Description

本発明は、クランプ装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a clamping device.

従来、シリンダ本体に設けたシリンダ室にピストンを軸方向移動可能に嵌装し、そのピストンに連結したピストンロッドをシリンダ本体の一端部から突出させ、シリンダ本体の給排路から一方のシリンダ室に圧流体を供給すると共に他方のシリンダ室から圧流体を排出することでピストンを移動させ、ピストンロッドに設けたクランパがワークに対してクランプ、アンクランプするようにしたクランプ装置は多数提案されている。
ところで、上記クランプ装置を複数設置した治具を用いて大きなワーク等をクランプする場合には、圧流体の供給源から各クランプ装置までの距離が異なることで、一定時間における各クランプ装置に供給される圧流体の供給流量が異なり各クランプ装置によるクランプのタイミングにばらつきが生じる。そのため、ワークを加工するまでの時間が長くなったり、クランプしていない箇所に外力が加わった時にワークがずれる等の問題があるので、一定時間における各クランプ装置でシリンダ室に供給する圧流体の供給流量を調整しなければならない。また、治具を小型化とするためにはクランプ装置も小型化とする必要があった。
Conventionally, a piston is fitted in a cylinder chamber provided in the cylinder body so as to be movable in the axial direction, and a piston rod connected to the piston is protruded from one end of the cylinder body, and is then supplied from the supply / discharge passage of the cylinder body to one cylinder chamber. Many clamping devices have been proposed in which a piston is moved by supplying pressurized fluid and discharging the pressurized fluid from the other cylinder chamber, and a clamper provided on the piston rod clamps and unclamps the workpiece. .
By the way, when clamping a large workpiece or the like using a jig having a plurality of the clamping devices, the distance from the pressurized fluid supply source to each clamping device is different, so that it is supplied to each clamping device for a certain time. The supply flow rate of the pressurized fluid differs, and the clamping timing of each clamping device varies. For this reason, there is a problem that the time until the workpiece is processed becomes long or the workpiece is displaced when an external force is applied to an unclamped location. The supply flow must be adjusted. Further, in order to reduce the size of the jig, it is necessary to reduce the size of the clamp device.

そこで、特許文献1のクランプ装置のように、クランプ本体内に設けた油圧シリンダの油室に接続された油路に流量調整弁を備え、流量調整弁により油圧の流量を調整するものが知られている。その流量調整弁は、クランプ本体の装着穴に螺着された筒状の弁ケースに弁部材が前後移動可能に装着され、その弁部材の弁体部を油路の途中部に形成され前記装着穴の前端に連なる弁孔に前後摺動自在に挿入して構成されている。よって、弁部材を前後に移動させると、弁部材の弁体部と弁孔との間の隙間の大きさが変化してその間を流れる油圧の流量が調整されるようになっている。また、弁部材には弁体部と弁孔との隙間をバイパスするバイパス流路と、バイパス流路を油室に油圧を供給する方向にのみ閉止する逆止弁が備えられている。

Therefore, as in the clamp device of Patent Document 1, there is known a device that includes a flow rate adjusting valve in an oil passage connected to an oil chamber of a hydraulic cylinder provided in the clamp body, and adjusts the hydraulic flow rate by the flow rate adjusting valve. ing. The flow regulating valve is mounted on a cylindrical valve case screwed into a mounting hole of the clamp body so that the valve member can be moved back and forth, and the valve body of the valve member is formed in the middle of the oil passage. It is configured to be slidably inserted back and forth into a valve hole connected to the front end of the hole. Therefore, when the valve member is moved back and forth, the size of the gap between the valve body portion of the valve member and the valve hole is changed, and the flow rate of the hydraulic pressure flowing therebetween is adjusted. Further, the valve member is provided with a bypass flow path that bypasses the gap between the valve body portion and the valve hole, and a check valve that closes the bypass flow path only in the direction of supplying hydraulic pressure to the oil chamber.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-360718

上記のクランプ装置に備えた流量調整弁は、油路の途中部に形成した弁孔に弁ケースに装着した弁部材の弁体部を挿入し、弁体部と弁孔との間に隙間を形成するものである。また、弁部材には逆止弁が備えられている。従って、クランプ本体の装着穴に螺着された弁ケースに弁部材を装着した時に、目視出来ないクランプ本体内の弁孔に弁体部を挿入させるので、弁部材の組付けに時間がかかるおそれがあった。また、弁体部と弁孔の加工精度によって隙間の大きさが異なるので、各クランプ装置で隙間の大きさを確認しなければならない煩わしさがあった。また、弁部材の内部に逆止弁を備えるために、弁部材の鋼球収容孔に鋼球とばね部材を挿入した後、弁部材の弁体部をかしめることで、前記鋼球やばね部材の交換時には弁部材全体を交換する必要があり、交換部品が高価なクランプ装置となるおそれがあった。また、メンテナンス時に、弁部材を後方に移動させ過ぎた状態で油室から油圧を排出したり清掃等を行っていると、弁ケースから弁部材が脱落して紛失するおそれがあった。
そこで本発明の課題は、上記問題点に鑑み、弁孔と弁体との間の隙間の大きさを各クランプ装置で確認する必要がなく、交換部品が安価なクランプ装置を提供することを目的とする。

