Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool protection technology, specifically a protective device for a vertical machining center. Background Technology

[0002] CNC milling machines are automated machining equipment developed from general milling machines. The machining processes of the two are basically the same, and their structures are also somewhat similar. CNC milling machines are divided into two main categories: those without tool magazines and those with tool magazines. CNC milling machines with tool magazines are also known as machining centers. The development of science and technology, as well as the rise and continuous maturation of advanced manufacturing technologies worldwide, have placed higher demands on CNC machining technology. The application of technologies such as ultra-high-speed cutting and ultra-precision machining has placed higher performance requirements on the CNC system, servo performance, spindle drive, and machine tool structure of CNC machine tools. The rapid development of FMS and the continuous maturation of CIMS will further demand higher requirements on the reliability, communication functions, artificial intelligence, and adaptive control technologies of CNC machine tools. With the development of microelectronics and computer technology, the performance of CNC systems is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and the application fields of CNC technology are expanding daily.

[0003] Existing protective devices for vertical machining centers are generally installed by using vertical shields around the machining table. This method can prevent machining chips from flying everywhere. However, cleaning this type of vertical shield requires workers to enter the interior of the machining table, which is quite laborious due to the small space inside the machining table. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a protective device for a vertical machining center to solve the technical problem that when cleaning is done by using a vertical shield, workers need to enter the interior of the machining table to clean it, which is difficult due to the small space inside the machining table.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a protective device for a vertical machining center, including a machining table, with a protective mechanism fixedly connected to the top of the machining table around its perimeter. The protective mechanism includes a frame, and a rotating space is provided on the frame. A central rod is fixedly connected inside the rotating space, and a rotating plate is rotatably connected to the central rod. Magnets are glued to both sides of the rotating plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective mechanism can effectively prevent iron filings generated during processing from flying everywhere, protecting the working environment and the safety of operators. The rotating plate allows for easy rotation to create space when installing or removing workpieces, facilitating the installation and removal of workpieces from different directions.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame is fixedly connected to the processing table by bolts, and rotating clips are rotatably connected to the four outer sides of the frame.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the frame is fixedly connected to the processing table with bolts, ensuring the stability and firmness of the protective mechanism, so that the protective mechanism can effectively play a protective role during the processing.

[0009] Furthermore, buckles are welded and fixed on both opposite sides of the rotating plate, and the buckles are compatible with the rotating plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, buckles are welded and fixed on both opposite sides of the rotating plate, which enhances the structural strength of the rotating plate and makes it more stable and reliable during use.

[0011] Furthermore, the processing table and the base are slidably connected, and a column is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding connection between the processing table and the base allows the processing table to slide on the base, thereby facilitating the movement of the workpiece and the adjustment of the processing position, and improving the flexibility and efficiency of processing.

[0013] Furthermore, a sliding platform is slidably connected to the column, and a power box is fixedly connected to the sliding platform.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a sliding table is slidably connected to the column, allowing the sliding table to slide up and down on the column, thereby adjusting the distance between the cutting tool or machining tool and the machining table, and adapting to different machining needs.

[0015] Furthermore, a storage box is fixedly connected to one side of the base by bolts, and the storage box is used to hold cleaning tools.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a storage box is fixedly connected to one side of the base with bolts, so that the storage box can be firmly fixed to the base, providing a stable space for storing cleaning tools.

[0017] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the frame, a camera is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting bracket, and a display is mounted on one end of the mounting bracket.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the frame, providing a stable mounting platform for the camera and monitor. A camera is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting bracket, which can capture images of the processing process in real time, providing operators with intuitive monitoring of the processing status.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0020] 1. This utility model effectively prevents iron filings from flying everywhere during processing by setting up a protective mechanism, protecting the working environment and the safety of operators. At the same time, it realizes convenient collection of iron filings. The storage box provides convenience for storing cleaning tools, making it easy to quickly access cleaning tools when cleaning is needed, thus improving the efficiency of cleaning work. By rotating the rotating card and rotating plate, the installation and removal of workpieces become more convenient and quick. Only the rotating plate needs to be flipped over without directly entering the protective mechanism, which improves work efficiency. Using a long-handled brush to clean the processing table avoids the inconvenience of operators needing to enter the protective mechanism for cleaning, ensuring the safety and efficiency of cleaning work.

