[0002] Horizontal rotary tables are widely used in various numerical control machine tools, mainly in numerical control machining machine tools such as milling machines and drilling machines, for fixing and rotating workpieces. The horizontal rotary tables in the prior art are basically driven by servo motors through gear transmission or worm gear to drive the mandrel to rotate the table top. The workpiece is fixed on the table top, and a protective structure is arranged between the table top and the end face of the shell to prevent foreign matters such as condensed water, hydraulic oil, cutting fluid or dust from entering the interior. However, the existing horizontal rotary table still has at least the following disadvantages:

[0042] For further illustrating the technical means and effects taken by the present application to achieve the predetermined purposes, the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects thereof according to the present application are described in detail as follows in combination with the drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "an embodiment" or "embodiments" refer to different embodiments, which are not necessarily the same embodiment. In addition, the specific features, structures or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0043] In combination with the drawings shown in FIG. 1-4, the present application discloses a motor direct drive horizontal rotary table, comprising: a support seat 1; a shell fixed on the support seat 1, the shell specifically comprising a main shell 21 and a front cover plate 22 and a rear cover plate 23 respectively assembled at both ends of the main shell 21; a core shaft transversely arranged in the main shell 21, which is a hollow cylindrical structure, can reduce the mass to reduce the rotational inertia of the core shaft to improve the rotation accuracy of the horizontal rotary table; a bearing 6 arranged between the core shaft and the main shell 21; a direct drive motor coaxially arranged with the core shaft, driven by the direct drive motor to rotate the core shaft relative to the main shell 21 according to the bearing 6; a table top 5 fixed at one end of the core shaft, which is a disc-shaped structure for fixing the workpiece to be processed, the table top 5 is located on the outer side of the front cover plate 22 and drives the table top 5 to rotate by the core shaft, so that the workpiece fixed on the table top 5 rotates as needed to meet the processing needs; a first protection structure arranged between the table top 5, the front cover plate 22 and the end of the core shaft, which prevents foreign matter such as condensed water, hydraulic oil and cutting fluid from entering the rotary table during the processing process from the rotating gap between the table top 5 and the front cover plate 22; a master control center for controlling the direct drive motor and controlling the protection airflow provided to the first protection structure.

[0044] The core shaft adopts a segmented structure to facilitate the assembly and later disassembly and maintenance of the horizontal rotary table. The core shaft specifically comprises a first core shaft 31, a second core shaft 32 and a third core shaft 33 which are transversely and coaxially connected in sequence, both ends of the first core shaft 31 are respectively a driving end 311 and a connecting end 312, the connecting end 312 extends out of the front cover plate 22 and is fixedly connected with the table top 5, the driving end 311 is fixedly connected with the second core shaft 32, and the direct drive motor is connected with the driving end 311 of the first core shaft 31.

[0045] Specifically, the bearing 6 is sleeved on the first core shaft 31 to support the rotation of the core shaft relative to the main shell 21; and the bearing 6 is arranged close to the connecting end 312 of the first core shaft 31. Since the direct drive motor is connected with the driving end 311 of the first core shaft 31, and the bearing 6 is arranged close to the connecting end 312 of the first core shaft 31, the bearing 6 provides rotational support for the connecting end 312, which can reduce the axial jump of the connecting end 312 of the first core shaft 31 during rotation relative to the driving end 311, so as to reduce the jump amplitude of the table top 5 and improve the rotation accuracy of the horizontal rotary table.

[0046] Specifically, the direct drive motor comprises a motor rotor 41 sleeved on the first shaft 31 and a motor stator 42 for driving the motor rotor 41, the motor stator 42 is fixed on the inner wall of the main housing 21, and the motor rotor 41 is fixed on the driving end 311 of the first shaft 31. By adopting the direct drive motor to directly drive the shaft and installing the direct drive motor inside the housing, the overall structure of the horizontal rotary table is compact, and there is no mechanical transmission structure and no cogging effect when the traditional servo motor is driven, so that the rotation accuracy of the horizontal rotary table is greatly improved.

