Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of milling machines, and in particular relates to an excavator track shoe vertical milling machine tool and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Excavator track shoes are the core chassis components of construction machinery and an important part of the excavator's crawler walking device. Their main function is to provide buoyancy and traction for the equipment, protect the crawler link assembly, and ultimately ensure that the excavator can stably walk and operate in muddy, rugged and other complex terrains. To meet actual usage needs, track shoe manufacturing needs to be processed into flat surfaces, specific angle bevels or grooves - such processing requirements can not only ensure the assembly accuracy of track shoes and chain track links and other components, but also improve the contact stability between the track shoes and the ground when the equipment is operating. To meet this demand, the vertical milling process can accurately complete the above-mentioned plane and bevel processing by matching different types of milling cutters, which is fully adapted to the manufacturing requirements of track shoes.

[0003] When the existing excavator track plate end milling machine is in operation, it usually uses a vertical working spindle for operation, and the milling cutter is installed on the spindle; when the milling cutter is fed and reset to the initial position, the position is always fixed, resulting in the inability to adjust the distance between the milling cutter and the workpiece; this problem makes it easy to cause two types of risks when the machine tool processes workpieces of different thicknesses, if the original programming program is used to control the feed movement: one is that the milling cutter does not descend enough and cannot contact the workpiece, resulting in missed cutting and incomplete processing; the other is that the descent is too large, exceeding the actual thickness of the workpiece, causing the workpiece and the milling cutter to be easily damaged (i.e. "cutting"), even if there is no cutting collision, it will cause the workpiece to be overcut and the size to be scrapped, and ultimately reduce the processing accuracy; if the original programming program is not used, the staff will need to frequently modify the code according to the thickness of the workpiece to control the real-time stop position of the milling cutter - this will not only increase the probability of operating errors and machine operation risks, but also significantly reduce the production efficiency of the equipment, resulting in strong limitations in its actual application.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Example, by Figures 1 to 10The present invention includes a base, a multi-axis machine tool 1, and a track shoe; the multi-axis machine tool 1 is installed on the top of the base; the track shoe is clamped on the top of the base; a shaft body 2 that can move toward or away from the base is installed on the multi-axis machine tool 1; a positioning milling unit is provided on the shaft body 2, which is used to mill the track shoe to form a flat surface, a specific angle bevel and a groove; the positioning milling unit includes: a positioning round block 3, connected at the end point of the shaft body 2; a U-shaped square seat 4, installed at the bottom of the positioning round block 3, and the opening faces the side wall of the multi-axis machine tool 1; a positioning cylinder 5 is fixedly connected in the U-shaped square seat 4; a positioning block 6 is connected to the positioning cylinder 5 through and the two are slidably matched; a circular base 7 is installed on the positioning block 6; a self-centering fixture 8 is rotatably connected to the side of the circular base 7 close to the base; a milling cutter is clamped on the self-centering fixture 8; a limiting block 19; two The limiting blocks 19 are installed on both sides of the positioning circular block 3; the limiting cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting block 19; the second base 21 is installed on the multi-axis machine tool 1; the second base 21 is connected to the limiting cylinder 20, and the two are slidably matched; when the shaft body 2 drives the positioning circular block 3 to approach / move away from the track shoe, the positioning circular block 3 is limited and moved at the second base 21 by the limiting cylinder 20 on the limiting block 19; the limiting spring 22 is sleeved on the limiting cylinder 20; one end of the limiting spring 22 is fixedly connected to the second base 21, and the other end is connected to the limiting circular plate 23; the limiting circular plate 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting cylinder 20 away from the limiting block 19; the liquid collection cylinder 24 is installed on the side of the circular base 7 away from the base; a nozzle 25 is installed on the liquid collection cylinder 24; the output end of the nozzle 25 is facing the end of the milling cutter away from the self-centering fixture 8; When the multi-axis machine tool 1 is in use, the track shoe to be processed is fixed on the base, and the milling cutter is installed on the self-centering fixture 8. Then, by controlling the shaft body 2, the positioning block 3 on the end point is moved close to the base, and the self-centering fixture 8 is installed on the circular base 7. It is installed on the positioning block 3 through the positioning block 6, the positioning cylinder 5 and the U-shaped square seat 4, which can drive the milling cutter to move down and move close to the track shoe. The track shoe can be processed by the high-speed rotating milling cutter contacting the track shoe, and the multi-axis machine tool 1 can control the milling cutter to process the track shoe at different positions and angles, so that it can be milled to form a flat surface, a specific angle bevel and a groove, thereby completing the milling of the track shoe; at the same time, during the processing, by controlling the nozzle 25, the coolant in the liquid accumulation cylinder 24 is continuously sprayed on the contact surface between the milling cutter and the track shoe, so as to reduce the contact temperature between the two, avoid the temperature at the milling position being too high to reduce the milling effect and damage the milling cutter and the track shoe, thereby improving the multi-axis When the positioning block 3 moves toward the base and drives the milling cutter to move synchronously, the positioning block 3 will be moved within the upper limit of the second base 21 through the limiting cylinder 20 on the limiting block 19, which is used to limit the downward movement of the positioning block 3, so as to avoid the shaking caused by the downward movement of the positioning block 3 during movement being transmitted to the milling cutter and affecting its processing effect on the track shoe. At the same time, it avoids the vibration feedback when the milling cutter processes the track shoe being transmitted to the positioning block 3 and affecting its movement stability, thereby improving the movement stability of the positioning block 3 and the processing accuracy of the multi-axis machine tool, so that the processing effect of the equipment is improved; at the same time, when the above-mentioned positioning block 3 moves downward, the limiting spring 22 will be in a buffering state, and the damping feeling generated is used to reduce the speed at which the milling cutter moves to the end position, so as to avoid the positioning block 3 driving the milling cutter to descend too fast, resulting in instability or tool collision, thereby improving the safety and service life of the multi-axis machine tool 1.

