Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of numerical control machine tools, and more specifically to a multi-axis machining machine tool. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of modern manufacturing, the requirements for the precision, efficiency, and complexity of machining are getting higher and higher. Some problems gradually emerge in the actual application of traditional multi-axis machining machine tools, making it difficult to meet the growing production demands.

[0003] Traditional multi-axis machining machine tools are usually bulky, and their structural layout is not compact enough, resulting in a large floor area of the equipment. For some production environments with limited space, it is difficult to make effective use of them. This not only limits the layout flexibility of the workshop but also increases the installation and maintenance costs of the equipment.

[0004] When machining complex parts, the tool change efficiency of traditional machine tools is relatively low. The tool change process often takes a lot of time, resulting in an extended downtime of the equipment and a greater impact on production efficiency. Especially in small-batch and multi-variety production, frequent tool change operations make it difficult to improve production efficiency and are difficult to meet the flexible production requirements of modern manufacturing.

[0005] In addition, there are also certain limitations in the transmission accuracy and stability of traditional multi-axis machine tools. During the machining process, due to design defects in the machine tool structure and transmission system, vibrations and transmission errors are likely to occur, affecting the accuracy and surface quality of the machined parts. This is particularly obvious when machining high-precision and complex curved surface parts, limiting the application scope of the machine tool in high-end manufacturing.

[0006] In summary, traditional multi-axis machining machine tools have many deficiencies in terms of machining efficiency, space utilization rate, tool change efficiency, transmission accuracy, and stability, and are difficult to meet the requirements of modern manufacturing for high-efficiency, high-precision, and flexible machining. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a multi-axis machining machine tool.

[0027] A multi-axis machining tool, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, includes: A machine cabin 1, which is fixed on a base 2, and three combined tool magazines 4 and three three-axis moving units 5 are both located inside the machine cabin 1; The base 2, on which three three-axis moving units 5 and three combined tool magazines 4 are both installed; Three combined tool magazines 4, which are respectively located above the three three-axis moving units 5, and the three combined tool magazines 4 are installed on the machine cabin 1, and several tools are arranged in the combined tool magazine 4; Three three-axis moving units 5, which are respectively installed on the front side, left side and right side of a machine tool rotary table 3. The three-axis moving unit 5 includes a mounting base 501, a three-axis module and a rotating spindle 505. The rotating spindle 505 is installed on the three-axis module, the three-axis module is installed on the mounting base 501, and the three-axis module can drive the rotating spindle 505 to perform three-axis movement adjustment; The machine tool rotary table 3, as Figures 4 - 7 shown, includes a fixed base 301, a working base 302 and a rotating table 303. The working base 302 is horizontally slidably connected to the fixed base 301 and a cross-slide module is arranged between the two. The rotating table 303 is inclined and rotatably connected to the working base 302. The rotating table 303 is connected with a rotation driving component 305, and the rotation driving component 305 can drive the rotating table 303 to perform inclined rotation. A receiving cavity 3021 is arranged on the working base 302, and several mounting cavities 3031 are arranged on the rotating table 303. A zero-point clamping system capable of clamping a zero-point fixture is arranged in the mounting cavity 3031. The mounting cavity 3031 communicates with the receiving cavity 3021. An electric spindle 306 capable of driving the zero-point clamping system to rotate is arranged in the receiving cavity 3021, and the electric spindle 306 can extend into the mounting cavity 3031 to be connected with the zero-point fixture.

[0028] Preferably, several fixed slide rails are arranged on the fixed base 301, and several moving sliders are arranged on the working base 302. The moving sliders cooperate with the fixed slide rails, so that the working base 302 is horizontally slidably connected to the fixed base 301 and the sliding is accurate.

[0029] Preferably, as Figures 6 - 7As shown, the transverse movement module includes a linear motor 304, the linear motor 304 is installed on the fixed base 301, and the driving end of the linear motor 304 is connected to the working base 302.

[0030] Preferably, as Figures 6 - 7 shown, the rotary drive assembly 305 includes a turntable rotary motor 3051, a rotary sleeve 3052, a sliding shaft 3053, a bevel gear ring and a bevel gear. The turntable rotary motor 3051 is installed on the fixed base 301. The rotary sleeve 3052 is connected to the main shaft of the turntable rotary motor 3051. The bevel gear ring is installed on the rotary table 303. One end of the sliding shaft 3053 extends into the rotary sleeve 3052 and is circumferentially and fixedly connected to the rotary sleeve 3052 and axially slidably connected. The other end of the sliding shaft 3053 is circumferentially rotatably connected to the working base 302 and axially fixedly connected and connected to the bevel gear. The bevel gear meshes with the bevel gear ring.

