Description

  The present invention relates to a guide mechanism for a sliding body of a machine tool driven by a linear motor, and more particularly to a guide mechanism for a sliding body suitable for application to a grindstone feed mechanism that is advanced and retracted by a linear motor in a grinding machine. .

  As a conventional guide mechanism of this type, a guide mechanism (hereinafter referred to as a first conventional apparatus) for a grinding wheel grinder described in Patent Document 1 is known. In this conventional guide mechanism, one linear motor is arranged at the lower part of the grinding wheel platform, and the magnetic attractive force generated between the electromagnetic coil unit of the linear motor and the permanent magnet plate unit is lower than the pair of left and right fixed guide surfaces. In addition to the direction (the direction of the ground), both the magnetic attractive force and the gravity due to the mass of the grinding wheel base itself are applied to the fixed guide surface. A pair of left and right guide surfaces on the lower surface of the grindstone table facing the pair of left and right fixed guide surfaces (hereinafter referred to as a grindstone table guide surface) are opened with static pressure pockets, and the static pressure of the fluid generated in the pockets Thus, the grindstone is lifted against the gravity and the magnetic attraction force. In other words, the fixed guide surface that guides the wheel head in the vertical direction is only the upward guide surface, and the buoyancy that causes the pressure oil acting on this upward guide surface to lift the wheel head balances the resultant force of the wheel head's own weight and magnetic attraction force. By adopting such a structure, the grindstone base is held at a predetermined height position in the vertical direction.

In Patent Document 2, as shown in FIG. 4, another conventional guide mechanism (hereinafter referred to as “No. 1”) in which a linear motor is arranged between a grinding wheel base and a base for guiding the magnetic attraction force in the same manner as shown in FIG. 2 conventional apparatus). In this conventional apparatus, a pair of left and right fixed guide portions that cross the advancing and retreating direction of the grindstone table are provided, and guide surfaces are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of each guide portion. The grinding wheel base is formed with downward and upward guide surfaces facing each other so as to sandwich the upper and lower guide surfaces of each guide portion, and static pressure pockets are opened in the downward and upward guide surfaces, respectively. A structure is adopted in which the grinding wheel base is held at a predetermined height position in the vertical direction by the static pressure of the generated pressure oil.
International Application Publication No. WO 97/44158 JP-A-9-150334 (FIG. 4)

  In the first conventional apparatus, the height position of the grinding wheel base is controlled by balancing the buoyancy of the pressure oil generated between the guide surfaces with the resultant force of the weight of the grinding wheel base and the magnetic attraction force. In addition, the height position of the wheel head becomes unstable with respect to fluctuations in the grinding resistance acting in the upward or downward direction. In particular, when a grinding wheel that is rotationally supported at the front end of the grinding wheel grinds a non-circular workpiece, it must be considered that a large grinding resistance alternating in the vertical direction acts on the grinding wheel table through the grinding wheel.

  In detail, if you want to increase the rigidity to keep the height position of the grinding wheel base constant, the resultant force of the grinding wheel base's own weight and magnetic attraction force is set to be considerably larger than the static pressure of the hydraulic pressure generated on the guide surface. In this case, mechanical friction may occur between the guide surfaces, making it difficult to smoothly guide the grindstone platform.

  Furthermore, in the first conventional apparatus, the point of action of the propulsive force that drives the grindstone head by the linear motor is deviated upward from the guide surface that guides the grindstone head. Therefore, the moment that induces pitching in the grindstone head The structure is easy to act.

  The second conventional device has a structure in which the whetstone base is advanced and retracted in a state where the upper and lower guide surfaces of the pair of left and right horizontal guide members are sandwiched, and the problem of instability of the height position of the whetstone base is solved. Since the linear motor is disposed at a position considerably away from the guide member in the downward direction, the propulsive force in the advancing / retreating direction of the grinding wheel table generated by the linear motor tends to induce a pitching operation in the advancing / retreating operation of the grinding wheel table.

