Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical processing automation technology, and in particular to a rotary tooling pallet for multi-station processing. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern machining, with the rapid development of manufacturing towards high efficiency, high precision, and intelligence, the demand for processing complex workpieces is increasing daily. Products such as aerospace components, automotive engine blocks, precision molds, medical devices, and structural components for high-end electronic equipment are mostly complex in structure and have stringent geometric precision requirements, requiring multiple processing steps such as drilling, milling, grinding, boring, tapping, and deburring to complete the final shape. Especially in the manufacturing process of precision parts, not only are the dimensional tolerances between machined surfaces required to be controlled at the micrometer level, but also extremely high requirements are placed on form and position tolerances, surface roughness, and consistency. Therefore, how to achieve efficient connection and precision transfer between multiple processes has become a key bottleneck restricting the improvement of production efficiency and product quality.
[0003] However, traditional machining methods generally employ fixed tooling fixtures, meaning that after each process, the workpiece must be removed from the current machine tool, transferred to the next machine, and re-clamped, aligned, and tool-set. This process not only consumes a significant amount of auxiliary time, leading to extended production cycle time (clamping time often accounts for 30% to 50% of the overall machining cycle), but also introduces new positioning errors with each clamping operation. These errors accumulate and severely impact machining accuracy, making it difficult to meet high-precision requirements and even causing product scrap, thus increasing production costs.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rotary tooling tray for multi-station processing that can realize automatic workpiece transfer and precise positioning. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional fixed tooling fixtures, which require repeated clamping of workpieces and easily affect machining accuracy, this utility model provides a rotary tooling tray for multi-station machining.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a rotary tooling tray for multi-station processing, including a tray, a base, a motor, a power transmission assembly, a worm gear one, a bevel gear one, a worm gear two, a bevel gear two, and a rotating rod. The motor is mounted on the base, and the power transmission assembly is connected to the motor output shaft. The worm gear one is connected to the power transmission assembly. A mounting rod is rotatably mounted on the base. A bevel gear one is mounted on one end of the base, and a worm gear two is mounted on the other end, with the worm gear one meshing with the bevel gear one. A rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the base, with a bevel gear two mounted on the rotating rod. The worm gear two and the bevel gear two mesh, and the tray is mounted on the rotating rod.
[0007] Preferably, it also includes a slider and a slide block, with a plurality of slide blocks mounted on the tray and a slider slidably mounted on the slide blocks.
[0008] Preferably, it also includes a self-rotating jet pressurization device, which is installed on the rotating rod.
[0009] Preferably, it also includes a bearing, with a bearing disposed between the base and the rotating rod.
[0010] Preferably, the tray has several guide grooves.
[0011] Preferably, the slider has a plurality of mounting holes.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention uses a slide block fixed to a slider and sliding into a tray as each process station. The motor drives the transmission power assembly to drive the worm gear one, bevel gear one, worm gear two and bevel gear two in sequence, thereby driving the rotating rod and the tray to rotate, achieving the effect of automatic flow and precise positioning of multiple workpieces.
[0014] This invention removes debris by activating a self-rotating jet pressurization device to spray high-pressure airflow, guides the dust to be discharged in a concentrated manner through the chip removal channel of the guide groove, and reduces rotational friction resistance by utilizing the bearing between the base and the rotating rod, thus achieving a highly efficient cleaning effect during the processing.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] Example 1: A rotary tooling pallet for multi-station machining, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the device includes a tray 1, a base 101, a motor 2, a power transmission assembly 201, a worm gear 3, a bevel gear 4, a second worm gear 5, a second bevel gear 6, and a rotating rod 7. The base 101, serving as the fundamental support structure of the entire device, is made of high-strength metal material, possessing excellent rigidity and stability. The motor 2 is mounted on the base 101. The power transmission assembly 201 is equipped with a worm gear 3. The motor 2 serves as the drive source, and its output shaft is connected to the power transmission assembly 201 via a coupling. The power transmission assembly 201 further drives the worm gear 3 to rotate. A mounting rod is rotatably mounted on the base 101. The worm gear 3 on the power transmission assembly 201 meshes with the bevel gear 4 mounted on the left end of the base 101. The power is transmitted to the bevel gear 4, causing it to rotate around the axis of the mounting rod. The worm gear 5 is installed on the right end of the base 101, and the rotating rod 7 is rotatably mounted on the base 101. The bevel gear 6 is installed on the rotating rod 7. Since the bevel gear 4 and the worm gear 5 are coaxially fixed on the same mounting rod, when the bevel gear 4 rotates, the worm gear 5 also rotates synchronously. The worm gear 5 meshes with the bevel gear 6 installed on the rotating rod 7, thereby driving the rotating rod 7 to achieve precise rotational movement. The rotating rod 7 is equipped with a tray 1, which rotates synchronously with the rotating rod 7, realizing the continuous flow of the workpiece between different processing stations. Each station corresponds to a specific processing step. The workpiece can complete multiple continuous processing steps after one clamping, significantly improving production efficiency and processing accuracy.