[0021] 2. This utility model, by setting up a camera and a monitor, captures images of the processing process in real time, providing operators with intuitive monitoring of the processing status. The real-time display function of the monitor allows operators to clearly observe the processing status without having to directly observe the processing area, thus solving the problem of difficulty in observing the workpiece processing status due to the opaque rotating plate and improving the visualization of the processing process.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure. Example

[0031] A protective device for a vertical machining center, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the machine includes a processing table 1, and a protective mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the processing table 1. The protective mechanism 2 includes a frame 201, and a rotating space 202 is provided on the frame 201. A central rod 203 is fixedly connected inside the rotating space 202, and a rotating plate 204 is rotatably connected to the central rod 203. Magnets 205 are glued to both sides of the rotating plate 204. The magnets 205 glued to both sides of the rotating plate 204 can attract splashed iron filings, realize the effective collection of iron filings, and use the subsequent flipping of the rotating plate 204 to carry the iron filings out, keep the processing environment clean, and improve processing efficiency and ease of operation.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom of the frame 201 is fixedly connected to the processing table 1 by bolts. Rotary clips 206 are rotatably connected to the four outer sides of the frame 201. The rotating clips 206 not only facilitate the fixing and releasing of the rotating plate 204, but also improve the convenience of operation. When it is necessary to install or remove the workpiece, the rotating plate 204 can be locked and unlocked simply by rotating the rotating clips 206, which further improves the work efficiency.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rotating plate 204 has clips 207 welded and fixed on both opposite sides. The clips 207 and the rotating clips 206 are compatible, which makes it more convenient and quick to fix and release the rotating plate 204. The operator only needs to easily rotate the rotating clips 206 to achieve the firm fixation or easy release of the rotating plate 204, which further improves work efficiency and ease of operation.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The processing table 1 and the base 3 are slidably connected. A column 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base 3. The column 4 provides stable support for the sliding table 5, ensuring the stability and safety of the sliding table 5 during the sliding process, enabling subsequent workpiece processing, and able to withstand various forces and vibrations generated during processing, thus improving the overall safety.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A sliding table 5 is slidably connected to the column 4, and a power box 6 is fixedly connected to the sliding table 5. The power box 6 provides the necessary power for the cutting tool, ensuring the smooth progress of the machining process and guaranteeing the power support required during the machining process.

[0036] See Figure 4 A storage box 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the base 3 by bolts. The storage box 10 is used to store cleaning tools. The storage box 10 is specifically designed to store cleaning tools so that the cleaning tools can be quickly accessed when needed, thereby improving the efficiency of cleaning work.

[0037] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, rotate the rotating card 206, and then rotate the front rotating plate 204 to a horizontal position, so that space can be made to facilitate the installation of the workpiece onto the processing table 1.

[0038] Then close the front rotating plate 204, rotate the rotating clamp 206 to clamp the rotating plate 204, start the equipment, so that the processing table 1 slides on the base 3, and at the same time the sliding table 5 on the column 4 slides, and the power box 6 drives the tool to process the workpiece.

[0039] At this time, the cut iron filings fly everywhere, and after they land on the rotating plate 204, they are attracted by the magnetic piece 205, thus completing the collection of the iron filings.

[0040] When cleaning is required, rotate the rotating clip 206, then rotate the rotating plate 204 so that the side of the rotating plate 204 that was originally facing the processing table 1 rotates to the outside. Then rotate the rotating clip 206 to lock the rotating plate 204. After that, take out the cleaning tool from the storage box 10 and clean the rotating plate 204, which improves the cleaning efficiency.

[0041] Finally, use a long-handled brush to clean the processing table 1, so that it is not necessary to enter the protective mechanism 2 for cleaning. Example

[0042] See Figure 4 A mounting bracket 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame 201, and a camera 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting bracket 7. A display 9 is installed at one end of the mounting bracket 7. The display 9 can display the image captured by the camera 8 in real time, so that the operator can clearly observe the processing status without having to directly observe the processing area, which improves the safety and convenience of operation.

[0043] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, during processing, the camera 8 takes pictures of the workpiece and transmits them to the display 9 for display, which solves the problem of difficulty in observing the processing status of the workpiece caused by the opaque rotating plate 204.

[0044] All parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
