Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mechanical processing equipment, in particular to a vertical feeding mechanism of a machine tool. Background Art

[0002] CNC grinding machines are machine tools that use abrasive tools to grind the surface of workpieces. Most grinders use high-speed rotating grinding wheels for grinding, while a few use other grinding tools such as oilstones and abrasive belts and free abrasives for processing, such as honing machines, superfinishing machines, belt grinders, grinders and polishers. CNC grinding machines include CNC surface grinders, CNC centerless grinders, CNC internal and external cylindrical grinders, CNC vertical universal grinders, CNC coordinate grinders, CNC forming grinders, etc.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent (authorization announcement number: CN207915193U name: a grinding machine) Since the teeth of the two racks are on the same horizontal plane and do not mesh with each other, and the left gear and the right gear are staggered by a tooth spacing, and mesh with the two racks respectively, so that whether the servo motor controls the feed or the retracting, it can directly respond and operate. For example, when feeding, the transmission through the meshing of the left gear and the rack can directly drive the grinding head to move down. When the tool needs to be retracted, the transmission through the meshing of the right gear and the rack can directly drive the grinding head to move up, realizing gapless transmission. Compared with the existing technology, it can overcome the problem of reduced processing accuracy caused by the existence of transmission gap in the existing technology. However, the structure of the gear and the rack meshing for transmission is prone to tooth jamming, which makes the transmission unstable, the gear wears quickly, and the operation is also laborious.
