Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machine tool technology, specifically a CNC machine tool with retractable cutting tools. Background Technology
[0002] A CNC machine tool is an automated machine tool equipped with a program control system, which performs high-precision and high-efficiency machining through a digital control system. CNC machine tools are characterized by flexibility and high efficiency, and are particularly suitable for machining complex, precise, small-batch, and multi-variety parts.
[0003] Chinese patent discloses a retractable CNC machine tool (authorization announcement number CN220838914U), comprising a CNC machine tool body, an internal machine tool guide rail, a mounting base slidably connected to the outer side of the machine tool guide rail, a protective chamber fixed to the upper surface of the mounting base, a cleaning mechanism on the upper surface of the protective chamber, and a telescopic mechanism inside the mounting base. This retractable CNC machine tool incorporates a cleaning mechanism that, through the use of a fan, air nozzle, spray nozzle, and air outlet pipe, effectively removes metal impurities adhering to the machining tool. The airflow from the spray nozzle blows off the metal impurities, facilitating tool cleaning and solving the problem of not being able to clean metal impurities from the tool after use, thus hindering subsequent tool cleaning.
[0004] While the aforementioned CNC machine tool equipment can store the cutting tool and blow away debris, it sprays coolant during use, causing some water-soaked debris to adhere firmly and be difficult to blow off. Additionally, some debris, along with the cleaned-off debris, falls onto the screw that adjusts the tool's movement, affecting its transmission. Furthermore, the equipment lacks a structure for collecting and processing the cleaned debris, making subsequent cleaning inconvenient and relatively impractical. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a CNC machine tool with retractable cutting tools to solve the problems raised in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a CNC machine tool with retractable cutting tools, comprising a CNC machine tool body, a machine tool guide rail inside the CNC machine tool body, a slide block slidably connected to the outer wall of the machine tool guide rail, and the slide block having a hollow structure, a protective chamber above the slide block, a tool holder inside the protective chamber, a machining tool connected to one end of the tool holder, a lead screw rotatably mounted in the upper part of the slide block, a movable slider fitted on the outer side of the lead screw, and the upper end of the slider being connected to the tool holder, a drive motor connected to one end of the lead screw outside the slide block, a protective plate above the lead screw inside the slide block, the protective plate penetrating the slider, a filter frame embedded in the inner side of the lower part of the slide block, and one end of the filter frame extending outside the slide block, and a cleaning mechanism above the protective chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, the protective plate has an arc-shaped cross-section, and the protective plate and the lead screw are concentric. The protective plate is slidably connected to the slider to shield and protect the lead screw, preventing debris from falling into the grooves on the surface of the lead screw and thus affecting its transmission.
[0010] Furthermore, the filter frame and the slide are connected and fixed by magnetic attraction. The top surface of the slide is provided with a guide groove, which is connected to the inside of the slide. The upper end of the slider is located in the guide groove to fix the filter frame and facilitate its disassembly and removal for cleaning and collection of debris. The guide groove can also serve as a guide.

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.
[0022] Example: Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a CNC machine tool with retractable cutting tools, including a CNC machine tool body 1, a machine tool guide rail 2 inside the CNC machine tool body 1, a slide block 3 slidably connected to the outer wall of the machine tool guide rail 2, and the slide block 3 is a hollow structure, a protective chamber 4 is provided above the slide block 3, a tool holder 5 is provided inside the protective chamber 4, a machining tool 6 is connected to one end of the tool holder 5, a lead screw 7 is rotatably installed in the upper part of the slide block 3, a movable slider 8 is matched and sleeved on the outer side of the lead screw 7, and the upper end of the slider 8 is connected to the tool holder 5, a drive motor 9 is connected to one end of the lead screw 7 outside the slide block 3, a protective plate 10 is provided above the lead screw 7 inside the slide block 3, and the protective plate 10 passes through the slider 8, a filter frame 11 is embedded in the lower inner side of the slide block 3, and one end of the filter frame 11 extends to the outside of the slide block 3, and a cleaning mechanism is provided above the protective chamber 4.
