Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of plate milling, and in particular to a plate milling device. Background Technology
[0002] Sheet milling is a machining process primarily used for the precise cutting, carving, or shaping of various sheet materials. This process is typically accomplished using a routing machine, which operates automatically according to pre-programmed instructions to achieve complex shapes and patterns. During routing, the sheet material is fixed to a worktable, and then a high-speed rotating cutter moves along a designed path to cut or carve into the material. Sheets can be made of various materials, such as wood, plastic, metal, and composite materials. By adjusting the type, size, and cutting parameters of the cutter, different processing effects can be achieved, including planar carving, three-dimensional relief carving, grooving, and drilling.
[0003] After sheet metal processing, debris and dust often remain on the surface due to the high-speed friction between the cutting tool and the material during the milling process, as well as the fine particles generated during cutting. These residues not only affect the product's appearance but can also negatively impact subsequent processes, such as hindering paint or coating adhesion or introducing additional impurities during assembly. However, most existing milling machines focus on completing the primary cutting and engraving tasks and do not integrate effective cleaning functions, thus requiring an additional cleaning step after processing. This extra cleaning step increases the labor intensity and time costs for workers, reducing overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a plate milling device, comprising: a frame 1, which is independently and fixedly installed;
[0031] The milling cutter head 2 is movably mounted on the frame 1 and is driven to move by the drive pair 3;
[0032] Several support plates 4 are installed inside the frame 1 to support the plates;
[0033] The conveying assembly 5 includes a first conveying group 51 and a second conveying group 52 respectively installed on the inner and outer sides of the frame 1, for driving the plate to move;
[0034] The cleaning component 6 is installed on the frame 1 and located between the first conveyor group 51 and the second conveyor group 52, and is used to clean the surface of the sheet material.
[0035] The frame 1 is the basic structure of the entire device, providing necessary stability and support for the components. During operation, the conveying assembly 5 is responsible for feeding the sheet metal into and out of the device, ensuring that the sheet metal can smoothly reach under the milling head 2 and be removed after processing. The support plate 4 supports the sheet metal during processing, ensuring its stable placement and avoiding cutting errors caused by unevenness. The milling head 2 is the part that performs the actual cutting. It can move to adapt to different cutting paths, and its movement is controlled by the drive pair 3 to ensure that it can be accurately cut according to the preset design. After cutting, as the sheet metal is conveyed out of the device by the conveying assembly 5, the cleaning assembly 6 removes any dust or debris that may be present on the surface of the sheet metal, ensuring that the sheet metal is clean before entering the next process.
[0036] Specifically, the cleaning assembly 6 includes upright plates 61, cleaning rollers 62, and a transmission gear set 63. The upright plates 61 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the frame 1, and the cleaning rollers 62 are rotatably installed between the two upright plates 61. A space for the plate material to pass through is provided between the outer wall of the cleaning rollers 62 and the upper surface of the frame 1. Several cleaning teeth 621 are provided on the outer circumference of the cleaning rollers 62. The cleaning rollers 62 and the first conveying group 51 are connected by the transmission gear set 63. During the operation of the cleaning assembly 6, the upright plates 61 provide a support structure for the cleaning rollers 62 to ensure their stability and correct position. The transmission gear set 63 links the cleaning rollers 62 and the first conveying group 51, so that the power of the first conveying group 51 is transmitted to the cleaning rollers 62. While the plate material is being conveyed, the cleaning rollers 62 rotate synchronously in a certain proportion. The cleaning teeth 621 contact and scrape off the impurities on the surface of the plate material, realizing automatic cleaning without the need for an additional power source or manual intervention, thus improving production efficiency.
[0037] Preferably, the first conveyor group 51 includes a plurality of evenly spaced first conveyor rollers 511; the transmission gear group 63 includes a first transmission gear 631, a second transmission gear 632, a third transmission gear 633, a fourth transmission gear 634, and a chain 635 disposed on the same side; the first transmission gear 631 is rotatably connected to one end of one of the first conveyor rollers 511 via bearings, the second transmission gear 632 is rotatably connected to one end of the cleaning roller 62 via bearings, the third transmission gear 633 is rotatably mounted below and meshes with the second transmission gear 632, the fourth transmission gear 634 is coaxially connected to the third transmission gear 633 and rotates synchronously with it, and the fourth transmission gear 634 is connected to the first transmission gear 631 via the chain 635; through multiple first transmission... The conveying rollers 511 support and drive the sheet material, ensuring its smooth and continuous entry and exit from the processing area. When the first conveying rollers 511 rotate, they drive the sheet material, and the first transmission gear 631 rotates with them. Through the chain 635, the first transmission gear 631 transmits power to the fourth transmission gear 634. The third transmission gear 633 rotates synchronously with the fourth transmission gear 634. Through the meshing of the teeth, the second transmission gear 632 rotates, and the cleaning roller 62 rotates with the second transmission gear 632. The second transmission gear 632 rotates in the opposite direction to the first conveying rollers 511, producing a "reverse brushing" effect on the surface of the sheet material. This helps to more effectively scrape or brush away dust, debris and other impurities attached to the surface of the sheet material.
[0038] To enhance the cleaning effect, the cleaning teeth 621 are arranged in multiple rows, with each row including a number of cleaning teeth 621 evenly spaced. The cleaning teeth 621 in adjacent rows are staggered. Through this design, the multiple rows of cleaning teeth 621 can more comprehensively cover the surface of the board, ensuring that every area is thoroughly cleaned. The staggered distribution makes the cleaning process more meticulous, reduces blind spots, and makes the cleaning force more uniform, avoiding the risk of damage to the board surface due to excessive local pressure. The uniform force distribution also reduces fatigue damage to the cleaning teeth 621 due to long-term use, extending the overall service life of the cleaning roller 62.
