[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] See Figures 1 to 15The present invention provides a CNC machine tool, which includes a machine tool body 1, a turntable, a tool holder and a tool magazine provided in the machine tool, a tool setting seat 2 and a bracket 6 located on the right side of the tool setting seat 2 provided in the machine tool body 1, a tool setting instrument 3 provided in the tool setting seat 2, a protective cover 4 covering the tool setting instrument 3 is elastically slidably provided on the tool setting seat 2, and the protective cover prevents impurities such as iron filings and coolant generated during the processing from contaminating or damaging the tool setting instrument, a cylinder 7 is horizontally provided on the tool setting seat 2, and the end of the piston rod of the cylinder 7 is connected to a transverse member 8 that fits the bracket 6, the bracket is in a circular shape, and an air supply that can be connected to an air pipe is slidably provided on the bracket 6 for moving up and down. Component 10, a rotary blowing component 11 connected to the air supply component 10 is provided on the bracket 6. When the transverse member 8 moves to the left, the transverse member 8 drives the air supply component 10 to lift and lower the rotary blowing component 11. At the same time, the transverse member 8 drives the rotary blowing component 11 to rotate and blow. The rotary blowing component 11 performs spiral chip blowing on the cutter head. Compressed air is used as a power source to spray compressed air to the tool to form a powerful airflow. The spiral airflow can more comprehensively cover various parts of the tool, especially the dead corners such as the grooves and blades of the tool, and remove iron chips more thoroughly. The transverse member 8 pushes the protective cover 4 to expose the tool setting instrument 3. After the tool has processed the workpiece, the tool moves to the tool changing position, the tool in the tool magazine rotates and the tool magazine door is opened. During the rotation of the tool in the tool magazine, the cylinder drives the transverse member to move left, and the transverse member pushes open the protective cover, slowly revealing the tool setting instrument in the tool holder. At the same time, the transverse member drives the air supply assembly to rise with the rotary blow assembly and then descends to reset. During the lifting and lowering of the rotary blow assembly, the compressed gas enters the rotary blow assembly through the air supply assembly, and the transverse member drives the rotary blow assembly to rotate and blow, so that the rotary blow assembly blows chips spirally at the cutter head. At this time, the transverse member moves to the bottom left and the tool setting instrument is completely exposed. All of the above can be completed during the rotation of the tool, thereby saving time. After the tool magazine is changed, the tool moves to the tool setting instrument to complete the tool setting and move away, and then the transverse member moves right to reset. The transverse member keeps the air supply assembly that has been lowered and reset stationary, and the protective cover moves right to reset under the action of the elastic ground. The protective cover covers the tool setting instrument, and the replaced tool can process the workpiece on the turntable.
[0032] See Figure 11 、 Figure 14 The traverse member 8 consists of a push bar 8.1 on the left connected to a square frame 8.2 on the right. The push bar 8.1 is symmetrically arranged front to back. Guide grooves 8.3 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the square frame 8.2. A hinge block 9 is rotatably arranged at the guide groove 8.3. A rack 8.4 is arranged laterally on the inner side of the square frame 8.2. Fixed blocks 12 that are pushed by the push bar 8.1 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the protective cover 4. The push bar can push the protective cover to the left to expose the tool setting instrument. When the traverse member moves to the left, the guide groove can make the air supply assembly rise and fall. When the traverse member moves to the right, the guide groove keeps the air supply assembly stationary, and the rack can drive the rotating member of the rotary blow assembly to rotate.
[0033] Guide channel 8.3 consists of a left-side horizontal section connected to a right-side triangular section. An articulated block 9 is pivotally mounted at the diagonal corner of the triangular section, adjacent to the horizontal section. The articulated block 9 rests obliquely against the flat surface at the bottom of guide channel 8.3. When the transverse member moves left, the air supply assembly's slide column ascends along the triangular section of the guide channel and then descends to reset. The slide column is blocked by the articulated block and can only ascend. When the transverse member moves right, the air supply assembly's slide column remains stationary at the bottom of the guide channel, pushing the articulated block aside and resetting into the horizontal section of the guide channel. The articulated block then resets under the action of gravity.
[0034] The air supply assembly 10 includes a lifting rod 10.3 symmetrically arranged front and back. The lifting rod 10.3 is slidably fitted to the bracket 6 for vertical movement. A sliding column 10.4 is longitudinally provided on the inner side of the lifting rod 10.3, which is slidably fitted to the guide groove 8.3 and cooperates with the hinge block 9. A stabilizing sleeve 10.1 is installed on the upper end of the lifting rod 10.3, and an air nozzle 10.2 that can be connected to the air pipe is passed through the stabilizing sleeve 10.1. When the transverse moving part moves to the left, the guide groove drives the sliding column to rise and then fall. The sliding column is blocked by the hinge block and can only rise. The sliding column rises and then falls with the lifting rod, stabilizing sleeve, and rotary blow assembly. The rotating part of the rotary blow assembly is inserted into the tool. Compressed air is blown to the tool through the air nozzle and the rotary blow assembly. It rises and then falls to complete the secondary chip blowing. When the transverse moving part moves to the right to reset, the sliding column does not move at the bottom of the guide groove. The sliding column pushes away the hinge block and enters the horizontal section of the guide groove to reset.
