Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of side milling head technology, and in particular to an automatic interchangeable side milling head. Background Technology
[0002] A side milling head is a machine tool accessory. When mounted on a machine tool, the tool's rotation center line can be angled with the spindle's rotation center line to machine the workpiece. Originally from Europe, it is now widely used in various fields of machining, including aerospace, automotive, and mold making. Using a milling head increases the machining range and adaptability without altering the machine tool's structure, enabling machining operations that are difficult to perform using traditional methods. It also reduces the need for repeated workpiece clamping, improving machining accuracy and efficiency. It is mainly used in machining centers and gantry milling machines. Light-duty milling heads can be housed in a tool magazine and can be freely switched between the tool magazine and the machine tool spindle. Medium and heavy-duty milling heads possess greater rigidity and torque, making them suitable for most machining needs.
[0003] Side milling heads are mainly used for machining parts. Different types of side milling heads are required for machining different parts, which necessitates the replacement of side milling heads. Currently, side milling heads are mostly handled manually for installation and replacement, resulting in poor working efficiency of the machine tool.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automatic interchangeable side milling head to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4An automatic interchangeable side milling head includes a base plate 1. An L-shaped fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. An electric push rod 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped fixing plate 2. A mounting base 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 3. Two support plates 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 1. A first motor 6 is fixedly connected to the back of one support plate 5. A lead screw 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 6. A first bearing 8 is fixedly embedded in the front of the other support plate 5. The inner ring of the first bearing 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 7. A movable opening 9 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1. A threaded block 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 7. A movable plate 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the threaded block 10. Two hydraulic push rods 12 are fixedly connected to the upper surface. The output ends of the two hydraulic push rods 12 are fixedly connected to a push plate 13. A second bearing 14 is fixedly embedded on the upper surface of the push plate 13. A rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the second bearing 14. A placement seat 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating shaft 15. A second motor 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving plate 11. A rotating rod 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 17. An embedded block 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 18. An embedded groove 20 is opened on the bottom surface of the rotating shaft 15. By using the cooperation of the first motor 6, the second motor 17, the electric push rod 3 and the hydraulic push rod 12, the installation and disassembly of the side milling head can be realized, avoiding the need for manual installation and disassembly of the side milling head.
[0022] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a control panel 21 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. Two grooves 22 are opened on the inner wall of the moving port 9. A slider 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of each groove 22. The sides of the two sliders 23 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded block 10. A storage frame 26 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. A partition 27 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage frame 26. The control panel 21 controls the first motor 6, the second motor 17, the electric push rod 3, and the hydraulic push rod 12, which facilitates the installation and removal of the side milling head. When the threaded block 10 drives the side milling head on the moving plate 11 to move, it drives the slider 23 to slide in the groove 22, ensuring the stability of the side milling head when it moves. The storage frame 26 stores different types of side milling heads, which facilitates the timely acquisition of the side milling heads.
[0023] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, four support columns 28 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 1, four positioning holes 24 are opened on the upper surface of the push plate 13, and four positioning rods 25 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving plate 11. The outer surfaces of the four positioning rods 25 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the four positioning holes 24 respectively. When the hydraulic push rod 12 drives the side milling head to rise and fall, the positioning holes 24 slide on the surface of the positioning rods 25 to ensure the stability of the side milling head when it rises and falls.
[0024] The working principle of the automatic side milling head exchange provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the side milling head is placed in the groove of the placement seat 16. Then, the first motor 6 drives the lead screw 7 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 7 drives the threaded block 10 to move, thereby moving the side milling head above the moving plate 11 to below the mounting seat 4. Then, the hydraulic push rod 12 drives the side milling head to descend until the embedding block 19 is embedded in the embedding groove 20. Then, the electric push rod 3 drives the mounting seat 4 to descend, so that the side milling head enters the mounting groove in the mounting seat 4. With the cooperation of the second motor 17, the side milling head is rotated, thereby installing the side milling head on the mounting seat 4, thus completing the installation of the side milling head. Disassembly is carried out on the same principle.
