Abstract:
1. A chuck device adapted to connect with a driving device, said chuck device comprising: a mounting member having an accommodating hole centered at an axis; a fixed seat disposed within said accommodating hole and having an annular portion formed with an axial hole centered at the axis; a bearing unit disposed within said axial hole in said fixed member; a connecting member including a rear sleeve extending rotatably through said bearing unit along the axis, and a ring piece extending from a front end of said rear sleeve and having a tapered inner surface; a transmission member sleeved on and covering said ring piece and adapted to be driven by the driving device to rotate about the axis; a pressure cylinder unit including a driving sleeve disposed in said connecting member and adjacent to said tapered inner surface, and a driving ring disposed within said ring piece and movable relative to said driving sleeve, said driving sleeve and said driving ring being movable toward and away from each other along the axis, said driving ring cooperating with said ring piece and said driving sleeve to define a first oil chamber, said driving sleeve cooperating with said tapered inner surface to define a second oil chamber, said driving ring cooperating with said transmission member to define a third oil chamber; an inner positioning unit including an inner cap covering a front end of said ring piece, and an outer cap covering said inner cap and said front end of said ring piece; an oil path unit including a first oil hole formed in said outer cap, a second oil hole formed in said outer cap, a first oil passage formed in said ring piece and in fluid communication with said first oil chamber, a second oil passage formed in said inner cap and in fluid communication with said first oil passage and said first oil hole, a third oil passage formed in said ring piece and in fluid communication with said second and third oil chambers, and a fourth oil passage formed in said inner cap and in fluid communication with said second oil hole and said third oil passage; a front chuck unit including a front cap disposed on said transmission member and having a tapered front chuck hole, a front collet disposed in said front chuck hole, and a front connecting tube connected between said front collet and said driving ring; and a rear chuck unit including a rear cap disposed on said rear sleeve and having a tapered rear chuck hole, a rear collet disposed in said rear chuck hole, and a connecting mechanism disposed in said rear sleeve and connected between said driving sleeve and said rear collet; wherein each of said front and rear collets is movable relative to a corresponding one of said front and rear caps between a release position, where oil flows into said first oil chamber through said first oil hole to move said driving ring and said driving sleeve away from each other to thereby drive movement of said front connecting tube and said connecting mechanism in opposite directions so as to remove said front and rear collets from said front and rear caps, respectively, and a clamping position, where oil flows into said second and third oil chambers through said second oil hole to move said driving ring and said driving sleeve toward each other to thereby drive movement of said front connecting tube and said connecting mechanism toward each other so as to engage said front and rear collets with said front and rear caps, respectively.
