Description
本發明係關於一種用於加工工件的回轉台,尤指一種能夠起到在支承工件的同時旋轉的回轉台的功能以及以預定角度固定在旋轉狀態的分度(index)工作臺的功能的、用於加工工件的回轉台。The present invention relates to a turntable for processing a workpiece, and more particularly to a function of a turntable capable of rotating while supporting a workpiece and a function of an indexing table fixed at a predetermined angle in a rotating state. A rotary table for machining workpieces.
通常,將用於在各種切削方法或非切削方法中使用適當的工具對金屬材料或非金屬材料的形狀進行加工或用於對半成品材料進行精密加工的機器稱作機床。在機床之中,將在加工過程中產生切屑的機床稱作切削機床,並且將在加工過程中不產生切屑的非切削機床稱作塑膠加工機器。切削機床包括車床、銑床、加工中心、鑽床、鏜床、磨床、齒輪加工機、特種加工機等。金屬成形機包括機械壓床、液壓機、切削折彎機、鍛造機、拉絲機等。In general, a machine for processing a shape of a metal material or a non-metal material using a suitable tool in various cutting methods or non-cutting methods or for precision machining of a semi-finished material is called a machine tool. Among machine tools, a machine that produces chips during machining is called a cutting machine, and a non-cutting machine that does not generate chips during machining is called a plastic processing machine. Cutting machines include lathes, milling machines, machining centers, drilling machines, boring machines, grinding machines, gear processing machines, special processing machines, etc. Metal forming machines include mechanical presses, hydraulic presses, cutting and bending machines, forging machines, wire drawing machines, and the like.
放置工件的工作臺安裝在機床處。工作臺通常設計成利用齒條齒輪和小齒輪或蝸輪和蝸桿來旋轉。The workbench on which the workpiece is placed is installed at the machine. Workbenches are typically designed to rotate using rack and pinion gears or worm gears and worms.
在機床中,通常使用的是利用蝸輪和蝸桿的工作臺旋轉設備。In machine tools, a table rotating device that utilizes a worm gear and a worm is commonly used.
如上所述,在用於傳統機床的工作臺旋轉設備中,由於需要將用於驅動蝸輪和蝸桿的電機的旋轉標度(divide)成用於工作臺旋轉或分度的標度間隔,因此不僅需要如彎曲聯接件的單獨標度設備而且還需要用於測量角度的旋轉編碼器,因此存在結構複雜化和生產成本增加的一些問題。As described above, in the table rotating apparatus for a conventional machine tool, since the rotation scale of the motor for driving the worm wheel and the worm is required to be used for the scale interval of the table rotation or indexing, not only the scale interval is required for the table rotation or indexing, There is a need for a separate scale device such as a curved coupling and a rotary encoder for measuring angles, so there are some problems of structural complication and increased production costs.
關於這點,在第1604547號韓國專利中公開了用於機床的回轉台裝置。以及在第2001-0028580號韓國公開專利中公開了用於機床的工作臺分度設備。In this regard, a rotary table device for a machine tool is disclosed in Korean Patent No. 1604547. A table indexing device for a machine tool is disclosed in Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2001-0028580.
在所公開的傳統工作臺分度設備中,由於用於連續旋轉或標度的結構是獨立提供的,所以應使用單獨的工作臺用於旋轉和分度,因此,存在用於加工工件的設定時間增加和工作性降低的一些問題。In the disclosed conventional table indexing device, since the structure for continuous rotation or scaling is independently provided, a separate table should be used for rotation and indexing, and therefore, there are settings for machining the workpiece. Some problems with increased time and reduced workability.

在具有上述配置的回轉台10中,隨著蝸桿15b透過電機15c旋轉,蝸輪15a透過蝸桿15b而旋轉,且工作臺13發生旋轉。此時,由於第二軸承部40支承在安裝於工作臺13處的第一構件31與安裝於主體11處的第二構件32之間,因此能夠增加當工件安裝在工作臺13上時用於抵抗主體11的支承力。另外,在旋轉過程中,根據取決於重量的過程量,由預負荷施加單元50將適當的預負荷施加至第一軸承部20,從而能夠最大限度地減小由於工作臺13的旋轉而導致的振動,並且當重量較大的工件安裝在工作臺13上時,能夠減小根據工作臺13的旋轉的轉矩,並且還能夠穩定地提升旋轉精度。In the turntable 10 having the above configuration, as the worm 15b is rotated by the motor 15c, the worm wheel 15a is rotated by the worm 15b, and the table 13 is rotated. At this time, since the second bearing portion 40 is supported between the first member 31 mounted at the table 13 and the second member 32 mounted at the body 11, it is possible to increase the use when the workpiece is mounted on the table 13 Resist the supporting force of the main body 11. In addition, an appropriate preload is applied to the first bearing portion 20 by the preload applying unit 50 in accordance with the process amount depending on the weight during the rotation, so that the rotation due to the table 13 can be minimized.

