TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to lathe technical field especially relates to a variable angle high frequency milling power head. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous progress of industrial technology, the shape of workpieces processed by CNC lathes is increasingly complex, and is no longer limited to traditional axisymmetric shapes, but includes non-axisymmetric features such as cross holes and inclined holes at different angles. In order to cope with these complex processing needs, lathe manufacturers have developed high-end CNC lathes with B-axis. The B-axis is a rotating shaft installed on the tool holder, which can install a power tool to realize milling and drilling inclined holes at different angles. This configuration makes CNC lathes have more powerful and flexible processing capabilities, especially suitable for processing complex workpieces with high added value, such as medical devices, complex valves, and engine fuel injectors. However, the existing B-axis technology has some significant shortcomings and deficiencies.
[0003] One reason is that lathes with B-axis configuration are high-end models, expensive, and most enterprises will not choose to purchase such top-of-the-line equipment if they do not have enough orders for high-value-added workpieces. Another is that due to system and other factors, existing mid-end lathe models usually cannot be upgraded to add B-axis functionality. Because the B-axis is large in size, it can usually only be configured at the main shaft end of the lathe, and the back shaft end cannot be configured with a B-axis due to space limitations. If inclined holes need to be processed at the back shaft end, although it is possible to install a tool in the direction of the B-axis towards the back shaft end, in this case, the processing at the back shaft end will occupy the time of the main shaft end, resulting in longer processing cycles for workpieces and reducing production efficiency.
[0004] Taking a fuel injector workpiece of our company as an example, it has three 33° inclined holes for oil injection, and the processing of these inclined holes is a difficult point. According to the process arrangement, these inclined holes need to be processed at the back shaft end to evenly distribute the processing load between the main shaft end and the back shaft end, thereby achieving a shorter processing cycle. However, our existing equipment does not have a B-axis, and the order quantity of this workpiece is not sufficient to support the purchase of a new device. Therefore, we can only split the machining process into two steps: first, process the blank without inclined holes on the lathe, and then process the inclined holes on the machining center equipment. This processing method not only has low production efficiency, but also causes large fluctuations in the relevant shape and position tolerances of the workpiece due to two clamping operations, resulting in poor quality. In addition, the power head of the B-axis usually uses a motor to drive a gear, and its maximum speed is generally not more than 6000 rpm. Since the diameter of the inclined hole is usually less than 3 mm, the processing line speed of the tool is limited by the speed, resulting in low processing efficiency. SUMMARY
[0005] The utility model discloses a high frequency mill power head of variable angle suitable for installing in back shaft end, to solve the inconvenient installation of B axis in back shaft end, high use cost, low processing efficiency in the foregoing background art, and the oblique hole of oil nozzle workpiece can be processed on lathe one time.
