Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of turning and milling machining equipment, specifically relating to a turning and milling composite spindle reverse coupling mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Mill-turn machining is one of the most popular machining processes internationally. It is an advanced manufacturing technology. Mill-turn machining combines several different machining processes on a single machine tool, essentially a combination of a CNC lathe and a machining center.
[0003] In the initial state, there is a gap between the end-tooth piston and the gear ring assembly in the spindle axial direction. When turning is required, the end-tooth piston is subjected to the pressure of the oil pressure above, and the end-tooth piston presses against the gear ring assembly so that the lower end face of the end-tooth piston meshes and is fixed with the upper end face of the gear ring assembly. The pressure of the gear ring assembly will press against the bearing. The bearing is easily damaged by long-term pressure, which increases maintenance costs and requires frequent replacement, causing frequent work interruptions. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the fact that the bearings of the milling and turning spindle are subjected to oil pressure every time they are switched from milling mode to turning mode, which makes the bearings easy to be damaged, increases maintenance costs, and requires frequent replacement, causing frequent interruptions to work.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a reverse-clamping mechanism for a milling and turning composite spindle, including an end-tooth piston, a gear ring assembly, a spindle, a hydraulic cylinder, an outer sleeve, and a bushing. The gear ring assembly includes an outer positioning gear ring and an inner rotating gear ring. The outer positioning gear ring surrounds the outer side of the inner rotating gear ring. The end-tooth piston is located on the upper side of the gear ring assembly and can be pressed against the gear ring assembly so that the lower end face of the end-tooth piston meshes and is fixed with the upper end face of the gear ring assembly.
[0006] The sleeve includes a radially distributed mounting portion and a reverse-threaded portion. Along the axial direction of the main shaft, the sleeve is located between the outer sleeve and the hydraulic cylinder. The mounting portion has a through hole near its outer edge, and the outer sleeve has a threaded blind hole near its outer edge. The through hole and the threaded blind hole can be simultaneously inserted by an internal hexagon screw. The internal hexagon screw includes an axially distributed locking portion and a rod portion. The locking portion has threads on its exterior and is located inside and threadedly connected to the threaded blind hole. The axial length of the threaded blind hole is greater than the axial length of the locking portion. The rod portion is located inside the through hole, which is stepped and includes a large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion distributed vertically. A helical spring is fitted on the upper half of the rod portion. The helical spring is located in the large-diameter portion, and the lower end of the helical spring can abut against the lower wall of the large-diameter portion. The lower end of the inner rotating toothed ring and the upper end of the outer sleeve can form a receiving cavity, and the reverse-threaded portion is located inside the receiving cavity.
[0007] Preferably, the inner diameter of the threaded blind hole is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole, and the diameter of the shank is equal to the inner diameter of the through hole.
[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the inner rotating gear ring is three-step shaped, including a first step, a second step, and a third step from bottom to top along the main shaft axis, and the radial height of the first step, the second step, and the third step gradually increases. The upper end face of the outer sleeve is provided with a lower groove, the outer wall of the second step and the side wall of the third step form an upper groove, and the lower groove and the upper groove surround the receiving cavity.
[0009] Preferably, the upper end face of the hydraulic cylinder is provided with a pressure supply hole and a pressure release hole, and the circumferential surface of the hydraulic cylinder is provided with a pressure release channel and a pressure release channel. The upper end of the pressure release channel is connected to the pressure supply hole, and the lower end opening of the pressure release channel is located on the upper side of the end tooth piston. The upper end of the pressure release channel is connected to the pressure release hole, and the lower end opening of the pressure release channel is located on the lower side of the end tooth piston.
[0010] The technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] When the end-tooth piston is subjected to the pressure of the oil pressure above, it presses against the gear ring assembly, so that the lower end face of the end-tooth piston meshes and is fixed with the upper end face of the gear ring assembly. This causes the inner rotating gear ring and the spindle to move forward until the lower end face of the inner rotating gear ring hits the reverse engagement part. The reverse engagement part then acts on the outer sleeve, and the pressure of the outer sleeve then acts on the sleeve (that is, from bottom to top along the main shaft axis), causing the sleeve to press over from the back of the helical spring, compressing the helical spring and allowing the helical spring to reach its maximum load, thus playing a role in buffering pressure and preventing the pressure of the inner rotating gear ring from directly pressing on the bearing.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0024] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0025] This utility model provides a reverse-threading mechanism for a milling and turning composite spindle, including an end-tooth piston 1, a gear ring assembly 2, a spindle 3, a hydraulic cylinder 4, an outer sleeve 5, and a sleeve 6. The gear ring assembly 2 includes an outer positioning gear ring 21 and an inner rotating gear ring 22, with the outer positioning gear ring 21 surrounding the outer side of the inner rotating gear ring 22. The sleeve 6 includes a radially distributed mounting portion 61 and a reverse-threading portion 62. Along the spindle axis, the sleeve 6 is located between the outer sleeve 5 and the hydraulic cylinder 4. The mounting portion 61 has a through hole 611 near its outer edge, and the outer sleeve 5 has a threaded blind hole 51 near its outer edge. The through hole 611 and the threaded blind hole 51 can be simultaneously inserted by a hexagon socket screw 7. The hexagon socket screw 7 includes axially distributed... The locking part 71 and the rod part 72 are provided. The locking part 71 is threaded on the outside. The locking part 71 is located in the threaded blind hole 51 and is threadedly connected to the threaded blind hole 51. The axial length of the threaded blind hole 51 is greater than the axial length of the locking part 71. The rod part 72 is located in the through hole 611. The through hole 611 is stepped and includes a large diameter part 611a and a small diameter part 611b distributed vertically. The upper half of the rod part 72 is fitted with a helical spring 8. The helical spring 8 is located in the large diameter part 611a. The lower end of the helical spring 8 can abut against the lower wall surface of the large diameter part 611a. The lower end of the inner rotating toothed ring 22 and the upper end of the outer sleeve 5 can form a receiving cavity. The reverse buckle part 62 is located in the receiving cavity.
