Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of precision machining equipment technology, and in particular to a high-precision horizontal rotary table. Background Technology

[0002] High-precision horizontal rotary tables are key equipment in the fields of precision machining and measurement. Their core function is to achieve high-precision angular positioning and stable torque output around a rotation axis. In existing technologies, rotary tables mostly employ a belt-driven transmission structure, using a belt to rotate the spindle. While this structure has advantages such as simplicity and low cost, it suffers from the following significant drawbacks:

[0003] Belt drives are prone to transmission errors due to elastic deformation or slippage, making it difficult to meet the micron-level angular positioning requirements; belts are prone to vibration during high-speed rotation, requiring the sacrifice of speed to maintain rigidity, resulting in a decline in the overall performance of the turntable; traditional mechanical brakes rely on friction plates for clamping, which has problems such as braking lag, heat generation and deformation, and cannot achieve rapid locking; in addition, the bearing assembly undergoes thermal expansion due to temperature rise, causing axial movement of the main shaft, affecting long-term operating accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-precision horizontal rotary table to solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] Housing, spindle core, front bearing assembly, rear bearing assembly, sleeve, worktable, holding brake, motor rotor-stator assembly and angle encoder;

[0007] The main spindle core is fixed to the housing via a front bearing assembly and a rear bearing assembly. The front bearing assembly is transitionally fitted to the main spindle core and fixed by end face screws. The outer ring of the front bearing assembly is transitionally fitted to the housing and fixed by end face screws. The rear bearing assembly is transitionally fitted to the main spindle core, and the bearing sleeve is clearance fitted to the housing.

[0008] The worktable is fixed to the front end face of the spindle core, the brake is fixedly installed on the housing, the output end of the motor rotor-stator assembly is connected to the spindle core, and the angle encoder is installed on the sleeve.

[0009] Optionally, the brake includes a thin spring plate, a brake base, and an oil chamber. The thin spring plate is installed between the brake base and the end face of the housing, and the oil chamber is located between the thin spring plate and the brake base and has sealing rings at both ends.

[0010] The oil chamber has a ring-shaped structure and is coaxially arranged with the main shaft core. The oil chamber is connected to an external pressure oil source through a hydraulic pipeline.

[0011] Optionally, the motor rotor-stator assembly includes a rotor that is interference-fitted with the main shaft core and a stator installed in the inner bore of the sleeve.

[0012] Optionally, the angle encoder includes a circular grating disk and a reading head;

[0013] The circular grating disk is fixed to the rear end of the main spindle core and rotates with the main spindle core to achieve angle measurement;

[0014] The reading head is mounted on a sleeve, which is fixed to the housing by threads or screws.

[0015] The reading head is indirectly connected to the housing via a sleeve to form a fixed measurement reference.

[0016] Optionally, the angle encoder may be a circular grating encoder or a magnetic grating encoder.

[0017] Optionally, the sleeve and the housing are fixed by a threaded connection or by locking screws.

With the thread adjustment function of the sleeve, the axial deformation caused by thermal expansion can be dynamically compensated to ensure the coaxiality of the main spindle core under high temperature conditions.

[0021] 2. This utility model adopts a permanent magnet synchronous motor direct drive structure for the motor rotor-stator assembly, with the rotor directly interference-fitted to the main shaft core, eliminating transmission chain errors and ensuring accuracy at high speeds.

[0022] 3. In this utility model, the brake base does not move, and the oil pressure causes the spring brake plate to deform and grip the main shaft.

[0039] In some embodiments, the brake 7 includes a thin spring plate 71, a brake base 72 and an oil chamber. The thin spring plate 71 is installed between the brake base 72 and the end face of the housing 1. The oil chamber is disposed between the thin spring plate 71 and the brake base 72 and is provided with sealing rings at both ends.

[0040] The oil chamber has a ring structure and is coaxially arranged with the main spindle core 2. The oil chamber is connected to an external pressure oil source through a hydraulic pipeline.

The axial position is fixed by a locking nut to achieve the preload adjustment of the rear bearing assembly 4.

[0052] Working principle: The front bearing assembly 3 is heated to 120℃ and then pressed onto the front end of the spindle core 2. After cooling, a transition fit is formed. The sleeve 5 is screwed into the threaded hole at the rear end of the housing 1. The radial runout of the rear bearing assembly 4 is adjusted using a dial indicator and then locked. After the worktable 6 is installed, the end face runout is detected using the three-point support method. If the runout exceeds the tolerance, the flange surface of the spindle core 2 is ground to correct it.
