Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of numerical control drilling machines, and more particularly, to a partitioned tool magazine and a numerical control six-sided drilling machine. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in furniture production, numerical control six-sided drilling machines are increasingly widely used for drilling, milling slots, and milling shapes on furniture panels, and are connected to other furniture production equipment to form an automated production line. The existing numerical control six-sided drilling machines on the market use the processing devices (including a spindle milling cutter and a group drill set for manual tool change) arranged on the upper crossbeam to drill and mill slots on the top surface of the panel, and can also use the processing devices (including a group drill set and a milling cutter) arranged on the lower crossbeam to drill and mill slots on the bottom surface of the workpiece. However, the limitations of this configuration of numerical control six-sided drilling machines are as follows: The tool diameter and type of the spindle milling cutter limit the processing range. For example, a straight milling cutter with a diameter of 6 mm cannot process a slot with a width of 3 mm; a straight milling cutter can only process rectangular slots and cannot process Laminova slots; if side slots need to be processed, the saw blade needs to be manually replaced. In this case, increasing the number of spindle milling cutters for manual tool change cannot solve the problem of insufficient tool specifications, and will also significantly increase the size of the processing equipment. Therefore, the existing numerical control six-sided drilling machines cannot meet the needs of the multi-functional and fully automated development of furniture production equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a partitioned tool magazine and a numerical control six-sided drilling machine to solve the problems of insufficient tool specifications and significant increase in the size of the processing equipment of the existing numerical control six-sided drilling machines.

Unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0036] In one embodiment, a partitioned tool magazine includes a tool rest base, a mounting plate mechanism, and a first driving mechanism. Along a first horizontal direction, the mounting plate mechanism is slidably disposed on the tool rest base. One side of the top end of the mounting plate mechanism protrudes with a first fixing plate, and the other opposite side protrudes with a second fixing plate, and the second fixing plate is disposed opposite to the first fixing plate; the first driving mechanism is disposed on the tool rest base, and the first driving mechanism is drivingly connected to the mounting plate mechanism for driving the mounting plate mechanism to slide on the tool rest base; a plurality of tools are detachably provided on the first fixing plate, a plurality of tools are detachably provided on the second fixing plate, and the tools on the first fixing plate and the tools on the second fixing plate are respectively distributed along the first horizontal direction.

[0037] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a partitioned tool magazine 10 in an embodiment includes a tool rest base 100, a mounting plate mechanism 200, and a first driving mechanism 300. Along a first horizontal direction H1, the mounting plate mechanism is slidably disposed on the tool rest base. One side of the top end of the mounting plate mechanism protrudes with a first fixing plate 201, and the other opposite side protrudes with a second fixing plate 202, and the second fixing plate is disposed opposite to the first fixing plate; the first driving mechanism is disposed on the tool rest base, and the first driving mechanism is drivingly connected to the mounting plate mechanism for driving the mounting plate mechanism to slide on the tool rest base; a plurality of tools 400 are detachably provided on the first fixing plate, a plurality of tools are detachably provided on the second fixing plate, and the tools on the first fixing plate and the tools on the second fixing plate are respectively distributed along the first horizontal direction. In this embodiment, also refer to Figure 3, multiple cutters on the first fixed plate form a first cutter partition area 401, and multiple cutters on the second fixed plate form a second cutter partition area 402. In one embodiment, the first fixed plate faces the tool rest base, and the second fixed plate faces away from the tool rest base.

[0038] For the above-mentioned partitioned tool magazine, a mounting plate mechanism is provided on the tool rest base. Two rows of cutters are arranged along the first horizontal direction on the mounting plate mechanism. The two rows of cutters are arranged back to back and divided into two partitions. Multiple cutters are detachably arranged on the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate of the mounting plate mechanism. The mounting plate mechanism moves along the first horizontal direction on the tool rest base. Therefore, the required cutter can be clamped by controlling the movement of the electric spindle along the second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction and the lifting along the vertical direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. Multiple cutters can achieve more machining processes, greatly reducing the occurrence of joint machining with the same equipment, reducing the required number of equipment, and simultaneously reducing the on-site occupied space. Moreover, the tool magazine has a partitioned layout, saving space to the greatest extent. On the one hand, the partitioned structure maximizes the number of cutters installed while avoiding mechanical interference of the equipment during tool change; on the other hand, the external dimensions of the CNC six-sided drilling machine equipped with the tool magazine do not increase significantly, further saving factory space.