  In the first conventional apparatus, the bearing portion for rotating and supporting the grinding wheel is disposed at the front portion of the grinding wheel base overhanging from the static pressure guide surface region formed on the lower surface of the grinding wheel base. That is, a guide surface is not formed on the lower surface of the grindstone table below the bearing portion, and the bearing portion is advanced and retracted in a state of protruding largely forward from the front end edge of the lower surface guide portion of the grindstone table. For this reason, the wheel head is advanced and retracted in a state in which the grinding wheel bearing portion is so-called “the foot is not attached to the ground”, and the structure is easily affected by fluctuations in the grinding resistance acting on the wheel head through the grinding wheel. Yes.

Furthermore, there are the following technical requirements as a guide mechanism for a grinding wheel head of a grinding machine in which a grinding wheel bearing portion having a large mass is arranged at the front.
(1) Avoid concentrating mass on the hydrostatic guide surface directly under the grinding wheel bearing portion, and guide the grinding wheel base to the fixed guide surface with a uniform force over the entire length including directly under the grinding wheel bearing portion.
(2) The specifications of all the static pressure pockets arranged in the advancing and retreating direction on the lower surface of the grindstone table can be made uniform, whereby the oil supply mechanism for the static pressure pockets can be configured simply.
(3) The linear motor coil that is installed in the longitudinal direction at the lower part of the grinding wheel base can be easily removed from the grinding wheel base for maintenance and inspection.

  Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to prevent the change in the posture of the sliding body such as a grindstone table even when the magnetic attraction force of the linear motor is applied to the guide surface, and increase the rigidity of the guide surface to increase the natural vibration in the pitching direction of the grindstone table. The purpose is to increase the number and increase the servo gain for the linear motor.

Another object of the present invention is to enable a linear motor drive type sliding body guide mechanism to stably maintain the posture of the sliding body against variations in machining resistance.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a guide mechanism for a grinding wheel head which satisfies the above technical requirement (1) .

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the guide surface of the sliding body that slides on the pair of horizontal guide members is provided over the entire length of the sliding body, but in the region of the front portion of the sliding body to which the tool support unit is attached, magnetic attraction is provided. The length in the longitudinal direction of the linear motor arranged between the lower surface of the sliding body and the upper surface of the base was set so that no force was generated.
Since no magnetic attractive force is generated in the front area of the sliding body to which the tool support unit is attached, the load acting on the guide surface of the sliding body can be set at any position in this front area and in any area other than this front area. The guide surface in the front region is prevented from being unevenly worn as compared with the guide surface outside the region.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the longitudinal direction of the linear motor arranged between the lower surface of the sliding body and the upper surface of the base so as not to generate a magnetic attractive force in the region of the front portion of the sliding body to which the tool support unit is attached. Since the length is set, the load acting on the guide surface of the sliding body is almost equal at each position in the front region and at each position in the region other than the front region. The guide surface is prevented from being unevenly worn compared to the guide surface outside this region.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 to 4 show a first embodiment in which the present invention is applied as a grinder support mechanism for a grinding machine. In FIG. 1, a grindstone base 10 as a sliding body includes a main body 11 and a grindstone bearing unit 13 that is seated on an L-shaped mounting surface 11 </ b> D formed at the front of the main body 11 and fixed by bolts 12. Become. The unit 13 rotatably supports the grindstone shaft 14 on a horizontal axis orthogonal to the advancing / retreating direction of the grindstone base 10. The grindstone shaft 14 is coupled to an output shaft of a grindstone driving motor (not shown) at one end on the back side in FIG. 1, and a grindstone G is fixed to the other end on the near side.
In the state of FIG. 1 in which the grinding wheel head 10 has advanced, the workpiece is supported by a center so as to be rotated on a horizontal axis parallel to the grinding wheel shaft 14 by a workpiece support device comprising a spindle head and a tailstock (not shown). A grinding wheel G grinds a cam W on a certain camshaft.

