AI Technical Summary
When machining products with high frames and long Z-axis, the ram of the bridge-type machine tool spindle box is prone to deformation, which leads to changes in the center of gravity and lateral tilting, affecting the structural rigidity and dynamic stability. It is difficult to enhance the rigidity by adding external support in the traditional way.
The structure employs unloading auxiliary beams and load-bearing mechanisms, providing rotational and linear degrees of freedom through upper and lower hinged structures and elastic components. The elastic components utilize their expansion and contraction characteristics to output reaction forces, counteracting the overturning tendency of the main spindle box. This, combined with the unloading auxiliary beams, counteracts changes in overturning moment and enhances structural rigidity.
It effectively enhances the structural rigidity of the spindle box, improves dynamic stability, and counteracts the changes in overturning moment of the spindle box during movement, thus ensuring the stability and accuracy of the machining process.

[0036] The unloading auxiliary beam 13 is fixed parallel to one side of the crossbeam 1, and a channel for the movement of the spindle box is formed between the unloading auxiliary beam 13 and the crossbeam 1.
[0037] The load-bearing mechanism includes an upper hinge structure, a lower hinge structure, and an elastic component 5.

The elastic component 5 is in a pre-compressed state.
[0038] Specifically, by using the elastic component 5 as the core element, combined with the upper and lower hinge structures to provide rotational freedom, the elastic component 5 is always subjected to axial force during the overturning process of the spindle box. The linear freedom of the elastic component 5's extension and contraction provides displacement change, so that the compressed elastic component 5 outputs a larger reaction force to offset the overturning tendency brought about by the load, realizing the reaction force output of the load-bearing mechanism.

[0051] In this embodiment, the elastic component 5 is a nitrogen spring, and the cylinder rod and the top block are gap-fitted with the central through hole.
[0052] Specifically, the central through hole of the rotating shaft 8 is provided with a gap hole face cooperating with the top block 14 and a gap hole face cooperating with the elastic component 5.
[0053] In this embodiment, the traction plate 10 is further included, and the upper and lower ends of the traction plate 10 are connected to the support arm 7 and the base 9 respectively.
[0054] Specifically, the traction plate 10 is Z-shaped, and the bending part of the traction plate 10 is foldable. The Z-shaped structure of the traction plate 10 can adapt to the relative movement of the base 9 and the support arm 7, and the support plate can avoid the dislocation movement of the load force mechanism along the rotating shaft 8.
[0055] Further, the traction plate 10 is strong in horizontal direction and weak in vertical direction, which can protect the two hinged structures and the elastic component 5 from horizontal shear force and avoid interfering with the extension and contraction of the elastic component 5.
[0056] In this embodiment, the first bolt 11 is further included, and the shank part of the first bolt 11 is connected to the top block 14 through the shaft seat 4.
[0057] Specifically, the top block 14 and the shaft seat 4 are connected by the first bolt 11, so that the compression pre-tightening force of the elastic component 5 can be changed by adjusting the distance between the top block 14 and the shaft seat 4, and the dislocation movement of the top block 14 and the shaft seat 4 along the rotating shaft 8 is avoided, so that the radial deformation of the cylinder rod and the cylinder body of the elastic component 5 is avoided, and the axial stress of the cylinder rod is ensured.

[0062] Further, the number of the second bolts 12 is two, and the connecting line of the two second bolts 12 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 8.
[0063] In the embodiment, the profiled curved surface is arranged on the upper side of the unloading auxiliary beam 13, the slide rail is arranged on the profiled curved surface, and the lower end of the base 9 is in sliding cooperation with the slide rail.
[0064] Specifically, the profiled curved surface of the unloading auxiliary beam 13 is a stress surface, and the pre-machining after profiling (for example, a wave, a circular arc, etc.) is obtained according to the deformation condition after the load action, and the main shaft box is dynamically stable in the movement process along the cross beam 1 by cooperating with the load mechanism.
[0065] In the embodiment, the main shaft box load device for the bridge type machine tool is used, and the movement along the cross beam 1 is taken as an example. When the slide plate 3 of the main shaft box has a deformation trend under the overturning force of the slide rest 2, the overturning force is applied to the load mechanism by the supporting arm 7. The load mechanism takes the elastic component 5 as a core element, utilizes the compact structure, stable work and maintenance-free characteristics of the elastic component 5, provides the rotation freedom degree by combining the two hinged structures formed by the rotating shaft 8 and the shaft seat 4, further provides the displacement change amount by cooperating with the linear freedom degree of the elastic component 5, realizes the reaction force output of the load mechanism, and the elastic component 5 outputs greater reaction force after compression to offset the overturning trend caused by the load.
