Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of safety protection technology for CNC machine tools, and in particular to a protective device for a CNC lathe used in fan production. Background Technology
[0002] In the production and processing of fans, CNC machine tools are used to process their components. During operation, the spindle of the CNC machine tool rotates at high speed. Operators are inevitably at risk of contact with the spindle due to various factors, leading to serious accidents such as injury or even death. Traditional technology only uses an emergency stop button, which requires a certain reaction time to operate, resulting in low safety. Furthermore, after pressing the emergency stop button, the motor shaft and spindle still have a certain inertia, and the speed cannot be reduced quickly enough, failing to truly provide protection.
[0003] To address this, we propose a protective device for CNC lathes used in fan production. This device promptly disengages the drive equipment from the machining head when a person approaches the spindle and applies a brake to the machining head, effectively reducing speed and preventing accidents.

Multiple brake blocks are uniformly distributed in an annular shape at the bottom of the protective box, and the positions of the multiple brake blocks correspond one-to-one with the multiple active blocks. Each brake block consists of an upper block and a sliding block that are integrally formed and distributed vertically. The side of the brake block closer to the brake ring has an arc-shaped brake surface. The other side of the upper block opposite the brake surface has a passive surface, and the passive surface slides in contact with the active surface. The other side of the sliding block opposite the brake surface has a vertical surface. The sliding block is connected to the inner wall of the protective box by a second elastic guide component.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0017] Reference Figure 1-6 A protective device for a CNC lathe used in wind turbine production includes a protective box 1, a drive device 2 fixedly installed on the upper end of the protective box 1, a U-shaped connecting frame 23 fixedly connected to the upper end of the protective box 1, and a telescopic device 24 connected to the upper end of the connecting frame 23. The telescopic device 24 is responsible for the forward and backward movement of the processing head 9, and the drive device 2 is responsible for the power output of the processing head 9.
[0018] The output end of the drive device 2 is fixedly connected to a central shaft 3. The lower end of the central shaft 3 passes through the upper end of the protective box 1 and is rotatably connected to it. The protective box 1 is provided with a splined cylinder 4 that splines with the central shaft 3. Correspondingly, the upper end of the splined cylinder 4 is provided with a splined groove 41 that splines with the central shaft 3. The lower end of the splined cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to an upper rotating disk 5. The lower end of the upper rotating disk 5 is fixedly connected to an upper engagement ring 6. The drive device 2 drives the upper rotating disk 5 and the upper engagement ring 6 to rotate through the splined central shaft 3 and splined groove 41.
[0019] The lower end of the protective box 1 is rotatably connected to a lower rotating disk 7, and the upper end of the lower rotating disk 7 is fixedly connected to a lower engagement ring 8. The lower engagement ring 8 and the upper engagement ring 6 are used for disengagement and engagement. The disengagement and engagement here includes separation and engagement. When in the disengaged state, power cannot be transmitted. When in the engaged state, power can be transmitted.
[0020] The upper occlusal ring 6 has a plurality of upper occlusal teeth 61 evenly distributed in a ring at its lower end. The upper occlusal ring 6 forms an upper tooth groove 62 between every two adjacent upper occlusal teeth 61. The lower occlusal ring 8 has a plurality of lower occlusal teeth evenly distributed in a ring at its upper end. The lower occlusal ring 8 forms a lower tooth groove between every two adjacent lower occlusal teeth. When the upper occlusal ring 6 and the lower occlusal ring 8 are engaged, the upper occlusal teeth 61 are located in the lower tooth groove and the lower occlusal teeth are located in the upper tooth groove 62.
[0021] Each upper tooth groove 62 is fitted with an upper magnetic block 63, and each lower meshing tooth is fitted with a lower magnetic block. The lower magnetic block and the upper magnetic block 63 are magnetically attracted to each other. The magnetic properties of the lower magnetic block and the upper magnetic block 63 are relatively small. The purpose of setting them is to quickly align the upper meshing ring 6 and the lower meshing ring 8 when they are about to mesh, so as to avoid affecting the meshing of the two due to misalignment.
[0022] A machining head 9 is detachably and fixedly connected to the lower end of the lower rotating disk 7. The machining head 9 can be a drill bit, grinding head, etc. Different types of machining heads 9 need to be replaced according to the processing needs of the fan parts. Multiple sensing components 10 are evenly embedded in a ring around the machining head 9 at the lower end of the protective box 1. The sensing components 10 are one or more of the following: human body sensor, vision processing system, and material detection sensor. It should be noted that when the sensing component 10 is a human body sensor and the human body sensor adopts the infrared sensing principle, the overall temperature of the CNC machine tool should be kept away from 36-37℃, which may affect the human body sensing. When the sensing component 10 is a vision processing system, it can detect human skin, clothing, hair, etc. that are close to the machining head 9 and send signals in time. The sensing component 10 can also be a material detection sensor, which can detect materials including human skin material, clothing material, hair material, etc. Any two or all three can be used simultaneously. The sensing components 10 adopt the intelligent elements or systems in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0023] A brake ring 22 is concentrically fixed to the outer wall of the lower rotating disk 7. A lifting plate 11 is rotatably sleeved on the splined cylinder 4. A power component for lowering the lifting plate 11 and a first elastic guide component for raising the lifting plate 11 are provided between the lifting plate 11 and the protective box 1. The power component and the first elastic guide component complement each other, and their functions are to lower and raise respectively.
