Description

[0002] In the field of machine tool processing, the tailstock is a key component for supporting workpieces and ensuring processing accuracy, and its performance directly affects the processing quality and running stability of the machine tool. With the continuous improvement of the requirements of manufacturing industry on processing precision, efficiency and safety, the traditional tailstock structure gradually exposes many technical pain points, which is difficult to meet the needs of modern production.

It should be understood that the embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present application is complete and complete, and the concepts of the exemplary embodiments are sufficiently conveyed to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, according to the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a tailstock assembly is provided, which comprises: a tailstock component 110, the tailstock component 110 comprising a base 111 and a seat body 112, the seat body 112 being arranged on the base 111; a pull hook 120, the pull hook 120 being arranged in the base 111 and connected to the seat body 112; a guide rail 130, the guide rail 130 being arranged on one side of the base 111, the tailstock assembly being in a locked state when the pull hook 120 is connected to the guide rail 130, and the tailstock assembly being in an unlocked state when the pull hook 120 is disconnected from the guide rail 130; and a driving component 140, the driving component 140 comprising a pressing rod 141 and an oil cylinder 142, the contact side of the pressing rod 141 with the seat body 112 being a slope, the pull hook 120 being connected to the guide rail 130 when the pressing rod 141 moves in a first direction, and the pull hook 120 being disconnected from the guide rail 130 when the pressing rod 141 moves in a second direction.

[0026] The tailstock assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises the tailstock component 110, the pull hook 120, the guide rail 130 and the driving component 140, and the oil cylinder 142 in the driving component 140 is the core power source when the tailstock assembly is working. When locking is required, the oil cylinder 142 drives the pressing rod 141 to move in the first direction, the slope of the contact side of the pressing rod 141 with the seat body 112 will be transmitted to the seat body 112, thereby driving the pull hook 120 connected to the seat body 112 to move synchronously, so that the pull hook 120 gradually approaches and connects to the guide rail 130 on one side of the base 111, and at this time, the tailstock assembly enters the locked state. When unlocking is required, the oil cylinder 142 drives the pressing rod 141 to move in the second direction, the direction of the slope changes, the seat body 112 drives the pull hook 120 to gradually disconnect from the guide rail 130, and the tailstock assembly switches to the unlocked state. During the whole process, the base 111 provides mounting support for the tailstock component 110, the pull hook 120, the guide rail 130 and other components, and ensures that the components move in coordination and order.

[0027] The tailstock assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application drives the pressing rod 141 by means of the oil cylinder 142, and realizes the precise connection or disconnection of the pull hook 120 and the guide rail 130 by combining the slope of the pressing rod 141 with the seat body 112, so that the action transmission is direct and efficient, the lag problem of the traditional locking mode is avoided, and the response speed of locking and unlocking is improved. In terms of stability, the cooperation of the pull hook 120 and the guide rail 130 and the slope contact of the pressing rod 141 and the seat body 112 ensure that the connection is tight when locking and the separation is smooth when unlocking, so that the tailstock assembly is not prone to looseness in the locked state and moves flexibly in the unlocked state, effectively improves the overall running stability of the tailstock assembly, provides reliable protection for the precise positioning of the workpiece during machine tool machining, and reduces the machining errors caused by locking / unlocking problems.

[0028] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, in an embodiment, the seat body 112 includes a body 1121 arranged on the base 111, and a pressing block 1122 slidingly connected to the body 1121, and the pull hook 120 is connected to the pressing block 1122.

[0029] In the technical solution, the seat body 112 can include the body 1121 and the pressing block 1122 slidingly connected to the body 1121, and the pull hook 120 is connected to the pressing block 1122. When the tailstock assembly is in operation, the oil cylinder 142 drives the pressing rod 141 to move in the first direction, and the inclined surface of the pressing rod 141 acts on the pressing block 1122 slidingly connected to the body 1121, pushing the pressing block 1122 to slide along the body 1121, and further driving the pull hook 120 connected to the pressing block 1122 to approach the side guide rail 130 of the base 111. The pull hook 120 is connected to the guide rail 130, and the assembly is locked. When unlocking is needed, the oil cylinder 142 drives the pressing rod 141 to move in the second direction, and the force acting on the inclined surface changes, the pressing block 1122 slides reversely, and the pull hook 120 is separated from the guide rail 130 along with the pressing block 1122, and the assembly is unlocked. The body 1121 is fixed to the base 111, providing stable support for the sliding of the pressing block 1122 and ensuring the coherent action of the components. The pressing block 1122 is slidingly connected to the body 1121, limiting the action track of the pull hook 120, avoiding the deviation of the pull hook 120, making the butt joint of the pull hook 120 and the guide rail 130 more accurate, improving the reliability of locking and unlocking, and reducing the locking failure caused by the misplacement of the components. The pressing block 1122 can more evenly transmit the force acting on the inclined surface of the pressing rod 141 to the pull hook 120, avoiding the damage of the components caused by excessive local force, and prolonging the service life of the pull hook 120 and the pressing rod 141. At the same time, the sliding design of the pressing block 1122 makes the force transmission more smooth, reduces the probability of action jamming, and keeps the stability of the assembly in frequent locking and unlocking operations, providing protection for the continuity and precision of machine tool processing.

