[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figure 1-5 The example shown is an embodiment provided by the utility model.

[0033] The utility model embodiment provides a five-axis turntable for machine tools, characterized in that the five-axis turntable includes: a base plate 1, a main seat 2, a tail seat 3, a connecting seat 4 and a turntable 5; the main seat 2 and the tail seat 3 are respectively fixed at both ends of the base plate 1, and the main seat 2 is provided with a tilting axis harmonic reducer 6 and a four-axis servo motor 7 for driving the tilting axis harmonic reducer 6; one end of the connecting seat 4 is provided with a connecting disk 40 fixedly connected to the tilting axis harmonic reducer 6, and the other end of the connecting seat 4 is provided with a connecting boss 41 rotatably connected to the tail seat 3; a rotating axis harmonic reducer 8 and a five-axis servo motor 9 for driving the rotating axis harmonic reducer 8 are provided in the connecting seat 4; the turntable 5 is rotatably installed on the top end of the connecting seat 4, and the turntable 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating axis harmonic reducer 8.

[0034] Specifically, the five-axis turntable is installed on a machine tool for use, wherein the five-axis servo motor 9 and the four-axis servo motor 7 are connected to the CNC center of the machine tool through wires, and the five-axis servo motor 9 and the four-axis servo motor 7 are controlled by the CNC center to realize the tilting and swinging of the connecting seat 4 and the rotation of the turntable 5. In order to facilitate the clamping of the workpiece, a plurality of clamp connection holes 50 are provided on the turntable 5, and the plurality of clamp connection holes 50 are distributed in multiple rings inside and outside the turntable 5 to facilitate the installation of clamps of different models or sizes for clamping the workpiece for processing; in this embodiment, a through hole is opened on the main seat 2 to install the inclined axis harmonic reducer 6, so that the entire inclined axis harmonic reducer 6 is embedded in the through hole of the main seat 2, which greatly saves the space occupied by the reducer structure, thereby reducing the five-axis In order to reduce the volume of the turntable, the present embodiment further provides a plurality of through holes at the upper and lower ends of the connecting disk 40 of the connecting seat 4, for fastening bolts to penetrate therethrough and then be threadedly connected to the inclined axis harmonic reducer 6, and an O-ring is provided between the connecting disk 40 and the inclined axis harmonic reducer 6 to prevent external coolant from entering the interior and affecting the operation of various components. In addition, the internal cavity of the connecting seat 4 of the present embodiment is arranged so that the five-axis servo motor 9 and the rotating axis harmonic reducer 8 can be installed in the connecting seat 4, and there is no need to place the five-axis servo motor 9 and the rotating axis harmonic reducer 8 externally on the tailstock 3 or the main seat 2 and then use a transmission mechanism to drive the turntable 5, thereby efficiently utilizing the internal space of the connecting seat 4, so that the overall structure of the five-axis turntable is more compact and occupies a smaller area. It should also be noted that the distance from the connecting disk 40 of the connecting seat 4 to the outer wall of the connecting seat 4 with the connecting boss 41 is equal to the distance between the main seat 2 and the tail seat 3. Through the structural design of the connecting seat 4, the distance between the main seat 2 and the tail seat 3 is reduced, and then the length of the base plate 1 is shortened, thereby reducing the installation area of ​​the five-axis turntable, and can be more flexibly applied to various types of machine tools, which is more practical.

[0035] In general, the five-axis turntable realizes the freedom of the fourth axis by installing a tilting-axis harmonic reducer 6 and a four-axis servo motor 7 in the main seat 2 to drive the tilting and swinging of the connecting seat 4; the freedom of the fifth axis is realized by installing a rotating-axis harmonic reducer 8 and a five-axis servo motor 9 in the connecting seat 4 to drive the 360-degree rotation of the turntable 5; the fourth and fifth axes are both equipped with harmonic reducers, which greatly reduces the installation space occupied by the reducer of the five-axis turntable, so that the five-axis servo motor 9 and the rotating-axis harmonic reducer 8 can be installed in the connecting seat 4 for use, so that the five-axis turntable does not need other transmission mechanisms, reduces weight, and the compact five-axis turntable is more practical and has more promotion value.

