Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electric spark machining machine tools, in particular to a power feeding device for an electric spark machining machine tool turntable arranged in a center hole of a turntable main shaft. Background Art

[0002] Electromachining is a machining method that utilizes the discharge corrosion effect between the electrode and the workpiece, and generally uses a high-frequency pulse circuit for discharge. Existing EDM machines are usually three-axis linear motion operations. Of the two electrode wires led out from the control cabinet, one is connected to the spindle head that clamps the electrode, and the other is connected to the workpiece or the metal magnetic suction table where the workpiece is placed. The defect of this type of EDM machine is that the workbench used to mount the workpiece is a fixed workbench and cannot drive the workpiece to rotate. An additional rotating turntable is required, and the connection and conductivity between the machining power supply and the machine tool in the turntable spindle has become a problem that needs to be solved.

[0003] On November 18, 2015, Chinese patent CN204771005U announced the authorization of a utility model patent with patent number "201520423125.5" and title "Electrical discharge machining machine with rotary table" (hereinafter referred to as "reference document 1"), see the attachment of reference document 1. Figure 1 , Comparative Document 1 has a conductive ring 16 installed on the chuck side (the side connected to the chuck) of the insulating disk 4, and a connecting wire 5 is provided between the conductive ring and the chuck, and the electrical connection between the two is achieved through the wire. The conductive ring is provided with a carbon brush device, and the carbon brush device is provided with a carbon brush 15, and the outer end face of the carbon brush is in contact with the disk surface of the conductive ring, so that the outer end face of the carbon brush always keeps in contact with the disk surface of the conductive ring during the rotation of the conductive ring with the turntable, thereby forming a circuit in which the electrode wire, carbon brush, conductive ring, chuck and workpiece are connected in sequence. After analysis and research, this scheme is used for feeding the rotary table of electrolytic machining machine tools, suitable for feeding kiloamperes of large current, and the structure is very large, which is not very suitable for feeding the rotary table of small and medium current electrolytic machining machine tools.

[0004] On October 1, 2019, Chinese patent CN110293271A published an invention patent with application number 201910617893.7 and patent name "Conductive shaft device for large horizontal CNC electrolytic machining machine tool" (hereinafter referred to as "reference document 2"), see the attachment of reference document 2. Figure 1 and attached Figure 4, the carbon brushes 7 in the comparative document 2 are radially arranged on the two end faces of the substrate 6, the ends of the carbon brushes 7 are in close contact with the conductive shaft body 5, the carbon brushes 7 pass through and are fixed in the carbon brush sleeve 21, the carbon brush holder 20 is obliquely installed on the substrate 6, and the carbon brush sleeve 21 and the carbon brush holder 20 are snap-fitted. The inventors have analyzed and found that although the structure of the comparative document 2 can realize the power feeding of the electric machining turntable, since the carbon brushes 7 are located on the outside of the conductive shaft body 5, during the electric machining process, due to the operation of the conductive shaft body 5 and the splashing of the working fluid, the conductive shaft body 5 and the carbon brushes 7 will be attached with corrosion, debris and other sundries, which will cause the problem of poor conductive contact. At the same time, the structure of this scheme is not compact, which is not conducive to the overall structural layout of the electric machining machine tool.

[0005] In view of this, how to solve the problems of poor contact between the carbon brush and the spindle and the overly bulky conductive structure of the carbon brush when the machining power supply of the turntable spindle is connected to the machine tool in the prior art has become the subject to be studied and solved by the present invention. Summary of the invention

[0011] A fixing hole is provided on at least one side of each of the carbon brush holes on the carbon brush shaft, and the fixing hole penetrates into the space where the adjusting member is located in the carbon brush hole. A fixing member is provided in the fixing hole, and the fixing member contacts the outer side surface of the side segment of the pressing sheet along the axial direction of the fixing hole. After tightening the fixing member, the side segment of the pressing sheet is pressed against the adjusting body to fix the adjusting body.

[0015] Furthermore, in order to correctly guide the forward displacement trend of the carbon brush head and prevent the carbon brush head from deviating after receiving the force of the deflected elastic part, because the deviation will cause the carbon brush head to rub against the inner hole of the turntable main shaft at an incorrect angle, causing abnormal wear and abnormal conductivity of the carbon brush head, a steel pipe is provided between the carbon brush head and the adjusting part, and the carbon brush hole has a limiting surface for limiting the steel pipe toward the opening direction of the carbon brush hole, the elastic part is installed in the steel pipe, and the deformation direction of the elastic part is guided forward in the axial direction of the steel pipe.

