Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of machine tool technology, and more specifically to a vertical turning and milling machining center with a modular tool magazine. Background Technology

[0002] A vertical turning-milling machining center with a modular tool magazine is a high-end CNC machine tool that integrates multiple metal cutting processes such as turning, milling, drilling, and boring. Its core feature is the modular tool magazine system, which allows for quick replacement or combination of different types of tool magazine units (such as chain, disc, or multi-spindle head modules) to flexibly adapt to diverse machining needs, from small precision parts to large complex components, thereby significantly improving the equipment's flexibility in adapting to multi-variety and variable-batch production modes while ensuring high machining accuracy and efficiency.

[0003] Existing vertical milling and turning machining centers with modular tool magazines cannot display information such as the cleaning status, service life, and damage condition of previously used tools during each tool change. This makes it impossible for operators to confirm in real time whether the tools have been thoroughly cleaned, leading to the inability to eliminate the potential hazards of residual chips or cutting fluid. Consequently, in subsequent machining, this can easily cause scratches on the workpiece surface, secondary contamination, or a decrease in machining accuracy. Furthermore, the lack of real-time monitoring of tool wear and damage prevents timely replacement or maintenance based on the damage situation, thus restricting the stability of machining quality and the safety of the production process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a vertical turning and milling machining center with a modular tool magazine, which can effectively solve the problem that the existing technology lacks real-time display and monitoring of tool cleanliness, service life and damage status during tool switching, which makes it impossible for operators to confirm whether the tool is thoroughly cleaned and makes it difficult to eliminate the hidden dangers of residual chips or cutting fluid.

[0025] The technical solution provided by this invention has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:

[0026] 1. The dispensing mechanism, comprising a partitioning component, a suction component, and a display component, creates multiple independent installation areas for the storage components. This allows for the cleaning, drying, and inspection of the finished cutting tools, while simultaneously recording the usage time and status of various tools. The partitioning component divides the space into different areas to accommodate different types of tools. The suction component pours and draws cleaning fluid into the storage components, cleaning the tools within. The display component records the usage time and status of each tool for easy assessment. The continuous pouring and suction of cleaning fluid effectively achieves deep cleaning and drying of the tools, eliminating the risk of residual chips. Real-time recording and display of tool usage time and health status ensures operators can accurately monitor tool cleanliness and lifespan, enabling refined tool management and preventative maintenance, significantly improving processing quality stability and production efficiency.

[0027] 2. The system utilizes a storage component, a release component, an agitator, and a differential pressure filter to achieve cleaning, drying, and damage detection of tools after use. The storage component holds the used tools and the cleaning fluid transferred by the suction component. The agitator stirs the cleaning fluid, enhancing its cleaning effect on the tools. The differential pressure filter detects the pressure of the cleaning fluid drawn from the storage component by the suction component to determine the current damage condition of the tools. During the drying process, the release component, in conjunction with a hydraulic mechanism, removes water vapor. By monitoring pressure changes during the return flow of the cleaning fluid, non-contact, precise detection of tool damage is achieved. Furthermore, the release component, working with the hydraulic mechanism, effectively removes water vapor during the drying stage, preventing secondary corrosion or contamination. This system integrates efficient cleaning, damage self-inspection, and drying protection functions within a compact space, significantly improving the automation level and accuracy of tool maintenance.

[0028] 3. The system uses a hydraulic mechanism to filter and draw in outside air, then passes the filtered air through a protective fluid to the tools in the drying storage assembly. This process removes the water vapor generated by the cleaning fluid during tool drying and protects the tools. The efficient airflow removes the water vapor generated during drying, achieving rapid drying. Furthermore, the protective fluid particles in the air adhere evenly to the tool surface, forming a dense anti-rust protective film. This effectively prevents the tools from rusting due to moisture, significantly improving the cleanliness and preservation quality of the tools. Attached Figure Description

[0077] Outside air is drawn in by the filter fan 53 and released into the protective liquid through the porous tube 54, so that the air passes through the protective liquid. The air that passes through the protective liquid becomes a protective gas because it contains the protective liquid. At the same time, the protective gas is charged by the metal mesh 55 of the electrostatic device 52, which enhances the adsorption of the protective liquid. The protective gas is then transported to the storage box 411 in the storage component 41 of the drying storage mechanism 4 through the diversion valve 56, the corresponding control valve 58, and the interconnection pipe 424.

