The extended end of the piston rod of the balancing cylinder 4 or the oil cylinder is coaxially matched with the upper connecting shaft 3 through a bearing. The connecting shaft 3 is connected to the connecting plate 2 through a bearing, a spacer, and a locking nut. The lower end mounting seat 6 of the balancing cylinder 4 or the oil cylinder is connected to the linear rail slider 7. The electrical proportional valve 5 or the proportional servo valve is respectively connected to the balancing cylinder 4 and the system control end. This structure can well realize the extended end of the piston rod of the balancing cylinder 4 or the oil cylinder and the cradle turntable. The cradle turntable 1A axis rotates and moves in the same trajectory. The real-time torque value of the cradle turntable 1A axis driving motor can be read by the system in real time detection, and the phase angle Φ can be identified by the angle encoder. The real-time torque value of the cradle turntable 1A axis driving motor can be converted into the thrust of the balancing cylinder 4 or the extended end of the cylinder piston rod, that is, the balancing force value, through the algorithm.

[0035] The present invention can accurately balance the load moment of the rotating axis of the CNC cradle turntable 1 in real time, improve the dynamics and rotation accuracy of the CNC cradle turntable 1, while improving the bearing capacity and service life of the CNC cradle turntable 1 and improving the surface finish of the processed parts.

[0036] The present invention simply and effectively solves the problem of real-time trajectory tracking of the numerical control cradle turntable 1 rotating around the A axis.

[0037] The extended end of the piston rod of the balancing cylinder 4 or the oil cylinder is coaxially matched with the upper connecting shaft 3 through a bearing, and the connecting shaft 3 is connected to the connecting plate 2 through a bearing, a spacer, and a locking nut. The connecting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the end of the rotating shaft of the cradle turntable 1. The lower end mounting seat 6 of the balancing cylinder 4 or the oil cylinder is connected to the linear rail slider 7. This structure realizes horizontal movement through the vertical movement of the piston rod of the balancing cylinder 4 and the balancing cylinder 4 as a whole through the linear rail slider 7. Under the coupling of vertical and horizontal movements, the extended end of the piston rod of the balancing cylinder 4 or the oil cylinder can well realize the rotation of the cradle turntable 1A axis and the same track movement. This structure can accurately and effectively balance the cradle turntable 1A axis.

[0038] The present invention simply and effectively solves the difficult problem of real-time and accurate compensation of the rotation of the numerically controlled cradle turntable 1 around the A-axis.

In addition, the dynamics and rotation accuracy of the cradle turntable 1A axis are improved, and the present invention can effectively provide strong technical support for the research and development of high-precision machine tools.

[0040] The present invention has strong expansibility. If the accuracy of the CNC cradle turntable 1 is to be improved, a higher-precision encoder and an electric proportional valve 5 or a proportional servo valve can be selected to achieve a high balancing accuracy; if the load-bearing capacity of the CNC cradle turntable 1 is to be improved, a hydraulic cylinder with a larger diameter can be selected to replace the balancing cylinder 4 to obtain a larger balancing torque. The present invention can effectively improve the accuracy level of the CNC cradle turntable 1 or greatly improve its load-bearing capacity, providing effective technical support for the expansion of the CNC cradle turntable 1 series product spectrum in terms of accuracy and load-bearing.

[0041] It is also worth adding that:

[0042] The extended end of the piston rod of the balancing cylinder 4 or the oil cylinder is coaxially matched with the upper connecting shaft 3 through a bearing. The connecting shaft 3 is connected to the connecting plate 2 through a bearing, a spacer sleeve, and a locking nut. The connecting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the end of the rotating shaft of the cradle turntable 1. The lower end mounting seat 6 of the balancing cylinder 4 or the oil cylinder is connected to the linear rail slider 7. This structure realizes horizontal movement through the vertical movement of the piston rod of the balancing cylinder 4 and the overall horizontal movement of the balancing cylinder 4 through the linear rail slider 7. Under the coupling of vertical and horizontal movements, the extended end of the piston rod of the balancing cylinder 4 or the oil cylinder can well realize the rotation of the A axis of the cradle turntable 1 and perform co-trajectory movement.

[0043] When in use, the real-time torque value of the cradle turntable 1A axis driving motor can be read through real-time detection by the system, and the phase angle Φ can be identified by the angle encoder. The real-time torque value of the cradle turntable 1A axis driving motor can be converted into the thrust, i.e., the balancing force value, of the balancing cylinder 4 or the extended end of the oil cylinder piston rod through the algorithm. The thrust, i.e., the balancing force value to be output can be accurately provided to the balancing cylinder 4 or the extended end of the oil cylinder piston rod through the electrical proportional valve 5 or the proportional servo valve, thereby realizing real-time and precise balancing of the CNC cradle turntable 1.

[0044] Specifically, the outer circumference of the end of the rotating shaft of the cradle turntable 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 2, and a lower connecting shaft 3 is provided on the connecting plate 2. The protruding end of the piston rod of the balancing cylinder 4 or the oil cylinder is coaxially matched with the upper connecting shaft 3 through a bearing. The connecting shaft 3 is connected to the connecting plate 2 through a bearing, a spacer and a locking nut. The lower end mounting seat 6 of the balancing cylinder 4 or the oil cylinder is connected to the linear rail slider 7. The vertical movement of the piston rod of the balancing cylinder 4 and the horizontal movement of the balancing cylinder 4 as a whole are realized through the linear rail slider 7. Under the coupling of vertical and horizontal movements, the protruding end of the piston rod of the balancing cylinder 4 or the oil cylinder can well realize the rotation of the axis A of the cradle turntable 1 and perform the same trajectory movement. The electrical proportional valve 5 or the proportional servo valve is respectively connected to the balancing cylinder 4 and the system control end. The real-time torque value T of the A-axis driving motor of the cradle turntable 1 can be read through real-time detection by the system, and the phase angle Φ can be identified by the angle encoder. The real-time torque value T of the A-axis driving motor of the cradle turntable 1 can be converted into the thrust of the balancing cylinder 4 or the extended end of the oil cylinder piston rod, that is, the balancing force value F, through algorithms such as T=F lsi nΦ. The thrust that needs to be output, that is, the balancing force value F, is accurately provided to the balancing cylinder 4 or the extended end of the oil cylinder piston rod through the electrical proportional valve 5 or the proportional servo valve, thereby realizing real-time and precise balancing of the CNC cradle turntable 1.