[0047] In addition, the motor rotor 41 is spaced apart from the bearing 6, and the motor rotor 41 is fixed at the fixed connection between the driving end 311 and the second shaft 32. This structure reduces the axial runout amplitude of the connecting end 312 of the first shaft 31 by spacing the motor rotor 41 and the bearing 6 to cooperate to improve the rotation accuracy, and directly drives the second shaft 32 by the motor rotor 41 to make the second shaft 32 have no runout error relative to the first shaft 31, which provides the implementation condition for the disc grating 91 to accurately detect the rotation of the table top 5 when the disc grating 91 is installed on the second shaft 32.

[0048] Specifically, the second shaft 32 is provided with a stepped position, and the disc grating is fixed on the stepped position of the second shaft 32. In addition, the third shaft 33 is exposed outside the rear cover plate 23, so that the horizontal rotary table can be connected to other parts of the numerical control machine tool as needed through the third shaft 33 to meet the actual machining needs. The inner side of the rear cover plate 23 is provided with a reading head 92 matched with the disc grating 91.

[0049] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, one end side of the motor rotor 41 has a first interval with the bearing 6, the transverse dimension of the first interval is L1; the other end side of the motor rotor 41 has a second interval with the rear cover plate 23, the transverse dimension of the second interval is L2; the motor rotor 41, the motor stator 42 and the first shaft 31 are coaxially arranged, and the motor rotor 41 and the motor stator 42 have a third interval, the third interval is arranged to communicate the first interval and the second interval to form a heat dissipation channel of the motor stator 42; the axial dimension of the third interval is L3, L3 < L2 < L1, so that the heat dissipation channel formed on the side of the motor stator 42 is large, and the heat dissipation effect of the motor stator 42 installed inside the housing is good to ensure the stable and reliable operation of the direct drive motor.

[0050] In addition, by setting L3 to be small so that the motor rotor 41 and the motor stator 42 have a reasonable rotation gap, the direct drive motor can be ensured to have stable and reliable operation and better working efficiency; by setting L1 to be maximum so that the motor rotor 41 is arranged as far away from the bearing 6 as possible, the motor rotor 41 and the bearing 6 are cooperated to reduce the runout error of the rotating table 5 to improve the rotation accuracy of the horizontal rotary table; by setting L2 to be relatively small compared with L1 but larger than L3, the second shaft 32 and the third shaft 33 are designed to have a relatively short axial length so that the overall structure of the rotary table is more compact.

[0051] The first protection structure is arranged to form an air curtain seal between the table 5, the front cover plate 22 and the connecting end 312 of the first shaft 31 to prevent foreign matters from entering from the rotation gap between the table 5 and the front cover plate 22. The first air inlet 221 is arranged in the front cover plate 22 and communicates with the first protection structure. Of course, an outer extension section 211 of the first air inlet can also be arranged on the main housing 21 to communicate with the first air inlet 221. An external air source is injected into the first protection structure through the outer extension section 211 and the first air inlet 221 as needed to form an air curtain seal in the first protection structure, thereby preventing foreign matters from entering the main housing 21 to affect the working accuracy of the horizontal rotary table and preventing damage to the direct drive motor.

[0052] Especially in combination with FIGS. 2 and 4. The first protection structure comprises a first air equalizing ring groove 71 formed between the outlet of the first air inlet and the connecting end 312 of the first shaft 31. Since the shaft is a hollow cylinder, the first air equalizing ring groove 71 is arranged in a ring around the connecting end 312. At least one first drainage channel 72 is axially arranged in the front cover plate 22 and communicates with the first air equalizing ring groove 71. When the shaft rotates to a position where the first drainage channel 72 is downward from the first air equalizing ring groove 71, foreign matters entering the first air equalizing ring groove 71 can be discharged from the first drainage channel 72. A first air outlet is formed by the gap between the table 5 and the front cover plate 22. The first air outlet comprises a flow-increasing sub-air channel 731 having a bending structure and an air exhaust sub-air channel 732 having a straight line structure. The lateral spacing of the flow-increasing sub-air channel 731 is smaller than that of the air exhaust sub-air channel 732. A first water-proof groove 74 is arranged in communication between the flow-increasing sub-air channel 731 and the air exhaust sub-air channel 732. A first water guide slope 741 is arranged between the inner wall of the first water-proof groove 74 and the air exhaust sub-air channel 732. The flow-increasing sub-air channel 731 forms a narrow tube effect relative to the air exhaust sub-air channel 732. The flow-increasing sub-air channel 732 accelerates the blowing of the gas in the first air equalizing ring groove 71 to accelerate the blowing of foreign matters in the first water-proof groove 74 through the air exhaust sub-air channel 732.

