Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool processing technology, and specifically to an auxiliary support for machining. Background Technology
[0002] In machine tool processing, the workpiece needs to be stably fixed to ensure the surface machining accuracy. In actual processing, for long workpieces, the method of clamping one end and supporting the other end is used for clamping. Due to the poor rigidity of the workpiece, radial shaking of the workpiece is easily caused after the machine tool starts, resulting in problems such as the inner hole diameter being too large, the outer hole surface having chatter marks, or low machining accuracy. To address this problem, Chinese patent CN221019865U discloses an auxiliary support for machining slender shafts, including a base. The top of the base is connected to a cylindrical support through symmetrically arranged support plates. A circular fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support. The fixing plate is connected to a circumferentially distributed clamping rod through a clamping mechanism. The slender shaft workpiece is placed inside the support. The principle is to use clamping rods to clamp the thin shaft workpiece from its outer surface to fix the thin shaft workpiece; however, the auxiliary support of this structure requires a cylindrical support with a larger diameter than the workpiece to be processed when processing workpieces with larger diameter and longer length. This not only increases the resistance to workpiece rotation and makes processing inconvenient, but also increases the difficulty of installation. It can be seen that the practicality of this technical solution is insufficient. Utility Model Content

[0017] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0018] In machine tool processing, the workpiece needs to be stably fixed to ensure the surface machining accuracy. In actual processing, for long workpieces, the method of clamping one end and supporting the other end is used for clamping. Due to the poor rigidity of the workpiece, radial shaking of the workpiece is easily caused after the machine tool starts, resulting in problems such as the inner hole diameter being too large, the outer hole surface having chatter marks, or low machining accuracy. To address this problem, Chinese patent CN221019865U discloses an auxiliary support for machining slender shafts, including a base 1. The top of the base 1 is connected to a cylindrical support through symmetrically arranged support plates. A circular fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support. The fixing plate is connected to a circumferentially distributed clamping rod through a clamping mechanism. The slender shaft workpiece is placed inside the support. The principle is to use clamping rods to clamp the thin shaft workpiece from its outer surface to fix the thin shaft workpiece; however, the auxiliary support of this structure requires a cylindrical support with a larger diameter than the workpiece to be processed when processing workpieces with larger diameter and longer length. This not only increases the resistance to workpiece rotation and makes processing inconvenient, but also increases the difficulty of installation. It can be seen that the practicality of this technical solution is insufficient.
[0019] In view of this, the present invention provides an auxiliary support for machining, which solves the problem in the existing related technologies that it is inconvenient to provide auxiliary support and install and use for workpieces with large diameter and long length by optimizing the structure of the auxiliary support.
[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] A preferred embodiment of the auxiliary support for machining provided by this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3: A machining auxiliary support includes a base 1, on which at least one set of first support components 2 arranged in pairs opposite each other are provided. A second support component 3 is also provided at one end of the base 1. The first support component 2 includes a limiting block 21, a rotating shaft, and a roller 22 connected to the rotating shaft via a bearing. The rotating shaft is connected to the limiting block 21. The second support component 3 includes a fixed bracket 31, a positioning vertical ruler 32, a first adjusting wheel 33, a second adjusting wheel 34, a first limiting post 35, and a second limiting post 36. The positioning vertical ruler 32 is arranged on the side of the fixed bracket 31 near the workpiece along a direction perpendicular to the base 1. A first gear 4 is provided on the end face of the first limiting post 35, and a second gear 5 is provided on the end face of the second limiting post 36. The first gear 4 and the second gear 5 mesh with the positioning vertical ruler 32. The central axes of the first adjusting wheel 33 and the second adjusting wheel 34 pass through the positioning vertical ruler 32 and are respectively connected to the first gear 4 and the second gear 5.
[0022] As described above, in this utility model, a pair of first support components 2 are used to support the workpiece from its outer surface. At the same time, a second support component 3 is provided above the first support component 2. The second support component 3 applies pressure to the surface of the workpiece and / or applies an upward pulling force to the surface of the workpiece. This not only achieves stable support for large-sized workpieces, but also simplifies the structure of the entire bracket, facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the workpiece, and improves the practicality of the auxiliary bracket for machining.
