After the workbench is lifted, the upper end face tooth is separated from the lower end face tooth, and the workbench is driven to rotate a certain angle by a worm-worm gear pair. When the workbench is lowered, the upper end face tooth and the lower end face tooth mesh up and down to form a positioning.

[0004] This workbench is positioned by meshing the upper and lower teeth. Due to the backlash error between the teeth, there is a problem of low positioning accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems existing in the existing rotary worktable and to provide a worktable which is accurately positioned with the base.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A new type of rotary worktable includes a worktable, a base, and a driving member for driving the worktable to rise and fall. The feature is that the worktable includes a table top and a positioning portion fixed to the bottom of the table top, the transverse cross-section of the positioning portion is a regular polygon, a positioning groove is provided on the base, the positioning portion is embedded in the positioning groove, the table top abuts against the base, and the driving member drives the worktable to rise until the bottom surface of the positioning portion extends out of the positioning groove.

[0008] In the above-mentioned new type of rotary workbench, a vertical guide hole is also opened on the inner bottom surface of the positioning groove, and a vertical guide shaft is fixedly provided at the bottom of the positioning part. The guide shaft is inserted into the guide hole. When the driving member drives the workbench to rise and fall, the guide shaft rises and falls synchronously along the guide hole.

[0009] In the above-mentioned new type of rotary worktable, the positioning groove and the positioning part are interference fit, and a plurality of inclined grooves are opened on the contact profile of at least one piece, and an inclined cantilever is formed between the two inclined grooves; when the two are matched, the cantilever produces elastic deformation to make the positioning groove and the positioning part fit tightly.

[0010] In the above-mentioned novel rotary worktable, the inclined grooves are evenly distributed on the contact contour.

[0011] In the above-mentioned new type of rotary worktable, when the contact contour is set in a square shape, the contact contour includes two pairs of corresponding edges arranged oppositely, and the inclination directions of the inclined grooves of the corresponding edges arranged oppositely are mirror-symmetrical; the four corner areas of the contact contour are all cut off to eliminate the plastic deformation zone.

[0012] In the above-mentioned novel rotary table, the inclined groove is processed by wire cutting, laser cutting, water jet cutting and the like.

[0013] In the above-mentioned novel rotary worktable, the angle between the inclined direction of the inclined groove and the normal direction of the contact profile at the inclined groove is 30-60°.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The original positioning method of upper and lower teeth meshing is changed to the positioning method of interference fit between the positioning part and the positioning groove, which makes the positioning more accurate. When in use, the driving part drives the workbench to rise until the bottom surface of the positioning part extends out of the positioning groove, and the workbench is driven to rotate a certain angle by electric or manual means, and the driving part drives the workbench to descend, so that the positioning part is embedded in the positioning groove to achieve accurate positioning;

[0016] 2. By opening an oblique groove on the contact profile of the locating hole or the locating key, when the locating key and the locating hole are in interference fit, the cantilever can provide elastic deformation to replace the plastic deformation, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and reducing the processing accuracy of the locating key and the locating hole, thereby improving work efficiency and simplifying the workflow.