[0039] To facilitate the detachable setting of the cutters on the mounting plate mechanism, in one embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, multiple tool holders 500 are respectively provided on the first fixed plate and the second fixed plate. Each tool holder holds one cutter. In this way, when the electric spindle moves to clamp the cutter, the cutter can be taken out from the tool holder, that is, the cutter can be detached from the mounting plate mechanism, thereby realizing tool change. The setting of the tool holders facilitates the detachable setting of the cutters on the mounting plate mechanism, which is simple and convenient.

[0040] To facilitate the setting of the cutters, in one embodiment, one side of the first fixed plate is perpendicular to the mounting plate mechanism, and the other side of the second fixed plate is perpendicular to the mounting plate mechanism.

[0041] To facilitate the movement of the mounting plate mechanism along the first horizontal direction on the tool rest base, in one embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the mounting plate mechanism includes a connected mounting plate assembly 210 and a first slider 220. A first guide rail 110 extending along the first horizontal direction is provided on the tool rest base. The first slider is slidably connected to the first guide rail. The mounting plate assembly has opposite first mounting surface 210a and second mounting surface 210b. The first fixing plate is provided on the first mounting surface, and the second fixing plate is provided on the second mounting surface. The first slider is disposed on the first mounting surface. The first driving mechanism is drivingly connected to the mounting plate assembly or the first slider. Since the first guide rail is provided on the tool rest base, the first guide rail extends along the first horizontal direction, and the mounting plate mechanism includes the mounting plate assembly and the first slider. By slidably connecting the first slider to the first guide rail and being driven by the first driving mechanism, the mounting plate assembly can move along the first horizontal direction on the tool rest base, thereby placing the corresponding tool on the travel route of the electric spindle, enabling the electric spindle to clamp the required tool. In one embodiment, the first driving mechanism is drivingly connected to the mounting plate assembly, which will not affect the connection between the first slider and the mounting plate assembly while allowing the first slider to slidably connect to the first guide rail, avoiding the problem that the first slider does not have enough space to be drivingly connected to the first driving mechanism and affecting the effective driving of the mounting plate mechanism by the first driving mechanism.

[0042] To prevent the first slider from disengaging from the first guide rail or the first slider from colliding with the first guide rail, in one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, buffer blocks 600 are respectively provided at both ends of the first guide rail. At least a part of the buffer blocks is located in the sliding space of the first guide rail. Since buffer blocks are respectively provided at both ends of the first guide rail, the first slider can be blocked, preventing the first slider from disengaging from the first guide rail, ensuring the stable sliding of the mounting plate assembly and the first slider on the first guide rail of the tool rest base. Moreover, to prevent the first slider from sliding out of the first guide rail, a stop block might be set or the two ends of the first guide rail might be closed in the prior art. In this embodiment, buffer blocks are used. The buffer blocks can provide buffering. When the first slider slides to the end of the first guide rail, the first slider directly presses against the buffer blocks, avoiding rigid collision between the first slider and the first guide rail and damage. In one embodiment, the buffer blocks are provided on the first guide rail. In one embodiment, the buffer blocks are provided on the tool rest base and connected to the first guide rail. In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, a buffer block mounting plate 610 is provided on the tool rest base. One end of the buffer block is connected to the buffer block mounting plate, and the other end is disposed in the internal space of the first guide rail. In one embodiment, the buffer block mounting plate abuts against the end face of the first guide rail.

[0043] To reduce the operation procedures during tool change, in one embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, each of the cutting tools on the first fixed plate and one of the cutting tools on the second fixed plate are located on a straight line parallel to the second horizontal direction H2. Along the direction parallel to the second horizontal direction, each of the cutting tools on the first fixed plate and one of the cutting tools on the second fixed plate are linearly distributed to form a tool position, and the tool positions are sequentially spaced apart. The second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. In this way, the cutting tools on the first fixed plate and the cutting tools on the second fixed plate correspond to each other in the second horizontal direction, that is, the cutting tools in the first tool partition and the cutting tools in the second tool partition correspond one by one. In this way, when the mounting plate mechanism moves to a suitable position, when the electric spindle moves along the second horizontal direction, it can clamp the cutting tools in the first tool partition or the second tool partition. Without moving the mounting plate mechanism, only by moving the electric spindle, it can clamp different cutting tools in the same tool position, saving the operation process.

