Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of machining lathes, in particular to a camshaft machining lathe and a camshaft machining process. Background Art

[0002] The camshaft is one of the core components of the engine. Its core function is to control the opening and closing timing and lift of the valves through rotational motion, ensuring that valve movement is synchronized with piston movement during the engine's four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. During the camshaft production process, the long shaft is radially turned on a lathe to form the camshaft.

[0003] Chinese patent CN201997713U discloses a lathe with an auxiliary bracket for machining camshafts. The lathe provides a self-centering auxiliary bracket for camshaft turning. During machining, the auxiliary bracket is placed on a lathe guide rail, moved along the lathe guide rail, selected and placed in an appropriate position, and the bracket seat is locked. The workpiece is placed on the lathe, the self-centering center frame is closed, and then the camshaft is machined. This can effectively reduce the stress deformation during camshaft machining and meet the external conditions required for machining accuracy. However, in the prior art, when replacing the position of the self-centering center frame, it is necessary to remove the centering center frame from one side of the auxiliary bracket by removing the bolts, and then install the self-centering center frame on the other side of the auxiliary bracket by bolts. When machining camshafts in large quantities, this step will be very cumbersome, not only increasing the workload of workers, but also reducing the production efficiency of the camshafts. In addition, strip-shaped chips will be generated during turning, and some of the strip-shaped chips will hang on the lathe guide rails, requiring workers to manually clean them from time to time, causing inconvenience to the workers' turning work.

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Embodiment 1;

[0029] See also Figures 1-8 A camshaft processing lathe and a camshaft processing process, comprising a machine tool 1 and a guide rail 11 mounted on the machine tool 1, the machine tool 1 is provided with a feed mechanism 2, a positioning assembly 3, a drive assembly 5 and a cleaning assembly 6, the upper side of the feed mechanism 2 is equipped with a turning tool 21, the lower side of the feed mechanism 2 is mounted on the upper end of the guide rail 11, the feed mechanism 2 can drive the turning tool 21 to move on the guide rail 11, and the camshaft on the turning machine tool, the positioning assembly 3 comprises a bearing plate 31, a support plate 33 and a movable ring 35, the bearing plate 31 is mounted on the guide rail 11, located below the feed mechanism 2, the bearing plate 31 is connected to the lower end of the support plate 33, the upper end of the support plate 33 is provided with a fixed ring 34, and the movable ring 35 is installed In the fixed ring 34, a number of positioning clamps 37 are evenly distributed on the movable ring 35. The positioning clamps 37 are used to clamp the camshaft to be processed, and when the camshaft is turned, the movable ring 35 can rotate in the fixed ring 34 driven by the camshaft. The driving assembly 5 is installed on the carrier plate 31, and is used to drive the carrier plate 31 to perform linear motion on the guide rail 11. The cleaning assembly 6 includes a connecting rod 61 and a clapper 62. The clapper 62 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 61, and the other end of the connecting rod 61 is inserted into the carrier plate 31 from the end of the carrier plate 31, and the connecting rod 61 cooperates with the driving assembly 5. When the driving assembly 5 drives the carrier plate 31 to move, it can drive the connecting rod 61 to drive the clapper 62 to rotate.

