DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inside", "all around" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0041] See also Figure 1 - Fig.15 The embodiment of the present invention provides a technical solution: a CNC thread milling machine, comprising a workbench 1 and a three-axis CNC milling machine 6 arranged at one end of the workbench 1, the three-axis CNC milling machine 6 and the workbench 1 are slidably connected, and also comprising a fixed seat 5, the fixed seat 5 is arranged on the upper surface of the workbench 1, preferably a slide 4 is installed at the bottom of the fixed seat 5, the slide 4 is slidably connected to the workbench 1, and the slide 4 can be driven by an electric telescopic cylinder for feeding the fixed seat 5, in addition, a turntable 7 is rotatably installed at one end of the fixed seat 5 close to the three-axis CNC milling machine 6, and a driving member for driving the turntable 7 to rotate intermittently is provided on the fixed seat 5, and a workpiece groove 8 is radially opened on the side of the turntable 7 facing the three-axis CNC milling machine 6, the workpiece groove 8 is used to hold the workpiece to be processed, and a through hole 33 adapted to the workpiece groove 8 is opened in the turntable 7.

[0042] In addition, the CNC thread milling machine provided in this embodiment also includes a movable cavity 34, which is opened at the middle position of the turntable 7, and a guide block 20 is movably installed in the movable cavity 34, and a pressure rod 35 is movably installed on the inner wall of the movable cavity 34. One end of the pressure rod 35 extends to the inside of the workpiece groove 8 and is installed with a pressure plate 37. The pressure rod 35 is slidably connected to the turntable 7, and the other end of the pressure rod 35 is against the outer wall of the guide block 20 and is provided with a ball 39. The setting of the ball 39 can make the contact between the pressure rod 35 and the outer surface of the guide block 20 more stable, and a return spring 36 is provided on the outer side of the pressure rod 35 between the ball 39 and the inner wall of the movable cavity 34.

[0043] In this solution, the turntable 7 rotates intermittently, further causing the workpiece slot 8 and the pressure rod 35 to rotate, and then causing the guide block 20 and the workpiece slot 8 and the pressure rod 35 to rotate relative to each other. The guide block 20 and the pressure rod 35 abut against each other, so that the pressure rod 35 can extend and retract as the turntable 7 rotates, that is, the pressure rod 35 will drive the pressure plate 37 to move inside the workpiece slot 8, thereby achieving the clamping and release of the workpiece inside the workpiece slot 8.

[0044] In order to realize the loading of the workpiece, the CNC thread milling machine provided in this embodiment also includes a pushing pipe 23, which is fixed in the fixed seat 5. A feeding channel 11 that penetrates the fixed seat 5 is provided on one side of the pushing pipe 23. Preferably, a feeding slot 24 is opened at the upper end of the pushing pipe 23, and the feeding slot 24 is connected with the other end of the feeding channel 11. In addition, it should be noted that the lower end of the inner part of the feeding channel 11 is an inclined structure, so that the workpiece can automatically slide down into the pushing pipe 23 inside the feeding channel 11. A first push rod 26 is axially slidingly provided in the pushing pipe 23. The first push rod 26 moves toward the direction of the turntable 7, which can push the workpiece inside the pushing pipe 23 to move, so as to The workpiece enters the workpiece groove 8 through the through hole 33. A discharge pipe 25 is fixed on one side of the pushing pipe 23. A second push rod 27 is axially slidably arranged in the discharge pipe 25. Preferably, the length of the second push rod 27 is greater than the first push rod 26, so that during the unloading process, the second push rod 27 can extend into the workpiece groove 8, thereby pushing the workpiece out of the workpiece groove 8. In order to improve the stable contact between the pushing pipe 23 and the discharge pipe 25 and the turntable 7, an annular groove 32 is preferably provided on the back side of the turntable 7. The annular groove 32 is slidably connected to the pushing pipe 23 and the discharge pipe 25 to improve the stability of the pushing pipe 23 and the discharge pipe 25 when the turntable 7 rotates.

