[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a high-precision, quick-change structure for grinding wheel sets includes a spindle drive module 1 and a spindle 2 mounted on the spindle drive module 1; it also includes a grinding wheel magazine 3 mounted on one axial side of the spindle 2, the grinding wheel magazine 3 including a rotating module 4, on which a plurality of grinding wheel sets 5 are arranged circumferentially, the rotating module 4 rotates so that one of the grinding wheel sets 5 is coaxially aligned with the spindle 2, and the spindle 2 and the rotating module 4 translate relative to each other to perform docking and assembly of the grinding wheel sets 5.

[0029] In this embodiment, by installing a grinding wheel magazine 3 on one side of the spindle 2, the docking and assembly stroke is short, quick and efficient.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the spindle 2 is equipped with a clamping mechanism at its shaft end for clamping and fixing the grinding wheel set 5.

[0031] As an improvement, the grinding wheel set 5 includes a grinding wheel shaft 51 and several grinding wheels 52 coaxially mounted on the grinding wheel shaft 51. The end of the grinding wheel shaft 51 is recessed with an assembly hole 50 that cooperates with the clamping mechanism for fastening. During the docking assembly, the spindle 2 extends into the grinding wheel shaft 51 of the grinding wheel set 5 and the clamping mechanism tightens and connects the two.

[0032] The clamping mechanism can be a commercially available machine tool spindle puller structure, such as a four-lobed puller. The inner diameter of the mounting hole 50 of the grinding wheel shaft 51 is adapted to the outer diameter of the puller, thereby achieving a tension fit.

[0033] As an improvement, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the rotating module 4 includes: a slide 41, a rotating drive unit 42 mounted on the slide 41, and a rotating table 43 mounted on the rotating drive unit 42. Grinding wheel frames 44 for mounting grinding wheel sets 5 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the upper surface of the rotating table 43.

[0034] Preferably, the rotating shaft of the rotary drive unit 42 is vertically arranged, its driving end is connected to the rotary table 43, and its non-driving part is mounted on the slide 41. In some embodiments, the rotary drive unit 42 can be a commercially available direct drive motor, or a drive motor with servo function, to achieve precise position control.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, the grinding wheel holder 44 is vertically mounted on the rotary table 43, and a U-shaped groove 441 is provided on its upper part. At least two inner walls of the U-shaped groove 441 are provided with limiting protrusions 442 for axially limiting the grinding wheel shaft 51. The limiting protrusions 442 are adapted to the grooves 511 on the outer wall of the grinding wheel shaft 51. The limiting protrusions 442 have a trapezoidal cross-section, and the grooves 511 on the outer wall of the grinding wheel shaft 51 are adapted to it and are tightly fitted in the axial direction of the grinding wheel shaft 51. The gap between the two is only required to ensure that the grinding wheel shaft 51 can slide out vertically. This rigid fit structure design minimizes the installation error between the two, improves the positional accuracy of the grinding wheel set on the grinding wheel magazine, effectively ensures the docking and assembly accuracy of the grinding wheel magazine and the spindle, and further improves the assembly efficiency and reliability.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the spindle drive module 1 includes an X-axis module 11 along the axial direction of the spindle 2 and a Z-axis module 12 mounted on the X-axis module 11, with the spindle 2 mounted on the Z-axis module 12. The spindle drive module 1 drives the spindle 2 to move along the X and Z axes.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the grinding wheel magazine 3 further includes a translation module 6, on which the rotation module 4 is mounted to be driven by the translation module 6 to translate along the axial direction of the main shaft 2.

[0038] As an improvement, the translation module 6 drives the rotation module 4 to move along the axial direction of the spindle 2 to perform docking assembly and replacement of the grinding wheel set 5. The rotation drive unit 42 drives the rotary table 43 to rotate. Each rotation of the rotary table 43 rotates the grinding wheel set 5 at the corresponding position to the docking assembly position facing the spindle 2. Then, the translation module 6 and / or the spindle drive module 1 drive the translation so that the grinding wheel set 5 docks with the spindle 2.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the grinding wheel magazine 3 also includes a mounting base 8, and the slider 61 is mounted on the mounting base 8 and is adapted to the guide rail provided on the slide 41 to realize the synchronous translation of the grinding wheel group 5.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the translation module 6 includes: a slider 61, a slide block 41 slidably mounted on the slider 61, and a rack 62 arranged on the slide block 41 along the axial direction of the main shaft 2; and a translation drive unit 63, which is mounted on the mounting base 8 and has a gear 64 connected to its rotation drive end, and the gear 64 meshes with the rack 62.

[0041] In some embodiments, the translation drive unit 63 is preferably a motor.

[0042] In this embodiment, a spindle 2 is installed on the spindle drive module 1 for multi-directional movement, and a grinding wheel magazine 3 is installed on one axial side of the spindle 2. Several grinding wheel sets 5 are arranged circumferentially on its rotating module 4.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] A type of CNC grinding machine, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a grinding machine base 7; it also includes a high-precision quick-change structure for the grinding wheel set as described in the above embodiment, wherein the spindle drive module 1 is vertically mounted on the grinding machine base 7, and the grinding wheel magazine 3 is mounted on the grinding machine base 7 via a mounting seat 8.

[0045] Work process:

[0046] When the grinding wheel set 5 on the spindle is replaced, the rotary module 4 drives the empty space on the grinding wheel magazine 3 to rotate to the coaxial position with the assembly station of the spindle 2, and the translation module 6 drives the whole to translate to the assembly station. The spindle 2 moves down to place the grinding wheel set 5 on the empty grinding wheel holder 44, the clamping mechanism on the spindle 2 releases the grinding wheel magazine 3 to retract, and the grinding wheel set 5 is disengaged from the spindle.

[0047] When a new grinding wheel set 5 needs to be replaced on the spindle 2, the required grinding wheel set 5 is rotated to the docking assembly station so that it is coaxially aligned with the spindle 2. The translation module 6 drives the entire assembly to translate and complete the docking assembly of the grinding wheel set 5 and the spindle. Then, the spindle 2 moves up until the grinding wheel set 5 is disengaged from the grinding wheel holder 44 and then moves to the processing station for grinding. The replacement is quick and efficient, the assembly accuracy is high, and the processing capability of the machine tool is guaranteed.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
