In addition, the manufacturing of large flange camshafts involves multiple different processing processes, and the sequential nature of the processes requires that the camshaft must be transferred between different workstations in a specific order. This leads to errors during transfer due to multiple clamping and processing on different equipment.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a multi-station processing station for processing large flange camshafts is proposed. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] 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. Example 1

[0024] As attached Figures 1 to 5 The multi-station processing station for processing a large flange camshaft shown in the figure includes a chassis 1, a rotating base 7, a rotating ring 9 and a rotating worktable 12. A gearbox 2 is opened at the center of the chassis 1, and a first motor 3 is installed at the center of the lower end surface of the gearbox 2. A first-stage bevel gear shaft 4 is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the gearbox 2, and a second-stage bevel gear shaft 5 is installed on the side wall of the gearbox 2. A third-stage bevel gear shaft 6 is installed at the top of the inner cavity of the gearbox 2. One end of the third-stage bevel gear shaft 6 protrudes from the gearbox 2 and is connected to a transmission shaft 61.

[0025] The rotating base 7 is arranged at the upper end of the gear box 2, and a fixing ring 8 is installed on the outer surface of the rotating base 7. The rotating ring 9 is arranged at the upper end of the rotating base 7. A slide groove 11 is provided on the side opposite to the rotating base 7 and the opposite surface of the rotating ring 9. The opposite surface between the two sets of slide grooves 11 is installed with a ball 10. The rotating worktable 12 is installed at the upper end of the rotating ring 9. The end of the transmission shaft 61 away from the three-stage bevel gear shaft 6 is connected to the rotating worktable 12. The outer ring of the rotating worktable 12 is provided with a gear ring 13. Mounting seats 14 are provided on both sides of the chassis 1. The opposite surface of the upper end of the mounting seat 14 is provided with an installation chamber 141. The inner cavity of the installation chamber 141 is installed with a driving gear 15. The lower end of the installation chamber 141 is installed with a second motor 16. The upper end surface of the rotating worktable 12 is provided with a clamping assembly 17.

[0026] Among them: the multi-stage bevel gear shaft is installed in the gear box 2 at the center of the chassis 1, realizing the protection function of the transmission system. The first motor 3 is used as the power source, and the multi-stage bevel gear transmission system composed of the first-stage bevel gear shaft 4, the second-stage bevel gear shaft 5 and the third-stage bevel gear shaft 6 drives the transmission shaft 61 to rotate, thereby effectively converting the high-speed rotation power of the first motor 3 into a torque and speed suitable for the operation of the rotary workbench 12. The rolling ball 10 between the rotating base 7 and the rotating ring 9 can roll in the slide groove 11, and the fixed ring 8 limits the rotating base 7 in the gear box 2, carries the load of the rotating workbench 12, and evenly distributes the weight. It is distributed on several balls 10, so it has excellent load-bearing capacity and can stably support a flange camshaft weighing several tons. The contact method between the balls 10 and the slide 11 can evenly disperse the huge weight, avoiding structural deformation or damage caused by excessive local force. The second motor 16 in the mounting seat 14 on both sides of the chassis 1 drives the driving gear 15 in the mounting chamber 141, which engages with the gear ring 13 on the outer ring of the rotary worktable 12, thereby realizing the driving of the rotary worktable 12 by the second motor 16 on both sides. This bilateral driving method greatly enhances the driving torque of the rotary worktable 12, which is suitable for carrying a flange camshaft weighing several tons. Example 2

[0027] Based on Example 1, the solution in Example 1 is further detailed in combination with the following specific working methods. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, see the following description for details:

