Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a machining apparatus, and more particularly to a crankshaft machining apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] The crankshaft is a commonly used mechanical component. The current crankshaft machining process involves first drilling the center hole in process AF10, followed by milling the balance block and connecting rod journal outer diameter in process AF30. AF10 machining involves drilling the crankshaft center hole. AF30 external milling uses a chuck to hold the crankshaft main journal flange and the outer diameter of the shaft end, and a CNC device controls the milling cutter to perform follow-up interpolation milling on the crankshaft connecting rod journal. This allows for high-speed milling of four connecting rod journals in a single setup through follow-up milling.

[0003] This existing process has the following problems:

[0004] (1) AF10 has a smaller processing volume and a faster production cycle. AF30 has a larger processing volume and a longer production cycle. Therefore, there is an imbalance in the production cycle between the two processes.

[0005] (2) Figure 1 As shown, when milling the connecting rod necks of PL4, PL3, and PL2 with an AF30 milling tool, the cutting amount on both sides of the tool is uniform. When milling the connecting rod neck of PL1, the side of the balance block P is also milled. The cutting amount on one side of the balance block is extremely large, which causes an imbalance in the cutting force of the tool, resulting in vibration. This leads to uneven wear of the tool on both sides, with the cutting edge on the balance block side wearing rapidly and the insert easily chipping, resulting in batch scrap. The tool on the other side does not wear sufficiently, which wastes tool life.

[0006] Therefore, it is desirable to provide a crankshaft balance block pre-processing device that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0065] The crankshaft balance block pre-processing device of the present invention will be further explained and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. However, this explanation and description do not constitute an improper limitation on the technical solution of the present invention.

[0066] Figure 2 The diagram shows a front view of one embodiment of the crankshaft balance block pre-processing device of the present invention.

[0067] Figure 3 The image shows a top view of one embodiment of the crankshaft balance block pre-processing device of the present invention.

[0068] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the crankshaft balance block pre-machining device of the present invention utilizes the spindle 46 and spindle box 29 of the drilling machine for drilling the center hole of the crankshaft. Through a series of components, the rotation of the spindle 46 is converted into the rotation and feed of the milling cutter 17 to pre-machin the crankshaft balance block.

[0069] Figure 4 This image shows a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the crankshaft balance block pre-processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention from one perspective. Figure 5 for Figure 4 Enlarged view of point I in the middle.

[0070] Figure 6 The image shows a front view of one embodiment of the crankshaft balance block pre-processing device of the present invention; Figure 7 for Figure 6 Sectional view at point DD.

[0071] Figure 8 The diagram shows a structural schematic of the crankshaft balance block pre-processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention from another perspective.

[0072] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the crankshaft balance block pre-machining device includes: a spindle box 29 mounted on the drilling machine bed 42, wherein a spindle 46 is housed within the spindle box 29, which is capable of rotating around its own axis under the drive of a spindle motor (not shown in the figure). The spindle feed drive assembly can drive the spindle 46 and the spindle box 29 to move linearly in the Y-axis direction.

[0073] like Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, in one embodiment, the spindle feed drive assembly includes: a motor 25 connected to the drilling machine bed 42 via an angle iron; a feed motor bearing housing 26 fixed to the drilling machine bed 42 by bolts; a spindle box feed guide rail 27 fixed to the drilling machine bed 42 by bolts; a lead screw 28 passing through the feed motor bearing housing 26 and connected to the output shaft of the motor 25, and connected to the spindle box 29 via a threaded pair; the spindle box feed guide rail 27 extending along the Y-axis direction is slidably connected to the spindle box 29.

[0074] like Figure 7 As shown, the lifting gear 38, main shaft gear 39, idler gear 40, and lowering gear 41 are all mounted within the gear bracket 8. The main shaft gear 39 is sleeved on the main shaft 46. The lifting gear 38 is directly meshed with the main shaft gear 39, and the lowering gear 41 is connected to the main shaft gear 39 via the intermediate idler gear 40. This causes the lifting gear 38 and the lowering gear 41 to rotate in opposite directions when the main shaft gear 39 rotates, thereby driving the rack 37, which meshes with the lifting gear 38 and the lowering gear 41 at different workstations, to move along the third and fourth directions in the X-axis direction.

[0075] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the crankshaft balance block pre-processing device also includes: a milling cutter feed transmission assembly connected to the rack 37, a gear switching assembly connected to the gear bracket 8, and a rotation transmission assembly connected between the main shaft 46 and the milling cutter shaft 18. When the main shaft 46 rotates around its own axis, the rotation transmission assembly drives the milling cutter shaft 18 to rotate around its own axis.

