[0017] As Figure 1As shown in Fig. 5, a propeller position-changing machine system includes a position-changing machine active bed 1, a main motor 2, an active feed box 3, a chuck mechanism 4, a support device 5, a top-tightening protection device 6, an auxiliary top-tightening bed guide rail a7, an auxiliary top-tightening bed guide rail b8, and a centering shaft 11. A main motor 2 and an active feed box 3 are installed on the position-changing machine active bed 1. The main motor 2 is located on one side of the active feed box 3, and the driving end of the main motor 2 is connected to the active feed box 3. A chuck mechanism 4 is installed at the output end of the active feed box 3. The chuck mechanism 4 is a clamping structure of a four-jaw chuck; at one end far from the main motor 2, an auxiliary top-tightening bed guide rail a7 is fixed on this side of the position-changing machine active bed 1, and a support device 5 is installed on the auxiliary top-tightening bed guide rail a7; on the other side of the auxiliary top-tightening bed guide rail a7, there is an auxiliary top-tightening bed guide rail b8. The auxiliary top-tightening bed guide rail b8 is spaced apart from the auxiliary top-tightening bed guide rail a7, and a support device 5 is also installed on the auxiliary top-tightening bed guide rail b8. On one side of the support device 5, a top-tightening protection device 6 is installed on the auxiliary top-tightening bed guide rail b8; there is a horizontal centering shaft 11 between the top-tightening protection device 6 and the chuck mechanism 4.

[0018] One end of the main shaft in the active feed box 3 is provided with a center drill, and the chuck mechanism 4 is fixed at the front end of the main shaft of the active feed box 3; one end of the top-tightening protection device 6 is also provided with a center drill. The two center drills are opposite and located on the same straight line, and the two center drills respectively abut against the centers at both ends of the centering shaft.

[0019] A fixed button station is provided near the chuck mechanism 4 of the active feed box 3, and a rotatable dial is fixed above the button station. A main shaft speedometer, an ammeter, a speed change indicator light, and a lubrication signal light are installed on the dial.

[0020] An oil temperature control oil tank is provided on the active feed box 3, and a flow relay is installed in front of the oil distributor; a main shaft bearing temperature rise measuring device is installed at the main shaft bearing in the active feed box 3.

[0021] The positioner system adopts a horizontal layout and is placed in the foundation 9. The active bed 1 of the positioner is made of high-strength castings and has been fully stress-relieved. The active bed 1 of the positioner is fixed to the foundation 9 through multiple groups of anchor pads, making it an integral whole with the foundation 9. The active feed box 3 is directly connected to the active bed 1 of the positioner. The main shaft in the active feed box 3 is in the form of a box body. The main movement is driven by a main motor 2 with AC frequency conversion. The main motor 2 drives the main shaft to rotate. A four-jaw chuck is fixed at the front end of the main shaft. The main shaft of the active feed box 3 adopts a through-shaft manufacturing process. The main shaft has a short and thick structure, a small length-diameter ratio, good rigidity, small deflection, and large load-bearing capacity. The radial support uses double-row roller bearings with highly precise adjustable radial clearance for centering. Through optimized design, the best support span has been obtained, effectively improving the rotational accuracy of the main shaft. The axial load-bearing uses two groups of high-precision thrust roller bearings, and a preload is applied axially. The gear ring is installed in the middle of the main shaft support. In this way, the main shaft has a good stress state and smooth transmission. Through the above measures, the radial and axial rotational accuracies of the main shaft can be guaranteed to be greatly improved. The tip of the main shaft adopts a short-cone interference flange type center, which is fastened to the front end of the main shaft by screws and an interference cone surface fit. The flange end face is tightly pressed against the front end face of the main shaft, thus ensuring that the center system has high rigidity.

[0022] The rotational power of the positioner system is output from the main shaft in the active feed box 3. It drives the workpiece to rotate synchronously by being tightened by the tightening protection device 6, clamped by the jaws. The rotation of the main shaft can be controlled by CNC instructions to control its forward and reverse rotations and adjust the angle amplitude. At the same time, the chuck mechanism 4 on the main shaft also has a disc brake clamping mechanism. The locking piece is driven by the oil cylinders on both sides of the disc connected to the main shaft to control the locking and loosening after the main shaft rotates to a specified angle. The braking torque is greater than 3000 N·m.

[0023] The main motor 2 and the main transmission mechanism in the active feed box 3 are connected by an elastic coupling. Through mechanical variable-speed gears and helical gear pairs, the power is transmitted to the connecting mechanism, making the connecting mechanism reach the specified torque. All high-precision gears in the main transmission mechanism have been hardened, ground, and subjected to necessary crowning processing, having sufficient transmission strength, accuracy, and motion smoothness.

