[0037] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 A truss-type feeding structure includes a support 1 and a three-axis conveying unit 101 arranged on the support 1. The three-axis conveying unit 101 is provided with a five-axis clamping unit for grasping the workpiece.

[0040] It should be noted that the three-axis conveying unit 101 and the five-axis clamping unit are both loading and unloading structures commonly used on CNC machine tools, and are both existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0041] The five-axis clamping unit includes two mounting blocks 2 mounted on the three-axis conveying unit 101. The mounting blocks 2 are provided with four pneumatic clamping seats 21 arranged equidistantly in a circular shape. The pneumatic clamping seats 21 are driven by an air source to move synchronously toward each other. The pneumatic clamping seats 21 are provided with a separate pressure plate 22. The bottom of the pneumatic clamping seat 21 is provided with a docking groove 23 that passes through the side. A clamping jaw 24 is inserted into the docking groove 23. One side of the pneumatic clamping seat 21 is provided with a clamping jaw 24 that passes through the clamping jaw 24 and extends To the threaded groove 25 on the other side of the clamping jaw 24, a locking stud 26 is rotatably connected to the separate pressure plate 22, and a translation guide groove 27 is opened on the side of the pneumatic clamping seat 21 close to the separate pressure plate 22. The inner side surface of the translation guide groove 27 is slidably connected with a support guide plate 28, and the support guide plate 28 is fixedly connected to the separate pressure plate 22. When the locking stud 26 rotates to move toward the outside of the threaded groove 25, the separate pressure plate 22 moves in the direction away from the pneumatic clamping seat 21 under the support and guidance of the support guide plate 28.

[0042] A driving unit is provided on the outside of the mounting block 2, and the driving unit is used to drive the locking stud 26 to rotate and release the position restriction of the clamping claw 24;

[0043] A clamping platform 4 is mounted on the support 1 . The clamping platform 4 is provided with a plurality of built-in grooves 41 for accommodating the clamping jaws 24 .

[0044] It should be added that the clamping jaw 24 includes a connecting portion 241 and a clamping portion 242. The shape and size specifications of the connecting portion 241 are compatible with the docking groove 23, and the threaded groove 25 is opened on the connecting portion 241. The clamping portion 242 on the clamping jaw 24 located in the built-in groove 41 is embedded in the built-in groove 41, and the connecting portion 241 is located outside the built-in groove 41.

[0045] In this embodiment, the drive unit includes a mounting base 3 provided on the mounting block 2, an extension plate 31 is provided at the bottom of the mounting base 3, the mounting base 3 and the extension plate 31 have the same mounting cavity, the inner side surface of the mounting cavity on the mounting base 3 is rotatably connected to an internal threaded sleeve 32, the inner side surface of the mounting cavity on the extension plate 31 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 33, a small pulley 34 is provided on the outside of the rotating shaft 33, a large pulley 35 is provided on the outside of the internal threaded sleeve 32, a transmission belt 36 is provided between the small pulley 34 and the large pulley 35, and the head of the locking stud 26 is provided with a hexagonal groove 37. A hexagonal column 38 is provided on the outside of the rotating shaft 33. The size and specifications of the hexagonal column 38 are compatible with the hexagonal groove 37. When the pneumatic clamping seat 21 moves outward synchronously to the end of the stroke, the hexagonal column 38 is inserted into the hexagonal groove 37. The outside of the internal threaded sleeve 32 is fixedly connected to the gear 39. The top of the mounting seat 3 is provided with a vertical groove running through its bottom. The inner side surface of the vertical groove is slidably connected to the rack 310. A driving cylinder 311 is installed on the side of the mounting seat 3. The bottom of the telescopic end of the driving cylinder 311 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rack 310, and the rack 310 is engaged with the gear 39.

[0046] refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 6 In order to ensure that the hexagonal column 38 can drive the locking stud 26 to smoothly withdraw from the thread groove 25 when it rotates, the outside of the mounting block 2 is rotatably connected to the synchronous screw 5, the inside of the mounting seat 3 is provided with a circular groove adapted to the synchronous screw 5, the internal threaded sleeve 32 is threadedly connected to the synchronous screw 5, and support plates 51 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the mounting block 2, and support grooves 52 adapted to the support plates 51 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the surface of the mounting seat 3, and the support plates 51 are slidably connected to the inner side surfaces of the support grooves 52.