[0035] The rotary blowing assembly 11 includes a rotating member 11.1 that rotates within the stabilizing sleeve 10.1. A curved rod 11.3 is symmetrically provided at the bottom of the rotating member 11.1 along its axis. A first gear 11.4 and a second gear 11.6 that are meshed with each other are rotatably provided on the bracket 6. The second gear 11.6 can mesh with the rack 8.4. The first gear 11.4 is coaxially arranged with the rotating member 11.1, and the curved rod 11.3 is vertically penetrated through the first gear 11.4. When the transverse moving part moves to the left, the rotary air blowing assembly rises and falls with the air supply assembly. During the lifting process, the rack of the transverse moving part engages with the second gear, the second gear rotates with the first gear, and the first gear drives the rotating part to rotate through two crankshafts. The lifted and rotating rotating part moves in a spiral manner, and the compressed air is blown spirally toward the tool through the air nozzle and the rotating part. The blown-off iron chips fall from the middle of the rotating part (the iron chips are blocked by the inner wall of the rotating part and will not splash out), and the iron chips attached to the tool are very few and will not affect the tool setter on the left.
[0036] A rotating drum 11.5 is coaxially arranged at the bottom of the first gear 11.4 and rotates on the bracket 6. The two curved rods 11.3 are located inside the rotating drum 11.5.
[0037] The bottom of the rotating member 11.1 extends outward to form a bottom ring, and the top of the rotating member 11.1 is equipped with a mounting ring 11.2. The mounting ring and the bottom ring fit the upper and lower end surfaces of the stabilizing sleeve, the rotating member is installed in the stabilizing sleeve, and then the mounting ring is installed.
[0038] See Figure 13 、 Figure 15 The outer ring of rotating member 11.1 is provided with an outer ring groove 11.1.1, which communicates with air nozzle 10.2. Air holes 11.1.2 are evenly distributed along the circumference of outer ring groove 11.1.1. The inner wall of rotating member 11.1 is also provided with inner ring grooves 11.1.3 at equal intervals. Compressed air enters the outer ring groove through the air nozzle and is then blown from the outer ring groove through the air holes toward the tool. The compressed air blown toward the tool rebounds against the inner wall of the rotating member. The inner ring groove allows the rebounded compressed air to be dispersed and rebounded toward the tool, thus blowing away the chips.
[0039] A stepped hole is formed transversely at the left end of the tool holder 2. A slide rod 5 connected to the protective cover 4 is slidably mounted in the stepped hole. An elastic member is mounted on the outer sleeve of the slide rod 5, connecting the protective cover 4 and the stepped hole. The elastic member is preloaded. When the push bar pushes the protective cover to the left, the elastic member can make the protective cover abut against the push bar, making the protective cover move left stably. When the push bar moves right to reset, the elastic member drives the protective cover to return to its original position.
[0040] The specific working process of the present invention is as follows: after the tool has processed the workpiece, the tool moves to the tool changing position, the tool in the tool magazine rotates and the tool magazine door is opened. During the rotation of the tool in the tool magazine, the cylinder drives the transverse member to move left, and the transverse member pushes open the protective cover, slowly revealing the tool setting instrument in the tool setting seat. At the same time, the guide groove drives the slide column to rise and then fall. The slide column is blocked by the hinge block and can only rise. The slide column rises with the lifting rod, the stabilizing sleeve, and the rotating blow assembly. The rotating member is inserted into the tool, such as Figure 7 As shown, the sliding column descends with the lifting rod, the stabilizing sleeve, and the rotary blowing assembly. During the lifting process, the rack of the transverse member meshes with the second gear, the second gear rotates with the first gear, and the first gear drives the rotating member to rotate through two crankshafts. The lifted and rotating rotating member moves in a spiral manner, and the compressed air is blown spirally toward the tool through the air nozzle through the outer ring groove and the blowing hole of the rotating member. The blown iron chips fall from the middle of the rotating member (the iron chips are blocked by the inner wall of the rotating member and will not splash out), and the iron chips attached to the tool are very few and will not affect the tool setter on the left. After rising, it descends to complete the secondary chip blowing. The spiral airflow can cover all parts of the tool more comprehensively, especially the dead angles such as the grooves and blades of the tool, and the iron chips are removed more thoroughly. At this time, the transverse member moves to the left to the bottom and the tool setter is completely exposed. All of the above can be completed in the process of tool rotation, thereby saving time. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, after the tool change is completed, the tool is moved to the tool setting instrument to complete the tool setting and then moved away, as shown in the figure. Figure 9 As shown, the transverse member then moves rightward to reset, the slide column remains stationary at the bottom of the guide groove, the stabilizing sleeve remains stationary, the slide column pushes the hinge block away and enters the horizontal section of the guide groove, the hinge block resets under the action of gravity and tilts against the plane at the bottom of the guide groove, the protective cover moves rightward to reset under the action of elasticity, and the protective cover covers the tool setting instrument, as shown in FIG. Figure 10As shown, the replaced tool can be used to process the workpiece on the turntable.
[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
