Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vertical machining center technology, and in particular to an adjustable tool magazine support mounting structure that facilitates containerized transportation. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the export of complete vertical machining centers faces the problem of container height and size restrictions, which makes it impossible to pack the whole machine into a container. It is necessary to disassemble the corresponding parts, transport them to the customer's site, and then reassemble them. The disassembly and reassembly process may lead to differences in machine quality and process, affecting the machining accuracy of the machine. In addition, the disassembly and reassembly process will also increase costs.

[0003] Reference Figure 1 In the traditional vertical machining center shown, the tool changer 3 is generally located about 20mm below the highest point of the spindle box 5. Therefore, the highest point of the tool changer 3 usually exceeds the highest point of the frame 1 by a certain distance. The internal height of a commonly used export container 40HQ high cube is 2580mm. After deducting the height occupied by packaging (about 120mm), its optimal loading height should not exceed 2400mm. However, the highest point of the tool changer in some traditional vertical machining centers is greater than 2400mm. When loading the entire machine, the spindle box 5 can adjust its height through its built-in slide rail mechanism, while the height of the tool changer 3 is fixed. Therefore, it is necessary to disassemble some parts to lower the height of the vertical machining center for loading. Utility Model Content

[0036] Example

[0037] Reference Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an adjustable tool magazine bracket 2 mounting structure that facilitates container loading and transportation, including a frame 1, a tool magazine bracket 2, and positioning pins.

[0038] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the side of the frame 1 is provided with a rotating shaft 13 and a positioning post 14. (Refer to...) Figure 3 As shown, the first end of the tool magazine bracket 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 13, and the second end extends outward from the frame 1 to form a cantilever shape, that is, extends towards the direction of the spindle box 5 to form a cantilever shape, and the second end of the tool magazine bracket 2 is connected to the tool magazine 3. The tool magazine bracket 2 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 21 arranged coaxially with the rotating shaft 13, and the positioning post 14 is movably inserted into the arc-shaped groove 21 along the groove direction of the arc-shaped groove 21.

[0039] In this embodiment, four arc-shaped grooves 21 are provided, and four positioning posts 14 are correspondingly provided. The four arc-shaped grooves 21 have the same curvature, and each arc-shaped groove 21 includes a first end and a second end, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 As shown, when the tool magazine bracket 2 rotates to the boxed state, each positioning post 14 abuts against the first end of the arc-shaped groove 21, referring to... Figure 3 As shown, when the tool magazine bracket 2 rotates to the normal operating state, each positioning post 14 abuts against the second end of the arc groove 21. That is, the rotation angle range of the tool magazine bracket 2 can be controlled by the arc of the arc groove 21, ensuring that the tool magazine bracket 2 can be accurately converted into the normal use state and the packing state, and avoiding excessive rotation and interference with other parts.

[0040] Specifically, after the vertical machining center is transported to the customer's site, the tool magazine support 2 is rotated to the normal operating position. A locating pin is then inserted through the tool magazine support 2 and into the frame 1, thus fixing the tool magazine support 2 relative to the frame 1. It should be noted that, referring to... Figure 5As shown, the tool magazine bracket 2 has a first pin hole 22, and the frame 1 has a second pin hole, allowing the positioning pin to pass through the first pin hole 22 and the second pin hole for relative fixation. The second pin hole is not shown in the illustration because it is drilled after on-site debugging by the customer. In other embodiments, the second pin hole can be pre-drilled before transportation.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the vertical machining center provided in this embodiment has a maximum height of 2785mm under normal use. By moving the spindle box 5 downward and rotating the tool magazine bracket 2, the height of the frame 1 becomes the highest, which is 2359mm. This is less than the optimal loading height of 2400mm for the 40HQ high cabinet, thus enabling the entire vertical machining center to be loaded.

[0042] This embodiment provides an adjustable tool magazine bracket 2 mounting structure for convenient container transport. By rotating the tool magazine bracket 2, the maximum height of the tool magazine 3 can be lowered to meet the size requirements for loading the entire vertical machining center into a container. The tool magazine bracket 2 and the frame 1 are fixed together by positioning pins to ensure normal operation for the customer. For export transport, disassembly and reassembly are no longer required; the entire machine can be packed, avoiding differences in quality and process, preventing impact on accuracy, and reducing disassembly and assembly costs.

[0043] Specifically, it also includes a rotation adjustment component 4, which comprises an adjustment plate 41 and a first adjustment rod. The adjustment plate 41 is connected to the frame 1, and the first adjustment rod is threadedly connected to the adjustment plate 41 and abuts against or connects to the tool magazine support 2. By adjusting the first adjustment rod and the adjustment plate 41 relative to each other, the position of the first adjustment rod can be changed, thereby driving the tool magazine support 2 to rotate.

[0044] Specifically, it includes two rotating adjustment components 4, which are located on the upper and lower sides of the tool magazine bracket 2, respectively, and are staggered. (Refer to...) Figure 3 As shown, the two rotating adjustment parts 4 are staggered to ensure the stability of the drive tool magazine support 2 when it rotates.

[0045] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 5 As shown, the adjusting plate 41 includes a first plate body 42 and a second plate body 43, the first plate body 42 and the second plate body 43 being perpendicular to and connected; the first plate body 42 is bolted to the frame 1, and the first adjusting rod is threaded to the second plate body 43. It should be noted that although the first adjusting rod is not shown in the figure, those skilled in the art should understand how the first adjusting rod is configured.

[0046] Specifically, a pressure plate 8 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft. The pressure plate 8 abuts against the side of the tool magazine bracket 2 away from the frame 1, and the pressure plate 8 presses the tool magazine bracket 2 tightly onto the frame 1 to maintain the stability of the connection between the tool magazine bracket 2 and the frame 1.

[0047] Specifically, continue to refer to Figure 5 As shown, the frame 1 includes a frame body and a movable plate 12, which is movably mounted on the frame body in a vertical or horizontal direction; the rotating shaft 13 and the positioning column 14 are respectively mounted on the movable plate 12. By adjusting the position of the movable plate 12, the position of the tool magazine support 2 can be changed, thereby adjusting the position of the tool magazine 3 and adjusting the positional accuracy of the tool magazine 3.

[0048] Specifically, it also includes a movable adjustment component, which includes an adjustment block 61 and a second adjustment rod. The adjustment block 61 is mounted on the frame body, and the second adjustment rod is threadedly connected to the adjustment block 61 and abuts against or connects to the movable plate 12.

[0049] The adjusting block 61 is provided with a bolt hole 62 penetrating the first plane and a connecting hole 63 penetrating the second plane; the adjusting block 61 is connected to the frame body through the bolt hole 62 and threadedly connected to the second adjusting rod through the connecting hole 63; the first plane is perpendicular to the second plane.

[0050] The movable adjustment component is divided into a vertical movable adjustment component 7 and a horizontal movable adjustment component 6; the vertical movable adjustment component 7 is located above or below the tool magazine support 2, and the horizontal movable adjustment component 6 is located on the side of the tool magazine support 2 away from the tool magazine 3.

[0051] The vertical height of the moving plate 12 can be adjusted by the vertical adjustment component 7, thereby adjusting the vertical height of the tool magazine 3. The horizontal position of the moving plate 12 can be adjusted by the horizontal adjustment component 6, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the tool magazine 3.

[0052] Specifically, the top of the tool magazine bracket 2 is provided with a lifting ring 23 for hoisting the tool magazine bracket 2.

[0053] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0054] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
