Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of CNC machine tool technology, and in particular to a ceramic tool assembly for an automatic tool changer CNC machine tool. Background Technology
[0002] In high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace, semiconductors, electronic devices, and precision molds, ceramic cutting tools made of zirconia, silicon nitride, and alumina have become core tools for precision machining of hard and brittle materials due to their excellent properties of high hardness, high wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and low coefficient of friction. The machining accuracy and service life of ceramic cutting tools directly determine the workpiece machining quality and production efficiency, while the clamping stability, threaded connection reliability, and surface integrity of the tapered part are key prerequisites for ensuring their performance. Currently, ceramic cutting tools are widely used in automatic tool changer CNC machine tools. Their tool holders mostly adopt a spring collet structure, which uses a locking nut to engage with the external thread of the tool holder, compressing the spring collet to radially contract and thus fixing the tool. This structure has the advantages of uniform clamping force, small radial runout, and convenient tool changing, and is suitable for the high hardness and brittleness of ceramic cutting tools, effectively avoiding problems such as tool chipping and vibration caused by improper clamping. However, in the long-term process of large-scale processing, the maintenance and inspection of ceramic cutting tool holders still rely on manual operation, which has many technical defects such as low efficiency, uneven maintenance quality, and insufficient inspection accuracy. This seriously restricts the service life and processing stability of ceramic cutting tools and cannot meet the needs of automated and large-scale production. First, the maintenance of the threaded connection of the tool holder is cumbersome and manual, and the maintenance effect is difficult to guarantee. The locking nut of the spring collet tool holder is exposed to the external thread of the tool holder for a long time. It is easy to be contaminated with cutting fluid, ceramic powder, iron filings and other impurities, which leads to thread corrosion and seizing, thus affecting the smoothness of nut disassembly and assembly and the uniformity of clamping force. At the same time, the threaded part needs to be lubricated regularly for rust prevention and lubrication. In the current technology, the nut is disassembled, the thread is cleaned, grease is sprayed and then retightened manually. This is not only inefficient, but also has high manual maintenance costs, which is difficult to meet the centralized maintenance needs of large batches of ceramic cutting tools. Second, there is a lack of efficient and accurate automated means for crack detection of the taper part of the ceramic cutting tool holder. As a core component that mates with the machine tool spindle, the surface integrity of the taper of the tool holder directly affects positioning accuracy and clamping stability. Defects such as cracks, chipping, and scratches in the taper can increase the clearance between the spindle and the tool holder, causing vibration, which in turn can lead to chipping of the ceramic tool, deviations in workpiece machining accuracy, and even machine tool malfunction. Therefore, this invention proposes an integrated tool assembly that enables centralized storage of ceramic tools, automatic nut assembly and disassembly, automatic thread lubrication, and automatic detection of taper cracks, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies.

The spray nozzle 50 is connected to the transmission box 49 through a transmission pipe.
[0033] The working principle is as follows: Support bearings 9 are evenly arranged in a ring on the mounting platform 1. The rated static load of the support bearings 9 is 2.3kN, which is adapted to the support and rotation requirements of the tool assembly positioning part 804. During automatic tool changing, the robotic arm clamps the positioning part 804 area on the tool assembly 8, which can automatically change the tool. The robotic arm is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The tool assembly 8 is installed on the support bearings 9. The mounting cone 802 on the tool assembly 8 passes through the support bearings 9 and extends into the interior of the mounting platform 1. The end of the mounting cone 802 is clamped and limited by two clamping parts 16. The clamping action of the clamping parts 16 can be controlled by the control motor 17 to drive the base plate 19 to rotate, so that the slide 23 rotates, the push wheel 24 moves on the inclined area on the push ring 18, and then the slide 23 rises and moves, so that the extrusion rod 25 moves. When the slide table 23 reaches the height corresponding to the push rod 11, the push wheel 24 moves in the plane area on the push ring 18, and the pressing rod 25 rotates at the height of the push rod 11. The pushing inclined surface on the pressing rod 25 contacts and pushes the push rod 11, so that the control slide 10 moves telescopically. Under the transmission action of the rack 13 and the transmission gear 15, the two clamping parts 16 separate from each other. When the end of the mounting cone 802 is located between the two clamping parts 16, the control slide 10 moves under the return force of the spring 12, so that the two clamping parts 16 move and close, so as to limit and clamp the end of the mounting cone 802, so that the tool assembly 8 is stably installed on the mounting table 1. The azimuth motor 5 drives the azimuth gear 6 to rotate the mounting table 1, thereby realizing the repositioning, so as to adjust the tool assembly 8 in each position.
