AI Technical Summary
The slip saddle structure of existing vertical milling machines leads to heavy equipment, high production costs and inconvenient handling and assembly. At the same time, the limit sensor has limited effect during jog control, which may cause damage to the slide or column structure and affect the stability of the spindle.
The sliding saddle adopts an L-shaped frame structure, and a limit rod and anti-collision parts are installed on the column. The sliding saddle is driven to slide along the slide through the screw nut transmission pair. Combined with the rotary part and the buffer member to slow down the impact force, improve the column structure to solve the handling and assembly problems and ensure the stability of the spindle.
It reduces the difficulty of handling and assembly of vertical milling machines, avoids structural damage caused by slip saddle collision, and improves the stability of the spindle and the overall reliability of the equipment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vertical milling machines, in particular to a vertical milling machine. Background Art
[0002] A frame-type saddle is generally installed on the head of a vertical milling machine, and multiple slideways extending in the Z direction are installed on its inner wall, with the main spindle installed between the slideways. This structural setting can not only better support the main spindle, but also guide the Z stroke of the main spindle. However, it also determines that the size of the saddle is generally large. A highly stable structure must be installed on the milling machine to support the saddle. This also leads to the fact that most of the columns of the milling machine are thick and heavy, the production cost is high, and it is inconvenient to carry and assemble. The manufacturing cycle of the entire equipment is long. On the other hand, although limit sensors are generally installed at both ends of the slide, the upper limit sensor has limited limiting effect during the jog operation of the saddle during trial operation or production. In special circumstances, the saddle may move up beyond the range, causing damage to the slide or column structure, and it may also cause damage to the spindle end. Utility Model Content
[0003] In response to the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a head structure of a vertical milling machine, in which the saddle is set as an L-shaped frame structure, and can reduce the restriction of the spindle on the column structure of the vertical milling machine, so as to solve the problem of inconvenient transportation and assembly of the vertical milling machine by improving the structure of the column, and can solve the problem of the saddle being damaged during the movement of the jog control saddle during machine testing or production, which affects the stability of the spindle.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the head structure of the vertical milling machine has a column 10 and a spindle 20 on the vertical milling machine, and both the column 10 and the spindle 20 extend in the Z direction; two or more slideways 1 extending in the Z direction are provided on a Y-direction side wall of the column 10, and an L-shaped 30 extending in the Y direction is slidably installed on several slideways 1, whose horizontal arms are connected to the driving device 50 through a transmission mechanism 40 and can slide along the slideway 1 under its drive, and the spindle 20 is detachably fixed on its vertical arm; a limit rod 60 is provided on the column 10 just above the slide saddle 30.
[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving device 50 is a circular motion driving device, the transmission mechanism 40 is a screw-nut transmission pair, and a positioning clamp 2 adapted to the nut is provided between several slideways 1 on the slide saddle 30; the slide saddle 30 is a frame structure, and its vertical arm is formed with several mounting hole grooves 3 arranged in the Z direction and adapted to the main shaft, and the lower end portion and the two side ends of the horizontal arm are formed with reinforcing ribs 4, and the upper end portion of the horizontal arm is provided with an anti-collision member 70 below the limit rod 60; the limit rod 60 is connected to the column 10 through the connecting arm 61, and the limit rod 60, the connecting arm 61 and the column 10 are formed as one piece.
[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the anti-collision member 70 includes a pull rod 5, a rotating member 6 and a buffer member 7. One end of the pull rod 5 is hinged to the slide saddle 30, and the other end extends obliquely to the top of the horizontal arm. A rotating member 6 is provided on it and is transmission-connected to the buffer member 7. The buffer member 7 is detachably fixed on the slide saddle 30.
[0021] It is understood that the rotating member 6 and the buffer member 7 can mitigate the impact force between the saddle 30 and the limit rod 60, preventing damage to the saddle 30 or the resulting vibration from affecting the stability of the main shaft. In this embodiment, both ends of the pull rod 5 are rotating structures, one end of which is hinged to the saddle 30 and the other end is matched with and hinged to the rotating member 6. The rotating member 6 is a roller and the buffer member 7 is a spring. The pull rod 5 and the buffer member are both installed on the horizontal side wall of the saddle 30. In actual application, they can also be installed on the vertical arm of the saddle 30.
[0022] During operation, the driving device drives the transmission mechanism 40 to drive the saddle 30 to slide along the slide 1, and the saddle 30 drives the main shaft 20 thereon to move synchronously. When it moves upward and approaches the limit position, the rotating part 6 first contacts the limit rod 60, and the buffer part 7 is compressed and deformed, preventing the rotating part 6 from being deformed by collision, and at the same time slowing down the upward movement of the saddle 30 until it stops.
[0023] The utility model sets the saddle 30 as an L-shaped frame structure, installs the main shaft 20 on its vertical arm, and sets its horizontal arm on the slide 1 on the column 10, so as to reduce the restriction of the main shaft 20 on the column structure of the vertical milling machine, so as to solve the problem of inconvenient transportation and assembly of the vertical milling machine by improving the structure of the column 10; by arranging matching limit mechanism components on the column 10 and the saddle 30, the problem of damaging the saddle 30 and even affecting the stability of the main shaft 20 during the jog operation of the saddle 30 during trial operation or production can be solved.
[0024] The above does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
