Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of numerical control processing equipment, in particular to a six-axis processing machine tool. Background Art
[0002] In modern CNC machine tool processing, tool changing is a key factor affecting production efficiency and processing quality. However, existing CNC machine tools often lack efficient tool changing systems. Tool changing operations rely on manual labor, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and ineffective. For example, the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN102101203B, entitled "Six-Axis Five-Linkage Spiral Bevel Gear Processing Machine Tool," includes a bed, a workpiece box, a column, a horizontal slide, and a tool box, with the movement of the processing axes controlled by multiple rotary axes. Although this invention offers good stability, high efficiency, and a small footprint, it lacks a sophisticated tool changing mechanism. When processing different curved surfaces or angular holes, the equipment requires manual tool changing, which is not only inefficient but also affects processing accuracy. Furthermore, in working conditions where multiple tools need to be frequently changed, the constant removal and replacement of tools significantly increases the complexity and uncertainty of the overall processing process. Furthermore, these processing machines can only process one product at a time, resulting in low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The six-axis machining module includes multiple machining axis assemblies.
[0008] Using this technical solution, when changing tools on the machining axis, the mobile tool holder assembly drives the movable tool holder to slide beneath the tool and then pick up the tool removed from the machining axis. The movable tool holder then moves beneath the tool sorting robot, which removes the tool and places it in the tool preparation tray. It then retrieves the new tool and transfers it to the movable tool holder. The mobile tool magazine mechanism then moves the new tool set to the machining axis's gripper. The six-axis machining module then moves downward, and the machining axis assembly lowers to place the tool to be replaced into the tool placement hole in the movable tool holder. The machining axis assembly then moves upward and left and right, then moves downward again to pick up the tool. After picking up the tool, it contacts the tool setter assembly and corrects any misalignment. During product processing, the sliding platform moves the product forward and backward, and the six-axis machining module adjusts its position by moving up and down and left and right, aligning with the product's forward and backward motion to produce geometric shapes such as holes, faces, arcs, slots, and corners.

[0039] See also Figures 1-13The present invention provides a technical solution: including a tool sorting robot (1), a mobile tool magazine mechanism (2), and a sliding workbench mechanism (3). The tool sorting robot (1) includes a grabbing module (4) for picking up and placing tools, and a plurality of gripping claw grabbing devices (5) installed on the grabbing module (4). The mobile tool magazine mechanism (2) includes a tool magazine door assembly (6), a tool magazine (7) for placing tools, and a mobile tool holder assembly (8) for transporting tools. The sliding workbench mechanism includes a sliding platform (9) and a tool setting instrument assembly (10) that slides following the sliding platform (9). When the machining axis replaces the tool, the mobile tool holder assembly (8) drives the movable tool holder (804) to slide under the tool, and then receives the tool removed from the machining axis. Then, the movable tool holder (804) is driven to move to the bottom of the tool sorting robot (1), and the tool sorting robot (1) takes the tool and places it in the tool preparation disk (702), and takes out the new tool and transfers it to the movable tool holder (804). Under the action of the mobile tool magazine mechanism (2), this set of new tools is moved to the processing axis clamping position. Then the processing axis assembly (12) is driven to move upward, left, and right, and then moved downward again to grab the tool. After grabbing the tool, the tool is brought into contact with the tool setting instrument assembly (10) and the installation position offset is corrected. When processing the product, the sliding platform (9) drives the product to move forward and backward, and the six-axis processing module (11) adjusts the position by moving in the up and down, left and right directions, and cooperates with the forward and backward movement of the product to process geometric shapes such as holes, surfaces, arcs, grooves, and corners.
[0040] Preferably, the grabbing module (4) includes a motor beam (401), which is installed and connected with a motor adapter plate (402). The motor adapter plate (402) is installed with a motor (403) and a first synchronous wheel-synchronous belt structure (404) installed in conjunction with the motor (403). The first synchronous wheel-synchronous belt structure (404) is connected and installed with a first screw rod (405), and the first screw rod (405) is used to drive the z-axis guide rail mounting base (406) to move back and forth. The first screw rod (405) is installed in conjunction with a first screw rod nut (408) fixed on the y-axis nut seat (407), and the y-axis nut seat (407) is installed and fixed on the y-axis slide (409). A transmission frame (412) is provided at both ends of the motor beam (401), and the transmission frame (412) and the y-axis slide (409) are slidably connected through the y-axis guide rail-slider mechanism (413). An x-axis guide rail-slider mechanism (414) is arranged transversely on the y-axis slide plate (409), and the x-axis guide rail-slider mechanism (414) is slidably connected to the x-axis slide plate (416). One end of the y-axis slide plate (409) is connected to a motor 2 mounting plate (417), and a motor 2 (418) is mounted on the motor 2 mounting plate (417). The motor 2 (418) is mounted in conjunction with a second screw rod (419) and a second screw rod nut (420), and the second screw rod nut (420) is mounted on an x-axis nut seat fixed on the z-axis guide rail mounting base plate (406).

