[0028] To make the purpose, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0029] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0030] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0031] The present application will be described below with reference to specific embodiments:
[0032] As shown in the figure, a tap indexing shaft sliding module assembly is divided into three parts: a tap positioning indexing shaft clamping module 100, a rear fixed center 200, and a sliding module 300.
[0033] The bottom of the tap positioning indexing shaft clamping module 100 is mounted on the sliding module 300 for moving back and forth in the horizontal direction.
[0034] Specifically, the tap positioning indexing shaft clamping module 100 is fixed to the sliding module panel 301 by a nut, and moves horizontally together with the sliding module panel 301 fixed by the nut.
[0035] The rear fixed tip 200 is fixed to the sliding module 300. Specifically, a rear positioning bracket 210 is provided on the sliding module 300, distributed at both ends of the sliding module 300 along with the sliding module panel 301. The rear positioning bracket 210 is fixed to the sliding module 300, and a positioning bracket adjustment block 211 is provided on the top of the rear positioning bracket 210, allowing for selection of a suitable height by replacement. A positioning bracket adjustment screw 212 is provided on the surface of the tap positioning indexing shaft clamping module 100 of the positioning bracket adjustment block 211, which allows for fine adjustment of the positioning bracket adjustment block 211 in the horizontal direction. The positioning bracket adjustment block 211 is fixed to the entire rear positioning bracket 210 by the positioning bracket adjustment screw 212.
[0036] The rear fixed tip 200 passes through the top of the positioning bracket adjustment block 211. The positioning bracket adjustment block 211 is provided with tip adjustment screws 201, which are used to adjust the position of the rear fixed tip 200 in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively. This adjustment is generally used for fine-tuning to improve the accuracy in the machining process.
[0037] The rear fixed center 200 is a non-rotating wear-resistant center. Its length and position can be adjusted by the center adjusting screw 201 according to different workpieces and grinding wheel sizes.
[0038] Under normal working conditions, the central axis of the tap positioning and indexing shaft clamping module 100 and the central axis of the rear fixed center 200 are on the same straight line. The tap positioning and indexing shaft clamping module 100 is used to clamp the workpiece and move towards the rear fixed center 200 to achieve the purpose of fixing the workpiece.
[0039] The tap positioning and indexing shaft clamping module 100 in this application includes a positioning and indexing shaft 110, a clamping mechanism 120, a tap indexing center extension rod 130, and a tap indexing center 140.
[0040] The positioning indexing shaft 110 is coaxially connected to the clamping mechanism 120. The tap indexing tip extension rod 130 is fixed to the front end of the clamping mechanism 120, and the tap indexing tip 140 is installed on the free end of the tap indexing tip extension rod 130 by welding or screwing, and is made of cemented carbide or diamond.
[0041] The main function of the tap indexing center extension rod 130 is to measure the coaxiality during installation using a micrometer scale. The accuracy can be adjusted to 0.001 mm via the screws on the side, achieving even higher precision at the center. The tap indexing center 140 can be replaced without damaging the extension rod and base through methods such as unsoldering. After replacement and adjustment to coaxiality, it can be dressed and ground online to achieve the same high precision as the mounting spindle.
[0042] As a specific embodiment, the positioning indexing shaft 110 includes a rotating spindle 111, a main bearing 112, a direct-drive DD motor servo motor stator 113, a motor rotor 114, and a flange 115 located inside the housing 117. The direct-drive DD motor servo motor stator 113 is connected to one end of the main bearing 112, and the other end of the main bearing 112 is connected to the rotating spindle 111. The motor rotor 114 is installed inside the side wall of the direct-drive DD motor servo motor stator 113, and a high-precision encoder 116 is provided at the end of the motor rotor 114. An oil seal 118 is provided at the front end of the positioning indexing shaft 110 to ensure internal airtightness.
[0043] The front end of the rotating spindle 111 is fixed to the clamping mechanism by adjusting nut 129. The end of the positioning indexing shaft 110 is provided with an air guide rotary joint 119, as shown in the figure. An air passage is formed inside the positioning indexing shaft 110, and its outlet faces the clamping mechanism. Specifically, it is located on the chuck body, facing the rear end of the piston 121. The entire tap positioning indexing shaft clamping module 100 rotates continuously under the action of the stator rotor.