[0078] The specific operating principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0079] Step 1: First, the staff inputs the order and parameters of various types of cutting tools 100, such as turning tools, milling tools, and drilling tools, that need to be used in the working process through the controller on the side of the base 1. Since the controller is associated with each type of cutting tool 100 and the electronic tag 13, it can obtain the storage location of each type of cutting tool 100.

[0080] As the staff confirms the work process, the electronic tag 13 corresponding to the first tool 100 sends a corresponding signal, causing the horizontal mover 21 of the moving mechanism 2 to slide smoothly along the slide rail 12. The lateral mover 22 drives the vertical mover 23 to make lateral adjustments. The vertical mover 23 drives the mounting block 24 and the driver 25 to move vertically up and down to move directly above the target storage mechanism 4. At this time, the scanner 27 scans the QR code on the ink screen 383 in the display component 38 to verify the type, model and historical usage record of the tool 100. After confirming that there are no errors, the magnetic card block 26 is powered on to generate magnetic force and magnetically attracts and fixes the tool 100. Then, the output shaft of the driver 25 rotates forward, causing the tool 100 to spiral out of the threaded hole 422 of the release component 42. At this time, the indicator light 382 corresponding to the storage mechanism 4 lights up red, indicating that the tool 100 is in the retrieval state.

[0081] Then, the driver 25, carrying the first cutting tool 100, adjusts to the preset machining position of the workpiece (the workpiece has been placed on the worktable 11 in advance) under the coordinated action of the horizontal mover 21, the transverse mover 22, and the longitudinal mover 23. The controller controls the driver 25 to drive the cutting tool 100 to rotate at high speed, completing the machining process corresponding to the current cutting tool 100 (e.g., if the current cutting tool 100 is a drilling tool, the controller will adjust the output power and speed of the driver 25 according to the preset machining parameters, drive the drilling tool 100 to rotate at high speed, and at the same time, the horizontal mover 21, the transverse mover 22, and the longitudinal mover 23 of the linkage mechanism 2 work together to drive the rotating drilling tool 100 to feed vertically along the preset hole position of the workpiece on the worktable 11. Through the cutting and chip removal action of the cutting edge of the cutting tool 100, the machining process of precise drilling is completed on the workpiece). During the machining process, the operator can observe the machining progress, the running status of the cutting tool 100, and the machining accuracy of the workpiece in real time through the monitoring interface of the controller.

[0082] Special Note: 1. The QR code on the e-ink screen 383 is generated and dynamically updated by the controller based on the real-time status of the blade 100 in the corresponding storage mechanism 4. It covers key information such as the type, model, number of uses, cumulative usage time, cleaning compliance status, damage status, and drying and protection progress of the blade 100. Its working process runs through the entire life cycle of the blade 100: During the blade 100 selection stage, the scanner 27 of the moving mechanism 2 scans the QR code and transmits the data to the controller for signal verification with the electronic tag 13 to ensure accurate blade 100 grabbing; During the blade 100 cleaning, inspection, and drying stages, the QR code will synchronously update the completion status and inspection data of the corresponding process.

[0083] 2. Each electronic tag 13 corresponds one-to-one with a storage mechanism 4, and each storage mechanism 4 contains a different type of tool 100. The working process runs through the entire tool selection and switching process: After the operator inputs the processing task through the controller, the controller will activate the electronic tag 13 of the corresponding type of tool 100, causing it to emit a unique signal; after the scanner 27 of the moving mechanism 2 receives the signal, it will cooperate with the scanning of the QR code on the e-ink screen 383 to verify the information, and guide the horizontal mover 21, the lateral mover 22, and the vertical mover 23 to work together, driving the driver 25 to move precisely to the target storage mechanism 4 to grab the tool 100; when it is necessary to switch tools 100, the controller will turn off the signal of the electronic tag 13 corresponding to the current tool 100, and at the same time activate the electronic tag 13 corresponding to the next target tool 100, repeating the above positioning and guidance process to ensure the rapid switching of different types of tools 100.

