Flexible clamping tool for machining automatic production line
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of machining, in particular to a flexible clamping tool for a machining automatic production line.
Background
The machining automatic production line technology belongs to an advanced manufacturing technology, can greatly improve the part machining efficiency and shorten the machining period. The automatic production line for machining is mainly used for machining large-batch parts, and the production line is poor in flexibility. The existing machining automation production line mainly adopts a special tool to clamp, and has the advantages that the quick clamping and positioning of a part can be realized, the defects are obvious, and the following aspects are mainly embodied:
1. the universality is poor: a location frock can only be used to the processing of a part, and interchangeability is not strong. The method is only suitable for processing large-batch parts, and is not suitable for production modes which are similar to aerospace products and mainly use small batches.
2. The use cost is high: the processing type of parts needs redesign of the manufacturing and matching fixture, and the use cost is obviously increased.
3. Difficulty in management and maintenance: more tooling clamps put higher requirements on the management and maintenance of the production field, and more efforts are needed for the management and maintenance of the production line.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provides a clamping tool for solving the problem of clamping and positioning small-batch parts on a machining automatic production line.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a flexible clamping tool for a machining automatic production line comprises a positioning base and a tray,
the positioning base comprises a base body, a plurality of clamping holes formed in the surface of the base body and an air path arranged in the base body, the air path is communicated with each clamping hole, the clamping holes are pneumatic clamping mechanisms, a plurality of positioning pins are arranged on the bottom surface of the tray, a plurality of T-shaped grooves are formed in the top surface of the tray, and the positioning pins on the tray correspond to the clamping holes in the base body in position;
on the production line, the trays are automatically replaced by controlling the supply of the air circuit, each tray is loaded with one clamping model, and different trays can be loaded with different clamping models.
In the above technical solution, the clamping model includes a press plate model and a vise model.
In the technical scheme, when the clamping model is a vice model, the bottom of the vice model is provided with a plurality of positioning holes and threaded holes, the workpiece is fixedly connected with the T-shaped groove on the tray through screws, and the workpiece is clamped by the vice jaw of the vice model.
In the technical scheme, when the clamping model is a pressing plate model, the tray is provided with a plurality of pressing plates, each pressing plate is connected in a T-shaped groove on the tray through a screw, and the workpiece is arranged between the pressing plate and the tray.
In the technical scheme, the tray is provided with the clamping part for clamping the robot in the automatic clamping process.
In the above technical scheme, after the clamping model is loaded on the tray, the clamping model and the tray are kept parallel to each other.
In summary, due to the adoption of the technical scheme, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
through increasing tray and location base for can use the mode of crimping and the mode of centre gripping to fix the machined part simultaneously on the automated production line, can ensure to solve the clamping location problem of many article kind parts in small batch on the machining automation line.

Detailed Description
All of the features disclosed in this specification, or all of the steps in any method or process so disclosed, may be combined in any combination, except combinations of features and/or steps that are mutually exclusive.
Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any accompanying claims, abstract and drawings), may be replaced by alternative features serving equivalent or similar purposes, unless expressly stated otherwise. That is, unless expressly stated otherwise, each feature is only an example of a generic series of equivalent or similar features.
In the embodiment, the positioning base 1 is fixed on a machine tool workbench and does not need to move for a long time after being fixed for one time, the surface of the positioning base is provided with a plurality of clamping holes 1-2, a gas pipeline 1-1 is arranged inside the positioning base, the gas pipeline 1-1 is communicated with each clamping hole 1-2, and the clamping of the clamping holes is realized in a pneumatic driving mode.
In the embodiment, the tray 2 has one surface contacting with the positioning base 1, as shown in fig. 3, a plurality of positioning pins 2-2 are arranged on the bottom surface of the tray 2, the positions and the number of the positioning pins 2-2 correspond to those of the clamping holes 1-2, when the positioning pins 2-2 are inserted into the clamping holes 1-2, the closing and opening of the clamping holes 1-2 are controlled by controlling the ventilation and the air cut-off of the gas pipeline 1-1, and the separation and the clamping functions of the tray and the positioning base are realized.
The front surface of the tray 2 is provided with a plurality of T-shaped grooves 2-2, a workpiece or a clamping tool can be fixed on the top surface of the tray through the T-shaped grooves 2-2, the side surface of the tray 2 is provided with a clamping part 2-1 used for clamping a robot on an automatic production line, and the tray 2 is separated from the positioning base 1 through robot clamping.
In the embodiment, two clamping modes are provided, as shown in fig. 2, when the clamping tool is a vice 4, as shown in fig. 4, the bottom of the vice 4 is provided with a positioning hole 4-1 and a bolt hole 4-2, the vice 4 and the tray 2 are positioned through the positioning hole 4-1, repeated positioning accuracy is ensured, and the vice 4 is connected into the T-shaped groove 2-2 through the bolt 4-2 to realize mutual fixed locking and ensure clamping force.
As shown in fig. 1, when the clamping tool is a pressing plate 3, the pressing plate 3 is connected to four corner positions on the tray 2 through screws, a sliding groove with two through ends is formed in the pressing plate 3, a locking nut and a screw are arranged in the sliding groove, one end of the screw is connected to a T-shaped groove 2-2 of the tray 2, and the sliding groove is compressed through the locking nut, so that the pressing plate 3 and the tray 2 are compressed mutually. And the workpiece is set between the platen 3 and the tray 2.
In this embodiment, when the clamping tool shown in fig. 1 is used, the plane machining can be performed on the machined workpiece, when the clamping tool shown in fig. 2 is used, the machined workpiece can be subjected to side machining, the machined workpiece can be machined on the same production line through the operation of a robot arm, the two tools can be automatically controlled to be machined on the production line in turn under the condition that the clamping tool is not replaced, and the machining efficiency is improved.