[0021] When multi-station machining operations are required, the workpieces or fixtures to be processed are first fixed on the sliders 8 through the mounting holes. Then, these sliders 8 with workpieces are slid one by one into the slide blocks 801 on the tray 1. Each slide block 801 is a position for a machining process, and each slide block 801 represents an independent machining process position. After the initial setup is completed, the motor 2 is started. The output shaft of the motor 2 drives the power transmission component 201 to operate, efficiently transmitting mechanical energy to the worm gear 3. When the worm gear 3 rotates, it drives the bevel gear 4 that meshes with it to rotate as well. Since the bevel gear 4 and the worm gear 5 are mounted on the same mounting rod, the worm gear 5 also rotates synchronously. The rotation of the worm gear 5 further drives the bevel gear 6, thereby causing the rotating rod 7 to rotate. As the rotating rod 7 rotates, the tray 1 fixed on it rotates as well, thereby driving the entire tray 1 and the sliders 8 and slide blocks 801 on it to move together, so that each slider 8 can be smoothly transferred from the current machining process position to the next process position, realizing continuous and automated multi-process machining, significantly improving production efficiency and machining consistency.
[0022] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, it also includes a slider 8, a slide block 801, a self-rotating jet pressurization device 9, and a bearing 11. Eight slide blocks 801 are evenly distributed on the tray 1 to ensure that each workpiece obtains the optimal operating position during processing. A slider 8 is slidably mounted on each slide block 801. A self-rotating jet pressurization device 9 is installed on the rotating rod 7. This device operates synchronously during the rotation of the tray 1, spraying a directional high-pressure airflow onto the surface of the tray 1 to effectively remove metal chips, dust, and other residues generated during processing. A bearing 11 is installed between the base 101 and the rotating rod 7. The high-precision rolling or sliding structure significantly reduces the frictional resistance when the rotating rod 7 rotates. Eight guide grooves 10 are provided on the tray 1. These guide grooves 10 are not only used to guide the slider 8 to slide and position accurately on the slide block 801, but also serve as chip removal channels. When the self-rotating air pressure device 9 is working, the blown debris and dust can slide down along the guide 10, avoiding scattering and facilitating centralized cleaning or automatic discharge. Four mounting holes are evenly provided on each slider 8, which can flexibly adjust the position of the fixture or workpiece according to the needs of different workpieces, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the system.
[0023] When continuous multi-process machining of workpieces is required and the work area needs to be kept clean, the self-rotating air jet device 9 can be activated. This device operates synchronously during the rotation of the pallet 1, spraying directional high-pressure airflow onto the surface of the pallet 1 to effectively remove metal chips, dust and other residues generated during the machining process, preventing them from accumulating on the slide block 801 or the workpiece positioning area, thus avoiding affecting the subsequent machining accuracy or causing the fixture to shift. In addition, the guide groove 10 is not only used to guide the slider 8 to slide and position accurately on the slide block 801, but also serves as a chip removal channel. When the self-rotating air jet device 9 is working, the blown chips and dust can slide down along the groove of the guide groove 10, preventing them from scattering everywhere and facilitating centralized cleaning. At the same time, the bearing 11 set between the base 101 and the rotating rod 7 significantly reduces the frictional resistance when the rotating rod 7 rotates, making the pallet 1 rotate more smoothly and steadily under the drive of the motor 2, reducing vibration and noise.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
