[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a bending joint turning equipment device, including a worktable 14, a machining chamber 3, a CNC turning assembly, a clamp and a limiter. The machining chamber 3 is fixed on the upper side of the worktable 14. The CNC turning assembly and the limiter are respectively fixed on the left and right ends of the machining chamber 3. The clamp is installed in the middle of the machining chamber 3 and is coaxially arranged with the limiter. It is used to clamp the workpiece, adjust the tilt angle of the workpiece and drive the workpiece to rotate.

[0020] The limiter includes a limit ring 12, multiple arc-shaped push plates 24, and an adjuster. The push plates 24 are placed inside the limit ring 12 and are coaxially arranged with the limit ring 12. Multiple elastic plates 19 are fixed radially on the concave surface of the push plates 24. The adjuster is fixed in the middle of the convex surface of the push plates 24. The free end of the adjuster passes through the inner and outer sides of the limit ring 12 and is used to adjust the distance between the push plates 24 and the limit ring 12.

[0021] The CNC turning assembly is existing technology and is the same as the CNC turning assembly used in the CK6150 CNC machine tool (ordinary type). It includes a control console 1 and a mounting arm 2. The operator can install various suitable turning tools or drill rods on the mounting arm 2 and control the movement of the mounting arm 2 through the control console 1 to turn the workpiece.

[0022] Firstly, the workpiece is turned to form a shaft, the turned shaft is the first shaft 11, and the un-turned shaft is the second shaft 7. Then, the connector holds the joint of the first shaft 11 and the second shaft 7 and adjusts the inclination angle of the whole workpiece, so that the second shaft 7 is in a horizontal state and the first shaft 11 is inclined. At the same time, the right end of the first shaft 11 is placed in the limiting ring 12, and the distance between each push plate 24 and the limiting ring 12 is adjusted by the adjuster, so that the right end of the first shaft 11 always presses the elastic plate 19 to make the elastic plate 19 bend. Then, the connector drives the workpiece to rotate, at this time, the second shaft 7 rotates coaxially with the connector on the horizontal plane, and the first shaft 11 rotates eccentrically. During the rotation of the first shaft 11, the right end of the first shaft 11 makes a circular motion around the center of the limiting ring 12 and constantly presses the surrounding elastic plate 19. Through the resistance and resilience of the elastic plate 19, the centrifugal force in the rotation process of the first shaft 11 is overcome, so that the whole workpiece will not be unstable due to excessive centrifugal force during rotation. At this time, the second shaft 7 of the workpiece can be processed by using the turning equipment of the ordinary numerical control machine tool, and the five-axis numerical control lathe is no longer needed, so the processing efficiency is high and the cost is low.

[0023] The adjuster includes a screw rod 22 and an adjusting disc 23. One end of the screw rod 22 is fixedly connected with the push plate 24, and the other end penetrates through the inner and outer sides of the limiting ring 12 and is placed outside the limiting ring 12. The adjusting disc 23 is threadedly sleeved on the screw rod 22 and is bearing-connected with the limiting ring 12. A plurality of first limiting columns 21 are fixedly arranged on the side of the adjusting disc 23 away from the limiting ring 12 along the edge of the adjusting disc 23. The limiting ring 12 is rotatably sleeved with an adjusting ring 13. One end edge of the adjusting ring 13 is fixedly provided with a plurality of second limiting columns 20. The first limiting columns 21 can be embedded in the gaps between the second limiting columns 20. The first limiting columns 21 and the second limiting columns 20 are both cylindrical. The axis of the first limiting column 21 is perpendicular to the surface of the adjusting disc 23. The axis of the second limiting column 20 is perpendicular to the axis of the first limiting column 21.