[0024] The upper part of the clamping and protection device 6 is equipped with a tailstock spindle, a sleeve, a force measuring device, a spindle centerline adjustment structure and a sleeve movement mechanism, and the lower part is equipped with a tailstock movement mechanism, a backstop locking mechanism and a lubrication system; the spindle bearing of the clamping and protection device 6 adopts imported high-precision double-row radial short cylindrical roller bearings with adjustable radial clearance, which are installed in the sleeve. A disc spring for preventing damage to the mechanism due to thermal expansion of the workpiece is installed behind the spindle of the clamping and protection device 6; the force measuring sensor is installed at the tail of the sleeve and is equipped with a digital secondary instrument to display the magnitude of the clamping force. When operating, it first approaches the workpiece quickly and then clamps the workpiece slowly; the spindle tip of the clamping and protection device 6 is a flange-type short taper shank tip, which is fastened to the front end of the spindle by screws and an interference fit of the taper surface. The flange end face is closely pressed against the front end face of the spindle, thus ensuring that the tip system has high rigidity; the movement of the clamping and protection device 6 is driven by a separate motor. When movement is required, the hydraulic system first automatically relaxes the clamping mechanism, and automatically clamps the tailstock body when the tailstock moves to the working position. The clamping and relaxation of the clamping and protection device 6 are realized by disc spring locking and hydraulic relaxation; the tailstock is provided with a cantilever button station for controlling the movement, relaxation, locking, etc. of the tailstock.

[0025] The workpiece static balance support device consists of two sets of front and rear support devices 5, adopting a hydraulic support and hydrostatic roller structure. When installing the workpiece, it can be used as an auxiliary support component. The operation can first place the workpiece on the roller rack, move it up to the spindle center position by machine, and then lower it and maintain the minimum position with the workpiece axis after being signaled by the spindle tip. This can prevent the workpiece from falling off due to improper clamping or other reasons, providing a secondary protection function; when the workpiece needs to perform a static balance experiment, the two sets of roller racks are smoothly lifted by the lower hydraulic cylinder, and the entire weight of the workpiece is borne by the two sets of hydrostatic rollers on it. At this time, the claws and the tip are relaxed to ensure that the workpiece can rotate freely, completing the static balance experiment of a disc component such as the marine propeller 10.

[0026] Both the main feed box 3 and the longitudinal feed of the clamping and protection device 6 are driven by AC servo feed motors. The servo motors adopt semi-closed-loop control. To prevent the backward force generated by the workpiece due to gravity, a gear cutting locking device is also provided at the rear side of the main feed box 3 and the clamping and protection device 6. After the main feed box 3 and the clamping and protection device 6 move to the designated position, the gear cutting device is transversely locked with the rack of the main body 1 of the indexing machine, and then the workpiece is clamped. This can ensure that the left and right two sections of the main body 1 of the indexing machine are rigidly connected to the foundation 9 as a whole and will not have axial movement during the operation of the equipment.

[0027] A fixed button station is provided near the chuck mechanism 4 of the active feed box 3. On the button panel, there are buttons and knobs for controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the main shaft, forward and reverse electric vehicles, stop, and motor speed regulation, etc. Above the button station, a rotatable angle dial gauge holder is fixed, and a main shaft speedometer, ammeter, speed change indicator light, lubrication signal light, etc. are installed on the dial gauge holder. The oil temperature control oil tank provided on the active feed box 3 can automatically control the oil temperature and reduce the thermal deformation of the headstock. The flow relay is installed in front of the oil distributor and is used for monitoring the oil circuit to ensure that the main shaft components and the main transmission mechanism are fully lubricated. A main shaft bearing temperature rise measuring device is installed at the main shaft bearing in the active feed box 3. When the bearing temperature rise is too high, the alarm device will give an alarm to protect the machine tool main shaft system.

[0028] During the use process, in the first step, the centering shaft 11 is fitted and installed in the central hole of the propeller 10 to quickly center the large aperture of the marine propeller 10. Then, adjust the jaws on the chuck mechanism 4 according to the end diameter of the centering shaft 11 on the disc parts such as the marine propeller 10 to be clamped as required. Move the active bed of the positioner 1 to ensure that the distance between the two center points is about 150 mm greater than the length of the centering shaft 11. The support device 5 adjusts the clamping range according to the outer diameter of the centering shaft 11, which is larger than the outer diameter dimension of the shaft end of the centering shaft 11. The traveling crane hoists the centering shaft 11 between the two center points, and slowly moves the centering shaft 11 on the marine propeller 10 so that the center point on one side of the chuck mechanism 4 enters the central hole at one end of the centering shaft 11. The maximum workpiece weight that can be supported between the two center points is 160 t, and the maximum workpiece weight is 160 tons when the two support devices 5 are used simultaneously. The clamping diameter of the chuck mechanism 4 is 100 - 600 mm, and the power of the main motor 2 is 75 kw. Through the tightening button of the tightening protection device 6, the center point extends out of the center point sleeve so that the center point enters the central hole at the other end of the centering shaft 11. According to the weight of the clamped marine propeller 10, adjust the tightening force through the button on the tightening protection device 6 to ensure that the centering shaft 11 is tightened. Use a special wrench to tighten the four jaws on the chuck mechanism 4 to clamp the outer circle at one end of the centering shaft 11, loosen the lifting tool, and click the button to rotate the marine propeller 10 to complete the clamping of the marine propeller 10.