[0030] Among them, when in use, first place the long shaft on the machine tool 1, wherein, initially, the feed mechanism 2 and the positioning assembly 3 are parked at one end of the machine tool 1 in sequence, and when the long shaft passes through the fixed ring 34 and the movable rod of the positioning assembly 3, its two ends are respectively connected to the two ends of the machine tool 1. After the long shaft is placed, the driving assembly 5 drives the carrier plate 31 to move a distance toward the other end of the machine tool 1 on the guide rail 11, so that the carrier plate 31 stops at a suitable position, and then drives the positioning clamp 37 on the movable ring 35 to clamp the long shaft, so that the positioning assembly 3 supports the first small section of the long shaft to be turned through the movable ring 35, preventing the first small section of the long shaft to be turned from being deformed during the process of being processed into the camshaft, thereby improving the accuracy of the camshaft. In this process, as the carrier plate 31 is driven, the positioning clamp 37 on the movable ring 35 is driven to clamp the long shaft, so that the positioning assembly 3 supports the first small section of the long shaft to be turned through the movable ring 35, preventing the first small section of the long shaft to be turned from being deformed during the process of being processed into the camshaft, thereby improving the accuracy of the camshaft. As the plate 31 moves, the driving assembly 5 also drives the connecting rod 61 of the cleaning assembly 6 to rotate, so that the clappers 62 on the two connecting rods 61 at the end of the carrying plate 31 in the direction of movement respectively rotate toward the two guide rails 11. The clappers 62 are made of flexible materials such as rubber. When the clappers 62 turn to the guide rail 11, the clappers 62 will clasp on the side wall of the upper end of the guide rail 11 and bend, so that the clappers 62 fit on the side wall of the guide rail 11. As the connecting rod 61 continues to rotate, the clappers 62 stick to the side wall of the guide rail 11 and slide downward, and finally separate from the side wall of the guide rail 11 and restore the deformation, while the two connecting rods 61 at the other end of the carrying plate 31 rotate in the opposite direction with the clappers 62. Then the machine tool 1 rotates the camshaft to be processed, and the feed mechanism 2 uses the turning tool 21 to move the front of the long axis. The small section is turned, and some strip-shaped chips will be hung on the guide rail 11 during the turning process. At the same time, the camshaft to be processed drives the movable ring 35 to rotate on the fixed ring 34 under the fixation of the positioning clamp 37. When the turning of the previous small section of the long shaft is completed, the turning tool 21 stops turning, and the machine tool 1 stops rotating the long shaft. Then, the positioning clamp 37 is released to fix the long shaft, and the driving component 5 drives the carrier plate 31 to continue to move a suitable distance to the other end of the machine tool 1. After the next small section of the long shaft to be cut is exposed, the positioning clamp 37 re-clamps the camshaft. At this time, the machine tool 1 rotates the camshaft again, and the feed mechanism 2 turns the next small section of the long shaft through the turning tool 21. The above steps are repeated, and the long shaft is cut into a cam through the positioning component 3 during the cutting process. The shaft is divided into several small sections, and the turning tool 21 is controlled by the feed mechanism 2 to turn these small sections in turn. After the camshaft is turned out, the positioning clamp 37 is released to fix the camshaft, and the long shaft processed into the camshaft is removed from the machine tool 1. At this time, the support plate 33 is rotated outward from the machine tool 1, so that the support plate 33 lying on the guide rail 11 becomes parallel to the outer side of the guide rail 11, and the carrier plate 31 is driven back by the drive assembly 5 to move toward the initial position, so that the two connecting rods 61 at the end of the movement direction of the carrier plate 31 drive the clapper 62 to rotate. When the clapper 62 hits the side wall of the guide rail 11, the strip-shaped chips hanging on the guide rail 11 are removed, thereby keeping the upper end of the guide rail 11 clean. After the carrier plate 31 moves to the end of the guide rail 11, it stops moving.The feed mechanism 2 is then reset. When it moves above the carrier plate 31, it returns to its starting point. The drive assembly 5 then drives the carrier plate 31 toward the other end of the machine tool 1. After the carrier plate 31 is removed from the bottom of the feed mechanism 2, the support plate 33 is rotated back and placed horizontally on the guide rail 11 again. The next long shaft is then placed on the machine tool and the above steps are repeated for turning. As the carrier plate 31 moves toward the other end of the machine tool 1, the connecting rod 61 at its moving end drives the clapper plate 62 to rotate, cleaning up the strip chips missed during the last cleaning.

[0031] The difference from the above embodiment is that two guide rails 11 are symmetrically distributed on the machine tool 1, and the two ends of the two guide rails 11 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the machine tool 1 respectively.

A driving rack 112 is fixedly installed on the guide rail 11 away from the feed mechanism 2, and the driving rack 112 is located at the top of the sliding groove 111.

[0032] The difference from the above embodiment is that the two sides of the supporting plate 31 are respectively slidably installed in a sliding groove 111 and extend out of the sliding groove 111. A connecting column 311 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the supporting plate 31 close to the feed mechanism 2. The connecting column 311 is higher than the guide rail 11. A drive box 32 is fixedly installed on the supporting plate 31. The drive box 32 is located between the two guide rails 11. There is a gap between the top of the drive box 32 and the top of the guide rail 11.

[0033] Among them, the connecting column 311 is higher than the guide rail 11, so that there is a gap between the bottom of the support plate 33 and the top of the guide rail 11, so that the support plate 33 can rotate above the guide rail 11 without touching the guide rail 11, and there is a gap between the top of the drive box 32 and the top of the guide rail 11, so that the supporting plate 31 can move at the bottom of the feed mechanism 2.

[0034] The difference from the above embodiment is that the bottom of one side of the support plate 33 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 331, the lower end of the rotating shaft 331 is rotatably connected to the end of the supporting plate 31 away from the connecting column 311, the support plate 33 passes over the top of the guide rail 11, the bottom of the other side of the support plate 33 corresponds to the top of the connecting column 311, the other side of the support plate 33 is connected to the connecting column 311 by a fixing bolt 4, and the two sides of the upper end of the support plate 33 are fixedly connected to a fixing ring 34, and there is a gap between the two fixing rings 34 , and the two fixed rings 34 are provided with annular rotation grooves 341 on the side surfaces facing the support plate 33, and the outer side of the movable ring 35 is fixedly connected to a plurality of sliding blocks 351, and the two ends of the sliding block 351 are respectively slidably installed in a rotation groove 341, and the movable ring 35 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 352 evenly distributed in a circumference. The limiting grooves 352 run through the inner and outer sides of the movable ring 35, and a mounting sleeve 36 is provided above each limiting groove 352, and the lower end of the mounting sleeve 36 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the movable ring 35.

