Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of swing arm structure technology, and more specifically to a swing arm structure for a five-axis CNC grinding machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of modern manufacturing, the requirements for the machining precision and complexity of parts are increasing. Especially in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and precision mold making, many key components have complex curved shapes and high-precision dimensional tolerances. For example, aero-engine blades have complex shapes and require precise surface grinding to meet aerodynamic performance requirements; some precision components of automotive engines also require high-precision grinding on complex curved surfaces. Traditional three-axis CNC grinding machines, due to their limited degrees of freedom, cannot meet the machining needs of these complex curved surfaces. Five-axis CNC grinding machines have emerged to address this need. They can achieve arbitrary tool orientation adjustment in space through the linkage of five coordinate axes, thereby enabling efficient and precise machining of complex-shaped workpieces. The swing arm structure, as a key component of the five-axis CNC grinding machine, plays a crucial role in realizing the five-axis linkage function of the grinding machine.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 206764505 discloses a U-shaped swing arm structure for a five-axis CNC grinding machine, including a swing arm, a base, and a column mounted perpendicular to the base. A fixed plate is provided on one side of the column, and a servo motor is provided on the other side. A rotary worktable driven by the servo motor is fixedly mounted on the fixed plate, and the rotary worktable is connected to an electric spindle via the swing arm control. This invention features low cost, simple structure, and convenient operation. The rotary worktable uses a cycloidal pinwheel reducer, which has the characteristics of large transmission ratio, high rotational efficiency, large load-bearing capacity, and small return clearance, making it suitable for mass production and increasing the service life of the entire swing arm structure while maintaining high precision.

[0004] The aforementioned five-axis CNC grinding machine's swing arm structure cannot rotate the entire swing arm structure when the swing arm angle needs to be rotated during workpiece processing, thus lacking high adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a swing arm structure for a five-axis CNC grinding machine. By installing the up-and-down moving device and the left-and-right moving device with the rotary motion device, the swing arm structure has high performance, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A rotary motion device, on which a left-right moving device is connected, and on which a up-down moving device is connected;

[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, each end of the movable seat is provided with a top plate, and the top plates at both ends are respectively provided with a bearing seat one and a bearing seat two. The other end of the bearing seat one is connected to a rotary motor three. The rotary motor three is connected to a threaded rod two through the bearing seat one. The threaded rod two is threadedly connected to the threaded seat, and its other end is connected to the bearing seat two.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] In this utility model, when rotary machining is required, the mounting plate is first installed on the five-axis CNC grinding machine. The rotary motor on the upper surface of the mounting plate drives the motor gear to rotate, the motor gear drives the gear seat to rotate, and the gear seat drives the swing arm structure to rotate.

The threaded rod two is threadedly connected to the threaded seat, and the slide seat two at the bottom of the threaded seat slides with the slide rail two to achieve vertical lateral movement processing. The vertical position of the swing arm can be adjusted in real time according to the wear degree of the grinding wheel to ensure that the grinding wheel can always process the workpiece in the correct position and size, and maintain stable processing accuracy.
