Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of numerically controlled machine tools, in particular to a double-row ball-worm gear numerically controlled rotary table with a built-in rotary cylinder. Background Art
[0002] The CNC rotary table is an important functional component of the CNC machine tool. It is driven by a servo motor to realize rotation position control. It can realize automatic clamping of the processed parts with the fixture. It is particularly suitable for CNC milling machines, CNC gear machine tools and CNC grinders. The rotating parts of the current rotary table are composed of various structural types such as traditional worm gears, roller bearing worm gears and electric direct drives, which have the problems of low efficiency and large wear or high efficiency and poor rigidity. The present invention adopts double-row ball bearings as the worm gear tooth surface and the arc surface enveloping worm to mesh and rotate, which can meet high efficiency and maintain high rigidity. The current rotary table can only provide a single rotation operation, and the clamping of the workpiece requires additional fixture components to realize automatic clamping. The present invention adopts the unique structure of the spherical worm gear component and designs a rotatable cylinder inside it to realize automatic clamping. The structure is compact, effectively saving the design space of the machine tool and simplifying the structure of the machine tool. The current rotary cylinder uses a two-way pneumatic push-pull piston to drive the clamp. In actual operation, when the air source pressure changes unexpectedly, it will affect the clamping force of the clamp, leading to production safety problems. The present invention uses a one-way cylinder and combines it with a spring assembly to achieve the locking and release of the clamp. The clamp is locked by the spring force, and the clamp is released by the cylinder force. In this way, even if the air source changes during the processing, the clamping force will not be lost, making the processing safety more reliable. Summary of the invention
