The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a milling head positioning and locking structure of the present invention includes a milling head 10, a connecting seat 20, a key seat 30, a pull stud 40, an induction screw 50, a locking assembly 60, a stop block 70, a pin shaft 80, a mounting pin 90 and an elastic member 100.
[0026] The milling head 10 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 20, and the connecting seat 20 is used to mount the milling head 10 to the main shaft.
[0027] The key seat 30 is drivingly connected to the milling head 10, and the key seat 30 rotates synchronously with the milling head 10. The axis of the key seat 30 and the axis of the milling head 10 are located on the same straight line. The key seat 30 is located within the connection seat 20. A driving groove 31 is provided on one side of the key seat 30 facing the main shaft. When the milling head 10 is not installed, the driving groove 31 is used to lock the milling head 10 so that the milling head 10 can be installed at a fixed angle, facilitating installation. When the milling head 10 is installed, the driving groove 31 is buckled with the main shaft so that the main shaft can drive the milling head 10 to rotate. Specifically, the driving groove 31 is in a shape of a straight line, and a part of the driving groove 31 is a slotted structure so that the locking key 61 can disengage from the driving groove 31. The number of the driving grooves 31 is multiple, and the multiple driving grooves 31 are symmetric about the centroid of the key seat 30. In this embodiment, the number of the driving grooves 31 is four, and the four driving grooves 31 are arranged in a cross shape.
[0028] The pull stud 40 is fixed to one end of the connection seat 20 away from the milling head 10. The pull stud 40 is used to cooperate with the main shaft. Specifically, the connection seat 20 is square, and the number of the pull studs 40 is four. The four pull studs 40 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the connection seat 20.
[0029] The induction screw 50 is fixed to one end of the connection seat 20 away from the milling head 10. The induction screw 50 is used for the proximity switch on the ram to sense and output a signal to the machine tool to indicate that the automatic connection is completed.
[0030] The locking assembly 60 includes a locking key 61, a gasket 62 and a locking member 63. The locking key 61 is fixed to the pin shaft 80. The locking key 61 is used to buckle with the driving groove 31 to lock the key seat 30 and the connection seat 20. The gasket 62 is located between the locking key 61 and the locking member 63 and is used for locking the locking key 61. The locking member 63 is threadedly connected to the pin shaft 80 and is used to fix the locking key 61. Specifically, the locking member 63 is a locking nut.
[0031] The stop block 70 is used to install the pin shaft 80. The stop block 70 is fixed to one end of the connection seat 20 away from the milling head 10. A through hole is provided on the stop block 70, and the pin shaft 80 is slidably installed in the through hole. When the milling head 10 is not installed, the pin shaft 80 extends out of the through hole. When the milling head 10 is installed, the pin shaft 80 is retracted into the through hole by being abutted.
[0032] The pin shaft 80 is floatingly installed in the connection seat 20. Specifically, the pin shaft 80 is slidably installed in the connection seat 20 and the stop block 70. The elastic member 100 is installed in the connection seat 20, and both ends of the elastic member 100 are respectively abutted against the connection seat 20 and the pin shaft 80. The axis of the pin shaft 80 is parallel to the axis of the key seat 30.
[0033] The mounting pin 90 is fixed to the connection seat 20. When the elastic member 100 is sleeved on the mounting pin 90, the mounting pin 90 prevents the elastic member 100 from being twisted.
[0034] When using the positioning and locking structure of the milling head, when the milling head 10 is not installed, the pin shaft 80 is resisted by the elastic member 100, and the pin shaft 80 extends out of the stopper 70. At this time, driven by the pin shaft 80, the locking key 61 is located in the transmission groove 31. At this time, the locking key 61 is locked with the key seat 30, the milling head 10 is locked and cannot rotate, the milling head 10 and the connecting seat 20 are at a fixed angle, and the milling head 10 is in the 0-degree position, which is convenient for installation. When the milling head 10 is installed on the machine tool ram, the pin shaft 80 is resisted by the ram, the elastic member 100 is compressed, the pin shaft 80 drives the locking key 61 of the locking assembly 60 to disengage from the transmission groove 31, and the transmission key of the machine tool spindle is inserted into the transmission groove 31 of the key seat 30, and the milling head 10 can rotate; at the same time, the pull stud 40 is tightened, and the proximity switch on the ram senses the position of the sensing screw 50 and outputs a signal to the machine tool to indicate that the automatic connection is completed.
[0035] The positioning and locking structure of the milling head of the present utility model makes the transmission groove 31 of the uninstalled milling head 10 at a fixed angle, which is convenient for the installation of the milling head 10.
[0036] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can be made. These are all equivalent modifications and evolutions made to the above embodiments based on the substantial technology of the present utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
