Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lathe equipment technology, and specifically to a positioning device for a lathe spindle. Background Technology
[0002] In lathe machining, some shaft-type workpieces need to be lengthened to ensure dimensional consistency and avoid affecting subsequent processes. For example, in the production of idler roller shafts for non-coal mines, the process involves: blanking—lengthening and centering on a lathe—milling the groove on a milling machine. When lengthening idler roller shafts on a lathe, it's difficult to guarantee uniform dimensions using ordinary machining methods. Furthermore, each workpiece requires measurement, recording the data, cutting one end face on the lathe, then measuring again and cutting the other end face. This cumbersome operation causes inconvenience and difficulty in machining, and makes it challenging to ensure dimensional uniformity. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems that when cutting the length of workpieces such as roller shafts on a lathe, it is difficult to ensure uniform dimensions using ordinary processing methods. Moreover, each workpiece requires measurement and data recording, which is cumbersome and causes inconvenience and difficulty in processing. In addition, it is not easy to ensure uniform dimensions. This invention provides a positioning device for lathe spindles, which can greatly save the time of frequent measurements and ensure uniform dimensions.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a positioning device for a lathe spindle, including a lead screw with its right end inserted into the lathe spindle, a nut threaded onto the body of the lead screw, the left end of the lathe spindle located inside the nut, the nut and the lathe spindle being fixed by a first bolt, and the nut, the lathe spindle and the lead screw being fixed by a second bolt.
[0005] Preferably, the lead screw has an anti-rotation groove extending horizontally on its shaft, and the second bolt is inserted into the anti-rotation groove.
[0006] Preferably, the right end of the lead screw is provided with an annular component.
[0007] Preferably, one or more of the first bolts are provided.
[0008] Preferably, one or more anti-rotation grooves are provided for the second bolt.
[0009] The above technical solution involves inserting a lead screw into the lathe spindle from the left end, tightening the first bolt to fix the nut to the left end of the spindle, adjusting the length of the lead screw within the spindle according to the workpiece drawing dimensions, and tightening the second bolt to fix the lead screw, nut, and spindle. The workpiece is then placed in a locking chuck, with its left end extending into the spindle and abutting against the right end of the lead screw. The workpiece is clamped using the locking chuck, and the right end of the workpiece is machined using the lathe's large slide scale. The value of the large slide scale is recorded. The workpiece is then clamped in the opposite direction using the locking chuck, and the other end of the workpiece is machined to the required dimensions using the large slide scale. The value of the large slide scale is recorded again. All other workpieces are machined according to the large slide scale values. This significantly reduces the time spent on frequent measurements, ensures dimensional uniformity, improves production efficiency, guarantees workpiece quality, and facilitates the next milling process.

[0014] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0015] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a positioning device for a lathe spindle, including a lead screw 1 inserted into the lathe spindle 5 at its right end, a nut 2 threadedly connected to the body of the lead screw 1, and the left end of the lathe spindle 5 located inside the nut 2. The nut 2 and the lathe spindle 5 are fixed by a first bolt 3, and the nut 2, the lathe spindle 5, and the lead screw 1 are fixed by a second bolt 4. The lead screw 1 is made of seamless steel pipe, and the nut 2 is made of carbon steel, which has high strength and hardness.
[0016] In use, insert the lead screw 1 into the lathe spindle 5 from the left end of the lathe spindle 5, tighten the first bolt 3 to fix the nut 2 to the left end of the lathe spindle 5, and adjust the length of the lead screw 1 inside the lathe spindle 5 according to the workpiece drawing dimensions. Tighten the second bolt 4 to fix the lead screw 1, nut 2, and lathe spindle 5. Place the workpiece into the locking chuck, with the left end of the workpiece extending into the lathe spindle 5 and abutting against the right end face of the lead screw 1. Clamp the workpiece using the locking chuck, and use the lathe slide scale to position and machine the right end face of the workpiece. Record the value of the lathe slide scale positioning. Then, use the locking chuck to clamp the workpiece in the opposite direction, and use the lathe slide scale to position and machine the other end face of the workpiece to the required dimensions. Record the value of the lathe slide scale positioning. Machine the remaining workpieces according to the lathe slide positioning values. This greatly saves the time of frequent measurements, ensures dimensional uniformity, improves production efficiency and ensures workpiece quality, and provides convenience for the next milling process.
[0017] This device is mainly suitable for modified non-standard lathe spindles 5, whose enlarged bore diameter cannot be matched with standard Morse taper sleeves. With this device, there is no need to use standard Morse taper sleeves.
[0018] The lead screw 1 has an anti-rotation groove 6 extending horizontally on its body. The second bolt 4 is inserted into the anti-rotation groove 6 to prevent the lead screw 1 from rotating, thereby improving the stability of the lead screw 1. At the same time, the length of the lead screw 1 within the lathe spindle 5 can be adjusted by rotation at any position within the anti-rotation groove 6, making it suitable for turning workpieces of different sizes.
[0019] The lead screw 1 has an annular part 7 on its right end to prevent excessive clearance between the right end of the lead screw 1 and the inner wall of the lathe spindle 5, which would cause it to wobble.
[0020] One or more first bolts 3 are provided.
[0021] One or more second bolts 4 and their corresponding anti-rotation grooves 6 are provided.
[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, the present invention is not limited thereto.