[0016] Furthermore, in order to make the carbon brush structure conduct electricity reliably and further enhance the power feeding capacity, the adjacent carbon brush holes are arranged at equal angles in the circumferential direction of the orthogonal projection of the carbon brush shaft. Preferably, the number of the carbon brush holes is three, and the angle between the orthogonal projections of the three carbon brush holes in the circumferential direction is 120°, and the carbon brush heads are located in different directions to contact the inner hole of the turntable main shaft.

[0017] Furthermore, in order to better fix the carbon brush shaft to the insulating gland, a through fixing hole is provided at the upper end of the carbon brush shaft and the lower end of the insulating gland, and a cylindrical pin is passed through the fixing hole to fasten the carbon brush shaft to the insulating gland.

[0019] The relevant contents of the present invention are explained as follows:

[0020] 1. In the description of this application, the direction setting in the carbon brush hole is that "forward, outward" refers to the direction of the opening on the side where the carbon brush head is installed, and "inward, inward" refers to the opposite direction of the opening on the side where the carbon brush head is installed;

[0021] 2. In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer" and the like indicating positions or positional relationships are based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific position, be constructed and operated in a specific position, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application;

[0022] 3. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the descriptions such as "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. are descriptions based on the orientation or position relationship of the "carbon brush shaft", "turntable spindle", and "fastening hole" as shown in the accompanying drawings;

[0023] 4. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of this application, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0024] Due to the application of the above scheme, the present invention has the following advantages and effects compared with the prior art:

[0025] 1. In the above scheme of the present invention, the carbon brush shaft is installed in the center hole of the turntable main shaft for use through the structural design of the carbon brush shaft, and a carbon brush head mechanism is arranged on the carbon brush shaft for power feeding, which does not need to occupy too much machine space, and fully utilizes the internal space of the turntable. A power feeding device is arranged in the center hole of the turntable main shaft to achieve good power feeding, avoid bloated machines, and reduce the inconvenience caused by redesigning the machine tool structure;

[0026] 2. In the above scheme of the present invention, a carbon brush mechanism with a laminated structure is arranged on the carbon brush shaft, so that the array of carbon brushes is evenly distributed in the axial lamination. This structure cleverly utilizes the axial space between the carbon brush shaft and the center hole of the turntable main shaft, and complements the center hole structure of the turntable main shaft, so that the carbon brush head with a laminated design and the inner hole of the center hole of the turntable main shaft can slide and fit evenly to conduct electricity, thereby avoiding insufficient power feeding, having good power feeding capacity, ensuring reliable power feeding, and realizing large current feeding;

[0027] 3. In the above scheme of the present invention, the carbon brush shaft is located in the installation space formed by the insulating gland, the liquid-proof ring and the turntable main shaft, so that the feeding device and the turntable body are insulated and sealed, and the working fluid and debris are prevented from entering the working environment of the feeding device, so that the carbon brush head is always kept clean and will not be contaminated by debris, and the carbon brush head is prevented from being contaminated by debris and the gap or pollution layer is generated on the contact surface when the turntable main shaft rotates, thereby avoiding poor conductive contact and ensuring that the carbon brush head and the turntable main shaft always maintain good power feeding;

[0028] 4. In the above scheme of the present invention, the adjusting member can be adjusted to be installed at the rear end of the carbon brush hole. In the working state, the carbon brush head and the inner hole of the turntable main shaft are always in a sliding friction state, and the end of the carbon brush head in contact with the turntable main shaft will be gradually shortened. The carbon brush head has a tendency to move toward the front of the carbon brush hole under the deformation of the elastic member, so that it maintains a long-term good power supply and reduces the adjustment and replacement cycle;

