Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of turntable brakes, in particular to a turntable brake structure capable of tightly holding a rotating shaft. Background Art

[0002] When CNC machine tools process parts with complex spatial surfaces, multi-axis linkage machine tools are used. The workpieces of multi-axis linkage machine tools are generally clamped on a workbench or turntable for cutting. Usually, the machine tool first positions the turntable at the required position through the control system and the detection system, and then the turntable brake structure locks the rotating shaft on the turntable. Due to its actual use needs, the turntable usually has a built-in mechanical brake structure, which is mainly realized in the form of brake pads, that is, a thin brake pad with a thickness of 1-2mm is installed on the rotating shaft system. When braking is required, the piston is pushed to the outside of the brake pad through a cylinder or an oil cylinder, causing the brake pad to deform and completely adhere to the axially arranged static surface, thereby generating sufficient friction to resist the load of the shaft system.

[0003] The existing Chinese utility model patent with reference announcement number CN219925340U discloses a turntable brake structure, including a brake cylinder caliper body, a brake disc and a brake support body, wherein the brake support body is located below the brake cylinder caliper body, and the brake disc is located between the brake cylinder caliper body and the brake support body, wherein a first oil passage is provided inside the brake support body, and a second oil passage is provided inside the brake cylinder caliper body, wherein the first oil passage is connected to the second oil passage, and an oil chamber is provided in the inner cavity of the brake cylinder caliper body, and the bottom of the oil chamber is connected to the top of the second oil passage. The utility model relates to the technical field of turntable brakes. In the turntable brake structure, the brake cylinder caliper body presses the brake disc onto the brake support body due to hydraulic pressure, and the overall structure is simple, which reduces the cost of the overall device, can perform a good braking effect on the brake disc, and ensures the braking effect of the turntable brake, and has strong overall practicality and a wide range of applications.

[0004] The existing turntable brake structure is divided into encircling oil brake, disc air brake and clamp air brake. The encircling oil brake relies on oil pressure to make the brake encircle parts tightly, with a large braking torque and a stable and durable structure, but the processing cost is high, there is no self-locking function, it occupies a large axial space, and the turntable needs to be equipped with a hydraulic station, which is expensive. The disc brake relies on the cylinder to support the brake pad connected to the shaft to stop it from rotating. The braking force is relatively small, and the stress generated at the moment of brake switching is large, which is easy to wear and tear. The disc is easily damaged after long-term use. In addition, the encircling oil brake, disc air brake and clamp air brake all require a large axial space. Utility Model Content

[0026] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4 In this embodiment, a turntable brake structure that can hold a rotating shaft includes: a shell 1, a left air path 11 is arranged inside the left side of the shell 1, a right air path 12 is arranged inside the right side of the shell 1, an air intake pipe 13 is inserted and installed at the bottom of the shell 1, a positioning pin 14 is inserted and installed at the top of the shell 1, a deformable member 15 is inserted and installed below the positioning pin 14, a cylinder body 16 is fixedly installed inside the shell 1, an upper piston 17 is movably installed below the deformable member 15, a lower piston 18 is fixedly installed below the upper piston 17, a spring 19 is fixedly installed below the upper piston 17, and a rotating shaft 110 is movably installed inside the shell 1.

[0027] The left gas path 11 extends to the end of the cylinder body 16 and is located between the bottom of the cylinder body 16 and the lower piston 18 , and the end of the right gas path 12 is located between the top of the cylinder body 16 and the upper piston 17 .

[0028] The air intake pipe 13 is installed below the housing 1 in a left-right mirror-symmetrical manner with the center of the housing 1 as a reference, and the air intake pipe 13 is communicated with the left air path 11 and the right air path 12 .

[0029] The positioning pin 14 is installed in a ring shape at an equal angle on the upper end of the housing 1 with the center of the housing 1 as a reference, and the positioning pin 14 vertically penetrates the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the deformable member 15 .

[0030] The cross section of the deformable member 15 is in the shape of a bow. The inner side surface of the deformable member 15 contacts the outer side surface of the rotating shaft 110 , and the lower end of the deformable member 15 contacts the upper piston 17 .

[0031] The upper piston 17 is fixedly connected to the lower piston 18 by bolts. An annular groove structure engaged with the spring 19 is provided below the upper piston 17. The spring 19 is installed in an annular shape at an equal angle below the upper piston 17 with the center of the upper piston 17 as a reference. The top end of the spring 19 is engaged in the groove structure below the upper piston 17.

[0032] The upper end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to the upper piston 17 , and the lower end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the cylinder body 16 , so that the rotating shaft 110 and the housing 1 are in rotational connection.

[0033] Specifically, the shell 1 can limit the position of the rotating shaft 110 and fix the position of the deformable member 15 by the positioning pin 14. The left air path 11 can facilitate the gas to enter between the cylinder body 16 and the lower piston 18, so that the lower piston 18 moves downward. The right air path 12 can facilitate the gas to enter between the cylinder body 16 and the upper piston 17, so as to facilitate the upper piston 17 and the lower piston 18 to move upward. The intake pipe 13 can facilitate the gas to enter the left air path 11 and the right air path 12. The positioning pin 14 can prevent the deformable member 15 from rotating. The cylinder body 16 can limit the gas position. The upper piston 17 can facilitate the gas to apply pressure to the deformable member 15. The lower piston 18 can facilitate the gas to drive the upper piston 17 to move downward. The spring 19 can cause the deformable member 15 to produce initial deformation. The rotating shaft 110 can facilitate the rotation of the turntable.

[0034] When in use, the cross-section of the deformable member 15 is in the shape of a "bow", the inner side of the deformable member 15 contacts the outer side of the rotating shaft 110, the lower end of the deformable member 15 contacts the upper piston 17, and the upper end of the deformable member 15 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 through the positioning pin 14. Under the restriction of the positioning pin 14, the deformable member 15 cannot rotate, and the bottom end of the spring 19 fixed below the upper piston 17 is connected to the cylinder body 16. When the device is not subjected to external force, the vertical upward force applied by the spring 19 to the upper piston 17 causes the deformable member 15 to produce initial deformation. When the upper and lower ends of the deformable member 15 are pressurized, the inner diameter is reduced, thereby holding the rotating shaft 110 tightly to achieve a self-locking function, and the left air path 11 extends to the end of the cylinder body 16 and is located between the bottom of the cylinder body 16 and the lower piston 18, and the end of the right air path 12 is located between the top of the cylinder body 16 and the upper piston 17. When the right air path 12 is ventilated and the left air path 11 is not ventilated, the upper piston 17 and the lower piston 18 move downward as a whole, the deformable member 15 returns to its original state, the inner diameter becomes larger, the rotating shaft 110 is released, and the brake is released. When the left air path 11 is ventilated and the right air path 12 is not ventilated, the air pressure generates an upward thrust, and the upper piston 17 and the lower piston 18 move upward as a whole, and further compress the deformable member 15 on the basis of the elastic force of the spring 19. The inner diameter of the deformable member 15 becomes smaller, and the rotating shaft 110 is tightly held, and the braking torque is further increased, thereby ensuring the braking force while realizing the self-locking function. This method avoids the use of hydraulic equipment for braking, which causes the height of the hydraulic rod to affect the overall height of the device, and can make the device structure more compact. The degree of deformation of the deformable member 15 changes linearly with the change of the position of the upper piston 17, and the pressure applied by the deformable member 15 to the rotating shaft 110 changes linearly. This method can avoid the situation where the instantaneous stress is too large due to the instantaneous increase of the braking force during braking.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
