[0002] A five-axis CNC grinding machine is a machine tool that uses grinding wheels to grind the surface of a workpiece. Most grinding machines use high-speed rotating grinding wheels for grinding. Five-axis linkage means that there are five coordinate axes (X, Y, Z three linear coordinates and A, C two rotary coordinates) on one machine tool.

[0003] Chinese patent CN220051108U discloses a grinding machine for machining the inner ring of a tapered roller bearing, comprising: a machine tool having a working surface; an X-axis assembly including a workpiece spindle, the workpiece spindle being arranged parallel to the Z-axis of the working surface; a Z-axis assembly including a large grinding wheel spindle, the projection of the large grinding wheel spindle on the YZ plane forming an acute angle with the negative Z-axis of the working surface; and a W-axis assembly including a small grinding wheel spindle, the projection of the small grinding wheel spindle on the YZ plane being parallel to the Z-axis of the working surface, wherein the workpiece spindle, the large grinding wheel spindle, and the small grinding wheel spindle are configured to rotate the workpiece, the large grinding wheel spindle, and the small grinding wheel spindle.

[0004] However, this technical solution has the following shortcomings: the flange on the spindle slide is installed at a low position, far from the swing center, and has a large lever arm, resulting in poor stability and low precision during the rotation of the rotating shaft assembly; moreover, the equipment has low connection strength and is prone to deformation under load. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a direct-drive CNC indexing plate assembly mounting structure. The direct-drive CNC indexing plate assembly mounting structure uses a direct-drive motor assembly and is designed to reduce the axial distance between the drive plane of the direct-drive motor assembly and the rotation plane of the indexing plate, thereby shortening the distance from the sway center. The lever arm is small, resulting in small rotational sway, which in turn makes the rotation more stable and more accurate.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A direct-drive CNC indexing plate assembly mounting structure includes a Y-axis slide, a direct-drive motor assembly mounted on the Y-axis slide, and an indexing plate driven and connected to the direct-drive motor assembly; the Y-axis slide is configured as a frame-shaped structure with height, and the direct-drive motor assembly includes a drive assembly and a bearing assembly connected to the upper end of the drive assembly, the drive assembly being housed within the frame-shaped cavity of the Y-axis slide.

[0008] Preferably, the bearing assembly is fitted onto the upper end face of the Y-axis slide or housed within the frame cavity of the Y-axis slide.

[0009] Preferably, the direct drive motor assembly further includes a connecting flange assembly connected to the upper end face of the bearing assembly, wherein the inner ring of the bearing assembly is synchronously rotatably connected to the main shaft of the drive assembly, the bottom of the connecting flange assembly is connected to the inner ring, and the top is connected to the indexing plate.

[0010] Preferably, the outer ring of the bearing assembly is mounted on the top surface of the Y-axis slide, the outer diameter of the outer ring is adapted to the size of the Y-axis slide, and the lower end face of the outer ring supports the upper end face of the Y-axis slide.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the Y-axis slide adjacent to the upper end face is the assembly surface of the drive assembly and the Y-axis slide. This assembly surface is configured as a limiting step A of at least one level, and the drive assembly is matched and limitedly mounted on the limiting step A.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting step A is provided with two levels.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the indexing plate is assembled with the top of the connecting flange assembly, and the assembly surface of the two is set as at least one limiting step B, and the connecting flange assembly is matched and limitedly installed on the limiting step B.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting step B has two levels.

[0015] Preferably, the system further includes a rotating shaft assembly mounted on the indexing plate.

[0016] This utility model also provides a CNC grinding machine, including: a grinding machine base, and a direct drive CNC indexing plate assembly mounting structure as described above, the direct drive CNC indexing plate assembly mounting structure being slidably mounted on the grinding machine base.

[0017] Preferably, the grinding machine base is provided with a Y-axis slide rail, and the Y-axis slide table is slidably mounted on the Y-axis slide rail.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

The bottom of the connecting flange assembly 23 is connected to the inner ring 221, and the top is connected to the indexing plate 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, the direct drive CNC indexing plate assembly mounting structure adopts a direct drive motor assembly, and the axial distance between the drive plane of the direct drive motor assembly 2 and the rotation plane of the indexing plate 4 is reduced, the distance from the swing center is shortened, the lever arm is small, and thus the rotation swing is small, resulting in more stable rotation and higher precision.

[0030] Preferably, the outer ring 222 of the bearing assembly 22 is mounted on the top surface of the Y-axis slide 1, the outer diameter of the outer ring 222 is adapted to the size of the Y-axis slide 1, and the lower end face of the outer ring 222 supports the upper end face 11 of the Y-axis slide 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the Y-axis slide 1 is vertically raised and a bearing assembly 11 is installed on its upper end face 11, thereby changing the installation position of the turntable. That is, the matching slide is raised to shorten the distance from the swing center and the lever arm is smaller, thus making the rotation more stable and more accurate.

[0035] In addition, by setting the slide table as a frame structure with increased height and thickness, compared with the traditional single-plate structure, the connection strength of the equipment is increased, the bending resistance and strength are improved, the deformation under weight is small, and the stability is strong.
