Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary tooling, in particular to an auxiliary tooling for a gantry machining center. Background Technique
[0002] A gantry machining center refers to a machining center in which the axis of the main spindle Z is vertically arranged with respect to the workbench. The overall structure is a large machining center machine with a gantry structure framework composed of double columns and a top beam. There is also a cross beam between the double columns. It is particularly suitable for machining large workpieces and workpieces with complex shapes. There are fixed beam types (the cross beam is fixed, and the workbench moves / rotates), moving beam types (the cross beam moves up and down, and the workbench moves back and forth), moving column types (the workbench is fixed, and the gantry moves), overhead crane types (the workbench is fixed, and the cross beam moves), and there are also various gantry machining centers in the above composite forms. The machining characteristics, capabilities, and machining purposes for targeted products are not exactly the same. During machining, an auxiliary fixture is required to fix the workpiece.
[0003] When the existing auxiliary tooling is installed and used, it can only simply clamp and fix the workpiece. Since the workpiece is large in volume and the workpiece made of metal material is relatively heavy, it is not convenient for the staff to turn over the workpiece. It is necessary to rely on external mechanical equipment to assist the staff in turning over the workpiece, which brings certain adverse effects to the use process. In order to solve the deficiencies of the existing technology, we propose an auxiliary tooling for a gantry machining center. Content of the Utility Model

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] As shown in Figure 1 - Figure 2 the figure, an auxiliary tooling for a gantry machining center includes a machining table 1. A plurality of first chutes 2 are provided on the inner wall above the machining table 1. The worker slides the T-shaped block 4 into the inside of the first chute 2, and selects a suitable position to fix the support plate 3 through the set fixing screw 5 and the T-shaped block 4. The workpiece is placed above the support plate 3, and its side and end faces are respectively abutted against the first positioning block 6 and the second positioning block 7. The fixed side plate 10 is controlled by the set first cylinder 9 to fix the workpiece, facilitating the worker to process it. After the workpiece is processed, the first cylinder 9 and the fixed side plate 10 are loosened, and the second cylinder 12 is started. The top plate 13 is controlled by the set second cylinder 12 to move up and down, jacking up the workpiece to separate its bottom surface from the upper surface of the support plate 3.
[0023] As shown in Figure 3 - Figure 4 the figure, for an auxiliary tooling of a gantry machining center, after the workpiece is lifted, the fixed clamps 19 are controlled by the set fourth cylinder 18 to move towards each other, and the fixed clamps 19 are moved to both ends of the workpiece, so that the workpiece is located between the fixed clamps 19 and the pressing plate 20. The pressing plate 20 is controlled by the set fifth cylinder 21 to move up and down to clamp and fix the workpiece. The bearing plate 17 and the fixed block 16 are controlled by the set third cylinder 15 to rise, lifting the workpiece to have enough space for turning the material. When the workpiece rises to a certain height, the motor 23 is started, and the workpiece is turned by the set motor 23. After the workpiece is turned, the bearing plate 17 and the fixed block 16 are lowered by the set third cylinder 15, and the workpiece is placed above the top plate 13. The top plate 13 is controlled by the set second cylinder 12 to descend, placing the workpiece on the upper surface of the support plate 3. Subsequently, the workpiece is fixed by the set first cylinder 9 and the fixed side plate 10, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the worker, facilitates the operation of the worker, improves the practicability of the equipment, reduces the input cost, and improves the competitive advantage in the market.
