Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of constant velocity joint machining, and particularly to a hard turning and hard milling compound machine tool for constant velocity joint inclined grooves. Background Art
[0002] In the field of automotive parts machining, as a key transmission component, the machining accuracy of the inclined grooves of the constant velocity joint directly affects the transmission performance and service life. The traditional machining of constant velocity joint inclined grooves generally uses the grinding process, which relies on a large amount of grinding fluid for cooling and lubrication. This not only causes environmental pollution and increases the cost of waste liquid treatment, but also easily causes burns on the surface of the ball track due to the concentration of grinding heat, affecting the machining quality. In addition, the grinding process has problems such as low machining efficiency, complex equipment adjustment, and cumulative errors caused by multi-process batch clamping, making it difficult to meet the modern machining requirements of high precision and automation. With the development of hard turning and hard milling technologies, the machining concept of replacing grinding with turning and milling has gradually attracted attention. However, existing hard turning and hard milling equipment still faces many challenges in the machining of constant velocity joint inclined grooves: 1. Insufficient positioning accuracy: The accuracy of the spindle indexing and turntable swing mechanisms of traditional machine tools is difficult to meet the angle tolerance requirements of inclined grooves. Especially when machining multi-groove equal division, angle deviation is likely to occur. 2. Poor machine tool stability: The metal bed body is prone to deformation during high-speed milling vibration, affecting the surface roughness of the machining. 3. Low degree of automation: Loading and unloading rely on manual or semi-automatic mechanisms, and full-process automatic detection, positioning, and transfer of workpieces cannot be achieved, restricting the improvement of production efficiency. 4. Low machining efficiency: Existing inner holes and grooves need to be machined in two processes using two devices respectively, resulting in low machining efficiency and poor secondary clamping accuracy.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hard turning and hard milling compound machine tool with high precision, high stability, and full-automatic loading and unloading functions to solve the defects of the traditional grinding process and promote the green and efficient upgrading of constant velocity joint machining technology.

The feeding air cylinder 602 can push the workpiece blanking table 603 and the second workpiece positioning device 604 to move horizontally along the feeding linear guide rail 601. During feeding, the workpiece to be processed is placed on the second workpiece positioning device 604 through the second feeding mechanism (7), and then sent to the waiting processing station through the feeding air cylinder 602. Then, the workpiece to be processed is clamped by the main shaft fixture 306 on the C1 main shaft 305 and sent for processing. After processing, the processed workpiece is placed on the workpiece blanking table 603, sent out through the feeding air cylinder 602, and sent to the first blanking channel 505 through the second feeding mechanism 7.

[0029] Working principle: The workpiece to be processed is as Figures 17-18 shown. There are six grooves inside the workpiece, which are milled out by the milling spindle (205). Among them, grooves 1, 3, and 5 are inclined 16° to the left (groove interval angle 120°), and grooves 2, 4, and 6 are inclined 16° to the right (groove interval angle 120°). The six grooves are equally divided at an angle of 60°, and the groove angle inclination direction is the same every 120 degrees; The milling spindle (205) swings 16° to the left and successively mills grooves 1, 3, and 5 (as Figure 22 shown), and the milling spindle (205) swings 16° to the right and successively mills grooves 2, 4, and 6 (as Figure 23 shown); First, place the workpiece to be processed on the first loading track 501 (which can store 30 - 50 pieces). The loading track is in a 7-shaped layout, and the workpiece automatically flows to the position of the material grabbing station 503 on the second loading track 502. The second loading track 502 is equipped with a workpiece in-place detection function. When there is material at the material grabbing station 503, the second loading track 502 stops running; The pneumatic gripper 705 on the second feeding mechanism 7 grabs the workpiece and transfers it to the position of the first workpiece positioning device 507. A detection switch is installed there. The gripper rotation servo motor 706 drives the pneumatic gripper 705 to rotate through the synchronous belt 707, and rotates according to the detection switch to detect the groove angle inside the product; After the detection is completed, the product is placed on the second workpiece positioning device 604, and then sent to the waiting processing station by the feeding cylinder 602. Then, the workpiece to be processed is clamped by the spindle fixture 306 on the C1 spindle 305 and sent for processing. After the processing is completed, the processed workpiece is placed on the workpiece unloading table 603, sent out by the feeding cylinder 602, and sent to the first unloading channel 505 through the second feeding mechanism 7 to complete the processing. Processing action: During processing, the rotating part 2 swings 16° to the left (corresponding to the product angle) and is in the same position as the inclination angle of the inner groove of the product. The inner groove 1 of the product is milled by Y / Z axis interpolation. After the groove milling is completed, the tool withdraws from the milling position. The C1 spindle 305 drives the workpiece to rotate 120°, and then continues to mill the other two equally divided grooves 3 and 5 according to the above steps. After the milling of the three equally divided grooves is completed, the rotating part returns to the zero position. The C1 spindle 305 rotates 60°, and the rotating part 2 rotates 16° to the right (corresponding to the product angle) and then repeats the above steps to mill the other three equally divided grooves (2, 4, 6).
