[0033] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention proposes a thread rolling machine spindle 4 mounting structure, which is provided with two spindle 4 mounting structures in the thread rolling machine. Each spindle 4 mounting structure has a thread rolling wheel 5, and the workpiece is thread rolled by two thread rolling machines.
[0035] Specifically, the main shaft 4 installation structure mainly includes the adjustment plate 1, the front support block 2, the rear support block 3, the main shaft 4, the thrust bearing 12, the disc spring 13 and other components.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the front support block 2 and the rear support block 3 support the front end and the rear end of the main shaft 4 respectively, and the front end and the rear end of the main shaft 4 are rotatably connected to the front support block 2 and the rear support block 3 respectively.
[0037] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The front support block 2 has a circular hole, within which are two bearings 8 equipped with two rings of needle rollers. The front end of the main shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the front support block 2 via the two bearings 8. A spacer sleeve 11 is provided between the main shaft 4 and the two bearings 8. The spacer sleeve 11 is mounted on the main shaft 4 to reduce wear on the main shaft 4. A bearing end cap 9 is provided at the front and rear ends of the front support block 2, sealingly securing the two bearings 8 within the front support block 2. The bearing end caps 9 are bolted to the front support block 2.
[0038] A sealing ring 10 is provided between the bearing end cover 9 and the main shaft 4 to play a sealing role.
[0039] refer to Figure 5The rear support block 3 has two cavities: a first cavity 301 and a second cavity 302. The first cavity 301 is connected by a through hole 303. The diameter of the through hole 303 is smaller than that of the first cavity 301 and the second cavity 302, and is consistent with the diameter of the rear end of the spindle 4. Therefore, the cross-section of the entire cavity in the rear support block 3 presents an "I" shape.
[0040] refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 Two thrust bearings 12 are provided, one located in the first cavity 301 and the other in the second cavity 302. Two bearings 8 are also located in the first cavity 301, each with two rings of needle rollers. A roller bearing 14 is located in the second cavity 302. The disc spring 13 is located in the second cavity 302, between the thrust bearing 12 and the roller bearing 14. The roller bearing 14 bears the combined axial and radial loads of the main shaft 4, reducing friction during its rotation.
[0041] The rear end of the main shaft 4 passes through the first cavity 301, the through hole 303, and the second cavity 302. Specifically, the rear end of the main shaft 4 passes through two bearings 8, two thrust bearings 12, a disc spring 13, and a roller bearing 14 in sequence, and is finally connected to the spline shaft 7 through a coupling. The spline shaft 7 is then connected to the drive mechanism, which drives the spline shaft 7 to rotate, thereby driving the rotation of the main shaft 4.
[0042] The front and rear ends of the rear support block 3 are each provided with a bearing end cover 9 for sealing and fixing the bearing 8 in the cavity in the rear support block 3. A sealing ring 10 is also provided between the bearing end cover 9 and the main shaft 4 to play a sealing role.
[0043] The front end of the main shaft 4 is provided with a front end cover 6, which is located at the front end of the front support block 2 and is fixed to the front end of the main shaft 4 by screws, and is used to limit the front end of the main shaft 4.
[0044] The thrust bearing 12 is used to bear and balance the axial force of the main shaft 4. Since an axial gap may appear between the main shaft 4 and the thrust bearing 12 during operation, the disc spring 13 applies an axial force to the thrust bearing 12, so that the thrust bearing 12 is always close to the main shaft 4 and positioned.
[0045] The thread rolling wheel 5 is mounted on the main shaft 4 and is located between the front support block 2 and the rear support block 3. It rotates along with the main shaft 4 and is used to perform thread rolling processing on the workpiece.
[0046] The front support block 2 is movably mounted on the front side of the adjustment plate 1 , and the rear support block 3 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the adjustment plate 1 by bolts.
[0047] refer to Figure 6Two T-slots 101 and two chutes 102 are provided at the front end of the front side of the adjusting plate 1. The two chutes 102 are located between the two T-slots 101 and are parallel to each other.
[0048] Simultaneously, two slide rails 18 are provided on the back of the front support block 2. The slide rails 18 are fixedly mounted on the front support block 2 by screws, and the slide rails 18 are slidably connected to the chute 102. The front support block 2 is mounted on the adjustment plate 1 by the slide rails 18 so as to slide horizontally.
[0049] Continue to refer Figure 6 Two T-shaped rods 15 are also provided on the back of the front support block 2. These rods 15 correspond to the two T-shaped slots 101. One end of the T-shaped slot 101 is through, allowing the rods 15 to be inserted into the T-shaped slot 101 from the through end. The T-shaped rods 15 are pluggable with the front support block 2. Correspondingly, a socket (not shown) is provided on the back of the front support block 2.
[0050] Positioning bolts 17 and adjustment rods 16 are threadedly connected to the top, bottom, and front end of the front support block 2. There are two positioning bolts 17 and two adjustment rods 16, each corresponding to the two T-bars 15. Correspondingly, threaded holes are formed in the top, bottom, and front end of the front support block 2.
[0051] The insertion hole and the bolt holes corresponding to the positioning bolt 17 and the adjusting rod 16 are interconnected and perpendicular to each other.
[0052] like Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, there is a circle of annular groove 161 on the outer circumference of the adjusting rod 16, and there is a groove 151 on the T-shaped rod 15. The positioning bolt 17 will be engaged with the annular groove 161, and the adjusting rod 16 will be engaged with the groove 151 on the T-shaped rod 15.
[0053] refer to Figure 9 , an eccentric rod 162 is provided at the front end of the adjusting rod 16 , and the eccentric rod 162 is eccentrically arranged with respect to the adjusting rod 16 .
[0054] When the front support block 2 is installed, the slide rail 18 on the back of the front support block 2 is horizontally inserted into the slide groove 102. At the same time, the T-shaped end of the T-shaped rod 15 connected to the socket on the back of the front support block 2 is horizontally inserted into the T-shaped slot 101 and can slide relative to the T-shaped slot 101.
[0055] After the front support block 2 is in place, the adjusting rod 16 is rotated. During the rotation process, the eccentric rod 162 at the front end of the adjusting rod 16 presses against the inner wall of the groove 151 on the T-bar 15, exerting an axial force on the T-bar 15. The static friction between the T-shaped end of the T-bar 15 and the T-slot 101 increases, and the T-bar 15 cannot slide relative to the T-slot 101, thereby fixing the front support block 2 to the adjusting plate 1. Then, the positioning bolt 17 is rotated, and the positioning bolt 17 engages with the annular groove 161, limiting the axial position of the adjusting rod 16.
[0056] Since the width of the annular groove 161 is slightly larger than the diameter of the positioning bolt 17, it is not necessary to unscrew the positioning bolt 17 during actual assembly. Instead, the adjusting rod 16 only needs to be slightly loosened. The eccentric rod 162 on the adjusting rod 16 will then be out of contact with the inner wall of the groove 151 on the T-bar 15. This will remove the axial force of the T-bar 15, thereby reducing the static friction between the T-bar 15 and the T-slot 101. The T-bar 15 can then easily slide out of the T-slot 101, allowing the front support block 2 to be removed. This makes it easier to quickly install the thread rolling wheel 5 on the main shaft 4.
[0057] The annular groove 161 exists to prevent the positioning bolt 17 from interfering with the adjusting rod 16 during its rotation.
[0058] The above technical solutions only reflect the preferred technical solutions of the present utility model. Any changes that may be made to certain parts thereof by technicians in this technical field all reflect the principles of the present utility model and fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
