Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical equipment manufacturing technology, specifically to a specialized milling and drilling machine tool with a rotary device. Background Technology
[0002] The slewing mechanism is an important component that provides rotational motion for mechanical equipment. For example, the slewing bearing is a typical slewing mechanism. The slewing mechanism is a ring-shaped structural component and is widely used in excavators and cranes. The rotating parts of excavators and cranes rely on the slewing mechanism to transmit power, and its machining accuracy directly determines the machine's performance and lifespan. The size of the slewing mechanism varies depending on the tonnage of the machine. The size of the slewing mechanism for small excavators can be about one to two meters. This type of slewing mechanism can be manufactured through ordinary machining.
[0003] A machining method for a slewing bearing is disclosed in patent application number 201911142635.4, published on March 24, 2020. This method includes the following machining process for the outer ring: rough turning - first boring - semi-finish turning - first finish turning - rolling.
[0004] The machining process for the inner ring is as follows: rough turning - first boring - first finish turning - gear hobbing - raceway quenching - gear quenching - machine tool shaping - tempering - second finish turning - drilling - turning and grinding - second boring. This method uses ordinary turning and boring to machine the slewing bearing, which is suitable for machining smaller slewing bearings.
[0005] The patent application with application number 201610852816.6 and authorization announcement date of March 29, 2019 discloses a machining method and support for a slewing bearing. The present invention discloses a machining method for a slewing bearing, which involves clamping a forged blank onto a lathe, correcting the inner hole runout to ≤1.5mm and the end face runout to ≤1.2mm, machining the outer diameter according to the machining process drawing, controlling the dimensional deviation to ±0.7mm, and retaining a allowance of 5-10mm, machining the reference surface C, ensuring that it is free of defects, and chamfering the inner and outer diameters of the reference surface C with 2×45°. The present invention discloses a method for machining a slewing bearing. During semi-finish turning, a allowance is left. After heat treatment of the raceway, plugging hole, and tapered pin hole (I), the bearing is machined to the dimensions required by the drawing. Then, the plugging hole and tapered pin hole are subjected to a second heat treatment to improve the diffusion layer structure of the plugging hole and tapered pin hole, refine the grains, and further increase their hardness. This makes the surface hardness of the plugging hole and tapered pin hole greater than the hardness of the raceway, making it more wear-resistant and stress-bearing. This ensures that it will not deform during long-term use and will not affect the precision operation of the device. This solution still uses lathe machining to process the slewing bearing and is only suitable for machining smaller slewing bearings.
[0006] Large cranes, such as those used in ports, can have slewing devices that are over ten meters in size. Obviously, such large slewing devices cannot be machined using conventional machine tools. Therefore, we need a solution for machining large slewing devices. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a specialized milling and drilling machine tool for rotary devices, solving the problem that large-sized rotary devices cannot be processed by conventional methods.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a professional milling and drilling machine tool with a rotary device, comprising a mounting base, a cantilevered rotating arm mounted on the mounting base via a rotary platform, a head horizontal sliding device and a head horizontal drive device mounted at one end of the rotating arm, a head seat mounted on the head horizontal sliding device, a head vertical sliding device and a head vertical drive device mounted on the head seat, a power head mounted on the head vertical sliding device, and a cutter head mounted on the rotating shaft of the power head;
[0009] A cutting stepping mechanism is provided on the machine head base. The cutting stepping mechanism includes a rotating cylinder frame, and one or more follower rollers are provided at the bottom of the rotating cylinder frame. A rotatable pin is provided vertically downward at one end of the rotating cylinder frame. The cutting stepping mechanism also includes an electrically controlled magnetic base, on which a hydraulic cylinder support is provided. A telescopic feed drive device is provided on the hydraulic cylinder support. The push rod of the telescopic feed drive device is connected to the pin.
[0010] A locking mechanism is provided on the rotary platform. The locking mechanism includes a handwheel, a reduction gearbox, and a locking gear. The reduction gearbox housing is installed on the rotary platform. The output end of the reduction gearbox is connected to the locking gear, and the locking gear is connected to the rotary platform.
[0011] The slewing platform is also equipped with a power pump station and an electrical control mechanism; a counterweight device is also provided at the other end of the rotating boom.
[0012] With the above settings, the rotating boom can rotate around the slewing platform, and the power head can slide along the rotating boom. This allows for the processing of slewing bearings of different diameters as required. Theoretically, it is possible to process slewing bearings of infinite diameter, which overcomes the problem of being limited in processing range when using conventional machine tools, such as lathes and machining centers.
[0013] An important step in using this machine tool is to first machine an initial reference surface on the slewing bearing to be machined, then adjust the follower roller to be close to the initial reference surface and lock it, adjust the bottom end face of the cutter head to be flush with the initial reference surface, and then start the machine to machine. With the help of the electrically controlled magnetic suction base and the telescopic feed drive device, the required surface can be machined step by step from the initial reference surface of the slewing bearing around the slewing bearing.
[0014] The locking mechanism acts on the rotary platform through the gearbox and locking gear, which can lock the rotary platform during drilling and milling operations and when the machine is stopped and idle, preventing unnecessary rotational movement.
[0015] The counterweight device can balance the weight on one side of the rotating boom, reduce the unbalanced force on one side of the rotary platform, improve the accuracy of the rotary motion, reduce the vibration phenomenon during the cutting head machining process, and improve the machining accuracy of the plane.
[0016] The power pump station and electrical control mechanism provide power and control for the machine tool.
[0017] Furthermore, the slewing platform includes a slewing bearing connected to a mounting base; a gear ring is provided on the slewing bearing, and a locking gear meshes with the gear ring. The slewing bearing facilitates the rotational movement of the boom, and the locking gear can lock and unlock the boom via the slewing bearing.
[0018] Furthermore, the machine head horizontal sliding device includes one or more horizontal guide rails horizontally arranged on both sides of the rotating arm, and a horizontal slider is provided on the machine head base, which cooperates with the horizontal guide rails; the machine head horizontal drive device is a first electric push rod, the base of which is mounted on the rotating arm, and the nut of which is mounted on the machine head base. By setting the horizontal guide rails and the horizontal slider, the radial movement of the power machine head can be easily realized, adapting to different processing radius ranges; the electric push rod is selected as the machine head horizontal drive device because it operates precisely and is easy to control.
[0019] Furthermore, the vertical sliding device for the machine head includes one or more vertical guide rails vertically mounted on the machine head base, and a vertical slider on the housing of the power machine head, which cooperates with the vertical guide rails. The vertical drive device for the machine head is a second electric push rod, the base of which is mounted on the machine head base and the housing of the spindle motor of the second electric push rod. By setting up the vertical guide rails and the vertical slider, the lifting and lowering of the power machine head can be easily achieved, facilitating tool setting and feeding.
[0020] Furthermore, the rotating boom has two horizontal guide rails on each side. With two rails on each side, there are a total of four horizontal guide rails providing movement tracks for the power head, effectively ensuring the smooth operation of the power head.
[0021] Furthermore, the machine head base has two vertical guide rails. These two vertical guide rails provide a stable track for the lifting and lowering of the power machine head.
[0022] Furthermore, the telescopic feed drive is a stepping cylinder. Stepping cylinders are simple to control and can provide stable thrust.
[0023] Furthermore, the power head is a high-precision CNC spindle motor. High-precision CNC spindle motors are small in size, run smoothly, and are easy to control. Attached Figure Description
