[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0018] See also Figure 1-2 In the embodiment of the utility model, a gantry milling machine spindle composite guide rail comprises a workbench 1, the workbench 1 is used to provide a working place for the milling cutter to process the workpiece, the two sides of the workbench 1 are slidably connected with a gantry 2, the gantry 2 is used to install and support the spindle assembly 7, the gantry 2 slides on the workbench 1 to realize the movement of the spindle assembly 7 on the Y axis, the gantry 2 is slidably connected with an X-axis slider 3 on one side, the X-axis slider 3 slides on the gantry 2 to realize the movement of the spindle assembly 7 on the X axis, and the four corners of the lower surface of the workbench 1 are fixedly connected with support legs 13, and the support legs 13 are used to support the workbench 1 from being in contact with the ground to prevent the ground from being eroded by moisture;

[0019] See also Figure 1-3 , the side of the X-axis slider 3 away from the gantry 2 is slidably connected with the Z-axis slider 4, and the side of the Z-axis slider 4 away from the X-axis slider 3 is fixed with a spindle assembly 7, and the Z-axis slider 4 slides on the X-axis slider 3 to realize the movement of the spindle assembly 7 in the Z-axis, and the movement on the Z-axis is a 90° vertical straight line, which causes the Z-axis slider 4 to easily jitter when sliding, affecting the machining accuracy of the spindle assembly 7, and two groups of connecting rods 9 are fixed on the other side of the Z-axis slider 4, and one end of the connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to a limiting slider 10, and limiting slide grooves 8 corresponding to the position of the limiting slider 10 are provided on both sides of the X-axis slider 3. When the Z-axis slider 4 slides on the X-axis slider 3, the limiting slider 10 slides along the limiting slide groove 8, and the limiting slide groove 8 limits the sliding of the limiting slider 10, thereby reducing the jitter amplitude of the Z-axis slider 4 during the sliding process, so that the movement of the spindle assembly 7 in the Z-axis is more stable;

[0020] See also Figure 1-2 In order to realize the sliding connection between the Z-axis slider 4 and the X-axis slider 3, two guide rails 5 are fixedly provided on the side of the X-axis slider 3 away from the gantry 2, and a slide groove 6 corresponding to the position of the guide rail 5 is fixedly provided on one side of the Z-axis slider 4. The slide groove 6 slides along the guide rail 5 to realize the stability of the Z-axis slider 4 sliding on the X-axis slider 3;

[0021] See also Figure 1-2 The guide rail 5 and the slide groove 6 are arc-shaped. The arc-shaped guide rail 5 and the slide groove 6 make the slide groove 6 slide along the guide rail 5 more smoothly. Too many edges and corners are prone to increase wear;

[0022] See also Figure 3 , inclined surfaces 11 are provided at both ends of the limit slider 10, and an inclined groove 12 matching the shape of the inclined surface 11 is opened at the end of the limit slide groove 8. When the limit slider 10 slides along the limit slide groove 8, only the inclined surface 11 contacts the surface of the inclined groove 12 to realize the limiting of the limit slide groove 8 on the limit slider 10, thereby reducing the contact area between the limit slider 10 and the limit slide groove 8, thereby reducing the sliding friction, and avoiding the friction generated by the sliding between the limit slider 10 and the limit slide groove 8 to hinder the sliding of the Z-axis slider 4 on the X-axis slider 3.

[0023] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: the gantry 2 slides on the workbench 1 to realize the movement of the spindle assembly 7 on the Y axis, the X-axis slider 3 slides on the gantry 2 to realize the movement of the spindle assembly 7 on the X axis, the slide groove 6 slides along the guide rail 5, and then the Z-axis slider 4 slides on the X-axis slider 3 to realize the movement of the spindle assembly 7 on the Z axis. The movement on the Z axis is a 90° vertical straight line, which causes a large loss in the sliding surface of the guide rail 5 and the slide groove 6, resulting in the Z-axis slider 4 being prone to jitter when sliding, affecting the processing accuracy of the spindle assembly 7, and further affecting the product quality. During the sliding process of the Z-axis slider 4 on the X-axis slider 3, the limit slider 10 slides along the limit slide groove 8, and the limit slide groove 8 limits the sliding of the limit slider 10, thereby reducing the jitter amplitude during the sliding process of the Z-axis slider 4, making the movement of the spindle assembly 7 on the Z axis more stable. During the sliding of the limit slider 10 along the limit slot 8, only the inclined surface 11 contacts the surface of the inclined slot 12 to realize the limiting of the limit slider 10 by the limit slot 8, thereby reducing the contact area between the limit slider 10 and the limit slot 8, thereby reducing the sliding friction, and avoiding the friction generated by the sliding between the limit slider 10 and the limit slot 8 to hinder the sliding of the Z-axis slider 4 on the X-axis slider 3.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents.
