Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal cutting processing technology, specifically a large five-axis turning and milling composite machining unit. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of industries such as aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, and military, the requirements for processing large and complex parts are increasing. High precision and high efficiency are not the only requirements. Traditional processing equipment and technologies struggle to meet these demands, presenting numerous problems. For example, most existing processing units are single-function and cannot complete multiple processes in a single setup. Integrating processes such as turning, milling, drilling, grinding, gear machining, crankshaft machining, and online measurement is difficult, leading to multiple workpiece clamping operations. This not only increases processing time and reduces efficiency but also introduces positioning errors with each clamping, affecting machining accuracy. Furthermore, in terms of motion control, the lack of effective means for precise control and real-time monitoring and feedback of each axis's movement makes it difficult to guarantee the stability of the machining process. This limits the processing quality and production efficiency of complex parts, failing to meet the stringent requirements of high-end manufacturing for parts processing. Utility Model Content

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4A large five-axis milling and turning composite machining unit includes a column 2 slidably mounted on the worktable of a CNC machine tool 1. The column 2 is slidably connected to a sliding body 4 via a first linear guide 3. One side of the sliding body 4 is slidably engaged with a machining unit 6 via a second linear guide 5. The machining unit 6 includes a double-swing milling head 9 and a first motor 10. The housing of the double-swing milling head 9 is slidably connected to one side of the sliding body 4. The first motor 10 is located on the other side of the sliding body 4 and is connected to the double-swing milling head 9 for transmission. A dual-speed reducer 16 is provided between the two. A first drive unit 7 is provided on the column 2. The first drive unit 7 includes a second motor 11 located at the end of the column 2 and a lead screw 12 rotatably connected to the column 2. 12 is connected to the second motor 11 via belt 13. The lead screw 12 is connected to the slide body 4 to drive the slide body 4 to move on the column 2. The slide body 4 is provided with a second drive unit 8, which has the same structure as the first drive unit 7. It also includes a second motor 11 and a lead screw 12. The second motor 11 in the first drive unit 7 is located inside the slide body 4. The lead screw 12 is rotatably connected to the slide body 4. The lead screw 12 is connected to the second motor 11 via belt 13. This lead screw 12 is connected to the housing of the double swing milling head 9 in the processing unit 6 to drive the double swing milling head 9 to move on the slide body 4. The lead screw 12 is equipped with a brake 14. The column 2 and the slide body 4 are both provided with a grating ruler 15.
[0022] The first motor 10 provides power to the double-swing milling head 9 via the dual-speed reducer 16. The double-swing milling head 9 can perform a variety of machining actions. Combined with the movement of each axis, it can complete multiple machining processes such as turning, milling, drilling, and grinding to meet the machining needs of complex parts. The second motor 11 in the first drive unit 7 and the second drive unit 8 respectively controls the movement of the slide body 4 on the column 2 and the double-swing milling head 9 on the slide body 4. The lead screw 12 realizes precise transmission. The grating ruler 15 detects the relative position between the column 2 and the slide body 4, and between the slide body 4 and the double-swing milling head 9 in real time, providing feedback for precise control. The brake 14 plays a role in emergency situations to ensure equipment safety.
[0023] Working process and working principle: The CNC machine tool 1's worktable starts, driving the column 2 to move to a suitable Z-axis position (assuming the direction of movement on the worktable is the Z-axis direction; this is driven by the bed-related drive mechanism in the overall equipment and is not described in detail in this document). The second motor 11 in the first drive unit 7 starts, driving the lead screw 12 to rotate via the belt 13. The lead screw 12 drives the slide body 4 to move along the first linear guide 3 on the column 2, adjusting the machining unit 6 to a suitable X-axis position (assuming the movement direction of the column 2 and slide body 4 is the X-axis direction). The grating ruler 15 on the column 2 monitors the position of the slide body 4 in real time and feeds it back to the control system. The control system adjusts the rotation of the second motor 11 according to the feedback information to ensure positioning accuracy. If an abnormality occurs, the brake 14 on the lead screw 12 immediately clamps the lead screw 12 to prevent the slide body 4 from moving out of control. The second motor 11 in the second drive unit 8 works, driving the slide body 4 to rotate via the belt. 13 drives the lead screw 12 to rotate, causing the double-swing milling head 9 to move along the second linear guide 5 on the slide body 4 and adjust to the appropriate Y-axis (assuming the sliding body 4 and the double-swing milling head 9 move in the Y-axis direction). The grating ruler 15 on the slide body 4 detects the position of the double-swing milling head 9 in real time and provides feedback to ensure machining accuracy. Similarly, in an emergency, the brake 14 on the lead screw 12 is activated. The first motor 10 starts, and the power is transmitted to the double-swing milling head 9 through the dual-speed reducer 16. The double-swing milling head 9 performs rotation and other actions according to the machining process requirements. At the same time, the A-axis and B-axis of the double-swing milling head 9 (the control method is not mentioned in detail, but can be controlled by a separate control system to adjust the angle according to the program instructions) are coordinated with the X, Y and Z-axis movements to achieve five-axis linkage machining to process parts with complex spatial curved surfaces. During the machining process, the grating ruler 15 of each axis continuously monitors the position changes to ensure machining accuracy and motion stability.
