Description
A twin-turret lathe capable of machining different parts of a workpiece Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of CNC machining equipment, specifically, it relates to a double-turret lathe capable of machining different parts of a workpiece. Background Technology
[0002] A lathe is a machine tool primarily used to machine rotating workpieces using a cutting tool. It is the most important type of metal cutting machine tool, and is the most numerous and prevalent type in general machine manufacturing plants; it is also known as the "mother machine." Drills, reamers, taps, dies, and knurling tools can also be used on lathes for various machining operations. The function of a lathe is to cut rotating surfaces of various sizes and shapes, as well as helical surfaces.
[0003] Common lathes on the market include conventional lathes and CNC lathes. Conventional lathes require manual reading and tool feeding, which is inefficient and has low machining accuracy. Most CNC lathes currently have only one spindle and tool turret. The workpiece is clamped by the spindle and driven to rotate at high speed. The tool is then mounted on the tool turret. The tool turret is controlled by CNC to move along the Y and X axes, so that the tool can be controlled to feed and cut on the rotating cylinder.
[0004] Patent application CN110076362B discloses a lathe. Paragraph 0023 of the specification discloses that: when turning a workpiece on the lathe, a protective cover is used to prevent the flying of cutting chips that could cause injury to workers. In addition, after the lathe finishes machining a workpiece, the chuck releases its clamping of the material rod. The lifting mechanism controls the raising and lowering of the protective cover, which allows the operating component to drive the material rod to move a certain position before the chuck clamps the material rod again. This eliminates the need for manual movement of the material rod. Furthermore, this operation makes the movement distance of the material rod more stable.
[0005] In practical use, the following defects were discovered: In the field of machining, the lathe, as a core piece of equipment, plays a crucial role in the machining quality by enabling it to position and fix workpieces. However, current lathes exhibit limitations when positioning and fixing different parts of workpieces, especially when clamping shaft workpieces of varying specifications, where instability is a prominent issue. Due to the differences in diameter, length, and stepped structures among shaft workpieces, existing lathe positioning devices struggle to quickly adapt to these variations. When clamping shaft workpieces of different specifications, it is often impossible to provide uniform and sufficient clamping force based on the specific dimensions and structural characteristics of the workpiece. This leads to slight displacement or vibration of the workpiece during machining, i.e., instability. This instability directly makes adjusting the workpiece at the machining location extremely difficult, requiring operators to frequently stop the machine to adjust the workpiece position and clamping force. This not only reduces machining efficiency but, more seriously, negatively impacts the machining process. During machining, workpiece instability can cause the relative position of the tool and workpiece to shift, resulting in dimensional deviations, excessive surface roughness, and other problems that fail to meet machining requirements.
[0006] To address this, a double-turret lathe capable of machining different parts of a workpiece is proposed to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a double turret lathe capable of machining different parts of a workpiece.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

Detailed Implementation
[0033] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-6. In this embodiment, a double-turret lathe capable of machining different parts of a workpiece is provided. It includes a frame 1 and a worktable 2 fixed on the upper side of the frame 1. The worktable 2 is provided with a first spindle mechanism 5, a first X-axis conveying mechanism 3 located on one side of the first spindle mechanism 5, and two second X-axis conveying mechanisms 4 located on one side of the first X-axis conveying mechanism 3.

