Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of numerical control machine tools, in particular to a horizontal turning and milling compound machining center. Background Art

[0002] Horizontal turning-milling machining centers generally include turning-milling units, tailstock units, spindle units, and automatic tool changing systems. However, existing horizontal turning-milling machining centers have the following defects:

[0003] 1. The movement of the tailstock sleeve is driven by hydraulic pressure, and it is difficult to control its movement accuracy through the CNC system of the machine tool. In addition, when the machine tool clamps the workpiece, the clamping force required for different workpiece weights is also different, which is prone to operator collisions, resulting in the scrapping of the workpiece and even damage to the machine tool. Moreover, when the workpiece is processed and needs to be unloaded from the machine tool, the operator is also required to control the tailstock sleeve to retract to a safe position. The low degree of automation leads to low efficiency in clamping the workpiece on the machine tool.

[0004] 2. In the prior art, dual-motor driven spindles are mainly used to achieve high torque. For precision CNC machine tools, not only high torque but also bidirectional high-precision output is required. The transmission gears of the existing dual-drive spindle units are set in the spindle box, and the gear transmission point is far away from the spindle support part. The gear transmission impact affects the running accuracy of the workpiece at the front chuck of the spindle, and the gap between the transmission gears causes low bidirectional transmission accuracy. In addition, the transmission gears are set in the spindle box. Subsequent spindle transmission improvements and upgrades require the redesign of the spindle box and the overall replacement of the spindle box, which has high transformation costs.

[0005] 3. Common tool magazines for automatic tool changing systems include disc tool magazines, chain tool magazines, and storage tool magazines. Existing storage tool magazines are mostly fan-shaped. When changing tools, the robot grabs the tools from the tool magazine to complete the automatic tool change of the machine tool; however, when loading the tools into the tool magazine, the operator must enter the tool magazine operation area and place the tools one by one into the tool positions of the tool magazine. In order to ensure the safety of the operator, the machine needs to be shut down, resulting in low machine tool efficiency; secondly, in addition to standard tools, compound machining centers also use various non-standard tools and special extra-long and extra-wide tools. The existing tool magazines cannot realize the storage and automatic replacement of non-standard tools and special extra-long and extra-wide tools, and can only be achieved through manual loading and unloading, which is labor-intensive and inefficient for workers.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. The tailstock unit sets a pressure sensor on the existing screw-driven tailstock and connects it to the CNC system of the machine tool. The CNC system of the machine tool accurately controls the telescopic position of the tailstock sleeve and automatically adjusts the required tightening force for workpieces of different weights to avoid operation collisions, resulting in scrapping of workpieces and even damage to the machine tool. In addition, an elastic part is set between the top sleeve and the pressure sensor to reduce the impact of the workpiece on the pressure sensor when it contacts the top, thereby extending the service life of the pressure sensor.

[0022] 2. The tailstock unit is connected to the machine tool CNC system by setting an angular displacement sensor on the existing screw-driven tailstock. When the workpiece is processed and needs to be unloaded from the machine tool, the machine tool CNC system automatically controls the tailstock sleeve to retract to a safe position. The degree of automation is high, which improves the efficiency of clamping workpieces on the machine tool.

[0023] 3. The top sleeve of the tailstock unit is eccentrically installed in the tailstock sleeve, and the concentricity of the top sleeve and the machine tool spindle can be adjusted through the eccentric adjustment mechanism, which improves the processing accuracy.

[0024] 4. The spindle unit sets the transmission gear in the transmission box at the rear end of the spindle box, so that the gear transmission point is close to the support part at the rear end of the spindle, reducing the impact of the gear transmission impact on the running accuracy of the workpiece at the chuck part at the front end of the spindle. The transmission gear is independently set in the transmission box at the rear end of the spindle box. Subsequent spindle transmission improvements and upgrades do not require replacement of the spindle box. Only gears with appropriate transmission ratios need to be replaced to achieve conversion between high-speed and low-torque and low-speed and high-torque. The upgrade and transformation is simple and low-cost.

[0025] 5. The spindle unit forms a full closed-loop control between the spindle transmission and the CNC machine tool by installing a circular grating on the spindle, effectively improving the machining accuracy of the CNC machine tool.

[0026] 6. The spindle unit is equipped with a braking mechanism in the transmission box. When the brake disc is clamped by the brake mechanism at low pressure, the brake disc can still rotate at a certain speed driven by the spindle. The brake disc adds a certain damping to the spindle, eliminates the vibration of the spindle, and further improves the machining accuracy of the CNC machine tool.

[0027] 7. The automatic tool changing system sets up a tool loading system and realizes the loading and changing of tools in the tool magazine through robot grabbing. The loading and changing processes do not require the horizontal turning and milling compound machining center to stop for tool loading, thereby improving the working efficiency of the horizontal turning and milling compound machining center.

[0028] 8. The automatic tool changing system realizes the storage of non-standard tools and special extra-long and extra-wide tools by adding non-standard tools and special extra-long and extra-wide tools clamping areas in the tool magazine, and realizes the automatic tool changing of non-standard tools and special extra-long and extra-wide tools of the horizontal turning and milling compound machining center, which reduces the labor intensity of workers and improves the work efficiency of the horizontal turning and milling compound machining center.

[0029] 9. The automatic tool changing system adopts a strip-type combined tool magazine, which makes it easy to expand the number of tool positions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
