[0003] The numerical control vertical lathe adopts computer control technology, which can ensure the precision and quality of machining, and can meet the requirements of high-precision machining; Compared with the traditional mechanical machining method, the machining speed of the multi-spindle numerical control vertical lathe is faster, which can greatly shorten the machining cycle, improve the production efficiency and capacity, and ensure the precision consistency of multiple workpiece machining.

[0004] However, the existing multi-spindle vertical numerical control lathe simultaneously processes multiple workpieces in the same lathe during machining, and needs to stop the machine tool for a long time during feeding and discharging, which reduces the production efficiency, and manual adjustment of the chuck to clamp the workpiece increases the workload of the feeding and discharging personnel, and cannot guarantee that the interference between the main shafts does not occur when multiple workpieces are machined.

[0012] The workbench is a rectangular block, and two cylindrical limiting blocks are arranged on both sides of the short side of the workbench near the long sides.

[0013] The limiting blocks on the same side of the two workbenches are rotatably connected with the two ends of the connecting rod, so that the same positions of the two workbenches remain unchanged during rotation, and the two connecting rods on both sides of the workbench always remain parallel during rotation, so that the workbench always remains horizontal to the ground; when the gear rotates to control the rotation of the workbench to the working position, the telescopic device is elongated; the elongation of the telescopic device limits the workbench while rotating to the machining workpiece position, provides a pushing force to the chuck device, and clamps the workpiece while rotating and changing position; when the connecting rod rotates 180° around the center, the positions of the limiting blocks of the two workbenches are exchanged, so that the numerical control machine tool completes the simultaneous feeding and discharging process, the structure is simple, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

[0015] The connecting gear is the same as the driven gear, so that the connecting gear is synchronously rotated with the driven gear while the annular protrusion in the connecting rod is rotated by the driven gear, and the connecting gear is located outside the connecting rod, so that the machine tool does not interfere with the normal working process when feeding materials up and down; the workbench is transferred from the inside of the machine tool to the outside when the connecting gear rotates half a circle, the number of teeth of the transmission gear is half of the number of teeth of the connecting gear, so that the transmission gear rotates one circle when the connecting gear rotates half a circle, the telescopic block is pulled to the bottom and then pulled to the upper end to provide a pushing force to the chuck device; the telescopic block is retracted to the bottom end when the connecting rod rotates 90° to make the two workbenches vertically correspond, which does not hinder the rotation and transposition of the workbench; the diameter of the driven gear is greater than half of the length of the connecting rod, so that the upper surface of the telescopic block is lower than the bottom end of the workbench and the chuck device when the telescopic block is retracted to the bottom end, preventing interference with the movement process of the workbench and the chuck device; the rubber inclined blocks provide friction to the telescopic block, supporting the telescopic block and making the pushing of the telescopic block to the chuck device more stable.

[0016] The chuck device comprises a base plate, a claw, a pull rod, a jacking rod, a push plate and a compression spring; the base plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the workbench, a T-shaped groove is formed in the circular array of the upper surface of the base plate, the claw for clamping the workpiece is slidably installed on the base plate, a T-shaped protrusion is arranged on the lower surface of the claw, so that the claw can slide in the T-shaped groove, and the workpiece between the claws is clamped; the two ends of the pull rod are rotationally connected with the claw and the jacking rod respectively, the jacking rod slides up and down in the base plate, and the jacking rod pushes the claw to slide to clamp the workpiece.

[0019] The part of the rectangular protrusion higher than the bottom surface of the base leaves a space to be connected with one end of the pull rod, so that the claw slides along the T-shaped slot in the base when the top rod is subjected to a sliding force; the upper surface of the claw is stepped, the stepped claw can reduce the radial pressure on the workpiece, reduce the clamping mark of the clamped workpiece, and protect the integrity of the workpiece while clamping the workpiece.

[0020] The bottom surface of the base is arrayed with a rectangular sliding groove matched with the rectangular protrusion, the width of the rectangular sliding groove is equal to the width of the rectangular protrusion, the rectangular sliding groove limits the sliding of the rectangular protrusion, preventing the claw from sliding out of the base.