[0023] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the aforementioned first support assembly 2, the limiting block 21 is fixed on the base 1, and the roller 22 is semi-nested on the limiting block 21. The outer surface of the roller 22 abuts against the outer surface of the workpiece. When the workpiece rotates around its central axis, the roller 22 rotates synchronously. The bearing connection reduces the resistance between the roller 22 and the outer surface of the workpiece. In the aforementioned second support assembly 3, the teeth on the positioning vertical ruler 32 mesh with the gears on the first limiting post 35 and the second limiting post 36, allowing the first adjusting wheel 33 and the second adjusting wheel 34 to adjust the vertical position of the first limiting post 35 and the second limiting post 36 accordingly, thus converting rotational action into linear movement. In practice, the positioning vertical ruler 32 can be configured with toothed structures on both sides and a groove structure in the middle, so that the central axis of the first adjusting wheel 33 and the second adjusting wheel 34 can pass through. In addition, the positioning vertical ruler 32 is also used as a displacement reference when adjusting the position of the first limiting post 35 or the second limiting post 36, to determine the distance between the first limiting post 35 and the second limiting post 36, or to determine the height of the first limiting post 35 and the second limiting post 36.
[0024] In addition, the central axis of the first limiting post 35 and the central axis of the second limiting post 36 are parallel to each other; the first support component 2 applies a first support force to the workpiece to be processed, and the second support component 3 applies a second support force to the workpiece to be processed. The second support force includes a lifting force perpendicular to the base 1 upward and / or a pressure perpendicular to the base 1 downward.
[0025] In this embodiment, the second supporting force applied to the workpiece actually includes an upward pulling force, that is, a lifting force perpendicular to the base 1, which is the upward lifting force generated by the surface of the first limiting post 35 abutting against the inner surface of the workpiece, to assist the first support assembly 2 in stabilizing the workpiece on the base 1; the distance between the first limiting post 35 and the inner surface of the workpiece is adjusted by rotating the first adjusting wheel 33. Additionally, it also includes a downward pressure, that is, a downward pressure perpendicular to the base 1, which is generated by the second limiting post 36 pressing down on the outer surface of the workpiece to fix it on the base 1; wherein, the distance between the second limiting post 36 and the outer surface of the workpiece is adjusted by the second adjusting wheel 34.
[0026] In some embodiments, the aforementioned first limiting post 35 and second limiting post 36 each include a bearing and a sleeve fitted onto the bearing. The bearing and sleeve cooperate so that when the first limiting post 35 or the second limiting post 36 contacts the surface of the workpiece, the sleeve can roll as the workpiece rotates, thereby reducing the friction between the first limiting post 35 or the second limiting post 36 and the surface of the workpiece, increasing the rotational speed of the workpiece, and thus improving its processing efficiency.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary support in this embodiment also includes an axis limiter 6, which is disposed between the two first support components 2 and connected to the base 1. The ball bearings on the axis limiter 6 are configured to roll and abut against the end face of the workpiece. The axis limiter 6 serves to control the position of the workpiece from its end face. The ball bearings on the axis limiter 6, which contact the end face of the workpiece, are designed to reduce wear on the end face and decrease friction, thereby improving processing efficiency. In practice, the installation height of the ball bearings can be adjusted to accommodate end face structures of different sizes of workpieces. Specific details can be found in existing methods for adjusting the installation height of the ball bearings, which will not be elaborated upon in this embodiment.
[0028] In other embodiments, the first support component 2 of the machining auxiliary bracket provided by this utility model further includes a lead screw and a driving device. The lead screw is indirectly connected to the limiting block 21, and the driving device is drivenly connected to the lead screw. In this embodiment, the driving device controls the position of the first support component 2 on the base 1, so that the distance between two opposing first support components 2 is adjustable to accommodate multiple sizes of workpieces to be processed.
[0029] Finally, this utility model provides an auxiliary support for machining, including a base 1. The base 1 is provided with at least one set of first support components 2 arranged in pairs opposite each other. One end of the base 1 is also provided with a second support component 3. The first support component 2 includes a limiting block 21, a rotating shaft, and a roller 22 connected to the rotating shaft through a bearing. The rotating shaft is connected to the limiting block 21. The second support component 3 includes a fixed bracket 31, a positioning vertical ruler 32, a first adjusting wheel 33, a second adjusting wheel 34, a first limiting post 35, and a second limiting post 36. The positioning vertical ruler 32 is arranged on the side of the fixed bracket 31 near the workpiece along a direction perpendicular to the base 1. The end face of the first limiting post 35 is provided with a first gear 4, and the end face of the second limiting post 36 is provided with a second gear 5. The first gear 4 and the second gear 5 mesh with the positioning vertical ruler 32. The central shafts of the first adjusting wheel 33 and the second adjusting wheel 34 pass through the positioning vertical ruler 32 and are respectively connected to the first gear 4 and the second gear 5. This invention not only provides stable support for large-sized workpieces, but also features a simple structure that facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the workpieces, thus improving the practicality of auxiliary supports for machining.
