BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0012] Figure 1 It is a structure schematic view of the spinning machine in the preferred embodiment of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] The embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below, examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the utility model. If the specific technology or condition is not specified in the embodiments, the technology or condition described in the literature in the art or according to the product manual is used.
[0014] The utility model will be further described in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0015] Referring to Figure 1 As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the embodiment proposes a spinning machine, which comprises a main pressing rod 1, a pressing disc 2, a material clamping mandrel 3 and a pressing mechanism 4. The pressing disc 2 is connected to the first end of the main pressing rod 1, the first end of the main pressing rod 1 is provided with a ball head 11, and the diameter of the ball head 11 at the first end of the main pressing rod 1 is greater than the diameter of the main pressing rod 1. The pressing disc 2 is provided with a ball socket matched with the shape of the ball head 11, the ball head 11 is movably inserted into the ball socket, so that the main pressing rod 1 and the pressing disc 2 are formed into a ball joint. The pressing disc 2 and the material clamping mandrel 3 clamp the workpiece 101 between them and drive the workpiece to rotate, the pressing mechanism 4 presses the workpiece and moves along the length direction of the main pressing rod 1 so as to spin and form the workpiece 101 along the outer peripheral surface of the pressing disc 2.
[0016] To achieve a ball joint between the main pressure rod 1 and the pressure plate 2, the pressure plate 2 includes a fixedly connected forming part 21 and a movable cover 22. The forming part 21 and the clamping mandrel 3 are arranged opposite each other, and the movable cover 22 is located on the side of the forming part 21 away from the clamping mandrel 3. The side of the forming part 21 facing the movable cover 22 has a concave spherical surface 211, and the movable cover 22 has a sleeve hole 221 that fits around the main pressure rod and has an arc-shaped inner surface. The concave spherical surface 211 and the sleeve hole 221 form a ball-and-socket joint. For ease of assembly, the movable cover 22 has two halves that can be joined together (joined in half along the cutting direction shown in the figure). The movable cover 22 can be joined on the main pressure rod 1 and then fixedly connected to the forming part 21 at the first end of the main pressure rod 1 to form the pressure plate 2. Alternatively, the forming part 21 can be joined to the main pressure rod 1 first, and then the two halves of the movable cover 22 can be fixedly connected to the forming part 21 respectively and then joined together to form the pressure plate 2. Of course, in other embodiments, the pressure plate 2 can be directly set as two halves joined together, but this will destroy the integrity of the forming part 21, requiring higher precision joining and increasing the manufacturing cost of the spinning machine.
[0017] During the wheel spinning process, the workpiece 101 is clamped and fixed between the pressure plate 2 and the clamping mandrel 3, and the workpiece 101 is rotated. The pressure applying mechanism 4 of the spinning machine applies pressure to the workpiece 101, causing the workpiece 101 to be spun and formed along the outer circumferential surface of the pressure plate 2. Since the pressure plate 2 and the main pressure rod 1 are ball-jointed, even if the clamping posture of the workpiece 101 is not standard during the wheel spinning process (for example, the workpiece 101 and the clamping mandrel 3 are not completely perpendicular due to wear), the pressure plate 2 can always maintain good contact with the plane of the workpiece 101 through the adaptive ball-joint movement. This can improve the flatness quality of the workpiece 101 and reduce the problems of increased processes and wasted costs caused by its instability.
[0018] The second end of the main pressure rod 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 5. To prevent the main pressure rod 1 from falling off during rotation, a reinforcing rib 6 is provided between the second end of the main pressure rod 1 and the connecting plate 5 for reinforcement and fixation.
[0019] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
