Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of CNC drilling and milling machine heads, and more specifically to a dual independent CNC drilling and milling machine head with adjustable machining angle. Background Technology

[0002] CNC drilling and milling machines are high-precision CNC machine tools that integrate drilling, milling, and tapping functions. They achieve automated processing through a computer control system and are widely used in modern manufacturing. Currently, small CNC drilling and milling machines are available on the market, resembling existing CNC drilling machines in appearance. These machines typically have a single-head structure, but to achieve synchronous or multi-speed machining, some have multiple independently fed heads. However, the feed direction of these heads is always vertical. For example, when milling a workpiece, the workpiece's machining surface needs to be horizontal. Sometimes, however, the workpiece needs to be machined on multiple planes, such as one horizontal plane and another inclined plane, with the horizontal bottom surface as the machining reference plane. This requires multiple clamping and adjustment of the machining surface positions, which is necessary for existing CNC drilling and milling machines to achieve this. Therefore, some have proposed adjusting the angle of the drilling and milling head to achieve multi-angle plane machining while using the same reference plane as the clamping reference. This necessitates the design of a CNC drilling and milling head with the aforementioned functions. Summary of the Invention

The fixed drilling and milling machine head 3 is only suitable for processing the horizontal surface of the upper part of the workpiece.

[0034] The moving drilling and milling head 4 achieves the feed of the drilling and milling spindle b by changing the angle, so that the drilling and milling spindle b can be used to process the inclined surface on the upper part of the workpiece, while also taking into account the horizontal surface.

[0035] The angle adjustment of the moving drilling and milling head 4 is mainly based on the control of the angle adjustment motor 61. The angle adjustment motor 61 can drive the adjustment screw 63 to rotate, thereby driving the adjustment slide 65 to move up and down. The connecting arm 66 on the adjustment slide 65 drives the position of the connecting rod 67 to change, thereby realizing the rotation of the moving drilling and milling head 4 around the hinge bracket 5, and realizing the angle adjustment of the moving drilling and milling head 4.