[0044] In order to accurately realize tool change for multiple tool positions, in one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the first driving mechanism includes a first driving member 310 and a second driving member 320. Referring also to Figure 4 , the first driving member includes a first driving body 311 and a first driving rod 312. The first driving body is connected to the tool rest seat, and the first driving rod telescopically moves in the first driving body. The second driving member includes a second driving body 321 and a second driving rod 322. The second driving body is connected to the mounting plate mechanism, and the second driving rod telescopically moves in the second driving body. One end of the first driving rod away from the first driving body is connected to one end of the second driving rod away from the second driving body. The telescopic directions of the first driving rod and the second driving rod are respectively parallel to the first horizontal direction. Referring also to Figure 3 , the multiple cutting tools on the first fixed plate include a first cutting tool 410, a second cutting tool 420, a third cutting tool 430, and a fourth cutting tool 440 arranged in sequence. The multiple cutting tools on the second fixed plate include a fifth cutting tool 450, a sixth cutting tool 460, a seventh cutting tool 470, and an eighth cutting tool 480 arranged in sequence. Referring also to Figure 4 , along the direction parallel to the second horizontal direction, the first cutting tool and the fifth cutting tool are linearly distributed to form a first tool position 415, the second cutting tool and the sixth cutting tool are linearly distributed to form a second tool position 426, the third cutting tool and the seventh cutting tool are linearly distributed to form a third tool position 437, and the fourth cutting tool and the eighth cutting tool are linearly distributed to form a fourth tool position 448. The length of the first driving rod is greater than the length of the second driving rod. When both the first driving rod and the second driving rod are extended, the first tool position is located at a predetermined position 700. Referring also to Figures 4 to 7, when the first driving rod contracts and the second driving rod extends, the second tool position is at the predetermined position; when the first driving rod extends and the second driving rod contracts, the third tool position is at the predetermined position; when both the first driving rod and the second driving rod contract, the fourth tool position is at the predetermined position. In this embodiment, the first driving rod and the second driving rod are butt-jointed in parallel. In this embodiment, the first tool position is adjacent to the first driving member relative to the fourth tool position, and the fourth tool position is adjacent to the first driving member relative to the first tool position. In this way, through the combination of the first driving rod and the second driving rod, the second driving body can be located at four points, that is, drive the mounting plate mechanism to accurately reach four positions, so that the four tool positions can respectively reach the predetermined positions, and the predetermined positions are directly below the electric spindle. In this way, it is realized that the electric spindle can be respectively directly above the four tool positions. When both the first driving rod and the second driving rod extend, the first tool position is directly below the electric spindle; when the first driving rod contracts and the second driving rod extends, the second tool position is directly below the electric spindle; when the first driving rod extends and the second driving rod contracts, the third tool position is directly below the electric spindle; when both the first driving rod and the second driving rod contract, the fourth tool position is directly below the electric spindle. Therefore, the four tool positions are accurately aligned with the electric spindle, that is, the tool change of multiple tool positions is accurately realized. Further moving the electric spindle along the second horizontal direction can accurately realize the tool change of eight tools. It is worth mentioning that the extension and contraction of the first driving rod and the second driving rod in this embodiment are complete, so that the four tool positions are respectively moved directly below the electric spindle.

[0045] In one embodiment, the first driving member includes but is not limited to one of a cylinder, an oil cylinder and an electric cylinder, and the second driving member includes but is not limited to one of a cylinder, an oil cylinder and an electric cylinder. In one embodiment, the first driving member is a first cylinder, the second driving member is a second cylinder, the first cylinder includes a first cylinder body and a first piston rod, the second cylinder includes a second cylinder body and a second piston rod, the first driving body is the first cylinder body, the first driving rod is the first piston rod, the second driving body is the second cylinder body, and the second driving rod is the second piston rod.

[0046] In order to stably mount the first driving member, in one embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the first driving member further includes a first fixing seat 313, and the first driving body is connected to the tool rest base through the first fixing seat, so that the first driving member is arranged on the tool rest base.

[0047] In order to stably mount the second driving member, in one embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the second driving member further includes a second front fixing seat 323 and a second rear fixing seat 324. One end of the second driving body is connected to the mounting plate mechanism through the second front fixing seat, and the other end of the second driving body is connected to the mounting plate mechanism through the second rear fixing seat. Since the second driving rod is relatively long, the second driving body also needs to be relatively long. By connecting a fixing seat to the mounting plate body at both ends of the second driving body respectively, it is possible to avoid the unstable situation that may occur when the relatively long second driving body is only connected to the mounting plate body through one fixing seat.

