AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing boring heads have a fixed tool holder during rotary machining, making it impossible to continuously machine complex shapes, resulting in low machining efficiency, high scrap rate, and complicated operation.

Method used

The system employs electric slip ring technology to ensure that the internal components of the slip ring do not rotate when the spindle rotates. The internal components are connected to the motor, while the external components are connected to the control system, providing stable power and signals. The slip ring drives the tool holder to move laterally via gears, enabling continuous machining.

Benefits of technology

It enables the boring head to continuously provide power to the tool holder while rotating, improving processing efficiency and accuracy, simplifying the operation process, and reducing the scrap rate.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining equipment technology, specifically to a boring head device that can continuously provide power while rotating. Background Technology

[0002] Boring machines are the main equipment for machining large box-shaped parts. They can bore pre-drilled holes in workpieces, and the boring head is the core component of the boring machine. Currently, when the existing boring head rotates for machining, the tool holder is fixed, which means it cannot continuously machine complex shapes and can only machine single shapes. This brings great difficulties to the machining process, requiring manual adjustment of dimensions and trial machining before mass production. It also places high demands on the operator's skills, easily leads to scrap, has a high scrap rate, and slows down the machining efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a boring head device that can continuously provide power while rotating, in order to solve the problem in the prior art where the tool holder is fixed when the boring head rotates for machining, and complex shapes cannot be continuously machined.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A boring head device that provides continuous power while rotating includes a motor, a reducer, a spindle, a boring head body, and a slip ring. The motor is fixed to the reducer, which is fixed to the tail of the spindle in the spindle box via a flange. The front end of the spindle is connected to the boring head body. The output shaft of the reducer is connected to a connecting shaft via a key. The connecting shaft is built into the spindle and is connected to a gear via a key. The gear drives a rack to move laterally under the support of a bearing. A tool post is mounted above the rack. The slip ring is connected to the motor inside and to the control system outside.

[0006] The aforementioned slip ring is mounted on a slip ring mounting bracket.

[0007] A pulley is installed at the tail of the aforementioned spindle.

[0008] This invention employs an electric slip ring to provide power and signals to the servo motor. When the spindle rotates, the inner part of the slip ring rotates while the outer part remains stationary. The inner part is connected to the motor, and the outer part is connected to the control system, ensuring the stability of power and signals. The motor is fixed to a reducer, which is secured to the tail of the spindle via a reducer flange. The reducer shaft is connected to a connecting shaft via a key, and the connecting shaft is connected to a gear via a key. When the motor rotates, the gear, supported by bearings, drives the rack to move laterally, converting rotation into motion. A tool holder is mounted above the rack, and it moves accordingly to control the machining range.

[0009] This invention modifies the internal transmission structure of the boring head, enabling it to continuously provide power to the tool holder while the boring head rotates, thus processing complex shapes with high efficiency, high precision, and simple operation. Attached Figure Description
