[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an ultrasonic-assisted broaching device for a horizontal broaching machine provided in a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a tool sleeve 100, an ultrasonic horn 200, a broach 300, a limiting strip 400, and a sliding sleeve 500.

[0039] A guiding groove 110 is provided at the front end of the tool sleeve 100, and a sliding hole 120 extending radially is provided on the peripheral wall of the tool sleeve 100. The sliding hole 120 extends along the radial direction of the tool sleeve 100, and the inner end of the sliding hole 120 extends to communicate with the guiding groove 110; the rear end of the ultrasonic horn 200 is inserted into the guiding groove 110 and a cutter clamping circumferential groove 210 is provided at a position corresponding to the sliding hole 120. An installation convex ring 230 is provided in the middle of the ultrasonic horn 200, and ultrasonic piezoelectric ceramics are installed on both sides of the installation convex ring 230 to provide ultrasonic vibration. The broach 300 is coaxially connected to the front end of the ultrasonic horn 200.

[0040] The limiting strip 400 has a limiting state and a releasing state. The inner end of the limiting strip 400 in the limiting state is inserted into the cutter clamping circumferential groove 210, and the limiting strip 400 in the releasing state is disengaged from the cutter clamping circumferential groove 210. The limiting strip 400 is slidably installed in the sliding hole 120 to realize the switching between the limiting state and the releasing state; the sliding sleeve 500 is slidably sleeved on the tool sleeve 100; as Figure 7As shown, the limiting strip 400 is in a limiting state, and the sliding sleeve 500 can slide to block the limiting strip 400 from disengaging from the cutter clamping groove 210; the elastic member 600 is used to push the limiting strip 400 in the limiting state to move towards the release state.

[0041] An ultrasonic-assisted broaching device for a horizontal broaching machine in a preferred embodiment provided by the present utility model realizes the rapid clamping and disassembly of the broach by using the limiting strip 400 and the sliding sleeve 500. Compared with the traditional limiting block, the elastic member 600 can push the limiting strip 400 in the limiting state to move towards the release state. When disassembly is required, only the sliding sleeve 500 needs to be pushed to release the blocking limit of the limiting strip 400 from disengaging from the cutter clamping groove 210, and the limiting strip 400 can move to the release state under the action of the elastic member 600 to automatically release the limit on the broach, reducing the operation steps and thus improving the tool change efficiency. The guiding groove 110 at the front end of the tool sleeve 100 cooperates with the rear end of the ultrasonic horn 200 to ensure the coaxiality of the ultrasonic horn 200 and the broach 300, which helps to improve the accuracy during the machining process. The setting of the ultrasonic horn 200 allows the tool assembly to be used in ultrasonic vibration machining, which can improve the cutting efficiency and machining quality while reducing tool wear.

[0042] Refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments of the present utility model, a first connecting disk 310 with a radially protruding rear end is provided on the broach 300, and a second connecting disk 220 that fits with the first connecting disk 310 is provided at the front end of the ultrasonic horn 200. Corresponding holes are provided on the first connecting disk 310 and the second connecting disk 220 for connection and fixation by fasteners, and the first connecting disk 310 and the second connecting disk 220 facilitate the machining of holes to realize the connection between the broach 300 and the ultrasonic horn 200. A positioning post 320 is provided at the rear end of the broach 300, and a positioning hole 221 for the positioning post 320 to be embedded is provided at the front end of the ultrasonic horn 200. The embedding of the positioning post 320 into the positioning hole 221 plays an effect of coaxial positioning, improving the machining accuracy.

[0043] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present utility model, a notch groove 121 is provided on the side wall of the sliding hole 120, an installation block 410 that is embedded in the notch groove 121 is provided on the side wall of the limiting strip 400, the elastic member 600 is a compression spring installed between the installation block 410 and the inner bottom wall of the notch groove 121, and the notch groove 121 provides installation and movement space for the installation block 410 and the compression spring. An elastic acting force is provided to the installation block 410 and the limiting strip 400 through the compression spring, so that when not blocked by the sliding sleeve 500, it can automatically disengage from the cutter clamping groove 210, facilitating the subsequent disassembly and replacement of the ultrasonic horn 200.

