Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of machining and manufacturing mechanical parts, and specifically proposes a spin forming device for a numerically controlled machine tool. Background Art

[0002] Spin forming is a forming process, which is mostly used in metal forming. During the process, the metal material is rotated to obtain processing force points from point to line and from line to surface. At the same time, pressure is applied in a certain direction to make the metal material deform and flow along this direction to produce plastic deformation. In actual processing, the spinning process is carried out by a spinning wheel or together with the corresponding spinning mold. For metal parts with simple axisymmetric structures such as cylinders and cones, generally no mold is required. The desired shape can be pressed only by moving the spinning wheel along the surface of the metal part.

[0003] When processing certain spin-formed parts, it is necessary to ensure the processing accuracy and surface forming quality of metal parts. Under the existing technology, in order to improve the processing accuracy and processing efficiency, they are generally processed and manufactured by CNC machine tools dedicated to spin forming. However, in the actual processing process, there are still the following multiple factors that affect the final spin forming quality of metal parts, as described below: 1) In the existing equipment, most of them use a single spinning wheel for feeding spin forming, and the single spinning wheel applies force at a single point and on one side. The force on the workpiece being processed is unbalanced, and the processing stability is poor, which will affect the spinning quality of the workpiece. For example, the unbalanced force will cause the shape of the workpiece to deviate from the designed shape, and the surface of the workpiece is prone to indentations, ripples, and unevenness, which will aggravate the unevenness of the spinning extension thickness of the workpiece.

[0004] 2) When the processing workshop or the storage area of ​​the workpiece blanks is in a dusty environment, the surface of the workpiece blanks will be contaminated with oil, dust and other impurities. Before spinning, if the surface of the workpiece blanks is not cleaned or cleaned insufficiently, the contact friction between the surface of the workpiece and the spinning wheel will increase during the spinning process, which will cause indentations and uneven surface defects on the surface of the workpiece, and will also cause uneven surface and abnormal deformation of the workpiece.

[0005] 3) During the spinning process, the extrusion friction between the spinning wheel and the workpiece will generate a lot of heat. If the workpiece is not effectively cooled, it will cause quality defects such as surface oxidation and thermal deformation of the workpiece. Summary of the invention

[0034] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, a cleaning assembly 44 for cleaning the surface of the workpiece 6 is mounted on the rotating wheel frame 41, and the cleaning assembly 44 is farther away from the spindle end of the CNC machine tool than the rotating wheel 42; the cleaning assembly 44 includes a roller frame 441, on which two guide rods 442 are welded to slide with the rotating wheel frame 41, and the guide rods 442 are axially arranged parallel to the radial direction of the slewing bearing 31, and a tension spring 443 is sleeved on the guide rods 442, and the two ends of the tension spring 443 are respectively welded to the rotating wheel frame 41 and the roller frame 441, and a cleaning roller 444 is horizontally rotatably mounted on the end of the roller frame 441 that is away from the guide rods 442, and the rotation axis direction of the cleaning roller 444 is arranged parallel to the central axis of the slewing bearing 31; the roller brush part of the cleaning roller 444 is made of nylon bristles.

In order to facilitate the sliding adjustment and positioning of the slide plate 331, in this embodiment, a waist-shaped hole for the fixing bolt to pass through is provided on the slide plate 331, and the fixing bolt is loosened, and the limiting position of the limit plate 332 is adjusted by adjusting the position of the slide plate 331.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the auxiliary feeding mechanism 5 is mounted on the serial frame 22; the auxiliary feeding mechanism 5 includes a push assembly 51, which includes an electric hydraulic cylinder 511 horizontally fixed on the connecting plate 222 by bolts, a stroke plate 512 is fixed on the output end of the electric hydraulic cylinder 511, and two side plates 221 are welded with slide rails 223 extending along the axial moving direction of the frame 2, and two sliding bars 513 are welded on the stroke plate 512 and are slidably mounted on the two slide rails 223 in a one-to-one correspondence. A flip motor 52 is horizontally fixedly mounted on the stroke plate 512 through a motor fixing plate, and the output shaft of the flip motor 52 is vertically arranged relative to the sliding direction of the stroke plate 512; an electric chuck 53 for internally supporting and clamping the workpiece is fixed on the output shaft of the flip motor 52, and the flip motor 52 drives the electric chuck 53 to flip and switch between three positions of vertical upward, horizontal and vertical downward, and when the electric chuck 53 is in a horizontal state, the central axis of the electric chuck 53 coincides with the central axis of the slewing bearing 31. It should be noted that the flip motor 52 is an existing servo motor with an internally installed brake locking structure, and under the existing technology, the servo motor can achieve precise rotation in three angular directions of 0°, 90° and 180°, and the electric chuck 53 is an existing electric internal support clamping device; the electric chuck 53 is provided with three internal support rods 531 with a square vertical cross-section, the internal support rod 531 is a hollow structure, and is designed to be extended, and a plurality of air holes connected to the inner cavity of the internal support rod 531 are provided on the end face facing away from the center of the electric chuck 53, and the plurality of air holes are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the electric chuck 53, and cooling air is introduced into the internal support rod 531 from the outside through an air pipe and discharged from the air holes.