[0021] The part of the rectangular protrusion from the bottom surface of the claw to the bottom surface of the base is limited to slide in the rectangular sliding groove, the limiting effect of the rectangular sliding groove on the rectangular protrusion can prevent the claw from sliding along the T-shaped slot to the center of the base when the compression spring fails, causing wear on the inner side of the claw and reducing the service life of the chuck device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] ​​In order to better understand the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments of the specification.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1 A multi-spindle numerical control vertical special lathe, comprising a numerical control system 1, a lathe shell 2, a protective door 3, a main shaft 4, the numerical control system 1 is installed on the outside of the lathe shell 2, the protective door 3 is slidingly installed at the opening of the lathe shell 2, the main shaft 4 is installed inside the lathe shell 2, the tool below the main shaft 4 processes the workpiece under the program control of the numerical control system 1; it also includes a support assembly 5 and a chuck device 6, the support assembly 5 is controlled to rotate by the numerical control system 1, and the processed parts are rotated to the outside of the machine tool shell, while the unprocessed parts are moved to the inside of the machine tool to start processing; the number of the chuck device 6 is twice the number of the main shaft 4, the chuck device 6 is installed above the support assembly 5, and the workpiece to be processed is clamped by pushing force during loading, and the processed workpiece is released by the elastic force of the compression spring 66.

[0048] Before the multi-spindle numerical control vertical special lathe starts processing, the protective door 3 is slid upward to open, the numerical control system 1 controls the chuck device to clamp the workpiece to be processed, and then controls the support assembly 5 to rotate to rotate the workpiece to be processed to the inside of the machine tool shell for processing; when the machine tool is processing, the protective door 3 is slid downward to close, isolating the inside and outside of the machine tool shell, blocking the flying chips generated during the processing of the workpiece in the protective door 3, preventing harm to the workers, a part of the support assembly 5 and the chuck device installed above it are blocked outside the protective door 3, facilitating the installation of the workpiece to be processed, so that the machine tool can complete the loading process while processing the workpiece, without stopping the operation of the machine tool, improving the production efficiency of the numerical control machine tool.

[0049] As shown in Figures 2 to 7 The support assembly 5 includes a support 51, a rotating shaft 52, a driving gear 53, a connecting rod 54, a workbench 55, a driven gear 56 and an extension device 57; one end of the support 51 is fixedly installed on the inside of the lathe shell 2, the other end of the support 51 is rotatably installed with the rotating shaft 52, the rotating shaft 52 is driven to rotate together with the driving gear 53 fixedly connected at both ends of the rotating shaft 52 through the rotation of the driving structure inside the lathe; the two ends of the connecting rod 54 are respectively rotatably connected with two workbenches 55, the center of the connecting rod 54 is provided with an annular protrusion 541 on the side close to the workbench 55, the inside of the annular protrusion 541 is rotatably connected with the support 51, and the support of the support 51 fixes the position of the center of the connecting rod 54 and the rotating shaft 52; the outside of the annular protrusion 541 is fixedly installed with the driven gear 56, the driven gear 56 drives the two workbenches 55 to rotate with the center of the annular protrusion 541 as the center through the meshing action with the driving gear 53; the extension device 57 is fixedly installed on the inside of the lathe shell 2.

[0050] The middle part of the support 51 passes through the annular protrusion 541 to fix the connecting rod 54 inside the machine tool. When the machine tool is feeding or discharging, the support assembly 5 rotates, the support 51 fixes the positions of the rotating shaft 52 and the center of the connecting rod 54, keeps the center positions of the driving gear 53 and the driven gear 56 unchanged, and makes the engagement of the driving gear 53 and the driven gear 56 more stable. When the machine tool is feeding or discharging, the rotating shaft 52 rotates around the central axis under the driving action of the driving structure inside the lathe. The rotating shaft 52 rotates to drive the driving gear 53 fixedly connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 52 to rotate around the coaxial center. Under the meshing action of the gears, the driving gear 53 on the two sides of the rotating shaft 52 drives the two driven gears 56 to rotate, respectively. The two driven gears 56 on the two sides of the workbench 55 are opposite to the central line of the two driving gears 53 in the axial direction, so that the two driven gears 56 at the two ends rotate in the same direction, and further drive the two connecting rods 54 to rotate around the center as the center in the same direction and at the same frequency. When the two workbenches 55 rotate, they are kept synchronous under the pulling action of the connecting rods 54 when the support assembly 5 rotates to feed. The rotating shaft 52 rotates 180° to realize the position exchange of the two workbenches 55. When the workpiece to be processed is rotated to the inside of the machine tool shell with the workbench 55, the workpiece processed is rotated to the outside of the machine tool shell for convenient replacement by the worker.

