In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0035] The first aspect of the utility model provides a turning tool adjustment structure, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, it includes an X-axis adjustment unit, a Y-axis adjustment unit and a Z-axis adjustment unit. The adjustment surfaces of the X-axis adjustment unit and the Y-axis adjustment unit are on the same horizontal plane and their directions are perpendicular to each other; the adjustment surface of the Z-axis adjustment unit is perpendicular to the adjustment surfaces of the X-axis adjustment unit and the Y-axis adjustment unit, and the three realize adjustment in three directions.

[0036] The X-direction adjustment unit includes a support 11, a first slide plate 12 placed on the support, a first bolt 13 and a first spring 14; the first bolt 13 is connected to the support 11 and the first slide plate 12 at the same time, and the first spring is placed between the support 11 and the first slide plate 12. With the above structure, the first slide plate can be driven by adjusting the first bolt to achieve X-direction adjustment. The first spring is placed between the support and the first slide plate, and the spring's force on the two is used to eliminate the gap caused by the thread and achieve precise adjustment.

[0037] The Y-axis adjustment unit includes a second slide plate 21, a second bolt 22 and a second spring 23 placed on the first slide plate 12; the second bolt 22 is connected to the first slide plate 12 and the second slide plate 21 at the same time, and the second spring is placed between the first slide plate and the second slide plate, and the second bolt is perpendicular to the first bolt. With the above structure, the second slide plate can be driven by adjusting the second bolt to achieve Y-axis adjustment. The second spring is placed between the first slide plate 12 and the second slide plate 21, and the spring's force on the two is used to eliminate the gap caused by the thread, so as to achieve precise adjustment.

[0038] The Z-direction adjustment unit includes a turning tool 31, a third bolt 32 and a third spring 33. The third bolt 32 is connected to both the second slide 21 and the turning tool 31 and the third spring 33 is placed between the second slide 21 and the turning tool 31. The third bolt is perpendicular to both the first bolt and the second bolt. With the above structure, the turning tool 31 can be driven by adjusting the second bolt to achieve Z-direction adjustment. The third spring is placed between the second slide 21 and the turning tool 31. The spring acts on both to eliminate the gap caused by the thread and achieve precise adjustment.

[0039] The above structure can not only realize the precision micro-adjustment of the turning tool in multiple directions, but also adopts bolts for adjustment, and has high adjustment precision.

[0040] In order to improve the stability of the adjustment during fine adjustment, on the basis of the above structure, a guide structure can be provided on the support, the first slide plate and the second slide plate. Specifically, the guide structure can be implemented in a variety of ways, such as using a guide rail or a guide groove structure.

[0041] When the support is provided with a guide rail, the first slide plate is placed on the guide rail, the guide rail realizes the movement and guidance of the first slide plate, and the guide rail is arranged parallel to the first bolt. The guide rail structure can adopt the existing conventional guide rail structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0042] When the guide groove is provided on the support, the first slide plate is placed in the guide groove. Figure 1 The second slide plate 21 and the first slide plate 12 are arranged.

[0043] The above structure can not only realize guiding, but also realize limiting, so as to prevent the first slide plate, the second slide plate and the turning tool from rotating when the bolt is fine-tuned.

[0044] The guide structure between the first slide plate and the second slide plate, and between the second slide plate and the turning tool refers to the structure between the support and the first slide plate, and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Adding a pressure spring between the fixed part and the movable part to apply preload can eliminate the reverse clearance during fine-tuning and improve the fine-tuning accuracy. The two ends of the spring can be directly fixedly connected between the support and the first slide, between the first slide and the second slide, or between the second slide and the turning tool. For easy installation, a sleeve installation method can also be adopted, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the first spring is sleeved outside the first bolt; the second spring is sleeved outside the second bolt; and the third spring is sleeved outside the third bolt.

[0046] In order to further improve the precision of fine adjustment, the pitch of the connection end between the first bolt and the support is greater than the pitch of the connection end between the first bolt and the first slide; and / or, the pitch of the connection end between the second bolt and the first slide is greater than the pitch of the connection end between the second bolt and the second slide; and / or, the pitch of the connection end between the third bolt and the second slide is greater than the pitch of the connection end between the third bolt and the turning tool. The thread direction of the connection end between the first bolt and the support is the same as the thread direction of the connection end between the first bolt and the first slide, the thread direction of the connection end between the second bolt and the first slide is the same as the thread direction of the connection end between the second bolt and the second slide, and the thread direction of the connection end between the third bolt and the second slide is the same as the thread direction of the connection end between the third bolt and the turning tool.

[0047] Exemplary:

[0048] For the first bolt, the thread of the connection end with the first slide is M6×0.5, and the thread of the connection end with the support is M6×0.75. When the first bolt rotates clockwise for one circle, the screw moves 0.75mm to the right relative to the support; at this time, since the first slide cannot rotate, it can only move 0.5mm to the left with relative displacement, so the first slide moves 0.75-0.5=0.25mm to the left relative to the support. When the first bolt rotates counterclockwise for one circle, the first slide moves 0.25mm to the right relative to the support.

[0049] The structures of the second bolt and the third bolt are the same as that of the first bolt.

[0050] In this regard, the above structure can achieve fine adjustment of the turning tool in the three directions of X, Y and Z, and the fine adjustment accuracy is 0.25 / 360=0.0007mm / degree. Compared with the tool setting accuracy of the handwheel-operated servo axis, the accuracy has been improved from the original 0.005mm to 0.0005mm, which is 10 times higher than the tool setting accuracy, thus improving the part processing accuracy.

[0051] The second aspect of the utility model discloses a lathe, comprising a rotary worktable, a turning tool adjustment structure described in the first aspect and any possible design thereof, and a driving motor for driving the support.

[0052] The drive motor and the rotary table can be set up using existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The drive motor realizes the adjustment and control of the turning tool position, and the turning tool adjustment structure further realizes manual fine adjustment of the position, so that the tool tip coincides with the center of the rotary table, meeting the processing requirements.

[0053] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