[0035] When the cam 33 is in the unlocking state, the locking cam 33 is locked and the locking cam 33 is in the unlocking state, so that the cam 33 can be locked.

[0036] The difference from the above embodiment is that the positioning clamp 37 is arc-shaped, and a locking rod 38 is fixedly connected to the side of the positioning clamp 37 facing the mounting sleeve 36. The two sides of the locking rod 38 are fixedly connected to the limiting blocks 381. The upper end of the locking rod 38 passes through the limiting groove 352 and extends into the mounting sleeve 36, and the limiting block 381 fits into the limiting groove 352, so that the locking rod 38 cannot rotate. The upper end of the locking rod 38 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the locking bolt 39, and the locking bolt 39 is threadedly transferred to the mounting sleeve 36, and the upper end of the locking bolt 39 extends from the mounting sleeve 36.

[0037] Among them, when it is necessary to clamp the long axis, the locking bolt 39 is rotated in the reverse direction, and the locking spiral moves toward the bottom of the mounting sleeve 36 with the cooperation of the thread, thereby pushing the positioning clip 37 on the locking rod 38 to contact the long axis. Through the cooperation of several positioning clips 37, the long axis is clamped, so that the support assembly can support the long axis. When it is necessary to release the clamping of the positioning clip 37 on the long axis, the locking bolt 39 is rotated forward, and the locking spiral moves toward the upper end of the mounting sleeve 36 with the cooperation of the thread, thereby pulling the positioning clip 37 on the locking rod 38 away from the long axis and releasing the long axis. Among them, through the cooperation of the limit groove 352 and the limit block 381, the locking rod 38 cannot rotate and can only move linearly along the mounting sleeve 36.

[0038] The difference from the above embodiment is that the driving assembly 5 includes a driving rod 51 and a transmission rod 55, the driving rod 51 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the driving box 32, and the end of the driving rod 51 away from the feeding mechanism 2 passes through the carrying plate 31 and extends outward, and the driving rod 51 is coaxially fixedly connected with a handwheel 52, a driving gear 53 and a worm 54 in sequence, the handwheel 52 is located on the protruding end of the driving rod 51, the driving gear 53 is located outside the driving box 32, the driving gear 53 is meshed with the driving rack 112, and the worm 54 is located inside the driving box 32, and the two transmission rods 55 are rotatably mounted in the driving box 32, located above the driving rod 51, and the two transmission rods 55 are coaxially fixedly connected with a transmission gear 56, and the two transmission gears 56 are meshed with each other, wherein the transmission rod 55 close to the driving gear 53 is also coaxially fixedly connected with a worm gear 57, and the worm gear 57 is meshed with the worm 54.

[0039] When the carrier plate 31 needs to be driven to move from the starting end to the other end of the machine tool 1, the handwheel 52 is rotated forward so that the driving rod 51 drives the driving gear 53 and the worm 54 to rotate in the same direction. The driving gear 53 drives the carrier plate 31 to move in the sliding groove 111 through the cooperation of the driving rack 112, and the worm 54 drives the worm wheel 57 and the transmission rod 55 on the worm wheel 57 to rotate clockwise. The transmission rod 55 drives the other transmission rod 55 to rotate counterclockwise through the cooperation between the two transmission gears 56. When the carrier plate 31 needs to return, the handwheel 52 is rotated backward so that the driving rod 51 drives the driving gear 53 and the worm 54 to rotate in the same direction. The driving gear 53 drives the carrier plate 31 to move in the sliding groove 111 through the cooperation of the driving rack 112, and the worm 54 drives the worm wheel 57 and the transmission rod 55 on the worm wheel 57 to rotate counterclockwise.

The upper end of the mounting seat 13 is equipped with a tail tip 131. The chuck 12 and the tail tip 131 correspond to each other and are respectively used to fix the two ends of the camshaft to be processed.

[0046] When placing the long shaft, the processing section of the long shaft used to cut into the camshaft is facing the chuck 12. After the long shaft passes through the positioning assembly 3, one end of the long shaft is fixed by the chuck 12, and the other end is abutted against the tail tip 131. When cutting starts, the machine tool 1 drives the long shaft to rotate through the chuck 12, so that the feed mechanism 2 controls the turning tool 21 for turning, wherein the end of the guide rail 11 close to the chuck 12 is the starting end.