[0031] Preferably, a key is fixed inside one end of the rotary sleeve 3052 connected to the sliding shaft 3053. A sliding key groove is provided at one end of the sliding shaft 3053 connected to the rotary sleeve 3052. The key extends into the sliding key groove for mating connection. Specifically, when the transverse movement module drives the working base 302 to move relative to the fixed base 301, the sliding shaft 3053 will axially move inside the rotary sleeve 3052, and then the key will move inside the sliding key groove, so as to realize the circumferential fixed connection and axial sliding connection between the sliding shaft 3053 and the rotary sleeve 3052.

[0032] Preferably, the zero-point clamping system can adopt a hydraulic jaw structure 3032. The hydraulic jaw structure 3032 is installed on the cavity wall and connected to the oil pressure pump. When it is opened, the starting jaw structure can pop out and cooperate with the zero-point fixture installed in the installation cavity 3031, so as to realize positioning and fixing.

[0033] Preferably, there are two installation cavities 3031 on the rotary table 303, and the two installation cavities 3031 are distributed oppositely.

[0034] Working process and principle of the machine tool rotary worktable 3: During use, first drive the working base 302 to move (move forward) through the transverse movement module, so that the connecting piece connected to the electric spindle 306 relatively extends out of the installation cavity 3031; Subsequently, the turntable rotation motor 3051 is started, which drives the rotating sleeve 3052, the sliding shaft 3053, and the bevel gear ring to rotate in sequence. Further, it drives the bevel gear ring to rotate, and then drives the turntable 303 to rotate, so that an installation cavity 3031 rotates to the upper side (from facing the front to facing the upper side). Then, the zero-point fixture with the product installed can be placed into the installation cavity 3031 through the robotic arm. Next, the zero-point clamping system limits and fixes the zero-point fixture. Finally, the turntable rotation motor 3051 is started again to drive the turntable 303 to rotate, so that the installation cavity 3031 with the zero-point fixture rotates to the front side. Then, the cross-movement module is started, driving the working base to move (move backward), so that the electric spindle 306 extends into the installation cavity 3031 and is connected to the zero-point fixture. Finally, the zero-point clamping system releases the zero-point fixture. At this time, the loading and installation of the zero-point fixture are completed.

[0035] The machine tool rotary table 3 in the present invention has the following advantages: ① Space optimization design: By arranging the turntable 303 obliquely and rotatably connecting it to the working base 302, the overall size of the equipment is significantly reduced, saving the layout space of the machine tool. At the same time, it does not affect the function realization, and is particularly suitable for the processing environment of compact CNC machine tools.

[0036] ② High precision and stability: The cross-movement module uses a linear motor 304 to drive the working base 302. Combined with the fixed slide rail of the fixed base 301 and the moving slider of the working base 302, high-precision positioning of the horizontal sliding of the working base 302 is achieved, ensuring the stability and repeat positioning accuracy of the movement during the processing.

[0037] ③ Efficient rotation drive: The rotation drive assembly 305 is driven by the meshing of the bevel gear ring and the bevel gear. Combined with the circumferential fixation and axial sliding connection of the sliding shaft 3053 and the rotating sleeve 3052, it can automatically adapt to the axial displacement when the working base 302 moves, while maintaining the stability of the rotation power transmission, improving the reliability and efficiency of the inclined rotation of the turntable 303.

[0038] ④ Modularity and convenient operation: Two relatively distributed installation cavities 3031 are provided on the turntable 303, allowing the alternate loading and processing of the zero-point fixture. Combined with the electric spindle 306 in the accommodation cavity 3021, rapid docking and separation of the zero-point fixture can be achieved, reducing the downtime and improving the multi-task processing efficiency.

[0039] ⑤ Precise positioning and fixation: The zero-point clamping system (such as the hydraulic jaw structure 3032) on the cavity wall of the installation cavity 3031 can quickly clamp and release the zero-point fixture, ensuring the position stability of the zero-point fixture during rotation and processing, and reducing the processing error caused by vibration or displacement.

[0040] ⑥Advantages of automated integration: Through the coordinated control of the cross - transfer module and the rotary drive component 305, the full - process automation of loading, positioning, and machining of the zero - point fixture is realized, reducing the need for manual intervention and significantly improving production efficiency and the intelligent level of the equipment.

[0041] ⑦Compact structure and strong functional expandability: The connected design of the installation cavity 3031 and the accommodation cavity 3021 simplifies the connection path between the electric spindle 306 and the zero - point fixture, facilitating later maintenance or the expansion of functional modules to adapt to diverse machining requirements.

[0042] Through innovative structural design and drive solutions, the present invention solves problems such as large space occupation, low positioning accuracy, and insufficient operation efficiency of traditional machine - tool rotary tables.
