Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of numerical control machine tool design, and particularly relates to an ultra-low-temperature medium internal spraying type cooling numerical control lathe through a turret-lathe tool. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to meet the high service performance requirements of high-end equipment in the fields of aerospace, precision instruments and the like, difficult-to-machine alloy materials such as high-temperature alloy and titanium alloy and difficult-to-machine polymer materials such as polyimide and polyether ether ketone have gradually become the preferred materials of shafts, discs, rings and the like. However, when machining the above-mentioned material parts by using conventional cooling methods such as emulsion or low-temperature cold air, the cutting temperature is limited in reduction, which not only causes serious tool wear and poor part machining surface quality, but also greatly limits the cutting speed and seriously restricts the machining efficiency. The internal spraying type cooling method of delivering the ultra-low-temperature medium such as liquid nitrogen to the inner spraying type cooling of the tool tip through the inner cavity channel of the turret-lathe tool can directly, accurately and efficiently cool the cutting area, thereby significantly reducing the cutting temperature, which helps to prolong the tool life, improve the part machining quality and machining efficiency. Therefore, the realization of the internal spraying type cooling of the tool in the turning machining of the ultra-low-temperature medium has important significance for the high-quality and high-efficiency machining of the difficult-to-machine material parts in key fields.

[0003] Obviously, the numerical control lathe of the ultra-low-temperature medium through the turret-lathe tool is one of the key equipment for realizing the ultra-low-temperature internal spraying type cooling turning machining. However, under the premise of ensuring the conventional functions of the numerical control lathe and not affecting the stable operation of the lathe, the effective integration of the ultra-low-temperature medium internal spraying type cooling function and the lathe structure is extremely difficult. For example, how to integrate the ultra-low-temperature medium transmission channel in the compact internal space of the lathe turret and ensure its good heat insulation and sealing performance; how to realize the directional supply of the ultra-low-temperature medium in the turret to the working lathe tool while having the automatic tool changing function. In addition, due to the diversity of the material properties and size precision requirements of the machined parts, the flow and pressure of the ultra-low-temperature cooling medium need to be adjustable, so it is necessary to reasonably arrange the ultra-low-temperature medium transmission and control system in the lathe space.

[0004] At present, for the low-temperature medium cooling in the numerical control turning process, a number of structural forms are invented by domestic and foreign institutions. In 2012, Meig Industrial Automation System Co., Ltd. discloses "tool turret for machining workpieces and machining system having such a tool turret" in the invention patent 201280006086.8, a low-temperature medium conveying pipeline is designed inside the side surface of the tool turret, the pipeline is connected with the hydraulic cylinder to realize the axial movement, and the conveying channel is machined in the corresponding position of each turning tool and the tool holder mounted therein, the conveying pipeline and the conveying channel are connected when the machining system works, the tool changing is realized, and the low-temperature medium is provided for the working turning tool, but the machining system needs to machine the conveying channel in the tool holder corresponding to each tool position, and needs to ensure that the conveying pipeline and the conveying channel have high coaxiality after tool changing, so as to realize the sealing of the low-temperature medium. Not only the process is complicated, but also the difficulty is large, in addition, the low-temperature medium directly comes from the heat insulation storage, and has not been subjected to effective regulation of flow and pressure, so that the stable and controllable performance of the low-temperature medium jet cannot be guaranteed. In 2012, Meig Industrial Automation System Co., Ltd. discloses "method and machine tool for cutting machining of metal workpieces" in the invention patent 201280033659.6, by the axially movable tool holder, the low-temperature medium transmission pipe is inserted into the tool from the tail end of the tool, and then communicated with the tool inner cavity channel, so as to realize the low-temperature cooling of the blade, but the low-temperature medium transmission pipe needs to be accurately inserted into the through hole at the tail end of the tool after each switching of the working tool, which has high requirements for positioning accuracy and reliability, and increases the complexity of the structure.