[0029] 5. At the same time, the structural setting of the adjusting body, pressing piece and fasteners adopted, after adjusting the distance of the carbon brush head, use the fastener to press the side section of the pressing piece tightly against one side of the adjusting body, so that the adjusting body is in a stable and firmly fastened state, while avoiding the loosening of the adjusting body, it can ensure that the electrical machining current passes through the carbon brush shaft → fastener → pressing piece → flexible conductive wire braid → carbon brush head → the inner hole of the turntable spindle. The power supply is reliable to avoid the occurrence of poor contact. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0054] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0055] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a feeding device for an electric machining machine turntable, which is used to feed power to a rotating turntable spindle 7, wherein the carbon brush shaft 1 is installed in the center hole of the turntable spindle 7 and is sealed with the turntable spindle 7, a liquid-proof ring 4 is provided at the bottom of the carbon brush shaft 1, the upper end of the carbon brush shaft 1 is fixedly connected to the insulating gland 3, and the upper end of the carbon brush shaft 1 is connected with a power feeder 5 after passing through the insulating gland 3, the carbon brush shaft 1 is located in an installation space formed by the insulating gland 3, the liquid-proof ring 4 and the turntable spindle 7, and the carbon brush shaft 1 and the turntable spindle 7 are located on the same axis; at least two carbon brush holes 11 are provided on the carbon brush shaft 1 and are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the carbon brush shaft 1, and each carbon brush hole 11 is in a stacked state in an upper and lower relationship, that is, the carbon brush holes 11 in an upper and lower position relationship are arranged layer by layer in the axial direction of the carbon brush shaft 1, and the space of the carbon brush shaft 1 and the turntable spindle 7 is fully utilized for the arrangement.

[0056] A carbon brush mechanism 2 is installed in the carbon brush hole 11, and the carbon brush mechanism 2 includes a carbon brush head 21, an elastic member 22, an adjusting member 23 and a flexible conductive wire braid 24. The adjusting member 23, the elastic member 22 and the carbon brush head 21 are installed in sequence along the opening direction of the carbon brush hole 11. The carbon brush head 21 extends a distance toward the front end of the opening direction of the carbon brush hole 11 and has an arc-shaped contact surface 211. The diameter of the arc-shaped contact surface 211 is the same as the diameter of the inner hole of the turntable spindle 7. The contact surface 211 is slidably matched with the inner hole of the turntable spindle 7. One end of the elastic member 22 is against the carbon brush head 21, and the other end is against the adjusting member 23. Under the deformation action of the elastic member 22 and the limiting action of the adjusting member 23, the carbon brush head 21 has a tendency to move toward the front end of the carbon brush hole 11, thereby ensuring that the contact surface of the carbon brush head 21 is tightly matched with the inner hole of the turntable spindle 7. The adjusting member 23 can be adjusted to be installed at the rear end of the carbon brush hole 11. In the working state, the carbon brush head 21 and the turntable main shaft 7 are always in a sliding friction state. The end of the carbon brush head 21 that contacts the inner hole of the turntable main shaft 7 will be gradually shortened. The carbon brush head 21 has a tendency to move toward the front of the carbon brush hole 11 under the deformation action of the elastic member 22, so that it maintains long-term good power supply and reduces the adjustment and replacement cycle.

[0057] In the above scheme, if Figures 8 to 11As shown, the adjusting member 23 includes an adjusting body 231 and a pressing plate 232, the pressing plate 232 has at least one pressing section 2321 and at least one side section 2322 connected to the pressing section 2321, the end face of the pressing section 2321 abuts against the end face of the adjusting body 231, the side section 2322 of the pressing plate 232 and the adjusting body 231 are separated from each other in the adjusting state and are pressed against each other in the tightening state, so that the adjustment of the adjusting body is more convenient and the tightening is more stable; at the same time, one end of the flexible conductive wire braid 24 is fixedly connected to the carbon brush head 21, and the other end is fixedly connected to the end face of the pressing section 2321, thereby increasing the good feeding performance.

[0058] In the above scheme, a fixing hole 12 is opened on at least one side of each of the carbon brush holes 11 on the carbon brush shaft 1, and the fixing hole 12 penetrates to the space where the adjusting member 23 is located in the carbon brush hole 11. A fixing member 121 is arranged in the fixing hole 12, and the fixing member 121 contacts the outer side surface of the side segment 2322 of the pressing sheet 232 along the axial direction of the fixing hole 12. After tightening the fixing member 121, the side segment 2322 of the pressing sheet 232 is pressed against the adjusting body 231 to fix the adjusting body 231. After tightening the fixing member 121, the fixing member 121 presses the side segment 2322 of the pressing sheet 232, so that the side segment 2322 of the pressing sheet 232 is tightly attached to the adjusting body 231, so that the position of the adjusting body 231 is fixed. Such a fixing method allows the adjusting body 231 to be fixed after adjustment and is convenient for adjustment and tightening.