[0053] The protection air flow with preset pressure P1 is provided to the first air inlet 221 controlled by the master control center, the protection air flow fills the first air equalizing ring groove 71 through the first air inlet 221, and diffuses into the flow-increasing sub-air channel 731 through the first air equalizing ring groove 71 in the circumferential direction to be accelerated and blown out from the air outlet sub-air channel 732 to form a sealed air curtain in the rotation avoiding gap between the table top 5 and the front cover plate 22.

[0054] During the working process of the horizontal rotary table, if foreign matters such as condensed water, hydraulic oil, cutting fluid or dust fall into the air outlet sub-air channel 732, they will be blown away by the air flow accelerated and blown out from the air outlet sub-air channel 732, and it is difficult for them to fall into the air outlet sub-air channel 732. If the foreign matters have a large mass, they will first enter the first water-proof groove 74 after falling into the air outlet sub-air channel 732 against the protection air flow. With the continuous rotation of the rotary table, the foreign matters stay in the first water-proof groove 74. When the first water-proof groove 74 is located above the air outlet sub-air channel 732, the air flow can easily blow the foreign matters in the first water-proof groove 74 out, so that the first water-proof groove 74 forms the first level protection of the first protection structure against the foreign matters.

[0055] In some preferred embodiments, a first water-blocking ring 51 coaxial with the mandrel is protruded on the inner side of the table top 5, and a second water-blocking ring 222 is protruded on the side of the front cover plate 22. The first water-blocking ring 51 and the second water-blocking ring 222 are oppositely arranged in a staggered and spaced manner, so that the flow-increasing sub-air channel 731 with a bending structure and a small transverse size is formed between the table top 5 and the front cover plate 22, so that the flow-increasing sub-air channel 731 can form a narrow tube effect relative to the air outlet sub-air channel 732.

[0056] Further, a second water-proof groove 75 is arranged on the horizontal side of the second water-blocking ring 222, and the second water-proof groove 75 is in communication with the first water-proof groove 74 through a first vertical air channel 7311. The first vertical air channel 7311 is part of the flow-increasing sub-air channel 731, and the first vertical air channel 7311 is located in the range of the orthographic projection of the air outlet sub-air channel 732.

[0057] If the foreign matters with a large mass further fall down from the first water-proof groove 74 under the action of their own weight, they will enter the second water-proof groove 75. Similarly, when the second water-proof groove 75 is located above the first water-proof groove 74 during the rotation of the rotary table, the foreign matters will be blown out from the second water-proof groove 75 through the first vertical air channel 7311 and the air outlet sub-air channel 732 directly and quickly under the action of their own weight and the protection air flow, so that the second water-proof groove 75 forms the second level protection of the first protection structure.

[0058] In some preferred embodiments, a third water-blocking ring 52 is further provided on the inner side of the table top 5 and located inside the second water-blocking ring 222, the third water-blocking ring 52 abuts against the connecting end 312, and the first air equalizing ring groove 71 is located between the second water-blocking ring 222 and the third water-blocking ring 52; and a third waterproof groove 76 is provided on the connecting end 312, the orthographic projection of the first air inlet 221 on the connecting end 312 is located in the third waterproof groove 76, and the third waterproof groove 76 and the third water-blocking ring 52 have a second water guide slope 761, and one end of the first water outlet passage 72 is located in the third waterproof groove 76.

[0059] If the foreign matter with a larger mass can further fall into the first air equalizing ring groove 71 against the protective air flow in the first air outlet under the action of its own weight, it will fall into the third waterproof groove 76; at the same time, since the orthographic projection of the first air inlet 221 on the connecting end 312 is located in the third waterproof groove 76, the first air inlet 221 blows the protective air flow directly into the third waterproof groove 76, and when the horizontal rotary table is rotated to the position where the first water outlet passage 72 faces downward, the foreign matter falling into the third waterproof groove 76 can be blown out of the first water outlet passage 72 to the outside by the protective air flow, so that the third waterproof groove 76 and the first water outlet passage 72 cooperatively form the third level of protection of the first protective structure to prevent foreign matter from entering.

