Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a special articulated arm milling cutter holder device, belonging to the field of mechanical technology. Background Technology

[0002] Since both outer ends of the impeller have sealing plates, the cavity channel is approximately a curved path in space. Therefore, it is difficult to machine the inner cavity using general machining methods. Even CNC machining centers with multi-axis linkage cannot insert the tool into the narrow curved cavity for machining, making the machining difficult. Moreover, the existing impeller structures are all cast, and the roughness and protrusions on the impeller surface cannot be repaired. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a special curved arm milling cutter bar device. The curved arm milling cutter bar can extend into the cavity and perform circumferential radial milling by fitting the cavity curve path as the working path.

[0016] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 7, a dedicated articulated arm milling cutter holder device includes a CNC connecting seat 1, an articulated arm tool holder 2, a flexible shaft 3, a right-angle milling head 4, a transition sleeve 10, a worm gear 11, and a worm 12. One side of the CNC connecting seat 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the articulated arm tool holder 2, and the other end of the articulated arm tool holder 2 is fixedly installed with a transition sleeve 10. A worm gear 11 is installed inside the transition sleeve 10, and a worm 12 is provided on one side of the outer side of the transition sleeve 10. The worm 12 is meshed with the worm gear 11, and a right-angle milling head 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the worm gear 11. The right-angle milling head 4 includes a bevel gear A5, a bevel gear B6, a milling cutter shaft 7, and a milling cutter head 8. The right-angle milling head 4 contains several bearings 9, the milling cutter shaft 7 is installed in the bearings 9, the bevel gear B6 is fixedly installed at one end of the milling cutter shaft 7, the milling cutter head 8 is fixedly installed at the other end of the milling cutter shaft 7, the milling cutter head 8 protrudes from the right-angle milling head 4, and the bevel gear A5 is installed in the right-angle milling head 4 and meshes with the bevel gear B6; the crank arm tool holder 2 contains a flexible shaft 3, one end of which is fixedly installed with the bevel gear A5, and the other end of which is fixedly installed with the spindle of the CNC machine tool. The flexible shaft 3 is composed of several universal joints; the CNC connecting seat 1 has several mounting holes for connecting to the front end of the square slide block of the special boring machine.

[0017] On the side adjacent to the worm 12, the tail of the transition sleeve 10 is provided with a pull-out clamping block 13. The clamping block 13 can be inserted into the worm 12. The worm 12 and the clamping block 13 are arranged at right angles. Angle dimension lines are engraved at the connection between the right-angle milling head 4, the transition sleeve 10 and the crank arm tool holder 2.

[0018] This dedicated articulated arm milling cutter holder is used as an auxiliary head. It is installed on the front end of the square slide of a dedicated boring machine. The CNC connecting seat 1 of the dedicated articulated arm milling cutter holder is fixed to the front end of the square slide of the dedicated boring machine by bolts. The dedicated boring machine model is TK6916 or TK6913. This dedicated articulated arm milling cutter holder can also be connected to an end milling machine.

[0019] This articulated arm milling cutter holder adopts a thermally symmetrical structure and a curved elbow arm layout. It consists of a CNC connecting seat 1 (as a CNC connection part), an articulated arm cutter holder 2, and an indexable right-angle milling head 4, forming a curved arm structure. All components have been calculated using the finite element method, giving the overall cutter holder composed of the articulated arm cutter holder 2 and the right-angle milling head 4 high strength, connection rigidity, and vibration resistance. In use, this dedicated articulated arm milling cutter holder device can be installed at the front end of a CNC floor-mounted boring and milling head via the CNC connecting seat 1. It uses an end face key and a 7:24 taper fit, and is firmly locked to the boring and milling head by pull studs. The machine tool's CNC function is used to realize the X, Y, and Z axis feed motion of the cutter holder. The tool can be controlled to move along the inner side curve of the cavity through CNC programming and interpolation of each axis to meet the contour milling of the inner curved surface of the impeller 14 cavity.

[0020] The main drive for milling in the dedicated articulated arm milling cutter holder is transmitted by the spindle of the CNC machine tool. The spindle drives the bevel gear A5 to rotate via the flexible shaft 3 of the universal joint structure. The bevel gear A5 drives the meshing bevel gear B6 and the milling cutter shaft 7 to rotate under the support of the upper and lower bearings 9. The milling cutter shaft 7 simultaneously drives the milling cutter head 8 to rotate. In this way, the spindle of the machine tool drives the internal gear set of the articulated arm to transmit power sequentially to the milling cutter head 8. Through gear reversal, the tool axis is made perpendicular to the inner curved surface of the impeller 14. The right-angle milling head 4 can rotate along the axis of the tool holder. The operation is manual. When rotating, the clamping block 13 needs to be loosened. The working angle is adjusted by the worm gear 11 and the worm 12. The worm 12 drives the worm gear 11 to rotate the right-angle milling head 4. After the angle is adjusted, the clamping block 13 is re-inserted into the worm 12 to lock the right-angle milling head 4. The right-angle milling head 4 and the transition sleeve 10 are engraved with angle dimension lines at the connection between them and the crank arm tool holder 2. After each axial machining of the curve is completed, the tool angle is adjusted manually to enter the machining of the next curve. After multiple machining operations, the milling of the entire cavity can be completed.

[0021] Because the internal cavity space of the impeller 14 is small, with a width of only 66mm at its narrowest point, the diameter of the milling head 8 in the right-angle milling head at the front end of the crank arm tool holder 2 must be ≤60mm, and the length of the straight section must be ≤80mm. Therefore, only a small-sized connected indexable tool head structure can be selected. The diameter of the selected insert is φ12mm, and the diameter of the tool holder is φ12mm. Then, the process parameters are determined according to the machining process. It is known that the workpiece material of the impeller 14 is stainless steel with a material hardness of HB≤270. Then the tool can be set as follows: feed rate f=0.1-0.2mm / r, depth of cut ap≤0.6mm, cutting speed V=70-150m / min, and the insert grade YBG252 indexable finish milling insert is pre-selected.

[0022] This dedicated articulated arm milling cutter holder uses 3D CAD modeling to optimize its structure. In terms of structural performance, it achieves powerful, high-speed, and multi-angle milling functions. It is equipped with advanced domestic and foreign functional parts and accessories, making it a high-performance dedicated auxiliary tool with high processing efficiency.
