Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of attitude control mechanism technology, and in particular to an angle adjustment shaft head with dual angle adjustment. Background Technology
[0002] CNC engraving machines typically consist of a bed, cutting tools, workpiece clamping, and a moving platform. Most current CNC engraving machines operate on four axes, including horizontal X-axis movement, horizontal Y-axis movement, Y-axis movement of the tool holder, and workpiece rotation. However, four-axis CNC engraving machines cannot continuously perform multi-faceted machining on a workpiece, requiring multiple clamping and program adjustments, wasting significant manpower and time. Therefore, five-axis CNC engraving machines have gradually emerged in the market. Specifically, an angle-adjusting spindle is installed between the cutting tool and the tool holder. This spindle allows for changing the angle of the cutting tool, thereby enabling multi-faceted machining of the workpiece. For example, the angle-adjusting spindle disclosed in patent number "201410086963.8," entitled "Five-Axis CNC Engraving Machine Swing Head," includes a fixed frame, a grinding head mounting frame, and a grinding head. The fixed frame is used for fixed connection to the tool holder, and the grinding head mounting frame is connected to and mounted on the fixed frame. A servo motor is mounted on the fixed frame, and a synchronous belt connects the servo motor to the grinding head, transmitting power to the grinding head via the synchronous belt. However, the aforementioned angle-adjusting shaft head can only adjust the swing angle of the grinding head, and the adjustment angle is limited, making it unable to handle more complex workpiece processing. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a dual-angle adjustable head to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A dual-angle adjustable shaft head includes a shaft head housing and a shaft head body. The shaft head housing includes a U-shaped support arm section and a rotating connecting section. The shaft head body is located between two supports of the U-shaped support arm section. The shaft head body is fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft perpendicular to the axis of the shaft head body. The two ends of the first rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the two supports of the U-shaped support arm section, respectively. A first angle adjustment mechanism is provided in the U-shaped support arm section and is connected to the first rotating shaft. A second rotating shaft and a second angle adjustment mechanism are provided in the rotating connecting section. The second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting section.

[0006] Furthermore, the first angle adjustment mechanism includes a first worm gear, a first worm meshing with the first worm gear, and a first drive mechanism for driving the first worm gear to rotate. The first worm gear is coaxially and fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft, and the first worm gear is rotatably connected to the U-shaped support arm section. The second angle adjustment mechanism includes a second worm gear, a second worm meshing with the second worm gear, and a second drive mechanism for driving the second worm gear to rotate.
[0007] Furthermore, the axis of the second rotating shaft is perpendicular to the axis of the first rotating shaft, and the axis of the first rotating shaft is perpendicular to the plane in which the axis of the second rotating shaft and the axis of the shaft head body are located.
[0008] Furthermore, the first driving mechanism includes a first motor that drives the first worm to rotate. The first motor drives the first worm through a first reduction gear set, and the axis of the output shaft of the first motor is parallel to the axis of the first worm.
[0009] Furthermore, the second drive mechanism includes a second motor that drives the second worm to rotate. The second motor drives the second worm through a second reduction gear set, and the axis of the output shaft of the second motor is parallel to the axis of the second worm.
[0010] Furthermore, both the second motor and the first motor are located between the second worm gear and the shaft head body.
[0011] Furthermore, the first rotating shaft is connected to the U-shaped support arm section via a first bearing, and the second rotating shaft is connected to the rotating connecting section via a second bearing.
[0012] Furthermore, the first worm gear is connected to the U-shaped support arm section via a first bearing, and the second worm gear is connected to the rotating connecting section via a second bearing.

[0014] Furthermore, a first reduction mechanism is provided between the output shaft of the first motor and the first worm gear, and a reduction mechanism is provided between the output shaft of the second motor and the second worm gear.
[0015] Therefore, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] The dual-angle adjustable shaft head of this utility model can swing the shaft head body through the first angle adjustment mechanism and the first rotating shaft to achieve adjustment in the first angle. The shaft head housing can be rotated as a whole through the second angle adjustment mechanism and the second rotating shaft to drive the shaft head body to rotate and achieve adjustment in the second angle. After the machine tool is installed on the dual-angle adjustable shaft head, the first angle and the second angle can be combined to handle more complex workpiece processing.
[0017] The dual-angle adjustable shaft head of this utility model has an axis of the first rotating shaft perpendicular to the plane where the axis of the second rotating shaft and the axis of the shaft head body are located, so that when the shaft head housing rotates, the shaft head body will rotate along with the shaft head housing.
[0018] The dual-angle adjustable shaft head of this utility model has a reasonable and compact arrangement of various mechanisms inside the shaft head housing, which can effectively save internal space of the shaft head housing and reduce the volume of the worm gear transmission adjustable shaft head.
[0019] The angle-adjusting shaft head of this utility model adopts a worm gear transmission method for angle adjustment. Compared with belt, gear and other transmission methods, it has a compact structure, smooth transmission, low noise, and a large speed ratio that can achieve self-locking performance. Its application range can be further expanded and its manufacturing cost is relatively low.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

The shaft head housing 1 includes a U-shaped support arm section and a rotating connection section. The shaft head body 2 is located between the two supports of the U-shaped support arm section. A first rotating shaft 3 perpendicular to the axis of the shaft head body 2 is fixedly connected to the shaft head body 2. The two ends of the first rotating shaft 3 are rotatably connected to the two supports of the U-shaped support arm section, respectively. A first angle adjustment mechanism is provided in the U-shaped support arm section and is connected to the first rotating shaft 3. A second rotating shaft 9 and a second angle adjustment mechanism connected to the second rotating shaft 9 are provided in the rotating connection section.

Through the second angle adjustment mechanism and the second rotating shaft 9, the shaft head housing 1 can be rotated as a whole to drive the shaft head body 2 to rotate and achieve adjustment in the second angle.