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the present invention provides a spin forming device for a CNC machine tool, which can be installed in an existing CNC machine tool dedicated to spin forming, and can be used for Figure 7 A type of axially symmetrical workpiece 6 shown is subjected to rapid spin forming, and the specific working process is as follows: first, the flip motor 52 is started and drives the electric chuck 53 to flip to a vertically upward position, then, the workpiece 6 can be placed on the disk of the electric chuck 53 manually or by a robot, and the disk is automatically aligned with the end of the workpiece 6. Then, the electric chuck 53 clamps the workpiece 6 through three inner support rods 531. In the inner support clamping state, the flip motor 52 drives the electric chuck 53 to flip to a horizontal state, so that the workpiece 6 is automatically aligned with the spindle of the CNC machine tool.

[0037] Next, the electric hydraulic cylinder 511 drives the stroke plate 512 to move toward the chuck end close to the spindle of the CNC machine tool, and then pushes the workpiece 6 into the spindle chuck of the CNC machine tool. At this time, the workpiece 6 is clamped by the inner support of the electric chuck 53 and aligned with the disk surface. The spindle chuck clamps the workpiece 6, ensuring the axial and radial positioning accuracy of the workpiece 6 after fixed clamping. Subsequently, the inner support rod 531 releases the clamping of the inner wall of the workpiece 6 to make way for the spinning feed process.

[0038] Subsequently, the stepper motor drives the rotary bearing 31 to rotate, and then drives the three rotating wheel assemblies 4 to approach the workpiece 6, so that the bristles of the cleaning roller 444 are effectively attached to the outer wall of the workpiece 6, and the rotating wheel 42 is in a position close to and tangent to the workpiece 6. It should be noted that at the starting position of the spinning process, the cleaning roller 444 is in contact with the large radius cylindrical section of the workpiece 6, thereby ensuring that the cleaning roller 444 is in full coverage contact with the spinning forming section of the processing target during the spinning process.

[0039] Next, spin forming is performed. It should be noted that in the existing processing process, in order to ensure the rationality of the spinning feed amount and the quality of the spinning forming, the rough spinning forming is generally performed first, and then the fine spinning forming is performed, that is, the spinning forming operation is divided into at least two times. Figure 2 As shown, according to the displacement and feed amounts pre-input into the CNC machine tool, on the one hand, driven by the CNC machine tool, the axial frame 2 drives the auxiliary feeding mechanism 5 together with the workpiece 6 to move away from the spindle chuck end to perform axial displacement; on the other hand, driven synchronously by the slewing bearing 31, the three rotating wheels 42 synchronously feed radially; under the axial uniform displacement, the rough spinning forming of the workpiece 6 is completed, and during the rough spinning forming process, the bristles of the cleaning roller 444 are kept in close contact with the surface of the workpiece 6, and the workpiece 6 rotates at a high speed driven by the rotation of the spindle chuck, and the cleaning roller 444 brushes and cleans the surface of the workpiece 6, thereby achieving circumferential cleaning. At the same time, during the axial movement, the cleaning roller 444 cleans the surface of the workpiece 6 in the axial direction, and then comprehensively completes the cleaning of the entire spinning section surface of the workpiece 6. Combined with Figure 5 , Figure 1The middle cleaning roller 444 is located to the left of the rotary wheel 42. Therefore, in summary, after the surface cleaning is completed, the rotary wheel 42 is in contact with the surface of the workpiece 6 for spinning; with the help of synchronous cleaning during the spinning displacement process, the cleanliness of the surface of the workpiece 6 is ensured, and the quality of the workpiece 6 spin-formed due to the surface of the workpiece 6 not being cleaned or not being effectively cleaned is avoided. In addition, during the spinning process, the inner support rod 531 is kept continuously supplied with cooling air, and the inner support rod 531 is synchronously displaced in the cavity of the workpiece 6 with the spinning process, and cooling air is continuously introduced into the tube of the workpiece 6, thereby synchronously cooling the workpiece 6; during the spinning process, the spinning forming process is performed through three circumferentially evenly distributed rotary wheels 42, which avoids single-point unilateral force, can form a balanced force focused on the center of the spindle, and effectively reduces the various forming quality defects of the workpiece 6 caused by unbalanced force.

