[0030] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, a mechanism for automatic micro-feeding of axis, including support 1, support 1 is fixed on machine tool bed 100, still include the hydraulic linear cylinder, template device, lever device, signaling device and electrical control system on support 1.

[0032] Hydraulic linear cylinder is mainly composed of cylinder 21, left cylinder cover 22, right cylinder cover 23 and piston rod 24. Among them, the cylinder 21 is preferably rectangular structure, the piston rod 24 is double-outlet rod piston rod, that is, the both ends of the cylinder 21 extend a piston rod 24, the double-outlet rod piston rod 24 is fixed on the support 1, the cylinder 21 has a cavity (not shown in the figure) inside, the piston part of the piston rod 24 is located in the cavity and divides the cavity into left and right two chambers, the piston rod 24 is hollow rod structure, hydraulic oil enters the left and right two chambers of the hydraulic cylinder from the hollow piston rod 24 of both ends.

[0033] A profile device is installed above the cylinder block 21. The profile device comprises a profile template 31, a rotating shaft 32, and an adjusting screw 33. The left end of the profile template 31 is rotatably connected to the left cylinder head 22 through the rotating shaft 32, and the right end is supported above the right cylinder head 23 through the adjusting screw 33 with a ball head. More specifically, the profile template 31 is arranged along the direction parallel to the axis of the cylinder block 21, the rotating shaft 32 is arranged along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder block 21, and the profile template 31 can rotate around the rotating shaft 32. The adjusting screw 33 penetrates the profile template 31 and extends the ball head out of the profile template 31 so that the ball head contacts the right cylinder head 23. By rotating the adjusting screw 33, the adjusting screw 33 can be screwed in or out towards the profile template 31, so that the right end of the profile template 31 rotates upwards or downwards, thereby rotating the profile template 31 around the rotating shaft 32, so as to adjust the slope of the profile surface on the profile template 31.

[0034] The profile device further comprises a spring knob 34 and a cylindrical helical tension spring 35. The spring knob 34 and the cylindrical helical tension spring 35 are both located to the left of the adjusting screw 33. A long slot (not shown in the figure) is formed on the profile template 31 to the left of the adjusting screw 33. The spring knob 34 is located in the long slot. One end of the cylindrical helical tension spring 35 is fixed on the cylinder block 21, and the other end holds the profile template 31 through the spring knob 34, so that the ball head of the adjusting screw 33 can be tightly supported on the right cylinder head 23. In addition, by manually rotating the spring knob 34 by 90°, the spring knob 34 and the cylindrical helical tension spring 35 can be easily removed from the long slot of the profile template 31, so that the profile template 31 can be easily removed.

[0035] In combination Figure 2As shown, the lever device comprises a sliding screw 41, a lever body 42, a mandrel 43, a radial ball bearing 44, a spring plate 45, and a swing bracket 46, and the sliding screw 41 is arranged along the feed axis direction and can slide along the feed axis direction, specifically, the sliding screw 41 is connected to the machine tool bed 100, and the sliding screw 41 has a spherical surface at one end close to the die plate 31; the lever body 42 is located at the side of the sliding screw 41 close to the die plate 31, and the mandrel 43 is installed on the lever body 42, and the lever body 42 is located at the middle position of the sliding screw 41 and the mandrel 43; one end of the mandrel 43 is connected to the lever body 42 and abuts against the lever body 42, and the other end of the mandrel 43 is provided with the radial ball bearing 44 close to the die plate 31; the end of the lever body 42 close to the sliding screw 41 is connected to the swing bracket 46 fixedly installed on the machine tool bed 100 through the spring plate 45, and the end of the lever body 42 is in contact with the spherical surface of the sliding screw 41. Two cylindrical helical tension springs (not shown in the figure) are arranged on the sliding screw 41, and the sliding screw 41 (including a screw nut and a sliding seat, wherein the sliding screw 41 is connected to the sliding seat through the screw nut) is pulled by the two cylindrical helical tension springs, so that the spherical surface at the end of the sliding screw 41 is in close contact with the mandrel 43 on the lever body 42 through the lever body 42, and then the radial ball bearing 44 on the mandrel 43 is in close contact with the die plate surface of the die plate 31.

[0036] In combination Figure 3 As shown, the signaling device comprises a travel switch base 51 and a micro switch LX52 installed on the bracket 1, and the micro switch LX52 is used to send a signal to the right position when the hydraulic linear cylinder returns to the right position.

[0037] The electrical control system controls the reversing, reciprocating movement, and reciprocating speed of the hydraulic linear cylinder through the hydraulic pump, the electromagnetic valve, and the pipeline system, and controls the periodic reciprocating movement of the hydraulic linear cylinder through the electrical connection of the signaling device and the micro switch LX. It should be noted that the electrical control system, the hydraulic pump, the electromagnetic valve, and the pipeline system are not shown in the figure, and the electrical control system, the hydraulic pump, the electromagnetic valve, and the pipeline system are prior art, for example, the electrical control system can adopt the electrical control system commonly used on the machine tool: numerical control system (NC system), and the present application does not involve improvement of the electrical control system itself.

[0038] In addition, the profile surface on the profile template 31 can be provided with one or two inclined surfaces (not shown in the figure), cooperating with the electrical control system, to realize the periodic automatic micro-feeding, fine-feeding and stop-feeding modes of the sliding screw 41. Specifically, when the profile surface on the profile template 31 has a slightly larger slope, the automatic micro-feeding mode can be realized; when the profile surface on the profile template 31 has a slightly smaller slope, the automatic micro-fine-feeding mode can be realized; and when the profile surface on the profile template 31 has a slope of zero, the stop-feeding mode can be realized.

[0039] The specific implementation principle of the utility model is as follows: when the cylinder body 21 of the hydraulic linear oil cylinder moves from left to right at a certain speed, the profile template 31 is driven to move. When the profile surface on the profile template 31 has a certain slope, the centripetal ball bearing 44 pressed on the profile surface produces a slight up-and-down movement, thereby driving the lever body 42 to produce a slight forward-and-backward movement around the spring plate 45, and then the sliding screw 41 can be pushed to realize micro-feeding through the central shaft 43 on the lever body 42. When the hydraulic linear oil cylinder returns to the right position, the left cylinder cover 22 touches the micro-switch LX52 to send a signal to the control system.

[0040] Moreover, by combining the micro-feeding mechanism with the electrical control system, the micro-feeding mechanism is automatically controlled to work, and the automatic micro-feeding of the axis can be realized, which not only avoids the problem of low accuracy caused by manual errors, but also saves labor and reduces production cost.

[0041] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Any technical solution falling within the concept of the utility model belongs to the protection scope of the utility model. It should be noted that, for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, some improvements and decorations without departing from the principle of the utility model are also considered as the protection scope of the utility model.
