Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of four-axis machining center technology, specifically a quick-change pneumatic fixture for a four-axis machining center. Background Technology
[0002] A four-axis machining center is a high-precision, high-efficiency CNC machine tool mainly used for machining parts with complex shapes. It adds a rotary axis (usually the A-axis) to the traditional three-axis (X, Y, Z axes), allowing the tool to move in four directions, thus enabling more complex machining operations. A pneumatic rotary chuck is a device that uses pneumatic pressure to clamp and rotate the workpiece. It is widely used in CNC lathes, grinding machines, machining centers, and other equipment. The pneumatic rotary chuck has a built-in high-speed rotary cylinder, eliminating the need for additional hydraulic rotary cylinders and tie rods, saving space and cost.
[0003] In existing pneumatic rotary chucks, the rotating ring on the chuck needs to remain stationary during rotation so that the pneumatic connector on the rotating ring can be connected to the air pipe. However, the centrifugal force generated when the pneumatic rotary chuck rotates at high speed is still forcefully transmitted to the rotating ring, giving the rotating ring a torsional force. The air pipe applies a pulling force to the rotating ring to counteract the torsional force, which makes it easy for air to leak at the connection between the pneumatic connector and the air pipe. To solve the above problems, this application proposes a quick-change pneumatic fixture for a four-axis machining center. Utility Model Content

The horizontal telescopic sleeve, the fixed bracket, and the vertical telescopic sleeve form a fixing mechanism for the rotating ring. When the pneumatic rotary chuck rotates, the fixing mechanism can limit the rotation of the rotating ring, preventing the rotating ring from rotating with the pneumatic rotary chuck. This can improve the protection of the air pipe and the air pipe joint connection, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
