Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining center technology, and in particular to a high-precision CNC rotary table structure used in machining centers. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing maturity of CNC technology in China, five-axis CNC machining centers have been increasingly widely used in various fields in recent years. In practical applications, whenever people encounter the challenge of efficiently and effectively machining complex, irregularly shaped parts, five-axis linkage technology is undoubtedly an important means of solving such problems. In recent years, with the vigorous development of my country's aerospace, military industry, automotive parts, and mold manufacturing industries, more and more manufacturers are inclined to seek five-axis machining centers to meet the needs of high-efficiency, high-quality machining.
[0003] A five-axis machining center can perform machining in five degrees of freedom, including linear movement along the XYZ axes and rotational movement along the AC axes. The rotational movement along the AC axes is achieved through a rotary table. For example, the utility model disclosed in announcement number "CN218556253U" entitled "Cradle-type AC Rotary Table and Five-axis Machining Center" is a cradle-type AC rotary table, including a first A-axis rotation structure, a second A-axis rotation structure, and a C-axis rotation structure. The C-axis rotation structure includes a cradle rotary table body and a worktable. The two ends of the cradle rotary table body are rotatably connected to the first A-axis rotation structure and the second A-axis rotation structure, respectively. The worktable is rotatably mounted on the cradle rotary table body, and the cradle rotary table body can drive the worktable to rotate around the C-axis. The first A-axis rotation structure includes a first A-axis rotation assembly, which includes a first disc tailstock, a first A-axis worm gear assembly, a first rotary bearing, and a first A-axis drive motor. The second A-axis rotation structure is identical in structure to the first A-axis rotation structure and is arranged in mirror image along the C-axis rotation structure. Although it can realize the rotation of the cradle rotary table body, it includes transmission components such as worm gear assemblies, which is not only complex in structure and large in size, but also has low transmission efficiency, low working accuracy, and makes it difficult to guarantee machining quality.