[0045] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the distance between the pushing pipe 23 and the unloading pipe 25 is the same as the distance between two adjacent through holes 33, and the vertical distance from the pushing pipe 23 and the unloading pipe 25 to the straight line where the axis of the turntable 7 is located is the same as the vertical distance from the through hole 33 to the straight line where the axis of the turntable 7 is located, so that after the turntable 7 rotates a certain angle, the pushing pipe 23 and the unloading pipe 25 are docked with the two adjacent through holes 33. In addition, in the present embodiment, the angle between the center of the two adjacent through holes 33 and the line connecting the center of the turntable 7 is the same as the intermittent rotation angle of the turntable 7.

[0046] For this solution, after the workpiece slides into the push pipe 23 through the feed channel 11, the first push rod 26 is driven to move, so that the workpiece passes through the through hole 33 and enters the workpiece slot 8. At this time, as the turntable 7 rotates, the pressure rod 35 is squeezed by the guide block 20, and then the pressure plate 37 is pushed to move toward the workpiece. The workpiece is fixed by the cooperation between the pressure plate 37 and the side wall of the workpiece slot 8. At this time, the reset spring 36 is in a compressed state; the turntable 7 continues to rotate to the three-axis CNC milling machine 6, and the outer surface of the workpiece is continued to be milled by the three-axis CNC milling machine 6. After the workpiece is processed After completion, as the turntable 7 rotates, the reset spring 36 relaxes. At this time, the elastic potential energy of the reset spring 36 drives the pressure rod 35 to move away from the workpiece, further separating the pressure plate 37 from the workpiece, thereby releasing the workpiece. At this time, the next workpiece is slid into the pushing pipe 23 through the feed channel 11, driving the second push rod 27 and the first push rod 26 to move synchronously, so that the second push rod 27 enters the workpiece slot 8 through the through hole 33, thereby pushing the workpiece inside the workpiece slot 8 out, and the first push rod 26 allows the workpiece to pass through the through hole 33 into the next workpiece slot 8.

[0047] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the guide block 20 provided in this embodiment is a conical structure as a whole, and the end of the guide block 20 close to the three-axis CNC milling machine 6 is a small head end 202, and the other end of the guide block 20 is a large head end 201, and the maximum vertical distance from the outer edge of the large head end 201 to the axis of the turntable 7 is three times the maximum vertical distance from the outer edge of the small head end 202 to the axis of the turntable 7, and the minimum vertical distance from the outer edge of the large head end 201 to the axis of the turntable 7 is the same as the minimum vertical distance from the outer edge of the small head end 202 to the axis of the turntable 7. Due to the conical structure of the guide block 20, when the guide block 20 slides axially inside the movable cavity 34, the guide block 20 will push the pressure rod 35 to move. At this time, the pressure rod 35 will move toward or away from the center of the turntable 7, which is equivalent to compensating for the length of the pressure rod 35 in disguised form, so that the pressure rod 35 can be adapted to fix workpieces of different specifications, thereby improving the scope of application of the equipment.

[0048] In addition, a pressure-applying portion 203 is formed on one side of the guide block 20 located on the arc surface, and the pressure-applying portion 203 squeezes the pressure rod 35, causing the pressure rod 35 to move away from the axis of the turntable 7, so that the pressure rod 35 drives the pressure plate 37 to squeeze the workpiece, thereby achieving fixation of the workpiece during milling. A release portion 204 is formed on the side of the guide block 20 opposite to the arc surface, and the release portion 204 is used to release the elastic potential energy of the reset spring 36, so that the pressure rod 35 moves toward the axis of the turntable 7, thereby causing the pressure rod 35 to drive the pressure plate 37 to separate from the workpiece, so as to facilitate the loading and unloading of the workpiece.

[0049] like Fig. 9 - Fig.14 As shown, there are four workpiece slots 8 provided in this embodiment, and the cross-section of the workpiece slot 8 is an isosceles triangle structure. Through the setting of the isosceles triangle structure, the workpiece can be squeezed by the side wall of the workpiece slot 8 after falling into the workpiece slot 8, and the pressure plate 37 can be used to achieve three-point fixation of the workpiece to improve the stability of the workpiece during milling. In addition, the base of the isosceles triangle structure is close to the axis of the turntable 7, so that after the workpiece is loaded, it falls to the top corner of the isosceles triangle due to its own gravity, thereby meeting the fixation of workpieces of different specifications.

