[0024] Bearings 6 are provided at the front end and the rear end on the inner side of the boring bar sleeve 2 and the outer circumference of the boring bar body. The boring bar body can rotate circumferentially within the boring bar sleeve 2 to perform cutting processing on the workpiece.

[0028] A hydraulic clamping sleeve 7 for axially clamping the boring bar sleeve 2 is provided on the outer side of the boring bar sleeve 2 and inside the support flange 1;

[0029] A hydraulic gap is provided between the inner circumference of the hydraulic clamping sleeve 7 and the boring bar sleeve 2, and a hydraulic space 8 is provided between the outer circumference of the hydraulic clamping sleeve 7 and the support flange 1. The hydraulic space 8 is communicated with a hydraulic channel 9 provided inside the support flange 1; the provided hydraulic clamping sleeve 7 can radially clamp the boring bar sleeve 2 when the boring bar body 3 in the boring bar sleeve 2 drives the tool holder 4 to rotate circumferentially to machine the workpiece, so as to prevent the boring bar sleeve 2 from rotating; specifically, a pressure inlet 10 communicated with the hydraulic channel 9 is provided on the support flange 1.

The bearing outer gland covers 14 are used to further fasten the bearings 6 and can bear axial forces, thereby protecting the bearings 6 from damage and ensuring the position stability of the bearings 6 during machining.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, an annular spray structure 15 is provided at one end of the boring bar sleeve 2 close to the tool holder 4. An air sealing ring 16 is provided on the bearing outer gland cover 14, that is, the annular spray structure is provided at the front end of the boring bar structure for external cooling during machining. Through the annular spray structure, the spraying direction and flow rate of the coolant or gas can be precisely controlled to meet specific requirements during the machining process;

[0035] In a specific embodiment, a bearing temperature sensor 17 is further included. The bearing temperature sensor 17 is installed at the front end and the rear end of the boring bar sleeve 2 and at the positions corresponding to the installation positions of the bearings 6, and is used to monitor the temperature of the bearings 6, and further play a role in monitoring the working state of the boring bar.

[0036] The working process of a high-rigidity boring bar structure disclosed by the present utility model is as follows:

[0037] First, the boring bar sleeve 2, the boring bar body 3, and the tool holder 4 perform a linear feed motion along the axial direction under the drive of the main shaft. During the motion, the linear bearings 5 respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the outer circle of the boring bar sleeve 2 provide support rigidity for the component structure of the inner circle of the support flange 1 of the boring bar sleeve 2 and the boring bar body 3, reducing the problem of low tool motion position accuracy caused by insufficient rigidity of the boring bar for the tool holder 4 and the tool, and being able to improve the rigidity of the boring bar structure, thereby improving the cutting accuracy;

[0038] After the linear feed motion is completed, the oil pressure enters the hydraulic clamping sleeve through the pressure inlet and the hydraulic channel 9 on the support flange 1, so that the hydraulic clamping sleeve clamps and fixes the boring bar sleeve 2. Then, the boring bar body 3, the broaching structure, the tool holder 4, and the locking nut 13 jointly rotate circumferentially in the boring bar sleeve 2 to perform cutting processing on the workpiece;

[0039] According to the actual processing requirements, the automatic tool change operation of the boring bar can be realized through the broaching structure inside the boring bar body 3, reducing the tool change time and improving the production efficiency. Moreover, it can also avoid the errors that may occur during the manual tool change process, further ensuring high-precision processing; at the same time, by replacing different tool combinations, the machine tool can adapt to different processing requirements, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the machine tool.
