Description

[0002] In the field of modern precision machining, Swiss-type lathes are widely used in the production of parts in many industries such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, and medical devices due to their high precision and high efficiency machining capabilities.
[0003] As a key component of the Swiss-type lathe, the guide sleeve plays a crucial role in ensuring machining accuracy and improving machining quality. During the machining process of the Swiss-type lathe, the bar stock needs to be precisely guided and supported by the guide sleeve to ensure that it can maintain a stable position and movement trajectory during high-speed rotation and cutting, thereby achieving high-precision machining requirements.
[0004] Currently, existing guide sleeves for Swiss-type lathes have some shortcomings: some guide sleeves have unreasonable lubrication methods and imperfect lubricant storage and supply mechanisms. Often, the lubrication effect is acceptable in the initial stage of processing, but as the processing time increases, the lubricant is easily squeezed out or exhausted, and cannot continuously provide good lubrication for the contact parts between the bar stock and the guide sleeve. This leads to an increase in the coefficient of friction, resulting in problems such as dry friction and heat generation. This not only affects the processing accuracy but may also damage the bar stock and the guide sleeve. Therefore, a guide sleeve for Swiss-type lathes is proposed to solve the above problems.

[0026] 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.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a guide sleeve for a Swiss-type machine, comprising a lower conductor 1. The surface of the bottom end of the lower conductor 1 has an external threaded groove. This external threaded groove at the bottom end allows for precise fixing of the entire assembly in the corresponding working position on the machine, ensuring the sleeve's positional stability during high-speed operation and processing, preventing displacement during processing, and thus guaranteeing processing accuracy. The surface of the lower conductor 1 also has stress grooves. When the sleeve is subjected to external pressure, tension, or other loads, the stress grooves act as a buffer, altering the stress distribution.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 A connecting port 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the lower conductor 1, and a connecting sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the connecting port 2. The lower conductor 1, the connecting port 2, and the connecting sleeve 3 are integrally cast, which increases the overall stability and avoids the risk of high-temperature fracture during high-speed rotation caused by welding. Opening grooves 4 are provided on the surfaces of both the connecting sleeve 3 and the connecting port 2. Multiple sets of annular grooves 5 are provided on the inner sidewalls of the connecting port 2 and the connecting sleeve 3. The annular grooves 5 allow the internal cavity to store a certain amount of lubricant. When the bar is inserted... After entering the interior, the lubricant seeps out from the annular groove 5, forming a lubricating layer between the bar and the whole. The presence of the annular groove 5 also allows the lubricant to continuously lubricate the contact parts when the bar moves axially, avoiding dry friction due to the extrusion of lubricant. The inner sidewalls of the connecting port 2 and the connecting sleeve 3 are provided with straight grooves 6. By providing straight grooves 6, the lubricant can be guided to flow better in the axial direction of the bar. The straight grooves 6 are connected to multiple sets of annular grooves 5. The connection between the two allows the lubricant to be automatically replenished through the annular grooves 5 when the straight grooves 6 are replenished.
