Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of machine tool equipment, in particular to a machining center with a floor-standing tool magazine. Background Art

[0002] A tool magazine system provides the storage and tool changing required for automated machining. Its automated tool changing mechanism and multi-tool storage system have revolutionized traditional, labor-intensive production methods. Controlled by computer programs, it can accomplish a wide range of machining tasks, such as milling, drilling, boring, and tapping, significantly shortening processing times and reducing production costs—a key advantage of tool magazine systems. In recent years, tool magazines have evolved beyond their simple role as machine tool accessories, developing products within their unique technological domain that meet the high-precision, high-performance, high-reliability, and multi-tasking requirements of machine tools. The quality of these products significantly impacts the overall performance of machine tools.

[0003] However, conventional tool magazines currently on the market do not have auxiliary floor supports, and the tool magazine level is difficult to correct during assembly and debugging. During long-term use, the tool magazine will sag due to gravity, resulting in deviations in the tool change position, affecting the service life of the tool magazine manipulator and spindle. In addition, since the center of gravity of the tool magazine is forward, it will cause changes in the machine tool accuracy over time, affecting the quality of processed products.

[0004] Therefore, the above problems become technical problems that need to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0005] Purpose of the utility model: In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the utility model provides a machining center with a floor-type tool magazine, which is simple and convenient to use and assemble, and has low cost. A tool magazine bracket is extended from the side of the tool magazine, and the tool magazine bracket is connected to the ground support part. A pad is set at the bottom of the support part, and the upper end is connected to the tool magazine bracket, so that the gravity sharing part of the tool magazine is placed on the bottom surface. The pad on the support part can adjust the bearing force through bolts to make the force reach an appropriate state, reduce the influence of the forward tilt of the center of gravity of the tool magazine on the accuracy of the machine tool and the tool change position deviation caused by deformation, extend the life of the tool magazine, and improve the accuracy of the equipment.

[0006] Technical solution: In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a machining center with a floor-type tool magazine, comprising: a machine tool body, a tool magazine and a floor-type support device, wherein the tool magazine is connected to the machine tool body;

[0007] The floor support device includes a tool magazine bracket and a support part, one end of the support part is connected to the tool magazine bracket, and the other end of the support part is arranged on the ground. The tool magazine bracket is movably installed on the machine tool body, and the tool magazine bracket is also connected to the tool magazine.

[0008] Furthermore, the support portion includes a support rod, a mounting plate, and a pad. One end of the support rod is connected to the tool magazine bracket, and the other end is connected to the mounting plate. Pads are mounted at the four corners of the mounting plate via bolts. The bolts can be used to adjust the bearing force of the pads to achieve an appropriate force on the tool magazine.

[0009] Furthermore, the machine tool body includes a base, a column, a spindle box and a saddle, the column is arranged on one side of the base, the spindle box is arranged on the front of the column, and the saddle is arranged on the base.

[0010] Furthermore, a mounting table is provided on the side of the column, a slide groove is provided on the mounting table, and the tool magazine bracket is provided on the mounting table and cooperates with the slide groove.

[0011] The chute also houses a tool magazine adjustment block equipped with a locking bolt. The block is connected to the tool magazine bracket and can be locked to the chute. When assembling and debugging the tool magazine, the locking bolt on the tool magazine adjustment block is loosened, allowing the tool magazine bracket to slide on the mounting surface to fine-tune the tool magazine's position.

[0012] Furthermore, the saddle is slidably arranged on the base, and a workbench is slidably arranged on the saddle.

[0013] Furthermore, the tool magazine includes a fixed disk and a rotating disk, and the rotating disk is provided with a plurality of tool boxes for storing tools, and the tool boxes can be turned up and down along the bottom thereof. When a tool needs to be replaced, the rotating disk rotates to drive the tool box containing the required tool to move to the bottom of the tool magazine, and the tool box is turned over.

[0014] Furthermore, a pneumatic manipulator is located below the tool magazine. This pneumatic manipulator is symmetrical, with tool grippers at both ends and a rotary telescopic cylinder in the middle. When the tool is moved to the tool change position, the rotary telescopic cylinder first moves the pneumatic manipulator downward, then rotates to allow the gripper to grasp the tool. The pneumatic manipulator then rotates back upward, mounting the tool in the tool mounting port on the underside of the spindle housing to complete the tool change.

[0015] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The utility model provides a machining center with a floor-type tool magazine, which is simple and convenient to use and assemble, and has low cost. A tool magazine bracket is extended from the side of the tool magazine, and the tool magazine bracket is connected to a floor-mounted support part. A pad is provided at the bottom of the support part, and the upper end is connected to the tool magazine bracket, so that the gravity sharing part of the tool magazine is partially exposed to the bottom surface. The pad on the support part can adjust the bearing force through bolts so that the force reaches an appropriate state, thereby reducing the influence of the forward tilt of the tool magazine's center of gravity on the accuracy of the machine tool and the tool change position deviation caused by deformation, thereby extending the service life of the tool magazine and improving the accuracy of the equipment.
