[0002] With the development of China's machinery industry, the market has an increasing demand for high-precision machining and composite machining of workpieces. The indexing worktable is the most critical functional component in machining centers, especially horizontal machining centers. The indexing worktable refers to a machine tool accessory with a movable tabletop for clamping workpieces and achieving indexing and positioning. According to the instructions of the numerical control system, when indexing work is required, the worktable rotates a specified angle together with the workpiece to change the position of the workpiece relative to the spindle, so that multiple surfaces of the workpiece can be machined in one installation.

[0003] Currently, the indexing worktables generally in use usually adopt a belt drive method to achieve the indexing operation of the worktable. Since the load that the belt can bear is small, it is not suitable for the machining of large parts. Moreover, the component for detecting the disengagement of the detection gear disk is in direct contact with the end face of the gear ring, with a high degree of friction and large loss, resulting in a short service life of the detection device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides a disengaging and positioning detection device for a indexing mechanism of a rotary worktable, which has a simple structure and a small number of transmission parts, high positioning stiffness and high indexing accuracy.

[0018] As Figures 1-4 shown, this embodiment discloses a disengagement positioning detection device for a rotary worktable indexing mechanism, which is used for detecting the disengagement of the indexing drive of the rotary worktable for a numerical control machine tool and the upper and lower tooth discs 14 and 13 of the workbench 1. Specifically, it includes a workbench 1, a transmission assembly and a tooth disc disengagement detection assembly. Refer to Figure 1 , the transmission assembly is arranged on the workbench 1. The transmission assembly includes a motor 2, a speed reducer 3, a bevel gear shaft 4 and a bevel gear 5. It can be seen from Figure 1 that the motor 2 is arranged on the tabletop of the workbench 1, and the output shaft of the motor 2 is directly connected to the input shaft of the speed reducer 3. Refer to Figure 2 , a bevel gear shaft 4 is sleeved and connected to the output shaft of the speed reducer 3. The bevel gear 5 is arranged on the lower side of the tooth ring of the lower tooth disc 13 of the workbench 1, and its tooth surface meshes with the conical teeth of the bevel gear shaft 4. The gear shaft of the bevel gear 5 is arranged upwards, and its tooth surface meshes with the tooth ring of the lower tooth disc 13 of the workbench 1.

[0019] Refer to Figure 1 , the tooth disc disengagement detection assembly is arranged on the slide seat of the workbench 1 on one side of the transmission assembly. It can be seen from Figure 3 that the tooth disc disengagement detection assembly includes a detection bracket 6, a detection switch 7, a spring seat 8, a connecting rod 9 and a collision block 10. Refer to Figure 3, the detection bracket 6 is an inverted "L" - shaped bracket. A mounting strip groove is provided in the middle of the end face of its vertical end. A threaded hole is provided on the horizontal end face of the detection bracket 6, and it is connected to the surface of the workbench 1 below the side of the tooth disc 14 on the workbench 1 through a bolt. The number of the detection switches 7 is two. They are installed in the mounting strip groove of the detection bracket 6 from top to bottom through a return spring, and the part extending out of the mounting strip groove is an arc structure. Among them, the one located below is the first switch for detecting meshing, and the one located above is the second switch for detecting disengagement.

[0020] See Figure 3 , the spring seat 8 is arranged on one side of the detection bracket 6 and is located below the disc surface of the upper tooth disc 14 of the workbench 1. The spring seat 8 is connected to the workbench 1 through a bolt structure. A spring is provided inside the spring seat 8. The connecting rod 9 is located inside the spring seat 8. For the specific structure, see Figure 4 , the middle - upper part of the connecting rod 9 is the contact end, and the remaining part is the connecting end. The diameter of the contact end is larger than that of the connecting end. A mounting hole groove is provided on the top surface of the contact end. A support shaft 11 is installed in the mounting hole groove, and a deep - groove ball bearing 12 is installed on the support shaft 11. The connecting end of the connecting rod 9 is snap - fitted with the spring inside the spring seat 8, and the bottom of the connecting end extends out of the spring seat 8. See Figure 3 , under the elastic force of the spring, the contact end of the connecting rod 9 enables the deep - groove ball bearing 12 on its top surface to roll - contact with the bottom surface of the upper tooth disc 14 of the workbench 1 whether in the meshing or disengagement state. The collision block 10 is installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 9, and its peripheral surface faces the detection switch 7.

[0021] During use, the transmission component uses a reducer 3 directly connected to a bevel - gear shaft. The bevel gear on the bevel - gear shaft meshes with the bevel gear on the gear shaft, and then the gear on the gear shaft meshes with the lower tooth disc 13 fixed on the workbench 1 to transmit power to realize the operation of the workbench 1. For the tooth - disc disengagement detection component, a deep - groove ball bearing 12 is added to the connecting rod 9. The deep - groove ball bearing 12 contacts the end face of the tooth ring and rotates following the rotation of the tooth ring. The connecting rod 9 is equipped with a spring, which can ensure that the bearing can contact the upper tooth disc 14 of the workbench 1 whether the tooth discs are in the meshing or disengagement state. When the upper and lower tooth discs are meshed, the upper tooth disc 14 presses down, driving the connecting rod 9 and the collision block 10 at its bottom to sink. At this time, the horizontal position of the collision block 10 is at the same horizontal position as the first switch, and the first switch is pushed out, making its length outside greater than that of the second switch. When the upper and lower tooth discs are disengaged, the upper tooth disc 14 rises, and the connecting rod 9 rises under the elastic force of the spring in the spring seat 8 and always contacts the bottom surface of the upper tooth disc 14. At this time, the collision block 10 rises and is at the same horizontal position as the second switch, and the second switch is pushed out, making its length outside greater than that of the first switch. By observing the extended lengths of the two switches, it can be determined whether the upper and lower tooth discs are in the meshing or disengagement state.
