TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of workpiece machining equipment, in particular to a numerical control machining center capable of quickly switching drill bits. BACKGROUND
[0002] Metal workpieces need to use molds during stamping and other processing steps to shape the workpieces into the required shape. In order to obtain the mold, a high-precision device, such as a numerical control machining center, is needed to manufacture the machining mold. The conventional machining center can only use a single drill bit during each processing, and the drill bit needs to be replaced manually after the machining center is stopped. To solve this problem, a machining center capable of quickly switching drill bits is needed.
[0003] For example, the existing production line for part mold machining and its machining process disclosed in CN113001196A has multiple drill bits arranged on a rotatable mounting frame. After the output shaft of the driving motor is driven by the cylinder to move away from the corresponding rotating head, the mounting frame can be rotated to quickly replace the drill bits.
[0004] In view of the related technology in the above, the mounting frame is vertical, so that the processing drill bit is also vertical, which is suitable for planing, milling, and drilling on the upper surface of the workpiece. However, in the case of lathe processing, which requires turning the vertical side surface of the workpiece, if the mounting frame is placed flat to improve the installation of the corresponding lathe equipment, it will occupy more space in the horizontal plane, which will greatly affect the movement stroke of the drill bit, and the type of workpiece processing will be severely limited, making it difficult to adapt to the quick switching and modification of the drill bit. SUMMARY
[0005] In order to adapt to the quick switching and modification of the drill bit for the lathe, the present application provides a numerical control machining center capable of quickly switching drill bits.
[0006] The numerical control machining center capable of quickly switching drill bits provided by the present application adopts the following technical solution.
[0007] A numerical control machining center capable of quickly switching drill bits, comprising a lathe main body, a fixed frame arranged in the lathe main body apron box and moving synchronously, a tool changing ring rotatably connected to the fixed frame and having a rotation axis consistent with the moving direction of the fixed frame, a tool changing motor arranged in the fixed frame and driving the tool changing ring to rotate, a plurality of drill bits uniformly arranged on the outer circular surface of the tool changing ring and capable of processing workpieces, a plurality of sleeve shafts rotatably connected to the inner circular surface of the tool changing ring and corresponding to all the drill bits, a power motor arranged in the fixed frame and capable of driving a corresponding sleeve shaft to rotate, a plurality of vertical bevel gears rotatably connected to the tool changing ring and driven to rotate by all the sleeve shafts, and a plurality of flat bevel gears rotatably connected to the tool changing ring and meshing with all the vertical bevel gears, each flat bevel gear being capable of driving a corresponding drill bit to rotate.
[0008] By adopting the technical scheme, the power output direction of the power motor output shaft can be changed from the vertical plane to the horizontal plane, the fixed frame and the tool changing ring can be kept in the vertical installation state, so that the quick tool changing modification of the lathe can be realized, and the stroke of the slide box of the lathe is not easily affected.
[0009] Optionally, the fixed frame is detachably connected to the lathe body, the tool changing ring comprises a main ring provided with the shaft sleeves and rotatably connected to the fixed frame, a split ring provided with the vertical bevel gears and the flat bevel gears and detachably connected to the main ring, a plurality of flat inserts rotatably connected to the split ring and coaxially fixedly connected to all the vertical bevel gears, and a plurality of vertical sleeves rotatably connected to the main ring and coaxially fixedly connected to all the shaft sleeves, each flat insert can be inserted into a corresponding vertical sleeve along the main ring rotation axis, and the cross section of the flat insert is rectangular.
[0010] By adopting the technical scheme, the fixed frame can be detachably installed on the corresponding lathe or milling machine or drilling machine according to the needs, the split ring can be detached from the main ring, and the modification for different equipment can be realized, so that the application range is wider.
[0011] Optionally, the split ring is rotatably connected to a plurality of flat sleeves coaxially fixedly connected to all the flat bevel gears, the drill bit can be inserted into a corresponding flat sleeve along the radial direction of the main ring or inserted into a corresponding vertical sleeve along the axial direction of the main ring, and the flat sleeve and the vertical sleeve can be detachably connected to the tool fixing block for fastening the drill bit.