A vertically arranged z-axis guide rail-slider mechanism (425) is installed on the z-axis guide rail mounting base (406), and the z-axis guide rail mounting base (406) is slidably connected to the z-axis slide (426) through the z-axis guide rail-slider mechanism (425). Motor three (423) is installed in conjunction with a third screw rod (428) and a third screw rod nut (429). The third screw rod nut (429) is installed on a z-axis nut seat (427) fixed on the z-axis slide (426), and the third screw rod (428) is used to drive the z-axis slide (426) to move up and down. A plurality of clamping claws and grasping devices (5) are installed on the z-axis slide (426). In the first part of the tool placement action, the z-axis slide (426) descends and then returns to its original position, and the position of the tool below is sensed by the sensor between the clamping claws. After the y-axis slide (409) moves horizontally toward the movable tool holder (804), it drives the z-axis slide (426) to descend, and the clamping cylinder then clamps the tool to be replaced in the tool placement position. The z-axis slide (426) is then driven upward to make the bottom of the tool higher than the tool placement hole (709).Then, the y-axis slide (409) is driven by the first synchronous wheel-synchronous belt structure (404) and the first screw rod (405) to move toward the tool preparation disc (702) to above the tool placement hole (709), and the z-axis slide (426) is driven to slide down to place the tool to be replaced into the tool placement hole (709), and the clamping jaws are opened and moved upward a certain distance. Then, in the second part of the action, the x-axis slide (416) is driven to move horizontally on the x-axis guide rail-slider mechanism (414). At this time, the air clamping cylinder moves to another tool placement hole position (709). Then, the z-axis slide (426) is driven to move downward.

The first synchronous wheel-synchronous belt structure (404), the first screw rod (405), and the third screw rod (428) drive the z-axis slide (426) and the x-axis slide (416) to move, and the tool to be used is placed in the tool placement hole (709) of the movable tool holder (804). Finally, the driving motor-gear mechanism (805) moves the movable tool holder (804) loaded with the tool to be used to a preset position. From then on, all the actions of tool removal are completed. Six tools can be grabbed at the same time in one action, and the tool changing efficiency is high.
[0041] Preferably, the gripping device (5) comprises a guide rod cylinder (501), wherein the guide rod (502) of the guide rod cylinder (501) is connected to a gripping cylinder gasket (503).

The inner side surface of the bidirectional horizontal clamp (507) is provided with a wedge-shaped cutout inclined surface (509), and a wedge-shaped movable slider (510) is arranged on the wedge-shaped cutout inclined surface. The wedge-shaped movable slider (510) is connected to the clamping claw cylinder gasket (503). A grabbing claw (511) is installed on the outside of the bidirectional horizontal clamp (507). When clamping a tool, the tool handle identification sensor first detects whether a tool is present below. After confirming that a tool is to be clamped, the guide rod cylinder (501) drives the guide rod (502) to move upward. The clamping claw cylinder gasket (503) then drives the wedge-shaped movable slider (510) to move upward to drive the bidirectional horizontal clamp (507) to open toward both sides of the grabbing claw (511), thereby opening the bidirectional horizontal clamp (507) and the grabbing claw (511). When the jaws of the tool clamp descend to be flush with the clamping portion on the upper part of the tool, the guide rod cylinder (501) drives the guide rod (502) to move downward, and the jaw cylinder gasket (503) then drives the wedge-shaped movable slider (510) to move downward, causing the bidirectional horizontal clamp (507) to move inward, so that the jaws fit into the clamping portion, thereby completing the action of the grasping jaw (511) to clamp the tool.
