Description

Technical Field

[0002] Mill-turn machining is an advanced manufacturing technology that combines turning and milling operations on a single machine tool, effectively improving the machining accuracy and efficiency of complex parts. Currently, mill-turn machining is developing rapidly in the machining field and is one of the important directions for future development, with wide applications in aerospace, precision instruments, and other fields. Horizontal mill-turn machining centers, as one of the highest-end machine tools in the industry, have huge market demand. These machine tools play an irreplaceable role in improving the machining accuracy and efficiency of key parts in industries such as energy, aerospace, aviation, shipbuilding, and military. The diversified market demands have spurred technological innovation in machine tools. The automatic tool changer system of the horizontal milling and turning machining center consists of a three-layer disc tool magazine and a tool changing robot. However, the tool length and maximum tool diameter of the disc tool magazine are limited. For some deep hole operations, heavy-duty boring bar and corresponding fixing components are required. For specific operations, a variable diameter turning function is required. The variable diameter turning function requires a corresponding power seat component. In addition, a protective cover component is installed under the milling spindle assembly. None of these components can be loaded into the disc tool magazine.

[0003] To address this, a heavy-duty tool storage device and quick-change method for machine tools based on a zero-point positioning system are proposed, which can realize the storage and automatic exchange of four components: heavy-duty boring bar assembly, boring bar fixing assembly, power seat assembly, and protective cover assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in existing machining requirements, this invention provides a heavy-duty machine tool storage device and quick-change method based on a zero-point positioning system. The device consists of three stations, whose extension and retraction are controlled by three hydraulic cylinders. Each station is equipped with a zero-point positioning chuck and a quick-change connector. The zero-point chuck engages with pull studs on four components: the heavy-duty boring bar assembly (e), the boring bar fixing assembly (g), the power seat assembly (f), and the protective cover assembly (h), enabling rapid positioning and clamping of the workpiece or tooling. A quick-change method is proposed, in which all components are designed in layers. The bottom layer is the heavy-duty tool storage device a, whose zero-point chuck is powered directly by an air source. The middle layer consists of a heavy-duty boring bar assembly e, a boring bar fixing assembly g, a power seat assembly f, and a protective cover assembly h. Quick-change connectors provide power to the zero-point chucks on the boring bar fixing assembly g, the power seat assembly f, and the protective cover assembly h, enabling the zero-point chucks on these components to connect with the pull studs on the milling spindle assembly i, achieving rapid positioning and clamping of the components. The top layer is the milling spindle assembly i. This method mainly involves the kinematic coordination between the heavy-duty tool storage device a and the heavy-duty boring bar assembly e, the boring bar fixing assembly g, the power seat assembly f, the protective cover assembly h, and the milling spindle assembly i.

An exploded view of the tool changing method used in the machine tool application is shown below. Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown.

[0033] A heavy-duty tool storage device for machine tools based on a zero-point positioning system. The device mainly consists of three workstations. In the initial state, the heavy-duty boring bar assembly e, the boring bar fixing assembly g, the power seat assembly f, and the protective cover assembly h are stored in the three workstations of the heavy-duty tool storage device a.

[0034] The quick-change method for machine tool applications is implemented as follows:

[0035] Initially, the third cylinder 22, the second cylinder 18, and the first cylinder 11 are in the retracted state. The heavy-duty boring bar assembly e, the boring bar fixing assembly g, the power seat assembly f, and the protective cover assembly h are stored in the machine tool heavy-duty tool storage device a. Station one b stores the power seat assembly f and the protective cover assembly h, station two c stores the heavy-duty boring bar assembly e, and station three d stores the boring bar fixing assembly g. The milling spindle assembly i is waiting in the set position.

