Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beams, in particular to a telescopic and yielding beam device and a vertical machining center. Background Art
[0002] Existing vertical machining centers generally include a crossbeam when planning the exterior protection of the entire machine. The crossbeam is installed in front of the spindle box and above the workbench. When projected vertically from above, the workbench is often blocked by the crossbeam by about 2 / 3 of the space. This interferes with the movement of the lifting chain. When lifting large workpieces, the center of the workpiece will land significantly different from the center of the workbench, preventing the workpiece from being lifted to the center of the workbench. However, designs without a crossbeam will directly affect the rigidity and waterproof performance of the sheet metal shell of the exterior protection, resulting in inaccurate door closing and even the sheet metal shell being prone to shaking during machining.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, or indirect connection through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0024] See Figure 1-5 As shown, as an embodiment of the present invention, a retractable and yielding beam device is provided, which is mainly used in the field of workpiece hoisting in vertical machining centers, including a beam 1, and a yielding opening 2 is provided on the beam 1, which is through-through, and the yielding opening 2 is used for the lifting chain to make movable yielding. The bottom side of the beam 1 is provided with an elastic retractable mechanism 3 that can move forward and backward and retract to realize the movable blocking of the yielding opening 2.
[0025] During the hoisting operation, the hoisting chain moves backward to press the elastic telescopic mechanism 3, and the elastic telescopic mechanism 3 moves backward and contracts, thereby withdrawing from the position directly below the clearance opening 2, so that the clearance opening 2 can be used for the hoisting chain to move and make way. As a result, in a vertical projection from top to bottom, the crossbeam 1 does not block the space of the workbench, thereby avoiding blocking the movement range of the hoisting chain, so that when the hoisting chain hoists the workpiece, the workpiece can always be hoisted to the center position of the workbench;
[0026] When the lifting work is completed, the lifting chain moves forward out of the clearance opening 2, and the elastic telescopic mechanism 3 elastically resets and moves forward and stretches, thereby extending directly below the clearance opening 2 to block it, thereby shielding and protecting the vertical machining center and preventing water from splashing out inside the vertical machining center. This setting can ensure the rigidity, supporting strength and waterproof performance of the shell, while ensuring accurate closing of the door, and can avoid shaking of the shell during processing, thereby ensuring working stability.
[0027] In this embodiment, the crossbeam 1 is U-shaped, and the clearance opening 2 is a U-shaped clearance opening. The opening of the U-shaped clearance opening faces forward and the recessed direction is rearward. The elastic telescopic mechanism 3 includes a movable plate 32 and a fixed plate 31 facing front and rear, an accordion cover 33 connected between the fixed plate 31 and the movable plate 32, and a spring 34 installed in the accordion cover 33. The spring 34 is used to drive the accordion cover 33 to move forward, stretch and reset. When the lifting chain is performing the lifting work, the lifting chain squeezes the movable plate 32 to move backward, thereby driving the accordion cover 33 to move backward and contract. At this time, the spring 34 is compressed and stored. When the lifting chain moves forward out of the clearance opening 2, under the elastic force of the spring 34, the accordion cover 33 moves forward, stretches and resets, and at the same time drives the movable plate 32 to move forward and reset. At this time, the accordion cover 33 extends directly below the clearance opening 2 to block it.
[0028] In this embodiment, guide rails 11 are respectively installed on the left and right ends of the bottom side of the beam 1 corresponding to the yield opening 2, and bayonet sockets 36 are respectively provided on the left and right ends of the top side of the accordion cover 33. The bayonet sockets 36 cooperate with the guide rails 11 to slide back and forth, ensuring the accuracy and smoothness of the forward and backward movement and extension of the accordion cover 33, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the lifting work.
[0029] In this embodiment, a clearance hole is formed on the movable plate 32, through which a guide rod 35 is provided. The rear end of the guide rod 35 is located within the accordion cover 33 and is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 31. The length direction of the guide rod 35 is parallel to the front-to-back direction. The spring 34 is mounted on the guide rod 35 within the accordion cover 33, so that the spring 34 can stably extend and retract in the front-to-back direction, thereby ensuring the accurate reset of the accordion cover 33. Specifically, there are two guide rods 35, each located directly below the two guide rails 11, which provides more stable guidance and prevents obstruction and interference with the hanging chain.
[0030] In this embodiment, the fixed plate 31 and the movable plate 32 are both rigid parts, specifically sheet metal parts, which have good wear resistance and are not easy to be damaged. The accordion cover 33 is a flexible part with better elasticity, ensuring the elastic stability.
[0031] The present invention also provides a vertical machining center, comprising the retractable and yielding beam device, shell, spindle box, lifting chain and workbench described in the above embodiment, the beam device is installed on the shell in front of the spindle box, the workbench is located below the beam device, and the lifting chain is located in front of the beam device. The beam device can avoid blocking and interfering with the moving range of the lifting chain, so that when the lifting chain lifts the workpiece, the workpiece can always be lifted to the center position of the workbench, while ensuring the rigidity, supporting strength and waterproof performance of the shell, ensuring accurate door closing, and avoiding shaking of the shell during processing, thereby ensuring working stability.
[0032] Although the present invention has been specifically demonstrated and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
