DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technical personnel in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a five-axis machining tool for preventing C-axis tube entanglement comprises a base 1, on which a Y-axis slide rail 2 and an X-axis slide rail 3 are arranged, on which a trunnion 4 is slidably arranged, and on which a column 5 is further arranged, on which a Z-axis slide rail 6 is arranged, and on which a tool assembly 7 is slidably arranged; The ear shaft 4 includes an operating table 401, on which a turntable 402 is rotatably arranged, and a pneumatic slip ring 8 is connected to the turntable 402. The pneumatic slip ring 8 includes an inner ring 803 and an outer ring 804. One end of the inner ring 803 is connected to the turntable 402, and the other end is connected to a pneumatic clamp 9. An air outlet pipe 802 is arranged on the inner ring 803, and the air outlet pipe 802 is connected to the air pipe of the pneumatic clamp 9. The outer ring 804 is connected to an external air source via an air inlet pipe 801. A clamping assembly is also arranged on the operating table 401, and the clamping assembly is used to fix the outer ring 804.
[0019] In actual use, the outer ring 804 is fixed by the clamping assembly. When the turntable 402 rotates, the inner ring 803 is driven to rotate, and the inner ring 803 drives the pneumatic clamp 9 to rotate, that is, the inner ring 803 rotates synchronously with the pneumatic clamp 9, which can avoid problems such as entanglement of the air pipe during the rotation of the pneumatic clamp 9, thereby improving the processing efficiency.
[0020] In a specific implementation, the clamping assembly includes two groups of clamping parts 11, which are arranged in mirror symmetry with respect to the axis of the turntable 402. The clamping part 11 is connected to a driving assembly on the side away from the turntable 402, and the driving part is used to drive the clamping part 11 to clamp the outer ring 804.
[0021] During actual use, the driving member drives the clamping part 11 to move toward the outer ring 804, so that the two groups of clamping parts 11 fix the outer ring 804. When the inner ring 803 rotates, it can ensure that the outer ring 804 does not rotate, thereby avoiding the entanglement of the air intake pipe 801 connected to the external air source. The driving member can be an electric telescopic rod, which is arranged on the operating table 401. The driving end of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the clamping part 11, and the clamping of the outer ring 804 by the clamping part 11 is controlled by controlling the electric telescopic rod.
[0022] In a specific implementation manner, Figure 3 As shown, a connecting member 403 is provided on the side of the turntable 402 away from the pneumatic slip ring 8, the connecting member 403 is in a cylindrical structure, a plurality of groups of protrusions are axially arranged inside the connecting member 403, a limiting member 405 is slidably arranged inside the connecting member 403, a limiting groove 407 adapted to the protrusion is opened on the limiting member 405, the limiting member 405 is connected to the connecting member 403 in the moving direction through a first spring 404, and the end of the limiting member 405 away from the turntable 402 is connected to the driving end of the first driving device 10.
[0023] In a specific implementation manner, Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, a groove matched with the turntable 402 is formed on the operating table 401 , and the limiting member 405 is arranged in the second groove 14 .
[0024] Under normal circumstances, that is, when nothing is placed on the turntable 402, including the pneumatic slip ring 8 or the pneumatic clamp 9, under the elastic force of the first spring 404, the turntable 402 is located directly above the first groove 13. When the pneumatic slip ring 8 is placed on the turntable 402, the first spring 404 is compressed, so that the turntable 402 is in the first groove 13.
[0025] In a specific embodiment, a first cavity 15 is opened inside the operating table 401, and the first cavity 15 is connected to the first groove 13. A push rod 16 is horizontally slidably arranged in the first cavity 15. The push rod 16 is arranged on an inclined surface at one end close to the first groove 13, and the push rod 16 is connected to the inner wall of the first cavity 15 at one end away from the first groove 13 through a second spring 17. The push rod 16 is squeezed by the turntable 402 to start the clamping assembly.
[0026] It should be noted that a distance sensor can be provided at the end of the push rod 16 away from the first groove 13. When the push rod 16 is completely squeezed into the first cavity 15, the distance sensor transmits a signal to the control module, which controls the operation of the clamping assembly.