[0023] In this example, the cleaning mechanism includes a blower 12, which is fixedly installed on the top of the protective chamber 4. A protective box communicating with the protective chamber 4 is provided on the right side of the protective chamber 4. A dual-axis motor 13 is fixedly installed inside the blower 12. A fan blade 14 is connected to the left output end of the dual-axis motor 13. One end of the blower 12 is connected to a spray nozzle 18 through a duct. The spray nozzle 18 is fixedly installed on the top side inside the protective chamber 4, and a spray head is connected to the lower end of the spray nozzle 18. A water spray assembly is installed inside the protective box at the right output end of the dual-axis motor 13. The cleaning mechanism can blow air onto the surface of the machining tool 6 when it is stored and moved to the inside of the protective chamber 4, thereby cleaning away the debris adhering to it. Combined with the water spray assembly, the machining tool 6 is rinsed and cleaned, improving the cleaning effect. In this example, the water spray assembly includes a crankshaft 15, which is rotatably mounted inside the protective housing. One end of the crankshaft 15 is fixedly connected to the output end on the right side of the dual-axis motor 13. The crankshaft 15 is movably connected to a push rod 17 via a connector 16. A pump cylinder 19 is fixedly mounted on one side wall of the protective chamber 4. A piston 20 is connected to the lower end of the push rod 17 inside the pump cylinder 19. A through groove is symmetrically opened on the top of the piston 20, and a one-way valve is provided in the through groove. A water inlet pipe 21 with a one-way valve is connected to the lower end of the pump cylinder 19, and the lower end of the water inlet pipe 21 is connected to the lower side of the slide block 3. A water outlet pipe communicating with the upper end of the pump cylinder 19 is provided at the top of the protective chamber 4, and a water spray head 23 is connected to one end of the water outlet pipe. The water spray assembly can share a power source with the drive fan blade 14, so that it can continuously draw water and spray it out to wash the processing tool 6.
[0024] In this example, the protective plate 10 has a circular arc cross-section, and the protective plate 10 and the lead screw 7 are concentric. The protective plate 10 is slidably connected to the slider 8 so as to shield and protect the lead screw 7 and prevent some debris from falling into the grooves on the surface of the lead screw 7, thereby affecting its transmission. In this example, the filter frame 11 and the slide 3 are connected and fixed by magnetic attraction. In this example, the magnetic attraction between the filter frame 11 and the slide 3 can be achieved by embedding magnets with opposite poles on the outer wall of the filter frame 11 and the inner wall of the groove in the slide 3 where the filter frame 11 is installed, or by embedding magnets on the outer wall of the filter frame 11 and providing metal material that attracts the magnets on the inner wall of the groove in the slide 3 where the filter frame 11 is installed. This uses magnets to fix the filter frame 11, making it easy to disassemble and install. The top surface of the slide 3 has a guide groove 22, which is connected to the inside of the slide 3. The upper end of the slider 8 is located in the guide groove 22 to fix the filter frame 11 and make it easy to disassemble and remove it for cleaning and collecting debris. The guide groove 22 also serves as a guide. In this example, the upper end of the connector 16 is rotatably connected to the crankshaft 15, the lower end of the connector 16 is hinged to the push rod 17, the outer wall of the piston 20 is fitted with a sealing ring, and the piston 20 is located below the opening at the end where the water outlet pipe is connected to the pump barrel 19, so as to improve the sealing between the piston 20 and the inner wall of the pump barrel 19.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the workpiece is processed using the CNC machine tool, in order to prevent workers from accidentally touching the tool and getting injured, the processing tool 6 needs to be stored in the protective chamber 4. By starting the drive motor 9, the connected lead screw 7 is rotated, thereby driving the slider 8 to move horizontally, which in turn moves the tool holder 5 and the processing tool 6 into the protective chamber 4. Then the drive motor 9 can be stopped to achieve the retraction of the tool. Then the dual-axis motor 13 is started to drive the fan blade 14 to rotate, which works with the air blower 18 and the air nozzle to blow away the debris adhering to the processing tool 6. At the same time, the dual-axis motor 13 also drives the crankshaft 15 to rotate, which drives the connecting part 16 to continuously push and pull the push rod 17 up and down, so that the push rod 17 drives the piston 20 to move synchronously. When the piston 20 When the piston moves from bottom to top, the one-way valve on the piston 20 closes and the one-way valve on the inlet pipe 21 opens, allowing water in the slide block 3 to be drawn and transported to the pump barrel 19 through the inlet pipe 21. When the piston 20 moves from top to bottom, the one-way valve on the piston 20 opens and the one-way valve on the inlet pipe 21 closes, allowing water below the piston 20 in the pump barrel 19 to move through the channel to above the piston 20. When the piston 20 moves up again, it pushes the water above it into the outlet pipe, which is then transported to the spray nozzle 23 for spraying, thereby rinsing the machining tool 6 and improving the cleaning effect. The debris cleaned by the air blowing and water spraying will flow into the slide block 3 under the guidance of the guide groove 22 and be screened and filtered by the filter frame 11 to separate the debris and water, allowing for water recycling and debris collection and treatment. It is convenient to use and more practical.
