Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic machining, and in particular to an ultrasonic tool holder, an ultrasonic machining device and ultrasonic machining equipment. Background Art

[0002] Introducing high-frequency vibration into machining operations not only improves surface roughness and precision, but also reduces cutting resistance and increases tool life. Consequently, this technique is gaining widespread application. Ultrasonic machining equipment is one such application.

[0003] At present, since the ultrasonic tool holder needs to generate a certain amplitude during operation, a receiving frame for installing an ultrasonic wireless receiving device needs to be installed on the tool holder body. After the ultrasonic tool holder is installed on the ultrasonic main shaft, the receiving frame and the transmitting frame on the ultrasonic main shaft for installing an ultrasonic wireless transmitting device are opposite and the distance between them is small. In addition, the tool clamping slot of the existing ultrasonic tool holder is generally set at the rear end of the receiving frame. Therefore, when the tool changing fixture is clamped at the position of the tool clamping slot for tool changing, it will interfere with the transmitting frame, and automatic tool changing cannot be achieved.

[0004] Therefore, the existing technology generally uses manual tool change or setting up a non-full-ring launcher.

[0066] refer to Figure 1 One embodiment of the present invention provides an ultrasonic machining device, including an ultrasonic tool holder 300 , an ultrasonic spindle 100 and a tool changing fixture 200 .

[0067] refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 , wherein the ultrasonic knife handle 300 includes a knife handle body 310 and a receiving frame 320, the knife handle body 310 has a rear end portion 311 for being inserted into the ultrasonic spindle 100, the outer periphery of the knife handle body 310 is provided with a knife clamping groove 312, a claw positioning groove 313 for circumferential positioning with the tool changing fixture 200 and a spindle positioning groove 314 open to the rear end portion 311; the receiving frame 320 is sleeved and fixed on the outer periphery of the knife handle body 310, the spindle positioning groove 314 and the knife clamping groove 312 are respectively provided on both sides of the axial direction of the receiving frame 320, specifically, the spindle positioning groove 314 is provided at the rear end of the receiving frame 320, and the knife clamping groove 312 is provided at the front end of the receiving frame 320; wherein, the front end and / or rear end of the knife clamping groove 312 is provided with a claw positioning groove 313, and the claw positioning groove 313 is provided at the front end of the receiving frame 320.

[0068] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ultrasonic spindle 100 of this embodiment includes a spindle housing 110, a rotating shaft 120 and a launching frame 130. The rotating shaft 120 is rotatably arranged in the spindle housing 110. The front end of the rotating shaft 120 is provided with a positioning portion 121 and a mounting hole 122 for inserting the rear end portion 311. The launching frame 130 is arranged at the front end of the spindle housing 110 and is arranged around the rotating shaft 120.

[0069] refer to Figure 4-Figure 6The tool changing fixture 200 of this embodiment includes a swing arm 210 and a tool changing claw 220 connected to one end of the swing arm 210. The tool changing claw 220 has a slot 230 for accommodating the ultrasonic tool holder 300, and the tool changing claw 220 is provided with a positioning block 240 protruding from the inner side wall of the slot 230. Specifically, the claw positioning groove 313 is arranged at the front end and / or rear end of the tool slot 312. The positioning block 240 can be respectively arranged at the upper end surface and / or lower end surface of the tool changing claw 220 according to the position of the claw positioning groove 313, so as to cooperate with the claw positioning groove 313 to realize the positioning of the tool changing fixture 200 and the ultrasonic tool holder 300 when taking the tool. The claw positioning groove 313 in this embodiment is arranged at the front end of the tool slot 312. Therefore, the positioning block 240 is arranged at the lower end surface of the tool changing claw 220.

[0070] In this way, when the ultrasonic knife handle 300 is clamped in the clamping slot 230, the positioning block 240 is inserted into the clamping claw positioning slot 313 to realize the circumferential positioning of the tool changing fixture 200 and the ultrasonic knife handle 300. Then, the tool changing fixture 200 drives the ultrasonic knife handle 300 to move to the bottom of the ultrasonic main shaft 100 and inserts the rear end portion 311 into the mounting hole 122, and the positioning portion 121 is inserted into the main shaft positioning slot 314 to realize the circumferential positioning of the ultrasonic main shaft 100 and the ultrasonic knife handle 300. At this time, the main shaft positioning slot 314 is located on the inner side of the transmitting frame 130, and the receiving frame 320 is located on the inner side of the transmitting frame 130. It is arranged opposite to the transmitting frame 130; during the tool changing process, the tool changing fixture 200 is clamped at the position of the tool clamping slot 312 of the ultrasonic tool handle 300, and the tool clamping slot 312 is provided at the front end of the receiving frame 320. The tool changing fixture 200 moves the ultrasonic tool handle 300 and inserts the rear end portion 311 of the ultrasonic tool handle 300 into the ultrasonic main shaft 100. At this time, the tool changing fixture 200 and the ultrasonic main shaft 100 are respectively located on both sides of the receiving frame 320, thereby avoiding interference between the tool changing fixture 200 and the ultrasonic main shaft 100 during the tool changing process, thereby realizing the automatic installation of the ultrasonic tool handle 300;

