[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4 , a four-axis tapping structure of a vertical machining center, comprising: Rack 1; The clamping unit 2 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 and is used to clamp and fix the workpiece; The rotating unit 3 is rotatably connected to the surface of the frame 1 and is slidably connected to the end of the clamping unit 2, and is used to cooperate with the clamping unit 2 to realize the opening and closing of the clamping unit 2; The rotating unit 4 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and a tapping unit 6 is installed at the end thereof, so as to drive the tapping unit 6 to rotate, thereby realizing the tapping of the workpiece; The lifting unit 5 is slidably connected to the surface of the rotating unit 4 and is used to cooperate with the rotating unit 4 to realize the lifting and lowering of the tapping unit 6.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, when tapping a workpiece, the workpiece is placed in the clamping unit 2, and the rotating unit 4 is turned on. The rotating unit 4 can drive the tapping unit 6 to rotate, and the lifting unit 5 can drive the tapping unit 6 to slide up and down in cooperation with the rotating unit 4. The rotating unit 3 is turned on, and the clamping unit 2 can periodically clamp and open in cooperation with the rotating unit 3. When the clamping unit 2 clamps and fixes the workpiece, the tapping unit 6 can tap the workpiece. When the tapping unit 6 completes tapping the workpiece, the clamping unit 2 can automatically open, and the tapping unit 6 will tap the workpiece in the next group of clamping units 2, which is convenient for rapid replacement of workpieces and has the advantage of high tapping efficiency.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping unit 2 comprises: A workbench 21 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and three sets of sliding frames 22 are slidably connected to the surface of the workbench 21; The rotating shaft 23 is fixed on the three sets of sliding frames 22, and the surface of the rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected with two sets of clamping members 24; The tripod 25 is fixed at the center of the side of the workbench 21 .

[0025] In this embodiment, when tapping the workpiece, the workpiece is first placed between the two groups of clamps 24, and the rotating unit 3 is turned on. The rotating unit 3 can drive the two groups of clamps 24 to rotate to the bottom of the tapping unit 6 through the workbench 21, and at the same time, the sliding frame 22 will slide toward the direction close to the tripod 25 under the action of the rotating unit 3. When sliding, the sliding frame 22 can drive the two groups of clamps 24 to slide synchronously through the rotating shaft 23, so that the two groups of clamps 24 push the workpiece to contact the side of the tripod 25, and the two groups of clamps 24 will rotate close to each other on the surface of the rotating shaft 23 under the action of the rotating unit 3, so that the two groups of clamps 24 are in close contact with the surface of the workpiece, so the workpiece will be clamped and fixed under the joint action of the two groups of clamps 24 and the tripod 25, which is convenient for the tapping unit 6 to tap the workpiece.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rotating unit 3 includes: A driving member 31 is mounted on the frame 1; A driving shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, one end of which is connected to the output end of the driving member 31, and the other end of which is connected to the center of the workbench 21; The ring 33 is fixed on the frame 1, and the inner wall thereof is slidably connected to the end of the sliding frame 22 away from the rotating shaft 23 and the surface of the workbench 21; The convex member 34 is connected to the inner wall of the ring 33, and its surface is slidably connected to the end of the sliding frame 22 away from the rotating shaft 23; V-shaped groove 35, provided on the workbench 21; A sliding post 36 is fixed on the clamping member 24, and the end portion is slidably connected in the V-shaped groove 35; The guide member 37 is fixed on the sliding frame 22, and its end is slidably connected in a slide groove on the surface of the workbench 21, and the guide member 37 is connected to the inner wall of the slide groove through an elastic object.

