[0005] The spindle is fixedly mounted on a swing base, which is mounted on a Y-axis slide. A servo motor is fixedly mounted on one end of the swing base, and the servo motor is connected to a first coupling. A worm gear is connected between the first and second couplings, and another worm gear is connected after the second coupling. The servo motor drives the two worm gears connected by rigid couplings to rotate, and the two worm gears transmit power to two worm wheels respectively. The two worm wheels are fixedly mounted on two cylindrical gear shafts of the Y-axis slide. Two small gears are provided on the cylindrical gear shafts. The mechanical backlash is eliminated by adjusting the angle of the two small gears. A large gear is provided on the Y-axis slide, and the two small gears mesh with the large gear to drive the swing base to rotate on the Y-axis slide, thereby allowing the spindle to swing. When the spindle rotates to the commanded position, the hydraulic locking brake plate is activated to lock the swing base in a fixed position, and the spindle can then perform heavy-duty cutting of the workpiece.

[0007] As an optimization, an angular contact ball bearing is also installed in the middle of the worm gear. The angular contact ball bearing is used to increase the support point and reduce deflection.
[0008] As an optimization: a plastic-coated surface is provided between the swing seat and the Y-shaped slide, and the overall rigidity of the swing seat is increased by lubrication with thin oil.
[0009] As an optimization: a pressure plate is provided between the swing base and the spindle, and the pressure plate locks and eliminates the gap to meet the heavy cutting requirements of the machine tool.
[0010] As an optimization: the brake plate is disposed between the pad plate and the oil circuit plate, the brake plate is provided with a piston and a guide rod, and the guide rod is provided with a disc spring.
[0011] As an optimization, a circular grating is provided between the swing base and the Y-shaped slide to increase rotational accuracy.
[0012] Beneficial effects: This invention enables the horizontal boring machine to process complex workpieces with a small increase in cost, thus expanding the processing range of the machine tool and achieving multiple processes in a single clamping operation.
