Detailed description of the invention
See Fig. 3, it is the pressure plate clamping mechanism that the present invention relates to.The present invention is applicable to the clamping workpiece (as Bulk plastic mould) on horizontal machine tool.This pressure plate clamping mechanism comprises pressing plate 2 and the force application rod 3 through pressing plate 2, and one end of pressing plate 2 is supported on cushion block 1, and the other end is used for workpiece pressing.Described cushion block 1 comprises support portion and to step down portion, and the end face 11 of described support portion contacts with pressing plate 2, described in the portion of stepping down be provided with resigning hole 15, the described force application rod 3 of confession passes, and is provided with gap between the end face 12 in the portion that steps down and pressing plate 2.
First, second contact surface 21,22 is formed respectively in force application rod 3 both sides bottom described pressing plate 2.Described cushion block 1 top comprises at least two planes: the end face 11 of support portion, the end face 12 in the portion that steps down, and see Fig. 4, the end face 11 of described support portion contacts with pressing plate 2, and does not contact with force application rod 3.Stepping down between the end face 12 in portion and pressing plate 2 and have gap, the end face 12 in the portion that namely steps down is " region 16 of stepping down ".This region ensure that the end face 12 in the portion that steps down of cushion block 1 does not directly contact with pressing plate 2.Therefore, this region does not stress in theory.Comprise bottom surface, support portion 13 and bottom surface, portion 14 of stepping down bottom described cushion block 1, the bottom surface 13 of support portion and the bottom surface 14 in the portion that steps down are at grade.
The described portion of stepping down is provided with around force application rod 3 and the resigning hole 15 coordinated with force application rod 3.As seen from the figure, this resigning hole 15 can be circular hole, sees Fig. 5, can be also U-shaped hole, see Fig. 6.No matter which kind of embodiment, cushion block 1 can surround force application rod 3.When resigning hole 15 adopts form as shown in Figure 6, be equivalent to open a unidirectional breach in cushion block 1 side, force application rod 3 can put in from this barbed portion.And resigning hole 15 hole wall can with the contacts side surfaces of force application rod 3, see Fig. 8, also can not contact, see Fig. 7.Due to the existence in " region 16 of stepping down ", when resigning hole 15 hole wall and force application rod 3 contacts side surfaces, between the end face 11 of support portion, the end face 12 in the portion that steps down, transition face 17 must be had, not contact with force application rod 3 to make the end face 11 of support portion.
Described force application rod 3 is for execute stressed sub-assembly to pressing plate 2, and this pressure can be produced by various mode, the modes such as such as screw threads for fastening, hydraulic pressure or pneumatic pinch, and namely force application rod 3 can be bolt and nut clamp system, hydraulic cylinder or cylinder clamping mechanism etc.In the present embodiment, preferred bolt nut clamp system.See Fig. 3, force application rod 3 comprises bolt 31, and described bolt 31 lower end coordinates with the T-slot 61 on the workbench 6 residing for pressure plate clamping mechanism, and bolt 31 upper end is connected with nut 32, with clam member 2.Also support pad 33 can be established between nut 32 and pressing plate 2.
The present invention is based on lever principle to develop, though cushion block is single part, both born the active force of force application rod side, and had again the effect of support, and can be described as " composite block ".This cushion block has three functions: 1) serve as stress point effect, holding capacity F1, in order to balance on workpiece to be clamped to power F2, see Fig. 2, F1XS1=F2XS2, F3=F1+F2; 2) cushion block is subject to the reaction force of power F1, evenly be split on whole cushion block, power F1 is delivered on bottom cushion block by the end face of support portion, to utilize above cushion block " allow dummy section ", make the stress surface (i.e. bottom surface, support portion+bottom surface, portion of stepping down) shared equally below cushion block that bolt can be leaned on nearer, even encased by whole bolt, the stress equalization of whole cushion block is not damaged.3) for the theoretical stress point of confining force F1 is away from bolt, is stepped down out in the region of cushion block by bolt, arm of force S1 can be increased like this, make F1 and F2 still remain on the both direction of fulcrum.Adopt the present invention, the distance between force application rod and workpiece to be clamped can be shortened, expand the size range of the upwards workpiece of X on lathe simultaneously.When distance when between force application rod and workpiece to be clamped reduces, the distance between cushion block and force application rod also reduces simultaneously.Although the arm of force reduce, can increase cushion block end face divide the power F1 be subject to, the integral type block structure of cushion block can guarantee that this power is balanced in cushion block bottom surface.Therefore " region of stepping down " in vertical direction need not size very large, have small―gap suture, the certain height of cushion block can increase balance and the stability of whole clamp system.
From illustrating above, the part of the present invention to original-pack clamp mechanism is changed, and other parts can change, and comprise the bolt and pressing plate that serve as fixed pivot effect.Simple and practical especially, and cushion block is easily processed, and can reduce manufacturing cost.During clamping, need ensure that end face 11 height of support portion is higher than the second contact surface 22.Other pad 7 can be set up again, with flexible modulation pressing plate 2 height between the end face 11 of the support portion of cushion block 1 and pressing plate 2.For the embodiment shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 8, composition graphs 3, workpiece to be clamped 4 is placed on fixed block 5, and there is a fluting workpiece to be clamped 4 side, bolt 31 is embedded in T-slot 61, cushion block 1 is surrounded bolt 31, and pressing plate 2 contacts with the end face 11 of support portion through bolt 31, first contact surface 21, second contact surface 22 is slotted with workpiece 4 and is contacted, add support pad 33 and nut 32, nut 32 is tightened, and is fixed by workpiece 4.
After practical application is got off, clamping intensity and common clamping are compared and are not affected, simple.For increasing clamping stability, the fixed block that can specially lower between workpiece to be clamped and workbench.Utilize pressing plate to make intermediary's lever, bolt supports, and pressing plate one is fixed on workpiece, and other one is fixed on compound parallels.The height of pressing plate can be adjusted later, ensured the flexible controllability of clamping height by minipad or gasket ring.
