[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0019] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by “center”, “up”, “down”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “inside” and “outside”, etc., are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0020] 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 or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0021] The present invention relates to a compact tool change drive mechanism, such as Figures 1 to 11As shown, it includes a fixed sleeve 1, a power shaft 2, a motor, a transmission sleeve 3 and a sliding sleeve 4. The specific structure of each component is as follows: The fixed sleeve 1 is independently fixed and usually fixedly mounted on a mobile platform, and the tool change drive mechanism as a whole can move in the machine tool through the driving of the mobile platform. A positioning groove 1a extending along the axial direction of the fixed sleeve 1 is provided on the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 1; the fixed sleeve 1 is also provided with a push block 1b capable of entering and moving out of the positioning groove 1a, and the push block 1b enters the positioning groove 1a from the side of the positioning groove 1a toward the outside of the fixed sleeve 1.
[0022] The power shaft 2 is arranged in the fixed sleeve 1 and rotates along its own axis. A screw rod 2a is arranged at one end of the power shaft 2; a transmission disc 2b fixed relatively to the power shaft 2 is sleeved at the other end; and a first gear ring is arranged on the end surface of the transmission disc 2b facing the screw rod 2a.
[0023] The motor is fixed on the fixed sleeve 1 and drives the power shaft 2 to rotate through gear transmission, belt transmission or chain transmission.
[0024] The transmission sleeve 3 is arranged in the fixed sleeve 1, and the transmission sleeve 3 rotates along its own axis. A positioning slider 3a is arranged on the side of the transmission sleeve 3 to move along the radial direction of the transmission sleeve 3; an engaging disk 3b is arranged to move along the axis of the transmission sleeve 3 at one end of the transmission sleeve 3 facing the transmission disk 2b, and a second gear ring is arranged on the end face of the engaging disk 3b facing the first gear ring. The transmission sleeve 3 is also provided with a transmission structure for the linkage of the positioning slider 3a and the engaging disk 3b, so that when the positioning slider 3a moves outward (i.e. away from the axis of the transmission sleeve 3), the engaging disk 3b moves away from the transmission disk 2b, and when the positioning slider 3a moves inward (i.e. close to the axis of the transmission sleeve 3), the engaging disk 3b moves close to the transmission disk 2b.
[0025] The sliding sleeve 4 slides along the axis in the transmission sleeve 3 and rotates synchronously with the transmission sleeve 3. One end of the sliding sleeve 4 is sleeved on the screw rod 2a and meshes with the screw rod 2a to form a screw rod slider structure. The other end of the sliding sleeve 4 always extends out of the fixed sleeve 1, and the extended end is used to install the tool change arm.
[0026] The working principle of this compact tool change drive mechanism can be understood in conjunction with its corresponding usage method. The usage method of the compact tool change drive mechanism is as follows: Tool changing arm moving step: This step is the extension and retraction of the tool changing arm. The position of the tool claw on the tool changing arm needs to be kept accurate to ensure that the tool claw can smoothly clamp the tool. Therefore, the sliding sleeve 4 can only extend and retract but cannot rotate. Figure 7 and Fig.10As shown, the push block 1b moves out of the positioning groove 1a, so that the positioning slider 3a of the transmission sleeve 3 can extend into the positioning groove 1a, thereby limiting the rotation of the transmission sleeve 3, and then limiting the rotation of the sliding sleeve 4; and driven by the transmission structure, the engaging plate 3b will move away from the transmission plate 2b, so that the first gear ring and the second gear ring are separated. At this time, after the motor drives the power shaft 2 to rotate, the sliding sleeve 4 can only be driven to slide through the screw rod 2a to realize the movement of the tool changing arm.
[0027] Tool changing arm rotation step: This step is the action of the tool changing arm rotating to swap the positions of the two tool claws. It is necessary to maintain that the sliding sleeve 4 can only rotate but cannot produce the extension and retraction movement. Figure 8 and Fig.11 As shown, the push block 1b enters the positioning groove 1a, pushes the positioning slider 3a of the transmission sleeve 3 out of the positioning groove 1a, and driven by the transmission structure, the meshing plate 3b will approach the transmission plate 2b, so that the first gear ring and the second gear ring are meshed, and the power shaft 2 will drive the transmission sleeve 3 to rotate synchronously through the transmission plate 2b, and then drive the sliding sleeve 4 to rotate. In this case, since the power shaft 2 and the sliding sleeve 4 are in a state of synchronous rotation, the screw rod 2a will not drive the sliding sleeve 4 to move.
