[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of machinery and relates to a broaching mechanism, in particular to a spindle broaching mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The spindle broaching mechanism is a clamping mechanism commonly used on the spindle of a machine tool. It is mainly used to fix the workpiece or tool to keep it stable and enable fine processing under high-speed rotation.

[0003] Existing broaching mechanisms, such as a fully automatic intelligent broaching electric spindle disclosed in the China Patent Library (application number: 201320755468.2), include a casing, a stator component with a thermistor, a rotor component and a rotor shaft, and a front bearing and a rear bearing respectively arranged at both ends of the rotor shaft. The casing is provided with an air duct. The casing is a mechanism in which an inner and outer shell are assembled into one and has an internal water circulation system. A sealing cover is provided at the front end of the casing, and a cooling water inlet nozzle, a cooling water outlet nozzle, a tool changing and dust removal air nozzle, an air sealing air nozzle and a tool unloading air inlet nozzle are respectively provided at the rear end of the casing. An automatic tool changing structure is provided on the rotor shaft, a tool handle is provided at the front end of the rotor shaft, and a cylinder is provided at the rear end of the rotor shaft. An air duct is provided in the rotor shaft, and the automatic tool changing structure includes a disc spring and a proximity switch.

[0004] The electric spindle for broaching uses disc springs and cylinders to control the locking or loosening of the tool handle, and the cylinder is in indirect contact with the tool handle. This method has two problems: 1. It has high requirements for the calculation of the disc spring elastic force and is difficult to design; 2. The top pressure generated when the cylinder pushes the disc spring to compress is completely borne by the front bearing, affecting the life and working stability of the front bearing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the above problems in the prior art and proposes a spindle broach mechanism with long service life and low design difficulty.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a spindle tool pulling mechanism, including a casing and a spindle horizontally rotatably arranged in the casing and in a hollow shape, a cylinder is horizontally arranged on the rear side of the casing, the cylinder includes a cylinder body and a piston rod, and the front and rear ends of the piston rod both extend out of the cylinder body, a tool handle is arranged in the front end of the spindle and the two are matched through a conical surface, a pull rod is horizontally arranged in the rear end of the spindle, and the front end of the pull rod is connected to the tool handle through a claw mechanism, characterized in that the cylinder body is fixedly connected to the rear end of the spindle; the piston rod is hollow, and the rear end of the pull rod passes through the piston rod; a cylindrical rotating joint is sleeved on the rear end of the pull rod and is used to control the extension and retraction of the cylinder, and the rotating joint is coaxially arranged with the pull rod; the rotating joint includes a rotating cylinder sleeved and fixed on the pull rod and a fixed cylinder sleeved outside the rotating cylinder, and the rear end of the piston rod is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating cylinder.

[0008] The cylinder body is fixedly connected to the main shaft, and the rear end of the piston rod is directly connected to the pull rod by means of a rotating cylinder body, so that when working, the cylinder as a whole rotates with the main shaft to tighten the tool handle, thereby ensuring stable operation.

[0009] At the same time, the cylinder piston rod is directly connected to the pull rod through a rotating cylinder to control the extension and retraction of the pull rod. This not only omits the disc spring in the prior art, making the overall design simpler and more efficient and reducing the design difficulty, but also reduces the impact on the front end bearing of the spindle, extending the life and working stability of the bearing there, thereby improving the life of the spindle broaching mechanism.

[0010] In the above-mentioned spindle broaching mechanism, the front end of the above-mentioned rotating cylinder is screwed into the rear end of the piston rod, which has the advantages of simple structure and convenient assembly.

[0011] In the above-mentioned spindle broaching mechanism, an annular limit seat is coaxially formed on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder, and the rear end face of the piston rod is pressed against the front end face of the limit seat to prevent the rotating joint from moving forward alone, ensuring that the pull rod always tightens the tool handle during operation, ensuring stable operation of the broaching mechanism.

[0012] In the above-mentioned spindle broaching mechanism, the rotating cylinder is threadedly connected to the draw rod.

[0013] In the above-mentioned spindle broaching mechanism, the claw mechanism includes a claw and a rivet screwed into the rear end of the tool handle, and the rear end of the rivet extends out of the tool handle. The claw includes a claw portion cooperating with the rear end of the rivet and a shaft portion screwed into the front end of the pull rod.

[0014] In the above spindle broaching mechanism, the shaft and the draw rod are both hollow; an annular groove coaxially arranged with the draw rod is provided on the outer wall at the rear end of the draw rod, and a through hole is penetrated on the bottom wall of the annular groove to connect the annular groove to the inner cavity of the draw rod, and an air passage is provided on the rotary joint to connect the annular groove to the outside; the inner cavity of the spindle includes a mounting cavity for accommodating the above-mentioned claw mechanism, and the inner hole at the front end of the shaft is connected to the mounting cavity; an air hole is axially penetrated on the front end surface of the spindle to connect to the mounting cavity. When in use, air is sent into the annular groove through the air passage, and the air enters the mounting cavity through the through hole, the draw rod and the shaft, and then the air is ejected outward through the air hole, reducing the flow of cutting waste backwards and keeping the broaching mechanism clean.

[0015] In the above-mentioned spindle broaching mechanism, the outer wall of the draw rod forms a seal with the inner wall of the rotating cylinder through a sealing ring, and the above-mentioned annular groove is located between the sealing ring and the connection position between the draw rod and the rotating cylinder, ensuring that the gas entering from the airway is completely discharged into the annular groove, thereby improving the gas passing efficiency.

[0016] In the above-mentioned spindle broaching mechanism, a nut is threadedly connected to the outside of the pull rod, and the rear end face of the rotating cylinder is pressed on the front end face of the nut, which is used to adjust the piston rod position to adjust the piston rod telescopic stroke, thereby adjusting the pull rod displacement limit to better adapt to different working conditions.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the spindle broaching mechanism has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The cylinder body is fixedly connected to the main shaft, and the rear end of the piston rod is directly connected to the pull rod by using a rotating cylinder body, so that when working, the cylinder as a whole rotates with the main shaft to tighten the tool handle to ensure stable operation.

[0019] 2. The cylinder piston rod is directly connected to the pull rod through the rotating cylinder to control the extension and retraction of the pull rod. This not only omits the disc spring in the prior art, making the overall design simpler and more efficient and reducing the design difficulty, but also reduces the impact on the front end bearing of the spindle, prolongs the life of the bearing and the working stability, thereby improving the life of the spindle broaching mechanism.
