Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of CNC lathe tools, and particularly relates to a shock-absorbing rotary tool for a CNC lathe. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of machining large worms, internal and external threads, and deep grooves, traditional tools have significant defects. Due to large fluctuations in cutting force during the machining process, the tool is prone to resonance, resulting in frequent "tool chipping" phenomena. This not only accelerates tool wear but also seriously affects the surface roughness of the machining, reducing the quality of the finished product. In addition, the existing tool structures are single, and only one type of tool body can be installed on the same tool holder. For rough machining, semi-finishing machining, and finishing machining, different tools need to be replaced step by step. Frequent tool changing not only takes time and reduces efficiency but also easily introduces errors during repeated clamping, affecting the machining accuracy. Especially when machining large-sized workpieces, the tool-changing process may be difficult to operate due to the space limitation of the machine tool, further restricting the production efficiency.

[0003] Although the existing CNC lathe tools in the prior art have tried to reduce vibration by optimizing tool materials or adding damping structures, they have not effectively solved the problems of multi-process integrated machining and rapid angle adjustment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rotary tool that can integrate multiple types of cutting functions, reduce the number of tool changes, and have the ability of active shock absorption to meet the requirements of high-efficiency and high-precision machining.

[0006] The positioning rotating shaft of the rotary tool body is coaxially connected with the positioning center hole of the fixed tool body, and the rotary tool body can rotate 180° around its axis, so that the reference scale line a of the rotary tool body coincides with the ending line C of the equally spaced scale of the fixed tool body.

[0007] The center line of the fixed tool body positioning center hole, the center line of the rotating tool body positioning rotation axis, the center line of the mounting slot and the cutting edge height of the turning tool body are coplanar;

[0008] The fastening bolt passes through the fixed cutter body fixed threaded hole of the fixed cutter body to lock the rotating cutter body, ensuring that the rotating cutter body does not move during the processing.

[0011] According to the vibration-absorbing rotary tool for a CNC lathe described above, two fixing threaded holes are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the mounting groove, for fixing different turning tool bodies at multiple angles.

[0012] According to the above-mentioned vibration-absorbing rotary tool for a CNC lathe, the angles between two adjacent scale lines of the four equidistant scale lines of the fixed tool body are both 90°, with an accuracy of <0.1°; the angles between two adjacent scale lines of the four equidistant scale lines of the rotating tool body are both 90°, with an accuracy of <0.1°.

[0013] According to the vibration-absorbing rotary tool for a CNC lathe described above, the tool body is a replaceable module, including a roughing blade, a finishing blade and a threading blade.

[0014] According to the vibration-absorbing rotary tool for a CNC lathe described above, the surface of the fastening bolt is coated with a wear-resistant coating, and the pre-tightening torque is 20-30 N·m.

[0034] The rotary tool body positioning rotary shaft 23 is coaxially connected with the fixed tool body positioning center hole 13, and the rotary tool body 2 can rotate 180° around its axis, so that the scale reference line a of the rotary tool body coincides with the ending line C of the equally spaced scale of the fixed tool body;

[0035] The center line of the fixed tool body positioning center hole 13, the center line of the rotary tool body positioning rotary shaft 23, the center line of the installation groove 24 and the cutting edge height of the tool body are coplanar;

[0036] The fastening bolt 4 passes through the fixed tool body fixing threaded hole 12 of the fixed tool body 1 to lock the rotary tool body 2, ensuring that there is no displacement of the rotary tool body 2 during the machining process.

[0037] The buffer shock-absorbing groove 22 is an arc-shaped groove, symmetrically distributed along the axial direction of the rotary tool body 2, and the depth is 1 / 5 - 1 / 3 of the diameter of the rotary tool body positioning rotary shaft 23.

[0038] A tapered pin hole is provided at the end of the rotary tool body positioning rotary shaft 23 of the rotary tool body 2, which is matched and locked with the screw tail tapered pin provided on the fixed tool body sleeve 1.

[0039] Two fixing threaded holes 25 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the installation groove 24 for fixing different tool bodies at multiple angles.

[0040] The included angle between two adjacent scale lines among the four equally-spaced scale lines 11 of the fixed tool body is 90°, and the accuracy is < 0.1°; the included angle between two adjacent scale lines among the four equally-spaced scale lines 21 of the rotating tool body is 90°, and the accuracy is < 0.1°.

[0045] A coolant channel is provided at the front end of the fixed tool body 1, and the outlet of the coolant channel is aligned with the cutting edge of the tool body.

[0046] Assembly and installation:

[0047] Step 1: Install the fixed tool body 1 onto the tool turret of the CNC lathe through the positioning center hole 13 of the fixed tool body to ensure that its axis is coaxial with the machine spindle.

[0048] Step 2: Insert the rotating tool body positioning rotation axis 23 of the rotating tool body 2 into the fixed tool body positioning center hole 13 of the fixed tool body 1, and rotate the rotating tool body 2 to align the rotating tool body scale reference line a with the starting line A of the equally-spaced scale of the fixed tool body.

[0049] Step 3: Screw the fastening bolt 3 into the fixed tool body fixing threaded hole 12 and lock it with a torque of 25 N·m.

[0050] Tool angle adjustment

If resonance is obvious when machining deep grooves, the angle of the rotating tool body 2 can be finely adjusted to the adjacent scale line of the equal-distance scale line 21 of the rotating tool body to change the natural frequency of the tool. At the same time, open the coolant channel of the fixed tool body 1 to reduce the cutting temperature.

[0056] Example:

[0057] When machining a large worm, first clamp the finishing blade. Rotate the rotating tool body 2 to the 0° scale to complete the cutting of the right-side thread; after completion, loosen the bolt, rotate the rotating tool body 2 by 180°, adjust the Z-axis offset by -0.10 mm and reverse the spindle, and directly machine the left-side thread. There is no need to change the tool throughout the process, the surface roughness reaches Ra1.6 μm, and the machining efficiency is increased by 50%.
