Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic grooving technology, and specifically to an automatic grooving device. Background Technology
[0002] A milling machine is a type of machine tool that uses one or more milling cutters with single or multiple cutting edges to perform rotary cutting on the surface of a workpiece. When a milling machine cuts grooves into a workpiece such as a gear, it first selects a suitable milling cutter according to the shape, size and accuracy requirements of the groove, and uses a suitable fixture to clamp the workpiece on the worktable. Then, it determines the cutting speed and groove depth requirements according to the tool and the workpiece material to mill the workpiece.
[0003] However, current milling machines require preliminary machining of the workpiece before disassembling, fixing, and milling it into shapes such as cross grooves when milling gears and other workpieces. This makes it inconvenient to automatically cut grooves on the workpiece, and repeated installation and disassembly can reduce the processing efficiency of batch workpieces. Therefore, to address this problem, we propose an automatic grooving device that digitizes the milling machine. First, the workpiece is mounted on the clamping table, and a straight groove is milled on the workpiece. Then, a cylinder pushes the clamping table to rotate 90 degrees, and another straight groove is milled on the workpiece. This allows for the automatic milling of grooves such as cross grooves on the workpiece. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 5 An automatic grooving device includes a base 1, a milling cutter 2, a support table 3, a grooving table 4, a rotating shaft 5, a clamping table 6, a self-adjusting assembly, a main clamping plate 7, a slave clamping plate 8, and a clamping assembly. The milling cutter 2 is rotatably mounted on one side of the base 1 via the cutting assembly, which includes a milling machine, a spindle, and a motor. The milling cutter 2 is mounted on the spindle of the milling machine and rotates under the drive of the spindle. The spindle is driven by a motor and obtains different speeds through a transmission device (such as gears, belts, etc.) to meet the cutting speed requirements of different processing materials and processing requirements. The rotation of the milling cutter 2 is the main power source for cutting. Its cutting edge cuts the workpiece material during rotation, removing excess material and forming the required processing surface. The support table 3 makes linear feed motion on the base 1 through a transmission structure such as guide rails and lead screws. When processing the workpiece... First, the milling of the first straight groove is completed by moving the support table 3 to achieve the relative motion of the cutting feed between the milling cutter 2 and the workpiece. After the milling is completed, the support table 3 returns to its original position. Then, the self-adjusting component drives the clamping table 6 to rotate 90 degrees, and the support table 3 is controlled to feed linearly again to complete the milling of the second straight groove. Finally, the automatic processing of composite groove types such as cross grooves is achieved. The grooving table 4 is set at the top of the support table 3, and the rotating shaft is detachably set on the grooving table 4. The clamping table 6 is rotatably set at the top of the rotating shaft 5. The self-adjusting component is set between the clamping table 6 and the grooving table 4. There are two main clamping plates 7, which are moved towards each other and set on the clamping table 6. There are two slave clamping plates 8, which are moved towards each other and set between the two main clamping plates 7. The clamping component is set between the two main clamping plates 7 and the two slave clamping plates 8.
[0045] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 The self-adjusting assembly includes an adjusting plate 9, a rotating column 10, an electric push rod 11, an adjusting frame 12, and a pushing plate 13. The adjusting plate 9 is movably mounted on the grooving table 4, which has a movable groove for the adjusting plate 9 to move. The rotating column 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the adjusting plate 9, and the grooving table 4 has a rotating groove for the rotating column 10 to rotate, allowing the adjusting plate 9 to rotate stably within the movable groove. The electric push rod 11 is detachably mounted on one side of the adjusting plate 9 via a connecting seat, so the adjusting frame 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 11. The pushing plate 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping table 6, and the pushing plate 13 is rotatably connected to the adjusting frame 12. A limiting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the moving push rod 11. A limiting groove is provided on the grooving table 4 for the limiting rod 22 to rotate. The limiting rod 22 can provide stable support for the electric push rod 11. At the same time, when the electric push rod 11 moves, the limiting rod 22 will also move accordingly in the limiting groove, which can provide stable support for the electric push rod 11. A stabilizing column 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the clamping table 6. A stabilizing plate 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the stabilizing column 20. A stabilizing opening and a stabilizing groove are provided on the rotating shaft 5 for the stabilizing column 20 and the stabilizing plate 21 to rotate, which can increase the stability of the clamping table 6 rotating on the rotating shaft 5, so that the clamping table 6 can drive the workpiece to rotate stably.
