Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of machining centers, in particular to a balance rod structure of a machining center. Background Technique
[0002] A numerically controlled machining center is a device that realizes automated machining through a computer control system. The numerical control system reads the machining program stored in the computer, controls the servo system of the machine tool to drive the actuating mechanism, and makes a relative movement between the workpiece and the tool, thereby realizing the machining process. During the machining process, the numerical control system adjusts parameters such as the movement trajectory of the tool, cutting speed, and feed rate in real time according to the machining requirements to ensure machining accuracy and quality.
[0003] The balance rod of the machining center plays an important role in the machining process of machine tools such as machining centers. It helps to improve machining accuracy and efficiency and reduce wear and friction. The described balance rod of the machining center is mainly used to balance the weights of the workbench, fixture, and workpiece. The weights of each part are evenly distributed to each balance rod through hydraulic oil to reduce friction and wear, thereby improving machining accuracy and efficiency.
[0004] Specifically, traditional gantry boring and milling machines mostly adopt a counterweight balance method. As the saddle moves, the center of gravity moves accordingly, resulting in poor balance and reduced machining accuracy. Currently, some numerically controlled machining centers also adopt a middle-mounted single-rod balance rod system. The balance rod system is arranged at the top of the column. The top of the balance rod is connected to the hydraulic system and driven by the hydraulic system. At the same time, the top of the balance rod is also fixedly connected to the saddle. The saddle drives the balance rod to slide up and down synchronously along the column of the numerical control center. With the above structure, the balance rod must be higher than the column, increasing the overall height of the machine tool, making installation difficult and costly. At the same time, due to the use of a single-rod balance rod system, the balance of the saddle sliding is poor, which in turn affects machining accuracy.
[0005] Based on this, Chinese Patent CN202846250U discloses a double-rod inverted balance rod system for a numerically controlled machining center. It is a left-right symmetric structure, which includes an upper bracket, a balance rod, and a lower bracket. The two sides of the saddle of the numerically controlled machining center are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the two upper brackets on both sides. The top end of the balance rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the upper bracket. The middle of the balance rod passes through the lower bracket. The bottom end of the balance rod is connected to the hydraulic system and driven by the hydraulic system to expand and contract up and down. The saddle drives the two upper brackets and the balance rod on both sides to slide up and down synchronously along the column of the numerical control center. The two lower brackets are respectively fixed on the outer sides of the columns of the numerically controlled machining center. This kind of balance rod system is arranged on one side of the numerically controlled machining center. The balance rod does not need to extend out of the height of the column, effectively reducing the height of the numerically controlled machining center machine tool and facilitating the installation of the numerically controlled machining center machine tool. At the same time, the support of the balance rod makes the up and down sliding of the saddle box more stable, improving machining accuracy.
[0006] However, the above - disclosed still has the technical problem of affecting the moving efficiency due to large sliding friction. Specifically, in the technical solutions disclosed in the existing patents, when this kind of balance bar system works, the saddle drives the upper brackets and the balance bar on both sides to slide up and down along the column of the numerical control center synchronously. Driven by the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic system, the balance bar always maintains the state of supporting the weight of the saddle box, reducing the motor load and thus increasing the service life of the motor. That is to say, in the structure of this kind of balance bar, the saddle is connected to the balance bar system; at the same time, the saddle is slidably connected to the column through a number of sliders, and further, the saddle and the balance bar structure are linked. Due to the sliding friction between the slider and the linear guide rail, there will be a large resistance when the saddle moves on the column. Moreover, it is easy for processing debris and other sundries to remain on the linear guide rail, further affecting the smooth movement of the slider on the linear guide rail. Utility Model Content

[0029] Specifically, when the balance rod structure of the machining center of the present utility model is in the working process, the main rod body structure 1 is the connecting part of the external machining center. It mainly serves as the supporting structure of each component and enables the saddle structure 3 to be movably connected thereto. When the machining mechanism 5 needs to move to a preset machining position, the moving drive mechanism 2 is activated to drive the saddle structure 3 to drive the machining mechanism 5 to move. When the saddle structure 3 moves, one side bracket 6 provided on each side thereof can act along the guide of the balance rod structure 7 to adjust and guide the moving track of the saddle structure 3. In addition, when the moving pulley group 4 enables the saddle structure 3 to move along the main rod body structure 1, the sliding friction between the slider and the linear guide in the traditional technical solution is converted into the rolling friction between the moving pulley group 4 and the main rod body structure 1, thereby reducing the frictional resistance generated when the saddle structure 3 moves along the main rod body structure 1. Furthermore, the moving efficiency between the saddle structure 3 and the main rod body structure 1 is improved to solve the technical problem of low moving efficiency between the slider and the column in the balance rod system in the current technical solution.
[0030] Furthermore, the main rod body structure 1 has a vertical rod main body 101 and a side guide groove 102; a side guide groove 102 is provided on each of the two side surfaces of the vertical rod main body 101.
[0031] Furthermore, the moving drive mechanism 2 has a motor connection frame 201, a servo motor 202, a power output wheel 203, a transmission chain 204, a power transmission wheel 205, and a drive lead screw 206; the motor connection frame 201 is connected to one end of the vertical rod main body 101, and the servo motor 202 is connected to the motor connection frame 201; the servo motor 202 is drivingly connected to the power output wheel 203, the transmission chain 204 is respectively connected to the power output wheel 203 and the power transmission wheel 205; the drive lead screw 206 is movably connected to the side surface of the vertical rod main body 101, and the power transmission wheel 205 is connected to one end of the drive lead screw 206.
[0032] Furthermore, the saddle structure 3 has a moving seat 301, a drive nut block 302, and a saddle connection part 303; at least one drive nut block 302 is provided on the side surface of the moving seat 301, and each drive nut block 302 is matingly connected to the drive lead screw 206; the saddle connection part 303 is provided on the other side surface of the moving seat 301 relative to the drive nut block 302, and the saddle connection part 303 is connected to the machining mechanism 5.

[0034] Further, the moving pulley group 4 has a plurality of pulley connecting shafts 401 and a plurality of pulley structures 402; the plurality of pulley connecting shafts 401 are respectively and evenly distributed and connected to both side surfaces of the moving seat 301, and each pulley connecting shaft 401 is movably connected to a corresponding pulley structure 402; each pulley structure 402 is movably connected to the side guiding groove 102. Specifically, when the saddle structure 3 moves on the side surface of the main rod body structure 1, the pulley connecting shafts 401 provided on both sides thereof are respectively connected to the pulley structures 402, and the pulley structures 402 can reciprocally roll in the side guiding groove 102. Thus, the saddle structure 3 can be converted from a traditional sliding connection to a rolling connection form to reduce the influence of frictional resistance on the moving efficiency of the saddle structure 3.
[0035] Further, the processing mechanism 5 has a processing servo motor 501 and a processing tool 502; the processing servo motor 501 is connected to the saddle connection part 303, and the processing servo motor 501 is drivingly connected to the processing tool 502.

After the processing servo motor 501 is started, the processing tool 502 can be rotated to perform cutting processing on the workpiece to be processed.
[0036] In summary, the balance rod structure of the machining center of the present utility model is respectively provided with a main rod body structure 1, a moving drive mechanism 2, a saddle structure 3, a moving pulley set 4, a machining mechanism 5, side brackets 6 and a balance rod structure 7.

Furthermore, the moving efficiency between the saddle structure 3 and the main rod body structure 1 is improved to solve the technical problem of low moving efficiency between the slider and the column in the balance rod system in the current technical solution.
