Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an automatic milling head change magazine for a gantry machining center, belonging to the technical field of milling head change magazines. Background Art

[0002] CNC gantry machine tools are milling machines with a portal frame and a horizontal long bed. Multiple milling cutters can be used to process surfaces simultaneously on CNC gantry machine tools. The processing accuracy and production efficiency are relatively high. They are suitable for processing flat and inclined surfaces of large workpieces in batch and mass production. CNC gantry machine tools are of three types: movable table type, movable gantry type, and movable crossbeam type. The movable table gantry machine tool makes the installation of workpieces more convenient.

[0003] The existing automatic head changing head warehouse needs to be fixed on the machine tool. Due to the limitation of machine tool space, it can only realize the automatic head changing action. The number of head warehouses is fixed and it is impossible to increase the head warehouse according to actual production needs. Moreover, since multiple head changing actions at multiple stations need to rely on manual operation, not only the positioning accuracy of head changing is low, but also it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which directly affects the efficiency of head changing.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a gantry machining center automatic milling head change head library with high positioning accuracy is the research purpose of the utility model. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned technology, the utility model provides a head magazine for automatic milling head changing of a gantry machining center, which pushes the head magazine to the head changing position by an oil cylinder and performs precise positioning by a proximity switch; at the same time, the dust cover is pushed to the head changing position by another set of oil cylinders and proximity switches. When the head does not need to be changed, the spindle clamps the dust cover to prevent dust or waste chips from contaminating the contact surface between the spindle and the head magazine, thereby preventing dust or waste chips from affecting the head changing accuracy.

[0006] In order to solve the existing technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0007] A head magazine for automatically changing milling heads in a gantry machining center, characterized in that it includes a machine tool body, a head magazine and a dust cover, a mounting plate is fixedly provided on one side of the machine tool body, a slide rail is fixedly provided on the mounting plate, proximity switches are provided at both ends of the slide rail, the head magazine and the dust cover are mounted on the slide rail through a slider, the head magazine is arranged below the dust cover, the back of the head magazine is connected to a first oil cylinder for driving its movement, and the back of the dust cover is connected to a second oil cylinder for driving its movement.

[0008] Furthermore, the proximity switches are arranged in two groups, one group is arranged on both sides of the head warehouse, and the other group is arranged on both sides of the dust cover.

[0009] Furthermore, positioning pins are provided at the four top corners of the head storage and the dust cover.

[0010] Furthermore, the machine tool body and the mounting plate are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: 1. The head library is pushed to the head changing position by the oil cylinder and accurately positioned by the proximity switch, which can not only improve the head changing efficiency but also ensure the head changing accuracy; 2. At the same time, the dust cover is pushed to the head changing position by another set of oil cylinders and proximity switches. When the head does not need to be changed, the spindle clamps the dust cover to prevent dust or waste chips from contaminating the contact surface between the spindle and the head library, thereby preventing dust or waste chips from affecting the head changing accuracy.