[0046] When it is necessary to adjust the grooving angle of the workpiece (such as when machining a cross groove on a gear), firstly, the milling cutter 2 mills a straight groove on the workpiece, and then the electric push rod 11 is started, which pushes the adjusting frame 12 so that the adjusting frame 12 and the push plate 13 drive the clamping table 6 to rotate. When the clamping table 6 rotates to ninety degrees, the milling cutter 2 mills another straight groove on the workpiece. At the same time, during the rotation of the clamping table 6, the electric push rod 11 will be pulled to perform corresponding movements, and the adjusting plate 9 will also move accordingly in the movable groove, without affecting the rotation of the rotating shaft 5 and the workpiece.
[0047] refer to Figure 4The clamping assembly includes a fixed post 14, a rotating rod 15, a threaded rod 16, a rotating handle 17, and a limiting port. The fixed post 14 is connected through the clamping table 6. There are two rotating rods 15, which are rotatably connected through the fixed post 14 and the clamping table 6. The two rotating rods 15 are in a cross-shaped staggered fit. There are multiple threaded rods 16, which are fixedly connected to the two rotating rods 15 respectively. The multiple threaded rods 16 are also threadedly connected to the two main clamping plates 7 and the two secondary clamping plates 8 respectively. The rotating handle 17 is fixedly connected to each threaded rod 16. There are multiple limiting ports, which are arranged in a circumferential array on the clamping table 6. The two main clamping plates 7 and the two secondary clamping plates 8 are respectively movable and disposed in the multiple limiting ports, which can limit the movement of the main clamping plates 7 and the secondary clamping plates 8.
[0048] When workpieces of different specifications are placed on the clamping table 6, the multiple rotating handles 17 are rotated respectively, so that the multiple rotating handles 17 drive the multiple threaded rods 16 to rotate, so that the two main clamping plates 7 move towards each other, and the two secondary clamping plates 8 also move towards each other and get closer. Thus, the two main clamping plates 7 and the two secondary clamping plates 8 can stably clamp workpieces of different specifications, and then the workpieces of different specifications can be cut.
[0049] refer to Figure 3 The connecting seat includes a connecting plate 18 and connecting screws 19. The connecting plate 18 is disposed on one side of the electric push rod 11, and multiple connecting screws 19 are provided. All multiple connecting screws 19 are threadedly connected between the connecting plate 18 and the adjusting plate 9.
[0050] By tightening multiple connecting screws 19 between the connecting plate 18 and the adjusting plate 9, the connecting plate 18 can be connected and disassembled on the adjusting plate 9, thereby allowing the electric push rod 11 to be installed and removed from one side of the adjusting plate 9.
[0051] refer to Figure 1 The bottom end of the rotating shaft 5 is connected to a mounting plate 23, and there are two mounting screws 24 threadedly connected between the mounting plate 23 and the grooving table 4.
[0052] By tightening the two mounting screws 24 between the mounting plate 23 and the grooving table 4, the mounting plate 23 can be installed and removed on the grooving table 4, so as to facilitate the installation and removal of the rotating shaft 5. This makes it easy to disassemble and replace the rotating shaft 5 and the clamping table 6, and allows for the placement and clamping of workpieces of different specifications.
[0053] In this embodiment, the workpiece to be cut is first placed on the clamping table 6, and multiple rotating handles 17 are rotated, causing multiple rotating handles 17 to drive multiple threaded rods 16 to rotate, so that the two main clamping plates 7 and two secondary clamping plates 8 can stably clamp the workpiece. Then, the workpiece can be grooved. When it is necessary to adjust the grooving position of the workpiece, the electric push rod 11 is activated, and the adjusting frame 12 will drive the push plate 13 to move. At the same time, the clamping table 6 can drive the workpiece to rotate. When the clamping table 6 rotates to ninety degrees, the workpiece can be cut at different angles again.
[0054] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