[0076] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, when the spindle 46 is in the Y-axis direction (i.e. Figure 4 (in the left and right directions) towards the first direction (i.e. Figure 4 When feeding from the center to the left, the gear switching assembly drives the gear support 8 to rotate around the axis of the main shaft 46 in the first rotation direction, so that the lifting gear 38 meshes with the rack 37, thereby driving the rack 37 along the X-axis (i.e., from the center to the left) on the rack guide 32. Figure 4 The spindle 46 moves in a third direction (the front-to-back direction) to drive the milling cutter 17 towards the balance block of the crankshaft 6 to be machined via the milling cutter feed drive assembly. When the spindle 46 moves in the second direction (i.e., the Y-axis direction)... Figure 4 When feeding from the center to the right, the gear support 8 is driven to rotate around the axis of the main shaft 46 in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction through the gear switching assembly, so that the drop gear 41 meshes with the rack 37, thereby driving the rack 37 to move along the fourth direction on the X-axis on the rack guide 32, so as to drive the milling cutter 17 away from the balance block of the crankshaft 6 through the milling cutter feed transmission assembly.

[0077] It should be noted that the crankshaft 6 is positioned and clamped onto the rotary bed 42 by the V-block crankshaft positioning of the hydraulic clamp 7. Since the positioning and clamping of the crankshaft is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here.

[0078] In some embodiments, the rack guide rail 32 is fixed to the drilling machine bed 42 by bolts, and the rack 37 is connected to the rack guide rail 32 through a dovetail groove guide rail pair.

[0079] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the gear switching assembly includes: a circular ring sleeve 10 fitted onto the spindle 46, the circular ring sleeve 10 having a groove. A feed lever 30 is embedded in the groove, and the tail end of the feed lever 30 is slidably connected to a lever feed guide 31 extending along the Y-axis direction via a dovetail joint. When the spindle 46 feeds along the Y-axis direction, it drives the circular ring sleeve 10 to feed synchronously, and the circular ring sleeve 10 further pushes the feed lever 30 to slide along the lever feed guide 31, which is fixed to the drilling machine bed 42 by bolts. This action will push the lever 24 to rotate around the vertically mounted lever shaft 23. The hole in the middle of the lever 24 is inserted into the stepped hole at the top of the lever shaft 23, so that it can rotate around the lever shaft 23. The lever shaft 23 is fixed to the drilling machine bed 42 by bolts. The lever 24 has a first groove 241 and a second groove 242 at its head and tail ends, respectively. The upper end of the feed lever 30 is inserted into the first groove 241, and the second groove 242 contains the slide pin 201 of the slide plate 20. Figure 8 As shown, the slide plate 20 is also provided with slide plate grooves 202 extending in both the Y-axis and Z-axis directions. The slide plate 20 is connected to the slide plate guide rail 9 extending along the Y-axis direction via a dovetail groove guide rail pair. The slide plate guide rail 9 is fixed to the drilling machine bed 42 by bolts. The guide rod 21 is fixed to the drilling machine bed 42 by bolts. The slider 22 is inserted into the guide rod 21 through the guide rod hole and can slide up and down along the guide rod 21.

[0080] Figure 9 The diagram shows a schematic of the slider in one embodiment of the crankshaft balance block pre-processing device of the present invention.

[0081] like Figure 9 As shown, the slider 22 has a first pin 221 and a second pin 222, wherein the first pin 221 is inserted into the slide groove 202, thereby being able to slide along the slide groove and be guided thereby. The second pin 222 is used to insert into, for example, Figure 8 The gear bracket 8 shown is located in the first inclined groove 81.

[0082] Continue reading Figure 4In some embodiments, the milling cutter feed transmission assembly includes a milling cutter drive shaft 35, on which a milling cutter drive shaft sleeve 2 is fitted. The milling cutter drive shaft sleeve 2 passes through a hole in the milling cutter drive shaft bearing housing 1 and is tightened with a milling cutter drive shaft sleeve round nut 3, which then fits against the stepped end face of the milling cutter drive shaft sleeve 2. The milling cutter drive shaft bearing housing 1 is fixed to the drilling machine bed 42 by bolts. The milling cutter drive shaft sleeve 2 can rotate within the hole in the milling cutter drive shaft bearing housing 1.