[0084] When the first process is completed and tool 100 needs to be switched, the operator clicks the "Switch Tool" button on the controller. The driver 25 stops working, thus stopping the rotation of the currently used tool 100. Then, the moving mechanism 2 drives the used tool 100 back to its corresponding storage mechanism 4 along the original path. The output shaft of the driver 25 reverses, causing the tool 100 to be screwed back into the threaded hole 422 and locked tightly. The magnetic card block 26 is de-energized and releases its magnetic adsorption. At the same time, the controller automatically activates the electronic tag 13 corresponding to the next target tool 100, causing it to send a signal. At this time, the moving mechanism 2 starts again and repeats the "first tool pick-up" action according to the signal of the electronic tag 13 corresponding to the target tool 100. The horizontal mover 21, the transverse mover 22, and the longitudinal mover 23 adjust their positions in coordination. The scanner 27 scans the QR code 383 on the ink screen of the new target storage mechanism 4 to confirm the information. The magnetic card block 26 adsorbs the new tool 100 and unscrews it. Then, it moves to the worktable 11 to complete the processing process corresponding to the current tool 100.

[0085] Step 2: After the cutter 100 has been returned to the corresponding storage mechanism 4, the controller will execute a cleaning process for the cutter 100. At this time, the pump body 331 of the suction assembly 33 rotates forward, and the electrically controlled three-way valve 334 switches to the state where the suction pipe 336 is connected to the input pipe 333. This allows the cleaning fluid stored in the liquid area to flow continuously into the storage box 411 and the top frame 413 of the storage assembly 41 under the suction of the pump body 331, through the suction pipe 336, the output pipe 332, the electrically controlled three-way valve 334, and the input pipe 333, until one of them is detected. When the device 425 detects liquid (dedicated to cleanliness and liquid detection), it indicates that the tool 100 is completely submerged. At the same time, the vibrating bar 32 is energized to generate high-frequency vibration. The vibration is transmitted to the cleaning fluid through the vibration transmission plate 412. The agitator 44 in the storage tank 411 starts to rotate, causing the cleaning fluid to form turbulence. Under the dual effects of immersion, vibration resonance and turbulent agitation, the chips and cutting fluid residues attached to the surface of the tool 100 are completely removed. The operator confirms that the cleaning is in progress by keeping the indicator light 382 corresponding to the storage mechanism 4 red.

[0086] In this process, the detector 425 (dedicated to cleanliness and liquid detection) has a built-in optical sensing module. During the cleaning process of the tool 100, it continuously emits a detection beam to scan key parts such as the cutting edge and body of the tool 100. If there are chips or cutting fluid residues on the surface of the tool 100, they will reflect or scatter the detection beam. The detector 425 converts the light signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the controller, displaying "cleaning not up to standard". With the vibration transmission of the vibrating bar 32 and the turbulent stirring of the agitator 44, the cleaning fluid continues to remove impurities. When there are no obvious residues on the surface of the tool 100, the detection beam does not reflect abnormally, and the electrical signal value is stable within the preset qualified range. After receiving the "cleaning up to standard" signal, the controller displays a prompt on the interface. When the staff sees this prompt, they can determine that the cleaning is complete and then click the "recover cleaning fluid" button to trigger the pump 331 to reverse.

[0087] At this time, the electrically controlled three-way valve 334 switches to the state where the connecting pipe 335 is connected to the input pipe 333. The cleaning fluid containing impurities in the storage tank 411 is transported to the nozzle plate 37 through the input pipe 333, the electrically controlled three-way valve 334, and the connecting pipe 335. It is then sprayed evenly into the liquid area through the spray hole. During the falling process, the cleaning fluid first passes through the coarse filter screen 34 to filter out large particles of chips and sticky impurities, and then flows through the electromagnetic rod 35. The electromagnetic rod 35 is energized to generate a strong magnetic field, which adsorbs the metal debris. Finally, it passes through the fine filter screen 36 to filter out small impurities. The purified cleaning fluid is stored at the bottom of the liquid area for recycling.

[0088] Special Note: 1. Staff need to periodically open the inlet valve 316 to replenish the cleaning fluid, and remove the coarse filter screen 34, fine filter screen 36 and electromagnetic rod 35 to clean the attached impurities and then reconnect and reset them to ensure the cleanliness of the circulating cleaning fluid.

