Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of gantry milling machines, and more particularly to a CNC gantry milling machine that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] A gantry milling machine, also known as a gantry milling machine, is a milling machine with a gantry frame and a horizontal long bed. It is suitable for semi-finishing and finishing in industries such as heavy machinery, locomotives, power generation, machine tools, automobiles, and molds. It can also be used for roughing. It has high machining accuracy and production efficiency and is suitable for machining the planes and inclined surfaces of large workpieces in batch and mass production. A gantry milling machine includes a gantry frame, a horizontal worktable that moves horizontally on the gantry frame, a vertical worktable that moves vertically on the horizontal worktable, a milling and turning mechanism (60) at the bottom of the vertical worktable, a work base set in the opening of the gantry frame, and a worktable that moves horizontally on the work base. The movement of the horizontal worktable, the vertical worktable, and the worktable completes the movement in the XYZ directions. During this process, the milling and turning mechanism (60) mills the surface of the workpiece.

[0003] The worktable has several inverted T-shaped slots evenly distributed perpendicular to the direction of movement of the worktable. These inverted T-shaped slots are used to install work fixtures. During operation, the workpiece is installed on the work fixture for milling. During the milling process, metal chips and other waste materials are generated, which will enter the inverted T-shaped slots. When cleaning the waste materials, it is necessary to clean the waste materials in the inverted T-shaped slots one by one, which makes the worktable cleaning inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problem of inconvenient worktable cleaning, this application provides a CNC gantry milling machine that is easy to clean.

[0005] The CNC gantry milling machine provided in this application, which is easy to clean, adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A CNC gantry milling machine that is easy to clean includes a gantry frame, a horizontally movable horizontal workbench mounted on the gantry frame, a vertically movable vertical workbench mounted on the horizontal workbench, a milling and turning mechanism mounted at the bottom of the vertical workbench, a work base mounted within an opening in the gantry frame, and a worktable mounted horizontally on the work base. The movement directions of the worktable and the horizontal workbench are perpendicular. The worktable includes a worktable body. The worktable body is formed with a plurality of vertical lifting grooves distributed vertically along the movement direction of the worktable. The upper end of each vertical lifting groove is open. A closed seat is vertically movable within each vertical lifting groove. A plurality of vertical lifting components are provided on the worktable body. Each vertical lifting component corresponds to a closed seat, and the vertical lifting component drives the closed seat on the corresponding side. When the closed seat is at its lowest point, an inverted T-shaped fixture mounting groove is formed between the upper end face of the closed seat and the upper part of the vertical lifting groove. When the closed seat is at its highest point, the closed seat fills the entire fixture mounting groove.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during operation, the tooling fixture is assembled through several fixture mounting slots. Then, the vertical lifting component drives the corresponding closed seat to rise, so that the unused fixture mounting slots of the tooling fixture are filled by the closed seat. In this way, the waste material from milling will only enter the fixture mounting slots used for tooling fixture installation, which greatly reduces the number of fixture mounting slots that need to be cleaned, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning.

[0008] Optionally, the side of the workbench body is formed with a U-shaped waste discharge rack with an opening facing away from the feed end; the cross-section of the waste discharge rack is L-shaped and its vertical part is located at the end of the horizontal part away from the workbench body; the upper surface of the vertical part of the waste discharge rack is higher than the upper surface of the workbench body; the upper surface of the horizontal part of the workbench body is lower than the lower sidewall of the fixture mounting groove.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, during milling, since the upper surface of the vertical part of the scrap rack is higher than the upper surface of the worktable body, it is beneficial for the milled scrap to enter the scrap rack. At the same time, since the upper surface of the horizontal part of the worktable body is lower than the lower side wall of the fixture mounting slot, during cleaning, the scrap on the upper surface of the worktable body and the scrap in the fixture mounting slot will fall into the scrap rack, which facilitates the collection of scrap.