[0050] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in order to realize the synchronous driving of the first push rod 26 and the second push rod 27, in this embodiment, a second servo motor 29 is fixed inside the fixed seat 5, and a reverse double-threaded rod 16 is installed at the output end of the second servo motor 29. A bidirectional thread groove 28 is provided on the outer side of the reverse double-threaded rod 16. A connecting seat 17 is fixed at one end of the first push rod 26 and the second push rod 27 away from the three-axis CNC milling machine 6. A connecting hole 30 is opened on the connecting seat 17. A slider 31 adapted to the bidirectional thread groove 28 is rotatably installed inside the connecting hole 30. Preferably, there are at least two sliders 31 to improve the stability of the connection between the slider 31 and the bidirectional thread groove 28.

[0051] In this solution, the reverse double-threaded rod 16 is driven to rotate by the second servo motor 29, which further causes the bidirectional thread groove 28 on the outside of the reverse double-threaded rod 16 to rotate. Through the cooperation between the bidirectional thread groove 28 and the slider 31, the connecting seat 17 makes a linear reciprocating motion on the reverse double-threaded rod 16, thereby driving the first push rod 26 and the second push rod 27 to move.

[0052] like Figure 3 , Fig.13 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, in order to improve the stability when loading the workpiece, the end of the pressure plate 37 provided in this embodiment away from the three-axis CNC milling machine 6 is a ramp structure. The ramp structure is used to pull the workpiece during input, which can prevent one end of the workpiece from abutting against the pressure plate 37 during loading, resulting in loading failure, and elastic plates 38 are installed on both sides of the pressure plate 37. The elastic plates 38 abut against the side walls of the workpiece groove 8. Through the setting of the elastic plates 38, the pressure plate 37 can effectively push the workpiece to move during the sliding process inside the workpiece groove 8, thereby preventing the workpiece from being missed between the side walls of the workpiece groove 8 and the pressure plate 37 due to its small outer diameter.

[0053] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, in order to realize the axial movement of the guide block 20, a fixing plate 21 for fixing the pushing pipe 23 and the unloading pipe 25 is symmetrically installed inside the fixing seat 5, and a first cylinder 18 is installed on the fixing plate 21. A connecting plate 22 is installed at the telescopic end of the first cylinder 18. A push rod 19 slidably connected to the fixing plate 21 is fixed at one end of the guide block 20 away from the three-axis CNC milling machine 6, and the other end of the push rod 19 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 22.

[0054] In this solution, the first cylinder 18 drives the connecting plate 22 to move, so that the connecting plate 22 drives the push rod 19 to move, and further the axial movement of the guide block 20 can be achieved.

[0055] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the output of the workpiece and milling debris during the milling process, a discharge groove 3 is opened on the upper surface of the workbench 1, and a receiving groove 2 connected to the discharge groove 3 is provided at the bottom of the workbench 1. Preferably, a filtering screen is arranged on the receiving groove 2 to separate the processed workpiece from the milling debris, so as to facilitate the rapid picking up of the workpiece after processing.

[0056] In order to protect the movement of the reverse double-threaded rod 16, the first push rod 26 and the second push rod 27, a protection box 9 is fixed to the end of the fixed seat 5 away from the turntable 7. A box cover 10 is hinged on one side of the protection box 9, and the other side of the protection box 9 and the box cover 10 are connected by snap-fitting.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to realize the driving of the turntable 7, the driving member provided in this embodiment includes a first servo motor 13 fixed to the outside of the fixing seat 5 and a first driven pulley 12 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the turntable 7, a first driving pulley 14 is installed at the output end of the first servo motor 13, and a first synchronous belt 15 is installed between the first driving pulley 14 and the first driven pulley 12.

[0058] In this solution, the first servo motor 13 drives the first driving pulley 14 to rotate, and the first synchronous belt 15 drives the first driven pulley 12 to rotate through the first driving pulley 14, thereby realizing the rotation of the turntable 7.

[0059] It should be noted that, since the turntable 7 rotates intermittently, a ratchet transmission can also be used to drive the turntable 7 .

[0060] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the three-axis CNC milling machine 6 provided in this embodiment includes a base 601 fixed to one end of the workbench 1, a support frame 603 is slidably installed above the base 601 along the vertical direction, and a third cylinder 602 for driving the support frame 603 to move is installed on the base 601, a bearing slide 604 is slidably installed on the upper surface of the support frame 603 along its axial direction, a spindle box 608 is fixed on the upper surface of the bearing slide 604, a second cylinder 613 is rotatably installed inside the spindle box 608, and a tool disc 614 is fixed at the telescopic end of the second cylinder 613.

