Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of lathe power heads, and more particularly to a universal power head. Background Technology

[0002] A power head, also known as a power tool holder, refers to a tool holder that is mounted on a power tool turret and can be driven by a servo motor.

[0003] Existing power turrets typically require custom-designed power heads with output shafts corresponding to different workpiece angles when machining workpieces at different angles. After machining a specific type of part, the custom-designed power head becomes useless, resulting in a significant waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] To reduce resource waste, this application provides a universal power head.

[0005] The universal power head provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A universal power head includes a body, an input shaft rotatably mounted on the body, a mounting platform rotatably mounted on the body, an output shaft rotatably mounted on the mounting platform, and a transmission mechanism between the output shaft and the input shaft, wherein rotation of the input shaft drives rotation of the output shaft through the transmission mechanism.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the direction of the output shaft can be adjusted by rotating the mounting table, so that the power head can be used to process different types and batches of parts. The power head can be reused by adjustment, thereby saving resources and reducing waste.

[0008] Optionally, the transmission mechanism includes a driving bevel gear, a transmission shaft, a driven bevel gear, a transmission bevel gear, and a drive bevel gear. The driving bevel gear is mounted on the input shaft. The transmission shaft is rotatably mounted inside the machine body. The driven bevel gear is mounted on the transmission shaft. The driven bevel gear and the driving bevel gear mesh with each other. One end of the transmission shaft extends into the mounting platform. The transmission bevel gear is mounted on the end of the transmission shaft that extends into the mounting platform. The drive bevel gear is mounted on the output shaft. The transmission bevel gear and the drive bevel gear mesh with each other. The mounting platform rotates on the machine body with the transmission shaft as its rotation axis.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting platform rotates with the transmission shaft as the rotation axis, so that the drive bevel gear can always mesh with the transmission bevel gear when the mounting platform rotates. This ensures that after the mounting platform drives the output shaft angle to be adjusted, the power of the input shaft can still be transmitted to the output shaft through the transmission mechanism.

[0010] Optionally, the machine body is threaded with a reinforcing bolt, which penetrates the machine body and abuts against the side wall of the mounting platform.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of reinforcing bolts can reinforce the mounting platform after adjustment, reducing the probability of the mounting platform rotating due to external forces during operation.

[0012] Optionally, one end of the output shaft is provided with a mounting hole for mounting a cutting tool.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting hole is used to insert the cutting tool, which facilitates the insertion and installation of the cutting tool.

[0014] Optionally, a fixing ring is threaded onto one end of the output shaft with a mounting hole, the thread of the fixing ring being opposite to the rotation direction of the output shaft.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the retaining ring can fix the tool and reduce the probability of the tool falling off. The reverse thread reduces the probability of the retaining ring falling off due to the rotation of the output shaft.

[0016] Optionally, the mounting platform is provided with an inspection port, and a cover plate is detachably installed on the inspection port.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening of the inspection port facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the interior of the installation platform.

[0018] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] The direction of the output shaft can be adjusted by rotating the mounting table, so that the power head can be used to process different types and batches of parts. The power head can be reused by adjustment, thereby saving resources and reducing waste.

[0020] The mounting platform rotates around the drive shaft, ensuring that the drive bevel gear always meshes with the drive bevel gear as the mounting platform rotates. This allows the power from the input shaft to still be transmitted to the output shaft through the transmission mechanism even after the mounting platform has adjusted the output shaft angle.

[0021] The installation of reinforcing bolts can reinforce the mounting platform after adjustment, reducing the probability of the mounting platform rotating due to external forces during operation;

