Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cutting tool processing equipment technology, specifically to a multi-axis turning tool. Background Technology
[0002] In today's booming advanced manufacturing industry, cutting tool processing equipment technology, as a core supporting link in the field of machining, plays a crucial role in the precision manufacturing of parts. Among them, turning mechanisms, as the most common and widely used cutting tool processing components, have always attracted much attention for their technological evolution.
[0003] Traditional turning mechanism designs are largely constrained by mechanical structures and drive modes. Currently, turning tools are typically mounted on relatively fixed tool holders or slides, allowing only limited movement along a pre-defined single axis. This one-dimensional motion mode makes turning tools inadequate for machining workpieces with complex shapes. For example, when machining parts with irregular curved surfaces or multi-angle features, the turning tool struggles to achieve flexible multi-axis synchronous movement and cannot adjust the cutting position in real time according to the workpiece's complex contours. This not only easily leads to uneven surface roughness and difficulty in achieving dimensional accuracy but also results in a significant drop in production efficiency due to frequent secondary finishing processes.
[0004] Furthermore, from the perspective of adaptability to automated production, as intelligent manufacturing production lines become increasingly widespread, the collaboration between various processing steps is becoming closer, placing higher demands on the flexible processing capabilities of turning mechanisms. However, the limited movement characteristics of existing turning tools make it difficult to respond quickly and accurately to complex path commands issued by automated control systems, hindering the seamless integration of tool processing equipment into intelligent and flexible manufacturing systems, and becoming a major bottleneck restricting the machining industry from reaching higher levels of precision.
[0005] In conclusion, overcoming the multi-axis movement limitations of turning tools has become a key challenge that urgently needs to be addressed in the field of tool processing equipment technology, and it is of great significance to promoting the high-quality development of the entire manufacturing industry.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The following detailed explanation illustrates the specific implementation methods:
[0026] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown: A multi-axis turning tool includes a turning base 1, an X-axis moving mechanism 5, a Y-axis moving mechanism 4, and a turning mechanism 8.
[0027] The Y-axis moving mechanism 4 is mounted on the turning base 1, the X-axis moving mechanism 5 is mounted on the Y-axis moving mechanism 4, and the turning mechanism 8 is mounted on the X-axis moving mechanism 5; the Y-axis moving mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the turning base 1; the X-axis moving mechanism 5 is slidably connected to the Y-axis moving mechanism 4; the sliding direction of the Y-axis moving mechanism 4 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the X-axis moving mechanism 5; a forming cutting tool 804 is mounted on the turning mechanism 8.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the Y-axis moving mechanism 4 includes a Y-axis guide rail 401, a Y-axis drive device, and a Y-axis moving plate 404; the Y-axis guide rail 401 is fixedly mounted on the turning base 1; the bottom surface of the Y-axis moving plate 404 is slidably connected to the Y-axis guide rail 401; the Y-axis drive device includes a Y-axis lead screw 403 and a Y-axis drive motor 402 for rotating the Y-axis lead screw 403; the Y-axis lead screw 403 is connected to the bottom surface of the Y-axis moving plate 404 through an adapter to drive the Y-axis moving plate 404 to move.
[0029] The X-axis moving mechanism 5 includes an X-axis guide rail 501, an X-axis drive device, and an X-axis moving plate 504. The X-axis guide rail 501 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the X-axis moving plate 404. The bottom surface of the X-axis moving plate 504 is slidably connected to the X-axis guide rail 501. The X-axis drive device includes an X-axis lead screw 503 and an X-axis drive motor 502 for rotating the X-axis lead screw 503. The X-axis lead screw 503 is connected to the bottom surface of the X-axis moving plate 504 through a connector to drive the X-axis moving plate 504 to move.
[0030] In this embodiment, the X-axis lead screw 503 and the Y-axis lead screw 403 are existing C1-grade precision ground ball screws with double-end fixed pre-tension installation. The X-axis drive motor 502 and the Y-axis drive motor 402 are existing high-precision servo motors to achieve higher motion positioning accuracy.
[0031] The top surface of the turning base 1 has a first slot 101; two Y-axis guide rails 401 are provided, and are positioned opposite each other on the left and right sides of the first slot 101; the Y-axis drive device is located in the first slot 101. The top surface of the Y-axis moving plate 404 has a second slot 405; two X-axis guide rails 501 are provided, and are positioned opposite each other on the left and right sides of the second slot 405; the X-axis drive device is located in the second slot 405.

Through this groove 103, when the turning base 1 is installed on one side of the machine tool, a certain amount of moving space can be provided for the X-axis moving mechanism 5 and the Y-axis moving mechanism 4, ensuring smooth movement of the turning mechanism 8.
[0036] In practical applications, the turning base 1 can be fixed to the working platform of the machine tool, or the turning base 1 can be fixed to the column of the machine tool. The forming insert is connected to the tool holder 803, and then the tool holder 803 is fixed under the pressure block 802 to complete the installation of the forming insert.
[0037] The Y-axis drive motor 402 drives the Y-axis lead screw 403 to rotate. When the Y-axis lead screw 403 extends or retracts, it drives the Y-axis moving plate 404 to move. The Y-axis moving plate 404 then drives the X-axis moving mechanism 5 and the turning mechanism 8 mounted on it to move, thus enabling the turning mechanism 8 to move along the Y-axis. Similarly, the X-axis drive motor 502 drives the X-axis lead screw 503 to rotate. When the X-axis lead screw 503 extends or retracts, it drives the X-axis moving plate 504 to move. The X-axis moving plate 504 then drives the turning mechanism 8 mounted on it to move, thus enabling the turning mechanism 8 to move along the X-axis.