[0010] Optionally, the sealing seat includes an inverted T-shaped lower sealing block and a pair of cuboid upper sealing blocks; the pair of upper sealing blocks are located on both sides of the upper part of the lower sealing block and are distributed vertically along the moving direction of the worktable; the upper sealing blocks are vertically slidably disposed on the upper part of the lower sealing block; the vertical lifting assembly is used to drive the lower sealing block to rise vertically; during the rise of the lower sealing block, the pair of upper sealing blocks are driven to rise; when the lower sealing block and the pair of upper sealing blocks are at the uppermost position, the lower sealing block and the pair of upper sealing blocks fill the entire fixture mounting slot; when the lower sealing block and the pair of upper sealing blocks are at the lowermost position, the upper surfaces of the lower sealing block and the pair of upper sealing blocks are on the same horizontal plane and this horizontal plane forms an inverted T-shaped fixture mounting slot with the upper part of the vertical lifting slot; when the lower sealing block is at the lowermost position and the pair of upper sealing blocks are in contact with the lower part of the lower sealing block, the upper end of the vertical part of the lower sealing block is inserted into the upper opening of the vertical lifting slot.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, in the initial state, all the lower and upper closing blocks are at the bottom, which facilitates the support feet of the working fixture to enter the fixture mounting slot. Then, the vertical lifting component drives the lower closing blocks to rise and press against the support feet of the working fixture, thus facilitating the limiting of the working fixture. At the same time, in the fixture mounting slots not used by the support feet of the working fixture, the vertical lifting component on the corresponding side drives the lower closing block to rise. During the rise of the lower closing block, a pair of upper closing blocks also rise, until the lower closing block and the pair of upper closing blocks fill the fixture mounting slots on the corresponding side, thus effectively preventing waste from entering the fixture mounting slots.

[0012] Optionally, the workbench body has several horizontally distributed blowing assemblies on its end face away from the feed end; each blowing assembly corresponds to a vertical lifting groove; each blowing assembly includes a vertically lifting blowing seat and a blowing lifting component for driving the blowing seat to move vertically; a pair of horizontally distributed blowing nozzles are installed on the end face of the blowing seat near the vertical lifting groove; the blowing nozzles are connected to an external air supply device; when the lower sealing block is at the lowest point and a pair of upper sealing blocks are in contact with the lower part of the lower sealing block, two rectangular ventilation holes are formed between the upper part of the lower sealing block and the horizontal part of the clamp mounting groove; when the blowing seat is at the highest point, each blowing nozzle corresponds to a ventilation hole and the blowing nozzle is directly facing the ventilation hole.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when waste needs to be cleaned, the tooling fixture is removed, and then the vertical lifting assembly of the lower sealing block in the fixture mounting slot is inserted into the upper opening of the vertical lifting slot. At this time, the lower sealing block is at the bottom and a pair of upper sealing blocks are in contact with the lower part of the lower sealing block. Then, a pair of blowers blow air out of the vent hole and onto the waste discharge rack. Then, the vertical lifting assembly continues to drive the lower sealing block to rise, and the pair of upper sealing blocks also rise synchronously to the top. At this time, the lower sealing block and the pair of upper sealing blocks fill the corresponding side of the fixture mounting slot. At this time, the upper surface of the lower sealing block is flush with the upper surface of the workbench body, which is conducive to subsequent cleaning. In summary, waste cleaning is convenient.

[0014] Optionally, the vertical lifting groove includes a lower rectangular sliding groove, a middle rectangular sliding groove, and an upper rectangular sliding groove; the middle sliding groove and the upper sliding groove are opened at both ends parallel to the moving direction of the worktable; the lower part of the lower sealing block is vertically slidably disposed in the lower sliding groove; a pair of upper sealing blocks are vertically slidably disposed in the middle sliding groove; the width of the middle sliding groove in the vertical direction along the moving direction of the worktable is greater than the width of the lower sliding groove in the vertical direction along the moving direction of the worktable; when the pair of upper sealing blocks are at the lowest point, the pair of upper sealing blocks abut against the lower sidewall of the middle sliding groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, in the initial state, the lower closing block and a pair of upper closing blocks are at the bottom, and the pair of upper closing blocks abut against the lower side wall of the middle sliding groove; when the lower closing block moves upward, the upper end of the lower closing block first exceeds the pair of upper closing blocks. At this time, the upper end of the lower closing block and the upper end of the pair of lower closing blocks form an inverted T-shape that adapts to the fixture mounting groove. Then the lower closing block and the pair of upper closing blocks rise together to fill the fixture mounting groove. This structure is simple and adaptable to the installation of tooling fixtures and the filling of the fixture mounting groove.

[0016] Optionally, the upper surface of the horizontal part of the waste material discharge rack is formed into a V-shaped discharge trough; the lower end of the discharge trough has a rounded corner.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the material chute facilitates the accumulation of waste, which is beneficial for subsequent waste collection and cleaning.

