Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of numerical control machining, in particular to a tool changing structure of a precision numerical control machining center. Background Art

[0002] Precision CNC machining center is a high-efficiency automated machine tool suitable for machining complex parts. It consists of mechanical equipment and CNC system. It realizes automated machining of workpieces by programming and controlling the machine tool's feed, spindle speed, cutting tool selection and other parameters. Precision CNC machining center has a variety of machining process technology means, including milling, boring, drilling, tapping and thread cutting functions.

[0003] At present, the tool changing structure inside the conventional precision CNC machining center includes a mechanical tool changer. Grippers are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the mechanical tool changer. The mechanical tool changer is controlled to replace manual operations such as tool grabbing, tool selection and tool changing. During the tool insertion process of the mechanical tool changer, the tool sleeve tilts due to the aging of the mechanical gripper and insufficient gripping force. At this time, the axis of the tool sleeve and the tool sleeve hole do not coincide, resulting in a collision between the conical surface of the tool sleeve and the edge of the tool sleeve hole when the tool is inserted upward, which causes plastic deformation of the edge material, which is then torn off and causes damage to the tool and the tool sleeve hole.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the prior art provides some solutions. For example, patent application number: CN202310475163.4 provides a tool magazine manipulator and a tool changing device, including a housing and a pair of knife plates arranged in the housing, one end of the knife plate extends out of the housing to form a knife claw, and the two knife claws are arranged oppositely to form a knife edge; it also includes a first elastic sheet and a second elastic sheet, the two knife plates are respectively fixed on the two ends of the first elastic sheet, both are provided with guide grooves, the middle part of the second elastic sheet is protruding, and the two ends move along the set trajectory under the restriction of the guide groove, in an elastic compression state; the two ends of the first elastic sheet buckle inward in a free state, and the middle position of the second elastic sheet is initially in contact with the entering tool, and the two ends move toward the inside of the housing along the guide groove under the pressure of the tool, so that the two knife claws are respectively separated to open the knife edge, and the tool is clamped again by approaching; after the tool is removed, it automatically resets to the initial state; this design can extend the service life of the tool magazine manipulator, but it is still difficult to avoid the aging of the elastic sheet inside the tool magazine manipulator after a long time, thereby causing the tool to tilt. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tool changing structure for a precision CNC machining center to solve the problem that when a mechanical tool changer is inserting a tool, if the axis of the tool sleeve hole does not coincide with the axis of the tool, the cone surface on the tool sleeve collides with the edge of the tool sleeve hole during the process of inserting the tool upward, thereby causing plastic deformation of the edge material, which is then torn off and causes damage to the tool and the tool sleeve hole.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A tool changing structure for a precision CNC machining center comprises a tool magazine, a tool changing arm, a spindle, a tool and a tool sleeve, wherein a tool sleeve hole is provided on the spindle, the tool can be detachably fixedly mounted on the tool sleeve, and the tool sleeve can be detachably fixedly mounted inside the tool sleeve hole, four guide rails are evenly distributed on the circumference of the spindle, and sliders are slidably connected to the four guide rails, and a linkage component is also provided on the slider, the linkage component connects the four sliders, when the four sliders are all subjected to force, the four sliders move simultaneously, when less than or equal to three sliders are subjected to force, the linkage component limits the movement of the slider, a trigger component with a stop button is provided inside the slider, the stop button is electrically connected to the emergency stop button of the precision CNC machining center, and the stop button of the trigger component is pressed when the linkage component limits the sliding of the slider.

[0008] It is easy to understand that the present invention further provides a linkage assembly and a trigger assembly on the slider. When the tool sleeve moves toward the tool sleeve hole, the tool sleeve will contact the slider. If the tool sleeve is tilted, the linkage assembly will jam the slider. At this time, the slider will adjust the inclination of the tool sleeve. If the tool sleeve is adjusted back to a normal state, the tool sleeve will continue to be installed. If it cannot be adjusted to a normal state, the trigger assembly will trigger the emergency stop button of the precision CNC machining center to stop the precision CNC machining center. This design avoids the problem that the tool sleeve will collide with the edge of the tool sleeve hole due to the tilt of the tool sleeve, thereby causing damage to the equipment.

