DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present application to achieve the predetermined purpose, the specific implementation methods, structures, features and effects of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "embodiment" does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments may be combined in any suitable form.

[0022] Combination Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the utility model discloses a supporting tailstock, including a mounting plate 1, a seat body 2 fixed on the mounting plate 1, a core shaft 3 rotatably connected to the seat body 2 through a bearing 4, and a turntable 5 fixed to the end of the core shaft 3, wherein the core shaft 3 drives the turntable 5 to rotate relative to the seat body 2 through the bearing 4.

[0023] For example, a support step 21 is provided on the inner side surface of the seat body 2, and the bearing 4 is sleeved on the core shaft 3 and is locked on the support step 21 by a fixing member 91 such as a screw, so as to realize the assembly of the core shaft 3 and the seat body 2.

[0024] In order to prevent debris from entering the interior of the supporting tailstock through the assembly gap between the mounting plate 1 and the seat body 2 during use: a first sealing ring 92 is provided between the mounting plate 1 and the seat body 2, and a second sealing ring 93 is provided between the end face of the core shaft 3 and the turntable 5.

[0025] The assembly end faces of the mandrel 3 and the turntable 5 need to be finely processed to reduce the surface roughness between them to avoid affecting the rotation accuracy. In order to reduce the area required for fine processing and reduce the processing cost, a first groove is provided on the end face of the mandrel 3, and a second groove is correspondingly provided on the end face of the turntable 5, and the first and second grooves together form an avoidance position 94.

[0026] In addition, a fifth sealing ring 97 is provided on the outer side of the seat body 2. When the seat body 2 is used in the five-axis cradle turntable, the seat body 2 is assembled and connected with other components of the five-axis cradle turntable. At this time, the fifth sealing ring 97 can prevent liquid or debris from entering the connection.

[0027] The supporting tailstock is used for supporting and positioning the workpiece. For this purpose, the supporting tailstock is provided with a braking structure so that the turntable 5 can be rotated and stopped as required by the braking structure.

[0028] The utility model arranges the brake structure on the outside of the rotating disk 5, which can simplify the structure of the brake structure and also facilitate the assembly and subsequent maintenance of the brake structure.

[0029] Specifically, the supporting tailstock also includes a braking structure, which specifically includes a locking sleeve 6 and a brake ring 7 fixed to the seat body 2 through the locking sleeve 6, the brake ring 7 is sleeved on the outside of the turntable 5 and includes a brake pad 73 arranged close to the outside of the turntable 5, one end of the locking sleeve 6 is in contact with the brake pad 73 through a fourth sealing ring 96, and the locking sleeve 6 has a pressure chamber 62 arranged opposite to the brake pad 73, and the pressure chamber 62 and the turntable 5 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the brake pad 73.

[0030] The fourth sealing rings 96 are respectively provided on two opposite sides of the pressure chamber 62 , and the fourth sealing rings 96 can ensure that the brake pad 73 always maintains sealed contact with the locking sleeve 6 when the rotating disk 5 is braked and swung.

[0031] When gaseous or liquid brake medium is injected into the pressure chamber 62, the pressure in the pressure chamber 62 increases, and the pressure of the pressure chamber 62 generates a thrust toward the turntable 5 on the brake pad 73, so that the brake pad 73 abuts against the turntable 5, thereby stopping the turntable 5.

[0032] The brake ring 7 includes a brake body 71 and a brake pad 73 fixedly connected to the brake body 71 through an elastic arm 72, and the brake pad 73 is arranged close to the outer side of the rotating disk 5. Preferably, the pressure chamber 62 is arranged close to the end of the brake pad 72 away from the brake body, so that the brake pad 72 can have better braking performance under the pressure of the pressure chamber 62.

[0033] When the pressure in the pressure chamber 62 increases, a thrust is generated on the brake pad 73 toward the turntable 5, and the brake pad 73 swings toward the turntable 5, thereby driving the elastic arm 72 to produce elastic deformation; when the pressure in the pressure chamber 62 decreases, the brake pad 73 is reset under the recovery elasticity of the elastic arm 72, so that the brake pad 73 is separated from the outer side of the turntable 5, allowing the turntable 5 to rotate as needed.

[0034] Among them, the brake ring 7 is fixedly connected to the locking sleeve 6 through the brake body 71, and the locking sleeve 6 is fixed on the seat body 2, so that the brake body 71, the locking sleeve 6 and the seat body 2 form an integrated assembly structure, so that the locking sleeve 6 will not be displaced relative to the brake pad 73 when the pressure in the pressure chamber 62 increases, ensuring that the pressure chamber 62 and the brake pad 73 cooperate to effectively brake the turntable 5.

[0035] A limiting step 22 is provided on the outer side surface of the seat body 2 , and two opposite ends of the locking sleeve 6 abut between the limiting step 22 and the brake pad 73 .

[0036] The supporting tailstock also includes a pressure transmission pipe connected to the pressure chamber 62, and the pressure transmission pipe includes a first pipeline 23 arranged in the seat body 2 and a second pipeline 61 arranged in the locking sleeve 6, and the second pipeline 61 is connected between the first pipeline 23 and the pressure chamber 62; the end of the first pipeline 23 has a first interface 24, and the end of the second pipeline 61 has a second interface 63.

[0037] The gaseous or liquid brake medium enters the first pipeline 23 from the first interface 24, and then flows into the second pipeline 61 and enters the pressure chamber 62, thereby increasing the pressure of the pressure chamber 62. When braking is not required, the brake medium is partially or completely discharged through the second interface 63 to reduce the pressure of the pressure chamber 62.

[0038] Two sixth sealing rings 98 are provided between the locking sleeve 6 and the seat body 2. The two sixth sealing rings 98 are located at two opposite sides of the connection between the first pipeline 23 and the second pipeline 61, so that the first pipeline 23 and the second pipeline 61 can be kept reliably sealed and connected by the two sixth sealing rings 98 to avoid leakage of the brake medium.

[0039] In addition, in order to prevent liquid or debris from entering the interior of the support tailstock, the brake ring 7 and the turntable 5 are sealed by an oil seal 8, and the oil seal 8 and the seat body 2 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the brake pad 73, so that the oil seal 8 prevents external liquid or debris from entering the gap reserved between the brake pad 73 and the turntable 5.

[0040] Furthermore, a third sealing ring 95 is also provided between the locking sleeve 6 and the seat body 2 , and the third sealing ring 95 is used to prevent liquid or debris from entering the supporting tailstock through the assembly analysis between the locking sleeve 6 and the seat body 2 .

[0041] The utility model also discloses a five-axis cradle turntable, which has the above-mentioned supporting tailstock and has the advantages of reliable operation and easy and convenient assembly and later maintenance.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
