Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of horizontal machining centers, specifically a horizontal machining center that facilitates material loading. Background Technology
[0002] The production process of a machine refers to the entire process from raw materials to finished products. For machine production, this includes the transportation and storage of raw materials, production preparation, blank manufacturing, parts processing and heat treatment, product assembly and debugging, painting and packaging, etc. Horizontal machining centers are needed in machining. A horizontal machining center is a machining center in which the main axis is set parallel to the worktable.
[0003] However, existing horizontal machining centers are inconvenient to load during operation, and generally require manual placement of workpieces into the machine for processing, which leads to a reduction in processing speed.
[0004] As disclosed in CN217530147U, a horizontal machining center with convenient loading is provided. A support frame is added to the outside of the main body of the horizontal machining center, and a sliding rod is added to the inner wall of the slide groove. Third sliders are set on the upper and lower sides of the sliding rod to limit its position when sliding left and right within the slide groove. A third motor is set on one side of the support frame, which drives a second striped rod to rotate. The second striped rod, passing through the sliding rod, allows the sliding rod to move left and right using its surface texture to adjust its direction. A first slider and a telescopic rod are set outside the sliding rod. A first motor is set on one side of the first slider, and the first motor, using a screw, drives a gear to rotate. The gear rotation contacts the telescopic rod, causing it to move up and down. A connecting block is set at the bottom of the telescopic rod, and a second motor is set on one side of the connecting block. The second motor drives the first striped rod to rotate, and the rotation of the first striped rod, using its surface texture, causes the second slider to slide left and right. The sliding of the second slider causes a clamping block to move, clamping the workpiece to be processed. This achieves automatic loading of the horizontal machining center, eliminating manual feeding and saving time.
[0005] However, the device cannot adjust the angle of the material when feeding it. After the material is placed on the platform, the angle of the material needs to be adjusted manually, which is inconvenient and results in low feeding efficiency.
[0006] Therefore, we urgently need to provide a horizontal machining center that is easy to load materials. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a horizontal machining center that facilitates material loading, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inability to adjust the angle of the material when loading it, the need to manually adjust the angle of the material after placing it on the placement table, the inconvenience of operation, and the low loading efficiency.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a horizontal machining center with convenient loading, comprising a horizontal machining center body and a placement table, wherein the placement table is installed on the right side of the horizontal machining center body, and a loading device is provided on the outside of the horizontal machining center body, the loading device comprising an angle adjustment unit and a clamping unit.
[0009] The angle adjustment unit is located on the right side of the horizontal machining center body, and the clamping unit is located on the right side of the horizontal machining center body.
[0010] The angle adjustment unit includes a bracket, a slide rod, a movable plate, a telescopic component one, a rotating shaft, a gear, a telescopic component two, a rack, and a telescopic component three. The bracket is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the main body of the horizontal machining center. The slide rod is fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of one adjacent side of the left and right brackets. The movable plate is slidably connected to the outside of the front and rear slide rods. The telescopic component one is fixedly installed on the right side of the right bracket. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the middle of the movable plate. The gear is fixedly installed on the outer side of the upper end of the rotating shaft. The telescopic component two is fixedly installed on the top left side of the movable plate. The rack is fixedly installed at the output end of the telescopic component two. The telescopic component three is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft.
[0011] Preferably, the movable plate has mounting holes at both the front and rear ends, the slide rod passes through the mounting holes, and the output end of the telescopic component is fixedly connected to the right side of the movable plate. By activating the telescopic component, the movable plate is pushed to slide along the slide rod, thereby transporting the material clamped below the movable plate to the placement platform, achieving rapid material loading.
[0012] Preferably, the rack and gear mesh with each other. By activating the telescopic component, the rack is pushed to move linearly. When the rack moves, it meshes with the gear, thereby driving the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the material below the moving plate to rotate, thus realizing the adjustment of the material feeding angle.
[0013] Preferably, the clamping unit includes a connecting frame, a first motor, a threaded rod, a slider, a second motor, a connecting plate, a straight clamping plate, and an arc-shaped clamping plate. The connecting frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic component three. The first motor is fixedly installed on the right side of the connecting frame. The threaded rod is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor. The slider is threadedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer surface of the threaded rod. The second motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slider. The connecting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the output shaft of the second motor. The straight clamping plate is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting plate, and the arc-shaped clamping plate is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting plate.
[0014] Preferably, the left end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected inside the connecting frame, and the outer surface of the threaded rod has external threads in opposite directions on the left and right sides. The threaded rod is driven to rotate by starting the motor. When the threaded rod rotates, it is threadedly connected to the left and right sliders, so that the sliders move closer to each other and clamp the material.
[0015] Preferably, the upper surface of the connecting frame is provided with a sliding groove, and the upper end of the slider is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The sliding groove limits the movement of the slider, allowing the slider to move linearly along the sliding groove.
[0016] Preferably, the contact surfaces of the straight clamping plate and the curved clamping plate with the material are equipped with rubber pads, which protect the material and prevent the straight clamping plate and the curved clamping plate from scratching the material surface.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0018] 1. This convenient horizontal machining center, by setting up an angle adjustment unit, allows for the linear movement of a rack when the material angle needs adjustment. The rack engages with a gear during movement, causing the rotating shaft to rotate. This rotation of the shaft, in turn, rotates the material below, bringing it to a suitable machining angle. This facilitates material loading angle adjustment, improves loading efficiency, and solves the problems in the background technology where the material angle cannot be adjusted during loading, requiring manual adjustment after placement on the platform, resulting in inconvenient operation and low loading efficiency.