[0020] The positioning block 6 of this embodiment is provided with a sliding stop device for adjusting the distance between the milling cutter and the track shoe in the initial position; the sliding stop device includes a first base 9, which is installed on both sides of the positioning block 6; a stop cylinder 11, which is installed on the first base 9; the two stop cylinders 11 are slidably connected with a stop transverse plate 12, which is located on the side of the U-shaped square seat 4 away from the multi-axis machine tool 1; a pull ring is connected to the stop transverse plate 12; a stop square groove 13 is provided on the side of the positioning cylinder 5 close to the stop transverse plate 12; a plurality of stop square grooves 13 are arranged at equal distances; a stop plug 14 is installed on the side of the stop transverse plate 12 close to the U-shaped square seat 4; when the positioning block 6 needs to be limited When the first stop block 11 is in position, the stop plug 14 passes through the U-shaped square seat 4 and the positioning block 6 and is connected to one of the stop square grooves 13; the opposite sides of the two stop cylinders 11 are provided with a number of equidistantly arranged tooth grooves; the end of the stop cylinder 11 away from the first base 9 is connected to the stop limit plate 15; a stop spring 16 is sleeved on the stop cylinder 11; one end of the stop spring 16 is fixedly connected to the stop limit plate 15, and the other end is fixedly connected to the stop horizontal plate 12; extended bases 17 are installed on both sides of the stop horizontal plate 12; a positioning spring 18 is sleeved on the positioning cylinder 5; one end of the positioning spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped square seat 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the positioning block 6; When the multi-axis machine tool 1 is milling track plates of different thicknesses, the distance between the track plates and the milling cutter changes. If the distance between the two is not adjusted, the milling cutter will collide with the tool next time the machine tool is running. If the programming code of the machine tool is modified according to the thickness of the track plate each time, errors or error prompts will easily occur, which will affect the normal operation of the machine tool. At this time, by pulling the pull ring outward, the stop cross plate 12 on it moves within the limit position at the stop cylinder 11, so that the stop spring 16 is in a buffer state, and the stop cross plate 12 moves away from the U-shaped square seat 4 at this time, so that the stop plug 14 on the stop cross plate 12 is disengaged from the positioning block 6 and the U-shaped square seat in turn. The seat 4 is no longer connected to the stop square groove 13, thereby releasing the limit setting of the positioning block 6. At this time, by pulling the positioning block 6 up and down, it can be moved within the upper limit of the positioning cylinder 5, so that the positioning spring 18 is in a buffer state, which can drive the circular base 7 to move synchronously. The milling cutter is installed on the circular base 7, which can drive the milling cutter to move up and down, so that the distance between the milling cutter and the track shoe can be adjusted according to the actual processing requirements and the thickness of the workpiece, avoiding the phenomenon that the distance between the milling cutter and the track shoe cannot be adjusted after the milling cutter is fed and reset to the initial position. The height position of the milling cutter is adjusted in real time according to the thickness of the track shoe. This allows the machine tool to use the original programming program to control the feed movement when processing track shoes of different thicknesses, avoiding the situation where the milling cutter is not able to contact the track shoe due to insufficient descent, resulting in missed cutting and incomplete processing, and at the same time avoiding the milling cutter from descending too much and exceeding the actual thickness of the track shoe, resulting in easy damage to the track shoe and the milling cutter (i.e., "knife collision"). Even if the tool does not collide, it can avoid the phenomenon of overcutting the track shoe and scrapping the size, thereby improving the equipment's processing accuracy of the track shoe; at the same time, when the height position of the milling cutter is adjusted, the stop cross plate 12 is released, and the stop cross plate 12 can be driven to reset and move by resetting the stop spring 16, so that the stop plug 1 on it 4 passes through the U-shaped square seat 4 and the positioning block 6 and is connected to one of the stop square grooves 13, so as to limit the positioning block 6 and fix the milling cutter at the current height position for use, thereby preventing the distance between the milling cutter and the track shoe from changing due to non-human factors during the machine tool processing process. At the same time, the positioning spring 18 in the buffer state cannot be reset, and the resulting elastic force acts on the positioning block 6, thereby further strengthening the contact strength and friction between the stop block 14 and the stop square groove 13, preventing the stop block 14 from being dislocated during use, thereby affecting the installation state and use stability of the milling cutter, and reducing the limitations of the milling cutter when used;This makes it quick and easy for operators to adjust the distance between the milling cutter and the track shoe when controlling machine tool processing, and can be done without any tools. This prevents the machine tool from being used without tools that affect the distance adjustment between the milling cutter and the track shoe. It also prevents operators from frequently modifying the code to control the real-time stop position of the milling cutter based on the thickness of the track shoe. This not only reduces the probability of machine tool operation errors and machine operation risks, but also significantly reduces the production efficiency of the equipment, thereby further reducing the limitations of the machine tool in practical application.