[0061] In this solution, the longitudinal movement of the cutter disc 614 is achieved by driving the third cylinder 602, and the cutter disc 614 can be adjusted to any position within a single horizontal plane by extending and retracting the second cylinder 613 and sliding the supporting slide 604 on the upper surface of the support frame 603, thereby realizing three-axis linkage of the cutter disc 614.

[0062] In addition, a fourth servo motor 606 is fixed at one end of the support frame 603, a screw rod 607 is installed at the output end of the fourth servo motor 606, a connecting nut seat 605 is fixed at the bottom of the supporting slide 604, the connecting nut seat 605 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 607, the screw rod 607 is driven to rotate by the fourth servo motor 606, and the threaded connection between the screw rod 607 and the connecting nut seat 605 drives the supporting slide 604 to slide on the upper surface of the support frame 603.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to realize the rotation of the cutter disc 614, in this embodiment, a third servo motor 609 is fixed inside the spindle box 608, a second driving pulley 610 is installed at the output end of the third servo motor 609, a second driven pulley 611 is fixedly sleeved on the second cylinder 613, and a second synchronous belt 612 is installed between the second driven pulley 611 and the second driving pulley 610.

[0064] The third servo motor 609 drives the second driving pulley 610 to rotate, and the second driven pulley 611 drives the second cylinder 613 to rotate through the second driving pulley 610, so that the cutter head 614 rotates synchronously with the second cylinder 613, thereby realizing workpiece milling.

[0065] When in use (working), when in use, the first servo motor 13 drives the first active pulley 14 to rotate, and the first synchronous belt 15 drives the first driven pulley 12 to rotate through the first active pulley 14, thereby realizing the rotation of the turntable 7, and the workpiece is put into the feed channel 11. After the workpiece slides through the feed channel 11 to the inside of the pushing pipe 23, the second servo motor 29 is started, and the reverse double-threaded rod 16 is driven to rotate by the second servo motor 29, and the bidirectional thread groove 28 on the outer side of the reverse double-threaded rod 16 is further rotated. Through the cooperation between the bidirectional thread groove 28 and the slider 31, the connecting seat 17 makes a linear reciprocating motion on the reverse double-threaded rod 16, and then drives the first push rod 26 and the second push rod 27 to move, and by driving the first push rod 26 to move toward the turntable 7, the workpiece enters the workpiece groove 8 through the through hole 33.

[0066] At this time, as the turntable 7 rotates, the pressure rod 35 moves to the pressure-applying part 203, and the pressure rod 35 is squeezed by the guide block 20, and then pushes the pressure plate 37 to move toward the workpiece. The workpiece is fixed through the cooperation between the pressure plate 37 and the side wall of the workpiece groove 8. At this time, the reset spring 36 is in a compressed state.

[0067] The turntable 7 continues to rotate to the cutter disc 614, and the outer surface of the workpiece is milled by the cutter disc 614. The milling debris falls from the discharge slot 3 to the inside of the receiving slot 2 due to gravity. After the workpiece is processed, as the turntable 7 rotates, the pressure rod 35 moves to the release portion 204, and the reset spring 36 relaxes. At this time, the elastic potential energy of the reset spring 36 drives the pressure rod 35 to move away from the workpiece, further separating the pressure plate 37 from the workpiece, thereby releasing the workpiece.

[0068] At this time, the next workpiece is slid into the pushing pipe 23 through the feed channel 11, driving the second push rod 27 to move synchronously with the first push rod 26, so that the second push rod 27 enters the workpiece slot 8 through the through hole 33, and further pushes the workpiece inside the workpiece slot 8. Then the processed workpiece falls from the discharge slot 3 to the receiving slot 2, and the first push rod 26 allows the next workpiece to enter the next workpiece slot 8 through the through hole 33. In this process, as the turntable 7 rotates, the unprocessed workpiece will approach the cutter disc 614, and under the action of the cutter disc 614, the workpiece is milled. The whole process is continuous, thereby improving the working efficiency of the equipment.