[0009] Preferably, the trigger assembly includes a pressing block, a pressing chamber is provided on the slider, the pressing block is slidably connected in the pressing chamber, two springs 1 are arranged between the pressing block and the pressing chamber, a locking chamber is also provided inside the slider, a connecting rod 1 is fixedly connected to the pressing block, one end of the connecting rod 1 extends into the locking chamber, one end of the connecting rod 1 located in the locking chamber is hinged to a connecting rod 2, a torsion spring is provided at the hinge between the connecting rod 2 and the connecting rod 1, a contact hole is provided at the bottom of the slider, a locking groove is also provided on the guide rail, a ratchet is also provided inside the locking groove, a pawl is hinged on the connecting rod 2, and the contact hole One side is provided with an arc surface 1, and the connecting rod 2 is in contact with the arc surface 1. The pawl extends to the outside of the slider through the contact hole and contacts the ratchet. When the ratchet contacts the pawl, the ratchet limits the slider from moving toward the outside of the main shaft. When the pressing block moves toward the inside of the slider, the pawl moves away from the ratchet and moves toward the inside of the slider. Two reset chambers are also provided at the bottom of the guide rail, and two push plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider. A spring 2 is provided between the push plate and the inner wall of the reset chamber. The stop button is slidably connected to the inside of the slider. When the pressing block moves toward the inside of the slider, the connecting rod 1 contacts the stop button, and chamfers are provided on the upper and lower sides of one end of the pressing block.

[0010] It is easy to understand that the design is provided with a pressing block on the slider and a connecting rod 1 on the pressing block, and the connecting rod 1 locks the movement of the slider by controlling the connecting rod 2 and the pawl on the connecting rod 2 to cooperate with the ratchet on the guide rail. In addition, the connecting rod 1 can not only control the movement of the slider by controlling the movement of the pawl, but also contact the stop button inside the slider through its own movement to control the tool changing structure of the precision CNC machining center to stop when an abnormality occurs in the installation of the tool sleeve. The design is not only simple and compact in structure, but also can complete the locking of the slider and the stopping of the equipment only through the connecting rod 2, saving space inside the slider, reducing costs and the difficulty of subsequent maintenance.

[0011] Preferably, the linkage assembly includes contact rod 1 and contact rod 2, four contact chambers are evenly distributed on the circumference of the main shaft, the contact chambers are connected to the guide rail, the contact rod 1 and contact rod 2 are both slidably installed inside the contact chambers, the contact rod 1 and contact rod 2 are both fixedly connected to the slider, and the contact rod 1 (419) on any slider (403) contacts the contact rod 2 (420) on the adjacent slider (403).

[0012] It is easy to understand that the design sets contact rod 1 and contact rod 2 on the slider, and the contact rod 1 on each slider is closer to the tool sleeve hole than the contact rod 2 on the adjacent slider. This makes it possible for the sliders on the spindle to not move at the same time, and the contact rod 2 on the unmoved slider will restrict the contact rod 1 of the adjacent moving slider, so that all the sliders on the spindle cannot move. Therefore, if the tool sleeve is not tilted, the sliders around the tool sleeve will be squeezed by the tool sleeve and move in all directions. If the tool sleeve is tilted, the tool sleeve will only apply pressure to the slider located in the tilted direction. Since the slider under pressure cannot move, the tool sleeve will Under the pressure from the slider, if the inclination of the tool sleeve is adjusted back to its original position due to the pressure, the tool sleeve will re-apply pressure to the sliders around it to complete the installation normally. If the inclination of the tool sleeve cannot be adjusted, the tool sleeve will continue to apply pressure to the slider in the inclination direction, and the stop button will be triggered to shut down the equipment. This design enables the tilted tool sleeve to have an adjustment opportunity by linking the sliders. If it cannot be adjusted back to its original position, the equipment will be shut down. Therefore, this design can reduce the number of times the precision CNC machining center is shut down due to the inclination of the tool sleeve, thereby reducing the impact of the shutdown of the precision CNC machining center on work efficiency.

[0013] Preferably, a rectangular hole 1 is also provided on the slider, a locking block is slidably connected to the rectangular hole 1, a spring 3 is provided between the locking block and the bottom of the rectangular hole 1, a locking hole is also provided at the bottom of the rectangular hole 1, the locking hole connects the rectangular hole 1 with the locking chamber, a locking rod is provided on the locking block, one end of the locking rod extends to the inside of the locking chamber through the locking hole and contacts with the stop button, an arc surface 2 is provided at one end of the locking rod close to the stop button, a protrusion is also provided inside the locking chamber, and the stop button contacts with the protrusion.