[0044] The clamping mechanism 120 includes a chuck seat body 122, a limiting pin 123, and a piston 121. An end cap 124 is provided at the front end of the chuck seat body 122. A chamber is formed between the chuck seat body 122 and the end cap 124 for housing a piston 121 that can move back and forth. A spring 125 is provided at the front end of the piston 121, and an air passage is connected to its rear end. This air passage communicates with an air path formed inside the positioning indexing shaft. A chuck 126 is connected to the inner wall of the piston 121, and they move back and forth together. Under the action of the spring 125 (not shown in the figure, only the area where the spring is located is shown), the piston 121 can achieve controllable back and forth movement under the pressure within the control air passage A. A limiting pin 123 is provided on the end cap 124 to control the direction of movement of the chuck 126, preventing the chuck 126 from moving circumferentially, so that the chuck 126 can only move back and forth in the horizontal direction.
[0045] As a specific embodiment, the sliding module 300 includes a sliding module panel 301, a sliding module main board 302, an adjusting pressure bar 303, an adjusting screw 304, and a fixing block 305.
[0046] The top surface of the sliding module panel 301 is fixed with a nut to the tap positioning indexing shaft clamping module 100. The sliding module panel 301 is located on the top surface of the sliding module main board 302, and protrusions 306 are provided on both sides of the sliding module panel 301. An adjusting pressure strip 303 is provided between the protrusions 306 and the sliding module main board 302. Under normal conditions, the adjusting pressure strip 303 is fixedly connected to the sliding module main board 302. An adjusting screw 304 is provided on the protrusion 306 for adjusting the gap between it and the adjusting pressure strip 303.
[0047] The sliding module adjusting screw 304, as the main adjusting structure, can precisely control and adjust the fit between the sliding module panel 301 and the sliding module main board 302. If the grinding fit between the sliding module panel 301 and the sliding module main board 302 is not good, and the sliding module main board 302 is ground too small, it will be locked and the sliding module panel 301 will not move. If the allowance is too large, there will be a gap between the sliding module panel 301 and the sliding module main board 302, resulting in a lack of precision. In this case, the sliding module adjusting screw 304 can achieve a state of both movement and precision through fine adjustment.
[0048] A fixing block 305 is provided between the sliding module panel 301 and the sliding module main board 302, forming a sealed chamber between the fixing block 305, the sliding module panel 301, the sliding module main board 302, and the adjusting pressure strip 303. Internally, since the fixing block 305 connects to the oil inlet pipe 307, the oil pressure inside the chamber increases after oil is supplied through the oil inlet pipe 307, causing the sliding module panel 301 to slide on the sliding module main board 302. The surface finish of the sliding module panel 301 and the sliding module main board 302 exceeds 0.05 μm, and an oil film is formed after oil is supplied through the oil inlet pipe 307, creating a seal.
[0049] Meanwhile, an oil outlet pipe 308 is provided on the sliding module panel 301 to control the oil pressure in the chamber and facilitate the sliding module panel 301 to return to its rearward position. The entire sealed chamber supplies oil to the sliding module panel 301 and the sliding module main board 302 through oil pressure. There is no leakage in the sealed chamber, which creates internal pressure, causing the sliding module panel 301 and the sliding module main board 302 to float together, reducing friction.
[0050] In this embodiment, after surface finishing, the surface smoothness of the sliding module panel 301 and the sliding module main board 302 reaches 0.05μm, ensuring that the generated oil film will not leak, thus achieving a mechanical sealing effect. Simultaneously, sealing plates 309 are provided on the front and rear sides of the sliding module panel 301. These sealing plates 309 have an L-shaped structure to limit the forward and backward movement distance of the sliding module panel 301.
[0051] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
[0052] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various equivalent transformations (such as quantity, shape, position, etc.) can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these equivalent transformations are all protected by the present invention.