A plurality of (four) first communication holes 34 are provided in the small diameter portion 29 b of the valve member 29 so as to communicate with the valve body mounting hole 30.
The valve body 31 includes a mounting member 35 that is screwed to the outside of the valve body mounting hole 30 and a valve body member 36 that is fitted into the valve body mounting hole 30 on the cylinder chamber 5 side. A seal member 37 is attached to the valve body member 36. The valve body member 36 is provided with a through hole 38 penetrating in the axial direction. A portion of the through hole 38 on the cylinder chamber 5 side is formed in a small check valve hole 39, and an outer portion is formed in a large diameter storage hole 40. A check valve body 41 (for example, a steel ball) is inserted into the storage hole 40. A check spring 42 is interposed between the mounting member 35 and the steel ball 41, and the check valve hole 39 is closed by the steel ball 41 urged by the spring 42. The valve body member 36 of the valve body 31 is provided with a plurality (four) of second communication holes 43 so as to communicate with the storage hole 40. The valve body member 36 of the valve body 31 is provided with an adjustment valve portion 44 that is inserted into the valve hole 32 of the valve member 29. A retaining member 45 (for example, a C-shaped retaining ring) is attached to the tip of the adjustment valve portion 44. The mounting member 35 of the valve body 31 is provided with a hexagon hole 46 for engaging a tool such as a hexagon wrench.

上記構成の流量調整弁27では、外側の給排路22aから圧流体(圧油)が供給される場合、図6に示すように、弁装着穴26、弁部材29の第1連通孔34、弁体装着孔30、弁体31の第2連通孔43を介して弁体31の収納孔40へ流れ込むと共に、弁体装着孔30から弁孔32と調整弁部44との間の隙間Sに流れ込むようになっている。鋼球41によって逆止弁孔39が塞がれているので、圧流体(圧油)は弁孔32と調整弁部44の間の隙間Sのみを通過することになる。一方、シリンダ室5側の給排路22bから圧流体(圧油)が排出される場合、図8に示すように、弁体31の逆止弁孔39へ流れ込むと共に、弁孔32と調整弁孔44との間の隙間Sに流れ込むようになっている。逆止弁孔39に流れる圧流体(圧油)により鋼球41が装着部材35に向かって押圧され、逆止弁孔39を開放することで逆止弁孔39から収納孔40を通過して弁体31の第2連通孔43から弁体装着孔30に流れ、弁孔32と調整弁部44との間の隙間Sを通過してきた圧流体(圧油)と共に、弁部材29の第1連通孔34、弁装着穴26を介して外側の給排路22aに流れるようになっている。従って、弁体31を前後方向に移動させ、弁孔32と調整弁部44との間の隙間Sの大きさを調整することで、外側の給排路22aからシリンダ室5側の給排路22bに供給される圧流体(圧油)の流量が調整されるようになっている。   When the pressurized fluid (pressure oil) is supplied from the outer supply / discharge passage 22a in the flow rate adjustment valve 27 having the above-described configuration, as shown in FIG. 6, the valve mounting hole 26, the first communication hole 34 of the valve member 29, It flows into the storage hole 40 of the valve body 31 through the valve body mounting hole 30 and the second communication hole 43 of the valve body 31, and also into the clearance S between the valve body mounting hole 30 and the valve hole 32 and the adjustment valve portion 44. It comes to flow. Since the check valve hole 39 is closed by the steel ball 41, the pressurized fluid (pressure oil) passes only through the gap S between the valve hole 32 and the adjustment valve portion 44. On the other hand, when the pressurized fluid (pressure oil) is discharged from the supply / discharge passage 22b on the cylinder chamber 5 side, as shown in FIG. 8, it flows into the check valve hole 39 of the valve body 31, and the valve hole 32 and the regulating valve. It flows into the gap S between the holes 44. The steel ball 41 is pressed toward the mounting member 35 by the pressurized fluid (pressure oil) flowing through the check valve hole 39, and the check valve hole 39 is opened to pass through the storage hole 40 from the check valve hole 39. Along with the pressurized fluid (pressure oil) that flows from the second communication hole 43 of the valve body 31 to the valve body mounting hole 30 and passes through the gap S between the valve hole 32 and the adjustment valve portion 44, the first of the valve member 29. It flows through the communication hole 34 and the valve mounting hole 26 to the outer supply / discharge path 22a. Therefore, by moving the valve body 31 in the front-rear direction and adjusting the size of the gap S between the valve hole 32 and the adjustment valve portion 44, the supply / discharge path on the cylinder chamber 5 side from the outer supply / discharge path 22a. The flow rate of the pressurized fluid (pressure oil) supplied to 22b is adjusted.