When the second cylindrical portion to be described later is mounted, the mounting of the lock base member 90 allows the seal for sealing to be easily installed.
另外,使鎖定構件72下降的第一圓柱體部74設置在第一構件31與鎖定構件72之間,並且使鎖定構件72上升的第二圓柱體部73設置在鎖定構件72與鎖定基座構件71或90之間。In addition, a first cylindrical portion 74 that lowers the locking member 72 is disposed between the first member 31 and the locking member 72, and a second cylindrical portion 73 that raises the locking member 72 is disposed at the locking member 72 and the locking base member Between 71 or 90.
工作臺分度單元70包括第一操作壓力施加部76和第二操作壓力施加部77,其中,第一操作壓力施加部76安裝在主體11處以向第一圓柱體部74供應氣壓或液壓,使得鎖定構件72下降並與第一構件31和第二構件32分離,且使得工作臺13旋轉;第二操作壓力施加部77向第二圓柱體部73供應氣壓或液壓,使得鎖定構件72上升並聯接至第一構件31和第二構件32,並且使得工作臺13的旋轉被固定。第一操作壓力施加部76和第二操作壓力施加部77具有與操作壓力施加部55大致相同的結構。即,設置有液壓供應管,透過該液壓供應管,將氣壓或液壓供應至第一圓柱體部74和第二圓柱體部73,並使其從第一圓柱體部74和第二圓柱體部73排出。The table indexing unit 70 includes a first operating pressure applying portion 76 and a second operating pressure applying portion 77, wherein the first operating pressure applying portion 76 is installed at the main body 11 to supply air pressure or hydraulic pressure to the first cylindrical portion 74 such that The locking member 72 is lowered and separated from the first member 31 and the second member 32, and causes the table 13 to rotate; the second operating pressure applying portion 77 supplies air pressure or hydraulic pressure to the second cylindrical portion 73 such that the locking member 72 is raised and coupled To the first member 31 and the second member 32, and the rotation of the table 13 is fixed. The first operating pressure applying portion 76 and the second operating pressure applying portion 77 have substantially the same configuration as the operating pressure applying portion 55. That is, a hydraulic supply pipe is provided through which air pressure or hydraulic pressure is supplied to the first cylindrical portion 74 and the second cylindrical portion 73 from the first cylindrical portion 74 and the second cylindrical portion 73 discharge.
另一方面,彼此聯接以固定工作臺13的旋轉的齒31a、32a和72a形成在第一構件31和第二構件32的下表面以及與第一構件31和第二構件32的下表面聯接的、鎖定構件72的上表面處。齒31a、32a和72a形成在相對於第一構件31和第二構件32的中心和鎖定構件72的中心的徑向方向上,並且以圓周方向佈置。齒31a、32a和72a的數量可根據分度條件調整。On the other hand, the teeth 31a, 32a, and 72a coupled to each other to fix the rotation of the table 13 are formed on the lower surfaces of the first member 31 and the second member 32 and coupled to the lower surfaces of the first member 31 and the second member 32. At the upper surface of the locking member 72. The teeth 31a, 32a, and 72a are formed in a radial direction with respect to the center of the first member 31 and the second member 32 and the center of the locking member 72, and are arranged in the circumferential direction. The number of teeth 31a, 32a, and 72a can be adjusted according to the indexing conditions.
為了在工件固定至工作臺13時將根據本發明的具有上述配置的回轉台10用作回轉台,首先,向第一操作壓力施加部76供應預定氣壓或液壓,以使得鎖定構件72下降並與第一構件31和第二構件32分離,由此使彼此相對應的齒31a、32a和齒72a互相分離。In order to use the turntable 10 according to the present invention having the above configuration as a turntable when the workpiece is fixed to the table 13, first, a predetermined air pressure or hydraulic pressure is supplied to the first operating pressure applying portion 76, so that the locking member 72 is lowered and associated with The first member 31 and the second member 32 are separated, thereby separating the teeth 31a, 32a and the teeth 72a corresponding to each other from each other.
