Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of indexing plates, in particular to a single-arm indexing plate structure. Background Art

[0002] A dividing plate is a machine tool accessory that holds a workpiece on a chuck or between two centers, rotating, indexing, and positioning it. It is commonly used in automated equipment. During automated production, the dividing plate's accuracy directly impacts the workpiece's motion and stability. Therefore, high precision is required. However, during actual machining, impurities such as debris and particles are generated. If these impurities enter the interior of the turntable, they can affect the stable operation of the dividing plate and cause errors in machining accuracy. In the prior art, the gap between the turntable and the housing is typically kept small to prevent the entry of most impurities. However, some irregularly shaped impurities can be drawn into the gap as the turntable rotates. If not promptly removed, they will be continuously squeezed and rubbed against the turntable as it rotates, affecting its stable operation. Therefore, preventing impurities from entering the interior of the dividing plate is a question that those skilled in the art need to consider. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a single-arm indexing plate structure to solve the problem in the prior art that impurities enter the interior of the indexing plate and affect the stable operation of the indexing plate.

[0007] Preferably, a third step is provided inside the first step, and the second boss extends downward and is provided directly above the third step.

[0008] Preferably, a first inclined surface is provided on the inner side of the dustproof block close to the second step, and the first inclined surface, the step surface of the second step and the outer side surface of the second boss together form a dustproof cavity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the utility model is applied to five-axis machining equipment, specifically the fourth and fifth axis mechanisms in the machining equipment, that is, the rotation mechanisms of the A-axis and the C-axis. The workpiece to be processed is mounted on the turntable, and the first turntable and the second turntable drive the workpiece to complete the rotation of the A-axis and the C-axis. In the process of workpiece processing, a large number of impurities such as debris and particles will be generated, among which most of the impurities are removed by the flow of cooling water or the rotation of the tool; and generally, the gap between the turntable and the shell is set to be small, and most of the remaining impurities will not pass through the gap into the interior of the dividing plate, but some small and or irregular impurities will be drawn into the gap. As the turntable rotates, if the impurities cannot be rolled out with the turntable in time, they will be continuously squeezed and rubbed with the turntable in the gap, which can easily cause the turntable to shake, affecting the stability of the turntable rotation, and thus affecting the accuracy of workpiece processing. The utility model avoids the influence of impurities by designing the structure between the turntable and the shell, specifically:

[0024] A single-arm dividing plate structure includes a first turntable 1 and a second turntable 2 connected to the first turntable 1. The first turntable 1 includes a shell 3. The shell 3 is connected to a drive device 4. The drive device 4 is fixedly connected to the shell 3 and its drive end passes through the shell 3 and is connected to a turntable 6 through a reduction device 5. A connecting flange 31 is provided on the side of the shell 3. The first turntable 1 is connected to the second turntable 2 through the connecting flange 31. The second turntable 2 can drive the first turntable 1 to rotate through the connecting flange 31. An electrical channel 311 is provided on the connecting flange 31. In the first turntable 1, the control line, the power transmission line of the drive device 4, etc. are introduced through the electrical channel 311 to avoid the influence of complex lines on machining. The lower end of the shell 3 is connected to a dust cover 7. The drive device 4 is arranged in the dust cover 7 to avoid the influence of impurities on the drive device 4 during the machining process.

[0025] In this embodiment, for ease of description, the end face of the turntable 6 connected to the workpiece is referred to as the upper end or top. The upper edge of the housing 3 extends upward to form an annular first boss 32, the inner side of which forms a first step 33, on which an annular dust block 8 is disposed. The lower edge of the turntable 6 extends downward to form a second boss 61, the outer side of which forms a second step 62. The stepped surface of the second step 62 overlaps the upper end of the dust block 8, and the outer side surface of the second boss 61 contacts and engages with the dust block 8.

[0026] There is a small gap between the upper end surface of the dust block 8 and the step surface of the second step 62. This gap is relatively small, preventing most impurities from entering through this gap during workpiece processing. A first inclined surface 81 is provided on the inner side of the dust block 8 near the second step 62. The first inclined surface 81, the step surface of the second step 62, and the outer surface of the second boss 61 together form a dust chamber 8a. When a small amount of impurities are drawn into this gap during the rotation of the turntable 6, some of the impurities will be drawn out as the turntable 6 rotates; other impurities will further move inward into the dust chamber 8a. The larger space of the dust chamber 8a prevents repeated squeezing and friction between the turntable 6 and the housing 3, thereby preventing the impurities from affecting the operation of the turntable 6. Furthermore, the dust block 8 is configured to be in a contact connection with the outer side of the second boss 61. During the rotation of the turntable 6, the dust block 8 and the dust block 8 slide relative to each other, which also keeps the impurities within the dust chamber 8a and prevents them from moving further into the indexing disk. It should be noted that in long-term actual operation practice, the impurities that enter the dustproof chamber 8a are very few, and the impurities that enter therein have no effect on the operation of the turntable 6. Therefore, there is no need to clean it frequently, or even no need to clean it.

[0027] Furthermore, a third step 34 is provided inside the first step 33, and a second boss 61 extends downward and is positioned directly above the third step 34. A fourth step 35 is provided inside the third step 34, and a limiter 9 is connected to the fourth step 35. The upper end of the limiter 9 is in gap contact with the inner sidewall of the second boss 61. The extension of the second boss 61 toward the third step 34 further isolates the interior of the indexing plate from the exterior.

[0028] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and they are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
