Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of machine tool turntables, in particular to a heavy-load high-precision turntable for machine tools with strong anti-overturning properties. Background Art

[0002] The machine tool turntable is an important accessory of CNC machine tools, used to realize the rotation, indexing and positioning of workpieces, thereby improving processing efficiency and accuracy. It mainly includes general turntables and precision turntables, suitable for boring machines, drilling machines, milling machines, etc.

[0003] Among them, there are precision turntables suitable for heavy loads. Such turntables are usually large in size, difficult to carry, and have a heavy overall weight.

[0004] After searching, the Chinese patent with publication number CN117300657B discloses a CNC turntable for a metal product processing machine tool. The auxiliary rollers provide support for the workpiece, effectively preventing the workpiece from bouncing, and can automatically retract the auxiliary rollers, making it easy to use. However, the following problems still exist:

[0005] 1. When processing heavy workpieces, the weight of the workpiece will be fully applied to the connection between the supporting swing head and the base. When the workpiece position is changed, the center of gravity of the swing head and workpiece combination will change, causing wear on the connection between the swing head and the base, thereby reducing the accuracy of the turntable;

[0006] 2. After the swing head rotates, the fixation of the swing head angle mainly relies on the connecting parts on one side of the swing head. The connecting parts on one side of the swing head need to support the torque of the entire workpiece and the rotation of the swing head, which makes the connecting parts easily damaged, resulting in a short service life of the turntable;

[0007] 3. When the swing head rotates, it uses the cooperation of two bevel gears to make the swing head rotate. The swing head requires torque to drive the rotation. Large torque can easily cause the bevel gears to slip, resulting in the swing head being unable to rotate, thereby affecting the processing of the turntable. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Technical issues solved:

[0009] In response to the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a heavy-load, high-precision turntable for machine tools with strong anti-overturning properties, which is mainly designed to solve the problem that when heavy workpieces are processed, the weight of the workpiece will act completely on the connection between the supporting swing head and the base. When the position of the workpiece is changed, the center of gravity of the combination of the swing head and the workpiece will change, thereby causing wear on the connection between the swing head and the base. After the swing head rotates, the connecting part on one side of the swing head needs to support the torque of the rotation of the entire workpiece and the swing head, which makes the connecting part easily damaged, resulting in a short service life of the turntable.

[0050] Reference Figures 1-11 A heavy-duty, high-precision turntable for machine tools with strong anti-overturning properties comprises a base 1 mounted on the machine tool, a vertical conversion module 2 for changing the Y-axis angle of the workpiece is provided on the top of the base 1, a horizontal conversion module 3 for changing the Z-axis angle of the workpiece is provided inside the vertical conversion module 2, a support frame 6 for supporting the horizontal conversion module 3 is provided on the outside of the horizontal conversion module 3, a support wheel 5 for supporting the support frame 6 is provided on the top of the base 1, and a fixing module 4 for fixing the angle of the support frame 6 is provided on the top of the base 1. When in use, the device is mounted on the machine tool, and a heavy workpiece is placed on the horizontal conversion module 3, and a special fixture is used to fix the workpiece. The vertical conversion module 2 can adjust the processing angles of the X-axis and Y-axis of the workpiece. When the vertical conversion module 2 is adjusting the angle, the support wheel 5 will support the support frame 6, thereby supporting the vertical conversion module 2 and the horizontal conversion module 3, thereby avoiding the connection supporting the entire workpiece and the overall weight of the vertical conversion module 2 and the horizontal conversion module 3, reducing the force on the rotating connection of the vertical conversion module 2, and improving the service life of the vertical conversion module 2. At the same time, the rotation accuracy of the vertical conversion module 2 is improved, and the anti-overturning ability of the turntable is improved. The Z-axis angle conversion of the workpiece is realized through the horizontal conversion module 3, so that the workpiece can be processed in all directions.

