Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of processing features on the circumference of rotary parts, in particular to a tool fixture used for processing features on the circumference of a turret of a numerically controlled lathe. Background Art
[0002] The turret on a CNC lathe is an important accessory used on CNC lathes, also known as a CNC turret or lathe turret. It acts directly on the workpiece and is used to fix the processing tool. It is one of the core components of the CNC lathe for processing. Its functions mainly include providing main motion and feed motion, and being used for high-precision processing.
[0003] In the process of rotating parts, the turret is responsible for tool replacement and tool holding in CNC lathes. Based on the repeated positioning function of the turret, its structure, shape of each part, position accuracy and dimensional accuracy are required to be very high, all within 0.01. Normally, the turret is used in the machining center to use the B-axis rotary indexing to achieve multi-faceted processing of the workpiece. It needs to be rotated through a certain angle together with the workpiece to change the position of the processing surface and perform multi-station processing. However, this processing process requires the redetermination of the reference point or reference plane of the rotation center of the workpiece, and multiple clamping and positioning of the parts are required, which causes errors in the reference conversion and makes it difficult to maintain consistency in the reference transfer, resulting in high costs for rotary parts and low equipment space utilization, resulting in waste of machine tool resources.
[0004] Therefore, when using the turret in the vertical machining center, there are problems such as difficulty in maintaining consistent datum transfer and errors in datum conversion, which lead to high costs and waste of machine tool resources. Utility Model Content

[0054] The top screw pressing plate 5 is arranged on the heightening pad 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, its upper portion is pressed against the lower portion of the servo system 7 and is screwed to the heightened pad 1 , so as to press the heightened pad 1 of the servo system 7 against the workbench 6 by means of bolts.
[0055] The removable connection between the heightening plate 1 and the worktable 6 facilitates replacement of damaged heightening plates 1. Furthermore, a keyed connection ensures relative positioning between the heightening plate 1 and the four-axis indexing plate 2. A screw clamp 5 secures the heightening plate 1 to the worktable 6, providing excellent centering and easy assembly and disassembly. Clearance fit and threaded connections enable the transfer and transformation of the four-axis indexing plate 2, the four-axis connecting plate 3, and then the turret datum, ensuring consistent transfer and high-precision datum transformation, thereby reducing costs.
[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a key slot 11 is provided on the heightening pad 1, and the key slot 11 is key-connected to the servo system 7, and its opening direction is consistent with the direction of the workbench 6. The key slot 11 is used to form a key connection between the heightening pad 1 and the servo system 7, thereby realizing the relative positioning of the heightening pad 1 and the four-axis dividing plate 2.
[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the driver service system 7 in this embodiment includes:
[0058] The base 71 is provided on the height-increasing pad 1 and is connected to the height-increasing pad 1 by bolts.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the four-axis connecting plate 3 is respectively provided with:
[0065] The pin hole 31 is provided on the side wall of the four-axis connecting plate 3 and is connected to the pin of the lathe turret. The interior of the pin hole 31 is adapted to the positioning pin on the turret.

[0067] The boss 33 is arranged at the geometric center of the four-axis connecting disk 3 and is clearance-matched with the four-axis indexing disk 2 .
[0068] By installing the locating pin into the pin hole 31 and the hexagonal bolt into the locking hole 32, the turret and the four-axis connecting disk 3 are well locked together; the clearance fit between the boss 33 and the four-axis dividing disk 2 realizes the clearance fit between the four-axis connecting disk 3 and the four-axis dividing disk 2, thereby realizing the transmission and transformation from the four-axis dividing disk 2 to the four-axis connecting disk 3 and then to the turret datum.
[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a reference hole 21 is opened at the center of the four-axis indexing plate 2, and the reference hole 21 is clearance-matched with the boss 33, and the clearance fit between the boss 33 and the four-axis indexing plate 2 is achieved through the reference hole 21.

[0074] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking bolt 75 is a hexagonal bolt, which can lock the base 71 and the height-increasing pad 1.
[0075] Please combine Figures 1-8 The principle process of this embodiment is described as follows:
[0076] During the machining process, the rotary parts are mounted on the four-axis connecting plates. Since the four-axis indexing plate 2 is connected to the servo system 7, the servo system 7 controls the four-axis indexing plate 2 to rotate a certain angle after it is operated, thereby driving the four-axis connecting plate 3 to rotate, so that the four-axis indexing plate 2 can accurately divide the rotation angle. When rotating the parts, it is only necessary for the servo system 7 to control the four-axis indexing plate to rotate and then drive the four-axis connecting plate 3 to rotate, so that the rotary parts can be rotated a certain angle, thereby achieving the machining of the features on the circumference of the rotary parts to meet the dimensional requirements of the product drawings. In this way, the four-axis features of the rotary parts can be processed on the vertical machining center through one-time clamping, avoiding multiple clamping and positioning of parts. By increasing the pad 1, the four-axis connecting plate 3, the four-axis indexing plate 2 and the top screw pressure plate 5, one-time positioning and benchmarking are completed, reducing benchmark conversion errors and ensuring the consistency of benchmark transmission, thereby reducing the cost of rotary parts, improving the low utilization rate of equipment space, and reducing the waste of machine tool resources; it also expands the scope of use of the equipment and reduces labor intensity.
[0077] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the utility model and is not a limitation of the utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to this embodiment as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of protection of the utility model, they are protected by patent law.
