Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gantry machine tools, in particular to a double column for gantry machine tools. Background Art

[0002] Gantry CNC machine tools, also known as gantry machining centers, are milling machines with a portal frame and a horizontal long bed. Gantry CNC machine tools can use one or more milling cutters to process workpieces at the same time. Their machining accuracy and production efficiency are relatively high. They are suitable for processing the plane and inclined surfaces of large workpieces in batch and mass production, and can also process spatial curved surfaces and some specific parts. Gantry machining centers are generally equipped with tool magazines with automatic tool changing functions. After the workpiece is clamped, the CNC system can control the machine tool to select tools, replace tools, automatically set tools, automatically change the spindle speed and feed rate, etc. according to different processes, and can continuously complete drilling, boring, milling, tapping and other operations. The process has good economic benefits for processing parts with complex shapes, high precision requirements, and frequent variety changes. The column on the gantry machine tool is one of the main parts of the machining center and the main load-bearing part of the gantry frame structure of the gantry machining center. However, the column is mainly fixed on the machine bed by bolts, and a crossbeam is provided on the column. The crossbeam moves along the column guide rail, and the boring and milling head moves along the crossbeam guide rail. This will easily lead to excessive position deviation and fail to achieve machining accuracy, reducing the machining stability and machining accuracy of the gantry machine tool. For this reason, we proposed a double column for gantry machine tools. Utility Model Content

[0006] Optionally, the bottom end of the locking sleeve abuts against the inner bottom of the mounting groove, and a bolt insertion groove corresponding to the bolt is provided at the inner bottom of the mounting groove.

[0007] Optionally, the fixed base is internally movably connected with a limit plug-in plate, and the bottom end of the limit plug-in plate can extend out of the gantry column and be plugged into the machine tool bed.

[0009] Optionally, one end of the driving inclined plate is fixedly connected to a second spring, and one end of the second spring is fixed to a fixed base.

[0010] Optionally, a limiting column is fixed to the other end of the driving inclined plate, and one end of the limiting column passes through the gantry column, extends into the installation groove and is plugged into the locking sleeve.

[0011] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The gantry machine tool uses a double column. The gantry column adopts a herringbone shape and is supported by a M-shaped rib plate on the inner wall of the gantry column. This can effectively suppress the forward tilt of the machine tool and ensure the stability of the processing. In addition, with the support of its internal support frame, the gantry column is more stable, thereby making the processing more stable.

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 5 A double column for a gantry machine tool comprises a gantry column 1. The bottom of the outer side of the gantry column 1 is provided with a mounting groove 2 for mounting bolts. The gantry column 1 can be fixed to the machine bed by installing the bolts. The gantry column 1 is in a herringbone shape as a whole, which can effectively suppress the forward tilt of the machine tool and ensure the stability of processing. The inner wall of the gantry column 1 is fixedly connected with a rib plate 5 for supporting the gantry column 1. The rib plate 5 is in a cross-shaped shape, which makes the support of the gantry column 1 more stable, can effectively suppress the forward tilt of the machine tool and ensure the stability of processing. A support frame 6 is provided in the middle of the column 1, and the intersection of the support frame 6 and the rib plate 5 on the inner wall of the gantry column 1 is fixed. Under the supporting action of the support frame 6, the gantry column 1 as a whole is more stable, and a fixed base 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 6, and a locking sleeve 3 for limiting the bolt is movably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the mounting groove 2, and the locking sleeve 3 can be moved on a fixed trajectory on the gantry column 1, and the locking sleeve 3 can be plugged into the bolt to limit the bolt, which can effectively prevent the bolt from slipping.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 5 The top end of the locking sleeve 3 is fixedly connected with a first spring 8, and the top end of the first spring 8 is fixed to the gantry column 1. Under the push of the elastic force of the first spring 8, the locking sleeve 3 can stably limit the bolt.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 5 The bottom end of the locking sleeve 3 abuts against the inner bottom of the mounting groove 2, and a bolt insertion groove 9 corresponding to the bolt is opened at the inner bottom of the mounting groove 2. The bolt insertion groove 9 is inserted into the bolt, so that the first spring 8 can limit the bolt to prevent the bolt from rotating, thereby making the bolt more stably fixed.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 6The fixed base 7 is internally movably connected with a limit plug-in plate 11, and the limit plug-in plate 11 can be moved on a fixed track on the fixed base 7. The bottom end of the limit plug-in plate 11 can extend out of the gantry column 1 and be plugged into the machine tool bed. When the limit plug-in plate 11 is plugged into the machine tool bed, the gantry column 1 can be supported, which can effectively prevent the possible position deviation of the gantry column 1.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 6 An inclined slot is provided in the middle of the top of the limiting plug-in plate 11, and a driving inclined plate 10 is movably connected inside the fixed base 7. The driving inclined plate 10 corresponds to the slot, and the driving inclined plate 10 and the fixed base 7 can move relative to each other. Under the action of the inclined structure, the movement of the driving inclined plate 10 can push the limiting plug-in plate 11 to move.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 6 One end of the driving inclined plate 10 is fixedly connected to a second spring 12 , and one end of the second spring 12 is fixed to the fixed base 7 . Under the push of the elastic force of the second spring 12 , the driving inclined plate 10 can move.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 6 A limiting column 4 is fixed to the other end of the driving inclined plate 10. Driven by the driving inclined plate 10, the limiting column 4 can move.