[0034] During periodic maintenance and inspection of the tool assemblies 8, surface defect visual detectors 7 can detect surface defects, such as cracks, on the mounting cones 802 of each tool assembly 8. The surface defect visual detector 7 is a 5-megapixel industrial-grade visual detector equipped with area scanning and crack recognition algorithms, achieving a detection accuracy of ±0.005mm. It can identify micro-cracks ≥0.02mm and provides timely signal feedback, facilitating timely maintenance and replacement by operators. Specifically, when each tool assembly 8 is moved below the position visual detector 4, the position visual detector 4 visually detects the angular position information of the tool assembly 8 and feeds it back to the system. The position visual detector 4 is a 2-megapixel industrial-grade detector with a frame rate of 30fps, a detection accuracy of ±0.01mm, and equipped with a visual positioning algorithm. The lead screw 28 is driven to rotate by the lead screw motor 27. The movement causes the shifting stage 30 to adjust its height. The deflection motor 35 controls the deflection ring 36 to rotate, changing it from a vertical to a horizontal state. The radial electric cylinder 32 controls the radial position of the deflection ring 36. Then, the height of the shifting stage 30 is controlled, causing the deflection ring 36 to descend. The tool body passes through the inner side of the deflection ring 36. The position of the positioning groove on the positioning part 804 is determined by analyzing the angular position information of the tool assembly 8. The angle motor 37 drives the angle gear ring 39 to rotate, causing the angle retaining ring 40 to rotate to the same position as the positioning groove. Finally, the angle retaining ring 40 engages with the positioning groove. Then, the tool assembly 8 can be controlled to rotate as a whole. At this time, the two clamping parts 16 are controlled to release the clamping state on the end of the mounting cone 802. By continuously adjusting the angle of the tool assembly 8, the surface defect visual detector 7 can perform full-area defect detection on the upper surface of the mounting cone 802.
[0035] After defect detection is completed, the shifting motor 201 drives the shifting top plate 26 to rotate, changing the orientation of the angle component and the disassembly / assembly component, so that the disassembly / assembly component is located in the position of the tool assembly 8 to be maintained. The deflection motor 34 controls the deflection ring 41 to deflect from a vertical position to a horizontal position, and the radial electric cylinder 33 controls the radial position of the deflection ring 41, so that the fixing ring 42 is above the tool assembly 8 to be maintained. Then, the shifting table 30 is controlled to descend, so that the tool body passes through the inner side of the deflection ring 41. The angle orientation of the tool assembly 8 is adjusted in advance by the angle component, so that the positioning groove on the tool assembly 8 corresponds to the position of the fixing ring 42. The fixing ring 42 engages with the positioning groove to achieve circumferential fixation of the tool assembly 8. According to the angle position information of the tool assembly 8, the disassembly / assembly motor 46 drives the disassembly / assembly sleeve 45 to rotate, so that the angle between the disassembly / assembly sleeve 45 and the tool chuck 803 is... The tool chuck 803 is equipped with a slot, and the inner side of the disassembly sleeve 45 has a locking block that mates with the slot. The disassembly sleeve 45 mates with the tool chuck 803, and the locking block mates with the slot, so as to rotate the tool chuck 803. The axial electric cylinder 43 controls the axial mounting ring 44 to move up and down with an accuracy of ±0.01mm to adapt to the axial movement of the tool chuck 803, so that the threaded part 801 is exposed. The 0.2MPa constant pressure output pump built into the transmission box 49 delivers grease to the spray nozzle 50 through the polytetrafluoroethylene transmission pipe. The spray nozzle 50 atomizes the grease and sprays it onto the threaded part 801. The spray control electric cylinder 48 controls the height of the spray nozzle 50 within the stroke range with an accuracy of ±0.02mm to spray evenly in different areas of the threaded part 801 for maintenance purposes. Finally, the disassembly sleeve 45 is rotated in the opposite direction to tighten the tool chuck 803 again with the set torque.
[0036] It should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
