Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor shaft processing technology, specifically a motor shaft grooving device. Background Technology
[0002] The motor shaft is an important part of the motor. As the link between the motor and the equipment for electromechanical energy conversion, it supports rotating parts, transmits torque, and determines the relative position of rotating parts with respect to the stator. Sometimes, the end of the motor shaft needs to be slotted so that other parts can be matched and installed with it.
[0003] In the existing technology, slotting the end of the motor shaft requires the use of a lathe. First, the motor shaft is placed on the work station and fixed. Then, the lathe tool works to cut and slot the end of the motor shaft. After the slotting is completed, the machined motor shaft is removed from the work station manually and then the motor shaft to be processed is placed in. This is very inconvenient and has low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0018] 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.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-3This utility model discloses a motor shaft grooving device, including a lathe 1. A pneumatic chuck 2 is installed on the spindle of the lathe 1. A tool post 3 is installed on the slide box of the lathe 1, and a cutting tool 4 is installed on the tool post 3. A tailstock 5 is fixedly installed on the lathe 1, and a feed cylinder 6 is installed on the tailstock 5. A push rod 7 is installed on the output end of the feed cylinder 6. A feeding mechanism 8 is installed on the lathe 1. A pneumatic gripper 806 grips the workpiece in the picking area. A Y-axis linear module 804 and a lifting cylinder 805 drive the workpiece. After the workpiece is moved to the designated processing position, the feed cylinder 6 drives the push rod 7 to push the workpiece into the pneumatic chuck 2 to clamp and fix it. Then, the pneumatic gripper 806 releases the workpiece. After the spindle of the lathe 1 runs, the workpiece is grooved by the cutting tool 4. After the processing is completed, the pneumatic gripper 806 grabs the workpiece, the pneumatic chuck 2 and the push rod 7 reset and release the workpiece, and the slide cylinder 803 drives the workpiece to retract. Then, the workpiece is placed in the storage area. This process is repeated continuously to improve the grooving efficiency at the end of the motor shaft.
[0020] The feeding mechanism 8 includes a rotary cylinder 801, a bracket 802, a slide cylinder 803, and a Y-axis linear module 804. The bracket 802 is mounted on the turntable of the rotary cylinder 801, the slide cylinder 803 is mounted on the bracket 802, the Y-axis linear module 804 is mounted on the output end of the slide cylinder 803, and a lifting cylinder 805 is mounted on the slide of the Y-axis linear module 804. A pneumatic gripper 806 is mounted on the output end of the lifting cylinder 805, and a semi-circular clamping plate 807 is mounted on the two grippers of the pneumatic gripper 806.
[0021] Specifically, the lathe 1 is equipped with a coolant nozzle 9, and the coolant nozzle 9 is close to the cutting tool 4.
[0022] In this embodiment, the coolant nozzle 9 is used to spray coolant. During the machining process, the coolant acts as a lubricant, which can reduce the friction between the workpiece and the tool and effectively extend the tool's service life.
[0023] Specifically, the pneumatic chuck 2 is fitted with a limit plug 10, and the tool holder 3 is located close to the pneumatic chuck 2.
[0024] In this embodiment, the main function of the pneumatic chuck 2 is to fix and clamp the workpiece during machining, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the machining process. Its working principle is that the piston movement within the cylinder drives the connecting rod or linkage to achieve radial movement, thereby clamping or releasing the workpiece. It is widely used in various machine tools, such as lathes, drilling machines, and machining centers, and is particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent and rapid workpiece changes. Due to its ability to quickly adjust and fix workpieces of different sizes and shapes, the pneumatic chuck 2 performs excellently in these applications, such as... Figure 1As shown, the limiting plug 10 is used to limit the length of the workpiece that is inserted into the pneumatic chuck 2, and the specific length depends on the total length of the workpiece and the position of the groove.
[0025] Specifically, the pneumatic chuck 2 and the tailstock 5 are located at both ends of the lathe 1, and the push rod 7 and the pneumatic chuck 2 are located on the same axis.
[0026] In this embodiment, the tailstock 5 is mainly used to support long workpieces to prevent them from deforming due to uneven force or bending during processing, thereby ensuring processing accuracy and stability. The feed cylinder 6 installed on the tailstock 5 is used to push the workpiece into the pneumatic chuck 2, and the push rod 7 is used to fix the other end of the workpiece and provide stable support.
[0027] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 8 is located near the slide box of the lathe 1 and is situated on the rear side of the slide box of the lathe 1.
[0028] In this implementation plan, the feeding mechanism 8 is used to realize mechanized operation, replacing manual loading and unloading, which can improve processing efficiency.
[0029] Specifically, a rubber gasket 808 is attached to the inner surface of the semi-circular clamp 807, and the semi-circular clamp 807 and the pneumatic chuck 2 are located on the same axis.
[0030] In this embodiment, the rubber gasket 808 has good elasticity and is used to avoid pinching and damaging the surface of the workpiece.
[0031] In use, the pneumatic gripper 806 grips the workpiece in the material handling area. The Y-axis linear module 804 and the lifting cylinder 805 move the workpiece to the designated processing position. The feed cylinder 6 drives the push rod 7 to push the workpiece into the pneumatic chuck 2 for clamping and fixing. After the workpiece is clamped and fixed, the pneumatic gripper 806 releases the workpiece. After the spindle of the lathe 1 runs, the cutting tool 4 cuts grooves into the workpiece. After processing, the pneumatic gripper 806 grips the workpiece, the pneumatic chuck 2 and the push rod 7 reset and release the workpiece, the slide cylinder 803 moves the workpiece backward to retract it, and then the workpiece is placed in the storage area. The rotary cylinder 801 deflects 45° to the storage area. After the workpiece is placed down, the rotary cylinder 801 resets, and the pneumatic gripper 806 continues to pick up the workpiece from the picking area. This process is repeated continuously, which helps to improve the grooving efficiency at the end of the motor shaft. The lathe 1 is a machine tool that mainly uses a cutting tool to turn rotating workpieces. The lathe 1 is the most important type of metal cutting machine tool. In general machine manufacturing plants, lathes are the most numerous and are also called machine tools. Because it is a commonly used piece of equipment in industrial processing, this utility model will not provide much structural description.
[0032] In summary, this motor shaft grooving device uses a pneumatic gripper 806 to pick up the workpiece in the material handling area. The Y-axis linear module 804 and the lifting cylinder 805 move the workpiece to the designated processing position. The feed cylinder 6 drives the push rod 7 to push the workpiece into the pneumatic chuck 2 for clamping and fixing. After the workpiece is clamped and fixed, the pneumatic gripper 806 releases the workpiece. After the spindle of the lathe 1 runs, the cutting tool 4 cuts grooves into the workpiece. After processing, the pneumatic gripper 806 picks up the workpiece, the pneumatic chuck 2 and the push rod 7 reset and release the workpiece, and the slide cylinder 803 drives the workpiece to retract. Then, the workpiece is placed in the storage area. This process is repeated continuously, which helps to improve the grooving efficiency of the motor shaft end.
