Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of machine tool center rest technology, specifically a linkage-type same-side adjustable center rest. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the national high-end equipment manufacturing strategic industry, machine tool equipment is widely used in aerospace, wind power and nuclear power, mining machinery, large-scale water conservancy and other fields. Especially in the production field involving aircraft landing gear structural frames, higher requirements are placed on the precision, efficiency, safety and user-friendliness of machine tool processing. As a workpiece mounting and support device, the rationality of the center rest's structure directly affects the overall improvement of machine tool processing. Traditional center rests adopt a closed structure of upper and lower bodies, with support slides arranged on both sides of the center rest body. When hoisting workpieces, the upper body of the center rest needs to be repeatedly opened and closed. When adjusting the support slides on both sides, workers need to run back and forth on the machine tool bed, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low work efficiency. The working conditions such as iron filings at the rear of the bed are complex, and the back-and-forth running of workers poses safety hazards. Furthermore, the severe vibration during workpiece processing can cause the frame to loosen, and may cause certain damage to the workpiece and the frame. Summary of the Invention

[0004] A linkage-type same-side adjustable center frame includes a center frame body.

A drive shaft is rotatably connected between the first and second support bodies and between the second support bodies via a universal coupling. A first gear ring is rotatably mounted on the upper and lower ends of the side of the first support body, and a first hollow screw rotatably passes through the side of the first support body. The inner end face of the first gear ring is threaded, and the first hollow screw spirally passes through the first gear ring. A first main gear shaft is rotatably mounted on one side of the first support body, and one side of the first main gear shaft rotatably meshes with a first secondary gear shaft. The first secondary gear shaft and the first gear...

This avoids frequent manual adjustments. Furthermore, this solution uses a braking mechanism to brake the rotational transmission, ensuring workpiece clamping stability during vibration. The cylinder provides a safe buffer range during workpiece vibration, preventing damage to the center frame and workpiece due to excessive vibration impact. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example 1 A first gear ring 1014 is rotatably mounted on the upper and lower ends of the side of the first support body 101, and a first hollow screw 1011 is rotatably passed through the side of the first support body 101. The inner end face of the first gear ring 1014 is threaded, and the first hollow screw 1011 spirally passes through the first gear ring 1014. A first main gear shaft 1012 is rotatably mounted on one side of the first support body 101. A bit catch 10121 is coaxially mounted on the upper end face of the first main gear shaft 1012. The bit catch 10121 rotatably extends out of the center frame body 1. A first auxiliary gear shaft 1013 is rotatably engaged on one side of the first main gear shaft 1012. The first auxiliary gear shaft 1013 is rotatably engaged with the first gear ring 1014. A second support body 102 is rotatably mounted on the upper and lower ends of the middle. A second gear ring 1021 has a second auxiliary gear shaft 1022 rotatably meshed on both sides. A second main gear shaft 1023 rotatably meshes on the outer side of the second auxiliary gear shaft 1022. A second hollow screw 1024 rotatably passes through the middle of the second support body 102. The inner end face of the second gear ring 1021 is threaded. The second hollow screw 1024 spirally passes through the second gear ring 1021. A top post is movably provided on the inner end face of the first hollow screw 1011 and the second hollow screw 1024. An auxiliary wheel 1061 rotatably provides at the end of the top post 106. The transmission shaft 104 is coaxially connected to the first main gear shaft 1012 and the second main gear shaft 1023 through a universal coupling 103. The first hollow screw 1011 and the second main gear shaft 1023 are connected to the second main gear shaft 1022 and the second main gear shaft 1023 through a universal coupling 103. The upper and lower ends of the two hollow screws 1024 movably pass through the central frame body 1. Top plates 105 are provided at the inner and outer ends of the first and second hollow screws 1024. The first hollow screw 1011 and the second hollow screw 1024 are rotatably connected to the top plates 105. The top plates 105 are movably disposed outside the central frame body 1. Auxiliary rods 1051 are arrayed and connected between the top plates 105. The auxiliary rods 1051 are located around the first hollow screw 1011 and the second hollow screw 1024. The lower parts of the first gear ring 1014 and the second gear ring 1021 involved in this solution can be in an extended state. Their extended parts are rotatably connected to the first support body 101 and the second support body 102 via bearings, and connected to the rotating part via the bit chuck 10121. A wrench or an electric shaft for transmission is used to rotate the first main gear shaft 1012, which in turn rotates the first auxiliary gear shaft 1013, thereby enabling the first hollow screw 1011 to move up and down. At this time, the top plate 105 and the auxiliary rod 1051 can ensure the smooth movement of the first hollow screw 1011 and the second hollow screw 1024, thus enabling the top column to move inward and outward at the recess in the center of the central frame body 1. While the first main gear shaft 1012 rotates, the universal coupling 103 and the transmission shaft 104 can drive the second main gear shaft 1023 and the second auxiliary gear shaft 1022 to rotate, thereby meshing and driving the second gear ring 1021 to rotate, causing the second hollow screw 1024, through which the helix passes, to move up and down.In this design, both sides of the first main gear shaft 1012 are equipped with bit retainers 10121, allowing for transmission input from both sides or simultaneous transmission input from both sides. The first main gear shaft 1012, the first auxiliary gear shaft 1013, the second main gear shaft 1023, and the second auxiliary gear shaft 1022 all have gear sections at their upper and lower ends, ensuring stable meshing transmission. Furthermore, the shafts of the first main gear shaft 1012, the first auxiliary gear shaft 1013, the second main gear shaft 1023, and the second auxiliary gear shaft 1022 are rotatably mounted inside the first support body 101 and the second support body 102 via bearings. The diameters of the first and second gear rings are smaller than the adjacent and relative distances of the auxiliary rods, thus not affecting the rotation of the first and second gear rings.
[0025] Example 2 Based on the first embodiment, an air buffer cylinder 107 is provided on the outer side of the top plate 105 at the outer end of the first hollow screw 1011 and the second hollow screw 1024. A moving rod 1071 is movably provided in the middle of the first hollow screw 1011 and the second hollow screw 1024. The air buffer cylinder 107 controls the moving rod 1071. The lower end of the moving rod 1071 is connected to the top rod 106, and a pressure sensor 1072 is provided at the connection point. The top plate 105 at the outer end of the first hollow screw 1011 and the second hollow screw 1024... A support plate 1052 is provided on the outer side, and support columns 1053 are arranged in an array between the support plate 1052 and the top plate 105. An air buffer cylinder 107 is provided on the outer end face of the support plate 1052. The pressure range is input to the pressure sensor 1072 at the control system end. The maximum and minimum pressure limit values of the air buffer cylinder 107 can be controlled by the control end. When the workpiece vibrates, the air buffer cylinder 107 can provide a certain degree of buffering through the pressure range to avoid damage to the frame or the workpiece surface.
[0026] Example 3 The front and rear ends of the center frame body 1 are provided with support boxes 108. The outer end face of the support box 108 is provided with a cylinder 1081. The support box 108 is provided with a moving brake block 1082. The brake block 1082 is located on both sides of the transmission shaft 104. The cylinder 1081 controls the connection of the brake block 1082. The inner end face of the brake block 1082 is curved. After the center frame completes the workpiece clamping, the cylinder 1081 works to clamp the transmission shaft 104 through the brake block 1082 to achieve stable restriction. The brake block 1082 is made of high friction rubber material.