[0059] Through the implementation of the embodiment of the present invention, the feeding device of the embodiment of the present invention uses the structural design of the carbon brush shaft 1 so that the carbon brush shaft 1 is installed in the center hole of the turntable main shaft 7 for use, and the carbon brush head 21 is installed in the carbon brush hole 11 of the laminated structure set on the carbon brush shaft 1. This structure cleverly uses the space between the carbon brush shaft 1 and the center hole of the turntable main shaft 7, so that the laminated carbon brush head 21 and the inner hole of the center hole of the turntable main shaft 7 can slide and fit evenly for conductivity, and the setting of the adjustment member 23 can make the entire carbon brush mechanism 2 reliably, firmly and adjustably fixed in the carbon brush hole 11, ensuring that the sliding fit between the carbon brush head 21 and the inner hole of the center hole of the turntable main shaft 7 is more reliable, avoiding poor contact, ensuring reliable feeding, and achieving larger current feeding.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, the carbon brush shaft 1 has at least two carbon brush holes 11 arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the carbon brush shaft 1, the carbon brush hole 11 is perpendicular to the axis of the carbon brush shaft 1, the carbon brush hole 11 is rectangular, the size of the carbon brush hole 11 is consistent with the cross-section of the carbon brush head 21, and a gap is left to allow the carbon brush head 21 to slide freely in the carbon brush hole 11, the carbon brush holes 11 are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the carbon brush shaft 1, and these carbon brush holes 11 are arranged at equal angles in the circumferential direction of the orthographic projection of the carbon brush shaft 1, such as Figure 1 and Figures 5 to 7 As shown, taking three carbon brush holes 11 as an example, the angle of the projection of the three carbon brush holes 11 in the circumferential direction is 120°, if there are four carbon brush holes 11, the angle is 90°. This arrangement allows the carbon brush heads 21 installed in the carbon brush holes 11 to be distributed at equal angles, and the carbon brush heads 21 are evenly distributed on the inner hole of the center hole of the turntable main shaft 7, so that the sliding friction of the carbon brush heads 21 is more uniform when the turntable main shaft 7 rotates, thereby reducing the loss of the carbon brush heads 21 and improving the power feeding accuracy.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting body 231 is an adjusting screw, and the carbon brush hole 11 is processed with a double half-moon threaded portion 1111 at the other end of the carbon brush head 21, and the diameter of the threaded portion 1111 is greater than the length of the short side of the rectangular carbon brush hole 11, and the space left between the adjusting member 23 and the long side of the rectangular carbon brush hole 11 forms a locking space 111, and the side section 2322 of the pressing sheet 232 is placed in the locking space 111, and the adjusting body 231 is screwed in and out of the threaded portion 1111 to adjust the elastic force of the elastic member 22, and the left and right sides of the locking space 111 have vertical A fastening portion 1112 is established in the vertical direction, and the side section 2322 of the pressing piece 232 in the fastening portion 1112 partially covers the adjusting body 231, and the fastening hole 12 penetrates the fastening portion 1112. After the pressing piece 232 is installed in the adjusting body 231 and the fastening portion 1112, the adjusting body 231 and the fastening portion 1112 jointly limit the pressing piece 232. The pressing piece 232 is limited by the fastening portion 1112 and will not be separated from the fastening portion 1112 as the adjusting body 231 rotates, so that the fastening piece 121 can always cooperate with the pressing piece 232 after being tightened and unscrewed, thereby ensuring reliable and stable tightening.

[0062] In the above embodiment, if Figure 4As shown, a through fixing hole 13 is provided at the upper end of the carbon brush shaft 1 and the lower end of the insulating gland 3, and the pin 6 passes through the fixing hole 13 to fasten the carbon brush shaft 1 and the insulating gland 3; the carbon brush shaft 1 is fastened to the insulating gland 3, and a first annular sealing groove 31 is provided on the lower surface of the insulating gland 3, in which a first sealing ring 32 is installed, and the insulating gland 3 is fixed to the turntable rear cover 8 on the outside of the fixing hole 13 by fasteners, and the inner wall of the turntable rear cover 8 is gap-matched with the outer surface of the insulating gland 3 at the position of the fixing hole 13, and the pin 6 is limited by the turntable rear cover 8; at the same time, the carbon brush shaft 1 is fixedly connected to the liquid-proof ring 4 by fasteners, and a second sealing groove 41 is provided on the outer surface of the liquid-proof ring 4, and a second sealing ring 42 is installed in the second sealing groove 41, which is used to prevent the working fluid from entering the feeding device from the inner hole of the turntable main shaft 7, so as to complete the fixed installation and sealing of the feeding device and ensure that the seal is leak-proof.