[0071] In addition, since the tool changing fixture 200 will not interfere with the ultrasonic spindle 100 during the tool changing process, the launcher 130 set at the front end of the spindle housing 110 does not need to avoid the tool changing fixture 200, so that a launcher 130 with a full-ring structure set around the rotating shaft 120 can be set to install a full-ring structure ultrasonic wireless transmitting device, so that the ultrasonic processing equipment has a more stable output power and generates a larger amplitude, meeting more different processing requirements.

[0072] refer to Figure 5Furthermore, the spindle positioning groove 314 provided in the ultrasonic shank 300 in this embodiment has a positioning front side wall 314a, and the positioning front side wall 314a is provided at the rear end of the rear end surface of the receiving frame 320 or is flush with the rear end surface of the receiving frame 320. In this way, when the receiving frame 320 is fixed on the outer periphery of the shank body 310, there is a gap between the inner side of the receiving frame 320 and the outer periphery of the shank body 310, thereby preventing the receiving frame 320 from being deformed at the gap when the receiving frame 320 and the shank body 310 are welded and fixed, thereby ensuring the assembly quality of the receiving frame 320 and the shank body 310.

[0073] refer to Figure 10 In other embodiments, to improve the processing efficiency of the spindle positioning groove 314 and the claw positioning groove 313, a connecting groove 315 is provided on the outer periphery of the tool handle body 310. The spindle positioning groove 314 is connected to the claw positioning groove 313 through the connecting groove 315. Thus, during the processing, the spindle positioning groove 314 and the claw positioning groove 313 can be quickly processed by moving the tool along the axial direction of the tool handle body 310. In another embodiment, the front end and / or rear end of the claw positioning groove 313 can be closed.

[0074] In this embodiment, the spindle positioning groove 314 has a first side wall 314b and a second side wall 314c which are arranged relatively along the circumferential direction of the handle body 310 and are used for circumferential positioning with the ultrasonic spindle 100, thereby limiting the movement of the positioning portion 121 in the circumferential direction relative to the handle body 310 and ensuring that the rotating shaft 120 is synchronized with the handle body 310 during rotation.

[0075] Furthermore, the first side wall 314b, the positioning front side wall 314a and the second side wall 314c are connected in sequence with smooth transitions. Specifically, the first side wall 314b and the positioning front side wall 314a, and the second side wall 314c and the positioning front side wall 314a are connected by chamfered corners, which helps to avoid dust accumulation at the connection between the first side wall 314b and the positioning front side wall 314a, and the second side wall 314c and the positioning front side wall 314a.

[0076] In another embodiment, the positioning front side wall 314a is an arc side wall protruding toward the front end of the shank body 310, and the positioning front side wall 314a is smoothly connected to the first side wall 314b and the second side wall 314c, and the diameter of the positioning front side wall 314a is equal to the distance between the first side wall 314b and the second side wall 314c. Therefore, when processing the spindle positioning groove 314, a large-diameter tool can be used to simultaneously process and form the positioning front side wall 314a, the first side wall 314b and the second side wall 314c without replacing the tool, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0077] Furthermore, the knife clamping groove 312 in this embodiment is arranged around the outer periphery of the handle body 310. Figure 4 and Figure 6 The tool-changing claw 220 includes a first side claw 221 and a second side claw 222 arranged opposite to each other, and a clamping groove 230 is formed between the first side claw 221 and the second side claw 222. The first side claw 221 and the second side claw 222 both have an elastic portion 223. When clamping the tool handle body 310, the tool-changing claw 220 moves along the radial direction of the tool handle body 310, and the elastic portion 223 is clamped along the tool clamping groove 312 arranged on the outer circumference of the tool handle body 310. When clamping the tool handle body 310, the tool-changing claw 220 can pass through the maximum diameter of the tool clamping groove 312 and clamp the tool handle body 310 in the clamping groove 230 under the action of the elastic force.

