Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of machine tools, in particular to a composite column device for machine tools. Background Art

[0002] The machine tool column is an important structural part of the machine tool, which plays the role of up and down movement and support of the machine tool. The most common material of the machine tool column is HT250, which has good strength, wear resistance, heat resistance, good vibration reduction, and excellent casting performance. It requires artificial aging treatment. In addition, HT200, HT300, ductile iron, and / or resin concrete are also frequently used, depending on different work requirements. At the same time, the column is an important component connecting the bed, spindle and tool magazine, and its load-bearing capacity directly affects the processing quality of the workpiece.

[0003] A Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN201833181U discloses a composite column device for a CNC machine tool, including a composite column, a top beam, and a bed. The composite column is fixedly connected to the top beam and the bed with fasteners respectively. The guide rails of the composite column are connected to the crossbeam and the column saddle. The composite column is movably connected to the crossbeam through a column crossbeam screw drive device and to the column saddle through a column saddle screw drive device; the column saddle is provided with a transverse movable guide rail and a saddle transverse screw drive device, and the saddle transverse screw drive device is movably connected to the transverse saddle; the column crossbeam screw drive device, the column saddle screw drive device, and the saddle transverse screw drive device are all connected to an electrical CNC device.

[0004] The above-mentioned prior art solution has the following defects: the above-mentioned CNC machine tool is provided with two parallel screws at the composite column to form a composite column device, which can respectively drive the crossbeam and the column saddle to move up and down, and a variety of horizontal spindle devices can be installed in the column saddle; that is, the horizontal spindle device and the composite column device of the above-mentioned machine tool are a single-sided drive structure with poor bearing capacity. After long-term use, due to the repeated impact of the spindle processing feed on the composite column device, the unilateral force of the composite column at the guide rail is aggravated, thereby causing the composite column to tilt and deform toward one side of the guide rail, which not only affects the movement stability of the spindle, but also leads to a decrease in the processing accuracy of the workpiece. Utility Model Content
