[0017] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0019] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0020] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.
[0021] Example 1 Reference Figure 1 4. As the first embodiment of this utility model, a positioning component 1 is provided, including an operating table 101 and a support column 102. The lower end of the operating table 101 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support column 102. A pre-positioning mechanism 2 is provided at the upper end of the operating table 101, and a clamping mechanism 3 is provided at the lower end of the operating table 101. The pre-positioning mechanism 2 is used to pre-position the hardware product before processing, and the clamping mechanism 3 is used to clamp the hardware product.
[0022] Specifically, by setting up the pre-positioning mechanism 2 and the clamping mechanism 3 in coordination, the problems of inaccurate positioning and unstable clamping of hardware products during the clamping process are effectively solved. The pre-positioning mechanism 2 quickly positions the workpiece axially before clamping to ensure that it is in the correct initial position. Then the clamping mechanism 3 completes the clamping, improving the consistency and reliability of clamping. After clamping is completed, the pre-positioning mechanism 2 automatically disengages to avoid interfering with the main machining process.
[0023] Furthermore, the hardware products are pre-positioned by the pre-positioning mechanism 2 before processing, and then clamped by the clamping mechanism 3. At this time, the hardware products are firmly fixed by the main clamping mechanism 3 and can enter the next stage of processing.
[0024] Example 2 The second embodiment of this utility model provides a pre-positioning mechanism 2 including a protective cover 201, a fixing ring 202, a servo motor 203, a transmission shaft 204, a fixing sleeve 205, and a pre-positioning clamp 206. The surface of the protective cover 201 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing ring 202, the inner wall of the fixing ring 202 is fixedly connected to the surface of the servo motor 203, the output end of the servo motor 203 is fixedly connected to the surface of the transmission shaft 204, the surface of the transmission shaft 204 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 205, the surface of the fixing sleeve 205 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pre-positioning clamp 206, the inner wall of the operating table 101 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the protective cover 201, and the surface of the transmission shaft 204 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective cover 201.
[0025] Specifically, the pre-positioning mechanism 2 uses a servo motor 203 to drive the transmission shaft 204, the fixed sleeve 205, and the pre-positioning clamp 206 in a linkage structure, which solves the problem of inaccurate initial positioning and easy deviation of hardware products. The protective cover 201 and the fixed ring 202 effectively protect the internal transmission components and improve the stability of operation. The servo motor 203 controls the forward and backward movement of the pre-positioning clamp 206 to achieve rapid axial positioning of the workpiece and reliable pre-clamping before processing. After clamping, it can be reversed to disengage and avoid interference with the main processing.
[0026] Furthermore, before processing and positioning the hardware product, the pre-positioning mechanism 2 is first activated, and the servo motor 203 is powered on and runs. Its output end is fixedly connected to the surface of the transmission shaft 204, and the surface of the transmission shaft 204 is firmly connected to the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 205. The fixed sleeve 205 is connected to the pre-positioning clamp 206. As the servo motor 203 rotates, the motion is transmitted to the transmission shaft 204, causing the pre-positioning clamp 206 to rotate synchronously, so that it is fitted along the outer circumference of the hardware product, realizing the initial clamping and axial positioning of the workpiece. This pre-positioning process ensures that the hardware product is in the correct position before the subsequent clamping operation, providing a basis for clamping. After the clamping mechanism 3 completes the complete clamping of the hardware product, in order to avoid the pre-positioning component from interfering with the processing process, the servo motor 203 can be started in reverse. The servo motor 203 drives the transmission shaft 204 to rotate in reverse, so that the fixed sleeve 205 and the pre-positioning clamp 206 connected to it are disengaged from the hardware product, completing the release of the pre-positioning function.
[0027] Example 3 The third embodiment of this utility model provides a clamping mechanism 3 including a clamping motor 301, a driving gear 302, a driven gear 303, a fixed cylinder 304, a stroke groove 305, a sliding rod 306, a clamping plate 307, and a fixed plate 308. The output end of the clamping motor 301 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the driving gear 302. The tooth surface of the driving gear 302 meshes with the tooth surface of the driven gear 303. The inner side of the driven gear 303 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed cylinder 304. The stroke groove 305 is formed in the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 304, and the inner wall of the stroke groove 305 is connected to the sliding rod 306. The lower end of the moving rod 306 is slidably connected, the upper end of the sliding rod 306 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the clamping plate 307, the lower end of the clamping plate 307 is slidably connected to the upper end of the fixed plate 308, the surface of the clamping motor 301 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column 102, the surface of the fixed cylinder 304 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the operating table 101 through a bearing, the surface of the fixed plate 308 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the operating table 101, the upper surface of the sliding rod 306 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 308 through a sliding groove, and the lower end of the sliding rod 306 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 304 through a sliding groove.
