[0004] When the locking structure is relaxed, the upper pressure plate will interfere with the locking part on the inner side of the bed, thereby forming sliding friction, hindering the smooth movement of the tailstock, and long-term sliding friction will cause serious wear on the locking part on the inner side of the bed, reducing the locking effect; but because the locking part on the inner side of the bed is integrated with the bed, it cannot be replaced and other design defects. Utility model content:

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a tailstock locking structure for a CNC lathe. The technical problem to be solved is that after unlocking, the upper pressure plate will interfere with the locking portion on the inner side of the bed, thereby causing sliding friction and hindering the smooth movement of the tailstock. To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the following examples so that the public can better understand the implementation method of the present invention. The specific implementation scheme of the present invention is as follows:

[0021] The tailstock locking structure of a CNC lathe comprises a tailstock body 1, a bed 2 and a linear guide 3. The tailstock body 1 is slidably connected to the bed 2 by the linear guide 3. A locking structure is also provided for locking the tailstock body 1 and the bed 2. The characterised in that the locking structure comprises a locking rod 4, which is arranged through the tailstock body 1 and is connected to the tailstock body 1 in a rotating structure manner. A left-handed thread segment 5 and a right-handed thread segment 6 are provided on the circumferential surface of the locking rod 4 at the lower portion, and a shoulder 7 is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the locking rod 4 in a fixed structure manner, and the shoulder 7 limits the upper and lower movable range of the locking rod 4; an upper pressing plate 8 and a lower pressing plate 9 for clamping the side 12 of the bed 2, the upper pressing plate 8 and the lower pressing plate 9 are respectively connected to the left-handed thread segment 5 and the right-handed thread segment 6 by threaded engagement; one of the upper pressing plate 8 or the lower pressing plate 9 is connected to a guide screw 10 in a fixed structure, and the guide screw 10 is connected to the other of the upper pressing plate 8 or the lower pressing plate 9 in a sliding structure manner. The locking rod 4 is fixed axially by the design of the shaft shoulder 7. After unlocking, the upper pressure plate 8 is separated from the side 12 without friction interference, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the tailstock body 1 and extending the service life of the side 12 and the upper pressure plate 8.

[0022] It should be noted that a groove for embedding the shaft shoulder 7 is provided at the upper end of the tailstock body 1 , and a pressure cover 11 is provided on the upper part of the shaft shoulder 7 . The pressure cover 11 is connected to the tailstock body 1 by bolts, which can play a dust-proof role.

[0023] Specifically, the guide screw 10 passes through the lower pressure plate 9 from bottom to top, and the guide screw 10 is fixed to the upper pressure plate 8 by threaded engagement. The guide screw 10 is connected to the lower pressure plate 9 by a sliding structure, which guides the upper and lower pressure plates and ensures that they move up and down without relative rotation.

[0024] The side is a locking rail 12, which is connected to the bed 2 by bolts. When the machine tool is produced, the locking rail can be subjected to special treatments such as quenching separately, which reduces the production cost of the machine tool. When the locking rail is damaged, it can be replaced, reducing the cost of subsequent machine tool maintenance and modification.

[0025] The working principle and working process of this utility model are as follows:

[0026] When the locking structure needs to be loosened, the locking rod 4 is rotated. Due to the restrictive relationship between the boss on the upper end face of the upper pressure plate 8 and the circular pit at the lower part of the tailstock body 1, only the boss is allowed to move up and down, and it is not allowed to rotate. This is the existing technology. Since the left-handed thread segment 5 and the right-handed thread segment 6 are respectively engaged with the threads of the upper pressure plate 8 and the lower pressure plate 9, the upper pressure plate 6 and the lower pressure plate 7 move in opposite directions. Since the upper shoulder of the locking rod 4 is axially fixed in the embedded groove, the upper pressure plate 6 and the lower pressure plate 7 both leave the locking rail, thereby relaxing the entire locking structure.
