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 industry, 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 restricts 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 significant 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 industry.

[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 the design defects of 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, restricting the application scope of the machine tool in high-end manufacturing industry.

[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, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern manufacturing industry for high-efficiency, high-precision, and flexible machining. Summary of the Invention

[0027] 5. Compatibility of Intelligence and Flexible Production: The dual installation cavity design of the machine tool rotary table supports the alternate loading and machining of zero-point fixtures.

[0055] A multi-axis machining tool, such as Figures 1 - 3 shown, includes:

[0056] A machine cabin 1, the machine cabin 1 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;

[0058] Three combined tool magazines 4, the three combined tool magazines 4 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 a number of tools are provided in the combined tool magazine 4;

[0059] Three three-axis moving units 5, the three three-axis moving units 5 are respectively installed on the front side, left side and right side of the 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;

[0060] The machine tool rotary table 3, such as Figures 4 - 7As shown in the figure, it 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 transverse movement module is provided between the two. The rotating table 303 is arranged obliquely and is rotatably connected to the working base 302. The rotating table 303 is connected to a rotation driving assembly 305. The rotation driving assembly 305 can drive the rotating table 303 to perform inclined rotation. A receiving cavity 3021 is provided on the working base 302, and a number of mounting cavities 3031 are provided on the rotating table 303. A zero-point clamping system capable of clamping a zero-point fixture is provided 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 provided in the receiving cavity 3021. The electric spindle 306 can extend into the mounting cavity 3031 to be connected to the zero-point fixture.

[0061] Preferably, a number of fixed slide rails are provided on the fixed base 301, and a number of moving sliders are provided 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 precise.

[0062] Preferably, as Figures 6 - 7 shown in the figure, 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.

[0063] Preferably, as Figures 6 - 7 shown in the figure, the rotation driving assembly 305 includes a turntable rotation motor 3051, a rotating sleeve 3052, a sliding shaft 3053, a bevel gear ring and bevel gears. The turntable rotation motor 3051 is installed on the fixed base 301. The rotating sleeve 3052 is connected to the main shaft of the turntable rotation motor 3051. The bevel gear ring is installed on the rotating table 303. One end of the sliding shaft 3053 extends into the rotating sleeve 3052 and is circumferentially and fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 3052 and axially slidably connected. The other end of the sliding shaft 3053 is circumferentially and rotatably connected to the working base 302 and axially fixedly connected and connected to a bevel gear. The bevel gear meshes with the bevel gear ring.

[0064] Preferably, a key is fixed inside one end of the rotating 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 rotating sleeve 3052. The key extends into the sliding key groove for mating connection.

[0065] 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 within the rotating sleeve 3052, and then the key will move within the sliding key groove, thereby realizing the circumferential fixed connection and axial sliding connection between the sliding shaft 3053 and the rotating sleeve 3052.

[0066] 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, it can pop out the starting jaw structure and cooperate with the zero-point fixture installed in the installation cavity 3031, thereby realizing positioning and fixing.

[0067] Preferably, there are two installation cavities 3031 provided on the rotating table 303, and the two installation cavities 3031 are distributed relatively.

[0068] Working process and principle of the machine tool rotating worktable 3:

[0069] 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;

[0070] 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, and then drives the bevel gear ring to rotate, and then drives the rotating table 303 to rotate, so that one installation cavity 3031 rotates to the upper side (from facing forward to facing upward). Then, the zero-point fixture installed with the product can be placed into the installation cavity 3031 through the robotic arm, and then the zero-point clamping system limits and fixes the zero-point fixture;

[0071] Finally, the turntable rotation motor 3051 is started again to drive the rotating table 303 to rotate, so that the installation cavity 3031 installed with the zero-point fixture rotates to the front side, and then the transverse movement module is started again to drive 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, and at this time, the loading and installation of the zero-point fixture are completed.

[0072] The machine tool rotating worktable 3 in the present invention has the following advantages:

[0073] ① Spatial optimization design: By arranging the rotating table 303 obliquely and rotatably connecting it to the working base 302, the overall size of the equipment is significantly reduced, the layout space of the machine tool is saved, and the function realization is not affected at the same time. It is particularly suitable for the processing environment of compact CNC machine tools.

[0074] ② High precision and stability: The cross - movement module uses a linear motor 304 to drive the working base 302. Combining the fixed slide rail of the fixed base 301 and the moving slider of the working base 302, it realizes high - precision positioning of the horizontal sliding of the working base 302, ensuring the stability of movement and the repeat positioning accuracy during the processing.

[0075] ③ Efficient rotary drive: The rotary drive assembly 305 is driven by the meshing of a bevel gear ring and a bevel gear. Cooperating with the circumferential fixation and axial sliding connection of the sliding shaft 3053 and the rotary sleeve 3052, it can automatically adapt to the axial displacement when the working base 302 moves, while maintaining the stability of the rotary power transmission, improving the reliability and efficiency of the tilting rotation of the rotary table 303.

[0076] ④ Modularity and convenient operation: Two relatively distributed mounting cavities 3031 are provided on the rotary table 303, allowing the alternate loading and processing of zero - point fixtures. Cooperating with the electric spindle 306 in the accommodation cavity 3021, it can achieve the rapid docking and separation of zero - point fixtures, reducing the downtime and improving the multi - task processing efficiency.

[0077] ⑤ Precise positioning and fixation: The zero - point clamping system (such as the hydraulic jaw structure 3032) on the cavity wall of the mounting 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 errors caused by vibration or displacement.

[0078] ⑥ Advantages of automated integration: Through the coordinated control of the cross - movement module and the rotary drive assembly 305, it realizes the full - process automation of zero - point fixture loading, positioning, and processing, reduces the need for manual intervention, and significantly improves the production efficiency and the intelligent level of the equipment.

[0079] ⑦ Compact structure and strong functional expandability: The connected design of the mounting 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 processing requirements.

[0080] Through innovative structural design and drive solutions, the present invention solves the problems of large space occupation, low positioning accuracy, and insufficient operation efficiency of the traditional machine tool rotary table, and has the advantages of compactness, high precision, high efficiency, and automation, and is applicable to the field of high - precision numerical control machining.
