[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present utility model provides a machining center with a function of limiting a material box, which includes an outer cover 200 and a machining assembly 100 disposed inside the outer cover 200, and an inlet 201 is provided on the outer cover 200. The machining assembly 100 includes a base 10, a guide plate 20 mounted on the base 10, a fixing plate 30 slidably disposed on the guide plate 20, a first magnet group 80 installed on the fixing plate 30, a machining platform 40 fixedly mounted on the guide plate 20 and disposed behind the fixing plate 30, a second magnet group 90 installed on the machining platform 40, a material box 50 that can be freely disassembled and assembled on the fixing plate 30, a support frame 60 disposed on one side of the base 10, and a manipulator 70 mounted on the support frame 60 and disposed above the fixing plate 30. The material box 50 is used to carry products to be machined. The fixing plate 30 can be adjusted on the guide plate 20 so that the fixing plate 30 and the material box 50 installed on the fixing plate 30 move to the machining position or move outwards to the position of the inlet 201 of the outer cover 200. When the fixing plate 30 moves to the machining position, the first magnet group 80 and the second magnet group 90 are attracted to each other.

[0027] The manipulator 70 includes an X-axis driving device 71, a Y-axis driving device 72 connected to the X-axis driving device 71, a Z-axis driving device 73 connected to the Y-axis driving device 72, and a chuck 74 connected to the Z-axis driving device 73. The X-axis driving device 71, the Y-axis driving device 72 and the Z-axis driving device 73 respectively drive the chuck 74 to adjust its position in the X-axis direction, Y-axis direction and Z-axis direction, so as to enable the chuck 74 to transfer the workpiece to the machining platform 40.

[0028] The guiding plate 20 is integrally square-shaped, and the installation direction of the guiding plate 20 on the base 10 is opposite to the inlet 201 of the outer cover 200. Guiding grooves 21 are provided on both sides of the guiding plate 20, and the extending direction of the guiding grooves 21 is consistent with the main axis direction of the guiding plate 20.

[0029] A fitting groove 31 is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 30. Limiting blocks 32 are provided on the two side walls of the fitting groove 31 of the fixing plate 30. The top surface of the fixing plate 30 is a supporting surface. A handle 33 is provided on the front side surface of the fixing plate 30 at the front side position. The first magnet group 80 is installed on the rear side surface of the first fixing plate 30 at the rear side position. A number of groups of clamping posts 34 are convexly provided on the supporting surface of the fixing plate 30. Each group of clamping posts 34 is correspondingly installed in cooperation with a material box 50. Specifically, a number of positioning holes 51 are provided on each material box 50, and the distribution of the positioning holes 51 on the material box 50 corresponds one-to-one with a group of clamping posts 34 of the fixing plate 30.

[0030] The cross-section of the processing platform 40 is generally inverted U-shaped. An avoidance groove 41 is provided at the bottom of the processing platform 40, and the top surface of the processing platform 40 is flat. The second magnet group 90 is installed on the front side surface of the processing platform 40 at the front side position.

[0031] During assembly, the processing platform 40 is installed on the guiding plate 20 through a number of locking parts. The guiding plate 20 is inserted into the avoidance groove 41 of the processing platform 40. When the guiding plate 20 is installed in cooperation with the fixing plate 30, the guiding plate 20 is inserted into the fitting groove 31 of the fixing plate 30. The limiting blocks 32 on the fixing plate 30 are inserted into the guiding grooves 21 of the guiding plate 20. The fixing plate 30 can slide and adjust its position along the main axis direction of the guiding plate 20 on the guiding plate 20, and the magnets on the first magnet group 80 and the magnets on the second magnet group 90 are horizontally corresponding and aligned with each other.

[0032] During use, the product to be processed is placed in the designated groove of the material box 50, and then a plurality of material boxes 50 with the products to be processed are fixed on the fixing plate 30. When the material box 50 is installed on the fixing plate 30, the material box 50 is correspondingly installed in cooperation with a group of clamping posts 34, and the clamping posts 34 on the fixing plate 30 are clamped in the positioning holes 51 of the material box 50. Push the fixing plate 30 inward through the handle 33 on the fixing plate 30 until the rear side surface of the fixing plate 30 is flush with the front side surface of the processing platform 40. At this time, the fixing plate 30 and the material box 50 installed on the fixing plate 30 move to the processing position. The first magnet group 80 and the second magnet group 90 adsorb each other. Through the cooperation of the first magnet group 80 and the second magnet group 90, the fixing plate 30 and the material box 50 placed on the fixing plate 30 are effectively prevented from shifting, and the manipulator 70 transfers the product in the material box 50 to the processing platform 40 for processing.

[0033] Conversely, when it is necessary to take out the cartridge 50 placed on the fixed plate 30, pull the cartridge 50 outwards through the handle 33. The first magnet group 80 is separated from the second magnet group 90 until the cartridge 50 is transferred to a position close to the entrance 201 of the outer cover 200, and then take out the cartridge 50 upwards.

[0034] The beneficial effects of the machining center with a cartridge limiting function of the present utility model are as follows: By providing a fixed plate 30 slidably disposed on the guide plate 20, a first magnet group 80 is installed on the fixed plate 30, and a second magnet group 90 is installed on the machining platform 40. The fixed plate 30 can be adjusted on the guide plate 20 to move the fixed plate 30 and the cartridge 50 installed thereon to the machining position. When the fixed plate 30 moves to the machining position, the first magnet group 80 and the second magnet group 90 adsorb each other, effectively preventing the fixed plate 30 from shifting, and ensuring that the manipulator 70 can accurately and quickly clamp the product to be machined on the cartridge 50.

[0035] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0036] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