[0012] By adopting the technical scheme, the drill bit corresponding to the flat sleeve and the vertical sleeve can be installed similarly, so that the same specification drill bit can be used for installation in different use cases.
[0013] Optionally, the abutting position of the tool fixing block and the drill bit is formed with a pressure inclined surface, and the tool fixing block can be inserted into the flat sleeve and the vertical sleeve.
[0014] By adopting the technical scheme, the tool fixing block can conveniently and stably fix the drill bit.
[0015] Optionally, the inner circle of the split ring is fixedly connected with a positioning strip which can be inserted into the outer circle of the main ring along the axial direction of the main ring.
[0016] By adopting the technical scheme, the split ring can be accurately matched with the main ring, and the split ring does not need to be rotated and adjusted after being sleeved on the main ring.
[0017] Optionally, the outer circle of the main ring is fixedly connected with a circumferential piece which can abut against and detachably connect to the end surface of the split ring.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the axial force borne by the split ring can be distributed to a portion of the ring circumferential piece, so that the flat insert and the vertical assembly are less likely to bear excessive horizontal force.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, even if the plug cannot be aligned with the sleeve shaft and inserted smoothly when the power motor moves toward the corresponding sleeve shaft, the plug can still be rotated to retract into the output shaft sleeve. It is not necessary to completely align the sleeve shaft and the plug before the power motor moves, which makes it easier to quickly change drill bits during the processing and helps to improve processing efficiency.
[0021] Optionally, the output shaft of the power motor is coaxially fixedly connected to an inner rod located inside the output shaft sleeve, and the inner rod is inserted into the plug.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner rod of the sleeve can also drive the insert to rotate synchronously during drill bit processing, making it less likely for the output shaft sleeve and the insert to withstand large torsional forces.
[0023] Optionally, ladder blocks are fixedly connected to all four sides of the flat plug-in, and the width of the ladder blocks is smaller the further away from the flat plug-in they are connected to.
[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the flat insert can be more easily and completely inserted into the vertical kit, so as to make a detachable connection between the split ring and the main ring.
[0025] Optionally, the outer circle of the main ring is provided with an outer circle magnet, and a positioning magnet that can be close to the outer circle magnet can be detachably connected to the side of the vertical assembly away from the opening of the flat plug.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the opening of the vertical component faces the flat insert, the positioning magnet can approach the outer circular magnet for attraction, so that the vertical component is less likely to rotate at this time, so that the flat insert can be inserted into the vertical component.
[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0028] 1. The lathe can be modified to perform quick tool changes without significantly affecting the travel of the lathe's apron.
[0029] 2. The sleeve shaft and the insert need not be completely aligned before the power motor moves, which facilitates quick replacement of drill bits during processing and improves processing efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The tool changing ring 3 includes a main ring 55 rotatably connected to the fixed frame 2 and a split ring 56 coaxially sleeved on the main ring 55. The circumferential inner ring of the main ring 55 is coaxially fixedly connected with a ring gear 35.

The inner surface of the split ring 56 is uniformly fixedly connected with a plurality of positioning bars 43 around the axis thereof. The positioning bars 43 are inserted into the main ring 55 along the axis of the split ring 56. The circumferential inner wall of the main ring 55 is rotatably connected with a sleeve shaft 5 corresponding to each drill bit 4. The rotation axis of the sleeve shaft 5 passes through the axis of the main ring 55. The axis of the sleeve shaft 5 with the lowest height is consistent with the axis of the power motor 53. The power motor 53 is slidingly connected to the fixed frame 2 in the vertical direction. The fixed frame 2 is fixedly connected with a tool changing cylinder 45 capable of driving the power motor 53 to move vertically.
[0040] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The output shaft of the power motor 53 is coaxially fixedly connected with an output shaft sleeve 46. The bottom end of the output shaft sleeve 46 is coaxially sleeved with an insert 47. The horizontal cross section of the insert 47 is rectangular.
