Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of processing equipment, and in particular to a dual-output narrow milling head. Background Technology
[0002] Right-angle milling heads generally refer to transverse milling heads. Transverse milling heads are the most commonly used machine tool accessories among all angle heads, used to expand the machining range of machine tools. They are widely used for large workpieces or products requiring high precision. Transverse milling heads include single-output right-angle milling heads and double-output right-angle milling heads. Existing double-output right-angle milling heads generally have complex structures, limiting their size and preventing them from becoming very narrow. Conventional double-output right-angle narrow milling heads generally use two transmission modes: one is bevel gears combined with multiple spur gears for transmission. This transmission method uses many gears, resulting in high mechanical losses and low cutting volume; the other is direct bevel gear transmission. This transmission method improves kinetic energy transmission and cutting volume, but due to the influence of bevel gears, the head needs to be very wide and large. Regardless of the transmission method, to make the milling head narrower, the common practice is to adjust the gear ratio to create a reduction mode. Therefore, existing narrow milling heads cannot achieve a 1:1 transmission ratio. However, non-1:1 transmission ratios encounter problems such as difficulty in tapping and inaccurate boring positioning during actual machining.
[0003] For example, the existing patent with publication number CN221064583U: A new type of dual-output right-angle milling head has poor rigidity of the transmission gear on one side, resulting in more energy loss due to the transmission of gears. The increased voids in the housing cavity affect the performance and strength. Only a single bearing is used on both sides of the output shaft, resulting in poor cutting performance, poor waterproof sealing, and easy entry of cutting fluid that damages the bearings during the cutting process. Summary of the Invention
