[0002] A horizontal machining center that facilitates the transportation of workpieces is a specially designed processing equipment that aims to improve work efficiency by optimizing the workpiece in and out transportation process. This type of equipment integrates advanced automation technology. It is not only equipped with special transportation devices and conveying devices to realize automatic conveying of workpieces during the processing, thereby greatly reducing the workload of staff and significantly improving work efficiency; at the same time, it also has a built-in automatic tool changing device that can quickly adapt to different processing needs for tool replacement. In addition, its workbench design is also extremely ingenious, which facilitates the rapid clamping and unloading of workpieces, further shortening the processing cycle and ensuring the efficiency and smoothness of the entire processing process.
[0003] Existing horizontal machining centers that are convenient for transporting workpieces will generate a large amount of metal debris during the machining process. These debris are usually collected by the receiving tray at the bottom. However, the existing receiving tray design has significant defects in cleaning the debris. The debris is often tightly attached to the surface of the receiving tray and even embedded in tiny gaps, making the cleaning work cumbersome and time-consuming. Not only does it require frequent manual removal of the receiving tray for cleaning, but even with tools such as rags and brushes, it is difficult to completely remove all debris, especially the fine particles hidden in corners and gaps. This not only increases the labor intensity of workers, but may also affect the machining accuracy and efficiency due to incomplete cleaning. At the same time, frequent disassembly and installation of the receiving tray may also pose a potential threat to the stability and durability of the equipment, resulting in increased maintenance costs and increased risk of failure.

[0032] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.
[0033] A horizontal machining center that is convenient for transporting workpieces, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the machining center 1 includes a base 101, a side frame 103, a workpiece fixture 104 and a machine base 105. A material receiving mechanism 2 is provided at the inner lower side of the side frame 103 and the inner lower side of the machine base 105; the material receiving mechanism 2 includes a first mounting seat 201 and a second mounting seat 202, the first mounting seat 201 is fixed to the inner lower side of the side frame 103, and the second mounting seat 202 is installed at the inner lower side of the machine base 105. The first mounting seat 201 and the second mounting seat 202 are arranged in a semicircular arc structure, and slots 203 are provided on the inner sides of the first mounting seat 201 and the second mounting seat 202; plug blocks 204 are inserted into the two slots 203, and the plug blocks 204 are inserted into the two slots 203. 4 is adapted to the slot 203, and collecting sheets 206 are provided on the inner sides of the two inserting blocks 204. The collecting sheets 206 are made of cardboard, and a plurality of folding marks 207 are provided between the collecting sheets 206. Through the design of the machining center 1, especially the material receiving mechanism 2 provided on the inner lower side of the side frame 103 and the inner lower side of the machine base 105, effective collection of debris during the machining process is achieved. This design not only keeps the working area clean, but also reduces the wear of the machine parts by the debris, thereby extending the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the semicircular arc structure of the material receiving mechanism 2 and the design of the slot 203 facilitate the centralized collection of debris and improve the efficiency of debris collection.
[0034] See Figure 1 、 Figure 4 A plurality of fixing holes 205 are provided on the top of the first mounting seat 201 and the second mounting seat 202, and tightening bolts 208 are threaded into the fixing holes 205. The plurality of fixing holes 205 provided on the top of the first mounting seat 201 and the second mounting seat 202, and the tightening bolts 208 threaded into these holes provide additional stability and fixing force for the material receiving mechanism 2. This design ensures the stability of the material receiving mechanism during the processing, prevents loosening due to vibration or external force, and thus improves the reliability and safety of debris collection.
[0035] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , tightening bolts 208 are used to fix the first mounting seat 201 and the second mounting seat 202 to the insert block 204. Tightening bolts 208 not only tightly fix the first mounting seat 201 and the second mounting seat 202 to the side frame 103 and the machine base 105, but also ensure the firm connection between the insert block 204 and the mounting seat. This dual fixing effect effectively prevents the insert block 204 and the collecting piece 206 from falling off or loosening during the processing, further improving the efficiency and stability of debris collection.
[0036] See Figure 3 、 Figure 4The collecting sheet 206 is used to collect debris, and the two ends of the collecting sheet 206 are adhered to the two plug-in blocks 204. The collecting sheet 206 is made of cardboard, which is not only light and easy to replace, but also the adhesion design at both ends enables the collecting sheet to be tightly attached to the plug-in blocks 204. This design not only simplifies the debris cleaning process, but also avoids the scattering and splashing of debris, thereby improving the cleanliness and safety of the working environment. At the same time, the folding marks 207 between the collecting sheets 206 enable the collecting sheets to be flexibly unfolded and fit the inner side of the material receiving mechanism, further improving the comprehensiveness and efficiency of debris collection.
[0037] See Figure 4 A linear motor 102 is provided at the top front end of the base, and a base 105 is provided on the top of the linear motor 102. The linear motor 102 provided at the top front end of the base 101 provides strong power support for the movement of the base 105. This design enables the base 105 to move quickly and accurately in the X-axis direction, thereby realizing the precise processing of the workpiece by the processing head 106. At the same time, the stability and reliability of the linear motor 102 also ensure the continuity and stability of the processing process, thereby improving the processing efficiency and accuracy.
[0038] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 A processing head 106 is installed on the machine base 105, and the linear motor 102 is used to move the machine base 105. The processing head 106 installed on the machine base 105 can move flexibly under the drive of the linear motor 102, which not only realizes the comprehensive processing of the workpiece, but also improves the flexibility and adaptability of the processing. At the same time, the precise control of the linear motor 102 enables the processing head 106 to be accurately positioned on the workpiece, thereby achieving high-precision and high-quality processing effects.
[0039] See Figure 1 、 Figure 4 A side frame 103 is provided at the top rear end of the base 101, and a workpiece clamp 104 is installed on the side frame 103. The workpiece clamp 104 is driven by a cylinder. The side frame 103 and the workpiece clamp 104 provided at the top rear end of the base 101 provide stable and reliable support for the clamping of the workpiece. The cylinder-driven workpiece clamp 104 can clamp the workpiece quickly and accurately, ensuring the stability and safety of the workpiece during the processing. At the same time, this design also simplifies the clamping process of the workpiece, improves work efficiency and clamping accuracy.

The fold marks 207 between the collection sheets are designed to allow the collection sheets to fit the inner side of the material receiving mechanism, ensuring that the debris will not be scattered. After the processing is completed, stop the processing program in the CNC system and turn off the linear motor 102 and the cylinder drive system of the workpiece fixture 104;
