Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cutting tools, and particularly relates to a numerical control tool protection mechanism. Background Technique

[0002] In the current technical field, the turning tool used in a numerical control lathe usually depends on installing and fixing a cutting blade on a tool shank to perform the cutting task. During the cutting operation, the cutting blade directly contacts the surface of the workpiece to be machined, and the material is removed through rotational and feeding movements. However, a common problem is that due to the cutting blade being under high load operation for a long time and frequent contact with the workpiece, it is extremely prone to breakage, that is, the so-called cutting blade chipping phenomenon, which seriously affects the machining efficiency and the quality of the workpiece.

[0003] To address this problem, the industry has adopted the method of adding a fixed pressing plate on the tool shank and applying pressure to the rear end of the alloy cutting blade using a pressing plate screw, in order to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the cutting blade and preventing it from shifting or falling off during cutting. In practical applications, when the turning tool interacts with the workpiece, continuous and opposite reaction forces will be generated. These forces act not only on the cutting blade but also on the tool shank and the fixing components. Over time, this continuous reverse force will cause the screws of the fixed pressing plate to gradually loosen, which may then lead to the rotation or displacement of the pressing plate itself. Once the position of the fixed pressing plate is no longer stable, its original function of fixing the cutting blade will be greatly reduced, and the stability and safety of the cutting blade during the cutting process will also be seriously threatened. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems raised in the above background technique, and then a numerical control tool protection mechanism is proposed.

[0009] Further, it further includes a locking assembly. A locking threaded hole is provided on the tool shank. The locking threaded hole horizontally penetrates through the positioning threaded hole. A through hole is provided on the locking bolt. The locking assembly includes a flexible spring, a pin and a locking bolt. A flexible spring is provided at the bottom of the locking bolt hole. When the locking bolt is threadedly connected to the positioning threaded hole, the end of the pin can sequentially insert into the locking threaded hole and the through hole and then abut against the flexible spring.

[0010] Further, the locking bolt is threadedly connected to the locking threaded hole and presses the pin to cause elastic deformation of the flexible spring.

[0011] Further, the end of the pin is provided with a rounded corner.

Detailed Embodiment

[0016] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. The present utility model will be further described in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments:

[0017] Such as Figure 1 - Figure 2As shown in the figure, a numerical control tool protection mechanism is installed on the tool shank 1 and includes a pressing component 3. A clamping groove 11 is provided at the front end of the tool shank. An alloy blade 2 is inserted into the clamping groove and locked and fixed by a fixing bolt 21. Such a design facilitates the quick replacement and stable installation of the alloy blade, improving work efficiency and the stability of the blade. The pressing component includes a fixed pressing plate 31 and a first bolt 32. A plugging notch 13 is provided on the tool shank. The fixed pressing plate is placed in the plugging notch, and the fixed pressing plate is fixedly connected to the tool shank by the first bolt. The setting of the pressing component effectively prevents the alloy blade from loosening and falling off during the working process and enhances the overall rigidity of the tool.

[0018] Furthermore, the end of the fixed pressing plate abuts against the surface of the alloy blade.

[0019] Furthermore, a positioning threaded hole 12 is provided in the middle of the plugging notch, and a locking bolt is threadedly connected in the positioning threaded hole.

[0020] In at least one embodiment, a locking component 4 is further included. A locking threaded hole 41 is provided on the tool shank. The locking threaded hole horizontally penetrates the positioning threaded hole. A through hole 321 is provided on the first bolt. The locking component includes a flexible spring 42, a plug pin 43 and a locking bolt 44. A flexible spring is provided at the bottom of the locking bolt hole. When the locking bolt is threadedly connected in the positioning threaded hole, the end of the plug pin can sequentially insert into the locking threaded hole and the through hole and then abut against the flexible spring. The addition of the locking component provides additional safety protection for the tool and effectively prevents the tool from loosening or being damaged due to vibration or external force impact.

[0021] Furthermore, the locking bolt is threadedly connected in the locking threaded hole and presses the plug pin to cause the flexible spring to undergo elastic deformation. This design enables the locking component to have a self-locking function and can maintain a stable locking state even under strong vibration or impact.

[0022] Furthermore, the end of the plug pin is provided with a rounded corner. The rounded corner design at the end of the plug pin reduces the friction and resistance during the insertion process of the plug pin, making the installation smoother and also reducing the damage to surrounding components.

[0023] Working method: First, accurately insert the alloy blade 2 into the clamping groove 11 at the front end of the tool shank 1 to ensure a tight fit between the blade and the clamping groove without any shaking. Then, use the fixing bolt 21 to lock the alloy blade in the clamping groove and rotate the bolt until the blade is stable and immovable to ensure that the blade will not fall off or move during the machining process. Place the fixed pressing plate 31 in the plugging notch 13 of the tool shank 1 to ensure that the position of the pressing plate is correct and it fits tightly with the tool shank. Use the first bolt 32 to fasten the fixed pressing plate to the tool shank, and at the same time ensure that the end of the fixed pressing plate tightly abuts against the surface of the alloy blade to provide additional support and fixing force.

[0024] If the locking component 4 is included in this embodiment, thread the locking bolt 44 into the positioning threaded hole 12, and at the same time ensure that the through hole 321 on the locking bolt is aligned with the locking threaded hole 41 for subsequent insertion of the pin. Place the flexible spring 42 at the bottom of the locking threaded hole to ensure that the spring is in the correct position and not damaged. Insert the end of the pin 43 into the locking threaded hole 41 and the through hole 321 in sequence until the end of the pin abuts against the flexible spring 42. The rounded guide angle design of the pin helps to reduce friction and resistance, making the installation smoother. Continue to rotate the locking bolt 44 so that it is fully threaded into the locking threaded hole 41 and presses the pin 43, causing the flexible spring 42 to undergo elastic deformation. In this way, the locking component can provide additional locking force and stability for the tool.
