Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an adjustable multi-point self-centering precision chuck, including a base plate 1, a mounting base 2 and a support rod 3. The mounting base 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the base plate 1 through the support rod 3. A centering mechanism 4 is provided on the mounting base 2. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the motor 5. The rotating shaft 6 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 2 and connected to the centering mechanism 4. The mounting base 2 is box-shaped.

[0024] Specifically, a control unit (such as a PLC or relay circuit) electrically connected to the motor 5 is set in the base plate 1 or an external control box. This unit includes a start / stop switch, a forward / reverse control module, and a speed controller (optional). The motor 5 is preferably a servo motor or a stepper motor, which drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate precisely by a specific angle by receiving control signals.

[0025] Further as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it is worth noting that the centering mechanism 4 includes a limiting groove 401, which is provided through the upper part of the mounting base 2. A movable rod 402 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 401. Four limiting grooves 401 are provided on the upper part of the mounting base 2, and the four limiting grooves 401 are evenly distributed on the mounting base 2 through the central axis of the mounting base 2. A positioning block 403 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable rod 402, and the positioning block 403 is limited by the limiting groove 401 on the upper part of the mounting base 2. A sliding movable rod 402 has a rotating disk 408 at its lower end. The rotating disk 408 is connected to the rotating shaft 6. The top end of the rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the center hole of the rotating disk 408 via a keyway or spline. The bottom of the rotating disk 408 is supported on the inner wall of the mounting base 2 by a bearing (not shown), ensuring that the rotating disk 408 rotates only around the axis of the rotating shaft 6. An arc-shaped groove 409 is provided on the rotating disk 408 corresponding to the movable rod 402. One end of the arc-shaped groove 409 is located near the outer periphery of the rotating disk 408. One end is positioned near the center of the rotating disk 408. Four arc-shaped grooves 409 are formed on the rotating disk 408, and the four arc-shaped grooves 409 are evenly distributed in a rotating manner around the center of the rotating disk 408. A hinge seat 404 is fixedly connected to the movable rod 402, and a hinge rod 405 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 404. A connecting sleeve 406 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 404 through the hinge rod 405. A guide rod 407 is slidably arranged inside the connecting sleeve 406. One end of the guide rod 407 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 4010, and the other end of the guide rod 407 is fixedly connected to the fixing sleeve 4011. A rotating rod 4012 is rotatably arranged inside the fixing sleeve 4011. The rotating rod 4012 is fixedly connected inside the mounting base 2. A torsion spring 4013 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing sleeve 4011. The two ends of the torsion spring 4013 are respectively connected to the rotating rod 4012 and the fixing sleeve 4011. The rotating rod 4012 is arranged inside the mounting base 2 and outside the rotating disk 408.

[0026] In use, the motor 5 operates, causing the rotating disk 408 to rotate within the mounting base 2 via the rotating shaft 6. The rotation of the rotating disk 408 causes the bottom end of the movable rod 402 to slide within the arc-shaped groove 409, and the movable rod 402 is limited to sliding within the limiting groove 401. This causes the movable rod 402 to synchronously move the positioning block 403 closer, thus enabling centering and positioning of the workpiece. Furthermore, the rotational connection between the hinge seat 404 and the connecting sleeve 406, along with the sliding of the connecting sleeve 406 on the guide rod 407, ensures stable sliding of the movable rod 402 within the mounting base 2, further improving the stability of the positioning block 403 in clamping and positioning the workpiece.

[0027] Specifically, a slider or roller (not shown) is fixed at the bottom of the movable rod 402. The slider is embedded in the arc groove 409 of the rotating disk 408 and slides with it. The radius of curvature of the arc groove 409 decreases from the outer periphery to the center, so that the movable rod 402 moves radially along the limiting groove 401 when the rotating disk 408 rotates. The torsion spring 4013 is in a pre-compressed state in the initial state (when the workpiece is not clamped). Its pre-tension ensures that the guide rod 407 drives the fixed sleeve 4011 to stick tightly to the rotating rod 4012. When the motor 5 reverses, the torsion spring 4013 releases the torque and drives the positioning block 403 to return to its original position synchronously.

[0028] Additionally, the workpiece contact surface of the positioning block 403 is provided with a replaceable hard alloy liner (such as tungsten carbide). The surface of the liner is machined into a V-groove or a flat surface to accommodate cylindrical or square workpieces. The positioning block 403 and the movable rod 402 are connected by an adjustable thread to achieve fine adjustment of the clamping height.

[0029] As can be seen from the above working process, the centering mechanism 4, in conjunction with the driving operation of the motor 5, enables the workpiece to be stably clamped on the upper part of the mounting base 2 when it is being centered and clamped, thereby ensuring the centering effect and the stability of the processing.

[0030] This solution has the following working process: When this device is in use, the motor 5 runs, causing the rotating disk 408 to rotate within the mounting base 2 via the rotating shaft 6. Under the rotation of the rotating disk 408, the bottom end of the movable rod 402 slides within the arc-shaped groove 409, and the movable rod 402 slides within the limiting groove 401, causing the movable rod 402 to synchronously move the positioning block 403 closer. This enables the workpiece to be centered and positioned. Furthermore, the rotating connection between the hinge seat 404 and the connecting sleeve 406, along with the sliding of the connecting sleeve 406 on the guide rod 407, ensures stable sliding of the movable rod 402 within the mounting base 2, further improving the stability of the positioning block 403 in clamping and positioning the workpiece. The torsion spring 4013 allows the guide rod 407 to easily reset after rotation on the rotating rod 4012, facilitating the reset of the positioning block 403 via the rotation of the motor 5, thus improving the ease of use of the device.

[0031] In summary: the centering mechanism 4, in conjunction with the drive of the motor 5, ensures that the workpiece is stably clamped on the upper part of the mounting base 2 during centering and clamping, thereby guaranteeing the centering effect and processing stability. The centering mechanism 4 also enables each positioning block 403 to maintain synchronous centering and positioning, improving the synchronicity of the workpiece centering process and ensuring that the workpiece can be accurately centered, thus enhancing the practicality of the device.