  As apparent from FIG. 2, the grindstone head body 11 is slidably guided on a pair of horizontal guide plates 20, 20 having a rectangular cross-section extending in parallel and spaced apart in a horizontal direction orthogonal to the advance / retreat direction. . That is, leg portions 11K and 11K are suspended from the lower surfaces of both side portions of the grindstone base body 11, and a U-shaped space that opens outwardly by a pair of sandwich plates 21 and 21 fixed to the lower ends of these leg portions is the grindstone base body 11. The grindstone base body 11 is guided in the horizontal direction by fitting the guide plates 20 and 20 with predetermined gaps in the U-shaped space. The inner side surfaces of the sandwiching plates 21 and 21 are opposed to both side surfaces of the linear guide plate 22 with a predetermined gap. The pair of horizontal guide plates 20 and 20 and the linear guide plate 22 are set to a length obtained by adding substantially the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the grindstone base body 11 and the advance / retreat stroke ST, and are fixed to the bed 25 of the grinder. It is fixed with bolts.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of rectangular static pressure pockets 27, 27 are arranged in the longitudinal direction on the downward guide surface facing the upper surfaces of the horizontal guide plates 20, 20 of the grindstone base body 11. A throttle hole 28 is provided to supply each of them. Similarly, a plurality of rectangular static pressure pockets 29, 29 are arranged in the longitudinal direction on the upward guide surface of the sandwiching plates 21, 21 facing the lower surface of the horizontal guide plates 20, 20, and pressure oil is supplied to these pockets. Each of the aperture holes (not shown) is provided. The pressing force by which the static pressure of the pressure oil generated in the static pressure pockets 29 and 29 pushes down the wheel head 10 downward is the buoyancy that causes the static pressure of the pressure oil generated in the static pressure pockets 27 and 27 to lift the wheel head 10. Is set so as to cancel out together with the magnetic attraction force of the linear motor, which will be described later, and the weight of the grinding wheel base 10.

  In order to set the pressing force in this way, in this embodiment, the design specifications of the static pressure pocket 29 are such that the width in the width direction across the longitudinal direction of the grindstone table 10 is narrowed with respect to the static pressure pocket 27. is there. As another method of changing the design specifications of the static pressure pocket 29 with respect to the static pressure pocket 27, the length of each static pressure pocket 29 can be shortened, or both the length and width can be reduced. A method of reducing or further reducing the throttle hole can be adopted.

A plurality of static pressure pockets 31, 31 are disposed on the inner side surfaces of the sandwich plates 21, 21 over the entire length of the sandwich plates 21, 21. The left pocket row and the right pocket row are symmetrically configured, and have the same configuration as the left and right static pressure pocket 27 rows shown in FIG. Pressure oil is supplied to the static pressure pockets 31, 31 of the left and right pocket rows through a not-shown throttle hole, and the left and right sandwich plates 21, 21 are caused by the static pressure of the pressure oil generated in these pockets. Positioning with a predetermined gap from both left and right end faces of the linear guide plate 22, the grindstone base body 11 can be moved forward and backward along the linear guide plate 22.
In order to supply pressure oil to the static pressure pockets 27, 29 and 31, a not-illustrated flexible pipe is connected between a not-illustrated hydraulic power source installed in the fixed portion and the grindstone base body 11, and the grindstone base body 11. In the sandwiching plates 21 and 21, a passage for guiding the pressure oil from the flexible pipe to the throttle hole opened in each pocket is formed.

  The linear motor 40 is disposed on the lower surface of the grindstone base body 11 and includes an electromagnetic coil unit 41 and a permanent magnet plate unit 42. The electromagnetic coil unit 41 is housed in a coil space having a rectangular cross section formed in the longitudinal direction at the center of the lower surface in the width direction of the grindstone base body 11, and the space is provided by a plurality of bolts 43 inserted from the upper surface side of the grindstone base body 11. It is fixed to the ceiling surface. As is apparent with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3, the coil unit 41 is not provided over the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the grinder base body 11, and the rear side extends to the rear end portion of the grinder base body 11. However, the front side does not reach below the grindstone bearing unit 13. In FIG. 3, the static pressure pocket 27 is arranged up to just below the grinding wheel bearing unit 13, but the coil unit 41 is shown to terminate immediately before the grinding wheel bearing unit 13.