[0029] Reference Figure 3 The lower conductor 1 includes a strong base wear-resistant layer 17, which is made of tungsten carbide coating. Tungsten carbide coating has high hardness and wear resistance, effectively enhancing the wear resistance of the conductor sleeve substrate. A primary anti-oxidation layer 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the strong base wear-resistant layer 17. The primary anti-oxidation layer 16 is made of titanium aluminum nitride coating, which has good chemical stability and anti-oxidation wear performance, and also high hardness. It serves to prevent oxidation of the conductor sleeve substrate and provides initial wear resistance at the bottom layer. A mid-range friction-reducing and anti-sticking layer 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the primary anti-oxidation layer 16. The mid-range friction-reducing and anti-sticking layer 15 is made of DLC (dioxanone carbide). The diamond-like carbon coating further reduces friction and wear between the bar and the guide sleeve in the middle layer, while preventing the bar material from sticking to the guide sleeve. A high-temperature wear-stabilizing layer 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the middle friction-reducing and anti-sticking layer 15. The high-temperature wear-stabilizing layer 14 is made of silicon nitride coating, which has excellent high-temperature stability, wear resistance and self-lubrication. It can effectively reduce the coefficient of friction and improve the service life of the guide sleeve. A wear-resistant fine guiding layer 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the high-temperature wear-stabilizing layer 14. The wear-resistant fine guiding layer 13 is made of diamond coating, which has extremely high hardness, extremely low coefficient of friction and excellent wear resistance and chemical stability. As the top layer coating, it can provide the ultimate wear resistance, enabling the guide sleeve to be used in the harshest processing environment. At the same time, its low coefficient of friction is also conducive to the precise guidance of the bar stock. The top of the outer wall of the wear-resistant fine guiding layer 13 is fixedly connected to a high-temperature anti-oxidation layer 12. The high-temperature anti-oxidation layer 12 is made of aluminum chromium nitride coating, which has high hardness and good high-temperature anti-oxidation performance. At high temperature, it can form a dense aluminum oxide and chromium oxide protective film, effectively preventing further oxidation and wear of the coating, while also having a certain self-lubricating property. The upper layer is mainly used to cope with high temperature and oxidation environment to ensure the stability of the guide sleeve during long-term high temperature processing. The top of the outer wall of the high temperature anti-oxidation layer 12 is fixedly connected to the outer sealing layer 11. The outer sealing layer 11 is made of boron nitride wearable sealing coating, which is composed of a metal skeleton phase and a high porosity non-metallic phase. The metal phase ensures the thermal stability, erosion resistance and adhesion to the substrate of the coating, while the non-metallic phase plays a role in reducing friction, anti-adhesion and self-lubrication, which can make the rotating parts fit better inside the coating, thereby improving the sealing performance. As the uppermost coating, it can improve the sealing performance in some guide sleeve application scenarios with high sealing requirements and reduce the impact of the gap between the bar and the guide sleeve on the processing accuracy.
[0030] Working Principle: Multiple annular grooves 5 are formed on the inner sidewalls of the connecting port 2 and the connecting sleeve 3. The cavities formed inside these grooves can store a certain amount of lubricant (such as grease). When the bar is inserted into the guide sleeve, the contact and relative movement between the bar and the inner wall of the guide sleeve will compress the lubricant in the annular grooves 5, causing the lubricant to seep out from the annular grooves 5 and form a lubricating layer between the bar and the guide sleeve. This lubricating layer greatly reduces the friction between the bar and the guide sleeve, reduces the degree of wear, and facilitates the smooth axial movement of the bar within the guide sleeve. Moreover, even if some lubricant is squeezed out during the continuous axial movement of the bar, the lubricant stored in the annular grooves 5 can continue to seep out to replenish it, so that the lubricating layer can be continuously maintained, avoiding damage caused by… In the event of dry friction due to lubricant depletion, the straight groove 6, connected to multiple annular grooves 5, ensures optimal lubrication for the movement of the bar stock. Its primary function is to guide the lubricant to flow more effectively along the axial direction of the bar stock. When grease is added to the straight groove 6, it flows along the groove's direction and automatically passes through the connected annular grooves 5, replenishing the lubricant within them. This allows for convenient and even distribution of lubricant to each annular groove 5, whether initially added or replenished during use. This ensures sufficient lubrication of the entire guide sleeve's inner wall in contact with the bar stock, further optimizing lubrication and improving the guide sleeve's performance and service life.
[0031] The guide sleeve used in Swiss-type lathes features multiple coatings, each with a crucial function. The strong base wear-resistant layer 17 (tungsten carbide coating) provides a wear-resistant foundation, reduces substrate wear, and maintains guiding function. The initial anti-oxidation layer 16 (titanium aluminum nitride coating) prevents substrate oxidation and shares the friction load. The intermediate friction-reducing and anti-sticking layer 15 (DLC diamond-like carbon coating) reduces friction, prevents adhesion, and ensures guiding. The high-temperature lubrication and stabilization layer 14 (silicon nitride coating) provides stable lubrication at high temperatures, increasing service life. The wear-resistant and precise guiding layer 13 (diamond coating) provides wear resistance and precise guiding in harsh environments. The high-temperature anti-oxidation layer 12 (aluminum chromium nitride coating) forms a protective film with self-lubricating properties, improving stability. The outer sealing layer 11 (boron nitride wear-resistant sealing coating) enhances sealing performance and optimizes working and machining accuracy. All coatings work together to ensure the guide sleeve meets the high precision, long service life, and stable operation requirements of the Swiss-type lathe.
