By performing milling operations on multiple parts of the automobile parts simultaneously, the processing speed can be improved. Some three-head milling machines include a multi-axis milling machine body. Milling cutters are installed on the upper side, left side, and right side of the multi-axis milling machine body. The milling cutters are all controlled by drive motors. A control console is arranged on one side of the multi-axis milling machine body. The multi-axis milling machine body is equipped with a bottom row frame. A bracket is arranged on the top of the bottom row frame. A workpiece clamping mechanism is arranged at the top of the bracket. The clamping workpiece consists of a bidirectional lead screw, two clamping plates, and a handwheel.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4, this embodiment provides a technical solution: a three-head milling machine for machining automotive parts, including a milling machine base 1 and a self-fixed rotation mechanism 4;

[0022] Milling machine base 1: A longitudinal movement base 3 is slidably connected in the chute opened on its upper side. A PLC controller 2 is provided at the rear end of the right side of the milling machine base 1. The input end of the PLC controller 2 is electrically connected to an external power supply.

The output shaft of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the front end of the stud 5. Symmetrically distributed linear motors 7 are provided at both the left and right ends of the upper side of the milling machine base 1. A transverse movement base 8 is provided between the moving ends of two longitudinally adjacent linear motors 7. A connecting seat 9 is provided on the upper side of each transverse movement base 8. A motor 10 is provided on the side of each connecting seat 9 away from the center of the milling machine base 1. The input ends of the motor 10 and the linear motor 7 are both electrically connected to the output end of the PLC controller 2. The output shafts of the motor 10 are respectively provided with a milling cutter 11 through a rotating shaft 2. A top seat 13 is provided at the rear end of the milling machine base 1 through the telescopic end of the electro-hydraulic push rod 12. A motor 14 is provided on the upper side of the top seat 13. The input ends of the motor 14 and the electro-hydraulic push rod 12 are both electrically connected to the output end of the PLC controller 2. The output shaft of the motor 14 is provided with a milling cutter 15 through a rotating shaft 3. The PLC controller 2 starts the motor 10 so that its output shaft drives the corresponding milling cutter 11 to rotate through the rotating shaft 2, thereby performing milling machining on the left and right sides of the automotive parts. The PLC controller 2 starts the motor 14 so that its output shaft drives the milling cutter 15 to rotate through the rotating shaft 3, thereby performing milling machining on the upper side of the automotive parts. The PLC controller 2 controls the linear motor 7 to horizontally adjust the position of the milling cutter 11 itself. The PLC controller 2 controls the telescopic end of the electro-hydraulic push rod 12 to vertically adjust the position of the milling cutter 15. The PLC controller 2 starts the motor 6 so that its output shaft drives the stud 5 to rotate through forward and reverse rotation. The stud 5 is threadedly connected to the longitudinal movement base 3 to longitudinally move the fixed automotive parts, thereby longitudinally adjusting the position of the milling machining of the automotive parts;

[0023] Self-fixing rotation mechanism 4: It includes an electric rotating table 41, a first rotating shaft 42, a placement seat 44, a first electro-hydraulic push rod 45, a pressing plate 46 and a laser rangefinder 47. The electric rotating table 41 is arranged on the upper side of the longitudinal moving seat 3. The rotating end of the electric rotating table 41 is provided with a placement seat 44 through the first rotating shaft 42. Uniformly distributed first electro-hydraulic push rods 45 are arranged on the outer side of the placement seat 44. Pressing plates 46 are arranged at the telescopic ends of the first electro-hydraulic push rods 45. Laser rangefinders 47 are arranged on the sides of the pressing plates 46 close to the center of the placement seat 44. The self-fixing rotation mechanism 4 further includes an angle sensor 43. The angle sensor 43 is arranged on the upper side of the electric rotating table 41. The angle sensor 43 is bidirectionally electrically connected to the PLC controller 2. The detection axis of the angle sensor 43 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 42. The self-fixing rotation mechanism 4 further includes a rotating ball 48. The rotating balls 48 are all rotatably connected in the semi-circular grooves opened on the sides of the two horizontally aligned pressing plates 46 close to the center of the placement seat 44. When milling the automotive parts, first place the automotive parts inside the placement seat 44. Subsequently, the PLC controller 2 controls the two first electro-hydraulic push rods 45 in the horizontal direction so that their telescopic ends drive the corresponding pressing plates 46 to move closer to the center of the placement seat 44, thereby clamping the left and right sides of the lower edge of the automotive parts. During this process, the PLC controller 2 starts the laser rangefinder 47. The laser rangefinder 47 emits a light signal that irradiates the side of the automotive parts and is reflected back to the initial position. By the propagation time and speed of the light signal, the distance between the two left and right pressing plates 46 and the corresponding sides of the automotive parts is judged, and the measurement result is transmitted to the PLC controller 2 in the form of an electrical signal. When the distances between the horizontal pressing plates 46 and the automotive parts obtained by the PLC controller 2 all tend to zero, the PLC controller 2 closes the corresponding first electro-hydraulic push rods 45, thereby automatically fixing the lower edge of the automotive parts for horizontal milling through the two horizontally aligned pressing plates 46. Subsequently, the PLC controller 2 controls the two first electro-hydraulic push rods 45 in the vertical direction and combines with the corresponding laser rangefinders 47 through the same principle, thereby automatically fixing the lower edge of the automotive parts for vertical milling. During the longitudinal movement of the automotive parts along the bottom wall of the placement seat 44, the automotive parts come into contact with the rotating balls 48 on the horizontally distributed pressing plates 46. The rotating balls 48 adaptively rotate around the corresponding semi-circular grooves, thereby reducing the sliding wear between the automotive parts and the horizontally distributed pressing plates 46. During the milling process of the automotive parts, the PLC controller 2 controls the electric rotating table 41 so that its rotating end drives the fixed automotive parts to rotate horizontally through the first rotating shaft 42, thereby adjusting the milling surface of the automotive parts according to requirements. During this process, the PLC controller 2 starts the angle sensor 43. The angle sensor 43 adopts a high-performance integrated magnetic sensitive element. By using the non-contact characteristic of magnetic signal induction, the rotation angle of the detection axis along with the first rotating shaft 42 is measured, and the measurement result is transmitted to the PLC controller 2 in the form of an electrical signal. The PLC controller 2 controls the electric rotating table 41 through the measurement result.Thus, precise horizontal rotation adjustment is carried out on the milling surface of automotive parts. The PLC controller 2 controls the electric rotary table 41 so that its rotation is correct and the forward and reverse rotations do not exceed 360 degrees, thus avoiding the phenomenon of wire winding. This device can automatically center and clamp automotive parts through control elements and detection elements, without manual fixing, with a high degree of automation. Moreover, the device can automatically perform horizontal transformation on the milling surface of automotive parts according to usage requirements, and the operation is convenient.

