Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical parts processing equipment, and in particular to a milling and turning composite machining center suitable for irregularly shaped polyhedrons. Background Technology

[0002] Valves are control components in fluid transport systems. Engine housings and gearbox housings are core components of transmission systems in aerospace and engineering machinery. Valves have wide applications in both industrial and civilian sectors. Housing components have extensive applications in machinery manufacturing, the automotive industry, and aerospace. The machining technology for these parts mainly includes milling, turning, boring, drilling, and tapping. These processes typically require multiple machines and tooling fixtures to complete. This traditional machining method necessitates multiple clamping and positioning of the workpiece between different machines, increasing the complexity of manual operation and leading to low machining efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing machining accuracy. Especially for complex and irregular housing components, existing machine tools have certain limitations in high-precision, integrated machining.

[0003] In actual production, this model has several drawbacks: First, frequent loading, unloading, and re-clamping between processes can easily lead to decreased processing accuracy due to repeated positioning errors. Second, the connection between equipment requires additional time and manual intervention, severely restricting processing efficiency. Third, the complex equipment layout and large space occupation make it unsuitable for the high integration and flexibility requirements of modern production. Furthermore, traditional equipment often lacks effective linkage control and processing continuity during multi-process transitions, resulting in increased production costs, reduced efficiency, and an inability to meet the stability and consistency requirements of high-precision product processing.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems in the background art and to propose a machining center suitable for milling and turning of irregularly shaped polyhedrons.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A milling and turning machining center suitable for irregularly shaped polyhedrons includes:

[0007] A base, wherein a saddle and a column are mounted on the upper surface of the base, and the saddle is slidably connected to the base, and the column is fixedly connected to the base.

[0008] An indexing plate is slidably connected to the saddle guide rail slider, and a processing part is fixed on the indexing plate;

[0009] A spindle box is slidably connected to the surface of the column. A horizontal spindle and a boring head are mounted on the spindle box. A boring tool holder is mounted on the boring head. A horizontal spindle tool magazine is mounted on the column.

[0010] Preferably, the column surface is vertically installed with a Y-axis ball screw, and the nut of the Y-axis ball screw is connected to the spindle box, and the upper end of the Y-axis ball screw is installed with a Y-axis servo motor, and the Y-axis servo motor is installed on the column.

[0011] Preferably, the column surface is vertically installed with a Y-axis ball screw, and the nut of the Y-axis ball screw is connected to the spindle box, and the upper end of the Y-axis ball screw is installed with a Y-axis servo motor, and the Y-axis servo motor is installed on the column.

[0012] Preferably, the base is installed with a plurality of Z-axis linear guides, and each Z-axis linear guide is slidably connected with a limiting slide block, and the limiting slide block is fixedly connected to the saddle.

[0013] Preferably, the base is installed with a Z-axis servo motor, and the output shaft of the Z-axis servo motor is installed with a Z-axis ball screw, and the nut of the Z-axis ball screw is connected to the saddle.

[0014] Preferably, the upper surface of the saddle is installed with a plurality of X-axis linear guides, and each X-axis linear guide is slidably connected with a slide plate, and the slide plate is connected to the index plate.

[0015] Preferably, the saddle is installed with an X-axis servo motor, and the output shaft of the X-axis servo motor is installed with an X-axis ball screw, and the nut of the X-axis ball screw is connected to the index plate.

[0016] Preferably, the boring and turning head comprises a faceplate, the boring tool holder is installed on the boring and turning head through the faceplate, the faceplate is installed with a boring tool rod, the boring and turning head is externally installed with a U-axis servo motor, and the U-axis servo motor controls the boring tool holder to perform a variable-diameter movement.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the boring and turning head has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The turning, milling, drilling and tapping of the polyhedron are completed by one-time clamping, the repeated positioning errors caused by the multiple clamping and repositioning of the workpiece in the traditional machining are avoided, the linear guides and ball screws of high precision are adopted for each shaft, and the high-performance servo motor is used, such as the cooperation of the multiple linear guides and ball screws for the Y-axis, to ensure the stability and high precision of the movement of the spindle box, so that the movement track deviation of the tool in the machining process is extremely small, and the machining precision is further ensured.

[0019] 2. Integrating multiple processing steps into one machine eliminates the need for frequent material loading, unloading, or process changes, saving significant auxiliary time. The multi-axis linkage of the X, Y, and Z axes and the indexing plate allows for quick and flexible adjustment of processing positions and angles, enabling the processing of complex shapes. Combined with the precise control of the CNC system, it can quickly respond to different processing tasks, significantly shortening processing time.

[0020] 3. Before machining, the operator only needs to clamp the workpiece on the indexing plate and then input the machining program through the CNC system. The equipment can then automatically complete all subsequent machining operations, reducing the skill requirements for the operator and minimizing human error. The CNC system can monitor the equipment's operating status in real time and automatically adjust the machining path and process parameters to ensure the stability and reliability of the machining process. For example, if tool wear is detected during machining, the system can automatically compensate for tool path wear to ensure machining accuracy.

Unique structural design, especially the indexing plate which can rotate 360 ​​degrees and can be replaced with a five-axis cradle with an angled tilt, enables all-round processing of various irregular polyhedral parts, meeting the processing needs of complex parts in different industries.
