[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A casting bracket for a tool magazine includes a casting bracket body, which comprises an integrally formed top plate, a bottom plate, two side plates, and two support plates. The top plate and the bottom plate are horizontally arranged and parallel to each other. The top plate has a plurality of first mounting bosses spaced apart, each mounting boss having a first connecting hole. The two side plates are located at the two ends of the top plate and the bottom plate, respectively, and are vertically connected between the ends of the top plate and the bottom plate. The two support plates are spaced apart and are vertically connected between the middle of the top plate and the bottom plate. Reinforcing ribs are provided between the bottom of the top plate and the side plates and the support plates. The bottom of the bottom plate has a plurality of second mounting bosses spaced apart, each second mounting boss having a second connecting hole. Reinforcing ribs are provided between the bottom of the bottom plate and the second mounting bosses.
[0006] In some embodiments, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are threaded holes.
[0007] In some embodiments, the bottom of the base plate is integrally provided with two spaced limiting protrusions, which are located on both sides of a plurality of second mounting protrusions; a reinforcing rib is provided between the bottom of the base plate and the limiting protrusions.
[0008] In at least one embodiment, the limiting protrusion is provided with a clearance opening.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, this utility model achieves at least the following beneficial effects:
[0010] The main body of the cast bracket is integrally formed through a casting process, resulting in high structural strength. Reinforcing ribs are provided between the bottom of the top plate and the side plates and support plates, and between the bottom of the bottom plate and the second mounting boss and the limiting boss, ensuring the overall rigidity and structural strength of the cast bracket body. It has good resistance to deformation and fracture. Furthermore, openings are formed between the two support plates and between the side plates and the support plates. While ensuring the overall rigidity and structural strength of the cast bracket body, the material usage is minimized, reducing costs and the weight of the cast bracket body, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of the cast bracket body. This utility model has a simple structure, strong practicality, and low manufacturing cost. Attached Figure Description

These embodiments are provided herein to make the disclosure of this application more complete and to fully convey the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art.
[0018] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "several" or "more than" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances. In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" a second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or it can include contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Moreover, "above," "over," and "on top" of a second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" of a second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0019] like Figures 1-4As shown, a casting bracket for a tool magazine includes a casting bracket body 100. The casting bracket body 100 includes an integrally formed top plate 1, a bottom plate 2, two side plates 3, and two support plates 4. The top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 are horizontally arranged and parallel to each other. The top plate 1 has multiple first mounting bosses 5 spaced apart, and each mounting boss has a first connecting hole 51. The first mounting bosses are used to install the tool magazine. The two side plates 3 are located at both ends of the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2, and are vertically connected between the ends of the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2. The two support plates 4 are spaced apart and are vertically connected between the middle of the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2. The bottom of the top plate 1 is provided with reinforcing ribs 8 between the side plates 3 and the support plates 4. The bottom of the bottom plate 2 has multiple second mounting bosses 6 spaced apart, and each second mounting boss 6 has a second connecting hole 61. The second mounting bosses 6 are used to install on the linear guide rail 9 and the lead screw nut 10 of the tool magazine translation mechanism. The bottom of the bottom plate 2 is provided with reinforcing ribs 8 between the second mounting bosses 6.
[0020] Specifically, the first connecting hole 51 and the second connecting hole 61 are screw holes.
[0021] In this embodiment, the bottom of the base plate 2 is integrally provided with two spaced limiting protrusions 7. The two limiting protrusions 7 are located on both sides of the plurality of second mounting protrusions 6, and a reinforcing rib 8 is provided between the bottom of the base plate 2 and the limiting protrusions 7. When the casting bracket body 100 is installed on the tool magazine translation mechanism, the two limiting protrusions 7 can limit the casting bracket body 100 to the left and right, which facilitates the correct positioning of the second mounting protrusions 6 on the linear guide rail 9 and the lead screw nut 10. Then, screws are passed through the second connecting hole 61 to realize the connection between the second mounting protrusions 6 and the linear guide rail 9 and the lead screw nut 10. Thus, when the tool magazine translation mechanism is working, the lead screw nut 10 can drive the casting bracket body 100 and the tool magazine to reciprocate along the linear guide rail 9.
[0022] Specifically, the limiting protrusion 7 is provided with a clearance opening 71. Since the tool magazine translation mechanism of the machine tool is usually provided with an upper baffle 20, the upper baffle 20 is used to prevent the cutting fluid from contaminating the tool magazine translation mechanism below when the tool is processing the product. The clearance opening 71 on the limiting protrusion 7 can make way for the upper baffle 20, so as to avoid interference between the cast support body 100 and the upper baffle 20 during the translation process.
[0023] This utility model is integrally formed by casting. Reinforcing ribs 8 are provided between the bottom of the top plate 1 and the side plate 3 and the support plate 4, and between the bottom of the bottom plate 2 and the second mounting boss 6 and the limiting boss 7. Openings are formed between the two support plates 4 and between the side plate 3 and the support plate 4. While ensuring the overall rigidity and structural strength of the cast bracket body 100, the material usage is minimized and the cost is reduced. At the same time, the weight of the cast bracket body 100 is also reduced, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of the cast bracket body 100. In summary, this utility model has a simple structure, strong practicality, low manufacturing cost, and is suitable for mass production.
[0024] It should be understood that all the above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Any modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made by those skilled in the art to the specific embodiments described above under the concept of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