[0089] 2. The two detectors 425 have different functions: one is a dedicated detector 425 for detecting cleanliness and cleaning fluid content, and the other is a dedicated detector 425 for detecting structural integrity and dryness. They are installed alternately with the electrically controlled release valve 423 and the interconnecting pipe 424 on the side of the sealing plate 421 facing the top frame 413, and are both electrically connected to the controller. The dedicated detector 425 for detecting cleanliness and cleaning fluid content has a built-in optical sensing module and a liquid level sensing module. During the cleaning fluid injection stage, the liquid level sensing module monitors the cleaning fluid level in the storage tank 411 and the top frame 413 in real time. When it detects that the cleaning fluid has completely submerged the blade 100 and reached the preset liquid level, it sends a signal to the controller, triggering the vibration bar 32 and the agitator 44 to start; after cleaning... During the process, the optical sensing module continuously emits detection beams to scan key parts of the tool 100, such as the cutting edge and body. It judges whether there are residual chips or cutting fluid on the surface by the reflection or scattering of light signals. The light signals are converted into electrical signals and transmitted to the controller. When the electrical signal value is stable within the preset qualified range, it feeds back "cleaning meets the standard". The dedicated detector 425 for structural integrity and dryness detection, in conjunction with the pressure sensor of the differential pressure filter 45, detects whether there is structural damage to the tool 100 during the cleaning fluid recovery stage. During the drying stage, it monitors the degree of dryness by sensing the surface humidity of the tool 100 and transmits the detection data to the controller in real time. The data is then displayed on the e-ink screen 383, providing the staff with a comprehensive basis for judging the status of the tool 100 and the level of the cleaning fluid.

[0090] Step 3: During the cleaning fluid recovery process, the pressure sensor on the differential pressure filter 45 in the storage tank 411 monitors the pressure value of the cleaning fluid in real time. Another detector 425 (detects the structural integrity and dryness of the cutter 100) transmits all detection data to the controller in real time and displays it synchronously on the QR code on the e-ink screen 383. The staff can check through the controller interface: If the pressure value is within the normal range and the detector 425 reports that the cleaning is up to standard and there is no structural damage, the indicator light 382 remains red; if the pressure value rises abnormally (indicating that the cutter 100 is damaged and a large amount of debris has fallen and blocked the filter) or the detector 425 reports that the cleaning is not up to standard and there is damage, the indicator light 382 immediately turns yellow. The staff must stop the machine in time, take out the damaged or uncleaned cutter 100, and repair, grind or replace it.

[0091] After confirming that the cutting tool 100 has passed inspection (the cleaning fluid has been returned to the liquid area), the dryer 43 on the inner wall of the top frame 413 is energized to generate heat, drying the cutting tool 100. Simultaneously, the hydraulic mechanism 5 is activated, and the filter fan 53 draws in outside air. The air is dispersed into fine bubbles through the porous tube 54 and introduced into the protective fluid in the hydraulic tank 51, forming a protective gas containing protective fluid particles. The electrostatic device 52 is energized, charging the metal mesh 55 and enhancing the adsorption of protective fluid particles, increasing the concentration of protective fluid in the protective gas. The protective gas then passes through the diversion valve 5. 6. The three-way pipe 57, the control valve 58 corresponding to the target storage mechanism 4, and the interconnecting pipe 424 continuously supply water to the storage box 411 and the top frame 413. The electrically controlled release valve 423 opens simultaneously to form a flowing airflow, which quickly removes the water vapor generated during the drying of the tool 100. When the detector 425 (which detects the structural integrity and drying status of the tool 100) detects that the tool 100 has completed drying, the indicator light 382 changes from red to green, confirming that the drying protection is complete. At the same time, a dense lubricating protective film is formed on the surface of the tool 100, which can be used for the next processing.

[0092] Special Note: After the hydraulic mechanism 5 is started, the electrostatic device 52 is energized, causing the metal mesh 55 to become charged, which enhances the adsorption of protective liquid particles in the hydraulic tank 51, forming a protective gas with a high concentration of protective liquid particles. The protective gas is distributed by the diversion valve 56 and split by the three-way pipe 57, and then transported to the storage box 411 and the top frame 413 through the control valve 58 and the interconnecting pipe 424 of the corresponding target storage mechanism 4. At the same time, the electrically controlled release valve 423 is opened to form a flowing airflow, allowing the protective gas to evenly coat the surface of the dried tool 100. The residual heat of the tool 100 after drying accelerates the adsorption of protective liquid particles, and then condenses through surface tension, finally forming a dense lubricating protective film. This film can effectively isolate air and moisture, prevent the tool 100 from rusting and oxidizing, and its lubricating properties can also reduce the amount of cutting fluid used in subsequent processing and extend the service life of the tool 100.

[0093] If the processing task requires the use of more types of cutting tools 100, the staff repeats the complete process of "tool switching trigger and used tool recycling → new tool grabbing and subsequent processing → used tool cleaning → cleaning fluid recycling and filtration → tool inspection → tool drying and protection" until all processing steps are completed.