[0014] It is easy to understand that when the tool sleeve is installed, the tool sleeve will squeeze the locking block on the rectangular hole one, so that the locking block moves toward the inside of the rectangular hole one and squeezes the spring three in the rectangular hole one. At this time, the locking rod on the locking block moves to the inside of the locking chamber and squeezes the stop button forward through the arc surface two, so that the stop button squeezes the protrusion inside the locking chamber. At this time, the stop button is locked between the protrusion and the locking rod and cannot move. This design can lock the stop button after the tool sleeve is installed, avoiding the centrifugal force generated by the spindle during high-speed rotation from causing the stop button to move, thereby causing the stop button to be triggered and affecting the normal operation of the precision CNC machining center. Therefore, this design improves the reliability of the precision CNC machining center.

[0015] Preferably, a block is provided on the second connecting rod, one side of the pawl is a plane, and the plane on one side of the pawl is in contact with the inner wall of the locking chamber. When the pawl is fully retracted into the locking chamber, the block contacts the pawl and limits the rotation of the pawl.

[0016] It is easy to understand that when the tool sleeve is installed, the surface of the tool sleeve will squeeze the pressing blocks on the surrounding sliders, and the pressing blocks will drive connecting rod one to move, and then connecting rod one will drive connecting rod two to rotate. At this time, the pawl rotates and moves with connecting rod two to retract into the locking chamber. At this time, the pawl is fully rotated and contacts with the block on connecting rod two. The block will press the pawl against the inner wall of the locking chamber. At this time, the pawl cannot rotate. This design can lock the pawl after the tool sleeve is installed, avoiding the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the spindle to cause the pawl to swing and affect the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, this design improves the reliability of the precision CNC machining center.

[0017] Preferably, rectangular holes 2 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the pressing chamber, and a sliding plate is provided on the slider, and the sliding plate is slidably connected in the rectangular holes 2 on the upper and lower sides of the pressing chamber. An inclined block 1 is provided on the sliding plate, and an inclined groove 1 is provided on the connecting rod 1, and the inclined block 1 is in contact with the inner wall of the inclined groove 1. An inclined block 2 is provided at the bottom of the sliding plate, and the inclined block 2 is in contact with the ratchet.

[0018] The cam is pressed against the guide rail and the slider is locked, so that the slider cannot move and the slider cannot be moved due to the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the spindle after the installation of the tool sleeve.

[0019] Preferably, the slider is also provided with a connecting rod, the connecting rod is slidably connected to the slider, one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the sliding plate, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the locking block, the diameter of the tool sleeve is A, when the tool sleeve is completely moved into the tool sleeve hole, the distance between the edge of the locking block away from the tool sleeve hole and the center of the tool sleeve hole is B, the distance between the edge of the sliding plate away from the tool sleeve hole and the center of the tool sleeve hole is C, A≥B, A≥C, when the tool sleeve is completely moved into the tool sleeve hole, the slider moves to the end of the guide rail.

[0020] It is easy to understand that the design limits the movement distance of the slider by limiting the positions of the locking block and the sliding plate and the length of the guide rail. When the tool sleeve is completely moved into the tool sleeve hole, the slider moves to the end of the guide rail and cannot move further. This avoids the situation where the slider moves further due to collision, equipment vibration and other reasons when the tool sleeve is about to be completely moved into the tool sleeve hole, causing the locking block and the sliding plate on the slider to move away from the tool sleeve, making it impossible for the tool sleeve to squeeze the locking block and the sliding plate, resulting in the slider and the stop button inside the slider being unable to be tightened, thereby affecting the normal operation of the precision CNC machining center. Therefore, this design further improves the reliability of the precision CNC machining center.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The present invention further provides a linkage component and a trigger component on the slider. When the tool sleeve moves toward the tool sleeve hole, the tool sleeve will contact the slider. If the tool sleeve is tilted, the linkage component will jam the slider. At this time, the slider will adjust the tool sleeve. If it cannot be adjusted to the normal state, the trigger component will trigger the emergency stop button of the precision CNC machining center. This design avoids the problem that the tool sleeve will collide with the edge of the tool sleeve hole due to the tilt of the tool sleeve, thereby causing damage to the equipment.