[0047] It should be noted that the speed at which the internal threaded sleeve 32 rotates to drive the mounting seat 3 to move horizontally is consistent with the speed at which the locking stud 26 rotates to drive the separate pressure plate 22 to move horizontally, so that when the locking stud 26 drives the separate pressure plate 22 to move, the mounting seat 3 can move synchronously, thereby ensuring the stability of the transmission between the large pulley 35 and the small pulley 34.

[0048] In this embodiment, the shapes of the connection portions 241 on the clamping jaws 24 placed in the multiple sets of built-in grooves 41 are all different.

[0049] It should be noted that by setting up multiple groups of jaws 24 with different shapes of connecting parts 241, the needs of workpiece clamping can be met by automatically switching the jaws 24 when clamping workpieces of different shapes, and manual replacement is no longer required, making the feeding structure of CNC machine tools more applicable.

[0050] During operation, when it is necessary to switch the corresponding clamping jaws 24 to clamp workpieces of different shapes, the position of the mounting block 2 is adjusted by the three-axis conveying unit 101 so that it moves to the designated built-in groove 41 on the clamping jaw platform 4, and the clamping jaws 24 on the mounting block 2 are kept open to the limit position and inserted into the designated built-in groove 41, so that the clamping portion 242 on the clamping jaw 24 is embedded in the built-in groove 41, and the connecting portion 241 is in an external state;

[0051] When the clamping jaw 24 is kept open to the extreme position, the hexagonal column 38 on the same side is inserted into the hexagonal groove 37 at the clamping jaw 24. At this time, the rack 310 is driven downward by driving the cylinder 311, so that the gear 39 rotates and drives the internal threaded sleeve 32 to rotate. Under the coordinated transmission of the large pulley 35, the small pulley 34 and the transmission belt 36, the rotation of the internal threaded sleeve 32 can drive the rotating shaft 33 to rotate, so that the hexagonal column 38 rotates and drives the locking stud 26 to rotate. Under the cooperation of the threaded groove 25, the locking stud 26 rotates, driving the separation type pressure plate 22 to separate from the pneumatic clamping seat 21, and also makes the locking stud 26 and the clamping jaw separate. 24 is separated from the threaded groove 25 on the pneumatic clamping seat 21. At this time, the movement of the clamping jaw 24 is no longer restricted. The position of the mounting block 2 is adjusted by the three-axis conveying unit 101 to separate it from the clamping jaw 24 and move it to another clamping jaw 24 to be installed, and the connecting portion 241 on the clamping jaw 24 is inserted into the docking groove 23 on the pneumatic clamping seat 21. After that, the rack 310 is driven to move in the opposite direction by the driving cylinder 311, thereby driving the locking stud 26 to rotate in the opposite direction and move toward the inside of the threaded groove 25, so that the separate pressure plate 22 moves to abut against the pneumatic clamping seat 21 again, completing the automatic replacement of the clamping jaw 24.

[0052] Example 2:

[0053] This embodiment provides a lifting and feeding method for a CNC machine tool based on the above embodiment, which adopts a truss feeding structure as described above, and includes the following steps:

[0054] S1. The position of the clamping claw 24 is adjusted by the three-axis conveying unit 101 to move it to a designated position on the clamping claw platform 4, and the clamping claw 24 is inserted into the built-in groove 41 at the designated position on the clamping claw platform 4;

[0055] S2. The locking stud 26 is driven to rotate by the driving unit, so that the separate pressure plate 22 is separated from the pneumatic clamping seat 21, and the locking stud 26 is separated from the thread groove 25 on the clamping jaw 24;

[0056] S3, using the three-axis conveying unit 101 to move the vacant pneumatic clamping seat 21 to the position of the clamping jaw 24 to be replaced, and insert the connecting portion 241 on the clamping jaw 24 into the docking groove 23;

[0057] S4. The drive unit drives the separate pressing plate 22 to move and abut against the surface of the pneumatic clamping seat 21, and at the same time, the locking stud 26 is connected to the pneumatic clamping seat 21 and the threaded groove 25 on the connecting portion 241;
