Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sheet metal processing, in particular to a structure for preventing flying materials on a sheet metal processing lathe. Background Art
[0002] Sheet metal processing lathes are one of the indispensable important devices in the modern metal processing industry. They are favored by users for their high precision, high efficiency, versatility and good stability. The design of the structure for preventing flying materials on a sheet metal processing lathe is an important measure to ensure that during the operation of the machine tool, metal waste and iron filings will not fly everywhere, thus protecting the safety of operators and the operating efficiency of the machine tool.
[0003] After retrieval, the publication number CN220296587U discloses a structure for preventing flying materials on a sheet metal processing lathe, including a device housing. On one side of the front end of the outer part of the device housing, there is an equipment front bending plate; there are two first anti-spray baffle plates arranged horizontally. On one side of each of the two first anti-spray baffle plates, there is a second anti-spray baffle plate. An activity cavity is arranged between the second anti-spray baffle plate and the first anti-spray baffle plate. At the upper end of one side inside the equipment front bending plate, there is a ventilation hole.
[0004] Existing structures for preventing flying materials often occupy a relatively large position on the machine tool, and are prone to interfering with the adjustment of the tool rest and tool tip during the processing process, restricting the flexibility and processing accuracy of the machine tool. For sheet metal parts that require high-precision processing, any slight interference may lead to a decline in product quality. When using a chuck to fix the workpiece for processing, the traditional structure for preventing flying materials often becomes an obstacle. Since these structures are often designed to be relatively large and bulky, they may hinder the normal operation of the chuck, increasing the difficulty and working intensity of the operator. This not only reduces the working efficiency, but may also cause unnecessary damage to the machine tool and the workpiece. Summary of the Invention

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be described clearly and completely. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0043] Referring to Figures 1-5 , a structure for preventing flying materials in a sheet metal processing lathe, comprising: a headstock 1; a receiving groove 4 opened on one side of the headstock 1; a protection mechanism 5 connected in the receiving groove 4 and configured to move in the receiving groove 4, and the protection mechanism 5 is used to prevent waste materials from splashing during the lathe processing; the protection mechanism 5 includes a moving plate 501 and a protective cover 502. Among them, the moving plate 501 is connected in the receiving groove 4, and the protective cover 502 is connected to one side of the moving plate 501. The protective cover 502 is arranged to rotate on the moving plate 501 for adjusting the protection position and coverage range of the protective cover 502. By providing a retractable protection mechanism 5, especially a rotatable and adjustable protective cover 502, it can flexibly respond to different processing requirements, effectively prevent waste materials generated during lathe processing from splashing. This not only protects the equipment and environment around the lathe, but also reduces the safety risks of operators, and does not occupy too much working space on the lathe, improving the safety of the overall production operation.
[0044] Referring to Figure 4 , the moving plate 501 includes: a moving groove 504 opened on one side of the moving plate 501, and the protective cover 502 is connected in the moving groove 504.
[0045] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5, the protective mechanism 5 further includes: a plurality of limiting grooves 505 formed on the protective cover 502; a limiting block 507 connected to the moving plate 501, the limiting block 507 being connected in the limiting groove 505 for fixing the position of the protective cover 502 in the moving groove 504. One end of the limiting block 507 is formed with an inclined surface for automatically sliding the limiting block 507 out of the limiting groove 505 when the protective cover 502 is moved by squeezing the inclined surface; a groove 506 formed on the side wall of the moving groove 504, the limiting block 507 being connected in the groove 506; an elastic member 508, one end of which is connected to the inner wall of the groove 506 and the other end is connected to the limiting block 507, the elastic member 508 being used to provide a restoring force for the limiting block 507 at the initial position; a power source 503 installed on the main spindle box 1, the power shaft of the power source 503 being connected to the moving plate 501 for providing moving power for the moving plate 501. The power source 503 uses a cylinder or can also use a linear motor. The elastic member 508 uses a stainless steel spring or can also use elastic rubber. The design of the limiting block 507 and the limiting groove 505, combined with the restoring force of the elastic member 508, enables the protective cover 502 to be firmly locked after adjusting the position, and at the same time, can achieve quick unlocking and automatic reset through the inclined surface design, simplifying the maintenance process of the protective mechanism 5, reducing the maintenance cost, and improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.