[0027] In a specific implementation manner, a control box 18 is provided on the operating table 401, a vertical rod 19 is rotatably provided in the control box 18, a first gear 20 is provided at one end of the vertical rod 19 and is provided in the first cavity 15, a first rack 21 meshing with the first gear 20 is provided on the push rod 16, and the vertical rod 19 is driven to rotate by the movement of the push rod 16; The end of the vertical rod 19 away from the first gear 20 is provided with a second gear 24 , and the second gear 24 is connected to a movable rod 23 through a second rack 22 . The movable rod 23 is connected to the clamping portion 11 at one end close to the rotating disk 402 .
[0028] During actual use, the pneumatic slip ring 8 is placed on the turntable 402. Under the action of gravity, the first spring 404 is compressed, the turntable 402 contacts the inclined surface of the push rod 16, and squeezes it into the first cavity 15. During the movement, the first rack 21 engages with the first gear 20, driving the vertical rod 19 to rotate, so that the second gear 24 engages with the second rack 22 to drive the movable rod 23 to move toward the side close to the turntable 402, thereby realizing the clamping of the outer ring 804 by the clamping part 11.
[0029] In a specific implementation manner, a non-slip layer is provided on a side of the clamping portion 11 close to the outer ring 804 .
[0030] In a specific implementation manner, Figure 6 As shown, a pressing portion 25 is sleeved on the end of the vertical rod 19 away from the first gear 20, and the pressing portion 25 is slidably connected to the vertical rod 19 through a third spring 26. The second gear 24 is arranged on the pressing portion 25 at one end close to the first gear 20, and the pressing portion 25 is rotatably connected to the control box 18 at one end of the second gear 24 and extends out of the control box 18.
[0031] In a specific embodiment, the movable rod 23 is connected to the inner wall of the control cavity via an elastic rope 27 in the moving direction.
[0032] When the pneumatic slip ring 8 needs to be removed, the pressing part 25 is pressed so that the second gear 24 is no longer meshed with the second rack 22. At this time, the elastic rope 27 pulls the movable rod 23, so that the movable rod 23 drives the clamping part 11 to move toward the inside of the control box 18, so that the clamping part 11 releases the clamping of the outer ring 804. After the pneumatic slip ring 8 is removed, the pressing part 25 is released. Under the elastic force of the third spring 26, the pressing part 25 is reset, that is, the second gear 24 is reset, so that the second gear 24 is re-engaged with the second rack 22, so as to clamp the outer ring 804 when it is used next time.
[0033] It should be noted that a limit assembly should be provided between the pressing portion 25 and the vertical rod 19 to ensure that the two can rotate synchronously.
[0034] In a specific implementation manner, a sliding groove is provided at one end of the vertical rod 19 close to the pressing portion 25 , and a sliding block is correspondingly provided in the pressing portion 25 .
[0035] Principle of use: First, place the pneumatic slip ring 8 on the turntable 402, and fix it on the turntable 402 through a fixing structure. Connect the air inlet pipe 801 to the external air source, place the pneumatic clamp 9 on the pneumatic slip ring 8, and similarly, fix it on the pneumatic slip ring 8 through a fixing structure, and connect the air outlet pipe 802 to the air pipe of the pneumatic clamp 9. Under the action of gravity, the first spring 404 is compressed, the turntable 402 contacts the inclined surface of the push rod 16, and squeezes it into the first cavity 15. During the movement, the first rack 21 engages with the first gear 20, driving the vertical rod 19 to rotate, so that the second gear 24 engages with the second rack 22 to drive the movable rod 23 toward Move closer to one side of the turntable 402 to achieve the clamping of the outer ring 804 by the clamping part 11; when the pneumatic slip ring 8 needs to be removed, the pressing part 25 is pressed so that the second gear 24 and the second rack 22 are no longer meshed. At this time, the elastic rope 27 pulls the movable rod 23, so that the movable rod 23 drives the clamping part 11 to move toward the inside of the control box 18, so that the clamping part 11 releases the clamping of the outer ring 804. After the pneumatic slip ring 8 is removed, the pressing part 25 is released, and under the elastic force of the third spring 26, the pressing part 25 is reset, that is, the second gear 24 is reset, so that the second gear 24 is re-engaged with the second rack 22, so as to clamp the outer ring 804 when it is used next time.
[0036] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
