Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of gantry machining, and more specifically, it relates to a gantry side head structure. Background Art
[0002] Currently, machining centers are generally divided into vertical machining centers and horizontal machining centers. Gantry machining centers can generally only machine the top surface of workpieces, while horizontal machining centers generally machine the side surfaces of workpieces.
[0003] In existing horizontal machining centers, a slide mechanism and a head mechanism are generally installed inside the column to achieve the effect of machining the side surface of the workpiece.
[0004] However, such a design results in a decrease in the overall load-bearing performance of the column, making it generally impossible to normally install a crossbeam at the top of the column at this time, resulting in the inability to conveniently combine existing vertical machining centers and horizontal machining centers.
[0005] Therefore, a new solution is needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Utility Model
[0006] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a gantry side head structure to solve the above problems.
[0007] The present utility model achieves the above purpose through the following technical solutions: A gantry side head structure includes a column, a guide rail is arranged in front of the column, a slide mechanism that moves along the height direction of the column is connected to the guide rail, and a head mechanism is slidably connected to the slide mechanism.
[0008] The present utility model is further arranged as: A groove for placing the slide mechanism is arranged at the connection between the column and the slide mechanism, and the groove is located between two guide rails.
[0009] The present utility model is further arranged as: The column is arranged in an L-shaped structure, and the short side of the L-shaped structure is used to connect to the base of the gantry.
[0010] The present utility model is further arranged as: The column is arranged in a hollow structure, and a plurality of rib strips are arranged on the inner wall of the column, and the plurality of rib strips form a cross structure.
[0011] The present utility model is further arranged as: It further includes a tool magazine seat, the tool magazine seat is fixedly arranged in front of the column, and a disc-type ATC tool magazine is fixedly arranged on the tool magazine seat.
[0012] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are:
[0013] By arranging the carriage mechanism directly in front of the column, the normal load-bearing effect of the column itself is ensured. The headstock mechanism is slidably connected to the carriage mechanism, enabling the carriage mechanism and the headstock mechanism to be arranged outside the column, ensuring the normal load-bearing of the column, and thus better integrating the vertical machining center and the horizontal machining center.

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts based on the embodiments of the present invention belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] Embodiment:
[0019] A gantry side head structure, as Figure 1 - Figure 2 shown, includes a column 1. A guide rail 2 is arranged directly in front of the column 1. A carriage mechanism 3 that moves along the height direction of the column 1 is connected to the guide rail 2. By arranging the carriage mechanism 3 directly in front of the column 1, the normal load-bearing effect of the column 1 itself is ensured. The headstock mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the carriage mechanism 3, enabling the carriage mechanism 3 and the headstock mechanism 4 to be arranged outside the column 1, ensuring the normal load-bearing of the column 1, and thus better integrating the vertical machining center and the horizontal machining center.
[0020] A groove 5 for placing the carriage mechanism 3 is arranged at the connection between the column 1 and the carriage mechanism 3. By using the groove 5, the center of gravity moves backward after the column 1 and the carriage mechanism 3 are connected, avoiding the problem of forward tilt and ensuring the overall stability.
[0021] The column 1 is arranged in an L-shaped structure, and the short side of the L-shaped structure is used to connect with the base of the gantry. By means of the L-shaped structure, the contact area between the column 1 and the supporting surface is increased, and the structural stability is improved.
[0022] The column 1 is arranged in a hollow structure, and a number of rib strips 6 are arranged on the inner wall of the column 1. The number of rib strips 6 forms a cross structure. By means of the rib strips 6 and the formed cross structure, the distribution density of the internal rib strips 6 is high. Compared with the strength of parallel arrangement, it is 25% higher, the processing is smoother and the stability is strong.
[0023] It further includes a tool magazine base 7. The tool magazine base 7 is fixedly arranged in front of the column 1, and a disc-type ATC tool magazine 8 is fixedly arranged on the tool magazine base 7. By means of the disc-type ATC tool magazine 8, the convenient tool change effect of the head mechanism 4 is ensured.
[0024] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model, the present utility model can be implemented in other specific forms. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting.

Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present utility model. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claimed rights.
[0025] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described according to the embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
