DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 4 In an embodiment of the utility model, a lathe positioning follower tool rest comprises a transverse feed mechanism 1 and a longitudinal feed mechanism 2. There are two longitudinal feed mechanisms 2, which are symmetrically installed on the transverse feed mechanism 1. A tool rest and a positioning follower tool assembly are respectively arranged on the two longitudinal feed mechanisms 2. Two longitudinal feed mechanisms 2 are installed on the transverse feed mechanism 1, which are respectively used to assemble the tool rest and the positioning follower tool assembly. The driving method of the longitudinal feed mechanism 2 is the existing technology. The method of driving the longitudinal feed mechanism 2 of a CNC lathe can be used to drive the two longitudinal feed mechanisms 2 to move. The feeding distances of the two longitudinal feed mechanisms 2 should be the same, that is, the coordinate directions are different. The positioning follower tool assembly should also be aligned before operation.

[0023] As a further solution of the utility model: the positioning and following tool assembly includes a sleeve 3, a core shaft 11 installed and sliding in the sleeve 3, a rotatable spherical roller bearing 8 is installed at one end of the core shaft 11 close to the tool holder, a feed nut 4 is installed at the tail of the sleeve 3, and a feed screw 10 threadedly connected to the feed nut 4 is rotatably installed on the core shaft 11. In order to maintain the coaxiality of the shaft workpiece during the rotation process, the tail stock of the machine tool will participate in the coaxiality positioning of the shaft workpiece. At this time, the spherical roller bearing 8 is fed and the feed screw 10 is rotated to manually adjust the coaxiality of the shaft workpiece, which can play the role of conventional coaxiality positioning of the workpiece, provide convenience, and the process of determining the basic coordinates of the tool can be completed at the same time.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the core shaft 11 slides linearly toward or away from the tool holder under the drive of the feed screw 10. The core shaft 11 and the cutting tool installed on the tool holder are on the same axis. During the feeding process, the cutting tool will exert a certain force on the surface of the workpiece, causing the workpiece to deform. For this reason, a force in the opposite direction is applied to the opposite surface of the workpiece to support the workpiece and prevent the workpiece from deforming when subjected to force, thereby meeting the processing requirements of shaft workpieces.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the two sides of the core shaft 11 are slidably installed with the sleeve 3 through a sliding connection 12, and the core shaft 11 slides in the sleeve 3 along the trajectory of the sliding connection 12. The sliding connection 12 can be a slide groove and a slider located in the slide groove for positioning, or it can be a slide rail structure, which plays a role in preventing the core shaft 11 from rotating and limiting the moving trajectory of the core shaft 11.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, a positioning groove 13 is provided on the core shaft 11, and a positioning bolt 9 extending into the positioning groove 13 is threadedly installed on the sleeve 3. The positioning bolt 9 is screwed down to limit the core shaft 11 in the sleeve 3. After completing the tool setting and coaxiality calibration positioning, the core shaft 11 is fixed in the sleeve 3 by rotating the positioning bolt 9 to enhance the fixing effect and prevent the workpiece from vibrating during the turning process and causing the core shaft 11 to move.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, a hand wheel 5 is installed at the tail end of the feed screw 10, and the feed screw 10 is adjusted by rotating the hand wheel 5. The hand wheel 5 is a conventional manual drive method and is the main tool for the feed screw 10 during manual adjustment.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the core shaft 11 is installed with the spherical roller bearing 8 through the quick-change bracket 6, the quick-change bracket 6 is detachably installed with the core shaft 11 through bolts, the shaft 7 is installed on the quick-change bracket 6, and the shaft 7 is installed with the spherical roller bearing 8 through the bearing.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the bracket 6 is a single-arm bracket, which installs a spherical roller bearing 8 on the same axis as the tool on the tool holder through an axle 7 and a bearing. The single-arm bracket installs the spherical roller bearing 8 on the same axis as the tool. The spherical roller bearing 8 installed by the single-arm bracket limits the deformation of the shaft workpiece during turning, and the feeding of the spherical roller bearing 8 can be the existing technical method of controlled drive feeding of CNC machine tools.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the bracket 6 is a double-arm bracket, which is Y-shaped and has two end heads for mounting spherical roller bearings 8. The two end heads are respectively mounted with spherical roller bearings 8 through the shaft 7 and the bearing. The two spherical roller bearings 8 are distributed up and down, and the midpoint between the two spherical roller bearings 8 is on the same axis as the tool on the tool holder. The spherical roller bearings 8 contact the shaft workpiece at a point or a line. Therefore, when the turning feed amount is large, it is easy to cause the workpiece to move upward or downward. For this reason, the single-arm bracket is replaced with a double-arm bracket, so that it can limit the deformation resistance of the workpiece from the upper and lower angles, and better position the shaft workpiece.

[0031] It should be noted that the above embodiments all belong to the same utility model concept, and the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For matters that are not described in detail in some embodiments, reference can be made to the description in other embodiments.

[0032] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
