Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shaft processing technology, and in particular to a grooving machine. Background Technology
[0002] Grooving machines are used to process shafts. Existing grooving machines use a robotic arm to grasp the shaft and transport it to the processing position. The shaft is then clamped by the spindle and tailstock of the grooving machine before processing. However, because this structure relies on the robotic arm for positioning and then clamping by the spindle and tailstock, the positioning may not be accurate. This means that the processing head may not be able to align with the center hole of the clamped shaft during processing, which may lead to deviations in processing accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical solution to be solved by this utility model is to provide a grooving machine with high processing accuracy.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a grooving machine, including a worktable, a spindle box disposed at one end of the worktable and a tailstock disposed at the other end of the worktable, wherein the spindle box is provided with a first support seat for supporting one end of a positioning shaft, and the tailstock is provided with a second support seat for supporting the other end of the positioning shaft.
[0005] Preferably, both the first support base and the second support base include a fixing member fixed to the spindle box or tailstock, an extension member with one end horizontally connected to the fixing member, a mounting base fixed to the other end of the extension member, and a placement base that slides vertically on the mounting base, and the upper end of the placement base is provided with a positioning groove for positioning the rotating shaft.
[0006] Preferably, the positioning groove is an inverted trapezoid.
[0007] Preferably, the placement seat is provided with at least two vertical oblong holes, and the mounting seat is provided with through holes that match the position of the oblong holes. The placement seat is locked onto the mounting seat by a locking member passing through the oblong holes and the through holes.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting base is provided with a mounting hole, and the other end of the extension is provided with an adjustment seat, with the other end of the extension extending into the mounting hole and the adjustment seat extending out of the mounting hole, and the adjustment seat is provided with a vertical adjustment nut that abuts against the lower end of the placement base.
[0009] Preferably, the fixing member on the second support base is also provided with a horizontal adjusting nut that abuts against the tailstock.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages by adopting the above structure: by setting up a first support seat and a second support seat, the robot arm can place the rotating shaft on the two support seats after it is delivered. The rotating shaft will be supported and positioned by the support seats after being placed on them. Then, the rotating shaft is clamped by the main shaft and the tailstock, and the position of the rotating shaft is accurate. As a result, the processed product has high precision.
[0011] The support base with this structure can be adjusted according to the rotating shaft being processed, and the adjustment is also relatively convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0020] Example 1:
[0021] A grooving machine, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a worktable 1, a spindle box 2, a tailstock 3, a first support 5, and a second support 6, wherein:
[0022] The spindle box 2 is fixed at one end of the worktable 1;
[0023] Tailstock 3 is slidably connected to the guide rail on the worktable 1, so that the position of tailstock 3 can be adjusted.
[0024] First support 5 and second support 6, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, all include a fastener 7, an extension 8, a mounting base 9, and a placement base 10, but the shape and fastening method of the fastener 7 are different.
[0025] The fixing part 7 of the first support seat 5 is a U-shaped fixing plate, which is fixed on the spindle box 2. The fixing part 7 of the second support seat 6 is two U-shaped rings, which are fitted onto the tailstock 3 for fixing.
[0026] The extension 8 is the same on both support bases. One end is fixed to the fixing part 7, and the other end is provided with an adjusting seat 16. The adjusting seat 16 is provided with a threaded hole for the vertical adjusting nut 17 to be threaded.
[0027] Mounting base 9, both of which are the same, has mounting holes 15 at the bottom for the extension 8 to pass through and for the adjustment seat 16 on the extension 8 to extend out. Mounting base 9 also has two horizontally arranged through holes 13 at the top for the locking member 14 to pass through.
[0028] The placement seat 10, like the two support seats, has two horizontally arranged oblong holes 12 at its lower part, which match the positions of the two through holes 13 on the mounting seat 9. This allows the locking member 14 to pass through the oblong holes 12 and the through holes 13 to lock the placement seat 10 onto the mounting seat 9. The position of the locking member 14 in the oblong holes 12 can be adjusted to adjust the height of the placement seat 10. The upper part of the placement seat 10 is provided with a positioning groove 11, and its overall shape is an inverted trapezoid.
[0029] During normal installation, adjustments should be made first. You can loosen the locking piece 14 and then adjust the vertical adjusting nut 17 to easily adjust the height of the placement seat 10. After that, tighten the locking piece 14.
[0030] Working principle: First, the robot arm will transport the rotating shaft 4. Then, the robot arm will place the rotating shaft 4 on the first support seat 5 and the second support seat 6. The first support seat 5 supports one end and the second support seat 6 supports the other end. Then, the rotating shaft 4 is clamped by the tailstock 3 and the spindle box 2. At this time, the rotating shaft 4 is accurately positioned after being clamped, so the processed product has high precision.
[0031] Example 2:
[0032] The difference from Example 1 is that, as Figure 3As shown in Embodiment 2, the lower part of the fixing part 7 of the second support seat 6 is also provided with a threaded hole, and a horizontal adjusting nut 18 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. That is, one end of the horizontal adjusting nut 18 is against the tail seat 3, so the position of the second support seat 6 can be adjusted by adjusting the horizontal adjusting nut 18.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
[0034] For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications will undoubtedly be apparent after reading the above description. Therefore, the appended claims should be considered as covering all changes and modifications that encompass the true intent and scope of this utility model. Any and all equivalent scope and content within the scope of the claims should be considered as still falling within the intent and scope of this utility model.