[0048] In other embodiments, as Figure 8 shown, the first driving mechanism includes a driving motor 300a, a ball screw 300b, and a ball screw nut 300c. The driving motor is disposed on the tool rest seat. The output end of the driving motor is connected to one end of the ball screw. The ball screw is disposed on the tool rest seat through a bearing 300d. The ball screw extends along the first horizontal direction. The ball screw nut is sleeved on the ball screw. The ball screw nut is connected to the mounting plate mechanism. In this way, by driving the ball screw to rotate through the driving motor, the ball screw nut can be driven to move along the first horizontal direction on the ball screw, so as to drive the mounting plate mechanism to move along the first horizontal direction on the tool rest seat. In one embodiment, the first driving mechanism further includes a coupling 300e. One end of the coupling is connected to the output end of the driving motor, and the other end is connected to one end of the ball screw. In one embodiment, the bearing is disposed on the tool rest seat through a ball screw seat 300f. In one embodiment, the driving motor is disposed on the tool rest seat through a motor seat.

[0049] To facilitate the connection between the first driving rod and the second driving rod, in one embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the first driving mechanism further includes a connecting member 330. A first connecting hole is formed in the end face of one end of the connecting member, and a second connecting hole is formed in the end face of the other end. The end of the first driving rod away from the first driving body is disposed in the first connecting hole, and the end of the second driving rod away from the second driving body is disposed in the second connecting hole. In this embodiment, the center line of the first connecting hole is collinear with the center line of the second connecting hole. By providing the connecting member, it is convenient to dock the first driving rod and the second driving rod, and it is convenient for the four tool positions to stably move to the predetermined positions in sequence. In one embodiment, the connecting member is a cylinder ejector rod.

[0050] In order to facilitate the detachable connection between the first driving rod and the second driving rod while ensuring the connection stability between the two, in one embodiment, a first internal thread is provided in the first connection hole, and a first external thread is provided at one end of the first driving rod away from the first driving body. The first external thread is adapted to the first internal thread; a second internal thread is provided in the second connection hole, and a second external thread is provided at one end of the second driving rod away from the second driving body. The second external thread is adapted to the second internal thread. In this way, the first driving rod is screwed to one end of the connecting member, and the second driving rod is screwed to the other end of the connecting member, so that the first driving rod and the second driving rod are detachably connected while ensuring the connection stability between the two.

[0051] In order to prevent the electric spindle from clamping the tool in the farther tool partition and causing the electric spindle and other machining devices to collide with the tools in the nearer tool partition, in one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 9 shown, the first fixing plate faces and is adjacent to the tool rest seat, the second fixing plate faces away from the tool rest seat. Along the vertical direction V, the height of each of the tools on the first fixing plate is less than the height of each of the tools on the second fixing plate. The vertical direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. In this way, when the electric spindle 30 moves horizontally from the direction of the tool rest seat, when it needs to clamp the tool on the farther second fixing plate, the electric spindle and other machining devices 40 will pass through the vertical direction where the tools on the first fixing plate are located. Since the height of each of the tools on the first fixing plate is less than the height of each of the tools on the second fixing plate, when the electric spindle is adjusted to the corresponding height, it can pass directly above each of the tools on the first fixing plate without colliding with each of the tools on the first fixing plate.

[0052] In order to adjust the height difference between the tools on the second fixing plate and the tools on the first fixing plate so that the partitioned tool magazine can be adapted to different electric spindles to avoid interference between the electric spindle and the first fixing plate, the tools on the first fixing plate, or the first mounting plate, in one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the mounting plate assembly includes a first mounting plate 211, a second mounting plate 212, and a second driving mechanism 213. The side of the first mounting plate facing the tool rest base is the first mounting surface. The side of the second mounting plate facing away from the first mounting plate is the second mounting surface. A second guide rail 211a is provided on the side of the first mounting plate facing away from the first mounting surface. A second slider 212a is provided on the side of the second mounting plate facing away from the second mounting surface. Along the vertical direction, the second slider is slidably disposed on the second guide rail. The vertical direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The second driving mechanism is disposed on the first mounting plate and is drivingly connected to the second mounting plate or the second slider for driving the second mounting plate to slide relative to the first mounting plate along the vertical direction. The first driving mechanism is drivingly connected to the first mounting plate or the first slider. In this way, by driving the second mounting plate or the second slider through the second driving mechanism, the second slider can slide along the vertical direction on the second guide rail on the first mounting plate, so that the height of the second fixing plate can be adjusted, that is, the height difference between the tool on the second fixing plate and the tool on the first fixing plate can be adjusted. When the electric spindle and other devices are relatively large in volume, the height of the tool on the second fixing plate can be adjusted to increase the height difference between the tool on the second fixing plate and the tool on the first fixing plate. In this way, when the electric spindle moves to clamp the tool on the second fixing plate, even if the electric spindle and other devices are relatively large in volume, the electric spindle and other devices will not collide with the first fixing plate, the tool on the first fixing plate, or the first mounting plate when moving, and there is no need for the electric spindle to repeatedly lift and lower to adjust the height during horizontal movement. In this way, the partitioned tool magazine can be applicable to different electric spindles. In one embodiment, the second driving mechanism is drivingly connected to the second mounting plate, which will not affect the connection between the second slider and the second mounting plate and the sliding connection with the second guide rail, avoiding the problem that the second slider does not have enough space to be drivingly connected to the second driving mechanism and affecting the effective driving of the second driving mechanism. In one embodiment, the first driving mechanism is drivingly connected to the first mounting plate or the first slider, which will not affect the connection between the first slider and the first mounting plate and the sliding connection with the first guide rail, avoiding the problem that the first slider does not have enough space to be drivingly connected to the first driving mechanism and affecting the effective driving of the first driving mechanism.