By adopting such a configuration as one of the features of the present invention, the magnetic attraction force is prevented from acting at the front portion of the grindstone head body 11 where the weight of the bearing unit 13 acts, and the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the grindstone head body 11 is met. The load in the downward direction that the guide surface receives at each position, that is, each static pressure pocket 27 receives, is made substantially uniform.
The permanent magnet plate unit 42 faces the coil unit 41 over the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the unit regardless of whether the grinding wheel base 10 is located at the forward position indicated by the solid line or the backward position indicated by the chain line in FIG. The fixed base 26 is laid on the upper surface of the linear guide plate 22 over substantially the entire length. A predetermined interval is maintained between the lower surface of the coil unit 41 and the upper surface of the permanent magnet plate unit 32.

As another feature of the present invention, the position of the contact surface between the coil unit 41 and the permanent magnet plate unit 42 is set between the upper and lower surfaces of the horizontal guide plates 20, 20. The thrust generating portions are substantially the same height, so that a moment that causes pitching of the grinding wheel base 10 is not generated.
As another feature of the present invention, as shown in a partially enlarged view in FIG. 4, receiving members 45, 45 are provided on the left and right sides of the permanent magnet plate unit 42. The receiving members 45, 45 prevent the lower surface of the coil unit 41 from being in close contact with the upper surface of the magnet plate unit 42 when the coil unit 41 is released from the fixed state with the lower surface of the grindstone base body 11 by loosening the bolt 43. It serves to temporarily receive both ends of the coil unit 41. For this reason, the height position of the receiving members 45, 45 is such that the gap C1 between the receiving members 45, 45 and the coil unit 41 is narrower than the gap C2 between the contact surfaces of the coil unit 41 and the magnet plate unit 42. Is decided.

  Preferably, the receiving member 45 is formed of a non-magnetic material having a low friction coefficient such as a synthetic resin, and has the same length as the magnet plate unit 42. Thereby, when the bolt unit 43 is loosened and removed from the grindstone base body 11, the coil unit 41 is temporarily received by the pedestals 45 and 45, and is easily pulled backward on the pedestal.

  In the case of a cam grinder, for example, the grindstone base body 11 repeatedly executes the forward movement operation and the backward movement operation at high acceleration in synchronization with the rotation of the cam W. For this reason, the grindstone head body 11 is required to have a structure that is lightweight and has high rigidity. As shown in FIG. 1, the grindstone base body 11 is provided with a plurality of partition walls 11M extending in the width direction at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction, and between the adjacent partition walls 11M and the partition walls 11M adjacent to the front and rear walls 11F and 11B. A box-shaped space 11S is formed between the two to reduce the weight and increase the rigidity. The bolt 43 for fixing the coil unit 41 to the lower surface of the grindstone head body 11 is a hexagon socket head bolt, and is inserted into the bolt holes opened from the upper surface side of the front and rear walls 11F and 11B and the partition wall 11M.

  In each box-shaped space 11S, a pair of ribs 11R and 11R are provided that extend in the longitudinal direction of the grindstone base body 11 and are integrally coupled to the front and rear walls 11F and 11B and the partition wall 11M. When observing in the cross section in the width direction of the grindstone base body 11 shown in FIG. 2, the pair of ribs 11R, 11R starts from the lower surface of the grindstone base body 11 and opens outward from each other and is integrally coupled to the ceiling surface. . As yet another feature of the present invention, the ribs 11R and 11R are inclined in this manner, whereby an inverted trapezoidal space 11V is formed at the center of the cross section in the width direction of the grindstone head body 11, and both sides of the space 11V are adjacent to each other. Is formed with a triangular space 11T. More precisely, the inverted trapezoidal space 11V is a diamond hexagon that is the highest in the center in the width direction on the ceiling surface of the space and is inclined downward from the highest portion toward both sides.

  As an additional feature of the present invention, the pair of leg portions 11K and 11K of the grindstone base body 11 to which the sandwich plates 21 and 21 are fixed are suspended downward from the portions forming the triangular spaces 11T and 11T, respectively. The part forming the trapezoidal space 11V couples the parts forming the triangular spaces 11T and 11T on both sides to prevent the triangular space forming parts from being deformed and deflected inwardly approaching each other. In other words, the cross section of each box-shaped space has a structure in which two triangular truss structures are joined by a central inverted trapezoidal (exactly, diamond hexagonal) truss structure.

