Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hardware processing equipment technology, and in particular to a spindle lifting drive mechanism for a hardware processing machine. Background Technology
[0002] The working principle of a precision machining center for hardware involves high-precision cutting, forming, or surface treatment technologies, which aim to process metal raw materials into parts that meet strict requirements for size, shape, and surface quality, so as to be suitable for precision assembly on different products.
[0003] Currently, precision machining machines for hardware parts on the market are generally divided into linear stepper type and rotary type. Linear stepper type precision machining machines use a chain as the medium and indexing cams to achieve stepping conveying action. During the chuck conveying process, processing is performed at various workstations. This type of equipment has many chucks, the chain is prone to misalignment, and the processing accuracy is relatively poor. Therefore, rotary type precision machining machines are now more commonly chosen for precision machining of hardware parts.
[0004] Regarding disc-type precision machining machines for hardware, Chinese patent CN201710525911.X discloses a disc-type multi-station pen tip processing device. In this design, the lifting drive for the machining head uses a motor + cam-like rocker arm structure. The center line of the connecting shaft is eccentrically set relative to the center line of the output shaft. When the connecting shaft rotates with the output shaft of the first drive motor, the connecting rod moves up and down under the drive of the connecting shaft, thus driving the lifting rod to move up and down, and consequently driving the machining head to move up and down. However, in practical applications, this drive structure requires extremely high dimensional accuracy at the connections between various components. Even a small error can lead to a decrease in motion accuracy. Furthermore, when the equipment operates at high speed, fatigue wear easily occurs at the connections between various components, and vibration is generated due to inertial forces, leading to unstable equipment operation and reduced service life. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0036] Detailed implementation plan: See below Figures 1-8This utility model relates to a spindle lifting drive mechanism for a hardware processing machine. The hardware processing machine includes a frame 1 and an upper support frame 2 mounted above the frame 1. The upper support frame 2 includes a base 21, and a processing body is provided above the base 21. The processing body includes an upper plate 7, and a plurality of through holes 72 are provided around the edge of the upper plate 7. A processing tool 8 is placed in each of the through holes 72. The spindle lifting drive mechanism includes:
[0037] Servo motor 3 is mounted on base 21;
[0038] The lead screw assembly 4 is linked to the servo motor 3 and includes at least a second lead screw 43, on which a nut seat 44 is mounted;
[0039] Mounting base 9 is fixed on nut seat 44;
[0040] Several rocker arm assemblies 5 are arranged around the periphery of the mounting base 9, and each includes a support 51 mounted above the upper plate 7, and a rocker arm 52 rotatably mounted on the support 51. One end of the rocker arm 52 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 9, and the other end is rotatably connected to the machining head 8.
[0041] As a preferred embodiment of this example, please refer to Figure 1 As can be seen, the lead screw assembly 4 also includes a first lead screw 41 linked to the servo motor 3, a second lead screw 43 arranged above the first lead screw 41, and a coupling 42 is provided between the first lead screw 41 and the second lead screw 43.
[0042] Then, please continue reading. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As can be seen, the second lead screw 43 is equipped with a first bearing seat 61 and a second bearing seat 71. The nut seat 44 is located above the second bearing seat 71. The processing body also includes a base plate 6 arranged below the upper plate 7. The base plate 6 is installed on the first bearing seat 61, and the upper plate 7 is installed on the second bearing seat 71.
[0043] When the mounting base 9 needs to be raised or lowered, the servo motor 3 operates and drives the first lead screw 41 to rotate (a coupling 42 is also provided between the motor rod of the servo motor 3 and the first lead screw 41). Since the coupling 42 is provided between the first lead screw 41 and the second lead screw 43, the second lead screw 43 can be driven to rotate. Since the nut seat 44 is mounted on the second lead screw 43 and the mounting base 9 is fixed on the nut seat 44, the nut seat 44 and the mounting base 9 can be driven to rise and fall together along the second lead screw 43.
[0044] In addition, in this embodiment, a support column is fixed above the base 21, and the chassis 6 is fixed above the support column. By setting a first bearing seat 61 at the center of the chassis 6 and a second bearing seat 71 at the center of the upper plate 7, and by having the second lead screw 43 pass through the first bearing seat 61 and the second bearing seat 71, the rotation of the second lead screw 43 can be made more stable, and there will be no swaying during operation.
[0045] Next, please refer to Figure 3 As can be seen, in this embodiment, a swing arm plate 10 is fixedly installed above the upper plate 7, and several supports 51 are fixedly installed above the swing arm plate 10.
[0046] Note that in this embodiment, the swing arm 52 is provided with a rotating shaft for rotating and cooperating with the support 51. A bearing is provided between the support 51 and the rotating shaft, thereby ensuring that the swing arm can rotate smoothly on the support 51.
[0047] Please see Figure 6 As can be seen, in this embodiment, the outer wall of the mounting base 9 is provided with an annular groove 91, and one end of the swing rod 52 is provided with a roller, which extends into the annular groove 91.
[0048] In this embodiment, a fixing plate 82 is provided on the machining head 8, and a guide rod 81 arranged vertically is fixed on the fixing plate 82. A plurality of guide holes 73 are provided around the edge of the upper plate 7, and the guide rod 81 is inserted into the guide holes 73. The upper end of the guide rod 81 extends above the fixing plate 82 and forms an upper section. Two transition blocks 83 arranged vertically at intervals are fixed on the upper section. The ends of the two transition blocks 83 that are close to each other are arc-shaped. A connecting block 53 is fixed to the end of the swing rod 52, and the connecting block 53 extends between the two transition blocks 83.
[0049] Here, the guide rod 81 and the guide hole 73 are provided to guide the lifting direction of the machining head 8, thereby making the machining head 8 rise and fall more smoothly along the extension direction of the through hole 72.
[0050] Furthermore, one end of the rocker arm 52 is rotatably connected to the annular groove 91 of the mounting base 9 via a roller, while the other end is placed between two adapter blocks 83. When the mounting base 9 rises, it will cause one end of the rocker arm 52 to rise along with it. According to the lever principle, at this time, the rocker arm 52 rotates around the support 51, driving the other end of the rocker arm 52 to descend, thereby driving the machining head 8 to descend.
[0051] Here, the arrangement of the rocker arm assembly results in less force acting on the mounting base 9 when driving the machining head 8 to rise and fall, thus saving more effort and making the equipment run more stably.
[0052] Note that in practical applications, other rotating structures can also be used at both ends of the rocker arm 52 to achieve a rotating connection with the mounting base 9 and the machining head 8.
[0053] In this embodiment, the parameters of the servo motor 3 are easy to adjust. As described above, when it is necessary to adjust the lifting speed and lifting distance of the machining head 8, the parameters of the servo motor 3 can be adjusted. The drive is precise and can meet the high-speed operation of the equipment. The structure is stable and the equipment has a long service life.
[0054] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 7 As can be seen, in this embodiment, the servo motor 3 is fixedly installed below the base 21.
[0055] More specifically, in this embodiment, the machining cutter heads 8 are arranged at uniform intervals along the circumference of the upper plate 7, and the rocker arm assembly 5 is arranged at uniform intervals along the circumference of the rocker arm plate 10.
[0056] The spindle lifting drive mechanism of this utility model is described above only as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the patent scope of this utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of this utility model using the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