[0024] The working principle of a three-head milling machine for machining automotive parts provided by the utility model is as follows: When machining automotive parts on the milling machine, first place the automotive parts inside the placement seat 44. Subsequently, the PLC controller 2 controls the two electro-hydraulic push rods 45 in the horizontal direction, and their telescopic ends drive the corresponding pressure plates 46 to move towards the center of the placement seat 44, thereby clamping the left and right sides of the lower edge of the automotive parts. During this process, the PLC controller 2 activates the laser rangefinder 47. The laser rangefinder 47 emits a light signal that irradiates the side of the automotive parts and is reflected back to the initial position. By the propagation time and speed of the light signal, the distance between the left and right pressure plates 46 and the corresponding sides of the automotive parts is judged, and the measurement result is transmitted to the PLC controller 2 in the form of an electrical signal. When the distances between the horizontal pressure plates 46 and the automotive parts obtained by the PLC controller 2 all tend to zero, the PLC controller 2 turns off the corresponding electro-hydraulic push rods 45, thereby automatically fixing the lower edge of the automotive parts for horizontal milling machining through the two horizontally aligned pressure plates 46. Subsequently, the PLC controller 2 controls the two electro-hydraulic push rods 45 in the vertical direction and combines them with the corresponding laser rangefinders 47 according to the same principle, thereby automatically fixing the lower edge of the automotive parts for vertical milling machining. During the longitudinal movement of the automotive parts along the bottom wall of the placement seat 44, the automotive parts come into contact with the rotating balls 48 on the horizontally distributed pressure plates 46, and the rotating balls 48 adaptively rotate around the corresponding semi-circular grooves, thereby reducing the sliding wear between the automotive parts and the horizontally distributed pressure plates 46. Subsequently, the PLC controller 2 activates the motor 10, and its output shaft drives the corresponding milling cutter 11 to rotate through the rotating shaft 2, thereby machining the left and right sides of the automotive parts on the milling machine. The PLC controller 2 activates the motor 14, and its output shaft drives the milling cutter 15 to rotate through the rotating shaft 3, thereby machining the upper side of the automotive parts on the milling machine. The PLC controller 2 controls the linear motor 7 to horizontally adjust the position of the milling cutter 11 itself. The PLC controller 2 controls the telescopic end of the electro-hydraulic push rod 12 to vertically adjust the position of the milling cutter 15. The PLC controller 2 activates the motor 6, and its output shaft drives the screw rod 5 to rotate through forward and reverse rotation. The screw rod 5 is threadedly connected with the longitudinal movement seat 3, thereby longitudinally moving the fixed automotive parts, thereby longitudinally adjusting the position of the milling machining of the automotive parts. During the milling machining of the automotive parts, the PLC controller 2 controls the electric rotating table 41, and its rotating end drives the fixed automotive parts to rotate horizontally through the rotating shaft 1, thereby changing and adjusting the milling machining surface of the automotive parts according to requirements. During this process, the PLC controller 2 activates the angle sensor 43. The angle sensor 43 adopts a high-performance integrated magnetic sensitive element, and uses the non-contact characteristic of magnetic signal induction to measure the rotation angle of the detection shaft along with the rotating shaft 1, and transmits the measurement result to the PLC controller 2 in the form of an electrical signal. The PLC controller 2 controls the electric rotating table 41 through the measurement result.Thus, precise horizontal rotation adjustment is performed on the milling surface of automotive parts. The PLC controller 2 controls the electric rotary table 41 so that its rotation is correct and the forward and reverse rotations do not exceed 360 degrees, thus avoiding the phenomenon of wire winding.

[0025] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, the PLC controller 2 disclosed can adopt 6ES7274-1XK30-0XA0, the electric rotary table 41 can adopt the 01RSB01H hollow electric rotary table, the angle sensor 43 can adopt the HSM22M multi-turn non-contact magnetic potentiometer, the electro-hydraulic push rod 45 can adopt the DYZW integral straight type micro electro-hydraulic push rod, the laser rangefinder 47 can adopt the WH-LRF laser rangefinder, the linear motor 7 can adopt the GD magnetic axis micro linear motor, the electro-hydraulic push rod 12 can adopt the DYTZ-1000, both the motor 6 and the motor 10 can adopt the Y80M1-2, the motor 14 can adopt the Y90S-2, and the PLC controller 2 controls the electric rotary table 41, the angle sensor 43, the electro-hydraulic push rod 45, the laser rangefinder 47, the motor 6, the linear motor 7, the motor 10, the electro-hydraulic push rod 12 and the motor 14 to work by using the commonly used methods in the prior art.

[0026] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention, and thus do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
