Detailed Implementation

[0037] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0038] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a lathe tailstock shifting structure, including a hydraulic cylinder 1, and also including an adapter plate 3 and a fixing rod 4.

[0039] Furthermore, by Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, two hydraulic cylinders 1 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the lathe tailstock, the adapter plate 3 is fixed to the piston rod ends of the two hydraulic cylinders 1, and the fixing rod 4 is fixed to the middle of the adapter plate 3, which is used to connect and drive the lathe center to move. With the above solution, when in use, the two hydraulic cylinders 1 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the lathe tailstock, the lathe center is connected to the fixing rod 4, and is synchronously driven by the two hydraulic cylinders 1, which can also operate stably in high-load application scenarios.

[0040] It should be noted that for the design of a conventional single hydraulic cylinder 1, the hydraulic cylinder 1 is usually fixed to the inner side or the outer wall of the tailstock of the lathe. When the hydraulic cylinder 1 is fixed to the inner side of the tailstock of the lathe, because the hydraulic cylinder 1 is internally installed, although the stability of the hydraulic cylinder 1 can be guaranteed, the connection of the hydraulic oil pipe and the maintenance of the hydraulic cylinder 1 are more troublesome. When the hydraulic cylinder 1 is fixed to the outer wall of the tailstock of the lathe, although the connection of the hydraulic oil pipe and the maintenance of the hydraulic cylinder 1 are convenient, the hydraulic cylinder 1 is in a suspended state, and the stability is poor. Especially for high-load application scenarios, the hydraulic cylinder 1 is prone to vibration during operation.

[0041] The two hydraulic cylinders 1 of this utility model are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the tailstock of the lathe, with a high degree of fit, which is beneficial for the connection of hydraulic oil pipes and the maintenance of hydraulic cylinders 1, and can also ensure the stability of hydraulic cylinders 1.

[0042] Preferably, by Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, it also includes: adjusting nuts 5, which have external threads on the fixing rod 4, and adjusting nuts 5 are distributed on both sides of the adapter plate 3 and installed on the fixing rod 4 by thread engagement. With the above solution, the present invention uses two adjusting nuts 5 to install and fix the fixing rod 4, which is convenient to install and has high stability. Furthermore, by rotating the two adjusting nuts 5, the initial position of the fixing rod 4 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the initial position of the lathe center.

[0043] Preferably, by Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, an auxiliary fixing mechanism 6 is also included, and the auxiliary fixing mechanism 6 includes a steel plate 61, which is fixed between the piston rods of the two hydraulic cylinders 1. With the above solution, the present invention uses a steel plate 61 to connect the piston rods of the two hydraulic cylinders 1 to ensure that the two hydraulic cylinders 1 move synchronously.

[0044] Optionally, by Figures 1-3 As shown in this embodiment, the auxiliary fixing mechanism 6 further includes a locking bolt 62 and a locking nut 63. Two steel plates 61 are symmetrically distributed, and arc-shaped clamping grooves 611 are provided on the opposite surfaces of the two steel plates 61. The locking bolt 62 passes through the steel plate 61, and the locking nut 63 is installed on the protruding end of the locking bolt 62 by thread engagement. With the above solution, the present invention uses the locking bolt 62 and the locking nut 63 to fix the two steel plates 61 and clamp the piston rods of the two hydraulic cylinders 1 between the two steel plates 61, which is convenient to install and has high stability.

[0045] Preferably, by Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment also includes: an anti-slip rubber pad 612, which is bonded and fixed to the inner wall of the arc-shaped clamping groove 611. The anti-slip rubber pad 612 is flexible. When the two steel plates 61 clamp the piston rods of the two hydraulic cylinders 1, the anti-slip rubber pad 612 will shrink, which further improves the stability.

[0046] Preferably, by Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also includes: a limiting box 7, a connecting plate 8, a guide rod 9, and a balance spring 10. The adapter plate 3 has a through hole 31. The limiting box 7 is fixed on the adapter plate 3 at the position corresponding to the through hole 31. The connecting plate 8 is located inside the limiting box 7. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 8. The guide rod 9 is fixed inside the limiting box 7 and passes through the connecting plate 8. A limiting plate 91 is fixed on the extended end of the guide rod 9. Balance springs 10 sleeved on the guide rod 9 are distributed between the inner wall of the limiting box 7 and the connecting plate 8, and between the connecting plate 8 and the limiting plate 91. With the above solution, at the moment when the two hydraulic cylinders 1 drive the lathe center to abut against the workpiece, the balance spring 10 will elastically extend and retract until the balance spring 10 is fully compressed. The lathe center firmly abuts against the workpiece, which has a buffering effect and can effectively prevent the lathe center from directly impacting the workpiece and causing mechanical damage.

[0047] Preferably, by Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer wall of the connecting plate 8 abuts against the inner wall of the limiting box 7, further improving the stability of the connecting plate 8.

[0048] Preferably, by Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment also includes a hydraulic balance valve 2, which is fixed on the hydraulic cylinder 1. When in use, the hydraulic balance valve 2 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 1 via a hydraulic oil pipe. On the one hand, it can control the flow rate of the hydraulic cylinder 1 to ensure that the oil is output at a certain speed and force. On the other hand, the hydraulic balance valve 2 can also control the pressure of the hydraulic cylinder 1 to ensure the stability and reliability of the system.

[0049] The hydraulic balance valve 2 is a very common device in hydraulic systems. The working principle of the hydraulic balance valve 2 has been fully disclosed in the existing technology, and will not be elaborated further in this article.

[0050] It should be noted that the hydraulic cylinder 1 and the hydraulic balance valve 2 are both commercially available conventional equipment. Those skilled in the art can make conventional selections according to their needs. Their working principles are common knowledge known to those skilled in the art and have been fully disclosed in the prior art, so they will not be elaborated on further in this article.

[0051] Components not described in detail in this article are existing technologies.

[0052] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: In use, the hydraulic displacement structure of this utility model has two hydraulic cylinders 1 symmetrically fixed on both sides of the lathe tailstock, and the lathe tip is connected to the fixed rod 4. It is driven synchronously by the two hydraulic cylinders 1, and can operate stably even in high-load application scenarios.

[0053] In addition, two hydraulic cylinders 1 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the lathe tailstock. On the one hand, this effectively avoids the problem of inconvenient maintenance when the internal installation is installed. On the other hand, it avoids the problem of poor stability when the hydraulic cylinder 1 is fixed to the tail end of the lathe tailstock.

[0054] A hydraulic balance valve 2 is installed on the hydraulic cylinder 1. When in use, the hydraulic balance valve 2 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 1 through a hydraulic oil pipe. On the one hand, it can control the flow rate of the hydraulic cylinder 1 to ensure that the oil is output at a certain speed and force. On the other hand, the hydraulic balance valve 2 can also control the pressure of the hydraulic cylinder 1 to ensure the stability and reliability of the system.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