[0030] In some examples, the pressing block 1122 is formed with a U-shaped groove facing the guide rail 130, which can greatly reduce the contact area of the pressing block 1122 with related components when moving, reduce the friction resistance from the structure, make the sliding of the pressing block 1122 along the body 1121 more smooth, and avoid the action jamming caused by excessive friction. At the same time, the smaller contact area can reduce the friction loss, prolong the service life of the pressing block 1122 and the cooperating components, ensure the coherence of the locking / unlocking action of the tailstock assembly, and indirectly improve the overall operation efficiency and stability.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, in one feasible implementation, there are at least two pressure blocks 1122 and hooks 120, with each pressure block 1122 corresponding to a pressure rod 141; the number of guide rails 130 is adapted to the number of hooks 120. This arrangement, with multiple sets of pressure blocks 1122, hooks 120, and adapted guide rails 130, allows for locking and unlocking control of the tailstock assembly from multiple points, ensuring that the locking force is evenly distributed between the base 111 and the seat 112, preventing component deformation caused by excessive force at a single point, and improving the overall structural stability of the assembly. Each pressure block 1122 corresponds to an independent pressure rod 141, enabling synchronous operation of each locking unit, ensuring precise docking between the hooks 120 and the guide rails 130, and reducing locking deviations caused by asynchronous actions. The number of adapted guide rails 130 ensures that each hook 120 has a corresponding locking point, further enhancing locking reliability, meeting the tailstock locking strength requirements during heavy workpiece processing, and reducing the risk of displacement caused by processing vibration.

[0032] In some examples, there are two rails 130, each rail 130 has two hooks 120, and there can be four hooks 120.

[0033] It is understandable that the first direction is the direction in which the pressure rod 141 moves outward, that is, moves away from the oil cylinder 142, and the second direction is the direction in which the pressure rod 141 moves inward, that is, moves closer to the oil cylinder 142.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the tailstock assembly further includes: a first lubricating oil supply path 150 is provided on the pressure block 1122, and a second lubricating oil supply path 160 is provided on the pressure rod 141, the second lubricating oil supply path 160 being connected to the first lubricating oil supply path 150.

[0035] In this technical solution, the tailstock assembly may include a first lubricating oil supply path 150 and a second lubricating oil supply path 160. The first lubricating oil supply path 150 of the pressure block 1122 is connected to the second lubricating oil supply path 160 of the pressure rod 141, which can accurately deliver lubricating oil to the contact area between the pressure block 1122 and the pressure rod 141, as well as the sliding contact surface between the pressure block 1122 and the body 1121. This achieves comprehensive lubrication of key friction parts, avoiding the problem of inadequate local lubrication under traditional lubrication methods, and significantly reducing the frictional resistance between components. Continuous and precise lubrication can reduce the wear of components such as the pressure block 1122 and the pressure rod 141, avoid damage such as surface scratches and deformation caused by dry friction, extend the service life of each component, and reduce maintenance and replacement costs. At the same time, good lubrication can reduce frictional heat generation, avoid affecting component performance due to local overheating, and ensure that the tailstock assembly can maintain stable locking and unlocking actions during long-term high-frequency operation, providing support for machine tool processing efficiency and accuracy.

[0036] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in a possible implementation, the oil cylinder 142 comprises: a cylinder body 1421, the first oil port 1424 and the second oil port 1425 are arranged on the cylinder body 1421; a first piston 1422 arranged in the cylinder body 1421; a connecting rod 1423, one end of the connecting rod 1423 is connected to the first piston 1422, and the other end of the connecting rod 1423 is connected to the pressing rod 141; wherein when the cylinder body 1421 is filled with oil through the first oil port 1424 and discharges oil through the second oil port 1425, the first piston 1422 drives the pressing rod 141 to move in the first direction; wherein when the cylinder body 1421 is filled with oil through the second oil port 1425 and discharges oil through the first oil port 1424, the first piston 1422 drives the pressing rod 141 to move in the second direction.