[0039] During the rotation of the cleaning roller 62, dust and debris are stirred up. To control the spread of dust and debris, a dust cover 64 is installed between the two vertical plates 61. The dust cover 64 is located above the cleaning roller 62 and is equipped with an air box 65. Several suction ports 641 connected to the air box 65 are opened on the dust cover 64. A vacuum fan 66 is installed on one side of the frame 1. The suction port of the vacuum fan 66 is connected to the air box 65 through a suction pipe 67, and the air outlet of the vacuum fan 66 is connected to the dust collection box 68 through an air outlet pipe. During the cleaning process, the dust cover 64 prevents dust and debris from flying into the surrounding environment. The vacuum fan 66 provides the necessary negative pressure to ensure that dust and debris are effectively sucked in and transferred to the dust collection box 68. The dust collection box 68 ensures that dust and debris can be collected and processed centrally.
[0040] The preferred dust cover 64 is inverted U-shaped and covers the outside of the cleaning roller 62. This design forms a semi-enclosed structure with the cleaning roller 62, reducing the distance between the suction port 641 and the cleaning area, improving suction efficiency, reducing the possibility of dust and debris leakage, and further enhancing the cleaning effect.
[0041] Preferably, the second conveying group 52 includes several evenly spaced second conveying rollers 521, which are rotatably mounted inside a bracket 522. The bracket 522 is driven to move up and down by an electric telescopic rod 523. The second conveying rollers 521 support and move the sheet metal, ensuring its smooth entry and exit from the processing area. The bracket 522 provides a stable support platform for the second conveying rollers 521. The extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 523 causes the bracket 522 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the second conveying rollers 521. During the cutting process, the retraction of the electric telescopic rod 523 allows the sheet metal to be placed stably on the support plate 4. Furthermore, the second conveying rollers 521 remain at a low position during the cutting process, preventing interference with the operation of the milling cutter head 2 and ensuring a smooth cutting process. This avoids safety hazards and quality problems caused by interference between the second conveying rollers 521 and the milling cutter head 2.
[0042] The preferred bracket 522 has clearance spaces 524 on both sides to allow the drive pair 3 to move; this design ensures that the drive pair 3 will not interfere with the bracket 522 when the milling head 2 moves, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the equipment and the machining accuracy.
[0043] The preferred drive pair 3 includes an X-axis linear drive pair 31, a Y-axis linear drive pair 32, and a Z-axis linear drive pair 33. The fixed part of the Y-axis linear drive pair 32 is located on the moving part of the X-axis linear drive pair 31, and the fixed part of the Z-axis linear drive pair 33 is located on the moving part of the Y-axis linear drive pair 32. The moving part of the Z-axis linear drive pair 33 forms the output end of the drive pair 3. Through the X-axis linear drive pair 31 and the Y-axis linear drive pair 32, the milling cutter head 2 can be positioned at any position on the plane to adapt to complex cutting paths. The height of the milling cutter head 2 is controlled by the Z-axis linear drive pair 33 to adapt to different cutting depths and the processing requirements of multi-layer plates. Through the coordinated work of the linear drive pairs in the X, Y, and Z directions, the movement capability of the milling cutter head 2 in three-dimensional space is significantly improved, ensuring efficient and precise processing of the plates.
[0044] A limiting plate is preferably provided on the side of the support plate away from the conveying direction to limit the position of the front end of the plate. During the plate placement stage, as the second conveying group 52 moves, the front end of the plate contacts the limiting plate, ensuring that its position on the support plate 4 is fixed and accurate, reducing the time for manual adjustment of the plate position and improving production efficiency.
[0045] This utility model discloses a plate milling device. During operation, the conveying assembly 5 is first activated, causing the first conveying roller 511 and the second conveying roller 521 to rotate, carrying the plate into the processing area. The first transmission gear 631 rotates together with the first conveying roller 511, driving the fourth transmission gear 634 and the third transmission gear 633 to rotate synchronously via a chain 635. Through the meshing of the teeth, the second transmission gear 632 rotates in the opposite direction, and the cleaning roller 62 rotates with the second transmission gear 632. When the plate passes under the cleaning roller 62, the cleaning teeth 621 contact the plate surface, scraping away any dust and debris that may be adhering to the plate. The dust cover 64 prevents impurities from scattering, and the suction fan 66 removes the impurities. The material is effectively sucked in and transferred to the dust collection box 68. When the front end of the material contacts the limiting plate, the second conveying roller 521 stops rotating, the electric telescopic rod 523 retracts, causing the bracket 522 and the second conveying roller 521 to descend, and the material is placed stably on the support plate 4. The X-axis linear drive pair 31, the Y-axis linear drive pair 32 and the Z-axis linear drive pair 33 work together to control the milling cutter head 2 to move precisely along the preset path, and the milling cutter head 2 performs cutting or engraving. After processing, the electric telescopic rod 523 extends, lifting the second conveying roller 521. The first conveying roller 511 and the second conveying roller 521 begin to rotate in opposite directions, driving the material away from the processing area. During the departure process, the cleaning roller 62 cleans the impurities on the processed material.
[0046] The plate milling device of this utility model has common mechanical methods in terms of installation, connection or setting. It can be implemented as long as it can achieve its beneficial effect.
[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
