Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tool gripping body technology on a broaching machine, specifically a tool gripping body mechanism for a broaching machine with adjustable center. Background Technology
[0002] A broaching machine is a metal cutting machine tool that uses a broach to cut workpieces, achieving efficient and high-precision machining through the linear motion of the broach. Broaching machines have a simple structure, are mostly hydraulically driven, and offer smooth movement with stepless adjustment of the broaching speed. Based on the machined surface, they can be divided into internal broaching machines and external broaching machines; based on their layout, they can be divided into horizontal and vertical types. Although broaching machines are more suitable for mass production due to the high manufacturing cost of broaches, their high precision and efficiency make them widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and other fields.
[0003] During broaching machine assembly, there are strict coaxiality requirements between the broach center of the upper gripper body and the gripper hole center of the lower gripper body. Excessive coaxiality between these two centers will severely affect broaching accuracy and may even prevent the broach guide from properly inserting into the gripper hole of the lower gripper body, causing the broaching machine to malfunction.
[0004] However, the common broaching machine's gripper body mechanism is a fixed structure, and the center position of the upper gripper body cannot be adjusted. During broaching machine assembly, if the coaxiality error between the center of the upper gripper body and the center of the gripping hole of the lower gripper body exceeds the tolerance, it is necessary to scrape the surface of the upper gripper body mounting base or add adjusting shims until the coaxiality of the center of the upper gripper body and the center of the gripping hole of the lower gripper body is adjusted to within the error range. This structural design undoubtedly increases the workload of broaching machine assembly and adjustment, and the adjustment is relatively difficult. At the same time, if the accuracy of the broaching machine decreases during the later processing, it is also very time-consuming and laborious to readjust the accuracy of the broaching machine. Therefore, an adjustable-center broaching machine gripper body mechanism is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an adjustable-center broaching bed gripper mechanism, which has advantages such as convenient adjustment of the broaching bed center position, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] An adjustable-center broaching bed gripping mechanism includes a broaching bed, wherein an upper gripping body mounting seat is fixedly installed on the lifting end of the broaching bed, and an adjustment component is provided at the bottom of the upper gripping body mounting seat;
[0008] The adjustment assembly includes two sets of front and rear guide blocks fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper gripper body mounting base. Two sets of left and right guide blocks are fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper gripper body mounting base. One set of the front and rear guide blocks has two blocks, and one set of the left and right guide blocks has two blocks. A front and rear positioning plate is slidably installed between the two front and rear guide blocks, and a left and right positioning plate is slidably installed between the two left and right guide blocks.
[0009] The upper gripper body is inserted through the top of the upper gripper mounting base, and the upper gripper body is inserted through the top of the front and rear positioning plates and the left and right positioning plates.
[0010] Furthermore, the top of the upper gripper body mounting base is provided with a mounting through hole larger than the diameter of the upper gripper body, and the top of the front and rear positioning plates and the left and right positioning plates are provided with positioning through holes that are adapted to the upper gripper body.
[0011] Furthermore, the top of the front and rear positioning plates is provided with front and rear waist holes, and the top of the left and right positioning plates is provided with left and right waist holes. The mounting screws on the front and rear positioning plates and the left and right positioning plates pass through the front and rear waist holes and the left and right waist holes, respectively.
[0012] Furthermore, one side of the front and rear guide blocks is threaded with two left and right adjusting screws, one end of which contacts one side of the left and right positioning plates. Both ends of the front and rear guide blocks are threaded with front and rear adjusting screws, one end of which contacts one side of the front and rear positioning plates.
[0013] Furthermore, two lower brackets are fixedly installed on the top of the broaching machine base, and a detection mandrel is inserted into the mounting hole on the top of the lower bracket.
[0014] Furthermore, a dial indicator is magnetically attached to the surface of the detection mandrel near its top, and the probe of the dial indicator is in contact with the surface of the upper gripper body.
[0015] Furthermore, a cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the left and right positioning plates, and two connecting side plates are fixedly installed at the movable end of the cylinder.
[0016] Furthermore, a retaining sleeve is fixedly installed between the two connecting side plates, and the retaining sleeve is fixedly installed on the surface of the upper gripper body.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an adjustable-center broaching machine gripping body mechanism, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] This adjustable center broaching machine tool gripper mechanism allows for front-to-back adjustment of the upper tool gripper body's position via front and rear positioning plates sliding between two front and rear guide blocks, and left-to-right adjustment of the upper tool gripper body's position via left and right positioning plates sliding between two left and right guide blocks. This facilitates alignment of the upper tool gripper body, ensuring that the coaxiality error between the upper tool gripper body and the broach's center position is within acceptable limits. This solves the common problem of fixed installation positions in broaching machine tool gripper mechanisms, making it difficult to adjust the center coaxiality of the upper and lower tool gripper bodies as needed.
