Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of metal processing equipment, in particular to a semi-protective structure of a large gantry processing center. Background Art
[0002] Gantry machining centers are large-scale processing equipment with a portal frame structure consisting of two columns and a top beam. The workpieces processed by gantry machining centers are generally large. In particular, large gantry machining centers often require a crane or other lifting device to load and unload workpieces. Therefore, it is not appropriate to install enclosed protective structures around the worktable of large gantry machining centers. However, if the sides of the gantry machining center's worktable are not protected, metal chips can easily splash onto the operator during processing, causing safety accidents. To reduce safety risks, some people currently use protective plates temporarily fixed to the sides of the worktable to block them. Although this method can prevent splashing, the protective plates need to be removed each time the workpiece is hoisted, which is not very convenient to operate. In view of this, if there is a semi-protective shielding structure that can be fixed to the columns of the gantry machining center, it can not only prevent metal chips from splashing and injuring people during processing, but also be conveniently folded when not in use, thereby reducing safety risks during operation and improving the convenience of protective operations. This is the problem to be solved in this case. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model discloses a semi-protective structure of a large gantry machining center, comprising a first protective plate, a second protective plate and a third protective plate, wherein the first protective plate, the second protective plate and the third protective plate are arranged in a row in sequence and are hinged by a hinge, the first protective plate is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft on the other side away from the hinge and a rotating sleeve is sleeved on the rotating shaft, the rotating sleeve can be fixed to the column of the gantry machining center, a rotating cylinder is provided on the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft can rotate around the rotating sleeve and can drive the first protective plate to rotate, a first cylinder and a connecting rod are provided between the first protective plate and the second protective plate, and a second cylinder is provided between the second protective plate and the third protective plate. The semi-protective structure of a large gantry machining center of the present invention arranges the first protective plate, the second protective plate and the third protective plate in sequence and hinges the adjacent edges to each other, and utilizes the first cylinder and the second cylinder to drive the second protective plate and the third protective plate to flip over, so that the first protective plate, the second protective plate and the third protective plate can be in an "I" state for protection and shielding, and can also be in a "Z" state for folding; a rotating shaft, a rotating sleeve and a rotating cylinder are provided on the other side of the first protective plate, and the rotating cylinder is utilized to drive the first protective plate to rotate so that the first protective plate, the second protective plate and the third protective plate can be closer to the column of the gantry machining center when not in use, thereby reducing the safety risks during the operation of the gantry machining center and improving the convenience of the protective operation.