[0044] Refer to Figure 7, in a further embodiment of the present utility model, the mounting block 410 is provided with a limiting rod 420, the inner bottom wall of the notch groove 121 is provided with a limiting protrusion 122, the compression spring is sleeved on the limiting rod 420 and the limiting protrusion 122, and the limiting rod 420 and the limiting protrusion 122 are used to realize the installation limit of the compression spring, so that its shape is stable. In addition, there is a distance between the limiting rod 420 and the limiting protrusion 122 to avoid structural interference.

[0045] Referring to Figure 3 , in a further embodiment of the present utility model, the mounting block 410 is provided with a threaded hole 411, and the outer end of the limiting rod 420 is provided with a stud 421 threadedly connected to the threaded hole 411, so as to realize the detachable connection between the limiting rod 420 and the mounting block 410, which is convenient for processing and reduces the processing difficulty.

[0046] Referring to Figures 5 to 7 , in a further embodiment of the present utility model, the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 500 is provided with an inner groove 510, and the outer end of the limiting strip 400 in the released state can be embedded in the inner groove 510, so that the limiting strip 400 can move outward to the released state to avoid structural interference; the rear side wall of the inner groove 510 is provided with a conical surface 511 that converges backward toward the center, so that when the sliding sleeve 500 slides forward, the conical surface 511 can push the limiting strip 400 to slide inward to the limiting state. Thus, when the sliding sleeve 500 is pushed, the limiting strip 400 can be driven to slide inward, which is convenient for installation. It can be understood that when the limiting strip 400 is in the limiting state, the outer end of the limiting strip 400 can also partially extend out of the sliding hole 120.

[0047] Referring to Figures 5 to 7 , in a further embodiment of the present utility model, the inner side edge of the rear side wall of the inner groove 510 is provided with an annular groove 512 that is recessed backward, and the annular groove 512 forms a cylindrical surface 513 that is connected to the inner side of the first conical surface 511. The cylindrical surface 513 is used to abut against the outer end of the limiting strip 400 in the limiting state, that is, the outer end of the limiting strip 400 in the limiting state will partially extend out of the sliding hole 120 and abut against the cylindrical surface 513. At this time, the limiting strip 400 cannot move inward anymore due to the blocking of the ultrasonic horn 200. When the ultrasonic horn 200 is not disassembled, a part of the structure of the limiting strip 400 will always extend out of the sliding hole 120, so that the outer end of the limiting strip 400 can only slide in the inner groove 510 and the annular groove 512, thereby also limiting the sliding range of the sliding sleeve 500. In addition, the contact between the outer end of the limiting strip 400 and the cylindrical surface 513 also prevents the generation of axial force to push the sliding sleeve 500 to move axially, making the position of the sliding sleeve 500 relatively stable.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the rear side edge of the outer end of the limiting strip 400 is provided with a first chamfer 401, and the inner edge of the front end of the sliding sleeve 500 is provided with a second chamfer 501, so as to reduce structural interference during installation.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the tool holder 100 is provided with a sliding shaft section. The sliding hole 120 is arranged on the peripheral wall of the sliding shaft section. The sliding sleeve 500 is slidably sleeved on the sliding shaft section. The outer peripheral wall of the sliding shaft section is smooth so that the sliding sleeve 500 can slide smoothly.

[0050] As Figure 3 shown, a convex shaft 140 is provided at the front end of the tool holder 100. The convex shaft is provided with an annular groove with an opening facing backward. The annular groove wraps the front end of the sliding sleeve 500, and the front end wall of the annular groove limits the forward movement range of the sliding sleeve 500.

[0051] In a further embodiment of the present utility model, a threaded shaft section is provided at the rear end of the sliding shaft section. The diameter of the threaded shaft section is smaller than that of the sliding shaft section. A limit nut is threadedly connected to the threaded shaft section to limit the sliding sleeve 500, so that the sliding sleeve 500 can fix the limit strip 400 in a limited state. Of course, in some other embodiments, the sliding sleeve 500 can be driven to slide by a driving mechanism, such as a telescopic cylinder or a telescopic oil cylinder, so as to improve the degree of automation.

[0052] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