[0051] In order to drive the workpiece to rotate along the X-axis or Y-axis, the vertical conversion module 2 of the present invention includes a first box body 201 fixed to the top of the base 1, and the rotation between the inner walls on both sides of the first box body 201 is connected to the second box body 301, and a worm gear 208 is fixed to one side of the second box body 301 by bolts. A mounting plate 206 is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the first box body 201 by bolts, and a servo motor 205 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting plate 206 by bolts. A worm 207 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 206, which is driven by the servo motor 205 to rotate along the axial direction of the servo motor 205 and meshes with the worm gear 208. The engagement between 8 and the worm 207 has a one-way transmission property and has the effect of high-precision power transmission. A power component is provided on the top of the base 1 to drive the support frame 6 to assist in rotation. The servo motor 205 is started, and the servo motor 205 drives the worm 207 to rotate, thereby driving the worm wheel 208 to rotate, and then driving the second box body 301 to rotate. The power component drives the support frame 6 to assist in rotation along the rotation axis of the second box body 301, thereby reducing the torque of the worm wheel 208 to drive the second box body 301 to rotate, thereby improving the protection of the connection between the two ends of the second box body 301, and further improving the service life of the turntable.

[0052] In order to drive the support frame 6 to perform auxiliary rotation, the power assembly of the present invention includes a plurality of fixed plates 215 fixed to the top of the base 1 by bolts, and a connecting shaft 203 is rotatably connected between the fixed plates 215 on both sides through bearings. The middle part of the connecting shaft 203 is keyed to two first gears 210, and the outer wall of the circumference of the support frame 6 is provided with two tooth grooves 204. The outer wall of the top of the first box body 201 is provided with a avoidance groove 209, and the top of the first gear 210 passes through the avoidance groove 209 and meshes with the tooth groove 204. The connecting shaft 203 is rotated, and the connecting shaft 203 drives the first gear 210 to rotate. When the first gear 210 is engaged with the tooth groove 204, the support frame 6 rotates along the rotation axis of the second box body 301, thereby sharing the torque required for the rotation of the second box body 301, and making the second box body 301 rotate more easily. The two parts are driven by one motor, so that the second box body 301 is rotated by the worm gear 208 and the second box body 301 is rotated by the first gear 210, so that the two groups of parts are directly coupled to ensure complete synchronization of the actions without relying on complex control algorithms, eliminating communication or response delay problems during multi-motor coordination, and improving the accuracy of the turntable.

[0053] In order to drive the connecting shaft 203 to rotate, the circumferential outer walls of the second box body 301 at both ends of the present invention are fixed with the first pulley 202 by bolts, and the two ends of the connecting shaft 203 are keyed to the third gear 214. The two fixing plates 215 at the same end are rotatably connected with the installation shaft 213 through a bearing. The circumferential outer wall of the installation shaft 213 is keyed to the second gear 212 meshing with the third gear 214 and the second pulley 211 used in conjunction with the first pulley 202. The first pulley 202 and the second pulley 211 are both synchronous pulleys and adopt synchronous belt transmission. When the second box body 301 rotates, the second box body 301 will drive the first pulley 20 2 rotates, and the second pulley 211 is driven to rotate by the synchronous belt, so that the second pulley 211 and the second gear 212 rotate synchronously, and then the third gear 214 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the connecting shaft 203 to rotate synchronously, wherein the transmission ratio between the tooth groove 204 and the first gear 210 is the same as the transmission ratio between the first pulley 202 and the second pulley 211, and the transmission ratio between the second gear 212 and the third gear 214 is 1, thereby achieving smooth rotation of the second box 301. Only one power is needed to achieve smooth rotation of the second box 301. The structure is simple, and zero-delay transmission of power can be achieved, while reducing the subsequent maintenance cost of the equipment.

[0054] In order to drive the workpiece to rotate along the Z axis, the horizontal conversion module 3 in the present invention includes a mounting frame 310 fixedly connected between the inner walls on both sides of the second box body 301. The top of the mounting frame 310 is fixed with a torque motor 309 by bolts. The model of the torque motor 309 is HTMS03. A avoidance hole 307 is provided on the top of the second box body 301. The top of the torque motor 309 is fixed with a mounting platform 304 by bolts through the avoidance hole 307. A mounting groove 311 is provided at the bottom of the mounting platform 304. A support bearing 306 is clamped in the mounting groove 311, and the support bearing 306 is fixed to the second box body 301. The support bearing 306 can reduce the friction between the mounting platform 304 and the second box body 301. The workpiece is placed on the mounting platform 304 and a rotating fixture is used to rotate the workpiece. The rotation of the workpiece 304 is carried out by the second box body 301, and the arc-shaped bracket 302 is fixed to the top of the bracket 6. When the workpiece on the mounting platform 304 is rotated and tilted by the second box body 301, the arc-shaped bracket 302 will pull the fixing ring 303, thereby increasing the fixing points of the mounting platform 304, and then the arc-shaped bracket 302 can pull the fixing ring 303, thereby sharing the supporting force of the torque motor 309 on the mounting platform 304, thereby improving the service life of the torque motor 309.

