Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of numerical control turntables, in particular to a zero point positioning device for turntables. Background Art
[0002] The emergence of intelligent industrial automation is heralding a revolutionary transformation in the manufacturing industry. Traditional manufacturing typically relies on extensive human input, resulting in low efficiency, high costs, and difficulty in ensuring quality during production. Intelligent industrial automation, however, integrates advanced technologies into the production process, enabling intelligent and automated production lines. The widespread use of equipment such as robots, drones, and intelligent warehousing systems has made production processes more efficient, flexible, and precise, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality. CNC turntables are core components of CNC machine tools. The rapid exchange of worktables on these turntables enables intelligent and automated production lines, improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.
[0003] However, the existing CNC turntables have the following technical problems:
[0004] 1. Currently, the rivet-type system is widely used in CNC turntable zero-point positioning systems. This allows the worktable to be removed at will without pressure. Both clamping and loosening of the rivet require hydraulic pressure, and clamping is easily affected by pressure fluctuations, resulting in a difficulty maintaining the clamping force for a long time.
[0005] 2. On the other hand, the pull-stud structure used in the zero-point positioning system only has a cleaning air blow port at the top. Debris can easily accumulate at the root, causing wear of the positioning sleeve. At the same time, the pull-stud is used to tighten the positioning sleeve. Once iron chips enter the interior, they need to be removed by professionals. If they are not cleaned in time, it will cause inaccurate positioning and even damage the internal four-petal claws. The installation is complicated and the client cannot replace and install it by themselves. It needs to be installed by professionals, which is more expensive and difficult to repair.
[0006] Therefore, a zero-point positioning device for a turntable is needed that can solve the above-mentioned problem. Utility Model Content

Figures 1 to 8 The zero-point positioning device for a turntable shown in the figure includes a CNC turntable 1 and a workbench 2, wherein the workbench 2 is mounted on the CNC turntable 1; a straight guide sleeve male 3 and a tapered guide sleeve male 16 are mounted on the CNC turntable 1, and a straight guide sleeve nut 15 and a tapered guide sleeve nut 17 are mounted on the workbench 2, wherein the straight guide sleeve nut 15 is mated with the straight guide sleeve male 3, and the tapered guide sleeve nut 17 is mated with the tapered guide sleeve male 16.
[0046] The utility model provides a guide sleeve oil inlet hole B21 on the CNC turntable 1, and a guide sleeve pressure switch A22 is installed on the guide sleeve oil inlet hole B21. The guide sleeve pressure switch A22 is used to detect whether the straight guide sleeve male 3 and the tapered guide sleeve male 16 are loose; an air source inlet 19 is provided on the CNC turntable 1, and an air tightness detection switch A18 is installed at the air source inlet 19. The CNC turntable 1 is also provided with a cleaning air blowing hole 20. The cleaning air blowing hole 20 is used to clean the straight guide sleeve male 3 and the tapered guide sleeve male 16.
[0047] The utility model is provided with a dust cover 14 on the straight guide sleeve male 3, a clean air blowing port A4 is provided on the dust cover 14, a piston rod 9 is provided inside the straight guide sleeve male 3, steel balls 13 are provided on both sides of the piston rod 9, springs 10 are provided on the left and right sides of the piston rod 9, a clean air outlet 5, an air inlet A6 and a guide sleeve oil inlet A7 are provided in the straight guide sleeve male 3, air can be introduced through the air inlet A6 to clean impurities around the straight guide sleeve male 3, a bolt 8 is installed in the guide sleeve oil inlet A7, the bolt 8 and the piston rod 9 are connected to each other, when the guide sleeve oil inlet A7 is opened, the clean air outlet 5, the air inlet A6 and the guide sleeve oil inlet A7 are opened, the clean air outlet 5, the air inlet A6 and the guide sleeve oil inlet A7 are opened, the clean air outlet 5, the air inlet A6 and the guide sleeve oil inlet A7 are opened, the clean air can be cleaned by the clean air 7 enters the hydraulic source, compressing the piston rod 9 connected by the bolt 8 and applying pressure to the spring 10. The utility model has a groove 91 on the piston rod 9. When the piston rod 9 moves upward, the steel ball 13 can freely enter the groove 91 on the piston rod 9, so that the workbench 2 can freely separate from the CNC turntable 1. When the hydraulic source of the guide sleeve into the oil hole A7 is disconnected, the spring 10 returns to its original state and the steel ball 13 returns to its original position. The elastic force of the spring 10 forces the edge of the groove 91 of the piston rod 9 to clamp the steel ball 13 to achieve locking. When the workbench 2 is on the CNC turntable 1, the workbench 2 is in a locked state. When the workbench 2 is in the locked state, the air source inlet 19 starts to connect to the air pressure source 23, and the airtightness detection switch A18 is used to set the rated pressure value. The upper computer is connected for communication. The upper computer sets a certain communication time (usually 3 to 5 seconds). If the airtightness detection switch A18 does not alarm during this period, it is assumed that the workbench 2 and the CNC turntable 1 are completely attached and locked. When the workbench 2 is in the loosened state, the air pressure source 23 enters the cleaning air port A4 and the cleaning air outlet 5 through the air inlet A6 to achieve cleaning work.
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the utility model is equipped with a base 101 on the CNC turntable 1, the straight guide sleeve male 3 and the base 101 are connected to each other by a spring 10, a cleaning air blow port B25 is provided on the base 101, the base 101 is connected to the hydraulic oil inlet pipe 26, and a guide sleeve pressure switch B27 is installed on the hydraulic oil inlet pipe 26. The base 101 in the utility model is also connected to the air inlet pipe, and an airtightness detection switch B24 is installed on the air inlet pipe for measuring whether the workbench 2 and the CNC turntable 1 are indeed fitted together.
[0049] In summary, the present invention achieves both free disengagement and locking between the worktable 2 and the CNC turntable 1 by adding a straight guide sleeve male 3 and a tapered guide sleeve male 16 to the CNC turntable 1, and a straight guide sleeve female 15 and a tapered guide sleeve female 17 to the worktable 2. Furthermore, by coordinating the various functions of the guide sleeves, the worktable 2 and the CNC turntable 1 are integrated. This solves the problem of poor precision caused by the frequent disassembly and inspection of specific workpieces and fixtures.
[0050] Working Principle: The zero-point positioning device for the CNC turntable 1 in the present invention comprises two groups of four positioning sleeves, one of which is a straight guide sleeve, whose function is to guide the position between the worktable 2 and the turntable body. The other group is a tapered guide sleeve, whose function is to position the worktable 2 and the turntable body. Both groups are equipped with components such as a spring 10, a steel ball 13, a dust cover 14, a cleaning air blow path, an airtightness detection air path, and a loosening oil path. The spring 10 is compressed by the action of external hydraulic pressure, allowing the steel ball 13 to freely expand and contract, allowing the worktable 2 and the turntable body to be freely disassembled. The cleaning air blow path can be used to clean surrounding impurities and ensure that the area around the positioning sleeve is clean. After the hydraulic pressure is disconnected, the spring 10 resumes its action, and the position of the steel ball 13 remains fixed, so that the worktable 2 and the turntable body are clamped together by the elastic force of the spring 10 through the external tension of the steel ball 13. The airtightness detection air path is used for ventilation, and it can be detected whether the positioning sleeve is fully clamped. The loosening action of the positioning sleeve achieves the function of separating and locking the CNC turntable 1 body and the worktable 2. .