[0021] The circular base 7 of this embodiment is provided with a double-action cleaning component for cleaning impurities and debris adhering to the milling cutter; the double-action cleaning component includes a retaining rack 10, which is installed at the bottom of the positioning round block 3; a third base 41, which is installed on the circular base 7; a driving shaft 42, which is rotatably connected to the third base 41; a driving gear 43 is installed at one end of the driving shaft 42, and an active bevel gear 44 is installed at the other end; the driving gear 43 is meshed with the retaining rack 10; a driving base 45 is connected to the circular base 7; A reciprocating screw 46 is mounted on the dynamic base 45; a driven bevel gear 47 is connected to the reciprocating screw 46; the driven bevel gear 47 is meshed with the active bevel gear 44; a reciprocating block 48 is threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw 46; a reciprocating slide 49 is mounted on the driving base 45; the reciprocating slide 49 is connected to the reciprocating block 48 in a sliding manner; a reciprocating cleaning ring 50 is mounted on the reciprocating block 48 and is sleeved on the milling cutter; a plurality of high-pressure nozzles 51 are mounted on the reciprocating cleaning ring 50, all of which are directed towards the working end of the milling cutter; When adjusting the distance between the milling cutter and the track shoe, the milling cutter moves up and down with the positioning block 6, so that the distance between the circular base 7 and the positioning circular block 3 on it will change, and the driving gear 43 is installed on the circular base 7, and the retaining rack 10 is installed on the positioning circular block 3, so that when the circular base 7 drives the driving gear 43 to move, it rotates due to the engagement with the retaining rack 10, so that it drives the driven bevel gear 47 to rotate under the transmission of a series of parts, so that the reciprocating screw 46 on it rotates on the driving base 45, so that the reciprocating block 48 threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw 46 can move back and forth on the reciprocating slide 49, which can drive the reciprocating cleaning ring 50 to move back and forth at the milling cutter, so as to reciprocate and clean the impurities and debris remaining on the milling cutter. It is also worth mentioning that when the locking tooth block 33 is no longer engaged with the tooth groove on the stop cylinder 11 After that, it means that the limit setting of the stop cross plate 12 needs to be released, which means that the height position of the milling cutter needs to be controlled so that the locking slider 28 and the signal patch 30 on the opposite surface of the extended base 17 no longer contact each other. The signal disconnection will be discovered in time by the controller, and a start signal will be sent to the high-pressure nozzle 51 simultaneously, so that it can continuously spray air or liquid at the milling cutter to further clean the impurities or debris adhering to the milling cutter. At the same time, when the reciprocating cleaning ring 50 moves back and forth up and down, it simultaneously drives the high-pressure nozzle 51 to move, so that it can clean different positions of the milling cutter, avoid dead angles in cleaning, improve the cleaning effect of the milling cutter, and improve the effect and precision of the milling cutter in subsequent use and processing; at the same time, it avoids the impurities or debris adhering to the milling cutter when it is used next time and affects the processing effect of the track plate, so that the use effect of the machine tool can be improved.

[0022] The extended base 17 of this embodiment is provided with a locking anti-movement mechanism; the locking anti-movement mechanism includes a locking column 26, which is installed on the side of the extended base 17 away from the stop horizontal plate 12; the locking column 26 is connected to a locking limit plate 27 at one end away from the extended base 17; a locking slider 28 is connected to the locking column 26 through the locking column 26, and the two are slidably matched; a locking spring 29 is sleeved on the locking column 26; one end of the locking spring 29 is fixedly connected to the locking limit plate 27, and the other end is fixedly connected to the locking slider 28; the opposite surfaces of the locking slider 28 and the extended base 17 are provided with signal patches 30; when the locking spring 29 is not deformed, the locking slider 28 and the extended base 17 are locked.
