Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of large worktable CNC cornering mechanism, and in particular to a large worktable CNC cornering mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Existing large-scale CNC cornering mechanisms mostly employ toothed belt or gear drives. Toothed belt drives suffer from insufficient rigidity, easily leading to a decrease in cornering accuracy; while gear drives provide higher rigidity, they struggle to overcome transmission backlash, affecting positioning accuracy. Furthermore, traditional transmission mechanisms lack effective backlash compensation mechanisms, and prolonged use can result in accuracy degradation due to wear. Therefore, a cornering mechanism solution that combines high rigidity, backlash-free transmission, and ease of maintenance is needed.

[0003] To address these issues, we propose a large-scale CNC cornering mechanism for worktables. Utility Model Content

The modular design facilitates maintenance, and the chain replacement time is shortened to less than 30 minutes, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

The displacement sensor is connected to the control system to achieve dynamic tension compensation. The spring damping assembly is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the chain tension adjustment mechanism and connected to the eccentric wheel through a connecting rod. It is fixed on the bracket of the chain tension adjustment mechanism. The sensor probe is vertically aligned with the chain surface to detect the chain displacement in real time.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the corner locking cylinder adopts a hydraulically driven wedge block structure with a locking force ≥10kN and a response time <0.5s.

[0010] In a further embodiment, the bottom of the rotary table is provided with an annular guide rail, and the surface of the annular guide rail is coated with a wear-resistant ceramic coating, which, together with a precision roller bearing, achieves rotational positioning.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the cross-section of the annular guide rail is trapezoidal, with precision roller bearings symmetrically arranged on both sides. The preload of the precision roller bearings is adjusted by a disc spring, which is located within the preload adjustment device of the precision roller bearing, specifically installed between the inner ring of the bearing and the adjusting nut.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3A large-scale CNC cornering mechanism for a workbench includes a servo cornering motor 1, which is connected to a precision chain 3 via a flange coupling 8. A torque sensor 9 is embedded inside the coupling, which monitors the transmission torque in real time and feeds it back to the CNC system. When the torque exceeds a set threshold, the system automatically cuts off the motor power to prevent overload damage to the chain or bearings. The precision chain 3 adopts a double-row roller chain design, with a carburized and hardened surface, and a pitch error controlled within 0.02mm to ensure smooth transmission without jumping. A chain tension adjustment mechanism 4 is installed on the non-drive side of the chain, and its eccentric wheel 10 is driven to rotate by a servo motor, changing the chain path length to adjust the preload. The spring damping assembly consists of two symmetrically arranged helical springs and a hydraulic damper, used to absorb the impact vibration during high-speed chain operation. A displacement sensor detects the chain displacement in real time and sends the data to the control system, dynamically correcting the angle of the eccentric wheel 10 to maintain constant chain tension. The bottom of the rotary table 2 is equipped with a ring-shaped guide rail 6. The guide rail has a trapezoidal cross-section and is coated with a 0.2mm thick alumina ceramic coating with a hardness ≥HV1200, significantly improving wear resistance. Precision roller bearings 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the guide rail. The inner ring of the bearing is pre-tightened by a disc spring, and the pre-tightening force can be set to 5-15kN via an adjusting bolt, ensuring no radial clearance during table rotation. Angle locking cylinder 5 is installed below the guide rail. Its wedge block is made of high-strength alloy steel. The hydraulic system drives the wedge block to move tangentially along the guide rail, generating a clamping force ≥10kN during locking with a response time <0.5s, effectively eliminating minor displacement after positioning. During assembly, first, the servo angle motor 1 and flange coupling 8 are fixed to the base, then the precision chain 3 is installed, and the chain tension adjustment mechanism 4 is adjusted to the initial tension. The rotary table 2 is then assembled with the annular guide rail 6, and the concentricity of the precision roller bearing 7 is adjusted using a laser calibrator, with the error controlled within 0.005mm. Finally, the hydraulic lines and electrical control system are connected to complete the debugging.
