along the extension direction. The first protrusions 12 are provided with transverse through holes.
[0029] One end of the inner disk 1 is provided with a shoulder 13 whose outer diameter is slightly larger than that of the main body of the inner disk 1. The shoulder 13 is a hollow column. The shoulder 13 is provided with several grooves near the main body of the inner disk 1. The width of the grooves gradually increases at the end near the main body of the inner disk. The mounting holes of the rotating plate 2 are provided on both sides of the grooves away from the main body of the inner disk 1.
[0030] Preferably, the shoulder portion 13 is provided with a guide hole 14 on its exterior to increase the friction at the end of the overall device.
[0031] The pull rod 2 is slidably installed in the groove 11. The pull rod 2 is provided with a plurality of second protrusions 21 at intervals along the extension direction. The second protrusions 21 are provided with transverse through holes. The second protrusions 21 and the first protrusions 12 are arranged alternately.
[0032] The pull ring 3 is a ring-shaped structure and is located at the end of the inner plate 1 away from the shoulder 13. One end of the pull rod 2 extends out of the inner plate 1 and is fixed on the pull ring 3. By pulling the pull ring 3, the pull rod 2 can slide in the groove 11.
[0033] The clamping member 4 includes a fixed arm 41 and a movable arm 42. The fixed arm 41 has a rectangular cross-section with equal central cutouts. The two ends of the fixed arm 41 have symmetrical handle structures. One end of the fixed arm 41 has a handle fixed to the through hole of the first protrusion 12. The middle side plate of the fixed arm 41 has a through hole.
[0034] The boom 42 has a rectangular cross-section cut outwards at equal intervals from the center. The width of the central rectangle is the same as that of the central rectangle of the fixed arm 41. Both ends have symmetrical handle structures similar to those of the fixed arm 41. One end of the boom 42's handle is fixed to the through hole of the second protrusion 21. The middle side plate of the boom 42 has through holes corresponding to those of the fixed arm 41. The middle part of the boom 42 passes through the hollow part in the middle of the fixed arm 41. Bolts are inserted into the through holes on the side to fix the boom 42 and the fixed arm 41. The boom 42 and the fixed arm 41 have a cross structure. When the pull rod 2 is pulled, the boom 42 moves, causing the fixed arm 41 to move, thus deforming the cross structure between the boom 42 and the fixed arm 41. In this embodiment, when the pull rod 2 is pushed towards the inner plate 1, the boom 42 and the fixed arm 41 move closer to each other; when the pull rod 2 is pulled away from the inner plate 1, the boom 42 and the fixed arm 41 separate.
[0035] The clamping member 4 is not fixed at either end and is also provided with centering wheels 43. The centering wheel 43 is a column with a concave surface in the middle and a through hole in the center of the column for fixing to the handles of the fixed arm 41 and the movable arm 42 that are not fixed; the concave surfaces of several sets of centering wheels 43 form a circular surface the size of a cylindrical material, which is suitable for auxiliary feeding of cylindrical materials.
[0036] The outer disk 5 is disposed outside the inner disk 1 near one end of the shoulder 13, and is symmetrical to the shoulder 13. The grooves of the inner disk 1 and the outer disk 7 are opposite to each other and combined.
[0037] The rotating plate 6 has a plate-like structure at its center and columnar structures at both ends. The columnar structures at both ends are inserted into the mounting holes on the side of the groove, thereby fixing the rotating plate 5 inside the groove. The plate-like structure of the rotating plate 5 has a through hole at its center.
[0038] The axle 7 includes a longitudinal column and a transverse column with a central through hole extending to one end, wherein the cross-sectional area of the transverse column occupies half of the cross-sectional area of the longitudinal column. The central through hole of the transverse column corresponds to the through hole of the rotating plate 6, and the axle 7 is fixed to the rotating plate 6 by inserting bolts; the longitudinal columns of the axles 7 of the inner disc 1 and the outer disc 5 are close to each other.
[0039] The roller 8 is disposed within and abuts against the groove. It is an elliptical sphere with flattened ends and a central through-hole. The longitudinal column of the axle 7 extends into the roller 8 for fixation. The angle of the roller 8 is adjustable. When the through-hole of the roller 8 forms a certain angle with the extending direction of the inner disk 1, the outer disk 5 rotates, causing the roller 8 to rotate due to friction. This generates a component force that drives the entire device to move back and forth, thus achieving the feeding function.
[0040] In the initial state, the inner disk 1 is fixed, and the outer disk 5 drives the roller 8 to the limit position through the wheel axle 7 fixed on the rotating plate 6 so that the inner disk 1 and the outer disk 5 are linearly aligned. The bottom pull ring 3 is pushed to the limit position close to the inner disk 1, and the clamping member 4 is returned to the initial position, i.e. the maximum material diameter length, by pulling the pull rod 2.
[0041] In operation, the material is fed into the inner disk 1 through the lower pull ring 3. The centering wheel 43 in the device effectively and quickly feeds the material into the clamping auxiliary device. When the material is fed to the top of the inner disk 1, pulling out the pull ring 3 adjusts the fixed arm 41 and the movable arm 42 to the appropriate position, i.e., the current material diameter. The pressure provided by the fixed arm 41, the movable arm 42, and the centering wheel 43 is sufficient to support the stability of the material. Finally, the entire auxiliary device is fed into the machine tool by rotating the outer disk 5 of the auxiliary device (left-hand feed, right-hand feed). Throughout the process, the material is not affected by the deviation caused by rotation, even during feeding, due to the pressure provided by the centering wheel 43 in the device, greatly improving the processing accuracy.
[0042] This utility model's auxiliary material feeding and clamping device, based on a fixed end, utilizes the rotation of the outer disk 5 to transfer mechanical equivalence to the entire device, enabling it to perform feeding functions. Simultaneously, through the redesign and optimization of the pull rod 2, the auxiliary device can improve accuracy while adapting to materials of various sizes, significantly improving product versatility and greatly reducing costs. This utility model employs a rigid working mechanism, reducing the difficulty of product manufacturing and featuring a lightweight overall device, which helps to simplify the overall processing and production process, while effectively extending product lifespan and reducing operating costs. This utility model is simple to operate, greatly aiding assembly workers in quickly learning and using it, and significantly improving assembly efficiency and reducing assembly costs.
[0043] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
