The workbench 102 can slide relative to the bed 101 through the cooperation between the guide groove and the guide rails 105.

[0031] By applying the invention of the above embodiment, debris flying off the gantry milling machine during operation is blocked by the anti-splash parts on both sides of the workbench 102 and then falls into the collection trough 103. The first debris cleaning part can clean the debris accumulated in the collection trough 103 into the collection hopper 104, and the second debris cleaning part can clean the debris remaining on the workbench 102 into the collection hopper 104. The present invention can promptly clean the debris on the workbench 102 and also promptly collect the flying debris to prevent the debris from contaminating the ground. To a certain extent, it can improve work efficiency, ensure a good working environment, and save time and effort.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the splash guard includes a first baffle 106 and a second baffle 107. The inner side of the first baffle 106 is coplanar with the side wall of the collection tank 103. The second baffle 107 is arranged on top of the first baffle 106. The second baffle 107 can rotate around the top edge of the first baffle 106 and can be fixed in a position coplanar with the first baffle. The second baffle 107 and the first baffle 106 are hingedly connected. The provision of the second baffle 107 can increase the height of the splash guard and can block debris splashing at a larger angle. The second baffle 107 is movably connected to the first baffle 106. When loading and unloading workpieces on the workbench 102, the second baffle 107 can be rotated to a position where it will not interfere.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it is understood that a drive mechanism 108 is provided on the bed 101 corresponding to the splash guard portion, and the drive mechanism 108 is used to drive the second baffle 107 to rotate. The drive mechanism 108 can be a pneumatic cylinder, an oil cylinder, etc. If the drive mechanism 108 is a pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder, it can be tilted, with one end connected to the bed 101 and the other end connected to the second baffle 107. When the pneumatic cylinder or oil cylinder is extended or retracted, it can drive the second baffle 107 to rotate around the first baffle 106. The drive mechanism 108 is arranged on the outside of the second baffle 107 relative to the workbench 102, and can rotate the second baffle 107 to a position lower than the first baffle 106 to prevent the second baffle 107 from being too high when loading and unloading workpieces, which would be inconvenient to operate.

[0034] It is understood that the top edge of the first baffle 106 is lower than or equal to the top surface of the workbench 102, and the top edge of the second baffle 107 is higher than the top surface of the workbench 102 when the second baffle 107 is rotated to be coplanar with the first baffle 106. The first baffle 106 is provided to facilitate loading and unloading of workpieces, and the second baffle 107 is provided to prevent flying debris.
