Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of center shaft technology, specifically a center shaft disassembly device for a live center. Background Technology
[0002] A rotating center, also known as a swivel center, is a machine tool component used in machining to support the workpiece. It contains an internal bearing structure and rotates with the workpiece, thereby reducing friction and heat accumulation. Compared to fixed centers, rotating centers are more suitable for high-speed machining, maintaining workpiece stability during high-speed rotation. Since the accuracy of the rotating center's spindle determines its rotational accuracy, disassembly of the spindle is crucial during installation and maintenance. Currently, there is a lack of a device that allows for quick disassembly of the spindle while preventing damage. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for disassembling the center shaft of a live center. This device can quickly fix the housing of the live center to achieve rapid disassembly of the center shaft. At the same time, the disassembly process can avoid damage to the center shaft and ensure the rotational accuracy of the live center.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a center shaft disassembly device for a live center, wherein the center shaft to be disassembled is installed inside the live center housing, and the disassembly device includes a disassembly frame, wherein a center rear plug with a threaded portion is installed on the disassembly frame, the threaded portion being able to be adapted to and connected to the tail end of the live center housing, and the center rear plug having a central hole in the middle, the central hole being directed toward the tail end of the center shaft along the center line direction of the center shaft.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.
[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used herein should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains. The terms "a," "an," or "the," etc., used in this utility model patent application specification and claims do not express a quantity limitation, but rather indicate the presence of at least one; the terms "first," "second," and "third," as used herein, should not be considered as a limitation on the order of components, but are merely for distinguishing different components; the terms "comprising" or "including," etc., indicate that the elements or objects preceding "comprising" or "including" encompass the elements or objects listed following "comprising" or "including" and their equivalents, but do not exclude other elements or objects having the same function.
[0029] To more clearly describe the specific structural components of the center shaft disassembly device for the live center, see attached... Figure 1-6 This embodiment is described as follows:
[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a center shaft disassembly device for a live center is disclosed. The center shaft 2 to be disassembled is installed inside the live center housing 1. The disassembly device includes a disassembly frame 3, with a center rear plug 4 mounted on the top of the disassembly frame 3. The center rear plug 4 has a threaded portion 401, which is adapted to the internal thread at the tail end of the live center housing 1. The center rear plug 4 has a central hole 402 in the middle, which faces the tail end of the center shaft 2 along the centerline direction. A linear actuator 5 is fixed on the disassembly frame 3, and a disassembly shaft 6 is fixed to the movable actuating end of the linear actuator 5. The disassembly shaft 6 has an ejector end 601 that can pass through the central hole 402 and apply an axial ejection force to the tail end of the center shaft 2.
[0031] When disassembling the center shaft 2 of the live center, first remove the original closed rear plug of the live center, then install the center rear plug 4, which is compatible with the model of the live center, onto the live center housing 1 of the live center. The center rear plug 4 is connected to the tail end of the live center housing 1 by a thread. Then fix the center rear plug 4 onto the disassembly frame 3 to ensure that the live center housing 1 is not loose. Then control the linear actuator 5 to drive the disassembly shaft 6 to move along the center line of the live center housing 1. The ejector end 601 of the disassembly shaft 6 passes through the center hole 402 of the center rear plug 4 and pushes against the tail end of the center shaft 2. After controlling the disassembly shaft 6 at a suitable speed, slowly push the center shaft 2 out of the bearing cavity of the live center housing 1 from the other side.
[0032] The center rear plug 4 is detachably connected to the removal bracket 3 to facilitate the installation and quick replacement of the center rear plug 4. The detachability is achieved in the following ways:
[0033] The center rear plug 4 has a radial extension 403, the outer diameter of which is larger than the threaded portion 401, so as to protrude to the outside of the live center housing 1. The disassembly bracket 3 has a clamping mechanism for fixing the radial extension 403. See reference. Figure 2 and Figure 5 Specifically, the clamping mechanism includes bolts 7 and adjusting pads 8. The disassembly frame 3 is provided with threaded holes that are compatible with bolts 7. The adjusting pad 8 has a waist-shaped hole in the middle for the bolts 7 to pass through (the waist-shaped hole is conducive to the lateral position adjustment of the adjusting pad 8 and makes it convenient to place the radial extension 403 below the adjusting pad 8). There are no fewer than two bolts 7. The radial extension 403 is placed between the adjusting pad 8 and the top surface of the disassembly frame 3. The bolts 7 are rotated to make the bolt heads press against the adjusting pad 8. The adjusting pad 8 cooperates with the top surface of the disassembly frame 3 to clamp the radial extension 403, thereby ensuring the stability of the live center housing 1.
[0034] See Figure 6 Furthermore, a receiving groove 304 for accommodating the radial extension 403 is provided on the top surface of the disassembly frame 3. The shape and size of the receiving groove 304 are adapted to the radial extension 403. The radial extension 403 of the center back plug 4 is placed in the receiving groove 304, and the upper side of the radial extension 403 is pressed by the bolt 7 and the adjusting shim 8, which further improves the stability of the center back plug 4 and the live center housing 1, so that the disassembly shaft can be disassembled in an axial ejection manner, avoiding damage to the center shaft during disassembly, thereby ensuring the rotational accuracy of the live center.
[0035] The disassembly frame 3 includes a lower disassembly frame 301, an upper disassembly frame 302, and a connecting frame 303 fixed between the lower disassembly frame 301 and the upper disassembly frame 302; the top end plug 4 and the clamping mechanism are both installed on the upper disassembly frame 302, and the upper disassembly frame 302 has a through hole in the middle for the ejector end 601 to pass through.
[0036] The linear actuator 5 is a jack, hydraulic cylinder, or pneumatic cylinder.
[0037] The disassembly shaft 6 is detachably connected to the movable actuator end of the linear actuator 5 to facilitate the replacement of the disassembly shaft 6. The outer diameter of the ejector end 601 is smaller than the outer diameter of the tail end of the center shaft 2 to avoid obstruction when the ejector end 601 moves within the movable center housing 1.
[0038] The parts not described in detail in the above embodiments are existing technologies.
[0039] It should be noted that although the present invention has been described through the above embodiments, there may be other various embodiments of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, those skilled in the art can obviously make various corresponding changes and modifications to the present invention, but all such changes and modifications should fall within the scope of protection of the appended claims and their equivalents.
