[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0026] In related art, the coolant pipe used to supply coolant to the workpiece is typically fixed in one position and cannot move with the tool. This means that during machining, the coolant pipe is fixed in one position to cool the part and cannot move with the tool. During cutting, only the initial cutting area is cooled, and subsequent coolant cannot reach the cutting surface. During machining, the equipment door is locked and cannot be opened to adjust the coolant flow direction. Cutting heat is concentrated on a portion of the cutting surface, which may cause tool deflection or tool wear, affecting part machining quality. Based on this, the following embodiments are provided.
[0027] The utility model provides a cooling tool for a turret, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes: a switching tube 1 and a water diversion plug 2. The switching tube 1 is closed at the bottom and open at the top so that the water diversion plug 2 can be placed into the switching tube 1.
[0028] The adapter tube 1 is used to be fixedly installed on the top of the turret. A plurality of adapter water inlets 3 are provided on the adapter tube 1. The adapter water inlets 3 pass through the wall of the adapter tube 1. The number of adapter water inlets 3 is equal to the number of turret tool positions. One adapter water inlet 3 corresponds to one turret tool position. The adapter water inlets 3 are connected to the coolant pipe or the internal cooling tool.
[0029] The water diversion plug 2 is arranged in the adapter tube 1 and can rotate relative to the adapter tube 1. The water diversion plug 2 is provided with a cooling water channel and an inlet 4 and an outlet 6 connected to the cooling water channel. The outlet 6 is arranged on the side wall of the water diversion plug 2. The outlet 6 can and can only be connected with the adapter water port 3 corresponding to the tool position of the turret, that is, when the turret drives the adapter tube to rotate, the water diversion plug 2 cannot be driven to rotate. The inlet 4 is connected to the liquid supply system, and the liquid supply system provides coolant to the cooling tooling for the turret. The water diversion plug 2 is constructed to have the freedom to move horizontally with the turret.
[0030] When the cooling tooling for the turret provided by the embodiment of the utility model is in use, the adapter tube 1 thereon can rotate with the turret. When the tool on any tool position is transferred to the processing tool position, there is an adapter water outlet 3 corresponding to the tool. The adapter water outlet 3 can be connected to the coolant pipe or the coolant inlet 4 of the internally cooled tool, and the adapter tube 1 can move with the movement of the turret, so that the water outlet end of the coolant pipe can always be aligned with the tool, and the distance between the water outlet end and the tool can be kept shorter, thereby improving the cooling effect during the processing.
[0031] In some embodiments, the adapter water inlet 3 has an internal thread.
[0032] This embodiment facilitates the threaded connection between the coolant pipe or the liquid inlet of the internally cooled tool and the adapter water port 3 .
[0033] In some embodiments, four transfer water inlets 3 are provided.
[0034] In this embodiment, a tool is provided on each of the four sides of the turret, and one adapter water inlet 3 corresponds to one tool.
[0035] In some embodiments, the adapter tube 1 is fixedly arranged on the top of the turret through two connecting plates 5, one end of the connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the adapter tube 1 through a bolt, and the other end is fixedly connected to the turret through a bolt.
[0036] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the adapter tube 1 is easy to disassemble and assemble.
[0037] Specifically, two connecting pieces 5 are provided. The connecting piece 5 is a sheet metal part connecting the adapter tube 1 and the turret. The connecting piece 5 is manually bent into the connecting piece 5, and the two sets of holes are aligned. The clamping bolts and the connecting bolts are installed to connect the turret and the adapter tube 1 together in this way.
[0038] In some embodiments, the adapter tube 1 has a cylindrical cavity, the water diversion plug 2 is cylindrical, and the adapter tube 1 and the water diversion plug 2 are clearance-fitted.
[0039] This embodiment enables the adapter tube 1 to rotate relative to the water diversion plug 2 .
[0040] In some embodiments, the inlet 4 and the liquid supply system are connected through a liquid supply pipe, and the liquid supply pipe can limit the freedom of the water diversion plug 2 to rotate around its own axis.
[0041] The liquid supply pipe in this embodiment can allow the turret to drive the water diversion plug 2 forward, backward and left and right, and since the connection part between the liquid supply pipe and the water diversion plug 2 is a rigid structure, the structure of the liquid supply pipe near the connection part is a rigid structure. Therefore, the liquid supply pipe can prevent the water diversion plug 2 from rotating around its own axis, thereby ensuring that the outlet 6 on the water diversion plug 2 is always aligned with the processing tool position.
[0042] Note: The liquid supply pipe is relatively long. When the adapter tube 1 rotates, the friction between the adapter tube 1 and the water diversion plug 2 is not enough to drive the water diversion plug 2 and the liquid supply pipe connected thereto to rotate together. When the adapter tube moves forward and backward, left and right, it will inevitably drive the water diversion plug 2 and the liquid supply pipe to move. Moreover, since the left and right displacement length of the turret is very small relative to the length of the liquid supply pipe during the processing, its movement will only cause the water diversion plug 2 to produce a slight rotation, which does not affect the connectivity between the outlet 6 and the adapter water outlet 3. In addition, after each processing is completed, the position of the water diversion plug 2 can be adjusted before the next processing so that the outlet 6 and the adapter water outlet 3 can maintain a good connectivity.
[0043] In some embodiments, the inlet 4 is disposed on the top of the water diversion plug 2 so as to be connected and communicated with the liquid supply pipe.
[0044] In some embodiments, a limit plate is provided on the top of the adapter tube 1 , and at least part of the water diversion plug 2 is located below the limit plate, which limits the freedom of the water diversion plug 2 to move upward.
[0045] In this embodiment, the limit plate is used to limit the upward movement of the water diversion plug 2, so as to improve the working stability and prevent the water diversion plug 2 from being dislodged from the adapter tube 1 after being subjected to force in the working state.
[0046] The present invention also provides a turret, the top of which is provided with a cooling tool for the turret as described in any one of the above embodiments.
[0047] This embodiment has all the advantages of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0048] It is understandable that the present invention does not improve the turret itself. Figures 1-2 A turret model 100 is used to illustrate the positional relationship between the turret and the cooling fixture. The turret can rotate, move forward and backward, and move left and right under the drive of a driving device.
[0049] Of course, in order to facilitate the installation of the adapter tube 1 on the top of the turret, a mounting portion can be constructed on the top of the turret. The specific construction method is not limited as long as the adapter tube 1 can be fixedly installed.
[0050] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. At the same time, those skilled in the art will find that the specific implementation methods and application scopes may vary based on the concept of the present invention. In summary, the contents of this specification should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
