Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a CNC gear turning machine, and more particularly to a tool holder structure for a CNC gear turning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218335356U, published on January 17, 2023, discloses a novel gear turning machine, comprising a machine body, a workpiece turntable mounted on the machine body, a B-axis gear cutting tool device, an X-axis moving mechanism for driving the workpiece turntable to move, a Z-axis moving mechanism for driving the B-axis gear cutting tool device to move vertically, a Y-axis moving mechanism for driving the Z-axis moving mechanism to move horizontally, and an A-axis rotating mechanism for driving the B-axis gear cutting tool device to rotate relative to the Z-axis moving mechanism. This structure has the following drawbacks: the distance between the gear cutting tool and the rotation center line of the A-axis rotating mechanism cannot be adjusted; furthermore, because the A-axis rotating mechanism is mounted on the Z-axis moving mechanism, and the Z-axis moving mechanism is mounted on the Y-axis moving mechanism, and the A-axis rotating mechanism is a relatively small turntable, while the inherent size of the B-axis gear cutting tool device on which the gear cutting tool is mounted is relatively long, the distance between the mounted position of the gear cutting tool and the rotation center line of the A-axis rotating mechanism is relatively large, resulting in a cantilever structure with poor stress distribution, affecting rigidity and machining accuracy.

[0003] In addition, because the diameter of the turntable of the A-axis rotary mechanism is small, it is easy to have a large deviation when controlling its rotation angle to adjust the angle of the cutting tool far from its center, that is, the adjustment accuracy requirement is very high. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tool holder structure for a CNC gear turning machine with a reasonable structure and precise and convenient adjustment of the A-axis rotation angle.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: A tool holder structure for a CNC gear turning machine includes a tool rotating chuck, a tool holder assembly, and a carrier. The tool holder assembly includes a swing disk and a longitudinal slide plate. The swing disk is rotatably mounted on the carrier. The carrier is provided with an A-axis drive mechanism for controlling the swing disk to swing left and right. A seat is provided outside the tool rotating chuck. The seat is mounted on the longitudinal slide plate. The seat is provided with a chuck drive mechanism. The swing disk is provided with a Y-axis moving mechanism for driving the longitudinal slide plate to move longitudinally. The tool rotating chuck is provided with a tool clamping part.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can also be achieved by the following technical measures: As a more specific embodiment, the swing disk is fan-shaped, and the lower end of the swing disk is rotatably engaged with the lower end of the carrier via a rotating shaft; the upper outer circumference of the swing disk is provided with an arc-shaped toothed surface; the A-axis drive mechanism includes a drive gear and a swing angle control servo motor, the swing angle control servo motor is connected to the drive gear, and the drive gear meshes with the arc-shaped toothed surface.

[0008] As a further embodiment, the swing angle of the swing disk is within 17.5 degrees.

[0009] As a further embodiment, the tool clamping part is located near the rotation center line of the oscillating disk.

[0010] As a further embodiment, the longitudinal slide plate is longitudinally slidably mounted on the swing disk, and the Y-axis moving mechanism includes a longitudinal control screw transmission pair, which is connected between the swing disk and the longitudinal slide plate and controls the longitudinal movement of the longitudinal slide plate.

[0011] As a further embodiment, the Y-axis moving mechanism also includes a support plate, a longitudinal linear guide rail, and a longitudinal slider. The support plate is disposed on the swing disk, the longitudinal linear guide rail and the longitudinal slider slide against each other and are respectively connected to the support plate and the longitudinal sliding plate. The longitudinal control screw transmission pair is connected between the support plate and the longitudinal sliding plate. The support plate and the longitudinal sliding plate are located above the rotation center line of the swing disk.

[0012] As a further embodiment, a braking mechanism is provided between the carrier and the swing plate. The braking mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder and a pressure block. An arc-shaped guide groove is provided on the swing plate around its rotation center line. The inner sidewall of the arc-shaped guide groove is provided with a stepped surface or a conical surface that is wider at the front and narrower at the back.

[0013] As a further embodiment, the rear end of the rotating shaft extends beyond the rear end of the carrier and is provided with a brake disc, and damping brakes are provided on both sides of the carrier corresponding to the brake disc.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: (1) The tool holder of this high-precision CNC gear turning machine is longitudinally adjusted on the swing plate.