[0028] After the positioning slider 3a is offset from the positioning groove 1a, the push block 1b is immediately moved out of the positioning groove 1a. At this time, after the transmission sleeve 3 is rotated by a specific angle to realign the positioning slider 3a with the positioning groove 1a, the positioning slider 3a will enter the positioning groove 1a, and the first gear ring and the second gear ring will separate, thus restricting the rotation of the transmission sleeve 3 again and completing the rotation and transposition of the tool changing arm.
[0029] It can be seen that the tool change drive mechanism can achieve the two actions of moving and rotating the tool change arm through the above structure by one motor, so its main structure can be greatly reduced, and it is not necessary to set two sets of power structures for moving and rotating like the traditional drive mechanism. At the same time, the tool change drive mechanism can not only ensure the accuracy of positioning, but also eliminate the traditional numerous monitoring systems in the rotation positioning of the tool change arm through the physical cooperation between the positioning slider 3a and the positioning groove 1a, so that the mechanism can be further reduced.
[0030] In addition, due to the structural characteristics of the starting and hydraulic driving devices, the traditional tool change drive machine not only generates a large impact during the movement of the tool change arm, but also can only stop the tool change arm at two extreme positions. However, the present mechanism drives the sliding sleeve 4 through the screw rod 2a, which not only reduces the vibration impact during the movement, but also when the sliding sleeve 4 drives the tool change arm to move to any position, the tool change arm can be rotated and replaced by the method in the tool change arm rotation step, thereby greatly improving the usable scenarios of the present mechanism.
[0031] The action of the push block 1b can be achieved by existing technologies such as electromagnetic pushers, and in order to minimize the structure of the driving push block 1b, it is preferred to use Fig. 9 The structure shown is as follows: the fixed sleeve 1 also includes a rotating transposition sleeve 1c, which is sleeved on the outside of the fixed sleeve 1 so that it can rotate on the fixed sleeve 1; the push block 1b is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rotating transposition sleeve 1c, and a rotating groove that passes through the inside and outside of the fixed sleeve 1 is provided on the outside of the fixed sleeve 1, and the push block 1b will change its position in the rotating groove as the rotating transposition sleeve 1c rotates; a gear or worm gear is provided on the outside of the rotating transposition sleeve 1c, and at this time, a small motor can be used to drive the rotation of the rotating transposition sleeve 1c; an inclined surface is provided on the push block 1b, and the inclined surface can better push the positioning slider 3a.
[0032] Preferably, the side of the push block 1b facing the transmission sleeve 3 is set as a curved surface, and the radius of the curved surface is equal to the radius of the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 1, so that when the transmission sleeve 3 rotates, the positioning slider 3a can smoothly offset from the positioning groove 1a along the curved surface of the push block 1b without being stuck.
[0033] The transmission structure in the transmission sleeve 3 can be realized by a purely mechanical connection form such as a connecting rod, but the connecting rod is difficult to manufacture and wears quickly. Therefore, a better transmission structure form using hydraulic oil is proposed in this mechanism, such as Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, including: A first oil passage 3c is provided at one end of the transmission sleeve 3 close to the meshing plate 3b, and one end of the first oil passage 3c is communicated with the end surface of the transmission sleeve 3; The first piston 3d moves in the first oil passage 3c, and one end of the first piston 3d extends outwards, and is pushed by the extension; The second oil passage 3e is arranged on the outer side of the transmission sleeve 3, and one end of the second oil passage 3e is connected to the side of the transmission sleeve 3; The second piston 3f is fixedly connected to the positioning slider 3a and moves in the second oil passage 3e; The connecting oil passage 3g is connected to the first oil passage 3c and the second oil passage 3e; A spring rod 3h, one end of which passes through the transmission sleeve 3 and is fixedly connected to the engagement disc 3b, and the other end of which is provided with a chuck; The first spring 3i is sleeved on the spring rod 3h and arranged between the chuck and the transmission sleeve 3; The second spring 3j is arranged between the transmission sleeve 3 and the positioning slider 3a.
