Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool body safety cover technology, and in particular to a safety cover for CNC machine tool body. Background Technology

[0002] CNC lathes are among the most widely used CNC machine tools. They are mainly used for cutting internal and external cylindrical surfaces, internal and external conical surfaces with arbitrary cone angles, complex rotating internal and external curved surfaces, and cylindrical and conical threads on shaft or disc-shaped parts. They can also perform grooving, drilling, reaming, boring, and other operations. In the furniture manufacturing industry, the demand for sheet metal is increasing. CNC machine tools can perform a series of operations on sheet metal, such as grooving, drilling, and cutting. The building materials industry now has an ever-growing demand for sheet metal, requiring CNC machine tools for drilling and cutting. During sheet metal processing, flying debris is easily generated, which can easily injure nearby workers. However, existing safety covers for machine tool bodies still have limitations in effectively preventing the flying debris, offering low protection, and causing vibration problems when the processing area is opened and closed.

[0003] Therefore, it is essential to invent a safety cover for the body of a CNC machine tool. Utility Model Content

The buffer base is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support plate, and the sliding wheel is rotatably installed on the buffer base and slidably installed on the support rail.

[0007] The protective shell is made of bent steel metal plate, and it wraps around the outside of the machine tool, leaving an open space at the machining position of the lathe to form a machine tool window; the inner end of the upper connecting plate of the lower connecting plate is flat and is installed on the machine tool with bolts; the reinforcing rib is made of several triangular steel metal plates, and the reinforcing rib is only installed between the load-bearing guard plate and the upper connecting plate, and no reinforcing rib is set between the load-bearing guard plate and the lower connecting plate.

[0008] The internal load-bearing plate and reinforcing edge of the sliding structure are made of a set of steel metal plates with a reinforcing structure, and the buffer base is made of a set of silicone soft pads. The sliding wheel is made of three rubber wheels; the sliding wheel is distributed in a triangle on the buffer base.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. The protective shell of this utility model is used as the main structure of the safety cover for CNC machine tools. It is made of steel metal plate bent into shape and is rigidly connected to the machine tool through the lower end connecting plate and the upper end connecting plate. With the help of reinforcing ribs to enhance the impact resistance, it provides mechanical protection for the key parts of the machine tool while retaining the operating space of the processing area through the machine tool window. It also provides the installation base for the sliding protective door and the support slide rail, achieving a balance between safety isolation and operation convenience. It is a core protective barrier that combines protection, structural stability and functional expandability.

[0011] 2. The sliding structure of this utility model is the core moving component of the CNC machine tool safety cover. It provides rigid support through a bearing plate and reinforced edge sealing, absorbs vibration with a silicone pad on the buffer base, and runs smoothly on the support rail with the help of triangularly distributed rubber sliding wheels, achieving easy opening and closing of the protective cover. This structure combines shock absorption and noise reduction, wear resistance and impact protection, and stable load-bearing functions, ensuring both smooth operation and long-term reliability of the safety cover.