[0024] Since all the first limiting columns 21 are fixedly arranged at intervals along the edge of the adjusting disc 23 to form a circle, and the first limiting columns 21 can be embedded in the gaps between the second limiting columns 20, when the adjusting ring 13 rotates, the second limiting columns 20 are driven to move, which pushes the first limiting columns 21 to move, thereby driving the adjusting disc 23 to rotate. The rotation of the adjusting disc 23 drives the screw rod 22 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the distance between the push plate 24 and the limiting ring 12, and adjusting the distance between the end of the elastic plate 19 and the center of the limiting ring 12 as much as possible, so that the end of the first shaft 11 located in the limiting ring 12 is always in the gap between the elastic plates 19. When the workpiece rotates, the end of the first shaft 11 makes a circular motion along the concave surface of the push plate 24 (the center of the limiting ring 12). Under the resistance and resilience of the elastic plate 19, the centrifugal force in the rotation process of the first shaft 11 is overcome, so that the clamping is stable.

[0025] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the clamp includes a rotating drum 9, a three-jaw chuck 10, a positioner, a motor 6, the three-jaw chuck 10 is arranged in the middle of the rotating drum 9 and coaxially arranged with the rotating drum 9, two rotating columns 18 are symmetrically connected to the inner side wall of the rotating drum 9, the free end of the rotating column 18 is fixedly connected with the side surface of the three-jaw chuck 10, the upper and lower ends of the inner side wall of the rotating drum 9 are fixedly provided with a positioner, the free end of the positioner is in abutment with the three-jaw chuck 10, the two ends of the rotating drum 9 are rotatably provided with a guide ring, the middle part is fixedly provided with a transmission ring, the motor 6 is fixedly arranged on the outer top side of the machining chamber 3, the output end of the motor 6 is fixedly provided with a transmission wheel, the transmission wheel and the transmission ring are connected through a conveying belt 5 and the conveying belt 5 penetrates through the upper side of the machining chamber 3; the rotating column 18 and the positioner are not in the same vertical plane.

[0026] The three-jaw chuck 10 is a prior art, a three-jaw chuck 10 manufactured by Sanjiang Company with a model of 3B-10A6 is adopted, the three-jaw chuck 10 is used to clamp the connecting part of the first shaft 11 and the second shaft 7, then the positioners are synchronously adjusted to extend and shrink respectively, the three-jaw chuck 10 is rotated around the rotating column 18, and since the rotating column 18 and the positioner are not in the same vertical plane, the three-jaw chuck 10 will not rotate without adjusting the positioner to extend or shrink, the inclination angle of the three-jaw chuck 10 is fixed, then the motor 6 is started to drive the transmission wheel to rotate, thereby driving the rotating drum 9 to rotate in the guide ring and driving the three-jaw chuck 10 and the workpiece to rotate.

[0027] The positioner includes a fixed base 15, an extension rod 16 and a nut 17, the base 15 is fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the rotating drum 9, the extension rod 16 is slidingly inserted into one end of the base 15 away from the rotating drum 9, the nut 17 is threadedly sleeved on the extension rod 16 and bearing-connected to one end of the base 15, and the end of the extension rod 16 away from the base 15 is a round head.

[0028] Rotating the nut 17 can make the screw rod 22 extend or shrink, so when adjusting the extension or shrink degree of the screw rod 22, the adjusters at the upper and lower ends should be synchronously adjusted to avoid the angle of extension or shrink at the two ends being inconsistent, thereby causing the three-jaw chuck 10 to be unable to be stably fixed, and the end of the extension rod 16 close to the three-jaw chuck 10 is a round head, so the abutment between the extension rod 16 and the three-jaw chuck 10 is point-to-point contact, no matter how the three-jaw chuck 10 is inclined, the extension rod 16 can be in close contact with the three-jaw chuck 10, and the three-jaw chuck 10 will not be unstable in positioning due to the irregular protrusions on the surface of the workpiece.

[0029] The guide ring comprises locating rings 8 and support columns 4, one end of each locating ring 8 is provided with a flange extending inwardly, the edges of both ends of the rotating drum 9 respectively abut against the flanges of the two locating rings 8, and one support column 4 is fixed to each of the upper and lower ends of each locating ring 8, and the free ends of the support columns 4 at the upper and lower ends are respectively fixedly connected with the upper side wall of the processing chamber 3 and the workbench 14.

[0030] The rotating drum 9 is sleeved with the locating rings 8 at both ends, and under the limitation of the flanges, it can be ensured that the rotating drum 9 will not move left and right when rotating.

[0031] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limiting. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions of the present application, and they should all be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
