The rotation of the milling cutter is usually the main motion, and the movement of the workpiece and the milling cutter is the feed motion. Grinding machines are machine tools that use grinding wheels to grind the surface of workpieces. Most grinding machines use high-speed rotating grinding wheels for grinding.

[0003] The cutting tool is mounted on the head assembly. When the cutting tool is a grinding wheel, the machine tool is a grinding machine; when the cutting tool is a milling cutter, the machine tool is a milling machine. When machining a workpiece using a grinding machine or milling machine, it is necessary to realize the fan-shaped motion of the head assembly and its linear motion in two perpendicular directions. At the same time, it is also necessary to realize the angle and position adjustment of the head assembly so that the workpiece can be machined by the cutting tool. In the existing technology, the friction is large when realizing the fan-shaped motion, and jamming is easy to occur. After adjusting the angle and position of the head assembly, its position cannot be fixed, resulting in poor stability of the head assembly during operation.

[0072] The head assembly 9 in this embodiment includes a head adjustment seat 91, an electric spindle 92, a cutting tool 93, an electric spindle clamp 94, a compensation mechanism 95, and a clamp positioning cylinder 96.

[0075] Specifically, the curve-following machine tool can move the slide saddle 101 along the lower guide rail 104, and the fan-shaped table device 8 along the upper guide rail 103. The static pressure drive mechanism 83 can drive the machine head frame 1 to make a fan-shaped movement along the fan-shaped rotation center axis 84. The rotation angle of the machine head device 9 can be adjusted by driving the hollow shaft 3 to rotate through the geared motor 6. The upper and lower positions of the machine head device 9 can be adjusted by driving the hollow shaft 3 to swing up and down with the self-aligning bearing 2 as the lever fulcrum through the swing angle device 7. In this way, the multi-dimensional adjustment of the machine head device 9 can be achieved.

[0076] Normally, when processing a workpiece, the workpiece makes a circular motion, and the headstock assembly moves linearly along the upper guide rail 103 and the lower guide rail 104, and makes a fan-shaped motion along the fan-shaped rotation center axis 84. The above three motion directions (upper guide rail 103, lower guide rail 104, and fan-shaped rotation center axis 84) are carried out synchronously, which can also make the rotation of the hollow shaft 3, the position adjustment of the headstock device 9 and the movement of the upper guide rail 103, the lower guide rail 104 and the fan-shaped rotation center axis 84 linked together.

[0077] This curve-following machine tool can also be used to process curves and surfaces of different workpieces through the expansion of the tool dresser.

[0078] There is a preset offset angle α on the head adjustment seat 91. The preset offset angle α is the angle formed between the vertical line of the hollow shaft 3 and the axis of the electric spindle 92. The value range of the preset offset angle α is 0-30°. Usually, the preset offset angle α is 20°. The purpose of setting the preset offset angle α is to offset the helical machining angle when machining workpieces such as screws and worms, so as to expand the machining range of the workpiece.

[0079] The sector table device 8 can be used to realize the sector motion of the machine tool. When realizing the sector motion through the sector table device 8, oil is injected into the oil injection hole 823 so that the oil injection chamber 822 is filled with oil. This generates a static pressure oil film between the upper surface of the sector table 81 and the lower surface of the oil chamber pressure plate 82. The static pressure drive motor 831 drives the static pressure drive synchronous pulley 832 to rotate. Since the static pressure drive synchronous pulley 832 meshes with the static pressure drive synchronous belt 833, the machine head support 1 is open. The fan-shaped rotating center shaft 84 is installed on the fan-shaped platform 81, which allows the headstock 1 and the oil tank pressure plate 82 to move in a fan shape along the fan-shaped rotating center shaft 84 on the fan-shaped platform 81. During the fan-shaped movement, the static pressure limit wheel 835 can limit the headstock 1. When no oil is injected into the oil filling hole 823, the oil tank partition bar 821 will contact the upper surface of the fan-shaped platform 81, so that the oil flows into the oil return groove 824 and is discharged through the oil drain hole 811.

[0080] The head frame assembly can adjust the position and angle of the head device 9. The head device 9 is installed at the other end of the hollow shaft 3. The hollow shaft 3 is driven to rotate by the geared motor 6, which can adjust the angle of the head device 9 as it rotates along the hollow shaft 3.

[0081] The sway angle drive motor 721 drives the sway angle drive pulley 722 to rotate, which in turn drives the eccentric shaft 723 to rotate. The eccentric shaft 723 drives the sway angle drive slider 724 to make eccentric movements, while simultaneously causing the sway angle drive slider 724 to slide within the sway angle seat cavity 711. This, in turn, drives the reduction motor 6 and the hollow shaft 3 to swing and adjust on the head frame 1 via the sway angle seat 711. After adjustment, the sway angle drive motor 721 stops rotating, and the sway angle positioning cylinder 732 presses against the sway angle positioning top plate 733, causing the sway angle positioning top plate 733 to abut against the sway angle drive slider 724, thereby achieving the positioning of the sway angle drive slider 724.

[0082] When adjusting the hollow shaft 3, the balance arm device 4 can play a balancing role to prevent the hollow shaft 3 from becoming unbalanced due to excessive weight of the head device 9. After adjustment, the position of the hollow shaft 3 is fixed by the clamping device 5. That is, the locking cylinder 54 presses the locking pin 55 located in the waist-shaped hole 57 to make the two clamping bodies 52 clamp onto the outer wall of the hollow shaft 3. In the initial state, the distance between the two clamping bodies 52 can be adjusted by turning the two tightening screws 51 according to the outer diameter of the hollow shaft 3.

[0083] As the cutting tool 93 grinds the workpiece, its outer diameter and width decrease. The position of the cutting tool 93 can be adjusted by the compensation mechanism 95 so that it can contact the workpiece and grind it. When adjusting the position of the cutting tool 93, the compensation motor 951 drives the coupling 952 to rotate, which in turn drives the ball screw 953 to rotate. Since the ball screw 953 is threadedly connected to the nut seat 954, and the nut seat 954 is connected to the electric spindle clamp 94, the electric spindle clamp 94 can move along the axis of the electric spindle 92 on the head adjustment seat 91 to adjust and compensate the position of the cutting tool 93. After the adjustment is completed, the clamp positioning cylinder 96 pushes the upper stop 97 so that the second clamp 942 is clamped between the upper stop 97 and the lower stop 98 to fix the position of the electric spindle clamp 94.
