Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of multi-axis power heads, and particularly relates to a multi-axis power head with a PU friction wheel. Background Technique

[0002] A power head is a power component that can achieve the main motion and feed motion and has an automatic workpiece cycle. It is a relatively simple variable-speed transmission mechanism with various forms. The basic principle is that a motor drives a gear speed-changing mechanism, which can realize functions such as boring, milling, and drilling. The power head is also called a power tool holder, which refers to a tool holder installed on a power turret and driven by a servo motor. This kind of tool holder is generally applied to a turning-milling compound machine, and a few can also be applied to a machining center with a power turret. Most of the existing multi-axis power heads use gears for transmission inside. The driving gear meshes with multiple driven gears, and the multiple driven gears rotate around a driving gear. Gears will generate noise during operation, and the friction between the gears will cause the temperature inside the power head to rise rapidly, easily causing damage to the power head. For this reason, we propose a multi-axis power head with a PU friction wheel. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a multi-axis power head with a PU friction wheel. The utility model solves the problem that most of the existing multi-axis power heads use gears for transmission inside. The driving gear meshes with multiple driven gears, and the multiple driven gears rotate around a driving gear. Gears will generate noise during operation, and the friction between the gears will cause the temperature inside the power head to rise rapidly, easily causing damage to the power head.

[0004] A multi-axis power head with a PU friction wheel in the utility model includes a bottom plate. In the middle above the bottom plate, there is a power box. In the middle on one side above the power box, there is a motor. The rotating shaft of the motor penetrates through the power box and is fixedly connected to a driving shaft. On the side of the driving shaft in the power box away from the motor, there is a first PU wheel. On both sides below the driving shaft in the power box, there are transmission shafts. On the transmission shafts, there are second PU wheels that match the first PU wheel. On both sides below the transmission shafts in the power box, there are output shafts. On the output shafts, there are third PU wheels that match the second PU wheel. The side of the output shaft away from the motor extends to the outside of the power box.

[0005] In the above solution, the first PU wheel is in mutual contact with the second PU wheels on both sides below it, and the second PU wheels are in mutual contact with the third PU wheels on both sides below them.

[0006] In the above solution, both ends of the driving shaft are movably connected to the power box through a rear main shaft bearing seat and a front main shaft bearing seat respectively. On the side of the front main shaft bearing seat away from the driving shaft, there is a main shaft end cover.

[0007] In the above solution, both ends of the transmission shaft are movably connected to the side wall of the power box, and a transmission shaft end cover is provided on the side of the power box away from the motor where the transmission shaft is located.

[0008] In the above solution, an output shaft bearing seat is provided at one end of the output shaft close to the motor. The output shaft bearing seat is fixedly connected to the power box. A tapered roller bearing is provided between the output shaft and the output shaft bearing seat. An output shaft rear seal cover is provided on the side of the tapered roller bearing close to the motor, and a shaft tail end sealing ring is provided between the output shaft rear seal cover and the output shaft bearing seat.

[0009] In the above solution, one end of the output shaft away from the motor is movably connected to the power box through a deep groove ball bearing. An output shaft seal flange is provided on the side of the power box away from the motor where the deep groove ball bearing is located. An output shaft front seal cover is provided on the side of the output shaft seal flange away from the deep groove ball bearing, and a shaft front end sealing ring is provided between the output shaft front seal cover and the output shaft seal flange.

[0010] In the above solution, a plurality of equally spaced mounting holes are provided on both sides of the bottom plate.

[0011] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The present utility model provides a multi-axis power head with a PU friction wheel. The PU friction wheel transmits torque by tightly attaching to the outer diameter surface, producing lower noise than the conventional gear meshing for torque transmission. At the same time, there is no influence on the accuracy of the processed hole due to the small tooth gaps in the gear transmission, resulting in a significant improvement in the surface roughness of the hole wall. It is suitable for manufacturing a high-precision light-cutting multi-axis processing power box to replace the traditional gear. The surface of the friction wheel is glued with PU, reducing the complicated procedures of gear processing, lowering the manufacturing cost, and the machining accuracy of the outer diameter of the friction wheel is also much lower than that of hobbing. PU has good friction coefficient and heat resistance, and can fully adapt as a new option to replace the gear of the multi-axis small-torque power box. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Under the action of friction, the two second PU wheels 7 that are in contact with the first PU wheel 5 can drive the transmission shafts 6 to rotate. When the transmission shafts 6 rotate, under the action of friction, the two third PU wheels 9 that are in contact with the second PU wheels 7 can drive the output shafts 8 to rotate. PU has good friction coefficient and heat resistance, and can be adapted as a new option to replace the gears of a multi-axis small-torque power box, and the friction coefficient is little affected by the lubricating fluid. The first PU wheel 5, the second PU wheel 7, and the third PU wheel 9 are all friction wheels with PU strips glued on the surface.

[0020] The first PU wheel 5 is in mutual contact with the second PU wheels 7 on both sides below it, and the second PU wheels 7 are in mutual contact with the third PU wheels 9 on both sides below them.
