Definitions

  • the invention relates to a machine tool, or toupie, or spindle moulder, used in the woodworking industry to make frames, shaped profiled elements, notches, grooves and the like on pieces made of wood or similar materials.
  • Spindle moulders comprising a vertical axis milling tool operationally positioned above a work surface on which the workpieces to be machined are placed.
  • the milling tool is fixed to a spindle shaft mounted on a cylindrical support operationally positioned below the aforesaid work surface.
  • the cylindrical support is axially slidable in, and is supported by, an external support which can be orientated or fixed with respect to the work surface.
  • the external support further support an electric motor arranged for rotating the spindle shaft.
  • the electric motor is positioned laterally with respect to the spindle shaft and is provided with a motor shaft, or rotor, which is connected to the spindle shaft by means of a belt drive.
  • the spindle shaft and the motor shaft extend along respective substantially parallel axes.
  • a drawback of the aforesaid spindle moulders relates to the limited angular travels that are achievable in use by the spindle shaft, which limits the machinings that are performable by the milling tool.
  • spindle moulders in addition to being structurally complex, require periodical maintenance, with consequent prolonged machine downtimes and increased costs connected therewith, to replace the belt drive when worn.
  • An object of the invention is to improve the spindle moulders.
  • a further object is to make spindle moulders that enable angular travels to be obtained that are greater than those of known spindle moulders.
  • a still further object is to provide spindle moulders that are structurally simple and more reliable than known spindle moulders.
  • a spindle moulder comprising spindle shaft means extending along a rotation axis and arranged for rotationally supporting a milling tool, and motor shaft means for rotating said spindle shaft means, characterised in that said spindle shaft means and said motor shaft means have in common said rotation axis.
  • a spindle moulder comprising supporting means for supporting spindle shaft means and a supporting casing for supporting motor shaft means, said motor shaft means being arranged for rotating said spindle shaft means, characterised in that said supporting means is fixed to said supporting casing.
  • the spindle shaft means and the motor shaft means form a single shaft and the casing is mounted operationally below the support which supports the spindle shaft means.
  • the spindle moulders made according to the invention do not require belt drives, which eliminates the maintenance operations for replacing the belt drives, with consequent money savings and less frequent machine downtimes, and makes the spindle moulders more reliable than known spindle moulders.
  • FIG. 1 With reference to Figure 1 there is shown a first embodiment A of a spindle moulder 1 used in the woodworking industry to make frames, shaped profiled elements, joints, grooves and the like on workpieces 17 made of wood or similar materials.
  • the spindle moulder 1 comprises a cutting tool 2, for example a vertical axis milling cutter, operationally positioned above a work surface 3 on which the workpieces 17 to be machined are placed and moved.
  • the cutting tool 2 is rotationally supported by a spindle shaft 4 that is rotatable around a first rotation axis Z1 thereof.
  • the spindle shaft 4 is a motor shaft, or rotor, of an electric motor 14 and comprises a first section 18 positioned in a casing 16 of the electric motor 14, such a casing 16 being arranged for supporting a stator 15.
  • the spindle moulder 1 further comprises first bearing means 21 interposed between the casing 16 and the first section 18 for rotationally supporting the latter around the first rotation axis Z1.
  • the spindle shaft 4 further comprises a second section 19 at least partially received in a sleeve 5.
  • the sleeve 5 having substantially the shape of a hollow cylinder and being operationally positioned below the aforesaid work surface 3, is fixed substantially at a first end 20 thereof by means of a threaded connection, which is not shown, to the casing 16.
  • the spindle moulder 1 further comprises second bearing means 22 interposed between the sleeve 5 and the second section 19 for rotationally supporting the latter around the first rotation axis Z1.
  • the spindle moulder 1 comprises a support 6 internally coupled by means of guide means, which is not shown, to the sleeve 5.
  • the sleeve 5 is internally slidable with respect to the support 6 along the first rotation axis Z1.
  • the guide means comprises linear guide means.
  • the guide means comprises a ball bearing guide.
  • the guide means comprises an internal wall 41 of the support 6 and an external wall 40 of the sleeve 5.
  • the support 6 is further rotatable with respect to a second rotation axis Z2 which is transverse to the first rotation axis Z1.
  • the support 6 can be orientated with respect to the work surface 3.
  • the spindle moulder 1 further comprises first moving means 7 arranged for rotating the support 6 around the second rotation axis Z2.
  • the first moving means 7 comprises a toothed circular sector 8 fixed to the support 6 and a toothed guide 9 arranged for engaging the toothed circular sector 8 and supported by a frame 12 of the spindle moulder 1.
  • the first moving means 7 further comprises first driving means, which is not shown, arranged for driving the toothed guide 9.
  • the first moving means 7 comprises pins 10 extending around the second rotation axis Z2.
  • the pins 10 engage respective first portions 11 of the support 6 that are substantially perpendicular to the second rotation axis Z2 and are supported by the frame 12.
  • the first moving means 7 comprises a smooth circular sector fixed to the support 6 and engaging a respective guide 9 supported by the frame 12, the smooth circular sector being driven by further first driving means.
  • the first moving means 7 comprises a linear actuator.
  • the support 6 is fixed with respect to the work surface 3.
  • the spindle moulder 1 further comprises second moving means 23 for moving the sleeve 5 and thus the casing 16 fixed on the latter, with respect to the support 6 along the first rotation axis Z1.
  • the second movement means 23 comprises a worm 24 extending along a third rotation axis Z3 substantially parallel to the first rotation axis Z1.
  • the worm 24 is rotationally supported by a second portion 27 of the support 6, extending substantially parallel to the second rotation axis Z2, and engages a lead nut 26 fixed to the casing 16.
  • the second moving means 23 further comprises second driving means 28 for rotating the worm 24.
  • the second moving means 23 comprises a further linear actuator.
  • the worm 24 also acts as an antirotation element for the sleeve 5.
  • the second moving means 23 is separate from an antirotation element that is provided for the spindle moulder 1.
  • the second embodiment B differs from the first embodiment A inasmuch as the spindle shaft 4 is connected by joint means 29 to a motor shaft 30, or rotor, of a further electric motor 31, the spindle shaft 4 and the motor shaft 30 being rotatable around the first rotation axis Z1.
  • the motor shaft 30 is received in, and supported by, the casing 16 of the further electric motor 31 and is wound by the stator 15, whilst the spindle shaft 4 is received in, and rotationally supported by, the sleeve 5 via third bearing means 33 and fourth bearing means 34.
  • the third embodiment C differs from the second embodiment B, inasmuch as the motor shaft 30 is received in, and rotationally supported by, the casing 16 via fifth bearing means 50 and sixth bearing means 51.
  • the spindle moulder 1 is structurally simple and enables angular travels to be obtained that are greater than those of known spindle moulders owing to the limited side overall dimensions.
  • the spindle shaft 4 is the motor shaft, or rotor, of the electric motor 14, whilst in the second embodiment B and in the third embodiment C the spindle shaft 4 and the motor shaft 30 are interconnected via joint means 28 and have in common the first rotation axis Z1.
  • the spindle moulder 1 is devoid of belt drives, which eliminates the maintenance operations required to replace the latter, with a consequent saving of money and less frequent machine downtimes and makes the spindle moulders 1 more reliable than known spindle moulders.