[0023] 2. The present invention provides a pressing block on the slider and also provides a connecting rod 1 on the pressing block. The connecting rod 1 controls the connecting rod 2 and the pawl on the connecting rod 2 to cooperate with the ratchet on the guide rail to lock the movement of the slider. The connecting rod 1 can also contact the stop button inside the slider through its own movement to control the tool changing structure of the precision CNC machining center to stop when an abnormality occurs in the installation of the tool sleeve. This design is not only simple and compact in structure, but also can complete the actions of locking the slider and stopping the equipment only through the connecting rod 2, saving space inside the slider, reducing costs and the difficulty of subsequent maintenance.

[0024] 3. The present invention sets contact rod 1 and contact rod 2 on the slider. Through the mutual restriction of contact rod 1 and contact rod 2 of adjacent sliders, the sliders are linked so that the tilted tool sleeve can have an adjustment opportunity. If it cannot be adjusted to the original position, the equipment will be shut down. Therefore, this design can reduce the number of times the precision CNC machining center is shut down due to the tilt of the tool sleeve, thereby reducing the impact of the shutdown of the precision CNC machining center on the work efficiency.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 10In the process of the tool changing arm 2 installing the tool 301 and the tool sleeve 3 into the tool sleeve hole 401 on the rotating shaft, the tool sleeve 3 is tilted, and the conical surface on the tool sleeve 3 will contact the pressing block 405 on the slider 403 in the tilting direction and apply pressure to the pressing block 405. The pressing block 405 is pressed by the pressure to squeeze the spring 1 407 and move toward the inside of the pressing chamber 406. At this time, the connecting rod 1 409 moves with the pressing block 405, and the connecting rod 2 410 hinged on the connecting rod 1 409 moves with the connecting rod 1 409. During the movement of the connecting rod 2 410, it will slide on the arc surface 1 415, so the connecting rod 2 410 will rotate around the connecting rod 1 409. At this time, the connecting rod 2 410 will retract the pawl 414 into the locking chamber 408, and the pawl 414 is away from the locking groove 412. The ratchet teeth 413 on the slider 403 complete the unlocking action and are no longer locked. At this time, the knife sleeve 3 continues to apply pressure to the pressing block 405. At this time, the slider 403 located in the inclined direction of the knife sleeve 3 is pushed, but because the inclined knife sleeve 3 does not contact all the sliders 403, the slider 403 that is not subjected to pressure is still in a locked state and cannot move. At this time, the contact rod 1 419 on the slider 403 that is subjected to pressure will contact the contact rod 2 420 on the adjacent slider 403 that is not subjected to force. The contact rod 2 420 on the slider 403 that is not subjected to force further restricts the movement of the contact rod 1 419 of the slider 403 that is subjected to force, making it impossible for the slider 403 that is subjected to pressure to move. At this time, the knife sleeve 3 continues to move toward the inside of the knife sleeve hole 401. 3 cannot move at this time, and the knife sleeve 3 will be subject to pressure from the slider 403. At this time, if the inclination of the knife sleeve 3 is adjusted to the original position due to the pressure, the knife sleeve 3 will continue to move and will contact all the sliders 403. At this time, all the sliders 403 are subject to pressure from the knife sleeve 3 and complete the unlocking action together. The knife sleeve 3 continues to move and all the sliders 403 slide along the guide rail 402 toward the outside of the spindle 4. The push plate 417 on the slider 403 squeezes the spring 2 418 inside the reset chamber 416 and moves with the slider 403. The knife sleeve 3 continues to move and contacts the sliding plate 431, the connecting rod 436 and the rectangular block on the slider 403. The sliding plate 431 moves after being subjected to pressure, and the inclined block 2 435 at the bottom of the sliding plate 431 is in contact with the guide rail 402. The ratchet 413 on the sliding plate 431 contacts the ratchet 413 on the sliding plate 431, which makes the slider 403 unable to move, and the inclined block 1 on the sliding plate 431 is inserted into the inclined groove 1 433 on the connecting rod 1 409, which makes the connecting rod 1 409 unable to move. The locking block 423 moves after being pressed, and the locking block 423 moves toward the inside of the rectangular hole 1 422 and squeezes the spring 3 424 in the rectangular hole 1 422. At this time, the locking rod 426 on the locking block 423 moves into the locking chamber 408 and squeezes the stop button 404 forward through the arc surface 2 427, so that the stop button 404 squeezes the protrusion 428 inside the locking chamber 408. At this time, the stop button 404 is locked between the protrusion 428 and the locking rod 426 and cannot move.