[0035] The turret mechanism 7 includes a Y-axis transport mechanism 702, on which a tool turntable 703 is mounted, and on which multiple milling and turning tools 704 are mounted.
[0036] Specifically, the first spindle mechanism 5 and the second spindle mechanism 6 clamp the workpiece through the second lathe fixture 503 and the first lathe fixture 605, respectively. The second drive motor 502 drives the second lathe fixture 503 to rotate through the belt 504. The first drive motor 604 drives the first lathe fixture 605 to rotate through the reducer 603, thereby achieving high-speed rotation of the workpiece. The first X-axis conveying mechanism 3 is threadedly engaged with the first X-axis slide 305 through the first lead screw 302. The second X-axis conveying mechanism 4 is threadedly engaged with the second X-axis slide 405 through the second lead screw 402, driving the second spindle mechanism 6 and the tool turret mechanism 7 to move along the X-axis. The Y-axis conveying mechanism 702 drives the tool turntable 703 to move along the Y-axis, positioning the milling cutter 704 to the workpiece to be processed. The multiple milling cutters on the tool turntable 703 can be switched as needed. Combined with the clamping and positioning of different parts of the workpiece by the dual spindles, automated processing of multiple processes and multiple parts of the workpiece is achieved.
[0037] By setting up the first spindle mechanism 5, the second spindle mechanism 6 and the double turret mechanism 7, and cooperating with the movement control of the second X-axis conveyor mechanism 4 and the Y-axis conveyor mechanism 702, multi-process automated processing of different parts of the workpiece can be realized, reducing the problems of workpiece displacement, vibration and frequent machine stop adjustment caused by the limitations of single spindle clamping of lathe, and improving the efficiency of workpiece processing.
[0038] As shown in Figures 1-6, the first X-axis conveying mechanism 3 of this embodiment includes a first X-axis conveying motor 301 fixed on the worktable 2 and two first X-axis guide rails 303. A first lead screw 302 is provided at the output end of the first X-axis conveying motor 301. First X-axis sliders 304 are slidably fitted on the first X-axis guide rails 303.

A second lathe fixture 503 is rotatably fitted on the second support table 501. A flywheel is provided on one end of the second lathe fixture 503 and the output end of the second drive motor 502. A belt 504 is provided between the two flywheels. The second X-axis conveying mechanism 4 includes a second X-axis conveying motor 401 and two second X-axis guide rails 403 fixed on the worktable 2. A second lead screw 402 is provided on the output end of the second X-axis conveying motor 401. A second X-axis slider 404 is slidably fitted on the second X-axis guide rail 403. A second X-axis slide 405 is provided between the two second X-axis sliders 404. A second threaded hole 406 is opened at the bottom of the second X-axis slide 405. The second lead screw 402 is threaded into the second threaded hole 406. The turret mechanism 7 includes a positioning frame 701 fixed on the second X-axis slide 405. The Y-axis conveying mechanism 702 is fixed on the positioning frame 701.
[0039] The first spindle mechanism 5 drives the second lathe fixture 503 to rotate via the second drive motor 502 and belt 504. The second spindle mechanism 6 drives the first lathe fixture 605 to rotate via the first drive motor 604 and reducer 603, realizing the clamping and rotation of the workpiece by the dual spindles. The first X-axis conveying mechanism 3 drives the first lead screw 302 to rotate via the first X-axis conveying motor 301, which drives the first X-axis slide 305 to move along the first X-axis guide rail 303 through threaded engagement, realizing the X-axis positioning of the second spindle mechanism 6. Similarly, the second X-axis conveying mechanism 4 drives the turret mechanism 7 to move along the X-axis, and the Y-axis conveying mechanism 702 drives the tool turntable 703 to move along the Y-axis. With the switching of multiple milling and turning tools 704, the machining of different parts of the workpiece can be realized. The coordinated movement of the dual spindles and dual turrets can complete multiple machining operations of the workpiece simultaneously or sequentially, improving efficiency.
[0040] The first spindle mechanism 5 and the second spindle mechanism 6 clamp workpieces via the second lathe fixture 503 and the first lathe fixture 605, respectively. The second spindle mechanism 6 can move along the X-axis via the first X-axis conveying mechanism 3. This design allows for adjustment of the distance between the two spindles to accommodate differences in the length and diameter of shaft-type workpieces, enabling precise positioning of workpieces of different specifications and reducing uneven clamping force or vibration problems caused by specification differences when clamping with a single spindle.
[0041] Each second X-axis conveyor mechanism 4 is equipped with a turret mechanism 7, a Y-axis conveyor mechanism 702, and a tool turntable 703. Multiple turning and milling tools 704 can be installed and automatically switched. By controlling the turret to move along the X-axis and Y-axis through CNC control, multiple processes such as turning and milling can be performed on different parts of the workpiece (such as outer circle, end face, thread, etc.) sequentially or simultaneously, reducing manual tool changing and downtime adjustment time, and significantly improving processing efficiency.
