Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic pipe processing technology, specifically to a plastic pipe positioning fixture. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the plastic products industry, plastic pipes are increasingly widely used in many fields, and their processing precision and efficiency directly affect product quality and corporate benefits.

[0003] In the field of plastic pipe processing, plastic pipe positioning fixtures usually adopt rigid clamps. This structure cannot automatically adjust the clamping force according to the changes in pipe diameter. When processing plastic pipes of different specifications, it is easy to cause the pipe surface to be indented or deformed due to excessive clamping, or the pipe to be shifted or shaken during processing due to excessive clamping, which seriously affects the processing accuracy and yield. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a plastic pipe positioning fixture to solve the problem of inconvenience in adjusting the clamping force of conventional plastic pipe positioning fixtures mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a plastic pipe positioning fixture, comprising a bracket assembled from a positioning ring, a pair of support rings, and several struts, and several swing arm assemblies disposed between the pair of support rings. Each swing arm assembly includes several support arms rotatably mounted between the pair of support rings via a rotating shaft. One end of each support arm is rotatably mounted with a pair of rollers, and the other end is connected to the support ring via an elastic member. An outer toothed sleeve is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. A toothed ring is commonly sleeved among the several outer toothed sleeves. The inner wall of the toothed ring meshes with the outer toothed sleeve for transmission. A gear is rotatably mounted on one side of the support ring, and the gear meshes with the outer wall of the toothed ring for transmission.

[0006] Preferably, a plurality of limiting rods are fixedly installed between a pair of support rings, and a positioning sleeve is rotatably sleeved on the end of the support arm away from the roller, and the elastic member is an elastic rope sleeved on the limiting rods and the positioning sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, the outer wall of the positioning sleeve is provided with a groove for accommodating the elastic rope.

[0008] Preferably, the gear is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the support ring via a connecting shaft, one end of which passes through the support ring and is fixedly mounted with a handwheel.

[0009] Preferably, the roller has an arc-shaped structure at its central position.

[0010] Preferably, a pair of rollers are rotatably fitted onto both sides of the support arm.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention uses a swing arm assembly, a toothed ring, and an elastic rope to center and clamp a plastic tube in a support ring. Rotating the handwheel drives the swing arm assembly to rotate, which can quickly achieve the positioning and release of the plastic tube. During the reset and clamping process, the elastic rope can automatically adjust the clamping force according to the diameter of the plastic tube, avoiding damage to the outer wall of the plastic tube due to excessive clamping.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a plastic tube positioning fixture, comprising a bracket assembled from a positioning ring 1, a pair of support rings 3, and several support rods 2, and several swing arm assemblies disposed between the pair of support rings 3. Each swing arm assembly includes several support arms 4 rotatably mounted between the pair of support rings 3 via a rotating shaft. A pair of rollers 5 are rotatably mounted on one end of each support arm 4, and the rollers 5 are rotatably sleeved on both sides of the support arm 4. An arc-shaped structure is provided at the center of each roller 5. The other end is connected to the support ring 3 via an elastic member. Through the arrangement of the swing arm assembly, the plastic tube can be centered and clamped within the positioning rings 3, avoiding processing position deviations caused by positional offset.

[0020] Please see Figures 2-4 Several limiting rods 9 are fixedly installed between a pair of support rings 3. A positioning sleeve 11 is rotatably sleeved at the end of the support arm 4 away from the roller 5. The elastic component is an elastic rope 10 sleeved on the limiting rods 9 and the positioning sleeve 11. The outer wall of the positioning sleeve 11 is provided with a groove 12 for accommodating the elastic rope 10. Since the elastic potential energy of the elastic rope 10 is limited, this device is only suitable for light processing of pipes, such as labeling, coding, appearance inspection, and laser engraving. An outer toothed sleeve 13 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. Several outer toothed sleeves 13 are sleeved together with the same toothed ring 6. The inner wall of the toothed ring 6 meshes with the outer toothed sleeve 13 for transmission. A gear 8 is rotatably installed on one side of the support ring 3. The gear 8 meshes with the outer wall of the toothed ring 6 for transmission. The gear 8 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the support ring 3 through a connecting shaft. One end of the connecting shaft passes through the support ring 3 and is fixedly installed with a handwheel 7.

[0021] When positioning the plastic tube, first turn the handwheel 7, the gear 8 meshes with the toothed ring 6 and rotates, the toothed ring 6 meshes with the outer toothed sleeve 13 and drives the support arm 4 to rotate around the axis and expand, the elastic rope 10 is in a taut state, then place the plastic tube to be processed in the middle of the support ring 3, after releasing the handwheel 7, under the action of the elastic potential energy of the elastic rope 10, drive the toothed ring 6 to rotate and reset, the roller 5 rotates to contact the outer wall of the plastic tube, clamping the plastic tube in the center position of the support ring 3, thus completing the positioning of the plastic tube.

[0022] This application uses a swing arm assembly, a toothed ring 6, and an elastic rope 10 to center and clamp a plastic tube in a support ring 3. Rotating the handwheel 7 drives the swing arm assembly to rotate, which can quickly achieve the positioning and release of the plastic tube. During the reset and clamping process, the elastic rope 10 can automatically adjust the clamping force according to the diameter of the plastic tube, avoiding damage to the outer wall of the plastic tube due to over-clamping, and at the same time improving the applicability of the positioning fixture.
