[0002] A milling machine is a widely used machine tool. It can process planes (horizontal and vertical surfaces), grooves (keyways, T-slots, dovetail grooves, etc.), toothed parts (gears, spline shafts, sprockets), spiral surfaces (threads, spiral grooves) and various curved surfaces. In addition, it can also be used for machining the surface of a rotating body, machining inner holes and cutting. When the milling machine is working, the workpiece is mounted on a workbench or an accessory such as a dividing head. The rotation of the milling cutter is the main motion, supplemented by the feed motion of the workbench or milling head, so that the workpiece can obtain the desired machining surface. Due to multi-blade intermittent cutting, the productivity of the milling machine is relatively high. Simply put, a milling machine is a machine tool that can perform milling, drilling and boring on workpieces.

[0003] In the manufacturing process of existing milling machine equipment, the movement in the Z-axis direction is usually achieved by raising and lowering the spindle box. Therefore, the spindle box and the servo assembly used to control the movement of the spindle box are heavy. When this structure is used for high-intensity milling planes or drilling, the spindle box will be subjected to strong lateral shear force and reverse force, which will lead to reduced accuracy of the spindle box in the Z-axis direction after long-term use.

Multiple groups of the guide rail assemblies, drive assemblies and locking assemblies are equidistantly distributed along the X direction of the workbench 4; the drive assembly includes a ball screw 5, a screw nut 6 and a reduction motor 7, the reduction motor 7 is fixed to the bottom of the base 1, the screw nut 6 is arranged on the lower surface of the workbench 4, the ball screw 5 is connected to the screw nut 6, the rotation of the reduction motor 7 drives the ball screw 5 to rotate, and the relative movement of the screw nut 6 and the ball screw 5 drives the workbench 4 to move up and down.

[0018] The guide rail assembly and the locking assembly each include a slide 8 and a slide rail 9. The slide 8 is arranged on the base 1, and the slide rail 9 is provided with the lower surface of the workbench 4. The slide rail 9 is inserted into the slide 8 to realize the sliding connection between the two. The locking assembly also includes two groups of tightening cylinders 10 which are symmetrically arranged with the slide rail 9. A pressing plate 11 is provided on the protruding end of each of the tightening cylinders 10. The left and right sides of the slide rail 9 in the locking assembly are provided with matching planes 12. The tightening cylinders 10 are fixed on the base 1. The tightening cylinders 10 extend out through the pressing plate 11 on the protruding end and press on the matching planes 12 on both sides of the slide rail 9 to clamp and fix the slide rail 9 in the locking assembly.

[0019] The height detection component includes a shell 13, in which a detection slide bar 14 is slidably connected, a spring 15 is connected between the top of the detection slide bar 14 and the inner wall of the shell 13, and a contact 16 is provided at the bottom of the detection slide bar 14; the inner wall of the shell 13 and the detection slide bar 14 are provided with a grating scale 17 that cooperates with each other.
