[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A machine tool structure for machining large-size gears includes a spindle box 1, a vertical slide 2, a Z-axis lead screw 3, a Z-axis bearing housing 4, a Z-axis motor and reducer 5, a rotary table 6, an X-axis motor and reducer 7, an X-axis bearing housing 8, an X-axis lead screw 9, a column 10, a workpiece 11, a bracket fixture 12, a work platform 13, a column locking cylinder 14, an X-axis rolling block 15, an X-axis pressure plate 16, a Z-axis rolling block 17, a Z-axis pressure plate 18, adjusting shims 19, and a plastic-coated sheet 20. The rotary table 6 and the work platform 13 are fixed to the foundation. The Z-axis lead screw 3 is fixed to the vertical slide 2 with screws and drives the vertical slide 2 to move vertically. The column locking cylinder 14 is fixed to the column 10 with screws. The column 10 is connected to the rotary table 13 and drives the column 10 to rotate.

[0006] The rotary worktable 6 is connected to the foundation via adjusting shims 19. By adjusting the adjusting shims 19, the flatness of the rotary worktable 6 is ensured to be less than 0.05mm. The work platform 13 is fixed to the foundation. By adjusting the adjusting shims 19, the flatness of the work platform 13 is ensured to be less than 0.05mm.

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1-3 A machine tool structure for machining large-size gears includes a spindle box 1, a vertical slide 2, a Z-axis lead screw 3, a Z-axis bearing housing 4, a Z-axis motor and reducer 5, a rotary table 6, an X-axis motor and reducer 7, an X-axis bearing housing 8, an X-axis lead screw 9, a column 10, a workpiece 11, a bracket fixture 12, a work platform 13, a column locking cylinder 14, an X-axis rolling block 15, an X-axis pressure plate 16, a Z-axis rolling block 17, a Z-axis pressure plate 18, adjusting shims 19, and a plastic-coated sheet 20. The rotary table 6 and the work platform 13 are fixed to the foundation. The Z-axis lead screw 3 is fixed to the vertical slide 2 with screws and drives the vertical slide 2 to move vertically. The column locking cylinder 14 is fixed to the column 10 with screws. The column 10 is connected to the rotary table 13 and drives the column 10 to rotate.

[0021] The rotary worktable 6 is connected to the foundation via adjusting shims 19. By adjusting the adjusting shims 19, the flatness of the rotary worktable 6 is ensured to be less than 0.05mm. The work platform 13 is fixed to the foundation. By adjusting the adjusting shims 19, the flatness of the work platform 13 is ensured to be less than 0.05mm.

[0022] The column locking mechanism includes a pressure block 25, a lever pin 21, a piston 22, a lever 23, and a hydraulic cylinder 24. The hydraulic cylinder 24 is located above the piston 22, and the lever 23 is located below the piston 22. The lever pin 21 is located on the lever 23, and the pressure block 25 is located above the lever 21. A spring is located inside the lever 23.

[0023] The four X-axis pressure plates 16 are fixed to the bottom of the column 10 with screws. Each X-axis pressure plate 16 is covered with a plastic sheet 20, and a lubricating oil groove is opened on the plastic sheet 20 to ensure that there is a gap of 0.03-0.06mm between the plastic sheet 20 and the guide rail of the rotary table 6.

[0024] Four column locking cylinders 14 are installed below the column 10. The hydraulic oil enters the cylinder 24 through the oil inlet. When the column 10 stops moving, the column locking cylinder 14 locks the column 10; conversely, when the column 10 is in motion, the column locking cylinder 14 releases the column 10.

[0025] like Figure 4 The diagram shows the external shape and working principle of the column locking cylinder. When hydraulic oil enters the cylinder 24 of the column locking cylinder 14 through the oil inlet, it pushes the piston 22 to move downward. The lever 23 rotates around the lever pin 21, and the pressure block 25 presses against the guide rail on the rotary table 6 to prevent vibration during cutting.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, the X-axis pressure plate and the column locking cylinder are installed in a specific way. The plastic sheet 20 is glued to the X-axis pressure plate 16 with special adhesive. The X-axis pressure plate 16 is fixed to the column 10 with 16 M20 screws. The column locking cylinder 14 is connected to the column 10 with 24 screws. Lubrication holes and lubrication grooves are drilled on the X-axis pressure plate 16. At the same time, a gap of 0.03-0.05mm is maintained between the plastic sheet 20 on the X-axis pressure plate 16 and the guide rail on the rotary table 6.

[0027] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the invention.
