Solution Overview
Problem
The existing tilting tables for machining centers face issues with durability and precision due to uneven load distribution and complex installation processes, which affect the machining center's performance and require high precision molding.
Innovation Solution
The proposed tilting table features insertion holes in the machining center's body for mounting brackets with a bracket fixing unit, including a fixing pin, adjustment bolt, and adjustment wedge, allowing for load dispersion and easy maintenance, enabling precise control of tilting body installation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If only lower ends of tilting bodies are fixed to the body of the machining center, then the structure is simple, but durability of the body is considerably affected by operation of the tilting shaft
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the mounting structure into multiple segments: brackets are inserted into insertion holes formed in the body, and multiple fixing pins are used to secure the brackets. This segmentation distributes the load from the tilting shaft operation across multiple attachment points, preventing concentrated stress on the body while maintaining structural integrity and durability.
2Device complexity
If only lower ends of tilting bodies are fixed to the body of the machining center, then the structure is simple, but high precision molding of the body is required for precise installation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces brackets as intermediary components between the tilting bodies and the body of the machining center. The brackets are inserted into insertion holes and secured with fixing pins, serving as a mediator that absorbs positioning tolerances and reduces the requirement for high-precision molding of the body itself, while still enabling precise installation of the tilting bodies.
3Measurement precision
If tilting bodies are mounted in the body of the machining center, then installation control is improved, but load distribution becomes problematic
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the load-bearing structure by introducing multiple brackets positioned at different locations on the tilting bodies. Each bracket is independently secured to the body via insertion holes and fixing pins, which divides the overall load into multiple smaller loads distributed across different attachment points, preventing excessive stress concentration while maintaining precise installation control.