[0028] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 3, through gear transmission and linkage with the stroke groove 305 and sliding rod 306, solves the problems of poor adaptability and uneven clamping force in traditional clamping methods. The driving gear 302 drives the driven gear 303 to rotate the fixed cylinder 304. The stroke groove 305 accurately converts the rotational motion into the axial linear motion of the sliding rod 306, realizing the radial feed of the clamping plate 307. It can automatically adjust the clamping stroke according to the actual size of the hardware product, and has good adaptability and clamping stability.
[0029] Furthermore, after pre-positioning is completed, the clamping motor 301 starts, and the driving gear 302 connected to its output end begins to rotate, forming a meshing transmission with the driven gear 303, thereby driving the driven gear 303 to rotate synchronously. A fixed cylinder 304 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the driven gear 303. The fixed cylinder 304 has a stroke groove 305 inside, and a slidable sliding rod 306 is installed in the groove. The upper end of the sliding rod 306 is connected to the clamping plate 307, and the clamping plate 307 moves linearly along the guide surface of the fixed plate 308. As the fixed cylinder 304 rotates under power transmission, the structure of the stroke groove 305 converts the rotational motion into the axial displacement of the sliding rod 306, thereby pushing the clamping plate 307 to move towards the surface of the hardware product. The clamping stroke is automatically adjusted according to the actual size of the workpiece to achieve stable and reliable clamping and fixing.
[0030] Working principle: Before processing and positioning the hardware product, the pre-positioning mechanism 2 is first activated, and the servo motor 203 is powered on. Its output end is fixedly connected to the surface of the drive shaft 204, and the surface of the drive shaft 204 is firmly bonded to the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 205. The fixed sleeve 205 is connected to the pre-clamp 206. As the servo motor 203 rotates, the motion is transmitted to the drive shaft 204, causing the pre-clamp 206 to rotate synchronously, so that it is fitted along the outer circumference of the hardware product, realizing the initial clamping and axial positioning of the workpiece. This pre-positioning process ensures that the hardware product is in the correct position before the subsequent clamping operation, providing a basis for clamping. After the pre-positioning is completed, the clamping motor 301 is started, and the driving gear 302 connected to its output end begins to rotate and forms a meshing transmission with the driven gear 303, thereby driving the driven gear 303 to rotate synchronously. A fixed cylinder 304 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the driven gear 303. The fixed cylinder 304 has a stroke groove inside. 305, a sliding rod 306 is installed in the groove. The upper end of the sliding rod 306 is connected to the clamping plate 307, and the clamping plate 307 moves linearly along the guide surface of the fixed plate 308. As the fixed cylinder 304 rotates under power transmission, the structure of the stroke groove 305 converts the rotational motion into the axial displacement of the sliding rod 306, thereby pushing the clamping plate 307 to move towards the surface of the hardware product. The clamping stroke is automatically adjusted according to the actual size of the workpiece to achieve stable and reliable clamping and fixing. After the clamping mechanism 3 has completed the complete clamping of the hardware product, in order to avoid interference of the pre-positioning component with the processing process, the servo motor 203 can be started in reverse. The servo motor 203 drives the transmission shaft 204 to rotate in reverse, so that the fixed sleeve 205 and the pre-positioning clamp 206 connected to it are disengaged from the hardware product, and the pre-positioning function is released. At this time, the hardware product is only firmly fixed by the main clamping mechanism 3 and can enter the next stage of processing.
[0031] In summary, through the synergistic effect of the servo motor-driven pre-positioning mechanism, the clamping motor linkage gear transmission, and the stroke groove sliding engagement mechanism, the positioning and adaptive clamping of hardware products before processing are achieved, and the pre-positioning constraint is automatically released after clamping is completed. This effectively ensures the stability and positioning consistency of the workpiece clamping, and improves the processing accuracy and automation efficiency.