[0036] In order to further reduce the weight of the five-axis turntable and improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the five-axis turntable, an avoidance hole 10 is provided in the middle of the base plate 1, and the avoidance hole 10 is arranged corresponding to the bottom end of the connecting seat 4. The bottom end of the connecting seat 4 can be placed in the avoidance hole 10, and when the connecting seat 4 rotates around the tilting axis, the bottom end of the connecting seat 4 can be rotated out of the avoidance hole 10. The avoidance hole 10 is formed by hollowing out most of the middle part of the base plate 1, so that the bottom end part of the connecting seat 4 is in the avoidance hole 10 of the base plate 1, thereby reducing the required installation height of the connecting seat 4. At the same time, the heights of the main seat 2 and the tail seat 3 are reduced. In order to allow the connecting seat 4 to tilt and swing smoothly without being interfered by the base plate 1, the upper end of the avoidance hole 10 is also chamfered in this embodiment, and the bottom end of the connecting seat 4 is an arc-shaped structure to avoid interference of the base plate 1 on the connecting seat 4.

The connecting boss 41 of the connecting seat 4 passes through the sealing rubber ring 301 and is fixedly connected to the movable ring of the support bearing 31. The connecting seat 4 is provided with a side wall of the connecting boss 41 abutting against the sealing rubber ring 301. A positioning protrusion 320 abutting against the fixing ring of the support bearing 31 is provided on the side cover plate 32. The side cover plate 32 is fixed on the tailstock 3 and covers the mounting hole 30. The sealing rubber ring 301 can prevent external coolant from entering the mounting hole 30 and soaking the support bearing 31, thereby increasing the service life of the support bearing 31. The limiting convex ring 300 and the positioning protrusion 320 on the side cover plate 32 can stably install the support bearing 31 in the tail stock 3. In this embodiment, the support bearing 31 is arranged in the tail stock 3, so that the connecting boss 41 of the connecting seat 4 can be inserted into the tail stock 3, thereby reducing the distance between the tail stock 3 and the main seat 2, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the volume.

[0038] In order to facilitate the signal connection and electrical connection between the five-axis servo motor 9 and the CNC center of the machine tool, the tailstock 3 also includes a five-axis L-shaped wire tube 33. The side cover plate 32 is provided with a through hole coaxial with the support bearing 31. The five-axis L-shaped wire tube 33 covers the outer wall of the side cover plate 32 and is connected to the through hole, and the opening of the five-axis L-shaped wire tube 33 is set downward. The five-axis L-shaped wire tube 33 is used for the wiring of the five-axis servo motor 9. Specifically, the connecting boss 41 of the connecting seat 4 is hollow, so that the wires of the five-axis servo motor 9 can pass through the connecting boss 41, the tailstock 3 and the five-axis L-shaped wire tube 33 to connect with the external CNC center. The opening of the five-axis L-shaped wire tube 33 is facing downward to prevent external coolant from passing through the five-axis L-shaped wire tube 33 during operation and entering the mounting hole 30 of the tailstock 3 to corrode the support bearing 31.

[0039] Correspondingly, in this embodiment, a mounting shell 20 is provided on the main seat 2, and the mounting shell 20 is used to accommodate the four-axis servo motor 7, and a four-axis L-shaped wire tube 21 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting shell 20, and the four-axis L-shaped wire tube 21 is used for routing the wires of the four-axis servo motor 7, so that the wires of the four-axis servo motor 7 can be connected to the external CNC center through the four-axis L-shaped wire tube 21.

[0040] See attached Figure 5 The base plate 1 is provided with a plurality of waist-shaped connecting holes 11 on the surrounding side of the avoidance hole 10. The waist-shaped connecting holes 11 are used for connecting the base plate 1 to the machine tool. The setting of the waist-shaped connecting holes 11 facilitates the connection between the five-axis turntable and the machine tool and improves the fault tolerance of the installation.

[0041] In other embodiments, a machine tool is provided, comprising the above-mentioned five-axis turntable.