[0055] In order to monitor the operation of the mounting platform 304, the monitoring component of the present invention includes a plurality of distance sensors 308 installed on the top of the second box 301, and the plurality of distance sensors 308 are evenly distributed outside the circumference of the avoidance hole 307. The model of the distance sensor 308 is CJVL53L0XV2. The bottom of the mounting platform 304 is fixed with a detection frame 305 used in conjunction with the distance sensor 308 by bolts. The detection plane circular runout of the detection frame 305 is not greater than 0.05mm, and the bottom diameter of the detection frame 305 is larger than the avoidance hole. 307, a plurality of displacement sensors 312 arranged in a cross-orthogonal pattern are fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the second box body 301, and the probes of the displacement sensors 312 are in contact with the circumferential outer wall of the detection frame 305. The roundness tolerance of the contact surface between the detection frame 305 and the probe is not greater than 0.02 mm. The displacement sensor 312 is a POM-HDH8 pencil-shaped LVDT displacement sensor. Therefore, the operation of the mounting table 304 is monitored in real time through the formed hybrid sensing system, thereby ensuring the processing accuracy of the workpiece and improving the processing yield of the turntable.

[0056] In order to assist in fixing the adjusted support frame 6, the fixed module 4 in the present invention includes a support plate 401 fixed to the top of the base 1, and a hydraulic cylinder 402 is fixed to one side of the support plate 401 by bolts. The top of the base 1 is slidably connected to two slides 403, and a connecting rod 405 is welded between the two slides 403. The moving end of the hydraulic cylinder 402 is fixed to one of the slides 403. The tops of the two slides 403 are both fixed with a first friction plate 404 by bolts. A placement groove is opened on the outer wall of the circumference of the support frame 6, and a second friction plate 41 is bonded in the placement groove. 2. A locking mechanism is provided at the top of the connecting rod 405 to assist in fixing the connecting shaft 203. When there is no need to adjust the position of the second box body 301, the hydraulic cylinder 402 is started, and the hydraulic cylinder 402 drives the two slides 403 to move, thereby making the first friction plate 404 contact the second friction plate 412, thereby fixing the angle between the support frame 6 and the second box body 301, thereby changing the force applied to the second box body 301, making it impossible for the second box body 301 to rotate, reducing the torsional force applied to the second box body 301, and further improving the service life of the second box body 301.

[0057] In order to assist in fixing the support frame 6, the locking mechanism of the present invention includes two extrusion frames 406 fixed to the top of the connecting rod 405, and two groups of clamping groups are provided on the top of the base 1. Each clamping group includes two positioning plates 408 fixed to the top of the base 1. Two sliding holes are provided on one side of the positioning plate 408. The two sliding holes are slidably connected with a slide 407. A brake pad 410 is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the slide 407 by bolts. A brake disc 411 used in conjunction with the brake pad 410 is fixed to the middle part of the outer wall of the circumference of the connecting shaft 203 by bolts. A tension spring 409 fixed to the positioning plate 408 is fixed to the inner wall of one side of the two slides 407 by bolts. When the slide 403 moves, the slide 403 will drive the connecting rod 405 to move, thereby driving the extrusion frame 406 to move. The extrusion frame 406 will squeeze the inclined surface on one side of the slide 407, so that the slide 407 moves in the sliding hole, and then the brake pad 410 contacts the brake disc 411, thereby auxiliary fixing the connecting shaft 203, and then locking the power of the second box body 301, so as to further prevent the position of the second box body 301 from changing, thereby improving the fixing effect of the second box body 301, and reducing the loss of the second box body 301. At the same time, it can reduce the pressure between the worm gear 208 and the worm 207, so that the pressure on the second box body 301 is dispersed to the first gear 210, the first friction plate 404, the second friction plate 412 and the connection between the worm gear 208 and the worm 207, thereby protecting the worm gear 208 and the worm 207, avoiding abnormal wear caused by excessive force, and improving the rotation accuracy of the turntable.