[0019] 2. This convenient horizontal machining center, by setting up a clamping unit, drives the connecting plate to rotate through the starter motor, thereby realizing the switching between straight clamping plates and arc-shaped clamping plates, and thus realizing the clamping and feeding of rectangular and cylindrical materials, improving the practicality of the device.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0027] Example 1: A horizontal machining center with convenient loading, including a horizontal machining center body 1 and a placement table 2. The placement table 2 is installed on the right side of the horizontal machining center body 1 and is used to temporarily place the materials to be processed. A loading device is provided on the outside of the horizontal machining center body 1. The loading device includes an angle adjustment unit and a clamping unit.
[0028] The angle adjustment unit is located on the right side of the horizontal machining center body 1, and the clamping unit is located on the right side of the horizontal machining center body 1.
[0029] The angle adjustment unit includes a bracket 301, a slide rod 302, a movable plate 303, a telescopic component 1 304, a rotating shaft 305, a gear 306, a telescopic component 2 307, a rack 308, and a telescopic component 309. The bracket 301 is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the main body 1 of the horizontal machining center. The slide rod 302 is fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the adjacent side of the left and right brackets 301. The movable plate 303 is slidably connected to the outside of the front and rear slide rods 302. The movable plate 303 has mounting holes at the front and rear ends inside, through which the slide rods 302 pass. The output end of the telescopic component 1 304 is fixedly connected to the right side of the movable plate 303. By activating the telescopic component 1 304, the movable plate 303 is pushed to slide along the slide rod 302, thereby transporting the material clamped below the movable plate 303 to the placement table 2, achieving rapid loading. The telescopic component 1 304 is fixedly installed on the right side of the right bracket 301. The telescopic component 1 304 includes a first hydraulic cylinder and a first hydraulic rod. A cylinder is fixedly installed on the right side of the right bracket 301. A first hydraulic rod is installed at the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder. A rotating shaft 305 is rotatably connected to the middle of the moving plate 303. A gear 306 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the upper end of the rotating shaft 305. A second telescopic component 307 is fixedly installed on the top left side of the moving plate 303. The second telescopic component 307 is an electric push rod. A rack 308 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second telescopic component 307. The rack 308 and the gear 306 mesh with each other. By activating the second telescopic component 307, the rack 308 is pushed to move linearly. When the rack 308 moves, it meshes with the gear 306, thereby driving the rotating shaft 305 to rotate, which in turn drives the material below the moving plate 303 to rotate, thereby adjusting the material feeding angle. A third telescopic component 309 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 305. The third telescopic component 309 includes a second hydraulic cylinder and a second hydraulic rod. The second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 305, and the second hydraulic rod is installed at the output end of the second hydraulic cylinder.
[0030] Example 2: Based on Example 1: The clamping unit includes a connecting frame 401, a first motor 402, a threaded rod 403, a slider 404, a second motor 405, a connecting plate 406, a straight clamping plate 407, and an arc-shaped clamping plate 408. The connecting frame 401 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the telescopic component 309. A groove is formed on the upper surface of the inner part of the connecting frame 401. The upper end of the slider 404 is slidably connected to the inside of the groove. The groove limits the movement of the slider 404, allowing it to move linearly along the groove. The first motor 402 is fixedly installed on the right side of the connecting frame 401. The threaded rod 403 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 402. The left end of the threaded rod 403 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 406. Inside the frame 401, the outer surface of the threaded rod 403 has external threads in opposite directions on the left and right sides. The threaded rod 403 is driven to rotate by the starting motor 402. When the threaded rod 403 rotates, it is threadedly connected to the left and right sliders 404, so that the sliders 404 move closer to each other and clamp the material. The sliders 404 are threadedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer surface of the threaded rod 403. The second motor 405 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slider 404.

The straight clamping plate 407 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting plate 406 to clamp rectangular materials. The arc-shaped clamping plate 408 is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting plate 406 to clamp cylindrical materials.
[0031] Example 3: Based on Example 1: Rubber pads are installed on the contact surfaces of the straight clamping plate 407 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 408 with the material. The rubber pads protect the material and prevent the straight clamping plate 407 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 408 from scratching the material surface.
[0032] In use, activate telescopic component 304 to pull the moving plate 303 to the right until it is directly above the material. Then, activate telescopic component 309 to push the connecting frame 401 down, positioning the material between the two sliders 404. When loading rectangular materials, activate motor 2 405 to rotate the connecting plate 406, positioning the two straight clamping plates 407 directly opposite each other. Then, activate motor 1 402 to rotate the threaded rod 403. As the threaded rod 403 rotates, it connects threadedly with the two sliders 404, bringing the sliders 404 closer together until the straight clamping plates 407 clamp the rectangular material. When loading cylindrical materials, activate motor 2 405 to rotate the connecting plate 406. Rotate 06 to position the two arc-shaped clamping plates 408 directly opposite each other. Similarly, move the two sliders 404 closer together until the arc-shaped clamping plates 408 clamp the cylindrical material. Then, activate the telescopic component 309 to lift the clamped material. When the material angle needs to be adjusted, activate the telescopic component 2 307 to push the rack 308 to move linearly. When the rack 308 moves, it meshes with the gear 306, thereby driving the rotating shaft 305 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 305 rotates, it drives the material below to rotate, so that the material rotates to the appropriate processing angle. Then, activate the telescopic component 1 304 to push the moving plate 303 to move the material to the left, moving the material into the main body 1 of the horizontal machining center for processing.