[0051] The support assembly 5 completes the transfer of the workpiece under the driving action of the rotating shaft 52. This process makes the feeding and discharging processes of the numerical control machine tool not need to stop the running machine tool for a long time. The workpiece processed in the machine tool is discharged at the same time as the workpiece to be processed is fed to the machine tool, so that the production efficiency of the numerical control machine tool is greatly improved.

[0055] The connecting gear 571 is fixedly connected with the annular protrusion 541, the transmission gear 572 drives the connecting rod 54 to rotate, so that the annular protrusion 541 drives the coaxial rotation of the connecting gear 571, the connecting gear 571 is engaged with the transmission gear 572 to drive the transmission gear 572 to rotate, the cylindrical protrusion 5721 pulls one end of the rotating rod 573 to make the other end of the rotating rod 573 pull the telescopic block 574 to slide up and down in the sliding rail 575, and the rubber inclined blocks 5751 provide friction force to the telescopic block 574 to support the telescopic block 574; when the connecting gear 571 rotates 90°, the transmission gear 572 rotates 180° to pull the telescopic block 574 from the top end to the bottom end; when the connecting gear 571 rotates 180°, the positions of the two worktables 55 inside and outside the machine tool are exchanged, the telescopic block 574 slides from the bottom end to the top end to exert a pushing force on the chuck device 6, so that the worktable 55 position conversion and clamping of the workpiece are realized.

[0057] When the support assembly 5 rotates to make the machine tool blank, the chuck device 6 rotates with the workbench 55 to the outside of the machine tool shell, the extension device 57 in the support assembly 5 cancels the pushing force generated by the top rod 64 under the control of the numerical control system 1, the compression spring 66 pulls the top rod 64 to slide down by the elastic force, the sliding of the top rod 64 drives one end of the pull rod 63 to slide down, thereby the other end of the pull rod 63 pulls the jaw 62 to slide along the T-shaped groove 611 in the base plate 61 to the outside of the base plate 61, so that the jaw 62 releases the workpiece; when the workpiece rotates to the inside of the machine tool, the numerical control system 1 controls the extension device 57 to push the top rod 64 to slide up and press the compression spring 66, drives one end of the pull rod 63 to slide up, so that the other end of the pull rod 63 pulls the jaw 62 to slide along the T-shaped groove 611 in the base plate 61 to the outside of the base plate 61, thereby the jaw 62 clamps the workpiece.

[0058] The chuck device completes the clamping and dismounting process of the workpiece, without the need for manual adjustment of the jaw 62 by the worker, simplifying the cumbersome steps of manual dismounting of the workpiece, and greatly improving the working efficiency of the numerical control machine tool; and the chuck device is automatically clamped by the pushing force, preventing the positional deviation caused by manual adjustment of the clamped workpiece, thereby preventing the mutual interference of the movements between the plurality of spindles 4 of the machine tool, and improving the safety of the multi-spindle numerical control lathe.

[0059] As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the bottom surface of the jaw 62 is provided with a rectangular protrusion 622, the height value of the rectangular protrusion 622 is greater than the length value from the bottom surface of the jaw 62 to the bottom surface of the base plate 61, and the part of the rectangular protrusion 622 higher than the bottom surface of the base plate 61 is rotatably connected with one end of the pull rod 63, the pull rod 63 pulls the rectangular protrusion 622 to make the jaw 62 slide in the base plate 61 to clamp or release the workpiece.

[0060] The bottom surface of the base plate 61 is arrayed with rectangular sliding grooves 612 matched with the rectangular protrusions 622, the width of the rectangular sliding groove 612 is equal to the width of the rectangular protrusion 622, and the rectangular sliding groove 612 limits the sliding of the rectangular protrusion 622 to prevent the jaw 62 from sliding out of the base plate 61.

[0061] When the chuck device clamps the workpiece, the push rod 64 is pushed upward to slide, the rectangular block 622 is limited to slide in the rectangular sliding groove 612 on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 61 by the pull rod 63, the T-shaped block of the claw 62 is driven to slide along the T-shaped groove 611 to the outside of the bottom plate 61, which prevents the push rod 64 from sliding downward to damage the compression spring 66 and cause abrasion to the inside of the claw 62 when the compression spring 66 fails; when the chuck device releases the workpiece, it also prevents the claw 62 from sliding out of the bottom plate 61 along the T-shaped groove 611 under the elastic force of the compression spring 66, which ensures the safety of the lathe operation.