[0024] Specifically, the power assembly includes a permanent magnet ring 15 and an electromagnetic ring 16, which are respectively fixedly installed on the upper end of the lifting plate 11 and the top of the protective box 1. The permanent magnet ring 15 and the electromagnetic ring 16 are arranged to repel each other, and the lifting plate 11 is driven to move by magnetic repulsion. Other sensitive devices can also be used.
[0025] The first elastic guide assembly consists of two components, which are symmetrically distributed about the splined cylinder 4. Specifically, the elastic guide assembly includes a guide rod 12 fixedly connected to the top of the protective box 1. The lower end of the guide rod 12 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 13. A vertical spring 14 is sleeved on the guide rod 12, and the two ends of the vertical spring 14 are fixedly connected to the lifting plate 11 and the limiting plate 13, respectively. The guide rod 12 guides the lifting of the lifting plate 11, and the limiting plate 13 supports the vertical spring 14. The elastic force of the vertical spring 14 can reset each structural component.
[0026] Multiple driven rods 17 are uniformly and annularly fixed to the lower end of the lifting plate 11 around the central axis 3. Each driven rod 17 has an integrally formed driving block 18 at its lower end. The driving block 18 has an inclined driving surface 181, with the end of the driving surface 181 closest to the brake ring 22 being the lower end and the end furthest from the brake ring 22 being the upper end. (Refer to...) Figure 2 .
[0027] Multiple brake blocks 19 are evenly distributed in a ring at the bottom of the protective box 1, and the positions of the multiple brake blocks 19 correspond one-to-one with the positions of multiple active blocks 18. Each brake block 19 is composed of an upper block 191 and a sliding block 192 that are distributed vertically and integrally formed. The side of the brake block 19 near the brake ring 22 is provided with an arc-shaped brake surface 1911, which is more in line with the structural features of the brake ring 22. The other side of the upper block 191 opposite to the brake surface 1911 is provided with a passive surface 1912, and the passive surface 1912 slides and fits against the active surface 181. Power is transmitted through the passive surface 1912 and the active surface 181. The other side of the sliding block 192 opposite to the brake surface 1911 is provided with a vertical surface 1921. The sliding block 192 is connected to the inner wall of the protective box 1 by a second elastic guide component.
[0028] Specifically, the second elastic guide component includes a limiting rod 20 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective box 1. A sliding groove is provided in the vertical surface 1921 to slide in connection with the limiting rod 20. The cross-section of the limiting rod 20 is rectangular. Compared with a circular structure, the sliding block 192 slides more stably. A transverse spring 21 is provided on the outer sleeve of the limiting rod 20. The two ends of the transverse spring 21 are fixedly connected to the vertical surface 1921 and the inner wall of the protective box 1, respectively. The elastic force of the transverse spring 21 can reset the brake block 19.
[0029] It should be noted in advance that: 1. The elastic coefficient of the vertical spring 14 is much greater than that of the horizontal spring 21. Therefore, the lifting plate 11 and the driven rod 17 and the driving block 18 connected to it are more affected by the elastic force of the vertical spring 14 than by the elastic force of the horizontal spring 21; 2. The electromagnetic ring 16, the driving device 2, and the telescopic device 24 in this invention are all electrically connected to and controlled by the controller. The sensing component 10 is connected to the controller signal to send danger signals in a timely manner; Since this invention uses the magnetic field of the electromagnetic ring 16 and the permanent magnet ring 15 to cooperate, in order to avoid being affected by or interfering with the external magnetic field, the protective box 1 and the lifting plate 11 are made of magnetic shielding material.
[0030] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When the CNC machine tool is idle, the electromagnetic ring 16 in the power assembly is de-energized. Under the elastic support of the vertical spring 14, the splined cylinder 4 is in the upper position inside the protective box 1. The upper engagement ring 6 and the lower engagement ring 8 are separated. The brake block 19 is in the upper position of the active block 18. At this time, the transverse spring 20 is in the stretched state, the brake surface 1911 is in contact with the brake ring 22, and the machining head 9 is in the locked state.
[0031] When the CNC machine tool needs to process the fan parts, the electromagnetic ring 16 in the power component is energized. The electromagnetic ring 16 generates a magnetic repulsion force on the permanent magnet ring 15, which drives the lifting plate 11 and spline cylinder 4 to descend, compressing the vertical spring 14, so that the upper engagement ring 6 and the lower engagement ring 8 mesh. The driving block 18 descends relative to the brake block 19. The brake block 19 moves away from the lower rotating disk 7 under the reset of the transverse spring 21. The brake surface 1911 separates from the brake ring 22, and the processing head 9 is in a free state. The drive device 2 transmits torque to the processing head 9 in sequence through the spline-fitted central shaft 3 and spline cylinder 4, and the meshing upper engagement ring 6 and lower engagement ring 8 to perform the processing operation.
[0032] When the CNC machine tool is in operation, if the operator's body part gets close to the machining head 9, it will be sensed by the sensing component 10. The sensing component 10 will feed the signal back to the controller, which will simultaneously control the drive device 2 to stop and de-energize the electromagnetic ring 16. Under the elastic force of the vertical spring 14 and the horizontal spring 21, the other structural components will be reset to the state described in the first point. Even if the drive device 2 malfunctions and cannot stop, the drive device 2 will not be able to drive the machining head 9. After the upper engagement ring 6 and the lower engagement ring 8 separate, the brake surface 1911 contacts the brake ring 22, thereby increasing the frictional resistance of the lower rotating disk 7 which is still rotating under inertia, efficiently reducing the speed, and avoiding damage to the human body under inertia.
[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