[0027] In this embodiment, the driving member 31 is turned on, and the output end of the driving member 31 can drive the workbench 21 to rotate on the surface of the frame 1 through the driving shaft 32. When the workbench 21 rotates, it can drive the three groups of sliding frames 22 on its surface to rotate synchronously. The sliding frame 22 will drive the clamping member 24 on its surface to rotate through the rotating shaft 23. When the sliding frame 22 rotates to contact the surface of the convex member 34, the sliding frame 22 will slide on the surface of the workbench 21 toward the direction close to the tripod 25 under the action of the convex member 34. When sliding, the sliding frame 22 will drive the guide member 37 to compress the elastic material in the slide groove until the two groups of clamping members 24 push the workpiece to contact the side of the tripod 25.

[0028] When sliding, the two groups of clamping members 24 will respectively drive the sliding columns 36 on their sides to slide in the corresponding V-grooves 35. Therefore, in the process of the two groups of sliding columns 36 gradually sliding to the midpoint of the V-grooves 35, the two groups of sliding columns 36 will drive the two groups of clamping members 24 to move closer to each other on the surface of the rotating shaft 23 under the action of the V-grooves 35 until the two groups of clamping members 24 are in close contact with the surface of the workpiece. Therefore, the workpiece will be clamped and fixed under the joint action of the two groups of clamping members 24 and the tripod 25, which is convenient for the tapping unit 6 to perform tapping operations on the workpiece.

[0029] When the tapping unit 6 completes tapping the workpiece below it, the driving member 31 continues to drive the worktable 21 to rotate on the surface of the frame 1. When the end of the sliding frame 22 rotates to disengage from the convex member 34, the guide member 37 will drive the sliding frame 22 to slide on the surface of the worktable 21 away from the tripod 25 under the elastic force of the elastic material. At this time, the two groups of sliding columns 36 will slide in the V-groove 35 toward the two ends of the V-groove 35. Therefore, the two groups of sliding columns 36 will drive the two groups of clamping members 24 to open each other on the surface of the rotating shaft 23 under the action of the V-groove 35 until the two groups of clamping members 24 rotate to disengage from the surface of the workpiece, so that the tapped workpiece can be taken out from the two groups of clamping members 24, which is convenient for quick replacement of the workpiece.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating unit 4 includes: A support frame 41 is connected to the frame 1 and a driver 42 is mounted on the side; The rotating cylinder 43 is rotatably connected to the support frame 41, and the end portion is connected to the output end of the driver 42; The rotating rod 44 is slidably connected inside the rotating cylinder 43, and a tapping unit 6 is installed at the end away from the rotating cylinder 43. The surface of the rotating rod 44 and the inside of the rotating cylinder 43 are connected through a spline shaft and a spline sleeve.

[0031] In this embodiment, the driver 42 is turned on, and the output end of the driver 42 drives the rotating cylinder 43 to rotate. Since the rotating rod 44 and the rotating cylinder 43 are connected through the spline shaft and the spline sleeve, the rotating cylinder 43 drives the tapping unit 6 to rotate through the rotating rod 44, so that the tapping unit 6 can perform tapping operations on the workpiece. The driver 42 and the driving member 31 can both be electric motors or pneumatic motors, which are not limited here.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lifting unit 5 includes: The fixing frame 51 is connected to the side of the supporting frame 41 and has at least two groups of positioning grooves 59 on its surface; The slider 52 has one side slidably connected to the inside of the positioning groove 59, and the surface of the rotating cylinder 43 is rotatably connected to the inside of the slider 52; An elastic member 58 connected between the side surface of the slider 52 and the side surface of the support frame 41; The sliding member 53 is connected to the side of the slider 52 through the connecting rod 54. The surface of the rotating rod 44 is rotatably connected to the inside of the sliding member 53. A rotating wheel is installed on the surface of the rotating rod 44. The rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the inside of the sliding member 53. The arc groove 55 is formed on the surface of the rotating cylinder 43; The vertical groove 56 is formed on the surface of the rotating cylinder 43, and the two ends thereof are respectively connected to the two ends of the arc groove 55; The sliding shaft 57 is fixed on the sliding block 52 , and its ends are slidably connected inside the arc groove 55 and the vertical groove 56 .