[0036] The first hydraulic cylinder 11 extends, and the corresponding station 3D extends. The first quick-change connector 20 on station 3D is vented, and the first zero-point chuck 7 on the boring bar fixing assembly g opens. The milling spindle assembly i moves to the docking position above the boring bar fixing assembly g. The first zero-point chuck 7 on station 3D is vented and opened, and the second pull stud 28 on the boring bar fixing assembly g is disconnected from the first zero-point chuck 7 on station 3D. The first quick-change connector 20 on station 3D is de-vented, and the first zero-point chuck 7 on the boring bar fixing assembly g is locked to the second pull stud 28 on the milling spindle assembly i. The boring bar fixing assembly g connects to the milling spindle assembly i and moves to the set position. The first hydraulic cylinder 11 retracts, and the corresponding station 3D retracts. The second hydraulic cylinder 18 extends, and the corresponding station 2c extends as well. The milling spindle assembly i, along with the boring bar fixing assembly g, moves to the docking position with the heavy-duty boring bar assembly e. The hydraulic expansion sleeve 30 in the boring bar fixing assembly g clamps the heavy-duty boring bar 24, while the pull-out mechanism 33 in the milling spindle assembly i tightens the tool holder. The second zero-point chuck 13 on station 2b opens, the two-finger cylinder 15 opens, and the heavy-duty boring bar assembly e disconnects from station 2b. The heavy-duty boring bar assembly e connects to the boring bar fixing assembly g and the milling spindle assembly i and moves to the working position. The second hydraulic cylinder 18 retracts, and the corresponding station 2c retracts as well. This completes the tool changing process for the heavy-duty boring bar assembly e. The tool return process is the reverse of the tool changing process: first return the heavy-duty boring bar assembly e, then return the boring bar fixing assembly g.

[0037] The third hydraulic cylinder 22 extends, and the corresponding station 1b extends. The first quick-change connector 20 on station 1b is vented, and the first zero-point chuck 7 on the power base assembly f opens. The milling spindle assembly i moves to the docking position above the power base assembly f. The first zero-point chuck 7 on station 1b is vented and opened, the second pull stud 28 on the power base assembly f disconnects from the first zero-point chuck 7 on station 1b, the first quick-change connector 20 on station 1b is de-vented, and the first zero-point chuck 7 on the power base assembly f locks with the second pull stud 28 on the milling spindle assembly i. The power base assembly f connects to the milling spindle assembly i and moves to the set position. The third hydraulic cylinder 22 retracts, and the corresponding station 1b retracts. This completes the tool changing process of the power base assembly f. The tool return process is the reverse of the tool changing process.

[0038] The third hydraulic cylinder 22 extends, and the corresponding station 1b extends. The first quick-change connector 20 on station 1b is vented, and the first zero-point chuck 7 on the protective cover assembly h opens. The milling spindle assembly i moves to the docking position above the protective cover assembly h. The first zero-point chuck 7 on station 1b is vented and opened, and the second pull stud 28 on the protective cover assembly h is disconnected from the first zero-point chuck 7 on station 1b. The first quick-change connector 20 on station 1b is de-vented, and the first zero-point chuck 7 on the protective cover assembly locks with the second pull stud 28 on the milling spindle assembly i. The protective cover assembly h is connected to the milling spindle assembly i and moves to the set position. The third hydraulic cylinder 22 retracts, and the corresponding station 1b retracts. This completes the tool changing process of the protective cover assembly h. The tool return process is the reverse of the tool changing process.

[0039] The heavy-duty machine tool storage device a of this invention is based on a zero-point positioning system. The zero-point positioning system features high repeatability, large clamping force, and ease of operation, effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of storage and replacement of each component. Structurally, the heavy-duty machine tool storage device a employs a wide-width, high-rigidity linear motion rolling guide rail. The mounting base plate adopts a flanged design, and the zero-point chuck mounting base and mounting base plate are designed in layers with independent operation. Special material selection was made for the base, and a triangular support connection was used between the base and the mounting base plate, effectively ensuring the rigidity of the three workstations in a cantilevered state and guaranteeing the accuracy of the zero-point positioning system's docking. Through a specific quick-change method, all components of this method are designed in layers, integrating the power supply for the boring bar fixing component g, power seat component f, protective cover component h, and upper milling spindle component i into the heavy-duty machine tool storage device a, cleverly solving the problem of power supply for the intermediate layers. Applying this invention to milling and turning composite machine tools solves the problem that heavy tools and auxiliary devices cannot be stored in the tool magazine, and proposes a new structure and control method for the storage and replacement of tools in milling and turning composite machine tools.
