Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC mobile positioning equipment technology, and in particular to a CNC vertical mobile positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] A CNC linear positioning device is a servo motion mechanism directly controlled by the NC system in a CNC system. It can be used for workpiece movement and positioning, with typical applications including linear axes (X / Y / Z) or rotary axes (A / B / C) in machining centers. Traditional vertical CNC linear positioning axes often use lead screws and lead screw-slider structures to provide linear motion. Bearing seats are located at both ends of the lead screw, which are fixed to the housing by horizontal bolts. This results in a load acting on the lead screw-slider structure, and the forces from the lead screw-slider structure and the load act on the bearing seats and the horizontally positioned bolts, causing the bolts to experience vertical shear forces. In the automated machining of automotive white models, the workpiece needs to be mounted on a traditional CNC linear positioning axis for movement and positioning. The load acting on the CNC linear positioning axis during workpiece movement is a dynamic load. The combined effect of the additional forces exerted on the workpiece after it reaches its position and during machining is a static load, which is generally greater than the dynamic load. Due to the alternating effects of dynamic and static loads, bolts subjected to shear force may loosen or deform, resulting in a decrease in the positioning accuracy and reliability of the vertical CNC linear axis, or even malfunction. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing a CNC vertical moving positioning device, which solves the technical problem that the use of bearing seats in traditional CNC moving positioning linear axes with vertical movement causes bolts to be subjected to shear forces, resulting in decreased moving positioning accuracy, decreased reliability, or even failure.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A CNC vertical motion positioning device includes a vertical housing, a drive unit, and a linear motion mechanism. The upper part of the vertical housing has a mounting cavity, and the lower part of the mounting cavity has a load-bearing plate. A load-bearing rotary bearing is mounted on the load-bearing plate. The linear motion mechanism includes a lead screw, a linear motion seat, and a slide rail. The lead screw is vertically disposed within the mounting cavity, with its upper end rotatably connected to the vertical housing. The lower vertical part of the lead screw is inserted into the rotary bearing and rotates relative to the load-bearing plate. The linear motion seat is screwed onto the lead screw. The slide rail is vertically disposed on one side of the mounting cavity, and the side portion of the linear motion seat is slidably engaged with the slide rail. The drive unit drives the lead screw to rotate.
[0006] Furthermore, the load-bearing plate is provided with bearing mounting holes, and a stepped ring is provided at the lower part of the bearing mounting holes. The rotating bearing is installed in the bearing mounting holes, and the lower end face of the outer ring of the rotating bearing abuts against the stepped ring.
[0007] Furthermore, the rotating bearing is an angular contact ball bearing.
[0008] Furthermore, a fixing cover is provided on the upper part of the bearing mounting hole, and the lower end face of the fixing cover abuts against the upper end face of the outer ring of the rotating bearing.
[0009] Furthermore, a step is provided at the lower part of the lead screw, and the step abuts against the upper end face of the inner ring of the rotating bearing.
[0010] Furthermore, the step of the lead screw abuts against the upper end face of the inner ring of the rotating bearing via a transition ring.
[0011] Furthermore, an annular buffer pad is fitted onto the lead screw, and the annular buffer pad is located on the upper surface of the fixed cover.
[0012] Furthermore, both sides of the lower part of the vertical housing are provided with mounting flanges, and the lower part of the mounting flanges is provided with several mounting holes.
[0013] Furthermore, the vertical shell, the load-bearing plate, and the seat flange are integrally formed.
[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. In use, this utility model allows for the installation of a workpiece fixture on the linear motion output end of the linear motion mechanism. A drive device drives the linear motion mechanism, moving the workpiece fixture to the workpiece clamping position. The workpiece to be processed is then mounted on the fixture, moved to the processing station for processing, and finally moved to the removal station, thus completing the processing of one workpiece for use, ready for the next workpiece to be processed in a cycle. The force transmission in this utility model involves the linear motion seat load force being transferred to the lead screw, which in turn acts on a load-bearing rotating bearing, and then through the rotating bearing to the load-bearing plate. The load is effectively transferred to the housing, the ground, or a lower-level moving positioning device via the load-bearing plate. Based on the above, this utility model allows the load force transmission to proceed without any fasteners, greatly improving the rigidity and geometric accuracy of the device. It solves the technical problem of reduced moving positioning accuracy, decreased reliability, or even failure caused by the use of bearing seats in traditional vertical CNC moving positioning linear axes, which results in bolts being subjected to shear forces.
[0016] 2. The stepped ring at the lower part of the bearing mounting hole of this utility model can realize the positioning and installation of the rotating bearing, and the stepped ring can be used for load bearing; the step at the lower part of the lead screw facilitates the fixing and positioning of the lead screw and prevents the lead screw from moving downward along the axial direction; by setting a transition ring, the contact between the step at the lower part of the lead screw and the upper end face of the bearing inner ring can be protected, so as to realize the reliable transmission of the force on the lead screw and improve reliability.
[0017] 3. This utility model, by incorporating an annular buffer pad, can prevent the linear motion seat from directly impacting the rigid structural components in the event of a control malfunction, thus preventing structural damage. The integrated vertical shell, load-bearing plate, and seat flange eliminate the need for fasteners connecting these components, thus preventing any interference from fasteners.