[0026] The mounting part 61 of the sleeve 6 in this utility model is mainly used to insert the internal hexagon screw 7. The main function of the internal hexagon screw 7 is to connect the sleeve 6 and the outer sleeve 5 together, but the two are not completely fixed. In the initial state, there is a gap between the end-tooth piston 1 and the toothed ring assembly 2 in the axial direction of the main shaft. When the end-tooth piston 1 is subjected to the pressure of the upper oil pressure, it presses against the toothed ring assembly 2, so that the lower end face of the end-tooth piston 1 meshes and fixes with the upper end face of the toothed ring assembly 2. This causes the inner rotating toothed ring 22 and the spindle 3 to move forward until the lower end face of the inner rotating toothed ring 22 hits the reverse engagement part 62. The reverse engagement part 62 then acts on the outer sleeve 5, and the pressure of the outer sleeve 5 then acts on the sleeve 6 (that is, from bottom to top along the axial direction of the main shaft), so that the sleeve 6 presses over from the back side of the helical spring 8, compressing the helical spring 8, so that the helical spring 8 reaches the maximum load and plays a role in buffering pressure. If the reverse engagement function is designed, the oil pressure of the hydraulic cylinder 4 will be directly transmitted to the bearing through the end-tooth piston 1, which will reduce the bearing life and performance.
[0027] In order to prevent interference with the locking part 71 when the pressure of the outer sleeve 5 acts on the sleeve 6 (that is, from bottom to top along the main shaft axis) as the outer sleeve 5 moves from bottom to top, there is a buffer gap between the end face of the locking part 71 and the lower wall of the threaded blind hole 51 in the initial state.
[0028] To ensure accurate positioning of the socket head cap screw 7 when it is inserted into the threaded blind hole 51, the inner diameter of the threaded blind hole 51 is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole 611, and the diameter of the shank 72 is equal to the inner diameter of the through hole 611. When the lower end face of the shank 72 abuts against the upper end face of the outer sleeve 5, the socket head cap screw 7 is installed in the threaded blind hole 51 and the through hole 611.
[0029] The outer wall of the inner rotating gear ring 22 is three-step in shape, including a first step 221, a second step 222 and a third step 223 from bottom to top along the main axis, and the radial height of the first step 221, the second step 222 and the third step 223 gradually increases. The upper end face of the outer sleeve 5 is provided with a lower groove 52. The outer wall of the second step 222 and the side wall of the third step 223 form an upper groove 9. The lower groove 52 and the upper groove 9 form a receiving cavity.
[0030] When the end-tooth piston 1 engages with both the outer positioning gear ring 21 and the inner rotating gear ring 22, the spindle and the outer sleeve 5 are relatively fixed, and the milling-turning spindle is used for turning. When the end-tooth piston 1 moves upward and resets, it disengages from the outer positioning gear ring 21 and the inner rotating gear ring 22. Then, when the motor drives and rotates the pulley, the spindle 3 rotates within the outer sleeve 5, and the milling-turning spindle is used for milling.
[0031] The upper end face of the hydraulic cylinder 4 is provided with a pressure supply hole 10 and a pressure release hole 11. The circumferential surface of the hydraulic cylinder 4 is provided with a pressure release channel 12 and a pressure release channel 13. The upper end of the pressure release channel 12 is connected to the pressure supply hole 10, and the lower end opening of the pressure release channel 12 is located above the end tooth piston 1. The upper end of the pressure release channel 13 is connected to the pressure release hole 11, and the lower end opening of the pressure release channel 12 is located below the end tooth piston 1. When the spindle needs to perform turning, hydraulic oil is introduced into the pressure supply hole 10. The hydraulic oil is input into the pressure release channel 12 and then comes out from the lower end of the pressure release channel 12, pressing down the end tooth piston 1. When the spindle needs to perform milling, hydraulic oil or gas is introduced into the pressure release hole 11. The hydraulic oil or gas is input into the pressure release channel 13 and then comes out from the lower end of the pressure release channel 13, causing the end tooth piston 1 to move upward and reset.
[0032] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