[0062] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the outside of the push rod 64 is arrayed with a connecting block 641, and the bottom end of the push rod 64 is coaxially provided with a top plate 642, which drives the push rod 64 to move, so that the connecting block 641 pulls one end of the pull rod 63 to slide, and then the claw 62 clamps the workpiece, and the bottom end of the push rod 64 is provided with a circular hole 643, and the inside of the circular hole 643 is provided with a friction rubber strip 644.

[0063] When the chuck device clamps the workpiece, the telescopic device 57 pushes the top plate 642, the top plate 642 exerts pressure on the compression spring 66 to compress the compression spring 66, the top plate 642 slides upward to drive the push rod 64 and the connecting block 641 to slide upward, the connecting block 641 drives one end of the pull rod 63 to slide upward, the other end of the pull rod 63 pulls the claw 62 to slide in the bottom plate 61 to the direction away from the push rod 64, and the chuck device clamps the workpiece; when the chuck device releases the workpiece, the telescopic device 57 retracts, the pushing force of the supporting assembly 5 on the top plate 642 disappears, the compression spring 66 pulls the top plate 642 under the gravity of the push plate 65, the top plate 642 drives the push rod 64 to slide downward, the other end of the pull rod 63 pushes the claw 62 to slide in the bottom plate 61 to the direction close to the push rod 64 to complete the unloading process, and the working efficiency of the numerical control machine tool is improved.

[0064] The center of the upper surface of the push plate 65 is provided with a circular rod 652, the diameter of the circular rod 652 is the same as that of the circular hole 643, the circular rod 652 slides in the circular hole 643 at the bottom end of the push rod 64 when the push rod 64 moves downward, so that the circular rod 652 guides the sliding of the push rod 64 and limits the compression spring 66; the outer surface of the circular rod 652 is provided with a friction rubber strip 644, and the friction rubber strip 644 is serrated.

[0065] After the machining is completed, the telescopic device 57 is retracted, the pushing force of the chuck device disappears, the friction rubber strip 644 on the outer wall of the circular rod 652 and the inside of the circular hole 643 is in contact to produce friction, which buffers the stretching process of the compression spring 66, slows down the process of releasing the workpiece by the chuck device, and increases the safety of the device.

[0066] As Figure 6 The bottom surface of the workbench 55 is provided with a through hole 552, the center of the through hole 552 is circular with a diameter equal to that of the top rod 64, the outer side of the through hole 552 is rectangular in circular array, the position of the rectangular corresponds to the position of the pull rod 63, the through hole 552 provides a space for the pull rod 63 and the top rod 64 to move, preventing interference with the clamping process of the chuck device 6.

[0067] When the machine tool works, the workbench 55 provides support force for the chuck device 6, the up and down sliding of the top rod 64 drives the rotation of the pull rod 63, the pull rod 63 and the top rod 64 pass through the workbench 55 through the through hole 552, the through hole 552 provides a space for the rotation of the pull rod 63, and the through hole 552 limits the movement of the top rod 64, when the chuck device clamps and releases the workpiece, the safety of the multi-spindle numerical control lathe during feeding and discharging is improved.

[0068] In the working process of the present application, the numerical control system 1 controls the rotation of the rotating shaft 52 to make the workbench 55 inside and outside the machine tool rotate and exchange positions, when the positions of the two workbenches 55 are vertically rotated to horizontal, the telescopic device 57 is extended to push the top rod 64, the clamping jaw 62 is slid along the T-shaped groove 611 to clamp the workpiece to be processed, and the workpiece to be processed is rotated to the inside of the machine tool housing for processing; after the machine tool completes processing, the numerical control system 1 controls the rotation of the rotating shaft 52 to drive the rotation of the workbench 55, and at the same time drives the telescopic device 57 to retract through the gear, so that the pushing force applied in the chuck device disappears, under the action of the elastic force of the compression spring 66 and the gravity of the push plate 65, the top rod 64 slides downward, the clamping jaw 62 slides outward along the T-shaped groove 611, the workpiece is released, and is rotated to the outside of the machine tool housing to reinstall the workpiece to be processed, this process is carried out at the same time as the processing of the machine tool, so that the machine tool can disassemble and clamp the workpiece without stopping running, reducing the time required for the multi-spindle numerical control machine tool to install multiple workpieces, and improving the production efficiency of the numerical control machine tool.