[0058] The monitoring process for the turntable rotation and overturning accuracy monitoring component specifically includes the following steps:

[0059] Step 1: Initialize the hybrid sensing system, that is, start the distance sensor 308 and the displacement sensor 312 , and calibrate the reference planes of the distance sensor 308 and the displacement sensor 312 .

[0060] Step 2: Dual-mode cyclic monitoring, that is, when the mounting platform 304 is in operation, the distance sensor 308 is used to measure the distance between the detection frame 305 and the distance sensor 308, and the displacement sensor 312 is used to measure the offset of the detection frame 305, and the data transmitted by the distance sensor 308 and the displacement sensor 312 are processed.

[0061] Step 3: Data processing is divided into three levels of warning, namely primary warning, intermediate warning and emergency stop. The primary warning is triggered by the displacement sensor 312, and the threshold is the offset of 0.02mm. At this time, the processing feed rate is reduced by 50%, and a primary warning signal is issued; the intermediate warning is triggered by the distance sensor 308, and the threshold is the moving distance of 0.03mm. At this time, the processing parameters need to be adjusted, and an intermediate warning is issued; the emergency stop is determined by the displacement sensor 312 and the distance sensor 308, and the threshold is 0.05mm. At this time, the machine stops processing and issues a maintenance signal, waiting for equipment maintenance.

[0062] Step 4: After the equipment maintenance is completed, repeat step 1 and monitor the maintenance results according to step 3 to ensure the equipment is operating at the baseline.

[0063] The present invention is divided into the following steps when used:

[0064] S1: Place the workpiece on the mounting table 304 and fix the workpiece using a rotating fixture;

[0065] S2: When the workpiece needs to be rotated along the X or Y axis, the servo motor 205 is started, and the servo motor 205 drives the worm 207 to rotate, thereby driving the worm gear 208 to rotate, and then driving the second box 301 to rotate, thereby driving the mounting platform 304 to rotate together with the workpiece;

[0066] S3: When the second box body 301 rotates, the second box body 301 drives the first pulley 202 to rotate, and drives the second pulley 211 to rotate through the synchronous belt, so that the second pulley 211 and the second gear 212 rotate synchronously, and then drives the third gear 214 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting shaft 203 to rotate synchronously;

[0067] S4: The rotation of the connecting shaft 203 drives the first gear 210 to rotate. When the first gear 210 is engaged with the tooth groove 204, the support frame 6 rotates along the rotation axis of the second box body 301, thereby sharing the torque required for the rotation of the second box body 301;

[0068] S5: At the same time, the support wheel 5 supports the support frame 6, thereby supporting the rotating second box 301, thereby reducing the gravity at the connection between the second box 301 and the first box 201, so that both sides of the second box 301 are not easily worn;

[0069] S6: When the workpiece needs to be rotated about the Z axis, the torque motor 309 is started. The torque motor 309 can drive the mounting table 304 to rotate, thereby driving the workpiece to rotate about the Z axis.

[0070] S7: When the second box 301 rotates, the workpiece on the mounting platform 304 is driven by the second box 301 to rotate and tilt, and the arc-shaped clamping frame 302 pulls the fixing ring 303, thereby increasing the fixing points of the mounting platform 304. In turn, the arc-shaped clamping frame 302 can pull the fixing ring 303, thereby sharing the supporting force of the torque motor 309 on the mounting platform 304, thereby improving the service life of the torque motor 309;

[0071] S8: When the angle of the second box body 301 needs to be fixed, the hydraulic cylinder 402 is activated, and the hydraulic cylinder 402 drives the two slides 403 to move, thereby making the first friction plate 404 contact the second friction plate 412, thereby fixing the angle between the support frame 6 and the second box body 301, thereby changing the force applied to the second box body 301, making it unable to rotate, and reducing the torque applied to the second box body 301;

[0072] S9: At the same time, the slide 403 will drive the connecting rod 405 to move, thereby driving the extrusion frame 406 to move. The extrusion frame 406 will squeeze the inclined surface on one side of the slide 407, so that the slide 407 moves in the slide hole, and then the brake pad 410 contacts the brake disc 411, thereby assisting in fixing the connecting shaft 203, and then locking the power of the second box body 301, further preventing the position of the second box body 301 from changing.

[0073] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