[0083] The milling cutter feed transmission assembly also includes: a spindle cradle lever 33, the tail end of which is interference-fitted with the rack 37 through a hole; a milling cutter drive shaft sleeve 2 passing through the inner hole of the milling cutter support 16, so that the milling cutter support 16 can rotate around the milling cutter drive shaft sleeve 2, that is, realizing the rotatable connection between the milling cutter support 16 and the milling cutter drive shaft 35; the upper arm of the milling cutter support 16 is connected to the milling cutter shaft 18, and the milling cutter 17 is fixed on the milling cutter shaft 18. A second inclined groove 161 is provided on the lower arm of the milling cutter support 16, and the head end of the spindle cradle lever 33 is inserted into the second inclined groove 161. The milling cutter shaft 18 and the milling cutter drive shaft 35 pass through the two holes of the milling cutter connecting bracket 19.

[0084] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the rotational transmission assembly includes: a spindle lever 11 extending from the spindle in the radial direction. A drill bit 12 is bolted to the spindle 46. A drive rod 13 is fixed to the spindle sleeve 45. The spindle lever 11, as the spindle 46 rotates, can actuate the drive rod 13, thereby causing the spindle sleeve 45 to rotate.

[0085] Figure 10 This shows a side view of one embodiment of the crankshaft balance block pre-processing device of the present invention; Figure 11 Showing Figure 10 Sectional view at point BB; Figure 12 Showing Figure 11 A magnified view of the middle V section.

[0086] like Figure 5 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, the spindle sleeve 45 passes through the inner bore of the spindle front support 14 to allow rotation within the inner bore, and the spindle 46 passes through the inner bore of the spindle sleeve 45. The spindle front support round nut 15 positions the spindle sleeve 45 axially. Figure 12 As shown, the round nut 15 of the spindle front support is fastened to the stepped surface of the spindle sleeve 45, leaving a gap Q between it and the end face of the spindle front support 14, thereby ensuring that the spindle sleeve 45 can rotate within the spindle front support 14. Spacer rings 47 are installed on both sides of the spindle gear 39. The inner hole of the spindle gear 39 is interference-fitted with the spindle sleeve 45.

[0087] like Figure 7and Figure 11 As shown, the gear support 8 is installed in the inner hole of the main shaft gear 39 and has a clearance fit with the outer circle of the main shaft sleeve 45. Furthermore, the gear support 8 can rotate around the outer circle of the main shaft sleeve 45.

[0088] Figure 13 This shows a side view of one embodiment of the crankshaft balance block pre-processing device of the present invention; Figure 14 Showing Figure 13 Enlarged view of section III; Figure 15 Showing Figure 13 Enlarged view of section IV in the middle.

[0089] like Figure 4 and Figure 13 As shown, the spindle drive belt 34 covers the cutter drive shaft 35, for example, on the cutter drive shaft pulley 4 located on the cutter drive shaft 35 and on the spindle sleeve pulley located on the spindle sleeve 45. Additionally, the cutter drive shaft belt 5 covers another cutter drive shaft pulley 4 on the cutter drive shaft 35 and on the cutter shaft pulley on the cutter shaft 18. These components convert the rotation of the spindle 46 into rotation of the cutter shaft 18. Furthermore, as... Figure 14 As shown, the round nut 43 of the milling cutter connecting bracket is fastened to the end face of the milling cutter shaft 18, and an axial clearance M is left between it and the end face of the milling cutter connecting bracket 19 to ensure that the milling cutter shaft 18 can rotate. Figure 15 As shown, the pulley 4 of the milling cutter drive shaft is connected to the milling cutter drive shaft 35 through the pulley round nut 44 and key 36, so as to rotate coaxially with the milling cutter drive shaft.

[0090] Figure 16 The kinematic relationship of the crankshaft balance block pre-processing device described in this invention is indicated in one embodiment.

[0091] like Figure 16 As shown, the crankshaft balance block pre-machining device operates as follows:

[0092] A: Motor 25 drives spindle box 29 to slide along the negative y-axis via lead screw 28;

[0093] B: This causes the ring sleeve 10 to push the feed lever 30, causing the lever 24 to rotate around the z-axis;

[0099] H: The spindle rocker arm lever 33 drives the milling cutter support 16 to rotate clockwise around the y-axis, causing the milling cutter 17 to feed toward the crankshaft.

[0100] When the motor 25 drives the spindle box 29 to slide along the positive y-axis via the lead screw 28, the entire device runs in the opposite direction. The process is similar, so it will not be described in detail here.
