Abstract

A fixture for suppressing tool vibration on an outer rim, wherein a pressure claw base, an end face block and a base are installed on the chuck, and the pressure claw is installed on the chuck; a lower pressure plate is fixed on the base, limiting columns and an upper pressure plate are installed on the lower pressure plate, with steel balls and a rubber strip being enclosed in a space formed by the lower pressure plate and the upper pressure plate; and a rubber strip is enclosed in an annular groove formed by a jaw A and a jaw B, and can move radially in the groove. The fixture in the present invention is configured to counteract the vibration of the wheel rim during machining, and thus can effectively eliminate the problem of tool vibration on the outer rim.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fixture for suppressing tool vibration on an outer rim, comprising a chuck, a pressure claw base, a pressure claw shaft, an end face block, a pressure claw, a lower pressure plate, a rubber strip, steel balls, an upper pressure plate, a base, a positioning mandrel and limiting columns, wherein
the pressure claw base, the end face block and the base are installed on the chuck, the positioning mandrel is installed on the base, and the pressure claw is installed on the chuck via the pressure claw shaft and the pressure claw base, the lower pressure plate is fixed on the base, and the limiting columns and the upper pressure plate are installed on the lower pressure plate, with the steel balls and the rubber strip being enclosed in a space formed by the lower pressure plate and the upper pressure plate,
two protrusion structures are formed on an upper end face of the lower pressure plate, and two corresponding protrusion structures are formed on a lower end face of the upper pressure plate, with the outer protrusion structure on the lower pressure plate and the outer protrusion structure on the upper pressure plate forming an outer jaw, and the inner protrusion structure on the lower pressure plate and the inner protrusion structure on the upper pressure plate forming an inner jaw, the rubber strip is enclosed in an annular groove formed by the outer jaw and the inner jaw, and are configured to move radially in the groove, and
three groups of the steel balls are enclosed inside the inner jaw and are separated by three limiting columns therebetween to avoid moving circumferentially during operation.

2. The fixture for suppressing tool vibration on the outer rim according to claim 1 , wherein a bevel structure is arranged on the upper end face of an outer portion of the lower pressure plate, after the operation is completed, the steel balls roll inwardly under the action of self-weight and thus disengage from the rubber strip to facilitate removal of the wheel.