[0053] To facilitate the second driving mechanism to drive the second mounting plate to slide on the first mounting plate, in one embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the second driving mechanism includes a third driving body 2131 and a third driving rod 2132. The third driving body is connected to the first mounting plate. The third driving rod is telescopically movable in the third driving body. One end of the third driving rod away from the third driving body is connected to the second mounting plate. The telescopic direction of the third driving rod is parallel to the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the second driving mechanism is drivingly connected to the second mounting plate. In this way, by the telescopic movement of the third driving rod in the third driving body, the second mounting plate and the second slider are driven to move vertically on the first mounting plate, which is convenient and simple.

[0054] In one embodiment, the second driving mechanism includes, but is not limited to, one of a cylinder, an oil cylinder, and an electric cylinder. In one embodiment, the second driving mechanism is a third cylinder. The third cylinder includes a third cylinder body and a third piston rod. The third driving body is the third cylinder body, and the third driving rod is the third piston rod.

[0055] To stably mount the second driving mechanism, in one embodiment, the second driving mechanism further includes a third fixing seat 2133. The third driving body is connected to the first mounting plate through the third fixing seat, so that the third driving body is arranged on the first mounting plate. In one embodiment, the third fixing seat is a connecting plate. One side of the connecting plate is connected to the third driving body, and the other side is connected to the first mounting plate. In one embodiment, the second driving mechanism further includes a top plate 2134. One end of the third driving rod away from the third driving body is connected to the second mounting plate through the top plate.

[0056] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, a numerically controlled six-sided drilling machine 50 includes an electric spindle 20, a frame body 30, and a partitioned tool magazine as described in any of the above embodiments. The tool rest is arranged on the frame body. The electric spindle is movably connected to the frame body. Along a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, the electric spindle moves horizontally. Along a vertical direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, the electric spindle moves up and down. In one embodiment, the electric spindle moves horizontally away from the frame body and simultaneously moves horizontally close to the mounting plate mechanism of the partitioned tool magazine. In one embodiment, the electric spindle moves up and down close to or away from the mounting plate mechanism along the vertical direction. In one embodiment, the numerically controlled six-sided drilling machine further includes other processing devices 40. The other processing devices move along the second horizontal direction together with the electric spindle.

[0057] The above-mentioned numerically controlled six-sided drilling machine includes a partitioned tool magazine. An installation plate mechanism is provided on the tool rest of the partitioned tool magazine. Two rows of tools distributed along the first horizontal direction are provided on the installation plate mechanism. The two rows of tools are arranged back to back and divided into two partitions. Multiple tools are detachably arranged on the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate of the installation plate mechanism. The installation plate mechanism moves on the tool rest along the first horizontal direction. Therefore, it is possible to control the electric spindle to move along the second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction and lift and lower along the vertical direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction to clamp the required tool. Multiple tools can achieve more processing procedures, greatly reducing the occurrence of joint processing with the same equipment, reducing the required number of equipment, and synchronously reducing the on-site occupied space. Moreover, the tool magazine has a partitioned layout, saving space to the greatest extent. On the one hand, the partitioned structure maximizes the number of tool installations while avoiding mechanical interference of the equipment during tool change; on the other hand, the overall dimensions of the numerically controlled six-sided drilling machine with the installed tool magazine do not increase significantly, further saving factory space.
