[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, mobile structure one, mobile structure two and mobile structure three all include a ball screw nut structure and a driving motor that drives the ball screw to rotate. The driving motor is a prior art and will not be described here. The ball screw is movably connected to the column 11, the base 1 or the workbench 9, and the driving motor is fixedly connected to the column 11, the base 1 or the workbench 9.

The cradle structure, the workbench 9 or the automatic tool changing structure are fixedly connected to the ball nut. When the driving motor is working, it can drive the ball screw fixedly connected to it to rotate. The rotation of the ball screw makes the ball nut threadedly connected to it move in the direction of the ball screw. When the ball nut moves, it can drive the cradle structure, the workbench 9 or the automatic tool changing structure fixedly connected to it to move, so that the position of the cradle structure, the workbench 9 and the automatic tool changing structure can be changed.

[0025] The top of the column 11 is connected to the processing spindle 18 through the lifting and rotating structure 20.

Except for the bottom surface, the other five surfaces of the workpiece fixed on the workbench can be processed by the vertical column.

[0032] The rotary fixture 14 and the swivel fixture 15 both adopt the most traditional two-pin-one-face positioning method, which has a small positioning error and can fully guarantee the accuracy of the product during the processing and prevent the product from being scratched due to the positioning of the fixture. In addition, the pin is made of NAK80 hard material, which reduces the decrease in positioning accuracy caused by the deformation of the positioning pin during use.

[0033] The front of the housing 2 is provided with a safety door 3 and an operation panel 4, observation windows 5 are provided on both sides of the housing 2, an inspection window is provided on the back of the housing 2, a dust removal structure 12 is provided on the top of the housing 2, and an alarm 6 is fixed to the outer surface of the housing 2.

The present application uses an automatic oil supply pump and a throttling distributor to distribute the lubricating oil to each lubrication point, and the automatic oil supply pump and the throttling distributor are both provided with filters, thereby ensuring the quality of the lubricating oil at each lubrication point and the smooth flow of the pipeline.

[0035] The cooling system includes a spindle cooling system, a spray cooling system and an electric box air conditioner. The spindle cooling system cools the spindle through an oil cooler. The spindle cooling system mainly cools the spindle through an oil cooler to extend the life of the spindle. The oil temperature can be normally adjusted to the range of 26°-30°. The spray cooling system adopts a spray cooling method to spray the cutting fluid onto the tool after atomization. The spray cooling system includes a cooling water tank 8, a cooling water pump, a filter box 7 and an atomizing nozzle. The cooling water tank 8, the cooling water pump and the atomizing nozzle are connected by a pipeline, and an oil filter is provided at the liquid inlet end of the cooling water pump.

The specific connection and control sequence are described below. The electrical connection is completed in a sequential working order, and the detailed connection means are well known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and no further explanation of the electrical control is given.

[0038] To sum up: when the five-axis machining center is in use, the workpiece is fixed on the rotary fixture 15, the workpiece can be driven to rotate by the rotary motor 21, and the workpiece can be driven to rotate by the rotating motor 10. The coordinated use of the rotary motor 21 and the rotating motor 10 allows the workpiece to rotate 360 ​​degrees, so that the five surfaces of the workpiece fixed on the workbench except the bottom surface can be processed by the machining spindle 18. During the machining of the workpiece, the automatic tool changing structure under the action of the moving structure three shortens the distance between the machining spindle 18 and the cutter disc without affecting the machining of the workpiece, and the rotation of the cutter disc can change the position of the tool, so that the machining spindle 18 can quickly replace the tool, thereby improving the tool changing speed and workpiece machining efficiency.
