Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 4 The four-axis rotary table for a CNC machine tool shown includes a cylinder 2 fixedly mounted on a machine tool 1. The output shaft of the cylinder 2 faces vertically upward, and a support plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the cylinder 2. An adjusting plate 7 that rotates along a vertical plane is rotatably mounted on the support plate 3.
[0027] Specifically, a horizontal fixing plate is fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 3, and two horizontal and coaxially opposed damping rotation shafts are fixedly installed on the end of the fixing plate 4 away from the support plate 3. The adjusting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the two damping rotation shafts. The turntable body 8 is fixedly installed on the adjusting plate 7. The damping rotation shafts are the same as those disclosed in the four-axis turntable for CNC machine tools described in announcement number CN222608734U.
[0028] A horizontal rotating shaft 4 is inserted into the support plate 3. The rotating shaft 4 is parallel to the two damping rotating shafts and is rotatably connected to the support plate 3.
[0029] One of the axial ends of the rotating shaft 4 extends out of the support plate 3 and a handwheel is coaxially fixedly mounted on the axial end.
[0030] The rotating shaft 4 and the adjusting plate 7 are connected by a transmission assembly to drive the adjusting plate 7 to rotate along the vertical plane.
[0031] Specifically, the transmission assembly includes a gear 5 and an arc-shaped rack 6. The arc-shaped rack 6 is fixed to the end of the adjusting plate 7 away from the two damping rotation shafts, and the arc center of the arc-shaped rack 6 is located on the central axis of the two damping rotation shafts.
[0032] Gear 5 is fixedly mounted on shaft 4. Gear 5 meshes with arc-shaped rack 6.
[0033] A horizontal meshing groove is formed on the support plate 3, and the rotating shaft 4 passes through the meshing groove. The gear 5 is located in the meshing groove, and the arc-shaped rack 6 is in a limiting sliding fit with the meshing groove.
[0034] The support plate 3 has an installation groove, through which the rotating shaft 4 passes. A retaining ring 9 is fixedly sleeved on the other axial end of the rotating shaft 4. The retaining ring 9 is located in the installation groove and has multiple retaining grooves 16 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 4. The multiple retaining grooves 16 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating shaft 4.
[0035] A double-locking snap-fit assembly is installed on the support plate 3. The double-locking snap-fit assembly has two snap-fit ends, which engage with the snap-fit groove 16 on the snap ring 9 to limit rotation.
[0036] Specifically, the double-locking assembly includes two rotating rods 11 and two locking blocks 14. Two limiting grooves are formed radially along the rotating shaft 4 inside the support plate 3. The openings of the two limiting grooves are opposite each other, and the mounting groove is located between the two limiting grooves and communicates with the two limiting grooves.
[0037] Each limiting slide groove is equipped with a limiting sliding block 14. The two limiting blocks 14 serve as two locking ends that engage with the locking groove 16 on the locking ring 9 to limit rotation.
[0038] Two parallel support shafts 10 are horizontally placed within the mounting slot. Both support shafts 10 are spatially perpendicular to and symmetrically arranged with respect to the rotating shaft 4. Both support shafts 10 are rotatably connected to the support plate 3.
[0039] Two support shafts 10 correspond one-to-one with two rotating rods 11. Each support shaft 10 is perpendicular to the corresponding rotating rod 11 and passes through the corresponding rotating rod 11. Each support shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating rod 11.
[0040] Two rotating rods 11 correspond one-to-one with two locking blocks 14. One end of each rotating rod 11 is connected to the corresponding locking block 14 via a linkage, and the other end of each rotating rod 11 extends out of the support plate 3. The support plate 3 has a clearance groove for the two rotating rods 11 to rotate and make room.
[0041] Specifically, the linkage includes a push shaft 13 and an inclined groove 15. The inclined groove 15 is a through groove and is formed on the locking block 14. A U-shaped frame is fixedly installed on the rotating rod 11, and the push shaft 13 is horizontally placed between the two far ends of the U-shaped frame and fixedly connected to the two far ends of the U-shaped frame.
[0042] The push shaft 13 is parallel to the support shaft 10, and the push shaft 13 passes through the inclined groove 15 and is in a limited sliding fit with the inclined groove 15.
[0043] In this embodiment, the two inclined slots 15 are arranged symmetrically in a figure-eight shape relative to the rotating shaft 4.
[0044] Two mounting plates are fixedly mounted on the support plate 3, and a spring 12 is fixedly mounted on each of the two mounting plates. The two springs 12 correspond one-to-one with the two rotating rods 11, and each spring 12 is located on the rotation plane of the corresponding rotating rod 11. The end of each spring 12 away from the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating rod 11.
[0045] In this embodiment, to ensure smooth rotation of the rotating rod 11, the spring 12 is replaced with a torsion spring. The torsion spring is sleeved on the support shaft 10, with one end fixedly connected to the rotating rod 11 and the other end fixedly connected to the support plate 3.
[0046] Working principle: When adjusting the state of this four-axis rotary table, simultaneously pinch both rotating rods 11. The ends of the two rotating rods 11 that are away from the corresponding locking block 14 rotate towards each other, while the ends of the two rotating rods 11 with U-shaped brackets rotate away from each other. During this process, the two rotating rods 11 compress the corresponding springs 12, and the two rotating rods 11 drive the corresponding push shafts 13 to move synchronously through the corresponding U-shaped brackets. The two push shafts 13 slide within the corresponding inclined grooves 15, and at the same time, the two push shafts 13 push the corresponding locking blocks 14 out of the locking slots 16.
[0047] After both locking blocks 14 have completely disengaged from their locking slots 16, maintain the pushing force on the two rotating rods 11. Simultaneously, rotate the handwheel, which drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The rotating shaft 4 drives the gear 5 to rotate, and the gear 5 pushes the arc-shaped rack 6 to revolve around the two damping rotation axes. The arc-shaped rack 6 drives the adjusting plate 7 to rotate, and the adjusting plate 7 drives the turntable body 8 to revolve synchronously around the two damping rotation axes. This achieves the adjustment of the state of the turntable body 8.
[0048] After adjustment, two of the retaining grooves 16 on the retaining ring 9 are aligned with the openings of the two limiting sliding grooves. Next, the two rotating rods 11 are released. Under the elastic force of the two springs 12, the ends of the two rotating rods 11 that are away from the corresponding retaining blocks 14 rotate away, and simultaneously, the ends of the two rotating rods 11 with the U-shaped brackets rotate away. During this process, the two springs 12 extend, and the two rotating rods 11 drive the corresponding push shafts 13 to move synchronously through the corresponding U-shaped brackets. The two push shafts 13 slide within the corresponding inclined grooves 15, and simultaneously push the corresponding retaining blocks 14 into the corresponding retaining grooves 16.
[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
