Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machining equipment, and in particular to a heavy-duty Z-axis moving device for CNC machining equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Numerical control machine tools, short for numerical control machine tools, are automated machine tools equipped with a program control system. This control system can logically process programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions, decode them, represent them with coded numbers, and input them into the numerical control device via an information carrier. After processing, the numerical control device sends out various control signals to control the machine tool's movements, automatically machining parts according to the shape and dimensions required by the drawings.

[0003] The Z-axis is generally equipped with a cutting tool, so the stability and balance of its rotation are key to the design. However, existing Z-axis, such as Chinese patent 202223213352.4, uses a direct drive between the Z-axis and the cutting tool. Therefore, the balance requirement is relatively small. However, when the spindle load is large, the balance design of the structure will affect the machining accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a remounted Z-axis moving device for CNC machining equipment, which aims to improve the existing design, achieve Z-axis balance, and thus improve machining accuracy.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a remounted Z-axis movement device for CNC machining equipment, comprising:

[0006] The base frame includes a back plate and support portions extending forward from the front wall of the back plate, the support portions being located on both sides of the back plate.

[0007] The two support parts form a positioning groove;

[0008] Z-axis guide rail (on the horizontal moving frame, it is provided with a Z-axis slider that cooperates with the Z-axis), the Z-axis guide rail is provided in two and spaced apart on the wall surface of the back plate away from the support part;

[0009] The ball screw is pivotally mounted on the back plate at both ends and is located between the two Z-axis guide rails. (The horizontal moving frame is equipped with a fixed screw nut, so in actual movement, the frame is used as the base for overall movement, which further ensures the balance of the spindle.)

[0010] A first driving device is located at the top of the positioning groove and is connected to the ball screw to drive its rotation.

[0011] The main shaft is located at the lower part of the positioning groove;

[0012] The second driving device is located in the middle of the positioning groove or on the outside of the support, and is used to drive the main shaft to rotate.

[0013] In practical design, the base frame structure allows for movement along the Z-axis while maintaining its balance.

[0014] The first balancing structure includes a support section and a Z-axis guide rail;

[0015] The second balancing structure includes ball screws and a first drive device located on both sides of the back plate;

[0016] The third balancing structure includes a main shaft and a support section, as well as the main shaft and the second drive device.

[0017] When the spindle rotates, it generates rotational deflection. By using multiple balancing structures, its balance can be effectively guaranteed, thereby improving the machining accuracy of the spindle tool during rotation. The balancing unit has a simple structure and facilitates the assembly of the mechanical structure, forming a standardized design for the machine. This means that the support can be set in multiple positions, and the torque balance point can be calculated according to the weight and rotational deflection of different machines, thus forming standardized production, rather than relying on the experience of assembly personnel, thereby improving production accuracy.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a remounted Z-axis moving device for a CNC machining equipment includes:

[0036] The base frame 1 (preferably with openwork sections to reduce its overall weight and improve balance) includes a back plate 10 and support portions 11 extending forward from the front wall of the back plate 10. The support portions 11 are located on both sides of the back plate 10.

[0037] The two support parts 11 form a positioning groove 12;

[0038] Z-axis guide rail 21, on the horizontal moving frame, is provided with Z-axis slider that cooperates with the Z-axis. There are two Z-axis guide rails 21, which are spaced apart on the wall surface of the back plate 10 away from the support part 11.

The balancing mechanism is simple in structure and facilitates the assembly of the mechanical structure, forming a standardized design for the machine. The support part 11 can be set in multiple positions, and the torque balance point can be calculated according to the weight and rotational deflection of different machines, thus forming standardized production, rather than relying on the experience of assembly personnel, thereby improving production accuracy.
