Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, specifically to a universal angle turning tool extension holder. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of modern machinery manufacturing, the demand for machining complex parts in fields such as new energy vehicles and aerospace is increasing. For example, complex parts such as spline grooves in new energy vehicle reducers and toothed rings in aero engines require higher precision and flexibility in the machining of groove features. Under these complex working conditions, the traditional tool holder angle adjustment method has gradually revealed the following shortcomings: low angle adjustment efficiency; traditional tool holders need to be manually disassembled and repositioned, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, making it difficult to meet the machining requirements of rapid tool changes; and discontinuous angle adjustment. The inability to achieve stepless adjustment at any angle limits machining adaptability, making it difficult to meet precision requirements, especially in machining complex features such as multi-angle oil grooves and irregular grooves. A significant conflict exists between rigidity and convenience; some adjustable tool holders sacrifice structural rigidity for flexibility, leading to increased vibration during deep groove machining, affecting surface quality and dimensional accuracy. Conversely, tool holders with higher rigidity are inconvenient to adjust due to their complex structure, failing to balance efficiency and stability. Furthermore, insufficient versatility means existing tool holders are mostly designed for specific tool heads, making them incompatible with various tool heads used for turning, grooving, and threading, increasing equipment costs and complicating maintenance.
[0003] Based on the above-mentioned needs, this utility model proposes a universal angle turning tool extension holder. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a universal angle turning tool extension holder. This universal angle turning tool extension holder effectively solves the problems of traditional turning tool holders in terms of angle adjustment efficiency, angle adjustment accuracy, stability, convenience, and versatility, providing strong support for the high-precision and high-efficiency machining of complex parts in fields such as new energy vehicles and aerospace.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A universal angle turning tool extension holder includes a fixed base and an adjusting base. The fixed base consists of a lathe tool holder connecting part for connecting with a lathe tool holder and an adjusting base connecting part for connecting with the adjusting base. The adjusting base is rotatably mounted on the adjusting base connecting part. The adjusting base connecting part is provided with a rotation drive device for driving the adjusting base to rotate to adjust the angle and a locking device for locking the adjusting base on the adjusting base connecting part after adjusting the angle.