[0033] In this embodiment, when the rotating cylinder 43 rotates clockwise, the arc groove 55 on its surface can be driven to rotate synchronously. Since the end of the sliding shaft 57 is slidably connected in the arc groove 55, the slider 52 will slide downward on the side of the fixed frame 51 under the action of the arc groove 55 and the sliding shaft 57. The positioning groove 59 can guide and limit the slider 52, thereby improving the stability of the slider 52 sliding on the side of the fixed frame 51.

[0034] The slider 52 can stretch the elastic member 58 when sliding downward. When the sliding shaft 57 slides to the lower end of the arc groove 55, the slider 52 slides to the lowest point. Since the lower end of the vertical groove 56 is connected to the lower end of the arc groove 55, the sliding shaft 57 will enter the lower end of the vertical groove 56. Therefore, the slider 52 will drive the sliding shaft 57 to slide in the vertical groove 56 in the opposite direction (upward) under the elastic force of the elastic member 58 until the sliding shaft 57 slides to the upper end of the vertical groove 56. At this time, the slider 52 slides to the highest point. Similarly, since the upper end of the vertical groove 56 is connected to the upper end of the arc groove 55, the slider 52 will slide downward again under the action of the arc groove 55 and the sliding shaft 57, and the cycle will be repeated in sequence, so that the slider 52 will slide back and forth up and down under the action of the arc groove 55, the vertical groove 56 and the sliding shaft 57.

[0035] When the slider 52 reciprocates up and down, it will drive the sliding member 53 at its end to reciprocate up and down synchronously through the connecting rod 54, so the sliding member 53 will drive the tapping unit 6 at its end to reciprocate up and down through the rotating rod 44, so that the tapping unit 6 can tap the workpiece in sequence. The elastic member 58 and the elastic object can be a spring or elastic rubber, which is not limited here.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the tapping unit 6 comprises: A first gear 61 is mounted on the surface of the rotating rod 44; The taps 62 are rotatably connected in the sliding member 53, and the taps 62 are installed in four groups; The second gear 63 is installed on the surface of the tap 62 and is meshed with the first gear 61 .

[0037] In this embodiment, when the rotating rod 44 rotates in the sliding member 53, it can drive the first gear 61 on its surface to rotate synchronously. Since the second gear 63 and the first gear 61 are meshed and connected, the four groups of second gears 63 will respectively drive the four groups of taps 62 to rotate in the sliding member 53 under the action of the first gear 61, so that the four groups of taps 62 can tap the workpiece at the same time.

[0038] Since a rotating wheel is installed on the surface of the rotating rod 44, and the rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the inside of the sliding member 53, when the slider 52 drives the sliding member 53 to slide up and down reciprocatingly through the connecting rod 54, the sliding member 53 will drive the rotating rod 44 to slide up and down synchronously through the rotating wheel. Therefore, when the sliding member 53 is lifted or lowered, the first gear 61 and the second gear 63 are always in a meshing state, so that the four groups of taps 62 can always keep rotating, which is convenient for the four groups of taps 62 to perform tapping operations on the workpiece.

[0039] The working principle of the present invention is: when tapping a workpiece, the workpiece is placed between the two groups of clamps 24, and the rotating unit 3 is turned on. The rotating unit 3 can drive the two groups of clamps 24 to rotate to the bottom of the tapping unit 6 through the workbench 21. At the same time, the sliding frame 22 will slide toward the direction close to the tripod 25 under the action of the rotating unit 3, so that the two groups of clamps 24 push the workpiece to contact the side of the tripod 25, and the two groups of clamps 24 are in close contact with the surface of the workpiece, so the workpiece will be clamped and fixed under the joint action of the two groups of clamps 24 and the tripod 25, which is convenient for the tapping unit 6 to tap the workpiece.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or mutual communication; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