[0060] Further, the first protective structure further comprises a second air outlet 733 formed by the gap between the front cover plate 22 and the connecting end 312; and a fourth waterproof groove 77 is provided on the side of the front cover plate 22 facing the connecting end 312, and the fourth waterproof groove 77 is located opposite to the third waterproof groove 76.

[0061] If the foreign matter such as condensed water, hydraulic oil and cutting fluid enters the third waterproof groove 76, in order to prevent the foreign matter from entering the inside through the gap between the front cover plate 22 and the connecting end 312, a fourth waterproof groove 77 located opposite to the third waterproof groove 76 is provided, so that part of the foreign matter entering the second air outlet 733 is thrown into the fourth waterproof groove 77 under the centrifugal force during the rotation of the horizontal rotary table, and when the horizontal rotary table is further rotated to the position where the fourth waterproof groove 77 is located above the third waterproof groove 76, the foreign matter can fall into the third waterproof groove 76 and be discharged from the first water outlet passage 72. Therefore, the fourth waterproof groove 77 and the third waterproof groove 76 cooperatively form the fourth level of protection of the first protective structure to prevent foreign matter from entering.

[0062] In addition, the third core shaft 33 and the rear cover plate 23 have a second protective structure, and a second air inlet 231 is provided in the rear cover plate 23 and communicates with the second protective structure.

[0063] The second protection structure is completely identical to the first protection structure, or the second protection structure is partially identical to the first protection structure, for example, the second protection structure only has the first level of protection of the first protection structure, or has the first and second levels of protection of the first protection structure, or has the first, second and third levels of protection of the first protection structure, and the detailed description is not repeated here.

[0064] The protection gas flow provided for the first air inlet 221 can be realized by an external air pump or an electrically controlled valve and an external air source, and the air pump or the electrically controlled valve is controlled by the master control center.

[0065] The master control center controls the direct drive motor and the protection gas pressure provided by the first air inlet for the first protection structure. Specifically, before the master control center controls the direct drive motor to start, the master control center controls the first air inlet to provide a protection gas flow with a preset pressure P1, to ensure that the horizontal rotary table has formed a gas curtain sealing protection with good sealing performance before starting to rotate.

[0066] After the direct drive motor starts, the master control center generates a random jitter control signal (for example, the length of the control signal is 3s, 5s) in each preset period T (for example, T is 30s, 60s, 120s), and based on the random jitter control signal, the protection gas flow provided for the first air inlet is randomly increased or decreased to generate a protection gas pressure fluctuation, so that the foreign matter entering the first protection structure changes position based on the protection gas pressure fluctuation to promote the foreign matter to be discharged from the first protection structure.

[0067] When the master control center generates a random jitter control signal to randomly increase or decrease the protection gas flow of the first air inlet, the gas flow pressure in the first air inlet and the first air outlet will correspondingly increase or decrease, thereby generating a protection gas pressure fluctuation; based on the protection gas pressure fluctuation, the foreign matter entering the first protection structure will break the force balance before the protection gas pressure fluctuation, thereby the foreign matter will change position based on the protection gas pressure fluctuation, so that the foreign matter which is not easily blown out by the protection gas flow before the position change can increase the probability of being blown out by the protection gas flow, to promote the foreign matter to be discharged from the first protection structure.

[0068] For example, if the cutting fluid remains in the first water tank 74 far away from the first vertical air duct 7311 under the action of the centrifugal force of the rotary table for a long time and is difficult to be blown out by the protection gas flow, when the protection gas pressure fluctuation is switched, the air pressure in the first water tank 74 will increase or decrease, and especially when the air pressure changes, the foreign matter in the first water tank 74 will change position towards the first vertical air duct 7311, thereby increasing the opportunity of the foreign matter being taken out through the first vertical air duct 7311 or further falling into the first air ring groove 71 and finally being discharged from the first drainage passage 72.

[0069] Therefore, by generating the protective air pressure fluctuation, not only the sealing performance of the first protective structure in preventing foreign matters from entering the inside of the rotary table during the rotation of the horizontal rotary table can be improved, but also it can be ensured that no foreign matters remain in the first protective structure before the horizontal rotary table stops rotating, so as to avoid that the remaining foreign matters enter the inside of the rotary table after the motor stops working.

[0070] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