[0022] The access panel allows for easy maintenance of the interior of the mounting platform. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] First, it should be noted that in the description of this application, the use of directional terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer" indicates the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are used solely for descriptive purposes and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the use of numerical quantifiers such as "first," "second," and "third" is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Additionally, in this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, interference fits, transition fits, or integral connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Therefore, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] This application discloses a universal power head, as shown in the embodiments below. Figure 1 The device includes a body 1, on which an input shaft 2 is rotatably mounted. By mounting the head onto a power turret, the input shaft 2 is connected to the power source of the power turret, thereby driving the input shaft 2 to rotate. A mounting platform 3 is rotatably mounted on the body 1, and an output shaft 4 is rotatably mounted on the mounting platform 3. A transmission mechanism 5 is provided between the output shaft 4 and the input shaft 2. The rotation of the input shaft 2 drives the output shaft 4 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 5. The direction of the output shaft 4 can be adjusted by rotating the mounting platform 3, so that the power head can be used for processing different types and batches of parts. The power head can be reused by adjustment, thereby saving resources and reducing waste.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transmission mechanism 5 includes a driving bevel gear 51, a transmission shaft 52, a driven bevel gear 53, a transmission bevel gear 54, and a drive bevel gear 55. The driving bevel gear 51 is mounted on the input shaft 2. The transmission shaft 52 is rotatably mounted inside the machine body 1. The driven bevel gear 53 is mounted on the transmission shaft 52, and the driven bevel gear 53 and the driving bevel gear 51 mesh with each other. One end of the transmission shaft 52 extends into the mounting platform 3. The transmission bevel gear 54 is mounted on the end of the transmission shaft 52 that extends into the mounting platform 3. The drive bevel gear 55 is mounted on the output shaft 4, and the transmission bevel gear 54 and the drive bevel gear 55 mesh with each other. The rotation of the input shaft 2 drives the driving bevel gear 51. When gear 51 rotates, the driving bevel gear 51 drives the transmission shaft 52 to rotate through meshing with the driven bevel gear 53. The rotation of the transmission shaft 52 drives the transmission bevel gear 54 to rotate, and the rotation of the transmission bevel gear 54 drives the drive bevel gear 55, thereby realizing the rotation of the output shaft 4. The mounting platform 3 rotates on the machine body 1 with the transmission shaft 52 as the rotation axis. The rotation of the mounting platform 3 with the transmission shaft 52 as the rotation axis ensures that the drive bevel gear 55 can always mesh with the transmission bevel gear 54 when the mounting platform 3 rotates. This ensures that after the mounting platform 3 drives the output shaft 4 to adjust the angle, the power of the input shaft 2 can still be transmitted to the output shaft 4 through the transmission mechanism 5.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The machine body 1 is threaded with a reinforcing bolt 6. The reinforcing bolt 6 penetrates the machine body 1 and abuts against the side wall of the mounting platform 3. The setting of the reinforcing bolt 6 can reinforce the mounting platform 3 after the mounting platform 3 is adjusted, reducing the probability of the mounting platform 3 rotating due to external force during operation.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The output shaft 4 has a mounting hole 7 at one end, which is used to install the tool. The mounting hole 7 is used to insert the tool, which facilitates the insertion and installation of the tool. A fixing ring 8 is threaded onto the other end of the output shaft 4 with the mounting hole 7. The thread of the fixing ring 8 is opposite to the rotation direction of the output shaft 4. The fixing ring 8 can fix the tool and reduce the probability of the tool falling off. The reverse thread reduces the probability of the fixing ring 8 falling off due to the rotation of the output shaft 4.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The mounting platform 3 has an inspection port 9, on which a cover plate 10 is detachably installed. The inspection port 9 is located directly behind the output shaft 4. A bearing 11 is fitted on the output shaft 4. The bearing 11 is fixedly fitted on the output shaft 4 by a retaining ring 12. After opening the inspection port 9, the bearing 11 can be replaced by removing the retaining ring 12. The drive bevel gear 55 can be separated from the output shaft 4 by removing the bearing 11. Thus, the output shaft 4 can be disassembled and replaced with output shafts 4 with different mounting holes 7. The applicability of the power head can be improved by replacing the output shaft 4.

[0035] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: The machine body 1 is installed on the power turret, and the input shaft 2 is connected to the power source of the power turret. The power source on the power turret drives the input shaft 2 to rotate. The rotation of the input shaft 2 drives the active bevel gear 51 to rotate. The active bevel gear 51 drives the transmission shaft 52 to rotate through meshing with the driven bevel gear 53. The rotation of the transmission shaft 52 drives the transmission bevel gear 54 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission bevel gear 54 drives the drive bevel gear 55, thereby driving the rotation of the output shaft 4. The output shaft 4 drives the tool to process the workpiece. When it is necessary to process workpieces at different angles, the reinforcing bolt 6 is loosened, the drive mounting table 3 is rotated to a suitable angle, and then the reinforcing bolt 6 is tightened. The power of the power turret drives the tool to process the workpiece at different angles.

[0036] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate this application and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in this application. Although this specification has described this application in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still make modifications or equivalent substitutions to this application. All technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this application should be covered within the scope of the claims of this application.
