Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of machine tool components, in particular to an adjustment component for the tightening force of a power tailstock. Background Art

[0002] The tailstock is one of the important parts of machine tools, and it plays an important role in machine tool processing. The tailstock is often used to assist in the processing of shaft parts with large axial dimensions. If the axial dimensions of the parts are too large, the shaft parts will have radial runout due to the existence of large radial cutting forces, and cannot be processed.

[0003] When machining parts on a machine tool, in order to improve the reliability of the clamping of the parts, one end of the machined part is often clamped by the spindle box chuck, and the other end is supported by the tailstock top. Due to the different sizes of parts, the required clamping force is also different. Improper use of the clamping force may deform the workpiece and cause the parts to be scrapped. If the clamping mechanism is installed too high on the power tailstock, the overall rigidity of the power tailstock will decrease, which is not conducive to machining parts with high hardness.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner ring of the plane bearing is fixed to the supporting end of the adjusting screw, and the outer ring of the plane bearing is rotatably connected to the spring.

[0008] Furthermore, the spring is sleeved on the supporting end of the adjusting screw rod to avoid the spring from falling off when adjusting the spring preload.

[0009] Furthermore, a long axis parallel to the tailstock guide rail is provided at the side end of the base, a sensing block is provided on the long axis, and a sensor is provided on the power tailstock, and the sensor is used to identify the sensing block. According to the elongated length of the workpiece, the position of the sensing block on the long axis is adjusted, and the screw rod rotates to drive the power tailstock to move toward the workpiece. When the sensor recognizes the sensing block, the screw rod stops rotating, so that the power tailstock can tighten the workpiece.

[0010] Furthermore, the major axis is provided with scales.

[0011] Furthermore, the nut seat is slidably connected to the power tail frame through a sliding mechanism.

[0012] Furthermore, the sliding mechanism includes a slideway and a slider arranged in the slideway, the slideway is arranged on the power tail frame, and one end of the slider extending out of the slideway is fixed to the nut seat. Beneficial Effects

[0013] The utility model compresses or relaxes the spring by rotating the adjusting screw according to the size of the part to be processed, thereby changing the pre-tightening force of the spring, thereby realizing the change of the tightening force of the power tailstock, which is helpful for tightening parts of different sizes and improving the accuracy of the overall machine tool.

[0014] The utility model arranges the tightening component at the bottom of the tailstock of the machine tool, so that the rigidity of the power tailstock is improved, and when processing a workpiece with high hardness, the power tailstock will not be deformed, which is beneficial to improving the processing accuracy and stability.

[0015] The utility model adopts a spring with great elastic force. By adding a plane bearing, the inner ring of the plane bearing is fixed to the elongated section of the adjusting screw, and the outer ring of the plane bearing is in contact with the spring, so as to reduce the friction force when the adjusting screw is rotated, and prevent the spring from twisting and failing due to excessive friction force.

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-2 The utility model provides an adjustment component for the tightening force of a power tailstock, which is applied to a power tailstock 11. The power tailstock 11 is slidably arranged on a base 15 through a tailstock guide rail 8, and includes an adjusting screw 1, a fixing bracket 13, a spring 4 and a nut seat 6. The fixing bracket 13 is arranged at the bottom of the power tailstock 11, and the nut seat 6 is arranged opposite to the fixing bracket 13. The nut seat 6 is slidably connected to the power tailstock 11. The adjusting screw 1 includes a threaded section and a supporting end close to the nut seat 6. The fixing bracket 13 is provided with a threaded hole. The adjusting screw 1 is threadedly connected to the fixing bracket 13. The spring 4 is arranged between the fixing bracket 13 and the nut seat 6. A plane bearing 3 is provided between the supporting end of the adjusting screw 1 and the spring 4. A screw rod 2 is also provided in the base 15. A nut 7 is provided on the nut seat 6, and the nut 7 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 2.

[0022] The inner ring of the plane bearing 3 is fixed to the supporting end of the adjusting screw 1, and the outer ring of the plane bearing 3 is rotatably connected to the spring 4;

[0023] In actual application, since the force of the spring 4 is very large, the outer ring of the plane bearing 3 contacts the spring, reducing the friction when the adjusting screw 1 is rotated, and preventing the spring 4 from twisting and failing due to excessive friction.

[0024] The side end of the base 15 is provided with a long axis 12 parallel to the tail frame guide rail 8, the long axis 12 is provided with a sensing block 10, and the power tail frame 11 is provided with a sensor 9, and the sensor 9 is used to identify the sensing block 10;

[0025] In actual application, according to the size of the workpiece to be processed, the sensing block 10 is moved to the corresponding position on the long axis 12 with scale, and then the sensing block 10 is fixed. The screw rod 2 drives the nut seat 6 and the power tail stock 11 to move toward the workpiece to be processed. When the sensor 9 recognizes the sensing block 10, the screw rod 2 stops moving. At this time, the power tail stock 11 will tighten the workpiece to be processed, thereby ensuring that the tightening force matches the size of the workpiece.

[0026] refer to Figure 3 The nut seat is slidably connected to the power tail frame through a sliding mechanism. The sliding mechanism 140 includes a slide 141 and a plurality of fixed blocks 142 arranged in the slide 141. The slide 141 is arranged at the bottom of the power tail frame 11. The bottom of the fixed block 142 extends out of the slide 141 and is fixed to the nut seat 6, so that the power tail frame 11 moves independently relative to the nut seat 6.

[0027] The spring 4 is sleeved on the supporting end of the adjusting screw 1. At the same time, a guide rod 5 is provided at one end of the nut seat 6 connected to the spring 4. The spring 4 is sleeved on the guide rod 5. In actual use, the spring 4 is prevented from falling off.

[0028] Working principle: The utility model compresses or relaxes the spring 2 by rotating the adjusting screw 1 according to the size of the part to be processed, changes the preload force of the spring 2, and then changes the tightening force of the power tailstock 11, which is helpful for tightening parts of different sizes and improving the overall machine tool accuracy. At the same time, by setting the tightening component at the bottom of the machine tool tailstock 11, the rigidity of the power tailstock 11 is improved, and when processing workpieces with high hardness, the power tailstock 11 will not be deformed, which is conducive to improving the processing accuracy and stability.
