Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining center technology, specifically an electric spindle for machining centers. Background Technology

[0002] CNC milling machines, also known as numerical control milling machines, are milling machines controlled by electronic digital signals. They are automated machining equipment developed from conventional milling machines, sharing similar machining processes and structures. CNC milling machines are broadly classified into two categories: those without a tool magazine and those with a tool magazine. CNC milling machines with a tool magazine are also called machining centers.

[0003] When installing and using electric spindles in current machining centers, the single electric spindle structure requires manual assistance when installing drill bits, making installation and replacement cumbersome. Some automatic replacement structures require the electric spindle to be moved to the fixed drill bit position for replacement, which makes the operation less intelligent and efficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric spindle for machining centers, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. For current machining centers, the installation and use of electric spindles is complicated by the need for manual assistance when installing drill bits due to the single structure of the electric spindle. This makes installation and replacement cumbersome. Furthermore, some current automatic replacement structures require the electric spindle to be moved to the fixed drill bit position for replacement, which makes the operation less intelligent and efficient.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An electric spindle for a machining center includes a main support sleeve. A mounting outer ring is horizontally and symmetrically welded to the outer side of the main support sleeve. A spindle body is vertically rotatably mounted on the inner side of the main support sleeve. Mounting side blocks are evenly connected to the outer side of the main support sleeve. Each mounting side block has a mounting groove at its end away from the main support sleeve. Mounting screw holes are symmetrically engaged on the inner side of the mounting groove. A telescopic upright is vertically fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting groove. A tilting motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the telescopic upright. A tilting connecting rod is horizontally mounted on the side of the telescopic upright. An end clamping block is horizontally mounted at one end of the tilting connecting rod. The outer side of the main support sleeve… The sides are uniformly fixed with external snap-fit ​​strips. One end of the mounting side block has a snap-fit ​​groove. The top of the side of the telescopic pole has uniformly formed connecting holes. The inner side of the telescopic pole is vertically fixed with a vertical cylinder. The bottom end of the telescopic pole has a horizontal bottom flip groove. The inner side of the bottom flip groove has symmetrical inner sleeve holes. One end of the flipping connecting rod is horizontally fixed with an end flipping block. The side of the end flipping block is inserted with a flipping shaft. The inner side of the flipping connecting rod is horizontally fixed with a horizontal cylinder. The end of the flipping connecting rod away from the end flipping block has an end screw hole. The side of the end snap-fit ​​block is fixedly connected with a mounting screw.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there are two mounting outer rings, which are arranged in parallel and superimposed on each other. The mounting outer rings are fixedly installed at both ends of the outer side of the main support sleeve, and the top surface of the mounting outer rings is uniformly provided with through holes.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the main shaft is vertically rotatably mounted on the inner central axis of the main support sleeve. There are multiple mounting side blocks, which are spliced ​​together in a ring arrangement on the outer side of the main support sleeve. The specifications and dimensions of the mounting side blocks are all consistent. The mounting slot is opened through the center of the side of the mounting side block.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: the number of telescopic uprights is consistent with the number of mounting side blocks, the top side of the telescopic upright is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting slot, the flipping motor is fixedly installed on the side of the telescopic upright near the bottom, and the output end is horizontally extended and fixedly connected to one end of the flipping shaft.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: one end of the flipping connecting rod is horizontally positioned near the opening end of the bottom flipping groove, the end clamping block is clamp-shaped, there are multiple outer clamping strips, and the multiple outer clamping strips are arranged in a ring at equal intervals, the clamping groove is vertically sleeved on the outer side of the outer clamping strip, and the bottom flipping groove is horizontally opened through the center line of the bottom end of the telescopic pole.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model: one end of the end flipping block is horizontally snapped into the inner side of the bottom flipping groove, both ends of the flipping shaft are inserted into the inner side of the inner sleeve hole, and one end of the mounting screw is threadedly fixedly connected to the inner side of the end screw hole.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention involves vertically positioning the main support sleeve at a designated location on the machining center, then fixing the outer ring with bolts. The internal spindle rotates during machining, allowing multiple mounting side blocks to be vertically fitted onto the outer edge of the outer clamping strip via snap-fit ​​grooves at one end. These side blocks are then arranged in a ring around the outer edge of the main support sleeve. Multiple telescopic uprights are then snapped into their corresponding mounting slots via side snap-fits. Bolts are then used to connect the mounting screw holes and mating holes, securing the telescopic uprights within the mounting slots. Finally, the required drill bit structure is snapped into the inner edge of the end snap-fit ​​block. When the drill bit is installed at the bottom of the spindle, the vertical cylinder can be controlled to extend and retract vertically, causing the telescopic column to move the bottom flipping linkage downwards to the designated position. After the side flipping motor rotates, the output end drives the end flipping block to flip inside the bottom flipping groove, allowing the drill bit, which is fixed at one end, to flip and snap into the bottom connection hole of the spindle body. After the horizontal cylinder extends and retracts horizontally, the lateral distance of the installation point can be adjusted. The modular structure allows for installation and use as needed, while the snap-fit ​​connection structure makes installation more convenient. The automated loading and unloading structure makes changing drill bits more intelligent and efficient. Attached Figure Description