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the clamping assembly 17 includes a limiting plate 171, which is arranged at the edge of the upper end surface of the rotary worktable 12. There are two groups of limiting plates 171, and a cylinder 172 is provided on one side of one group of limiting plates 171. The telescopic end of the cylinder 172 is installed with a clamping plate 173; further, the clamping assembly 17 on the upper end surface of the rotary worktable 12 can accurately position and firmly fix the large flange camshaft. During the processing, the cylinder 172 can drive the clamping plate 173 to telescopic movement on one side of one group of limiting plates 171, so as to adjust according to the shape and size of the camshaft, and fix the camshaft against the surface of the other group of limiting plates 171.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the first-stage bevel gear shaft 4 is meshed and connected with the second-stage bevel gear shaft 5, and the second-stage bevel gear shaft 5 is meshed and connected with the third-stage bevel gear shaft 6. When the first-stage bevel gear shaft 4 rotates with the output end of the first motor 3, the second-stage bevel gear shaft 5 is linked with the third-stage bevel gear shaft 6 and drives the transmission shaft 61 to realize rotational motion; further, by reasonably designing the tooth ratio of the bevel gears at each level, the torque can be accurately amplified or reduced. In the process of machining large flange camshafts, different machining processes have different requirements for torque. When the camshaft is blank cut or rough milled, a larger torque is required to overcome the larger cutting resistance of the material. Through the transmission of multi-stage bevel gears, the torque output by the first motor 3 can be amplified according to an appropriate proportion to ensure that the rotary worktable 12 can drive the camshaft weighing several tons to rotate with sufficient force.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the second motor 16 is used to drive the driving gear 15 to rotate around its axis. The two sets of driving gears 15 are respectively engaged with the gear ring 13. When the driving gear 15 rotates with the output end of the second motor 16, the driving gear 15 is driven to engage with the gear ring 13 to realize rotational motion; further, the two sets of second motors 16 respectively drive the driving gear 15 to rotate and engage with the gear ring 13, thereby driving the rotary worktable 12 to perform bilateral auxiliary rotation to avoid difficulty in rotation due to excessive tonnage.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, four groups of clamping assemblies 17 are provided, and the four groups of clamping assemblies 17 are equidistantly spaced around the upper end surface of the rotary worktable 12, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 172 drives the clamping plate 173 to realize telescopic movement; further, the cylinder 172 drives the clamping plate 173 to realize telescopic movement, making the operation of the clamping assembly 17 faster and more efficient. When processing flange camshafts of different sizes, the position of the clamping plate 173 can be quickly adjusted to adapt to the size changes of the workpiece by simply controlling the telescopic end of the cylinder 172. The four groups of clamping assemblies 17 can all clamp the camshaft and can be accurately rotated to different processing stations through the rotation of the rotary worktable 12.

[0032] The working process of the present invention is as follows: first, the first motor 3 in the gear box 2 is started, and its output end drives the primary bevel gear shaft 4 to rotate. Since the primary bevel gear shaft 4 is meshed and connected with the secondary bevel gear shaft 5, the secondary bevel gear shaft 5 is linked therewith, and then the secondary bevel gear shaft 5 is meshed and transmitted with the tertiary bevel gear shaft 6, so that the tertiary bevel gear shaft 6 drives the transmission shaft 61 to rotate. By reasonably designing the tooth ratio of each level of bevel gear, the high-speed rotation power of the first motor 3 is converted into torque and speed suitable for the operation of the rotary worktable 12 to meet the torque requirements of different processing steps. For example, during rough processing, the torque can be amplified to overcome the large cutting resistance of the material, driving the camshaft weighing several tons to rotate, and the second motors 16 in the mounting seats 14 on both sides of the chassis 1 respectively drive the driving gear 15 to rotate around its axis, and the two sets of driving gears 15 in the mounting chamber 141 are meshed with the gear ring 13 on the outer ring of the rotary worktable 12 to achieve bilateral auxiliary rotation, thereby enhancing the rotary worktable 12 The driving torque is high, and during the rotation process, the precise control of the second motor 16 and the transmission cooperation of the driving gear 15 can assist the rotation of the rotary table 12, thereby accurately rotating to different processing positions to meet the multi-position processing requirements of the camshaft;

[0033] On the rotary table 12, four groups of clamping assemblies 17 arranged at equal distances play a role. The cylinder 172 on one side of one group of limit plates 171 drives the clamping plate 173 to extend and retract, and adjusts according to the shape and size of the camshaft, and fixes the camshaft against the surface of the other group of limit plates 171, so as to achieve precise positioning and firm fixation of the large flange camshaft. When processing camshafts of different sizes, the position of the clamping plate 173 can be quickly adjusted by controlling the telescopic end of the cylinder 172. The four groups of clamping assemblies 17 can all clamp the camshaft, and then can be accurately rotated to different processing stations through the rotation of the rotary table 12. The load of the rotary table 12 is evenly distributed on the several balls 10 through the rolling of the balls 10 in the slide groove 11 between the rotating base 7 and the rotating ring 9 and the limitation of the rotating base 7 by the fixed ring 8. The huge weight of the camshaft weighing several tons is evenly distributed to each group of balls 10, so as to bear the weight of the workpiece weighing several tons. The above is the working principle of the multi-station processing station for processing a large flange camshaft.
