DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0032] Referring to Figure 1 The embodiment discloses a turning and milling combined gantry machining center, which comprises a guide rail seat 1, a servo rotary table 2 and a base 3. The guide rail seat 1 is slidably connected with a gantry 11. The gantry 11 is slidably connected with a cross beam sliding plate 12. The cross beam sliding plate 12 is slidably connected with a Z-direction sliding table 13. The Z-direction sliding table 13 is installed with a main shaft 14. The gantry 11 slides forward and backward. The cross beam sliding plate 12 slides left and right. The Z-direction sliding table 13 slides up and down. The gantry 11, the cross beam sliding plate 12 and the Z-direction sliding table 13 are respectively driven to move by respective servo motors and screw mechanisms, so that the position can be accurately adjusted, and thus the accurate adjustment of the lower end position of the main shaft 14 in the XYZ three directions is realized.
[0033] The guide rail seat 1 is long strip-shaped and symmetrically provided with two guide rail seats 1. The two guide rail seats 1 are respectively slidably connected with two lower ends of the gantry 11. The servo rotary table 2 and the base 3 are located between the two guide rail seats 1. By arranging the two guide rail seats 1, transportation is facilitated, the servo rotary table 2 and the base 3 are prevented from being raised, and the overall height requirement of the gantry 11 is reduced.
[0034] The servo rotary table 2 is used for mounting a workpiece. The servo rotary table 2 is driven to rotate by a servo motor and can rotate and stop at any angle position. The servo rotary table 2 has a braking or locking function and can keep stable and immobile when stopping rotating.
[0035] Referring to Figure 2 The base 3 is provided with a side milling head 41 and a turning tool holder 42. The top surface of the base 3 is provided with a placing groove one 31 for the side milling head 41 to enter and a placing groove two 32 for the turning tool holder 42 to enter. The placing groove two 32 is provided with two placing grooves two 32 and is located on the two sides of the placing groove one 31. The placing groove one 31 penetrates to the front surface of the base 3. The height of the side milling head 41 is high, so that the side milling head 41 can move to the front surface and away from the base 3. The turning tool holder 42 can move upward and away from the base 3.
[0036] The placing groove one 31 is fixed with a support frame 33. The side milling head 41 is placed on the support frame 33 through the grooves on the two sides. Through the cooperation of the support frame 33 and the grooves on the two sides of the side milling head 41, the side milling head 41 is prevented from rotating and deviating from the angle, and the side milling head 41 is prevented from contacting the inner wall of the placing groove one 31 to generate abrasion.
[0037] The top surface of the base 3 is fixed with a cushion block 34 on both sides of the placing groove two 32, the cushion block 34 is made of non-metallic material such as rubber, polyurethane or Teflon, and the tool holder 42 is placed on the cushion block 34. The cushion block 34 will not wear the tool holder 42, and the tool holder 42 is lifted by the cushion block 34, which avoids the wear caused by the contact between the tool holder 42 and the inner wall of the placing groove two 32. The top surface of the base 3 is fixed with a positioning pin 35, the positioning pin 35 penetrates the cushion block 34, and the positioning pin 35 is inserted into the positioning hole in the bottom surface of the tool holder 42, so that the position of the tool holder 42 is accurately positioned by the positioning pin 35.
[0038] The top surface of the side milling head 41 and the tool holder 42 is fixed with a plurality of positioning blocks 43 in the circumferential direction, the plurality of positioning blocks 43 make the top surface of the side milling head 41 and the tool holder 42 present a gear ring shape, and the bottom surface of the main shaft 14 is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the shape and position of the positioning block 43. Through the plug-in cooperation of the positioning block 43 and the positioning groove, on the one hand, the main shaft 14 is accurately positioned with the side milling head 41 or the tool holder 42, and on the other hand, the rotation of the shell of the side milling head 41 or the tool holder 42 is avoided.
[0039] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , a mechanical hand device 5 and a tool holder 6 are arranged beside the guide rail base 1, and a plurality of tools are arranged and placed on the tool holder 6, wherein the tools include milling cutters, drills, taps, chamfering tools and the like. The mechanical hand device 5 is used to transfer the tools between the tool holder 6 and the main shaft 14. When the tools are changed, the main shaft 14 moves to a position close to the mechanical hand device 5. The mechanical hand device 5 is a mechanical hand with at least five axes to improve the degree of freedom. The free end of the mechanical hand device 5 is fixed with a pneumatic gripper 51, the inner wall of the gripper of the pneumatic gripper 51 is fixed with a circular arc-shaped positioning strip 52, the positioning strip 52 is used to be embedded in the ring groove on the outer side of the tool, and accurate positioning can be formed after the pneumatic gripper 51 clamps the tool. The mechanical hand device 5 acts according to the pre-set program.
[0040] The main shaft 14 is disassembled and assembled with the side milling head 41 or the tool holder 42 or other tools through axial movement. The inside of the main shaft 14 clamps the side milling head 41 or the tool holder 42 or other tools through an electric or hydraulic mechanism, which is a standardized general structure and will not be described here.
[0041] The implementation principle of the turning and milling combined gantry machining center in the embodiment of the application is that the workpiece to be machined is placed on the servo rotary table 2, the workpiece is clamped by a clamp, and the workpiece is arranged concentrically with the servo rotary table 2. A turning tool is installed on the tool holder 42 in advance, and a milling cutter is installed on the outer end of the side milling head 41. The movement trajectory of the main shaft 14 is controlled by the controller, so as to realize automatic tool changing.
[0042] Taking the valve body of a butterfly valve as an example, when the main shaft 14 uses the turning tool holder 42, the main shaft 14 does not rotate, the workpiece is rotated by the servo rotary table 2, and the main shaft 14 can move to turn the outer circle of the workpiece; when the main shaft 14 uses the side milling head 41, the servo rotary table 2 rotates the workpiece to the direction in which the flange is opposite to the side milling head 41, then the servo rotary table 2 is locked, the main shaft 14 rotates the milling cutter of the side wall of the side milling head 41, the workpiece remains not rotating, and the main shaft 14 can move to mill the end face of the flange on one side of the valve body.
[0043] For other smaller tools, the main shaft 14 is changed by the manipulator device 5, and according to different tools, the end face of the valve body can be milled, drilled and the like.
[0044] In summary, through the turning and milling combined gantry machining center, after the workpiece is clamped, the end face machining, the side wall turning (for example, turning the outer circle) and the milling (for example, milling the end face of the flange) can be completed at one time, the degree of automation is high, and the efficiency is improved.
[0045] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so that: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
