Detailed implementation manners
[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying 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 creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a coupling structure for a five-axis linkage CNC machining center. It includes a sliding sleeve 1. One end of the sliding sleeve 1 is provided with a sliding groove 110, which is used for when the second fixing sleeve 4 is clamped into the inside of the fixing sleeve 3, the steel ball 6 is clamped inside, so that when one end of the second fixing sleeve 4 enters, the steel ball 6 is squeezed into the limiting groove 401. The inside of the sliding sleeve 1 is movably connected with a fixing sleeve 3, and the fixing sleeve 3 is used to connect the first connecting shaft 7 and the second connecting shaft 8. One end of the fixing sleeve 3 is provided with a limiting hole 302, and a limiting block 300 protrudes from the middle of the fixing sleeve 3. The limiting block 300 is used to fix the sliding sleeve 1 outside the fixing sleeve 3 to prevent the sliding sleeve 1 from slipping off the outside of the fixing sleeve 3. A steel ball 6 is clamped inside the limiting hole 302. One end inside of the fixing sleeve 3 is clamped with a second fixing sleeve 4. One end of the second fixing sleeve 4 is recessed with a limiting groove 401. The first connecting shaft 7 is clamped inside the second fixing sleeve 4. When the sliding sleeve 1 slides to the right, the steel ball 6 enters the sliding groove 110 due to the extrusion of one end of the second fixing sleeve 4 inside. Subsequently, as the telescopic spring 2 returns to its original state, the steel ball 6 is squeezed back into the limiting hole 302 again and is clamped inside the fixing sleeve 3 under the extrusion of the inner wall of the top sliding sleeve 1. The other end inside of the fixing sleeve 3 is clamped with a second connecting shaft 8. The surface of the second connecting shaft 8 is fixedly connected with a second telescopic spring 9. The top of the second telescopic spring 9 is fixedly connected with a clamping block 10. The second telescopic spring 9 can contract when the first connecting shaft 7 and the second connecting shaft 8 enter the inside of the fixing sleeve 3 and the second fixing sleeve 4, and when sliding to the second clamping groove 400 and the clamping groove 301, the clamping block 10 is fixed inside the fixing sleeve 3 and the second fixing sleeve 4 under the elastic action of the second telescopic spring 9.
[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , an expansion spring 2 is sleeved outside the fixing sleeve 3, and the expansion spring 2 is clamped inside the sliding sleeve 1. The limiting block 300 is clamped in the groove opened inside the sliding sleeve 1. The middle of the limiting hole 302 expands towards both ends, enabling the steel ball 6 to move inside while not falling outside. The diameter of the steel ball 6 is larger than the aperture at both ends of the limiting hole 302. One end of the second fixing sleeve 4 is provided with a second clamping groove 400, and one end of the fixing sleeve 3 is provided with a clamping groove 301. The surfaces of the first connecting shaft 7 and the second connecting shaft 8 are both fixedly connected with a second telescopic spring 9. The first connecting shaft 7 and the second connecting shaft 8 are clamped inside the second clamping groove 400 and the clamping groove 301 through the clamping block 10. A fixing hole 700 is opened on the surface of the first connecting shaft 7, and a second fixing hole 800 is opened on the surface of the second connecting shaft 8. A fixing bolt 5 is arranged inside the fixing hole 700, and a second fixing bolt 11 is arranged inside the second fixing hole 800. The second fixing sleeve 4 and the first connecting shaft 7 are fixedly connected through the fixing bolt 5, and the fixing sleeve 3 and the second connecting shaft 8 are fixedly connected through the second fixing bolt 11.
[0023] During use, when it is necessary to connect the first connecting shaft 7 and the second connecting shaft 8, first snap the first connecting shaft 7 and the second connecting shaft 8 into the interiors of the second fixing sleeve 4 and the fixing sleeve 3 respectively. Since the sliding sleeve 1 is slidably connected to the outside of the fixing sleeve 3, when the sliding sleeve 1 slides to the right end, one end of the second fixing sleeve 4 squeezes the steel ball 6, and squeezes the steel ball 6 into the interior of the chute 110 opened at one end of the sliding sleeve 1. When the limiting groove 401 opened at one end of the second fixing sleeve 4 slides below the limiting hole 302, the telescopic spring 2 compressed by the sliding sleeve 1 at one end returns to its original position, driving the bottom of the sliding sleeve 1 to squeeze the steel ball 6 downward and snap it into the interior of the limiting groove 401. The second telescopic spring 9 provided on the surface of the second connecting shaft 8 is snapped into the interior of the card slot 301 after being squeezed. The first connecting shaft 7 and the second connecting shaft 8 are fixed in the interiors of the fixing sleeve 3 and the second fixing sleeve 4 through the fixing bolt 5 and the second fixing bolt 11. Since the steel ball 6 provided in the interior of the card slot 301 opened at one end of the fixing sleeve 3 can be snapped into the interior of the limiting groove 401 under the squeezing action of the sliding sleeve 1 at the top for fixation, it is avoided that the screws become loose due to vibration during the operation of the machine. Without external force applied, the sliding sleeve 1 will not move, and the steel ball 6 can always be snapped into the interior of the limiting groove 401 for connection.
