[0019] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a five-axis device based on a three-axis CNC comprises a base 1 installed on a three-axis CNC machine, a first support plate 2 and a second support plate 3 are arranged opposite to each other on the base 1, a reducer 9 is arranged between the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3, a first rotating shaft 5 and a second rotating shaft 6 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the reducer 9, a first bearing 12 and a second bearing 13 are respectively installed on the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 3, the first rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the first bearing 12, and the second rotating shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the second bearing 13, and the reducer 9 can realize the function of self-rotation through the rotational cooperation between the first rotating shaft 5 and the first bearing 12 and the rotational cooperation between the second rotating shaft 6 and the second bearing 13;

[0021] A three-jaw chuck 11 is installed at the output end of the reducer 9, and a fixture 4 is installed on the three-jaw chuck 11. A servo motor 10 is connected to the input end of the reducer 9. The servo motor 10 drives the three-jaw chuck 11 to rotate through the reducer 9, thereby driving the fixture 4 to rotate; the end of the first rotating shaft 5 away from the reducer 9 passes through the first supporting plate 2 and is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 7, and the rotating plate 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 8. A cylinder 14 is installed on the first supporting plate 2, and a push plate 15 is installed at the output end of the cylinder 14. The connecting shaft 8 is a cylindrical structure. The push plate 15 is provided with a long groove 16 that slides with the connecting shaft 8. The push plate 15 is pushed by the cylinder 14. When the push plate 15 performs linear motion, the long slot 16 will push the connecting shaft 8 to rotate in the long slot 16 and move along the length direction of the long slot 16, so that the connecting shaft 8 can realize arc motion. The connecting shaft 8 drives the first rotating shaft 5 to rotate through the rotating plate 7, and then drives the reducer 9 to perform tilting motion; the workbench of the three-axis CNC machine is equipped with a linear motor 17, and the base 1 is installed on the mover of the linear motor 17. Before processing, the position of the base 1 is adjusted by the linear motor 17 according to the shape and size of the product clamped by the clamp 4 to avoid the product from colliding with the protective cover of the three-axis CNC machine during the production and processing process.

[0022] Working principle:

[0023] like Figure 1-3As shown, before the five-axis device is used, the product to be processed is first clamped and fixed by the fixture 4, and then the position of the base 1 is adjusted by the linear motor 17 according to the shape and size of the product clamped by the fixture 4. After the position adjustment is completed, the five-axis device is started, and the servo motor 10 drives the three-jaw chuck 11 to rotate through the reducer 9, thereby driving the fixture 4 to rotate, and pushes the push plate 15 to perform linear motion through the cylinder 14. The long groove 16 will push the connecting shaft 8 to rotate in the long groove 16 and move along the length direction of the long groove 16, so that the connecting shaft 8 can realize arc motion. The connecting shaft 8 drives the first rotating shaft 5 to rotate through the rotating plate 7, and then drives the reducer 9 to tilt. The above is combined with the three-axis CNC machine to make linear movements in the three axes of X, Y, and Z, and realizes the function of the five-axis CNC machine, which can complete the processing tasks of spatial curves and curved surfaces without the need to purchase an expensive five-axis CNC machine. The structure of this five-axis device is novel, and the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost are low, which greatly reduces the production cost.