[0018] Optionally, a cleaning frame is detachably slidably connected between a pair of vertical portions of the waste discharge rack that are parallel to the moving direction of the workbench; the moving direction of the cleaning frame is parallel to the moving direction of the workbench; the cleaning frame includes an upper cleaning seat, a lower cleaning plate that is vertically movably disposed on the lower end surface of the upper cleaning seat, and a vertical adjustment member for adjusting the vertical position of the lower cleaning plate; the length direction of the lower cleaning plate is perpendicular to the moving direction of the workbench and a plurality of bristles are provided on its lower end surface.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, during cleaning, the cleaning frame is installed between a pair of vertical parts of the material drop frame. Then, the vertical position of the lower cleaning plate is adjusted by the vertical adjustment component so that the bristles contact the upper surface of the workbench body. Then, the cleaning frame is moved so that the bristles clean the upper surface of the workbench body.

[0020] Optionally, the lower cleaning plate is provided with cleaning components at both ends along its length; a pair of cleaning components are located on both sides of the workbench body and face the corresponding material drop troughs; the cleaning components clean the waste material in the corresponding material drop troughs as the cleaning frame moves.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, as the cleaning rack moves, a pair of cleaning components clean the waste in the longitudinal discharge chute, so that all the waste enters the transverse discharge chute, which is conducive to waste collection.

[0022] Optionally, the waste discharge rack has a waste discharge port formed in the middle near the feeding end; the waste discharge port is connected to the discharge trough; and an opening and closing plate is detachably connected inside the waste discharge port.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, by opening the opening and closing plate, the waste material gathered in the horizontal discharge chute can then leave from the waste discharge port, which is conducive to the discharge and collection of waste material.

[0024] Optionally, the upper cleaning seat includes an upper cleaning horizontal plate and a pair of upper cleaning brackets formed in the shape of a U-shape with downward openings at both ends of the upper cleaning horizontal plate along its length; the length direction of the upper cleaning horizontal plate is perpendicular to the moving direction of the workbench body; the upper cleaning brackets are sleeved from top to bottom on the upper end of the vertical part of the waste material drop rack on the corresponding side.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the cleaning rack, a pair of upper cleaning brackets are fitted from top to bottom onto the upper ends of a pair of vertical parts of the waste material discharge rack, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the cleaning rack.

[0061] The working principle of a CNC gantry milling machine that is easy to clean, as described in this application, is as follows:

[0062] During milling, the cleaning rack 70 is removed, and then the tooling fixture is installed in several fixture mounting slots on the corresponding side. Then, the lower closing blocks 22 in the remaining vertical lifting slots 210 rise. During the rise of the lower closing blocks 22, a pair of upper closing blocks 23 are also raised until the lower closing blocks 22 and the pair of upper closing blocks 23 reach their highest points, thus filling the entire fixture mounting slot. This method of milling prevents waste generated during the milling process from entering the slot filled with closing blocks 22 and the pair of upper closing blocks 23. Within the fixture mounting slot, only the fixture used for mounting the fixture and the scrap discharge rack 24 will fall into the fixture mounting slot. After milling, the tooling fixture is removed, and then the lower sealing block 22 in the vertical lifting slot 210 corresponding to the fixture mounting slot of the tooling fixture rises until the lower sealing bottom block 221 contacts the pair of upper sealing blocks 23 on the upper side. At this time, two rectangular vent holes are formed between the upper sealing top block 222 and the horizontal part of the fixture mounting slot. Then the blower seat 25 rises, so that the blower nozzle 250 is directly facing the vent holes. Airflow is blown from nozzle 250, thus blowing the waste material in the vent hole into the transverse part of the waste material discharge rack 24 near the feed end; then the lower sealing block 22 continues to rise until the lower sealing block 22 and a pair of upper sealing blocks 23 fill the clamp mounting slot, at which point the upper end face of the lower sealing block 22 is flush with the upper end face of the workbench body 21; then the cleaning rack 70 is installed, and then the vertical position of the lower cleaning plate 72 is adjusted so that the bottom of the bristles 73 contacts the upper end face of the workbench body 21, and then the vertical position of the pair of cleaning components 77 is adjusted. The bottom of the side brush bristles 773 comes into contact with the discharge trough 240. Then, the cleaning rack 70 moves from the side away from the feed end toward the feed end, so that the waste in the pair of longitudinal sections of the waste discharge rack 24 and the waste on the upper surface of the workbench body 21 enter the transverse section of the waste discharge rack 24. Then, the opening and closing plate 241 is removed to open the waste discharge port 2400. Then, the waste accumulated in the transverse section of the waste discharge rack 24 is swept out from the waste discharge port 2400 by hand with a brush and enters the waste recycling bin (not shown).

[0063] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
