Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lathe tool rests, in particular to a precision fine-tuning tool rest for an ultra-precision lathe. Background Art

[0002] In ultra-precision lathes, accurate tool alignment generally requires micron-level or even sub-micron-level displacement adjustment, which places high demands on the tool rest. Rapid, minute, and precise tool adjustment is an important criterion for measuring the tool rest's adjustment capability. In early technologies, tool alignment was generally adjusted by differential bolts, such as a precision fine-tuning tool rest for ultra-precision lathes mentioned in the disclosed technology, which includes a base, a slider fixed on the base, a differential bolt disposed on the base for adjusting the vertical height of the slider, and an auxiliary spring disposed at the bottom of the base for supporting the slider. The differential bolts provided in this technology can realize the adjustment of the upper and lower positions of the tool, but the adjustment amount is difficult to control and fine-tuning is impossible. For this reason, there is an improved technology on the market that proposes a micron-level adjustment tool holder for ultra-precision lathes, including a tool holder main body, wherein the part of the tool holder main body used for fixing and installing the tool holder is an elastic structure; a mounting hole is provided at the lower end of the tool holder main body, and a fine-tuning structure is provided in the mounting hole, and the fine-tuning structure is in contact with the elastic structure; this improved technology lifts the elastic structure through the fine-tuning structure to realize the linear fine-tuning of the tool holder up and down, but the tool holder main body in this improved technology is processed into a partially separated state by wire cutting, and the displacement of the tool holder is caused only by the axial displacement and extrusion of its built-in wedge iron. During processing, the tool holder part still has an upward displacement, which is equivalent to being in an unfixed state. During processing, the tool vibration is inevitable, resulting in failure to meet the requirements of ultra-precision processing. For this reason, it is necessary to further improve and optimize the tool holder structure for ultra-precision lathes to realize the function of precision fine-tuning. Utility Model Content

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, in order to facilitate the upward and downward movement of the fixing frame 6 and the processing tool on the fixing frame 6 to adjust the height, the upper and lower sides of the base 1 are respectively fixedly connected with the upper connecting seat 3 and the lower connecting seat 2, and the upper and lower sides of the upper connecting seat 3 and the lower connecting seat 2 are provided with a sink groove, and the upper wall of the upper connecting seat 3 and the lower wall of the lower connecting seat 2 are fixedly connected with a cover plate 4, and the second rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected between the upper connecting seat 3 and the lower connecting seat 2, and the upper and lower ends of the second rotating rod 13 are respectively extended into the two sink grooves, and a section of the outer wall of the second rotating rod 13 between the two sink grooves is threadedly connected with a slider 18, and the inner wall of the base 1 is provided with a second sliding cavity 21 that passes through from top to bottom, and the slider 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second sliding cavity 21, and the front wall of the base 1 is provided with a first sliding cavity 5 that passes through the second sliding cavity 21, and the fixing frame 6 is fixedly connected to the slider 1 8 front wall and the outer wall of the fixing frame 6 are slidably connected with the inner wall of the first sliding cavity 5, and the outer wall of the second rotating rod 13 between the two sink grooves is provided with an external thread 17, the external thread 17 is a trapezoidal thread, and the pitch of the external thread 17 is 1.5 mm.

Through the cooperation of the external thread 17 with the internal thread of the inner wall of the slider 18, when the second rotating rod 13 rotates, the slider 18 can be driven to move along the axial direction of the second rotating rod 13, and then the fixing frame 6 can be driven to move upward or downward. The spring 19 can always squeeze the slider 18 downward to offset the matching gap between the external thread 17 and the internal thread on the slider 18, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy;

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in order to drive the first rotating rod 10 to rotate, the first rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected between the inner left wall and the inner right wall of the upper connecting seat 3, and an adjustment structure for driving the first rotating rod 10 to rotate is provided between the first rotating rod 10 and the outer wall of the upper connecting seat 3. The adjustment structure includes a fixed disk 8 and a knob 9. The fixed disk 8 is fixedly connected to the right wall of the upper connecting seat 3. The right end of the first rotating rod 10 sequentially penetrates the side wall of the upper connecting seat 3 and the inner wall of the fixed disk 8 and extends to the right side of the fixed disk 8. The knob 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the first rotating rod 10 extending to the fixed disk 8.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in order to maintain the stability of the first rotating rod 10 during non-human action, a damping structure for stabilizing the radial position of the first rotating rod 10 is provided between the inner side wall of the sink groove of the upper connecting seat 3 and the first rotating rod 10. The damping structure includes a knurling 15 and a flexible tensioning ring 16.

The flexible tensioning ring 16 is a rubber ring, and its inner side wall is interference fit with the knurling 15 portion of the outer wall of the first rotating rod 10. The rotation damping is generated by the tension of the flexible tensioning ring 16. When the knob 9 is rotated non-humanly, the first rotating rod 10 will not rotate.

[0032] A braking structure for locking the second rotating rod 13 is provided between the second rotating rod 13 and the lower connecting seat 2. The braking structure is a magnetic powder brake 20. The magnetic powder brake 20 is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the inner side of the sink groove of the lower connecting seat 2. One end of the second rotating rod 13 extending into the sink groove of the lower connecting seat 2 is connected to the magnetic powder brake 20. After the height adjustment is completed, the magnetic powder brake 20 is energized to generate magnetism, and the magnetic powder inside it is solidified, so that the second rotating rod 13 is held tightly to avoid displacement after the adjustment is completed, and at the same time, the height position of the machining tool is kept unchanged during machining;

[0033] Working principle: The side wall of the fixing frame 6 is provided with a tool groove 7, and the processing tool is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tool groove 7 by a screw. When the knob 9 is rotated, the first rotating rod 10 can be driven to rotate. Through the one hundred equidistantly distributed scale lines, the number of rotations of the first rotating rod 10 can be easily controlled. When the knob 9 is rotated, the first rotating rod 10 drives the worm 12 to rotate, and the worm 12 can drive the worm wheel 14 and the second rotating rod 13 to rotate by meshing with the worm wheel 14. When the second rotating rod 13 rotates, it can drive the slider 18 to move along the axial direction of the second rotating rod 13, thereby driving the fixing frame 6 to move upward or downward. The spring 19 can always squeeze the slider 18 downward to offset the matching clearance between the external thread 17 and the internal thread on the slider 18, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy. The rotation damping is generated by the tightening of the flexible tensioning ring 16. When the knob 9 is rotated non-artificially, the first rotating rod 1 0 will not rotate. After the height adjustment is completed, the magnetic powder brake 20 is energized to generate magnetism, and the internal magnetic powder is solidified to hold the second rotating rod 13 tightly to avoid displacement after the adjustment is completed. At the same time, the height position of the processing tool is kept unchanged during processing. The pitch of the external thread 17 is 1.5 mm, and there are 100 scale lines on the knob 9. When the worm 12 rotates one circle, the worm wheel 14 rotates one thirtieth circle. When the knob 9 rotates one circle, the worm 12 rotates one circle. At this time, the worm wheel 14 drives the second rotating rod 13 to rotate one thirtieth circle. According to the pitch of the external thread 17, it can be calculated that the distance of the axial displacement of the slider 18 along the second rotating rod 13 is 1.5 / 30=0.05mm, and when the knob 9 rotates one scale line, that is, one grid, the distance of the axial displacement of the slider 18 along the second rotating rod 13 is 0.05 / 100=0.0005mm, that is, 0.5μm, to achieve the effect of precise fine-tuning.
