Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of functional components of CNC machine tools, and in particular to a crankshaft machining indexing device. Background Technology

[0002] The crankshaft is a key component of an engine. It has a complex shape, poor rigidity, high precision requirements, and complex machining processes. The machining process requires turning, milling, drilling, and other operations, as well as equipment such as lathes, machining centers, and special machines, and complex tooling such as eccentric fixtures. The process is complicated and the machining quality is difficult to guarantee. The crankshaft converts the reciprocating linear motion of the piston into rotational motion, thereby outputting power. In this process, the crankshaft is subjected to complex alternating loads, including various forces such as torque, bending moment, and torque. Therefore, the quality and performance of the crankshaft directly affect the engine's working efficiency, reliability, and service life.

[0003] Traditional crankshaft machining technology requires multiple pieces of equipment to work together and multiple processes to complete the machining. Each process requires clamping, positioning, cutting and other operations, which takes a long time. Especially in mass production, the machining quality is difficult to guarantee. Once the product model changes, it is necessary to change the tools, fixtures and adjust the process parameters. It is not suitable for small-batch, multi-variety crankshaft machining.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a crankshaft machining indexing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a crankshaft machining indexing device.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a crankshaft machining indexing device, including a base, a fixed seat fixedly installed on one side of the base, a sliding seat slidably installed on one side of the base, the sliding seat being electrically connected to the device via a drag chain cable, a turntable mechanism being provided at the top of both the fixed seat and the sliding seat, two center frame mechanisms being provided at the top of the base, and a moving mechanism being provided on one side of each center frame mechanism.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, the sliding base is electrically connected to the device via a drag chain cable, ensuring stable transmission of power and signals during the sliding process.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the turntable mechanism includes a turntable body fixed to the top of the fixed base, a torque motor is fixedly installed inside the turntable body, and an encoder is fixedly installed on one side of the torque motor.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, the turntable body is directly driven by a high-torque motor, and the encoder is used as the feedback signal, which can achieve high-precision rotational positioning. The turntable body is equipped with a locking mechanism, which can lock the spindle at any position and withstand greater cutting torque.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: a rotary cylinder is fixedly installed at one end of the turntable body; a bearing is rotatably installed between the turntable body and the torque motor; a tie rod is fixedly installed inside the output shaft of the torque motor; the tie rod is rotatably sealed to one end of the rotary cylinder; and a hydraulic chuck is fixedly installed at the other end of the tie rod.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the turntable body realizes automatic clamping and release of workpieces through rotary cylinders and hydraulic chucks. The chuck has a fixed center at its center, which is used to position the workpiece.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the central frame mechanism includes a first slide table slidably installed inside the base, a second slide table slidably installed inside the base, and a lifting cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of both the first slide table and the second slide table.

[0013] The above technical solution uses the first and second slides as auxiliary supports near the cutting position to solve the deformation problem caused by insufficient crankshaft rigidity.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: a cross arm is fixedly installed at one end of the lifting rod of the lifting cylinder; two symmetrically distributed side arms are rotatably installed inside the first slide; one end of each of the two side arms is rotatably connected to one end of the lifting rod of the lifting cylinder; and a roller is rotatably installed inside the cross arm.

[0015] The above technical solution uses a lifting cylinder to drive the internal cam to move. The cam controls the horizontal arm to move up and down and the side arm to swing. When the horizontal arm and the side arm move in tandem, the generatrix of the upper roller is always tangent to the outer circle of the crankshaft. Under the action of hydraulic pressure, it supports the crankshaft.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: the moving mechanism includes a positioning motor fixed to one side of the first slide, the output shaft of the positioning motor is fixedly connected to a gear through a reducer, a rack is fixedly installed at the top of the base, and the outer surface of the gear meshes with one side of the rack.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the positioning motor drives the gear to rotate through the reducer, so that the gear drives the first slide to move through the base via the rack.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that: a locking cylinder is fixedly installed inside the first slide, and a locking plate is fixedly installed on the locking cylinder through a piston rod.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the locking cylinder drives the locking plate to hydraulically lock the base through the piston rod.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] 1. This utility model features a turntable mechanism with a direct-drive motor, which offers fast response during simultaneous machining, meets the requirements for machining various complex curved surfaces, eliminates the need for worm gears and gear transmissions, and boasts advantages such as wear-free operation and long service life. The rotary drive utilizes two turntables for dual-drive operation, doubling the driving torque while reducing torsional deformation of slender parts such as crankshafts during machining. The crankshaft is mounted using a dedicated hydraulic chuck with a center in the center. During rotation, the center presses against the workpiece to complete positioning, while the jaws retract to clamp the workpiece. The jaws can float radially, serving only a clamping function and will not interfere with the centering of the center.

[0022] 2. This utility model, by providing a central support mechanism and a moving mechanism, allows two slides to move independently, with each slide's stroke overlapping and locking at any position. No vibration is generated during cutting. Two hydraulic central supports provide auxiliary support. When machining the first and second crankshaft diameters (left and right), the machining position is close to the chuck, ensuring machining accuracy. When machining the second and third crankshaft diameters (left and right), the two central supports support the first and second crankshaft diameters, ensuring the rigidity of the machining position and providing constant support near the cutting position, thus solving the problem of insufficient crankshaft rigidity.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the top of the base 1 is provided with two central frame mechanisms 6. The central frame mechanism 6 includes a first slide 601 slidably installed inside the base 1 and a second slide 602 slidably installed inside the base 1. A lifting cylinder 603 is fixedly installed on one side of both the first slide 601 and the second slide 602. A cross arm 604 is fixedly installed at one end of the lifting rod of the lifting cylinder 603. Two symmetrically distributed side arms 605 are rotatably installed inside the first slide 601. One end of each side arm 605 is rotatably connected to one end of the lifting rod of the lifting cylinder 603. A roller is rotatably installed inside the cross arm 604.

Under the action of hydraulic pressure, it supports the crankshaft.

[0031] like Figure 4As shown, a moving mechanism 7 is provided on one side of the central frame mechanism 6.

The system accurately positions the crankshaft according to its length and the required support position of the center frame, enabling the processing of workpieces of different sizes. Similarly, the first slide... The second slide 601 and the second slide 602 serve as auxiliary supports near the cutting position to solve the deformation problem caused by insufficient crankshaft rigidity. The internal cam is driven to move by the lifting cylinder 603. The cam controls the up and down movement of the horizontal arm 604 and the swing of the side arm 605. When the horizontal arm 604 and the side arm 605 are linked, the generatrix of the upper roller is always tangent to the outer circle of the crankshaft. Under the action of hydraulic pressure, it supports the crankshaft. The turntable body 501 is directly driven by a high torque motor 502, and the encoder 503 provides feedback signals, which can achieve high-precision rotational positioning. The turntable body 501 is equipped with a locking mechanism, which can lock the spindle at any position and withstand greater cutting torque. Thus, the two turntables achieve dual-drive rotary motion, driving the crankshaft to achieve arbitrary angle rotation indexing. Linked with the main machine, all the hole surfaces of the crankshaft are machined in one clamping.
