DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] In order to make the purpose, characteristics and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the technical scheme of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the specific embodiments. Obviously, the following described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the patent, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the patent.
[0031] In the prior art, the numerical control gantry boring and milling machining center comprises a cross beam 1 in the Y-axis direction (left and right) and a slide plate 2, the cross beam 1 is provided with screw rod seats 14 at both ends, ball screws 13 are installed between the two screw rod seats 14, the ball screws 13 comprise screw rods and screw nuts connected and installed with the slide plate 2, the screw nuts and the screw rods are in threaded cooperation; the slide plate 2 is provided with a slide block which can be adjusted along the Z-axis direction, and a machining tool head is installed at the lower end of the slide block.
[0032] As shown in Figures 1-4 The utility model discloses a numerical control gantry boring and milling machining center slide plate ball screw supporting device, the supporting device includes the installation seat 33 connected with the cross beam 1, the installation seat 33 is connected with the hydraulic cylinder 31 in the X-axis direction, the hydraulic cylinder 31 is connected with the support seat 32 that slides and telescopes (X-axis direction) is installed in the installation seat 33, and one end of the support seat 32 away from the hydraulic cylinder 31 can support the middle part of the screw rod.
[0033] The telescopic action of the hydraulic cylinder 31 is controlled through the hydraulic system 38, so that the telescopic adjustment of the support seat 32 in the installation seat 33 is realized, and flexible support of the screw rod is realized; when the slide plate 2 works at both ends, the support seat 32 is driven out by the hydraulic cylinder 31, and four-point support of the screw rod is realized through the screw rod seats 14 at both ends, the slide plate 2 (the sliding block cooperates with the static pressure guide rail 12) and the support seat 32; when the slide plate 2 works near the supporting device 3 (the middle segment of the cross beam 1), the hydraulic cylinder 31 is retracted, and three-point support of the screw rod is realized through the screw rod seats 14 at both ends and the slide plate 2 (the sliding block cooperates with the static pressure guide rail 12); the unsupported span of the screw rod is greatly reduced, the deformation of the screw rod is reduced, the stability of the screw rod is increased, the transmission efficiency is improved, and the machining precision of the workpiece is improved. The overall structure is simple, easy to realize and good in practicality.
[0034] The end (front end) of the support seat 32 close to the screw rod is provided with a support pad 36 capable of abutting and supporting the screw rod. The screw rod is effectively prevented from being abraded by abutting and supporting the screw rod through the support pad 36, the support pad 36 can be made of rubber and is a disposable consumable, which can be directly replaced when damaged.
[0035] Furthermore, the support base 32 has a notch along its upper edge near the lead screw (front end) that fits the lead screw, and a horizontal support pad 36 is provided at the bottom of the notch. The horizontal support pad 36 at the bottom of the notch can effectively achieve reliable and stable support for the lead screw and reduce deformation.
[0036] Furthermore, an inclined support pad 36 is provided on the rear side of the notch. The inclined support pad 36 forms a 15-degree angle with the horizontal and can provide oblique upward support for the lead screw. This achieves two-way abutment support for the lead screw, improving the reliability and stability of the support.
[0037] The mounting base 33 contains a connecting sleeve 34 that guides the support base 32 in a sliding manner, thus achieving precise sliding guidance of the support base 32 (in the X-axis direction).
[0038] The mounting base 33 has a cylindrical structure, with a connecting plate 35 connected to its end away from the lead screw (rear end). The front end of the hydraulic cylinder 31 is positioned and connected to the connecting plate 35, and the telescopic axis of the hydraulic cylinder 31 slides forward through the connecting plate 35. This ensures a reliable connection and installation of the hydraulic cylinder 31, and effectively guarantees a sufficiently long telescopic stroke for the support base 32.
[0039] The mounting base 33 is equipped with a limit switch 37 to limit the extension and retraction of the support base 32. The limit switch 37 detects and limits the extension and retraction of the support base 32 to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the support base 32 in supporting the lead screw, and to ensure that the support base 32 retracts into place.
[0040] The crossbeam 1 is equipped with a limit switch 39 for detecting the position of the slide 2. This enables automated control, improves the reliability and convenience of operation, and avoids interference between the support 32 and the nut on the slide 2.
[0041] The crossbeam 1 includes a beam body 11, on which two (upper and lower) hydrostatic guide rails 12 are arranged along its length to guide the sliding plate 2 (on which a slider is mounted). A pressure plate 15 is mounted on the slide plate 2 to compress and brake the hydrostatic guide rails 12. By pushing the pressure plate 15 forward (equivalent to a brake pad) through a braking device, the pressure plate 15 is tightly fitted against the rear side of the hydrostatic guide rail 12, thus achieving the braking effect.
[0042] The specific steps for using it are as follows (taking right to left as an example):
[0043] S1: Slide 2 moves from right to left. When the left side of slide 2 enters the auxiliary support return area ( Figure 4 When the right side (S1) is in the middle, the limit switch 39 detects a signal, and the control system issues a command to retract the auxiliary support (support seat 32). The hydraulic cylinder 31 retracts, causing the support seat 32 to disconnect from the lead screw.
[0044] S2: Slide 2 continues to move to the left, when it enters the area where the auxiliary support has no return and requires emergency braking ( Figure 4 When the right side (S2) is in the middle, if the limit switch 37 does not have a return signal, it means that the auxiliary support (support seat 32) has not returned correctly. The control system will issue a braking command and brake the slide (by pressing the static pressure guide rail 12 through the pressure plate 15). If the limit switch 37 has a return signal, it means that the auxiliary support has returned. The slide 2 will continue to move to the left.
[0045] S3: Slide 2 continues to move to the left, when slide 2 leaves the left auxiliary support and returns to the area ( Figure 4 When the left side (S1) is in the middle, the limit switch 39 signal disappears, the control system issues an auxiliary support command, and the support seat 32 extends to contact the lead screw for support.
[0046] This CNC gantry milling machining center's slide ball screw support device uses a hydraulic system 38 to control the extension and retraction of a hydraulic cylinder 31, thereby adjusting the extension and retraction of the support seat 32 on the mounting base 33 and providing flexible support for the screw. When the slide 2 is working at both ends, the hydraulic cylinder 31 drives the support seat 32 to extend, achieving four-point support for the screw through the screw seats 14 at both ends, the slide 2 (with the slider and hydrostatic guide rail 12), and the support seat 32. When the slide 2 is working near the support device 3 (the middle section of the crossbeam 1), the hydraulic cylinder 31 retracts, achieving three-point support for the screw through the screw seats 14 at both ends and the slide 2 (with the slider and hydrostatic guide rail 12). This significantly reduces the unsupported span of the screw, reduces screw deformation, increases screw stability, improves transmission efficiency, and enhances workpiece machining accuracy. The overall structure is simple, easy to implement, and highly practical.
