Description

A suspended drilling equipment Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drilling, and in particular relates to a suspended drilling device. Background Art

[0002] During the assembly, welding, and processing of special vehicles, the bridge holes must be machined after the vehicle body is assembled and welded to ensure the relative position and dimensions of each bridge hole. Furthermore, because the surrounding holes are dimensionally related to the bridge holes, drilling is often performed after the bridge holes are machined. Existing drilling equipment uses tracks laid on both sides of the vehicle body to move between processing positions. Before drilling a hole, the equipment is positioned at the bridge hole and the clamping device is manually adjusted. Because the size of the hole position is determined by a positioning plate, which corresponds to the hole position dimensions, and the drilling unit's external dimensions match a specific vehicle body model, it can only drill holes for one vehicle body model.

[0003] The structure and drilling dimensions of existing drilling equipment are designed based on the drilling of holes around bridge holes on a specific vehicle body. During operation, the equipment moves along a track, dragging the crawler chain. This requires considerable manpower, and the drilling mechanism's clamping device must be manually adjusted. After each drilling group, the cutter bar must be manually disassembled and adjusted to the next drilling group. Due to the significant differences in the structure and drilling position dimensions of different vehicle body models, the existing equipment's track travel and structural design make it impossible to drill holes around bridge holes on a wide range of vehicle body models.

The output end of the reduction motor II (3a2) is installed with a gear III (3a3), and the lower end is installed with a rear support seat (3a6).

[0028] The drilling unit (3b) comprises: a fixed seat (3b1), a reduction motor III (3b2), a drive motor III (3b3), a quick-change collet (3b4), a tool rod (3b5), and a tool (3b6).

[0029] As shown in FIG6 (in the description, the left and right sides of the main view are regarded as the front and back), a quick-change collet (3b4) is installed at the front end of the fixed seat (3b1), and a reduction motor III (3b2) is installed at the rear end. A tool bar (3b5) is installed at the front end of the quick-change collet (3b4). A tool (3b6) is installed at the front end of the tool bar (3b5).

The drilling template (325) has two groups of holes, A and B, with different pitch circles.

[0030] Working process:

[0031] 1. The operator holds the handrail (303) of the drilling mechanism and uses manpower to rotate the Ω-shaped guide rail (205) and pushes the intelligent power-assisted suspension device (206) to slide on the Ω-shaped guide rail (205) to achieve the forward, backward, left, and right movement of the drilling mechanism (3). The operator controls the intelligent power-assisted suspension device (206) by the up and down switch (305) on the handrail (303) to achieve the up and down power-assisted movement of the drilling mechanism (3).

[0032] 2. Move the drilling mechanism (3) to the bridge hole of the vehicle body, quickly position it through the guide plate (310), use the hydraulic tension switch (304) to control the hydraulic cylinder (313) to stretch, and drive the pressing plate (314) to rotate to the inner wall of the bridge hole and then shrink and press.

[0033] 3. A specific machining program is input through the control cabinet (101) in the control system (1). When the control system (1) starts the machining program, the drive motor I (317) drives the gear I (319) to rotate through the reduction motor I (318), transmitting power to the gear II (330). When the drilling unit (3b) is at the zero position (the four drilling units (3b) are symmetrically arranged in groups of two, and the machining points of the two groups of drilling units (3b) have different pitch circles relative to the detection spindle (312). When machining the vehicle body, one of the drilling units (3b) is used according to the size requirements), the locking clamp (322) of the brake device locks the brake disc (329) to prevent the drilling unit (3b) from rotating during machining. The drive motor III (3b3) drives the reduction motor III (3b2) to rotate, and outputs power to the tool (3b6) through the tool bar (3b5). The driving motor II (3a1) drives the reduction motor II (3a2) to rotate, and transmits the power to the gear IV (3a4) through the gear III (3a3), thereby rotating the feed screw (3a4), driving the slider (335) below the fixed base (336) of the slider of the drilling unit (3a) to slide on the track (334), thereby completing the feeding action of the drilling unit (3a).

[0034] 4. After completing a group of hole processing, the drive motor II (3a1) is reversed, and the retraction action of the drilling unit (3a) is completed by driving the feed screw (3a4) to reverse. At this time, the locking clamp (322) of the brake device releases the brake disc (329), and the drive motor I (317) drives the drilling unit (3a) to rotate to the position of the next group of holes. The brake device repeats the locking action, and the drive motor II (3a1) drives the drilling unit (3a) to repeat the feeding action. This is repeated until the entire group of holes is processed.

[0035] The drilling mechanism takes the column as the center, the Ω-shaped guide rail as the radius, and the bow-shaped arm as the support. It can realize the processing of each bridge hole on one side of the vehicle body, and the drilling range is not less than 5200㎜.

[0036] The installation positions of the four drilling units are fixed by the holes on the drilling template. There are two groups of holes, A and B, on the drilling template, with pitch circles of φ304.5 and φ305 respectively.

[0037] Quick positioning through the arc-shaped guide plate, and the rotatable hydraulic clamping device can be hydraulically clamped with one button.

[0038] Double axis symmetry, CNC simultaneous feed drilling.

[0039] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