[0040] Subsequently, the axial frame 2 is reset to perform another spin forming operation. When the spin forming operation is performed again, the radial feed amount is increased, and the cleaning roller 444 has completed the cleaning of the surface of the processed workpiece 6 during a round of rough spin forming, and there is no need to clean it again. Therefore, when the cleaning component 44 and the rotating wheel 42 are further displaced with the rotating wheel frame 41, the roller frame 441 moves to a position in contact with the limit plate 332, and then the cleaning roller 444 is fixed in the radial direction of the slewing bearing 31. At this time, the bristles of the cleaning roller 444 are basically in a separated state from the surface of the rough spin forming section, avoiding further extrusion contact between the bristles of the cleaning roller 444 and the surface of the processed workpiece 6. Because when the taper of the cone section of the processed workpiece 6 is large, if the bristles of the cleaning roller 444 further contact the surface of the processed workpiece 6, the bristles will be severely extruded and deformed, and will also accelerate wear, affecting the subsequent normal cleaning use.

[0041] When the workpiece 6 has completed multiple spin forming operations and reached the designed shape, the spin forming operation is completed. Subsequently, the axial frame 2 and the rotary wheel assembly 4 are reset, and the inner support rod 531 further extends into the cavity of the workpiece 6. When the inner support rod 531 completes the inner support clamping again, the spindle chuck is released, and the electric hydraulic cylinder 511 is started again, and the workpiece 6 is driven to move out from the spindle chuck end through the electric chuck 53. Then, the flip motor 52 drives the electric chuck 53 to flip to a vertical downward state and releases the clamping, so that the formed workpiece 6 automatically completes unloading.

[0042] The present invention provides a spin forming device for a CNC machine tool, which can be installed in an existing spin forming CNC machine tool for spin forming, and is used for spin forming a metal workpiece 6 with an axially symmetrical structure; the device is provided with a plurality of spinning wheels 42 which are circumferentially distributed around the main axis of the CNC machine tool and can be synchronously radially fed, so as to ensure the balance and stability of the spin forming force of the workpiece 6, and each spinning wheel 42 is correspondingly installed with a cleaning component 44, which can synchronously and pre-complete the comprehensive and automatic cleaning of the surface of the workpiece 6 by means of the spin forming displacement and the spindle driving the workpiece 6 to rotate, so as to avoid the impurities attached to the surface of the workpiece 6 from affecting the forming process; in addition, it is also equipped with an auxiliary feeding mechanism 5, which uses the auxiliary feeding mechanism 5 to complete the end alignment, grasping, and relative The pushing and feeding of the main shaft and the unloading operation after spin forming improve the processing efficiency while ensuring the positioning accuracy of the workpiece 6 in the axial and radial directions. A wind cooling structure is provided on the inner support rod 531 located on the electric chuck 53, which can realize wind cooling synchronously with the spin forming process after extending into the inner cavity of the workpiece 6. In summary, the present invention can provide automatic pushing and feeding, automatic unloading and improve the processing positioning accuracy during the spinning process, while comprehensively improving the quality and accuracy of the spin forming of the workpiece 6 through various methods such as balanced spinning force, synchronous surface cleaning and synchronous spinning cooling, greatly reducing the possibility of various forming quality defects such as shape deviation, uneven wall thickness, rough and uneven surface, and surface oxidation, thereby improving the processing quality.
