Abstract

A tool for clamping using end surfaces of box workpieces, comprises a soleplate and an upper template. A tightening cylinder has a piston rod connected with a top plate, and the top plate and the piston rods are in swinging connection. Three protrusions are arranged on the upper surface of the top plate and distributed in a triangle shape. A rotating shaft is arranged beside a position of the upper template, the upper end of the rotating shaft is provided with a hand wheel capable of driving the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft is sleeved with a compression spring on the portion between the hand wheel and the upper surface of the upper template, and the lower end of the rotating shaft is fixed with one end of a transverse support rod which is linked with the rotating shaft.

Claims

1. A tool for clamping using end surfaces of workpieces, comprising a soleplate and an upper template, upright posts being supported between the soleplate and the upper template, the upper template being provided with die holes, the inner edge of each die hole being provided with at least two inward bulges, and step-shaped through holes having big top and small bottom being arranged on each inward bulge;

a tightening cylinder being arranged at a position of the soleplate correspondingly below the die holes, the piston rod of the tightening cylinder being connected with a top plate, and the top plate and the piston rods being in swinging connection; and

three protrusions being arranged on the upper surface of the top plate and distributed in a triangle shape;

a rotating shaft being arranged beside a position of the upper template corresponding to each die hole, the rotating shaft penetrating the upper template from the top down, the upper end of the rotating shaft being provided with a hand wheel capable of driving the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft being sleeved with a compression spring on the portion between the hand wheel and the upper surface of the upper template, and the lower end of the rotating shaft being fixed with one end of a transverse support rod which is linked with the rotating shaft.

2. The tool for clamping using end surfaces of workpieces according to claim 1, wherein the hand wheel consists of an upper disc and a lower column, the outer diameter of the upper disc is larger than that of the lower column, a notch is formed on the periphery of the upper disc, and a limiting pin, which can be fitted inside the notch of the upper disc for restricting the rotation of the hand wheel, is arranged on the upper template.

3. The tool for clamping using end surfaces of workpieces according to claim 1, wherein a shallow groove is formed between two ends of the transverse support rod.

4. The tool for clamping using end surfaces of workpieces according to claim 1, wherein the tightening cylinder is provided with three parallel piston rods, the three piston rods are connected together through a connecting block, and the top plate is hinged with the upper surface of the connecting block.

5. The tool for clamping using end surfaces of workpieces according to claim 1, wherein the upper template is provided with multiple die holes arranged at interval, and each die hole corresponds to the tightening cylinder, the top plate, the rotating shaft, the hand wheel and the transverse support rod.

6. The tool for clamping using end surfaces of workpieces according to claim 2, wherein a shallow groove is formed between two ends of the transverse support rod.

7. The tool for clamping using end surfaces of workpieces according to claim 2, wherein the tightening cylinder is provided with three parallel piston rods, the three piston rods are connected together through a connecting block, and the top plate is hinged with the upper surface of the connecting block.

8. The tool for clamping using end surfaces of workpieces according to claim 2, wherein the upper template is provided with multiple die holes arranged at interval, and each die hole corresponds to the tightening cylinder, the top plate, the rotating shaft, the hand wheel and the transverse support rod.