[0037] In this technical solution, when the tail seat assembly needs to be locked, hydraulic oil enters through the first oil port 1424 of the cylinder body 1421 and discharges from the second oil port 1425. The entering hydraulic oil pushes the first piston 1422 in the cylinder body 1421 to move, and the connecting rod 1423 connected to the first piston 1422 is linked to move, thereby driving the pressing rod 141 connected at the other end to move in the first direction. The pressing rod 141 acts on the pressing block 1122 through the inclined surface, so that the drag hook 120 approaches and connects the guide rail 130, and the locking is completed. When unlocking is needed, the hydraulic oil is switched to enter through the second oil port 1425 and discharge through the first oil port 1424, the first piston 1422 moves reversely, the connecting rod 1423 drives the pressing rod 141 to move in the second direction, and the pressing block 1122 drives the drag hook 120 to separate from the guide rail 130, so as to realize the unlocking. The whole process is controlled by the oil inlet and outlet to control the piston movement, and then drive the pressing rod 141 to act. The oil cylinder 142 is controlled by the double oil ports to enter and discharge oil, which can accurately drive the first piston 1422 to move in both directions, and then realize the stable bidirectional action of the pressing rod 141, so as to ensure that the drag hook 120 and the guide rail 130 are more reliably connected or separated, and avoid action jamming or deviation. The connecting rod 1423 transmits the piston power, so that the force transmission is more direct and efficient, and the energy loss is reduced. Compared with the traditional mechanical driving, the hydraulic driving mode has faster response speed and stable driving force, and can adapt to the needs of the tail seat assembly for locking and unlocking force in different working conditions, and improve the overall operation stability.

[0038] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in a possible implementation, the tail seat assembly further comprises: a guide assembly 170, the guide assembly 170 comprises: an elastic piece 171 and a shaft pin 172, a sunken groove is arranged on the drag hook 120, the elastic piece 171 is arranged in the sunken groove, and the shaft pin 172 is arranged on the elastic piece 171, and the shaft pin 172 is used for abutting against the pressing rod 141.

[0039] In the technical solution, the tailstock assembly can include a guide assembly 170, which can include an elastic member 171 and a shaft pin 172. The shaft pin 172 is always in abutment with the pressing rod 141 under the action of the elastic member 171, forming real-time fitting support and positioning, which can limit the lateral deviation of the pressing rod 141 during movement, avoid the tilting of the pressing rod 141 due to uneven force, and ensure the smooth movement of the pressing rod 141 in the preset direction. At the same time, the limiting of the sink groove to the elastic member 171 makes the elastic force output of the elastic member 171 more stable, and the support force of the shaft pin 172 to the pressing rod 141 is continuous and uniform, reducing the vibration or jamming of the pressing rod 141 during movement. This stable guide and support enable the pressing rod 141 to accurately transmit driving force to the pressing block 1122 and the draw hook 120, ensuring accurate and reliable locking / unlocking action and avoiding component fitting errors caused by the deviation of the pressing rod 141.

[0040] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 In a possible implementation, the tailstock assembly further includes a limiting assembly 180, which includes a limiting plate 181 and a proximity switch 182. The limiting plate 181 is connected to the housing of the driving assembly 140, and a long slot is formed in the limiting plate 181. The proximity switch 182 passes through the long slot and is connected to the oil cylinder 142, and is used to detect the driving position of the oil cylinder 142.

[0041] In the technical solution, the tailstock assembly can further include a limiting assembly 180, which can include a limiting plate 181 and a proximity switch 182. The limiting assembly 180 can accurately control the driving position of the oil cylinder 142. The proximity switch 182 is connected to the oil cylinder 142 through the long slot of the limiting plate 181, which can detect the action stroke of the oil cylinder 142 in real time, avoid excessive force damage to components such as the pressing rod 141 and the draw hook 120 caused by overtravel of the oil cylinder 142, and ensure that the actions of various assemblies are within a safe range. The long slot provides installation and adjustment space for the proximity switch 182, which facilitates the fine adjustment of the detection position according to the actual working conditions and adapts to different locking / unlocking requirements. At the same time, by accurately detecting the position of the oil cylinder 142, the oil inlet and outlet switching can be triggered in time, ensuring that the pressing rod 141 moves to the correct position, so that the draw hook 120 accurately docks with or separates from the guide rail 130, improving the accuracy and reliability of the locking / unlocking of the tailstock assembly.

[0042] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 In a possible implementation, the tailstock assembly further includes a tailstock assembly 210, which includes a sleeve 211 and a movable tailstock 212 movably arranged in the sleeve 211. The sleeve 211 is connected to the seat body 112. A driving oil way and a brake lever 220 are connected to the brake lever 220. The brake lever 220 is used to drive the movable tailstock 212. A locking assembly 230 is connected in parallel to the driving oil way and the tailstock assembly 210. The locking assembly 230 is used to lock the brake lever 220 in the event of abnormal conditions of the driving oil way.