  FIG. 5 is a computer analysis diagram in which the direction and magnitude of the stress acting in the main portion of the grindstone base body 11 that supports the legs when the pair of legs 11K and 11K are deflected in the opening direction are analyzed by a computer. . In this analysis, the main part of the grindstone head body 11 is set as a solid rectangular cross-sectional shape having no space inside. This analysis diagram clearly shows a black portion BP where the stress is hardly applied, a dark gray portion GP1 where the stress is slightly applied, a light gray portion GP2 where the stress is concentrated, and a white portion WP which receives the maximum stress concentration. These are shown separately. The cross-sectional shape of the grindstone head body 11 shown in FIG. 2 is a truss structure in which the black portion BP and the dark gray portion GP1 where the internal stress hardly acts are scraped off, and the white portion WP and the light gray portion GP2 where the internal stress is concentrated are left. The wheel head main body 11 has both increased rigidity and reduced weight.

  Further, on one side of the grinding wheel base 10 on which the grinding wheel 15 is arranged, a linear scale 51 is supported by the fixed base 26 in parallel with the horizontal guide plate 20 via a bracket 52. An opposing read head 53 with a slight gap is attached to the grindstone base body 11. The read head 53 is configured to detect the scale information stored in the linear scale 51 to detect the position of the grinding wheel base 10 in the forward / backward direction, and to input this detected position information as feedback information to a CNC device (not shown). Yes.

  Next, the operation of the first embodiment configured as described above will be described. When a drive current is applied to the coil unit 41 of the linear motor 40 by a command from a CNC device (not shown), the coil unit 41 cooperates with the magnet plate unit 42 to generate a drive thrust along the magnet plate unit 42. To do. For this reason, the grindstone base 10 is moved forward and backward, and this forward / backward position is detected by the read head 53 that reads the scale information on the linear scale 51, and the target position commanded by the CNC device and the current position of the grindstone base 10 read by the read head 53 Are controlled so as to match.

  In this advance / retreat operation, the grinding wheel platform 10 is guided in the horizontal direction by the pair of horizontal guide plates 20, 20. The grindstone base 10 moves against the horizontal guide plates 20 and 20 by the static pressure of the pressure oil generated in the plurality of static pressure pockets 27 facing the upper surface of each guide plate 20 and the plurality of static pressure pockets 29 facing the lower surface. It floats slightly and moves smoothly. In this case, the static pressure of the pressure oil is also generated in the static pressure pockets 31, 31 facing both side surfaces of the linear guide plate 22, and the grindstone base 10 holds a slight gap with respect to both side surfaces of the linear guide plate 22. The lever travels straight along the straight guide plate 22.

  The driving driving force of the linear motor 40 is generated in the height direction between the upper and lower guide surfaces of the horizontal guide plates 20, 20, that is, at the same height position as the guide center of the horizontal guide plates 20, 20. A moment that causes pitching is not generated.

  The grinding wheel platform 10 is pressed against the fixed base 26 by the magnetic attractive force generated by the coil unit 41. In addition to the magnetic attraction force, the downward pressing force of the grinding wheel base 10 includes the self weight of the grinding wheel base 10 and a plurality of static pressure pockets 29 that open toward the lower surfaces of the horizontal guide plates 20 and 20. A pressing force acting by static pressure is applied. The plurality of static pressure pockets 27 that generate buoyancy on the upper guide surfaces of the horizontal guide plates 20 and 20 offset these magnetic attraction forces that try to push the grinding wheel base 10 downward, the own weight of the grinding wheel base 10 and the pressing force. Generate buoyancy.

  The coil unit 41 is not disposed immediately below the bearing unit 13 attached to the front portion of the grinding wheel platform 10 to prevent the weight of the bearing unit 13 from being further loaded on the horizontal guide plates 20 and 29. . For this reason, a downward load is not deviated with respect to the front part of the grindstone base 10, and the grindstone base 10 is advanced and retracted more smoothly. Further, a substantially equal downward force acts on the horizontal guide plates 20 and 20 at each position over the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the grindstone base 10. Thereby, the row | line | column of the static pressure pocket 27 and the row | line | column of the static pressure pocket 29 which act on the horizontal guide plates 20 and 20 can be made into the same structure over the longitudinal direction full length of the grindstone base 11 in each row | line | column.

