Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool technology, specifically to a hydraulic tailstock structure. Background Technology
[0002] When machining radial holes in shaft gears, hydraulic clamps often use a double-center positioning method to hold the workpiece.
[0003] Traditional tailstock mechanisms often use springs to provide preload. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN217393776U provides a tailstock for a machine tool, including a base. A first sleeve is provided on the base, and a second sleeve is detachably connected inside the first sleeve. A first elastic element is provided inside the second sleeve. The movable end of the first elastic element is fixedly connected to a center point that is dynamically sealed to the second sleeve. One end of the second sleeve is threadedly connected to an adjusting column for adjusting the elastic force of the first elastic element.
[0004] However, this structure has the following drawbacks: 1) Springs are prone to fatigue failure, leading to unstable preload; 2) High-frequency motion is prone to generating vibration noise; 3) Complex structure and high maintenance costs; 4) When the spring fails, disassembly and replacement are very difficult, resulting in a waste of time and manpower.
[0005] Therefore, it cannot meet the actual operational needs. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0025] Example 1 refer to Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a hydraulic tailstock structure, including a tailstock 10, a tip 20, a thin hydraulic cylinder 30, and a locking mechanism 40. The tailstock 10 is mounted on a base plate, and its bottom is fixed to the base plate by bolts 14 and nuts. The top of the tailstock 10 is sleeved on the outside of the tip 20, which is slidably connected to the tailstock 10, allowing the tip 20 to move along its axial direction to loosen and tighten the workpiece. During tightening, to ensure the reliability of workpiece processing, the locking mechanism 40 is located on one side of the tip 20 and contacts it, used to lock the tip 20 and improve its reliability. The fixed end of the thin hydraulic cylinder 30 is connected to the tail end of the tailstock 10, and its output end extends into the tailstock 10 and connects to the tail end of the tip 20, used to adjust the movement of the tip 20 according to processing requirements.
[0026] To further explain, a sleeve 21 is fitted on the outer side of the tip 20. The tip 20 and the sleeve 21 are detachably connected. The inner diameter of the sleeve 21 matches the outer shape of the tip 20. The tip 20 can be a frustum. The outer diameter of the tip 20 gradually decreases from the first end to the last end, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the sleeve 21 and the tip 20 and preventing slippage. The tailstock 10 is fitted on the outer side of the sleeve 21. The tip 20 is slidably connected to the tailstock 10 through the sleeve 21. The output end of the thin hydraulic cylinder 30 is connected to the tail end of the sleeve 21, so that the output end of the thin hydraulic cylinder 30 adjusts the position of the tip 20 by driving the sleeve 21 to move back and forth in the tailstock 10.
[0027] Specifically, a cover plate 22 is provided at the tail end of the sleeve 21, and a cylinder rod 31 is provided at the output end of the thin cylinder 30. The cylinder rod 31 and the cover plate 22 are detachably connected by a first screw. The first screw is M8x25 in size, and a right-center washer is fitted on the head of the first screw. The right-center washer contacts the cover plate 22. The head of the first screw is located in the sleeve 21, and the tail of the first screw is threadedly connected to the cylinder rod 31. The detachable connection between the cover plate 22 and the tail end of the sleeve 21 facilitates disassembly and assembly for later maintenance and reduces the difficulty of operation.
[0028] To further explain, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the sleeve 21 and the tip 20, a tip disassembly sleeve 24 is provided on the tip 20. The tip disassembly sleeve 24 is located on the outside of the tailstock 10 and close to the head end of the tip 20. The tip 20 can be disassembled with the help of the tip disassembly sleeve 24.
[0029] To ensure the limited displacement distance of the center point 20 and the tightness requirement of the workpiece, a transverse limiting groove 23 is opened on the outer surface of the sleeve 21. The transverse limiting groove 23 is set along the axis of the sleeve 21. A first limiting post 11 is set on the tailstock 10. The bottom of the first limiting post 11 extends through the tailstock 10 into the transverse limiting groove 23. During operation, the sleeve 21 drives the center point 20 to move under the drive of the thin hydraulic cylinder 30. The moving distance of the sleeve 21 is the distance when the first limiting post 11 contacts both sides of the transverse limiting groove 23.
[0030] To further explain, the locking mechanism 40 includes a locking rod 41, a locking hydraulic cylinder 42, and a pressure plate 43. The top of the locking rod 41 is located above the tailstock 10, and the bottom of the locking rod 41 extends into the tailstock 10. The locking rod 41 is movably connected to the tailstock 10 and contacts the periphery of the sleeve 21. The fixed end of the locking hydraulic cylinder 42 is connected to the outside of the tailstock 10, and the output end of the locking hydraulic cylinder 42 is connected to one end of the pressure plate 43. The other end of the pressure plate 43 contacts the top of the locking rod 41.
[0031] The locking hydraulic cylinder 42 extends and retracts, causing the pressure plate 43 to move up and down. The pressure plate 43 then presses the locking rod 41 downwards, ensuring that the locking rod 41 maintains close contact with the sleeve 21. This limits the movement of the sleeve 21, preventing it from slipping and causing a failure to tighten, thus further ensuring operational reliability.
[0032] To further explain, a locking groove is provided on one side of the locking rod 41. The locking groove fits with the circumference of the sleeve 21. The axis of the locking groove is in the same direction as the axis of the sleeve 21. When the locking rod 41 moves downward, the inner wall of the locking groove contacts the outer wall of the sleeve 21 and squeezes the sleeve 21 to lock the tip 20. A second limiting groove is provided on the other side of the locking rod 41. The second limiting groove is opened along the axis of the locking rod 41. A second limiting post 12 is provided on the tailstock 10. One end of the second limiting post 12 is located on the outside of the tailstock 10, and the other end of the second limiting post 12 extends into the second limiting groove to limit the downward and upward movement of the locking rod 41.
[0033] Preferably, a return spring 44 is provided inside the locking rod 41. The locking rod 41 is elastically connected to the tailstock 10 through the return spring 44. When the pressure plate 43 moves downward, the locking rod 41 compresses the return spring 44 downward. After the pressure plate 43 is lifted, the return spring 44 pushes the locking rod 41 up and down, releasing the limitation on the sleeve 21.
[0034] The output end of the locking hydraulic cylinder 42 is fitted with a tapered sleeve 45. The outer diameter of the tapered sleeve 45 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The tapered sleeve 45 is connected to the output end of the locking hydraulic cylinder 42 through a limiting pin 46. One end of the pressure plate 43 is fitted on the outside of the tapered sleeve 45 to ensure the reliability of the connection between the pressure plate 43 and the locking hydraulic cylinder 42.
[0035] To further explain, a tailstock shim 13 is provided at the bottom of the tailstock 10. The tailstock shim 13 is connected to the bottom of the tailstock 10 by an adjusting screw 15. The distance between the tailstock 10 and the tailstock shim 13 can be adjusted by adjusting the screw 15, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the tailstock 10 and further meeting different operating requirements.