在該狀態下,當電機15c被驅動時,蝸桿15b和蝸輪15a旋轉,由此工作臺13旋轉。此時,由於第二軸承部40在安裝於工作臺13處的第一構件31與安裝於主體11處的第二構件32之間進行支承,因此工件安裝在工作臺13處且作用於主體11上的支承力能夠增加。In this state, when the motor 15c is driven, the worm 15b and the worm wheel 15a rotate, whereby the table 13 rotates. At this time, since the second bearing portion 40 is supported between the first member 31 mounted at the table 13 and the second member 32 mounted at the body 11, the workpiece is mounted at the table 13 and acts on the body 11 The support force on the top can be increased.
另外,在旋轉過程中,透過預負荷施加單元50將預負荷施加至第一軸承部50,因此,能夠最大限度地減少由於工作臺13的旋轉而導致的振動。當重量大的工件安裝在工作臺13上時,能夠減小根據工作臺13的旋轉的轉矩。Further, during the rotation, the preload is applied to the first bearing portion 50 through the preload applying unit 50, so that the vibration due to the rotation of the table 13 can be minimized. When the workpiece having a large weight is mounted on the table 13, the torque according to the rotation of the table 13 can be reduced.
此外,有意將回轉台10用作分度工作臺時,透過作用於蝸輪15a上的角度檢測感測器16檢測所設置的旋轉角度的同時,向工作臺分度單元70的第二操作壓力施加部77供應相對高的氣壓或液壓,從而使鎖定構件72上升。相應地,第一構件31和第二構件32與鎖定構件72彼此緊密接觸,並且形成在它們相應的側面處的齒31a、32a與齒72a彼此聯接。此時,形成在第一構件31和第二構件32的下表面和鎖定構件72的上表面上的、彼此聯接的齒31a、32a和72a能夠增加它們之間的聯接力,且由此能夠精確地控制回轉台10的位置,即,分度位置。在這個過程中,顯然驅動部15不進行操作。在工作臺13旋轉之後的固定操作中,主體11固定至第二構件32,並且旋轉透過其上施加有固定力的鎖定構件72而被固定。在這個過程中,透過預負荷施加單元50將相對高的預負荷施加至第一軸承部20,從而能夠固定旋轉軸12的旋轉。Further, when the turntable 10 is intentionally used as the indexing table, the second operation pressure is applied to the table indexing unit 70 while the angle detecting sensor 16 acting on the worm wheel 15a detects the set rotation angle. The portion 77 supplies a relatively high air pressure or hydraulic pressure to raise the locking member 72. Accordingly, the first member 31 and the second member 32 and the locking member 72 are in close contact with each other, and the teeth 31a, 32a and the teeth 72a formed at their respective sides are coupled to each other. At this time, the teeth 31a, 32a, and 72a formed on the lower surface of the first member 31 and the second member 32 and the upper surface of the locking member 72, which are coupled to each other, can increase the coupling force therebetween, and thus can be accurately The position of the turntable 10, that is, the indexing position, is controlled. In this process, it is apparent that the drive unit 15 does not operate. In the fixing operation after the rotation of the table 13, the main body 11 is fixed to the second member 32, and the rotation is fixed by the locking member 72 to which the fixing force is applied. In this process, a relatively high preload is applied to the first bearing portion 20 through the preload applying unit 50, so that the rotation of the rotating shaft 12 can be fixed.
另一方面,在施加強的預負荷時防止主體11變形並維持精度的止推軸承80安裝在工作臺13的下部與主體11之間。On the other hand, the thrust bearing 80 that prevents deformation of the main body 11 and maintains accuracy when a strong preload is applied is installed between the lower portion of the table 13 and the main body 11.
如上所述,根據本發明的用於加工工件的回轉台能夠使用於固定工件的工作臺旋轉,並且還能夠以預定角度固定工作臺。因此,能夠同時滿足回轉台和分度工作臺的常規功能。As described above, the turntable for processing a workpiece according to the present invention can be used for the table rotation of the fixed workpiece, and can also fix the table at a predetermined angle. Therefore, it is possible to simultaneously satisfy the conventional functions of the turntable and the indexing table.
