[0024] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this screw air compressor cooling device includes a material conveying base 1, a first transmission base 101 fixed to the ground or workbench base, a first conveying base 102 installed on the top of the first transmission base 101, and a servo motor driving the screw and nut mechanism of the first transmission base 101 to enable the first conveying base 102 to slide smoothly along the X-axis. A second transmission base 103 is installed at the middle position of the top of the first conveying base 102, also driven by a servo motor, so that the second transmission base 103 can drive the upper component to slide along the Y-axis. A second conveying base 104 is installed on the top of the second transmission base 103, and electric clamps 105 are respectively installed at the middle positions of the front and rear sides of the top of the second conveying base 104. The electric clamps 105 are controlled by a PLC to achieve precise clamping and releasing of the workpiece.
[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a lifting transmission seat 2 is installed at the rear middle position of the top of the material conveying base 1. A lifting drive motor 201 is fixed at the middle position of the top of the lifting transmission seat 2. A lifting slide groove 203 is opened at the middle of the front side wall near the upper end. A second lead screw 202 is installed in the lifting slide groove 203 so that the second lead screw 202 is connected to the output end of the lifting drive motor 201. The sliding end of the lifting mounting plate 204 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 202 to ensure that the lifting mounting plate 204 can slide up and down along the Z-axis direction in the lifting slide groove 203.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, two milling cutter drive seats 3 are installed on the front side wall of the lifting mounting plate 204. Limiting shafts 302 are respectively connected and rotatably connected through the middle of the top of each milling cutter drive seat 3. A third drive motor 301 is installed on the middle of the top of the milling cutter drive seat 3 and on one side of the limiting shaft 302. The output end of the third drive motor 301 passes through the bottom of the milling cutter drive seat 3 and is connected to the drive pulley 303. Driven pulleys 305 are fixedly sleeved on the outer side wall of the limiting shaft 302 on both sides of the drive pulley 303. A transmission belt 304 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the drive pulley 303 and the driven pulley 305. At the same time, a limiting plate 306 is installed on the middle of the bottom of the milling cutter drive seat 3 and directly below the limiting shaft 302. A limiting sleeve is installed in the middle of the inner side wall of the limiting plate 306.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, a quick-release milling cutter assembly 4 is installed at the output end of each milling cutter drive seat 3. The top of the mounting seat 401 is fixed at the middle position of the bottom of the corresponding limiting sleeve. A quick-release component 409 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting seat 401. A rotating component 410 is fixedly installed at the middle of the bottom of the quick-release component 409. A drive shaft 411 is rotatably connected to the middle of the bottom of the rotating component 410. A limiting sleeve 402 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating component 410 and at the position outside the milling cutter head 403, so that the milling cutter head 403 is rotatably connected to the inside of the limiting sleeve 402. A limiting quick-release groove 405 is opened at the middle position of the bottom of the connecting component 407, and a fixing groove 406 is opened at both sides of the middle position of the bottom. An elastic telescopic rod 408 is installed at the middle position of the front and rear sides of the top of the rotating component 410, so that the elastic telescopic rod 408 is engaged with the fixing groove 406, and the quick-release component 409 passes through the limiting quick-release groove 405. To achieve quick release and limiting, during operation, the workpiece is placed on the second conveyor seat 104, and the electric clamp 105 clamps the workpiece. The first transmission seat 101 and the second transmission seat 103 work together to transport the workpiece to the processing position. The lifting drive motor 201 is started, and the milling cutter drive seat 3 is adjusted to a suitable height. The third drive motor 301 drives the limiting shaft 302 to rotate through belt transmission, which in turn drives the drive shaft 411 and the milling cutter head 403 to rotate at high speed to perform milling on the workpiece. The thread tightening direction of the drive shaft 411 and the milling cutter head 403 is opposite to the rotation direction of the output end of the third drive motor 301. When it is necessary to replace the milling cutter head 403, the quick release part 409 is rotated to release the limiting and then it can be quickly replaced. After completion, it is reinstalled and a stable connection is achieved through the elastic telescopic rod 408 and the limiting quick release groove 405 to continue the processing operation.
[0030] Working principle: First, the material conveying base 1 undertakes the material conveying function. The first transmission base 101 drives the first conveying base 102 to slide. The second transmission base 103 on the first conveying base 102 then drives the second conveying base 104 to slide. The electric clamp 105 slides on the second conveying base 104 and clamps the material. Through multi-stage transmission, the material is accurately conveyed and positioned in different directions.
[0031] Next, the lifting drive motor 201 on the lifting transmission seat 2 starts, driving the second lead screw 202 to rotate. The lifting mounting plate 204, which is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 202, moves up and down in the lifting slide 203, thereby adjusting the height of the milling cutter drive seat 3 to meet different processing height requirements.
[0032] In terms of milling cutter drive, the third drive motor 301 at the top of the milling cutter drive seat 3 outputs power, and the drive pulley 303 connected to its output end drives the driven pulley 305 on the outer wall of the limit shaft 302 to rotate through the transmission belt 304, thereby causing the limit shaft 302 to rotate. The output end of the limit shaft 302 is connected to the input end of the drive shaft 411, and transmits power to the drive shaft 411.
[0033] In the quick-release milling cutter assembly 4, the drive shaft 411 rotates, causing the milling cutter head 403 to rotate within the limiting bushing 402, thereby achieving milling of the material. Due to the through slots opened in the middle of the top of the mounting base 401, quick-release part 409, rotating part 410, and connecting part 407, the drive shaft 411 rotates, causing only the milling cutter head 403 to rotate, while other parts do not move.
[0034] When the milling cutter head 403 needs to be replaced, rotate the quick-release piece 409 to disengage it from the limiting quick-release slot 405, and the milling cutter head 403 and related components can be removed for replacement. During installation, align the quick-release piece 409 with the limiting quick-release slot 405, insert it and rotate it. At the same time, the elastic telescopic rod 408 at the top of the rotating piece 410 engages with the fixing slot 406 at the bottom of the connecting piece 407, completing quick installation and fixing, realizing convenient replacement of the milling cutter head 403, improving processing efficiency and equipment practicality.
[0035] The above-described embodiments are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model. The descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
