[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0023] See also Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides an embodiment: a replacement device for a high-precision CBN tool with a positioning structure, comprising a tool box 1, a tool replacement mechanism is provided inside the tool box 1, and a replacement port is provided at the bottom of the tool box 1, the tool replacement mechanism comprises a cutter disc 2, a tool seat 3 and a tool body 4, a plurality of tool seats 3 are provided and fixedly installed on the outer side of the cutter disc 2, a plurality of tool bodies 4 are provided, and the tool bodies 4 are different CBN tools, the tool body 4 is installed on the tool seat 3, a connecting ring groove 201 is provided on the lower end surface of the cutter disc 2, a positioning ring cavity 202 is provided along the upper side of the connecting ring groove 201 inside the cutter disc 2, the connecting ring groove 201 is communicated with the positioning ring cavity 202, and a positioning mechanism is provided inside the positioning ring cavity 202, the positioning mechanism comprises a pressure plate 17 and a transmission rod 16, the lower end surface of the pressure plate 17 is roughened, the lower end of the transmission rod 16 passes through the connecting ring groove 201 and extends to the bottom of the cutter disc 2, and the positioning mechanism can be vertically lifted and moved.
[0024] During use, by driving the cutter disc 2 to rotate, the tool holder 3 with the tool body 4 on the outside can be driven to rotate, so that different tool bodies 4 can be rotated to the replacement port position, which is convenient for replacing the tool. By driving the positioning mechanism downward, the pressure plate 17 can be pressed on the cutter disc 2. Through contact friction, the cutter disc 2 can be prevented from rotating, which increases the position stability of the cutter disc 2 and realizes the positioning of the cutter disc 2, which is beneficial for the accurate replacement of the tool. Furthermore, by setting a positioning mechanism, the positioning mechanism effectively suppresses the rotation of the cutter disc 2 after the rotation stops through the close contact and friction between the pressure plate 17 and the cutter disc 2, ensuring the precise positioning of the tool at the replacement port position and improving the accuracy and stability of tool replacement.
[0025] Furthermore, a central shaft 7 is fixedly installed inside the cutter disc 2, and the central shaft 7 passes through the cutter disc 2 and is rotatably connected to the tool box 1. The central shaft 7 serves as the rotation core of the cutter disc 2, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the rotation movement. A transmission box 5 is fixedly installed above the tool box 1, and a transmission mechanism 8 is provided inside the transmission box 5. The transmission mechanism 8 includes gear 1 9 and gear 2 10, which are meshed and connected with gear 2 10. The diameter of gear 1 9 is larger than the diameter of gear 2 10, which is conducive to accurately driving the cutter disc 2 to rotate a certain angle. The power is transmitted from the drive box 6 to the cutter disc 2 through the transmission mechanism 8, thereby realizing remote control and adjustment of the power, providing a stable and reliable power source for tool replacement, and further improving the accuracy and efficiency of replacement.
[0026] Furthermore, a transmission shaft 1 is fixedly installed inside the gear 1 9, and the transmission shaft 1 passes through the gear 1 9. The transmission shaft 1 is fixedly connected to the central shaft 7. A transmission shaft 2 is fixedly installed inside the gear 2 10, and the transmission shaft 2 passes through the gear 2 10. The transmission shaft 2 is rotationally connected to the transmission box 5. The fixed connection between the transmission shaft 1 and the central shaft 7, and the rotational connection between the transmission shaft 2 and the transmission box 5 constitute a solid foundation for the transmission path, enhance the overall stability of the transmission system, make power transmission more direct and efficient, and reduce energy loss.
[0027] Furthermore, a drive box 6 is fixedly installed above the transmission box 5, and an electric motor 11 is provided inside the drive box 6. The electric motor 11 is fixedly connected to the drive box 6, and the output end of the electric motor 11 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 2, so that the electric motor 11 can drive the transmission shaft 2 as a power source, thereby driving the entire transmission mechanism to work.
[0028] Furthermore, a measuring box 12 is fixedly installed in the middle below the tool box 1, and an encoder 13 is provided inside the measuring box 12. The encoder 13 is fixedly connected to the tool box 1, and the input end of the encoder 13 is fixedly connected to the center shaft 7. The setting of the encoder 13 enables accurate position feedback to be provided during the tool replacement process. Through the fixed connection with the center shaft 7, the encoder can monitor the rotation angle of the tool disc 2 in real time, which helps to achieve accurate replacement of the tool. It can also perform real-time monitoring and adjustment during the replacement process to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the replacement.
[0029] Furthermore, a stabilizing ring groove 203 is provided on the lower end surface of the cutter disc 2, and a stabilizing ring plate 18 is provided inside the stabilizing ring groove 203. The stabilizing ring plate 18 passes through the interior of the cutter disc 2 and is fixedly connected to the tool box 1. The combination of the stabilizing ring groove 203 and the stabilizing ring plate 18 provides additional stability support for the cutter disc 2. During tool replacement or high-speed rotation, the stabilizing ring plate 18 can effectively prevent the cutter disc 2 from shaking and offset, ensure the accurate alignment and stable operation of the tool, and improve the accuracy and safety of tool replacement.
[0030] Furthermore, a protective cover 14 is fixedly installed under the tool box 1, and an electric cylinder 15 is arranged inside the protective cover 14. The electric cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the tool box 1, and the push rod end of the electric cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 16 of the positioning mechanism. The electric cylinder 15 serves as a driving source, and the vertical lifting and lowering movement of the positioning mechanism is realized through the fixed connection between the push rod end and the transmission rod 16, which not only simplifies the driving mode of the positioning mechanism, but also helps to improve the stability and reliability of the positioning mechanism. In addition, the setting of the protective cover 14 can prevent external factors from interfering with and damaging the positioning mechanism, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the tool replacement process.
[0031] Working principle: When in use, the tool replacement mechanism is set up, and the cutter disc 2 is used to drive multiple tool holders 3 equipped with different CBN tools to rotate, so as to realize flexible selection and replacement of tools. When the tool needs to be replaced, the cutter disc 2 is rotated to a specific angle by controlling the transmission mechanism so that the target tool is aligned with the replacement port. At this time, the transmission rod 16 in the positioning mechanism is driven by the electric cylinder 15 to drive the pressure plate 17 to move downward. The pressure plate 17 is in close contact with the cutter disc 2 with its rough lower end surface and generates friction, which effectively prevents the cutter disc 2 from continuing to rotate due to inertia, thereby realizing precise positioning and stabilization of the cutter disc 2. At the same time, the encoder 13 monitors the rotation angle of the cutter disc 2 in real time, provides accurate position feedback, and ensures the accuracy and reliability of tool replacement.