[0078] Among them, the knife slot 312 has a front side wall 312a and a rear side wall 312b of the knife that are relatively arranged. The front side wall 312a and the rear side wall 312b of the knife are both inclined in the direction away from the knife slot 312, thereby playing a guiding role, guiding the elastic part 223 to be inserted into the knife slot 312, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the knife; specifically, the elastic part 223 has an elastic end 224 that abuts against the inner wall of the knife slot 312, and the elastic end 224 is spherical, so that it can better slide into the knife slot 312.

[0079] For further reference, Figure 5 When the claw positioning groove 313 is provided at the front end of the knife clamping groove 312, the claw positioning groove 313 passes through the front side wall 312a of the knife clamping groove and is connected with the knife clamping groove 312. In this embodiment, the claw positioning groove 313 is opened at the front end of the knife clamping groove 312, which helps to make the knife clamping groove 312 close to the receiving frame 320, so that the position of the tool changing fixture 200 clamping the knife handle body 310 is closer to the rear end portion 311, thereby improving the stability of the clamping knife handle body 310 during the process of inserting it into the ultrasonic spindle 100.

[0080] refer to Figure 11 In other embodiments, when the claw positioning groove 313 is provided at the rear end of the knife slot 312, the claw positioning groove 313 passes through the knife rear side wall 312b; Figure 12 When the front and rear ends of the knife slot 312 are both provided with claw positioning grooves 313, the two claw positioning grooves 313 respectively pass through the front and rear ends of the knife slot 312. At the same time, when processing the two claw positioning grooves 313, they can be processed and formed at one time, and the rear end surface of the claw positioning groove 313 is an arc surface, which improves processing efficiency.

[0081] In order to further improve the reliability of positioning the ultrasonic shank 300 and the ultrasonic spindle 100, spindle positioning grooves 314 are symmetrically arranged at both radial ends of the shank body 310. In addition, in order to facilitate the tool changing claws 220 to clamp from different directions and position with the shank body 310 through the positioning block 240, claw positioning grooves 313 are symmetrically arranged at both radial ends of the shank body 310.

[0082] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 In this embodiment, the ultrasonic spindle 100 further includes a front end cover 140, the spindle housing 110 has a first air channel 111, the front end cover 140 is disposed at the front end of the spindle housing 110 and is disposed around the rotating shaft 120, an air cavity is provided between the inner side of the front end cover 140 and the outer side of the rotating shaft 120, and the front end cover 140 has a second air channel 141 connecting the first air channel 111 and the air cavity, wherein a first gap 150 connected to the air cavity is formed between the inner side of the transmitting frame 130 and the outer side of the tool handle body 310, and a second gap 160 connected to the first gap 150 is formed between the front end of the transmitting frame 130 and the rear end of the receiving frame 320;

[0083] As a result, the gas entering the first air channel 111 is blown toward the receiving frame 320 through the second air channel 141, the air cavity and the first gap 150, and then blown out from the second gap 160 between the receiving frame 320 and the transmitting frame 130, so as to blow away the dust, impurities or liquid on the receiving frame 320 to keep the second gap 160 clean without affecting the wireless power transmission between the ultrasonic wireless transmitting device and the ultrasonic wireless receiving device arranged on the transmitting frame 130 and the receiving frame 320. At the same time, the gas forms a positive pressure seal to prevent external dust and impurities from entering the interior of the ultrasonic spindle 100 through the first gap 150 and the second gap 160; in addition, the gas can also cool the receiving frame 320 and the shank body 310.

[0084] Furthermore, since the spindle positioning groove 314 is located on the inner side of the launching frame 130 when the rear end portion 311 is inserted into the mounting hole 122, when the positioning front side wall 314a of the spindle positioning groove 314 in this embodiment is arranged at the rear end of the receiving frame 320, it avoids the airflow from the first gap 150 to the second gap 160 through the gap formed between the tool handle body 310 and the receiving frame 320 to generate wind noise or blow dust into the gap for accumulation, thereby reducing the noise generated by the operation of the ultrasonic processing equipment, and better realizing the positive pressure sealing in the second gap 160, avoiding the airflow from the spindle positioning groove 314 to blow into the claw positioning groove 313 and outflow, reducing the effect of the positive pressure sealing in the second gap 160.

[0085] A third gap 170 is formed between the inner side of the launching frame 130 and the outer side of the rotating shaft 120 , and the air cavity, the third gap 170 and the first gap 150 are connected in sequence.

