Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of numerically controlled lathes, and more specifically, to a double-spindle numerically controlled lathe. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of the manufacturing industry, the requirements for the precision, efficiency, and complexity of component processing are increasing day by day. When facing the processing of some complex parts or mass production, traditional single-spindle numerically controlled lathes gradually expose problems such as limited production efficiency and the influence of the number of clamping operations on machining accuracy. For example, in the processing of complex components such as automotive engine blocks and aeroengine impellers, multi-process and multi-surface machining are required.
[0003] Generally, a numerically controlled lathe is only equipped with one spindle assembly. After clamping the part to be machined on the spindle assembly, the tool in the turret performs turning machining on the part. According to actual usage requirements, both ends of some shaft parts need to be processed. When using the existing numerically controlled lathe for machining, after one end of the part is processed, the part needs to be removed from the spindle assembly first, and then the other end of the part is clamped, and the tool performs turning machining on the other end of the part, with a complex structure. Using this machining method, the part needs to be clamped multiple times, resulting in low precision of the machined part.
[0004] In view of this, we propose a double-spindle numerically controlled lathe. Summary of the Invention

A slide plate III is jointly connected to the tops of the two slide blocks III. A support III is arranged at the top of the slide plate III, and a fixture is supported at the top of the support III.
[0011] The structure of the present invention is simple and reasonably designed. It can also quickly process both ends of the part without multiple clamping, and has high machining accuracy.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the first support block is inclined and forms an angle with the horizontal plane, and the angle value of this angle is between 40° and 45°. The top of the second support block is inclined and forms an angle with the horizontal plane, and the angle value of this angle is between 40° and 45°. A discharge groove is opened on the upper end surface of the workbench, and a discharge hopper communicating with the inner bottom end of the discharge groove is inclined on the side of the workbench.
[0013] Preferably, the diameter value of the rotating shaft is greater than the diameter value of the output end of the first rotating motor, and a support I is arranged at the bottom end of the rotating shaft. The bottom end of the support I is inclined and fixed to the top of the first support block.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0021] 1. The present invention designs a support mechanism, a first main shaft mechanism, a drive mechanism, a milling mechanism, and a second main shaft mechanism. The structure is simple and reasonably designed. The first main shaft mechanism and the second main shaft mechanism are provided, which can process two workpieces simultaneously, equivalent to two single-spindle lathes working simultaneously. More processing tasks can be completed within the same time, significantly shortening the processing cycle. For example, when mass-producing small parts, a double-spindle CNC lathe can clamp two blank parts simultaneously and perform operations such as turning, drilling, and tapping at the same time. The production efficiency is nearly doubled compared to a single-spindle CNC lathe. When one spindle is performing processing, auxiliary operations such as workpiece loading and unloading and tool replacement can be carried out using the other spindle, thereby reducing the machine tool's downtime and improving the equipment utilization rate.
[0022] 2. The present invention also designs the first main shaft mechanism and the second main shaft mechanism. For some complex parts that require multi-sided processing, a single-spindle lathe may need to be clamped multiple times to complete all processes, and each clamping will introduce a certain clamping error. A double-spindle CNC lathe can complete more processing content in one clamping through the coordinated work between the two main shafts, reducing the number of clampings, thereby reducing the impact of clamping errors on machining accuracy. The CNC system of the double-spindle CNC lathe can precisely control and real-time monitor the movements of the two main shafts, and realize the error compensation function through software algorithms. For example, when it is found that the machining accuracy of one main shaft deviates, the machining parameters of the other main shaft can be adjusted for compensation to ensure the machining accuracy consistency of the two workpieces.