  The resultant force of the weight of the grinding wheel base 10 and the magnetic attractive force acts in the opening direction of the pair of legs 11K and 11K arranged on the lower surface of the grinding wheel base body 11. In order to oppose the force in the opening direction, ribs 11R and 11R are arranged on the grindstone base body 11, and each leg portion 11K is supported by a portion forming the triangular spaces 11T and 11T, that is, a triangular truss structure. In particular, since the two left and right triangular space forming portions are integrally coupled by an inverted trapezoidal truss structure that is a portion that generally forms the inverted trapezoidal space 11V, the tops of the left and right triangular space forming portions are displaced inward from each other. It is possible to prevent the displacement of the pair of leg portions 11K and 11K in the opening direction. Thereby, the guide accuracy of the grindstone table 10 along the horizontal guide plates 20 and 20 can be guaranteed to the design value of this place.

  When the electromagnetic coil unit 41 is inspected or replaced for maintenance, it is necessary to remove the coil unit 41 from the grinding wheel base 10. In this case, a hexagon wrench is inserted into the bolt hole opened on the upper surface of the grindstone base body 11 to loosen the bolt 43. When the unit 41 is disengaged from the screw engagement with the bolt 43, the unit 41 tends to be attracted to the magnet plate unit by the magnetic force generated by the magnet plate unit 42. At this time, both ends in the width direction of the coil unit 41 are provisionally received by the receiving member 45. In this state, the coil unit 41 is slid on the receiving member 45 and pulled out to the rear of the grindstone base 10, and then out of the grinding machine. Take out. After the inspection, the coil unit 41 or the spare coil unit is fixed to the lower surface of the grindstone base body 11 by the reverse procedure described above.

  FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. As is clear from the comparison with FIG. 2 showing the first embodiment described above, in this embodiment, the straight guide plate 22 in the first embodiment is removed, and the straight guide plate 22 has a straight line. The guide action is substituted for the pair of horizontal guide plates 20 and 20. More specifically, the inner surfaces of the pair of horizontal guide plates 20 and 20 are opposed to the outer surfaces of the legs 11K and 11K of the grindstone base body 11 with a predetermined gap, and a plurality of static surfaces are respectively provided on each of the outer surfaces. Pressure pockets 131 and 131 are formed. The configuration and arrangement of the static pressure pocket are the same as those of the static pressure pocket 31 formed on the inner surface of the sandwiching plates 21 and 21 shown in FIG. Other configurations in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment described above with reference to FIG.

  With this configuration, the horizontal guide center formed by the static pressure pockets 27 and 29 opening toward the upper and lower surfaces of the horizontal guide plates 20 and 20, the center of the linear guide, and the driving force operating point of the linear motor 40. Are all at the same height. As a result, the grindstone platform 10 is smoothly advanced and retracted without any pitching or yawing behavior. The permanent magnet plate unit 42 is directly fixed to the fixed base 26.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the example in which the guide mechanism according to the present invention is applied to the grinding wheel head is described. However, the sliding body guided by the guide mechanism is a cutting machine such as a lathe or a machining center that supports a cutting tool. You may comprise as a tool stand of a machine tool, or a table which supports a workpiece.
In addition, the horizontal guide mechanism in each of the above-described embodiments has a structure in which the upper and lower surfaces of the guide plates are sandwiched from the inside of the pair of horizontal guide plates 20 and 20, but may be configured to hold the guide plates from the outside. Alternatively, the sandwiching plates 21 and 21 may be removed without the structure sandwiching the upper and lower surfaces of the guide plate.
Further, the partition wall 11M is not always necessary. When the partition wall 11M is removed, the pair of ribs 11R and 11R may penetrate the grindstone base body 11 between the front and rear walls 11F and 11B.