[0043] In the technical scheme, further provided is the structural composition of the tailstock assembly, the tailstock assembly can further include a tailstock center assembly 210, a driving oil circuit, a brake lever 220, and a locking assembly 230. When the tailstock center assembly 210 is working, the driving oil circuit delivers hydraulic oil to the brake lever 220, the pressure of the hydraulic oil drives the brake lever 220 to act, and the brake lever 220 further drives the movable tailstock center 212 in the sleeve 211 to move, so as to realize the extension or retraction of the movable tailstock center 212 to adapt to the workpiece support requirement. When extended, the movable tailstock center 212 can tightly abut against the workpiece to provide stable support for machining, and when retracted, the workpiece can be conveniently loaded and unloaded. The locking assembly 230 is connected in parallel with the tailstock center assembly 210 on the driving oil circuit, and does not interfere with the movement of the brake lever 220 and the movable tailstock center 212 when normal oil supply. When abnormal conditions such as interruption of oil supply and sudden pressure drop occur in the driving oil circuit, the locking assembly 230 is quickly started to lock the brake lever 220, so as to prevent the brake lever 220 and the movable tailstock center 212 from moving accidentally and ensure the stable positioning of the workpiece. The movable tailstock center 212 can be accurately adjusted in length through the brake lever 220, can tightly abut against workpieces of different specifications, can provide reliable support for machining, can reduce workpiece vibration, and can improve machining precision. From the perspective of safety protection, the locking assembly 230 quickly locks the brake lever 220 when the oil circuit is abnormal, so as to avoid the workpiece from being deviated or falling off due to accidental movement of the movable tailstock center 212, and reduce the risk of damage to the equipment and the workpiece. At the same time, the cooperation of the driving oil circuit and the brake lever 220 enables the movable tailstock center 212 to move quickly in response, so as to adapt to the requirements of high-frequency workpiece loading and unloading and machining of the machine tool and ensure the continuity of production.

[0044] In some examples, the abnormal condition of the driving oil circuit includes a circuit break or insufficient oil supply of the driving oil circuit.

[0045] In a possible implementation, the locking assembly 230 includes a brake box 231, the brake box 231 is arranged on one side of the brake lever 220, and a third oil port 232 is formed in the brake box 231; a second piston 233 is arranged in the brake box 231; a disc spring 234 is arranged in the second piston 233 and the brake box 231; wherein the side of the second piston 233 facing the brake lever 220 is provided with a first tooth, and the side of the brake lever 220 facing the second piston 233 is provided with a second tooth. In the case that hydraulic oil is injected into the third oil port 232, the second piston 233 is away from the brake lever 220, and in the case that the injection of hydraulic oil into the third oil port 232 is stopped, the second tooth abuts against the first tooth.

[0046] In the technical solution, the structure of the locking assembly 230 is further provided, which can include a brake box 231, a second piston 233, and a disc spring 234. When the locking assembly 230 works, because the locking assembly 230 is connected in parallel with the top assembly 210 to the driving oil circuit, the oil supply state of the third oil port 232 changes synchronously with the driving oil circuit. When the driving oil circuit is normally supplied with oil, hydraulic oil is injected into the brake box 231 through the third oil port 232, and the second piston 233 in the brake box 231 is pushed to move away from the brake lever 220. In the process, the disc spring 234 between the second piston 233 and the brake box 231 is compressed. At this time, the first tooth on the second piston 233 is separated from the second tooth of the brake lever 220, and the brake lever 220 can freely act to drive the movable top 212. When the driving oil circuit is abnormal (for example, the oil supply is interrupted), the third oil port 232 stops injecting oil, the disc spring 234 is elastically reset, the second piston 233 is pushed to move towards the brake lever 220, and the first tooth is in abutment with the second tooth, thereby locking the brake lever 220 and preventing it from driving the movable top 212 to move unexpectedly. The locking assembly 230 can quickly respond when the oil circuit is abnormal, reliably lock the brake lever 220 through the tooth engagement, avoid the movable top 212 from moving unexpectedly to cause the workpiece to deviate or fall off, and ensure the machining safety and the workpiece precision. In terms of stability, the locking mode of tooth engagement has strong fastening, can withstand a large external force, and the elastic force of the disc spring 234 is stable, which can ensure the continuous and reliable locking state. At the same time, the tooth separation does not interfere with the action of the brake lever 220 when the oil is normally supplied, and the normal operation efficiency of the equipment and the safety guarantee under abnormal conditions are considered.

[0047] In some examples, the tailstock assembly can also include a locking position switch to detect the position of the brake lever 220.
