[0021] like Figure 1The four-axis drilling and milling machining center shown mainly includes a bed 1, a fixture 2, a cantilever beam 3, a Z-axis head 4 and a tool magazine system 15. The fixture 2 is provided with five groups, and the fixture 2 is composed of a fixture bracket 7, a fixture seat 8 and a positioning cylinder 9. The fixture bracket 7 is slidably connected to the bed 1 along the left and right directions through a slider guide rail. The upper end of the fixture bracket 7 is provided with a guide rail distributed in the front and rear directions. The fixture seat 8 is connected to the top of the fixture bracket 7 by sliding forward and backward through the slider guide rail. The cylinder body of the positioning cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the fixture bracket 7, and the end of the piston rod is fixedly connected to the fixture seat 8, thereby driving the fixture seat 8 to slide forward and backward and connect to the top of the fixture bracket 7. A constant A closed guide rail brake 13 is also provided at the rear end of the fixture bracket 7 with a mechanical valve 12 connected to the guide rail brake air supply pipeline, a guide column 11 is provided above the mechanical valve 12, an upper pressure seat 16 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the fixture bracket 7, and the guide column 11 is connected to the fixture bracket 7 by sliding up and down in the vertical direction through the upper pressure seat 16; the cantilever beam 3 is connected to the top of the bed 1 by sliding left and right along the guide rail slider, the Z-axis head 4 is connected to the cantilever beam 3 by sliding forward and backward, and the Z-axis head 3 is located above the fixture 2, and a drilling and milling power 5 is provided on the Z-axis machine 3, and the drilling and milling power head 5 is connected to the left side of the Z-axis head 4 by sliding up and down through a connecting plate, and the drilling and milling power head 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate, and a connecting plate is provided below the connecting plate. A lever 10 is arranged in a vertical direction, and the axis of the lever 10 and the guide column 11 are arranged parallel. In addition, a lever cylinder 17 and a linear guide 18 are arranged on the connecting plate of the Z-axis machine head 4. The cylinder body of the lever cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the lower end of the piston rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lever 10. Moreover, the lever 10 and the linear guide 18 are connected by sliding up and down in the vertical direction. The lower end of the lever 10 is also provided with a groove for matching with the upper end of the guide column 11. When the Z-axis machine head 4 drives the lever 10 to be located directly above the guide column 11, the lever cylinder 17 drives the lever 10 to move downward, and the connecting plate drives the lever 10 to move downward to press the guide column 11, thereby toggling the mechanical valve 12 to open. Close, so that the mechanical valve 12 is in the open state. At this time, the air supply pipeline of the normally closed guide rail brake 13 is closed, and the fixture 2 can slide freely along the length direction of the bed 1. The Z-axis head 4 slides left and right along the length direction of the bed 1 through the cantilever beam 3. At the same time, the fixture bracket 7 is driven by the lever 10 to drive the fixture 2 to move synchronously, and the fixture 2 is driven to the processing position. In addition, a reset spring is also arranged between the switch of the mechanical valve 12 and the guide column 11. When the lever 10 moves upward and away from the guide column 11, the mechanical valve 12 is reset under the action of the reset spring, and the switch button of the mechanical valve 12 pops up, the guide rail brake cuts off the air and locks the guide rail, and the positions of the fixture 2 and the fixture seat 8 in the X-axis direction are fixed.
[0022] The working principle of this device is as follows: according to the size of the profile to be processed, the Z-axis head 4 moves the lever 10 to the top of the clamp 2, the lever cylinder 18 drives the lever 10 to move downward, and then the lever 10 follows the connecting plate on the Z-axis head 4 to move downward to move the guide column 11 downward, thereby opening the switch button of the mechanical valve 12, and the guide rail brake 13 is ventilated and released. The clamp 2 can slide freely in the X-axis direction of the bed driven by the lever 10 to adjust the position. When the clamp 2 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the positioning cylinder 9 is in a retracted state, the clamp seat 8 is in the loading position, and then the profile is prevented from being placed on the clamp seat 8. After the clamp seat 8 clamps the profile through the clamping cylinder, the positioning cylinder 9 extends and the clamp is clamped. The tool seat 8 moves backward, thereby pushing the profile on the fixture seat 8 to the processing position, and the lever cylinder 18 drives the lever 10 to move upward to avoid affecting the subsequent workpiece processing. The Z-axis head 4 drives the drilling and milling power head 5 to process holes and grooves on the profile. After the processing is completed, the adjustment cylinder 9 retracts, the fixture seat 8 releases the cylinder, and the profile is removed. The setting of the adjustment cylinder 9 makes it easy to adjust the position between the fixture seat 9 and the drilling and milling power head 5 in the Y-axis direction, thereby shortening the loading distance. The Z-axis head 4 slides left and right along the bed through the cantilever beam 3 to adjust the position of the drilling and milling power head 5 in the X-axis direction, and adjusts the position of the drilling and milling power head 5 in the Z-axis direction by sliding the slide plate on the Z-axis head 4 up and down.
[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
