[0018] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0019] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0020] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a box and column structure for a CNC turret, including a box 1, which is integrally cast, and a column 2 is sleeved on the outer side of the box 1, and the column 2 is also integrally cast, and a mounting groove 6 is opened at the bottom of the column 2, and the mounting groove 6 is used to connect the column 2 to the machine tool carriage; At the same time, a mounting hole 8 is opened through the box body 1 and the column 2, and a screw member 81 is installed in the mounting hole 8. In the present application, the screw member 81 is a ball screw pair in the prior art, having two matching parts, a screw and a nut. The screw is rotatably connected to the mounting hole 8 and protrudes from the column 2, and is then installed on the machine tool, while the nut is fixed in the box body 1. Therefore, by rotating the screw, the nut can drive the box body 1 to move in the column 2.
[0021] like Figure 2-Figure 3As shown, in order to adjust the rigidity of the box body 1 as a whole, an external locking mechanism is provided between the box body 1 and the column 2, and the external locking mechanism has a first baffle 11 and a second baffle 12 respectively provided at two ends of one side of the box body 1, and the first baffle 11 and the second baffle 12 are provided in an L shape, and a friction surface 13 is provided on the inner side of the first baffle 11 and the second baffle 12. In the present application, three groups of the friction surface 13 are provided, which are respectively located at the two inner ends of the first baffle 11 and one side end of the second baffle 12, and S-shaped lubrication grooves are respectively provided on the three groups of friction surfaces 13, and the other side of the second baffle 12 is provided as a first fixed plane 14, and the first fixed plane 14 has a certain slope; like Figure 4 As shown, the first and second vertical rods 21 and 22 are respectively provided at both ends of one side of the column 2, and the first and second vertical rods 21 and 22 cooperate with the first baffle 11 and the second baffle 12 respectively, and the first and second vertical rods 21 and 22 have hard rail surfaces 23. In the present application, four groups of the hard rail surfaces 23 are provided, wherein three groups of the hard rail surfaces 23 are respectively in contact with the three groups of friction surfaces 13, and the remaining group of the hard rail surfaces 23 corresponds to the first fixed plane 14; In the present application, lubricating oil is regularly added to the S-shaped lubrication groove, so the friction coefficient between the hard rail surface 23 and the friction surface 13 can be effectively reduced. In addition, the flatness and parallelism of the hard rail surface 23 can be controlled within 0.005mm after grinding, which greatly reduces the possibility of creeping during movement. The hard rail surface 23 has excellent wear resistance after quenching treatment, and the surface has good roughness. like Figure 1 and Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a first insert strip 24 is provided between the first fixed plane 14 and the hard rail surface 23. One side of the first insert strip 24 is an inclined surface with a certain inclination. The inclined surface is in sliding contact with the first fixed plane 14. At the same time, two groups of first locking oil holes 15 are opened on the first fixed plane 14. A first end face sealing cover 16 for end face sealing is installed at the first locking oil hole 15. like Figure 2 and Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, both sides of the rear end of the box body 1 are provided with mounting surfaces 17, and the mounting surfaces 17 are respectively provided with a first slider 3 and a second slider 4. In the present application, the mounting method and structure of the first slider 3 and the second slider 4 are consistent. The following takes the first slider 3 as an example to explain specifically: The mounting surface 17 is provided with a threaded hole 171, and the first slider 3 is provided with a fixing hole 31, the fixing hole 31 and the threaded hole 171 correspond to each other. It can be understood that the fixing hole 31 and the threaded hole 171 are internally threadedly connected with bolts, and the first slider 3 is fixedly mounted on the mounting surface 17 by the bolts; The first slider 3 is a hexahedral part and is integrally cast. A second fixing plane 32 is provided on the inner side of the first slider 3. The second fixing plane 32 has a certain slope. Three second locking oil holes 33 are provided on the inner side of the second fixing plane 32. A second end face sealing cover 34 is installed at the second locking oil holes 33. like Figure 1 and Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, a second insert strip 5 is provided between the first slider 3 and the column 2. In the present application, one side of the second insert strip 5 has a certain slope, the slope is in sliding contact with the second fixed plane 32, and an S-shaped lubrication groove is processed on the slope, and lubricating oil is added to the S-shaped lubrication groove.
[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 and Figure 8-Figure 9 As shown, the box body 1 is provided with an internal locking mechanism, which is used to lock the inside of the box body 1. The internal locking mechanism has a locking hole 7 opened on the box body 1 and the top of the column 2, and the locking hole 7 passes through the box body 1. A locking rod 71 is fixedly installed inside the locking hole 7, and a locking seat 72 is sleeved on the locking rod 71. The locking seat 72 is located in the locking hole 7 and fixed on the box body 1. In the present application, the locking seat 72 is a thin-walled cylindrical part, and the locking seat 72 has an outer circle 74 located in the locking hole 7, and a sealing ring 73 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the locking seat 72, so the sealing of the connection at the outer circle 74 is ensured by the sealing ring 73.
[0023] It should be noted that a plurality of groups of oil hole inlets 9 are provided on one side of the box body 1 , and the plurality of groups of oil hole inlets 9 are respectively connected to the first locking oil hole 15 , the second locking oil hole 33 and the locking hole 7 through pipelines.
[0024] In summary: In order to ensure the cutting rigidity of the workpiece during heavy cutting, the box body 1 can be locked in two parts, the first part is the guide rail locking (external locking), and the second part is the box body 1 locking (internal locking); When the guide rail is locked (external locking), the hydraulic oil with pressure is transmitted to the first locking oil hole 15 and the second locking oil hole 33 through the oil hole inlet 9. After the oil is introduced into the oil hole, the first end face sealing cover 16 and the second end face sealing cover 34 and the oil pressure make the first end face sealing cover 16 and the second end face sealing cover 34 fit more tightly with the first insert 24 and the second insert 5 respectively, so as to achieve a sealing effect. At the same time, the pressure of the hydraulic oil will also generate thrust, which will push the first insert 24 and the second insert 5. Since the first insert 24 and the second insert 5 are both provided with inclined surfaces, the inclined surfaces will fit together with the thrust, thereby increasing the friction between the first insert 24 and the second insert 5 and the first fixed plane 14 and the second fixed plane 32, thereby generating a locking force.
[0025] When the box body 1 is locked (internal locking), the pressurized hydraulic oil is transmitted to the locking hole 7 through the oil hole inlet 9, and the pressure of the hydraulic oil will act on the outer circle 74. Since the outer circle 74 of the locking seat 72 is a thin-walled part, it will deform inward with the pressure of the hydraulic oil, so that the outer circle 74 hugs the outer wall of the locking rod 71, thereby generating a locking force.
[0026] Therefore, by locking the two parts of the box body 1, the workpiece can be prevented from being positioned inaccurately during cutting, and the rigidity of the turret during heavy cutting can be ensured to reduce the scrap rate of processing, improve processing efficiency and production efficiency, and also improve the accuracy and quality of product processing.
[0027] It should be noted that the present application is a three-strip hard rail structure, which can be controlled separately according to actual conditions, and different sizes of locking forces can be generated by adjusting the pressure of the hydraulic system, thereby enhancing the static and dynamic rigidity of the turret.
[0028] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
