Detailed Implementation
[0023] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a self-locking fixture for locking a workpiece 500, which includes a workpiece body 510 and a retractable portion 520 above it. Therefore, this self-locking fixture is needed to lock the workpiece body 510 and the retractable portion 520.
[0025] This self-locking fixture includes a base 100, on which a mounting cavity 110 matching the workpiece body 510 is formed. One end of the base 100 has a first transverse sliding groove 120, in which a sliding rod 200 is slidably disposed. One end of the sliding rod 200 is connected to a connecting plate 210. The connecting plate 210 has two transversely arranged positioning pins 220. The base 100 also has positioning holes 140 that match the positioning pins 220 and connect to the mounting cavity 110. The workpiece body 510 has multiple holes, and the two positioning pins 220 can be inserted into the holes of the workpiece body 510 to position and self-lock the workpiece body 510. Meanwhile, a slide block 300 is provided above the base 100. Two transversely penetrating second slide grooves 310 are formed in the slide block 300. Guide rods 400 are slidably arranged in the second slide grooves 310 respectively. One end of the guide rod 400 is connected to the push block 410, and the other end of the guide rod 400 is connected to the pressure block 440 through the connecting rod 430. An elastic element is provided between the push block 410 and the slide block 300. The sliding of the guide rod 400 along the second slide groove 310 can drive the pressure block 440 to move laterally, so that the pressure block 440 can self-lock and press the retractable part 520 above the workpiece body 510, preventing the retractable part 520 from popping out and affecting subsequent processing.
[0026] Furthermore, a cylinder is provided on the outward side of the push block 410 to push the push block 410 to move toward the slide block 300, thereby causing the pressure block 440 at the other end of the guide rod 400 to release the workpiece 500 outward.
[0027] Furthermore, the other end of the slide rod 200 is also connected to a cylinder, which can drive the slide to move left and right, thereby causing the positioning pin 220 to extend into or disengage from the hole of the workpiece body 510, so as to realize the self-locking or unlocking of the workpiece body 510.
[0028] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5 A limiting groove 130 is provided below the first sliding groove 120, and a limiting block 230 that cooperates with the limiting groove 130 is connected below the sliding rod 200. The cooperation of the limiting groove 130 and the limiting block 230 can restrict the sliding path of the sliding rod 200, so that the positioning pin 220 can switch between locked and unlocked states.
[0029] Furthermore, the elastic element is a spring 420, which surrounds the guide rod 400. One end of the spring 420 contacts the slide block 300, and the other end contacts the push block 410. When the cylinder extends and acts on the push block 410, it moves the push block 410 toward the slide block 300, causing the pressure block 440 to move outward and release the retractable portion 520. When the cylinder retracts, the push block 410 returns to its original position under the action of the spring 420, causing the pressure block 440 to return to its initial position and press the retractable portion 520 of the workpiece 500.
[0030] Furthermore, the connecting rod 430 is L-shaped, and the pressure block 440 is connected to the top of the connecting rod 430.
[0031] Operating Instructions: In use, first, the cylinder extends and simultaneously presses inward the pushing block 410 and the slide rod 200, so that the pressure block 440 and the positioning pin 220 are in the unlocked state. At this time, the workpiece 500 is placed into the mounting cavity 110 of the base 100. Then, the cylinder retracts, causing the slide rod 200 to move laterally back to its original position, so that the positioning pin 220 on the connecting plate 210 is inserted into the hole of the workpiece body 510, thereby achieving positioning and locking of the workpiece body 510. At the same time, after the pushing block 410 is no longer pressed by the cylinder, it moves laterally outward under the action of the spring 420 to return to its original position, so that the pressure block 440 presses the retractable part 520 on the workpiece body 510 downward to prevent it from popping upward.
[0032] In summary, the self-locking fixture of this invention features a slidingly adjustable positioning pin and a pressure block, which can lock and unlock the workpiece body and its retractable parts respectively, ensuring that the retractable parts are locked during processing and guaranteeing processing accuracy. Furthermore, the pressure block is in a locked state in its natural state, ensuring stable self-locking of the retractable components. The self-locking of the pressure block is controlled independently by a cylinder, allowing for unlocking or locking as needed during processing, which is convenient, quick, and provides excellent results. Therefore, this invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of existing technologies and possesses high industrial application value.