次に、上記構成のクランプ装置1の動作について説明する。図2に示すようなクランパ11がアンクランプ位置Bの状態において、他方の給排路22から流量調整弁27、流体通路25を介してロッド側シリンダ室8に圧流体(圧油)が供給されると、ピストン6が軸線下方に移動すると共に、ピン部材16に係合した旋回用案内溝13に沿ってピストンロッド10が軸線下方に移動しつつ90度旋回し、その後、その旋回位置を保ってワークWに向けて降下してクランプ位置Aでクランパ11がワークWをクランプするようになっている。また、図1に示すようなクランパ11がクランプ位置Aの状態において、一方の給排路21から流体通路23、連通路24を介してヘッド側シリンダ室7に圧流体(圧油)が供給されると、ピストン6が軸線上方に移動すると共に、ピストンロッド10が前記と逆に動作することで、クランパ11がアンクランプ位置Bの状態となる。   Next, operation | movement of the clamp apparatus 1 of the said structure is demonstrated. When the clamper 11 is in the unclamping position B as shown in FIG. 2, pressurized fluid (pressure oil) is supplied from the other supply / discharge passage 22 to the rod side cylinder chamber 8 through the flow rate adjustment valve 27 and the fluid passage 25. As a result, the piston 6 moves downward along the axis, and the piston rod 10 turns 90 degrees while moving downward along the axis along the turning guide groove 13 engaged with the pin member 16, and then maintains the turning position. The clamper 11 is lowered toward the workpiece W and the clamper 11 clamps the workpiece W at the clamp position A. Further, when the clamper 11 is in the clamp position A as shown in FIG. 1, pressurized fluid (pressure oil) is supplied from one supply / discharge passage 21 to the head side cylinder chamber 7 via the fluid passage 23 and the communication passage 24. Then, the piston 6 moves upward along the axis, and the piston rod 10 operates in the reverse direction to that described above, so that the clamper 11 is in the unclamping position B.

従って、図9のような、クランプ装置1を複数設置した治具60を用いて大きなワークW1をクランプする場合には、各クランプ装置1A〜1Fに備えた流量調整弁27によりロッド側シリンダ室8に供給する圧流体(圧油)の供給流量を調整することで、圧流体(圧油)の供給源61から各クランプ装置1A〜1Fまでの距離が異なっても各クランプ装置1A〜1Fによるクランプのタイミングを同時とすることが容易に行なえる。また、シリンダ本体2に装着する弁部材29に設けた弁孔32に弁体31の調整弁部44を挿入させると圧流体(圧油)の流量を調整する隙間Sが設けられることで、シリンダ本体2に弁部材29を装着しなくても弁孔32と調整弁部44による隙間Sの大きさを確認することが出来るために、各クランプ装置1で前記隙間Sの大きさを統一させることができる。また、弁孔32を貫通した弁体31の調整弁部44の先端に抜け止め部材45を備えたことで、図10のように、メンテナンス時に、シリンダ室8から圧流体(圧油)を排出したり清掃等を行っても、弁体31が弁部材29から脱落することがなく紛失することを防止できる。更に、弁体31に設けた貫通孔38の収納孔40に鋼球41と逆止ばね42を挿入し、前記貫通孔38の一方を装着部材35で塞ぐようにしたことで、逆止ばね42や鋼球41の交換が容易に行えるから、従来に比べて、交換部品を安価とすることができる。   Accordingly, when a large workpiece W1 is clamped using a jig 60 having a plurality of clamping devices 1 as shown in FIG. 9, the rod side cylinder chamber 8 is controlled by the flow rate adjusting valve 27 provided in each of the clamping devices 1A to 1F. By adjusting the supply flow rate of the pressurized fluid (pressure oil) supplied to the clamp, even if the distance from the supply source 61 of the pressurized fluid (pressure oil) to each of the clamp devices 1A to 1F differs, the clamps by the clamp devices 1A to 1F It is easy to make the timings at the same time. Further, when the adjusting valve portion 44 of the valve body 31 is inserted into the valve hole 32 provided in the valve member 29 attached to the cylinder body 2, a clearance S for adjusting the flow rate of the pressurized fluid (pressure oil) is provided, so that the cylinder Since the size of the gap S between the valve hole 32 and the adjusting valve portion 44 can be confirmed without mounting the valve member 29 on the main body 2, the size of the gap S should be unified in each clamping device 1. Can do. Further, by providing a retaining member 45 at the tip of the adjustment valve portion 44 of the valve body 31 that penetrates the valve hole 32, the pressurized fluid (pressure oil) is discharged from the cylinder chamber 8 during maintenance as shown in FIG. Even if the cleaning or the like is performed, it is possible to prevent the valve body 31 from being lost from the valve member 29 without dropping. Further, a steel ball 41 and a check spring 42 are inserted into the accommodation hole 40 of the through hole 38 provided in the valve body 31 so that one of the through holes 38 is closed by the mounting member 35, so that the check spring 42. Since the steel ball 41 can be easily replaced, the replacement parts can be made cheaper than in the past.
