Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of machining, and particularly relates to a hydrostatic round ram of a gantry machining center. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid increase in the domestic demand for large equipment such as heavy machinery, construction machinery, locomotives and rolling stock, large motors, hydraulic turbines, steam turbines, ships, and nuclear power, the machining of large box-shaped parts has become a key issue that urgently needs to be solved in China. CNC machine tools are constantly developing towards high precision and high speed, putting forward new requirements for the stiffness and quality of the moving parts of the machine tool.
[0003] A gantry boring and milling machine is a machining equipment integrating advanced technologies such as machinery, electricity, and hydraulics. It is suitable for semi-finishing and finishing in industries such as aviation, heavy machinery, locomotives, shipbuilding, power generation, machine tools, automobiles, printing, and molds, and can also be used for rough machining. The overall structure of the gantry boring and milling machine consists of a gantry frame. The gantry frame is composed of double columns, a movable crossbeam, a connecting beam, a transverse slide plate, and a milling head ram to form a rigid frame. The crossbeam moves up and down along the column guide rails (W axis). A vertical high-power multi-functional ram-type boring and milling head is configured on the crossbeam. The slide plate of the boring and milling head moves left and right (Y axis) and up and down (Z axis) along the crossbeam guide rails, and the gantry frame moves longitudinally along the bed (X axis).
[0004] Most of the current large gantry boring and milling machines adopt a square ram structure. The guide rail structures include trapezoidal guide rails and four-sided surrounding structures. The disadvantage of the trapezoidal guide rail is that the spindle center is not at the center of the guide rail. Although the spindle center of the four-sided surrounding structure is at the center of the guide rail, the stiffness of the square ram in each direction is different. During cutting, under the same load, the deformation in each direction is different, thus affecting the machining accuracy of the machine tool. Moreover, it is difficult to machine the perpendicularity of the adjacent guide rail surfaces and the parallelism of the opposite surfaces of the square ram, and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy. In addition, the four-sided surrounding structure of the square ram also makes it difficult to guarantee the installation accuracy. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] In order to solve the problem that the force deformation in each direction of a non-circular ram affects the machining accuracy during cutting, the utility model provides a hydrostatic round ram of a gantry machining center.
[0006] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:
[0007] A hydrostatic round ram of a gantry machining center includes a slide base. A round hole is provided in the slide base, and a round ram is slidably arranged in the round hole. Hydrostatic guide plates are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the round hole. A main transmission shaft is provided at the axis center of the round ram, and one end of the main transmission shaft is connected with a spindle unit.
[0008] The main shaft unit is arranged at the axis of the smooth pillow. At the same time, the smooth pillow cooperates with the hydrostatic guide plates evenly distributed in the round hole, so that the stiffness in all directions is the same. Thus, under the same load conditions, the deformations in all directions are the same, which further helps to improve the machining accuracy of the machine tool.
[0009] A further improvement of the present utility model is that the surface of the hydrostatic guide plate close to the smooth pillow is an arc surface that can be adapted to the surface of the smooth pillow, which helps to improve the adaptability between the hydrostatic guide plate and the smooth pillow.
[0010] A further improvement of the present utility model is that an oil passage is provided in the hydrostatic guide plate, and a number of oil holes communicating with the oil passage are opened on the arc surface of the hydrostatic guide plate; a hydrostatic oil film is provided between the hydrostatic guide plate and the smooth pillow. The lubricating oil is discharged through the oil passage and the oil holes, so as to form a hydrostatic oil film between the hydrostatic guide plate and the smooth pillow, and improve the guiding performance of the smooth pillow.
[0011] A further improvement of the present utility model is that a guiding key extending along the axial direction of the round hole is provided in the slide base, and a key groove that can cooperate with the guiding key is opened on the smooth pillow. The cooperation between the guiding key and the key groove helps to prevent the smooth pillow from rotating in the circumferential direction.
[0012] A further improvement of the present utility model is that there are two guiding keys, and the two guiding keys are arranged at both ends of the diameter line of the round hole.
[0013] A further improvement of the present utility model is that the slide base includes a base and a seat cover arranged above the base. Arc-shaped grooves are respectively opened on the opposite surfaces of the base and the seat cover, and the two arc-shaped grooves are combined to form a round hole for accommodating the smooth pillow, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing, as well as the assembly of the hydrostatic guide plate and the guiding key on the slide base.
[0014] A further improvement of the present utility model is that a driving groove communicating with the arc-shaped groove is provided in the base, a lead screw pair is provided in the driving groove, and a nut seat that cooperates with the lead screw pair and is connected to the smooth pillow is connected to the lead screw pair; a Z-axis motor for driving the rotation of the lead screw pair is provided at one end of the driving groove. The cooperation between the lead screw pair and the nut seat forms a ball screw pair mechanism, and under the driving action of the Z-axis motor, the smooth pillow is driven to move axially in the round hole.
[0015] A further improvement of the present utility model is that there are two driving grooves, and the two driving grooves are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the smooth pillow.
[0016] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the beneficial effects of the present utility model are: the main shaft unit is arranged at the axis of the smooth pillow. At the same time, the smooth pillow cooperates with the hydrostatic guide plates evenly distributed in the round hole, so that the stiffness in all directions is the same. Thus, under the same load conditions, the deformations in all directions are the same, which further helps to improve the machining accuracy of the machine tool. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] A guiding key 8 extending along the axial direction of the round hole is provided in the sliding seat, and a key groove capable of cooperating with the guiding key 8 is provided on the smooth pillow 1. There are two guiding keys 8, and the two guiding keys 8 are arranged at both ends of the diameter line of the round hole.