[0086] Furthermore, in order to allow the air entering the air cavity to be blown toward the rotating shaft 120 evenly and powerfully, a ventilation ring 180 is provided in the air cavity around the rotating shaft 120, and an air gap communicating with the first gap 150 is formed between the inner side of the ventilation ring 180 and the outer side of the rotating shaft 120. Figure 8, the ventilation ring 180 is provided with a ventilation hole connecting the second air channel 141 and the air gap; at the same time, in order to allow the air flow after the second air channel 141 enters the air cavity to flow along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 120, refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 A first annular groove 142 is provided on the inner side of the front end cover 140, a second annular groove 182 is provided on the inner side of the ventilation ring 180, and the second air passage 141, the first annular groove 142, the ventilation hole, the second annular groove 182 and the air gap are connected in sequence.

[0087] Specifically, there are multiple vent holes that are evenly arranged along the circumference of the vent ring 180 , further enabling airflow to blow toward the rotating shaft 120 from multiple directions along the circumference of the rotating shaft 120 .

[0088] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 9 In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 120 includes a shaft body 123 and a positioning ring 124. The positioning ring 124 is sleeved and fixed on the outer periphery of the shaft body 123. The front end of the positioning ring 124 is provided with a positioning portion 121 protruding from the front end surface of the shaft body 123 to facilitate the replacement of the positioning ring 124, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the ultrasonic main shaft 100 due to wear and tear.

[0089] refer to Figure 13 In this embodiment, the tool holder body 310 includes a spindle positioning portion 330, and a spindle positioning groove 314 is provided on the outer periphery of the spindle positioning portion 330. At this time, the radius of the spindle positioning portion 330 is R, and the arc length formed by the circumferential ends of the opening of the spindle positioning groove 314 along the radial direction of the spindle positioning portion 330 along the outer periphery of the spindle positioning portion 330 is C, 0.3≤C / R≤0.8, and the maximum groove depth of the spindle positioning groove 314 along the radial direction of the spindle positioning portion 330 is H, 0.2≤H / R≤0.33, so that the spindle positioning After the size of the groove 314 and the size of the handle body 310 satisfy the above-mentioned relationship, the wind noise generated by the setting of the spindle positioning groove 314 can be reduced when the handle body 310 is connected to the ultrasonic spindle 100 and is in a rotating state. At the same time, the handle body 310 has better stability during operation, and the handle body 310 has reasonable strength at the position where the spindle positioning groove 314 is opened, so that the size of the spindle positioning groove 314 opened on the handle body 310 is more reasonably coordinated with the overall structure of the handle body 310.

[0090] Furthermore, when 0.5≤C / H≤2.7, 4.5≤H≤20, the structure of the spindle positioning groove 314 can be made more reasonable, and at the same time, the positioning portion 330 inserted into the spindle positioning groove 314 can have the strength to drive the ultrasonic shank 300 of corresponding different volumes when realizing circumferential positioning, and provide the torque required for the rotation of the ultrasonic shank 300; at the same time, the groove depth H and arc length C of the spindle positioning groove 314 satisfy the above relationship. During the rotation of the shank body 310, the airflow can enter the spindle positioning groove due to the negative pressure and flow out in a gentle flow curve, so that the airflow can flow more smoothly in the spindle positioning groove 314, reducing the pressure caused by the airflow. The irregular vibration of the airflow in the main shaft positioning groove 314 produces strong wind noise; at the same time, since the ultrasonic shank 300 in this embodiment is matched with the ultrasonic main shaft 100, the main shaft positioning groove 314 is arranged on the inner side of the launch frame, that is, the main shaft positioning groove 314 corresponds to the first gap 150. When the main shaft positioning groove 314 satisfies the above relationship, when the ultrasonic shank 300 is matched with the ultrasonic main shaft 100, when the airflow passes through the first gap 150, the setting of the main shaft positioning groove 314 can reduce the impact on the airflow in the first gap 150, and achieve a good positive pressure sealing effect in the first gap 150; further preferably, 1.2≤C / H≤2.6.

[0091] Based on the above structure, the ultrasonic tool holder 300 avoids interference between the tool changing fixture 200 and the ultrasonic spindle 100 during the tool changing process, thereby realizing automatic tool changing of the ultrasonic tool holder 300. At the same time, the ultrasonic spindle 100 can be installed with a launch frame 130 with a full-ring structure to achieve stable output of the ultrasonic processing equipment and generate a larger amplitude, thereby improving processing efficiency and being applicable to the processing of more types of products.