[0046] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a chuck 2 is installed on the main spindle box 1, and the protective cover 502 is arranged around the chuck 2; a tool rest 3 is arranged on one side of the main spindle box 1 for installing cutting tools; a sensor 6 is connected to the main spindle box 1 for measuring the distance between the tool rest 3 and the main spindle box 1. When the sensor 6 detects that the tool rest 3 is far away from the main spindle box 1, a signal can be transmitted to the lathe control system. The power source 503 drives the moving plate 501 and the protective cover 502 to move and hide in the moving groove 504. The sensor 6 uses a distance sensor 6 or can also use an infrared sensor 6. Combining the design of the sensor 6 and the power source 503 realizes the automatic opening and closing function of the protective cover 502. When the sensor 6 detects that the tool rest 3 is far away from the main spindle box 1 (i.e., in the non-processing state), it automatically triggers the power source 503 to drive the protective cover 502 to move into the storage groove 4 to hide, which not only reduces the space occupation but also avoids the extra obstruction during non-processing, significantly improving the work efficiency and operation convenience.
[0047] Refer to Figure 4, the projected shapes of the moving plate 501 and the moving groove 504 are both circular rings; the projected shape of the protective cover 502 is an arc. The moving plate 501 and the moving groove 504 are both designed in a circular ring shape, which fits well with the structure of the lathe headstock 1, making the protective mechanism 5 move more smoothly and steadily without affecting the normal operation of other components of the lathe. At the same time, the arc-shaped projected shape of the protective cover 502 not only increases the protection area but also facilitates angle adjustment according to processing requirements, showing high flexibility and adaptability.
[0048] During use, the protective mechanism 5 is in its initial position. The moving plate 501 is connected to the storage groove 4 on one side of the headstock 1. The protective cover 502 is connected to the moving plate 501 through the moving groove 504 and is in an adjustable initial position. The limiting block 507 is firmly stuck in the limiting groove 505 on the protective cover 502 under the action of the elastic member 508 to keep the protective cover 502 in a fixed position. The sensor 6 is installed on the headstock 1 to continuously monitor the distance between the tool rest 3 and the headstock 1. The operator adjusts the angle and position of the protective cover 502 manually or through the control system according to processing requirements to adapt to different processing scenarios. During the adjustment process, the limiting block 507 automatically slides out of the limiting groove 505 when being squeezed by the protective cover 502 due to its inclined surface design, allowing the protective cover 502 to rotate. After the adjustment is completed, the limiting block 507 is re-locked into the limiting groove 505 under the restoring force of the elastic member 508 to lock the position of the protective cover 502. The lathe starts processing, and the cutting tool is installed on the tool rest 3 to process the workpiece. The protective cover 502 surrounds the chuck 2, effectively preventing waste generated during processing from splashing, protecting the equipment and environment around the lathe, and reducing the safety risk of the operator. The sensor 6 continuously monitors the distance between the tool rest 3 and the headstock 1 to ensure safety monitoring during the processing. When the processing is completed and the tool rest 3 moves away from the headstock 1 to a certain distance, the sensor 6 detects this change and transmits the signal to the lathe control system. After receiving the signal, the lathe control system automatically triggers the power source 503 to work. The power shaft of the power source 503 drives the moving plate 501 to move in the storage groove 4, driving the protective cover 502 to move together until the protective cover 502 completely enters the moving groove 504 and hides. This process reduces the occupation of the working space of the lathe by the protective mechanism 5 and avoids additional obstacles during non-processing. Regularly check and maintain the protective mechanism 5, including checking the working states of the limiting block 507, the limiting groove 505, the elastic member 508, and the power source 503. If it is necessary to adjust the position or angle of the protective cover 502, the above adjustment process can be repeated to ensure that the protective mechanism 5 always maintains a good working state.
[0049] In summary, compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:
[0050] By integrating the protection mechanism 5 into the storage groove 4 on one side of the headstock 1 and enabling it to be automatically hidden in the storage groove 4 in the non-processing state, the space occupation is greatly reduced, avoiding the excessive occupation of the machine tool operation space by the traditional anti-flying material structure, making the adjustment of the turret 3 and the tool tip more flexible, without being interfered by the protection structure, and improving the overall flexibility and machining accuracy of the machine tool.
[0051] The protection mechanism 5 is designed to be compact and adjustable flexibly. It will not cause any slight interference to the sheet metal parts that require high-precision machining. During the machining process, the protective cover 502 can effectively prevent waste from splashing, protect the machine tool and the surrounding environment, and at the same time ensure the stability and accuracy of the machining process, guaranteeing the stability of the product quality.
[0052] By optimizing the design of the protection mechanism 5, it will not interfere with the normal operation of the chuck 2. The protective cover 502 adjusts flexibly around the chuck 2, not only providing the necessary protection function, but also ensuring the smoothness of the operation of the chuck 2.
