AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In traditional CNC horizontal linear positioning axes, the horizontal bolts that fix the slide rail cause shear forces, leading to bolt loosening and deformation, which in turn causes the slide rail to drop in position, affecting accuracy and causing damage.

Method used

The linear motion seat and slide rail are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure, so the load force is applied directly to the slide rail, avoiding the shear force from being transmitted to the horizontal bolt. The force is transmitted through the snap-fit ​​between the slider and the slide rail, ensuring the stability of the slide rail.

Benefits of technology

This solves the problem of slide rail loosening and deformation due to shear force, improves the accuracy and stability of CNC moving positioning device, and avoids damage to lead screw.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC mobile positioning equipment technology, and in particular to a CNC horizontal mobile positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] A CNC linear positioning device is a servo motion mechanism directly controlled by the NC system in a CNC system. It can be used for workpiece movement and positioning, such as linear axes (X / Y / Z) or rotary axes (A / B / C) in a machining center. Traditional horizontal CNC linear positioning axes often use lead screws and lead screw-slider structures to provide linear motion, supported by slide rails mounted on the side of the housing. However, these slide rails are fixed to the housing by horizontal bolts, causing the load to act on the slide rails while the load force acts on the horizontally mounted bolts, resulting in vertical shear forces on the bolts. In the automated machining of automotive body-in-white, workpieces need to be mounted on traditional CNC linear positioning axes for movement and positioning. The load acting on the CNC linear positioning axis during workpiece movement is a dynamic load. The combined load formed by the additional forces exerted on the workpiece after it reaches its position and during machining is a static load, which is generally greater than the dynamic load. Due to the alternating effects of dynamic and static loads, bolts subjected to shear force may loosen or deform, leading to a drop in the position of the slide rail. This, in turn, causes the lead screw to be subjected to downward pressure, resulting in a series of problems such as poor accuracy or damage. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing a CNC horizontal moving positioning device. This device solves the technical problem that the use of horizontal bolts to fix the slide rail in the traditional CNC moving positioning linear axis in the horizontal direction can cause the bolts subjected to shear force to loosen or deform, which in turn leads to the slide rail position dropping and further causes the lead screw to be subjected to downward pressure, resulting in poor accuracy or damage.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A CNC horizontal moving positioning device includes a horizontal housing, a driving device, and a linear motion mechanism. The horizontal housing has a mounting cavity, and the side wall of the mounting cavity has a first horizontal groove. The driving device is installed at one end inside the mounting cavity. The linear motion mechanism includes a lead screw, a linear motion seat, and a slide rail. The lead screw is horizontally and rotatably disposed in the mounting cavity. The linear motion seat is screwed onto the lead screw. The slide rail is horizontally mounted on the first horizontal groove, and the lower end plane of the slide rail is in contact with the bottom surface of the first horizontal groove. The side of the linear motion seat is slidably engaged with the slide rail.

[0006] Furthermore, a first horizontal groove is provided on both sides of the horizontal housing, and the slide rail is installed in each of the first horizontal grooves.

[0007] Furthermore, sliders are provided on both sides of the linear motion seat, and the linear motion seat is mounted on the slide rail by means of the sliders.

[0008] Furthermore, the linear motion seat is provided with a second horizontal groove, the slider is installed in the second horizontal groove, and the top surface of the second horizontal groove abuts against the upper end surface of the slider.

[0009] Furthermore, the sliders are arranged in pairs in each of the second horizontal grooves, and each end of the second horizontal groove is provided with a slider.

[0010] Furthermore, mounting flanges are provided on both sides of the upper surface of the linear motion seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting flange is provided with a first mounting hole, and the bottom surface of the horizontal housing is provided with a plurality of sets of second mounting holes, wherein the first mounting hole can be connected with the second mounting hole for installation.

[0012] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. In use, this utility model allows for the installation of a workpiece fixture on the linear motion output end of the linear motion mechanism. A drive device drives the linear motion mechanism, moving the workpiece fixture to the workpiece clamping position. The workpiece to be processed is then mounted on the fixture, moved to the processing station for processing, and finally moved to the removal station, thus completing the processing of one workpiece for use until the next workpiece is processed. The load force transmission of this utility model involves the linear motion seat and its load acting directly on the slide rail. The lower end plane of the slide rail is connected to the bottom surface of the first horizontal groove, allowing the force of the slide rail to be directly applied to the horizontal housing. During force transmission, no shearing force is generated on the horizontal bolts fixing the slide rail. This solves the problem in traditional horizontal CNC linear positioning axes where horizontal bolts are used to fix the slide rail, leading to loosening and deformation of the bolts subjected to shearing force, causing the slide rail position to drop and further resulting in downward pressure on the lead screw, causing poor accuracy or damage.

[0014] 2. By setting a slider and having the top surface of the second horizontal groove abut against the upper end surface of the slider, the force of the linear motion seat can be directly applied to the slider. The sliding engagement between the slider and the slide rail allows the force of the slider to be directly applied to the slide rail, which facilitates the sliding of the linear motion seat and the direct transmission of force.