[0047] The present invention also provides a camshaft processing process, which uses a camshaft processing lathe.

[0048] Working principle: When in use, first place the long shaft on the machine tool 1, wherein, initially, the feed mechanism 2 and the positioning assembly 3 are parked at one end of the machine tool 1 in sequence, and when the long shaft is placed through the fixed ring 34 and the movable rod of the positioning assembly 3, its two ends are respectively connected to the two ends of the machine tool 1. After the long shaft is placed, the driving assembly 5 drives the carrier plate 31 to move a distance toward the other end of the machine tool 1 on the guide rail 11, so that the carrier plate 31 stops at a suitable position, and then drives the positioning clamp 37 on the movable ring 35 to clamp the long shaft, so that the positioning assembly 3 supports the front small section of the long shaft to be turned through the movable ring 35, preventing the front small section of the long shaft to be turned from being deformed during the process of being processed into a camshaft, thereby improving the accuracy of the camshaft. In this process, as the carrier plate 31 moves, the driving assembly 5 also drives the connecting rod 61 of the cleaning assembly 6 to rotate, so that the two connecting rods 61 at the moving direction end of the carrier plate 31 The clapper 62 rotates toward the two guide rails 11 respectively. The clapper 62 is made of a flexible material such as rubber. When the clapper 62 turns to the guide rail 11, the clapper 62 hits the side wall of the upper end of the guide rail 11 and bends, so that the clapper 62 fits on the side wall of the guide rail 11. As the connecting rod 61 continues to rotate, the clapper 62 sticks to the side wall of the guide rail 11 and slides downward, and finally separates from the side wall of the guide rail 11 and recovers its deformation. The two ends of the carrier plate 31 are The connecting rod 61 rotates in the opposite direction with the clapper 62, and then the machine tool 1 rotates the camshaft to be processed, and the feed mechanism 2 uses the turning tool 21 to turn the front small section of the long shaft. During the turning process, some strip-shaped chips will be hung on the guide rail 11. At the same time, the camshaft to be processed drives the movable ring 35 to rotate on the fixed ring 34 under the fixation of the positioning clamp 37. When the front small section of the long shaft is turned, the turning tool 21 stops turning, and the machine tool 1 stops rotating the long shaft.

[0049] Then, the fixing of the long shaft by the positioning clamp 37 is released, and the carrying plate 31 is driven to move a suitable distance to the other end of the machine tool 1 by the driving component 5. After the next small section of the long shaft to be cut is exposed, the positioning clamp 37 re-clamps the camshaft. At this time, the machine tool 1 rotates the camshaft again, and the feed mechanism 2 turns the next small section of the long shaft through the turning tool 21. The above steps are repeated. During the cutting process, the long shaft is cut into several small sections by the positioning component 3, and then the turning tool 21 is controlled by the feed mechanism 2 to turn the long shaft into several small sections. These small sections are turned until the camshaft is turned out, and then the fixing of the camshaft by the positioning clamp 37 is released, and the long shaft processed into the camshaft is removed from the machine tool 1. At this time, the support plate 33 is rotated outward from the machine tool 1, so that the support plate 33 lying on the guide rail 11 becomes parallel to the outer side of the guide rail 11, and the carrier plate 31 is driven back by the driving assembly 5 to move toward the initial position, so that the two connecting rods 61 at the end of the movement direction of the carrier plate 31 drive the clapper 62 to rotate. When the clapper 62 hits the side wall of the guide rail 11, it will hang on the guide rail. The strip chips on the guide rail 11 are scraped off, so that the upper end of the guide rail 11 is kept clean. After the carrier plate 31 moves to the end of the guide rail 11, it stops moving and the feed mechanism 2 is reset. When the feed mechanism 2 moves to the top of the carrier plate 31, the feed mechanism 2 returns to the starting end, and then the carrier plate 31 is driven to move to the other end of the machine tool 1 through the drive assembly 5. When the carrier plate 31 moves out from the bottom of the feed mechanism 2, the support plate 33 is turned back and placed horizontally on the guide rail 11 again. At this time, the next long axis is placed on the machine tool and reset. Repeat the above steps to perform turning. In the process of the carrier plate 31 moving toward the other end of the machine tool 1, the connecting rod 61 at its moving direction end drives the clapper 62 to rotate, and the strip chips missed during the last cleaning are cleaned up. The chips turned by the turning tool 21 will fall into the collection trough 7, and the strip chips pulled off by the clapper 62 will also fall into the collection trough 7. The inclined surface in the collection trough 7 makes these chips concentrate toward the side door 71. When the chips in the side door 71 need to be cleaned, the side door 71 can be opened to clear the chips in the collection trough 7.