[0034] The operating principle of this transmission structure is as follows: When the push block 1b pushes the positioning slider 3a to move inward, the second spring 3j will be squeezed, and the second piston 3f will move inward, squeezing out the hydraulic oil in the second oil channel 3e. The squeezed hydraulic oil will enter the first oil channel 3c along the connecting oil channel 3g, thereby pushing the first piston 3d. The first piston 3d will move outward and push the meshing plate 3b toward the transmission plate 2b. The first spring 3i will be compressed, and finally the first gear ring and the second gear ring will be meshed. During the rotation of the transmission sleeve 3, the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 1 will always press the positioning slider 3a, so that the positioning slider 3a is always in a state of stopping at the innermost side, so that the first gear ring and the second gear ring remain meshed.
[0035] When the push block 1b moves out of the positioning groove 1a and the transmission sleeve 3 rotates until the positioning slider 3a is aligned with the positioning groove 1a, the positioning slider 3a will be pushed into the positioning groove 1a by the compressed second spring 3j. At this time, the oil will return from the first oil channel 3c to the second oil channel 3e, and the compressed first spring 3i will also push the meshing plate 3b to move away from the transmission plate 2b, thereby realizing the separation of the first gear ring and the second gear ring.
[0036] Preferably, the transmission structure further includes: an oil filling passage 3k, which is arranged on the outer side of the transmission sleeve 3 and communicates with the connecting oil passage 3g; and a sealing plug 31, which is used to block the oil filling passage 3k. With this structure, the optimal amount of hydraulic oil can be accurately injected into the transmission structure to avoid excessive pressure caused by too much oil or failure of linkage caused by too little oil. The specific steps for installation are as follows: After installing all parts except the motor and the sealing plug 3l, push the positioning slider 3a to the innermost side, then rotate the transmission sleeve 3 at an angle to stagger the positioning slider 3a and the positioning groove 1a and maintain them, then manually pull the engaging plate 3b to make the first gear ring and the second gear ring mesh and maintain them, then fill oil through the refueling oil channel 3k, stop refueling when you see oil overflowing from the refueling oil channel 3k, and then install the sealing plug 3l; finally, rotate the transmission sleeve 3 back to the angle where the positioning slider 3a and the positioning groove 1a are aligned, and then install the motor to complete the installation.
[0037] Preferably, a slide groove is provided at the end of the positioning slider 3a, and a limit screw is provided on the transmission sleeve 3. The limit screw is screwed on the transmission sleeve 3, and the bottom of the limit screw extends into the slide groove. The sliding distance of the positioning slider 3a is controlled by the limit screw to prevent the positioning slider 3a from falling. When the positioning slider 3a is controlled to slide to the outermost side, only half of the positioning slider 3a extends into the positioning groove 1a, so that when the transmission sleeve 3 is restricted, it can transmit force through the side of the positioning slider 3a, thereby ensuring the limiting effect and protecting the second piston 3f from being skewed.
[0038] In order to ensure that the positioning slider 3a can move more smoothly, two of the second oil channel 3e, the second piston 3f, the second spring 3j, the slide groove and the limit screw are respectively provided at both ends of the positioning slider 3a.
[0039] The sliding sleeve 4 slides along the axis in the transmission sleeve 3 and rotates synchronously with the transmission sleeve 3 through the following structure: a guide groove extending along the axis is set on the inner wall of the transmission sleeve 3; a guide key extending into the guide groove is fixedly set on the outer side of the sliding sleeve 4; an oil plug 3m is fixedly set at one end of the transmission sleeve 3 close to the tool change arm to block the end face of the guide groove. This structure can make the sliding sleeve 4 more convenient to install, and under this structure, the length of the guide key can be set relatively long, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the sliding sleeve 4.
[0040] Since the side of the positioning slider 3a away from the transmission sleeve 3 will generate friction with the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 1, this side can be set to a curved surface structure to reduce friction and increase the service life of the components.
[0041] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
