Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of indexing plate technology, specifically a horizontal indexing plate. Background Technology
[0002] Horizontal indexing plates are a common type of indexing plate. Their main characteristic is their horizontal placement, a design that offers unique advantages during operation and machining. In machining, horizontal indexing plates provide stable support and precise angular indexing for the workpiece. For example, when machining larger or heavier workpieces, their horizontal structure results in a lower center of gravity, better stability, and reduced vibration and errors during machining. Furthermore, horizontal indexing plates can easily coordinate with other machine tools for multi-station machining, achieving efficient production processes. For instance, in the production of automotive parts, complex parts can undergo multi-angle drilling and milling. Additionally, the precision adjustment and maintenance of horizontal indexing plates are relatively convenient. Their structural design makes it easier for operators to access and operate key components, facilitating routine maintenance and troubleshooting.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN217668263U discloses a horizontal CNC machining indexing plate, relating to the field of CNC indexing plate technology. This utility model includes an indexing plate body and a base plate. A support column is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a U-shaped frame is connected to the support column. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the indexing plate body. The fixed frame and the U-shaped frame are connected via a rotating structure. The top of the base plate is provided with a pushing mechanism to rotate the fixed frame and adjust the tilt angle of the indexing plate body. The rotating structure includes a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame, and the second rotating shaft passes through the first rotating shaft and is rotatably connected to the fixed frame. This horizontal CNC machining indexing plate allows for tilt angle adjustment in the front-back and left-right directions, enabling the indexing plate body to tilt in a preset direction. This convenient adjustment saves manpower and broadens the applicability of the indexing plate.
[0004] However, this device also has the following drawbacks:
[0005] During the processing, dust, chips, and other impurities may enter the indexing plate. After long-term use, this may cause wear, poor meshing, or damage to components such as transmission gears and racks, directly leading to uneven rotation or inaccurate indexing, affecting its normal operation and reducing the service life of the indexing plate. This device does not effectively solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0023] A horizontal indexing plate includes an indexing plate body 1, which includes a base 101. A turntable 102 is rotatably mounted on the top of the base 101. A cylinder 103 for pushing the turntable 102 to rotate is provided on one side of the base 101. The cylinder 103 is fixedly connected to the base 101. A mounting plate 10 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the base 101. The mounting plate 10 has mounting holes 11 for fixing the base 101.
[0024] By setting cylinder 103, the turntable 102 can be driven to rotate through other structures inside the base 101, which makes it easier for operators to adjust the turntable 102, reducing the labor intensity of operators. Furthermore, by setting mounting plate 10 and mounting holes 11, it is easy for operators to install and fix the device.
[0025] It also includes a protective component to prevent dust, chips and other impurities from entering the interior of the indexing plate body 1. The protective component includes a fixing ring 2 and a protective cover 3. The protective cover 3 is located on the outside of the gap between the turntable 102 and the base 101. The protective cover 3 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 2. A scraper 5 is provided inside the protective cover 3. Brush bristles 6 are fixedly installed on the surface of the scraper 5. Multiple sets of scraper 5 are provided. The scraper 5 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 3. One end of the brush bristles 6 abuts against the surface of the turntable 102 and the base 101. The protective component also includes a collection groove 9. The collection groove 9 is located at the bottom of the protective cover 3 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective cover 3.
[0026] By setting up a protective cover 3, the gap between the turntable 102 and the base 101 can be shielded and protected, reducing the entry of dust, chips and other impurities into the indexing plate body 1, thus improving the service life of the indexing plate body 1. By setting up scrapers 5 and brush bristles 6 inside the protective cover 3, the entry of dust, chips and other impurities into the indexing plate body 1 can be further reduced, and dust, chips and other impurities in the gap between the turntable 102 and the base 101 can be brushed away, preventing impurities from accumulating at the connection between the turntable 102 and the base 101, thereby ensuring that the indexing plate body 1 can operate normally and further improving its service life. By setting up a collection groove 9, dust, chips and other impurities that slide down the surface of the turntable 102 during the processing can be collected, making it convenient for operators to clean them centrally, while reducing environmental pollution.
[0027] The fixing ring 2 is fixed to the turntable 102 by four sets of fixing screws 4. The top of the turntable 102 is provided with a first slot 7 around the perimeter, and the bottom of the fixing ring 2 is provided with a second slot 8. The first slot 7 and the second slot 8 are engaged with each other.
[0028] By setting the first slot 7 and the second slot 8, it is easy for the operator to align the fixture and the turntable 102, thereby facilitating the installation of the fixing screw 4. At the same time, the first slot 7 and the second slot 8 cooperate with each other to ensure that there is a certain distance between the protective cover 3 and the indexing plate body 1, preventing the protective cover 3 from excessively rubbing against the indexing plate body 1.
[0029] In practical use, move the device to the designated position, fix the base 101 in the installation position through the mounting plate 10 and mounting holes 11, move the fixing ring 2 and the protective cover 3, align the second slot 8 with the first slot 7 and snap it downwards, then rotate the fixing ring 2 to align with the screw holes, and use external tools to screw in the four sets of fixing screws 4 to fix the fixing ring 2 and the turntable 102. Dust, chips and other impurities generated during processing slide off the turntable 102. Some slide along the surface of the protective cover 3 into the collection groove 9, and some impurities may enter between the protective cover 3 and the base 101. As the turntable 102 rotates, it drives the fixing ring 2 and the protective cover 3 to rotate, thereby causing the scraper 5 and brush bristles 6 to rotate and move, and the impurities on the surface of the base 101 are brushed away.
[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
