Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of milling machine technology, and in particular relates to a device for slotting engine flywheels. Background Technology

[0002] A milling machine is a machine tool used for metal processing, primarily using a rotating cutting tool to cut workpieces. Milling machines are widely used in machinery manufacturing, mold making, the automotive industry, and other fields, and can be used for various machining methods such as planar milling, slot milling, and form milling.

[0003] However, during milling operations, the milling cutter will send metal chips from the flywheel flying out through the cutter. To solve this problem, many people install protective covers, but these covers are all around the worktable, and the flying metal chips will fall into any corner of the worktable, making the cleaning process troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows: a device for grooving an engine flywheel includes a mounting frame, a milling cutter, and a worktable, wherein the milling cutter is mounted on the mounting frame, and the mounting frame is mounted on the worktable;

[0005] The workbench is also equipped with a bottom sealing and protection structure, and the milling cutter is also equipped with a cleaning mechanism. When the milling cutter moves within the protective structure, the cleaning mechanism moves with the milling cutter within the protective structure to clean up waste chips.

[0006] The cleaning mechanism includes a nozzle and a connector. The milling cutter has an annular groove, and the nozzles are spaced apart in the annular groove. The connector is located on the milling cutter and communicates with the nozzles. The connector is also communicated with a water pipe.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it also includes a limiting cover, which is sleeved on the milling cutter and communicates with the nozzle. When the milling cutter is machining on the worktable, the water sprayed by the nozzle is obliquely splashed towards the milling cutter through the limiting cover.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting cover includes a horn cover, which is sleeved on the milling cutter and communicates with the nozzle.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the protective mechanism includes a protective cover and a clamp. The clamp is installed on the inner wall of the protective cover. The inner walls of the protective cover are provided with interlayers. A drive mechanism for driving the clamp to abut against the flywheel is installed in the interlayers of the protective cover.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving mechanism includes an electric push rod, which is installed in the interlayer and the output end of the electric push rod passes through the interlayer and is connected to the clamp.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a rubber pad is attached to one end of the clamp near the flywheel, and the clamp rests against the flywheel through the rubber pad.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lower inner wall of the protective cover is further provided with a slide rail, and the clamp is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This utility model features a sealed bottom protective cover with a clamp design that limits the flywheel inside the cover. This allows the protective cover to be easily washed after processing without damaging the internal electronic components of the equipment, and also protects the operator.

[0015] When the clamps press against the flywheel using the rubber pads, scratches can easily be left, causing wear to the flywheel. The spacing of the rubber pads can provide some protection for the flywheel.

[0016] The horn cover and nozzles are designed to work in conjunction with the structure of the horn cover to spray water in a sprinkler-like pattern to clean the inside of the protective cover. During processing, waste chips tend to adhere to the corners and other hard-to-reach areas on the inner wall of the protective cover, making them difficult to clean manually. The horn cover and nozzles, moving vertically with the milling cutter, can clean the inner wall of the protective cover vertically, causing the waste chips to accumulate at the bottom of the protective cover for centralized cleaning. Without the horn cover, the sprayed water would splash upwards, making cleaning around the milling machine table difficult and potentially damaging electronic components. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To further understand the utility model content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides an engine flywheel grooving device, including a mounting frame 1, a milling cutter 2 and a worktable 3. The milling cutter 2 is mounted on the mounting frame 1, and the mounting frame 1 is mounted on the worktable 3. The milling cutter 2 includes a drive mechanism for driving its movement, including a pneumatic cylinder, etc.

[0026] The worktable 3 is also equipped with a bottom-sealed protective structure, and the milling cutter 2 is also equipped with a cleaning mechanism. When the milling cutter 2 moves within the protective structure, the cleaning mechanism moves along with the milling cutter 2 to clean up waste chips. The cleaning mechanism is mounted on the milling cutter 2, which is also driven by a drive mechanism. Therefore, the cleaning mechanism moves along with the movement of the milling cutter 2.

[0027] The cleaning mechanism includes a nozzle 4 and a connection port 5. An annular groove 6 is provided on the milling cutter 2. The nozzles 4 are arranged at intervals in the annular groove 6. The connection port 5 is provided on the milling cutter 2 and is connected to the nozzle 4 and the connection port 5 is connected to the water pipe.

[0028] The bottom sealing and protective structure works in conjunction with the cleaning mechanism to allow the debris on the inner wall of the protective structure to be cleaned and accumulated on the base, facilitating manual cleaning later. The connection port 5 is used for water pipe connection, and the nozzle 4 is supplied with water for spraying through the connection port 5. The annular groove 6 is set so that the nozzle 4 is located inside the annular groove 6, and the length of the nozzle 4 is less than the depth of the annular groove 6, which can protect the nozzle 4 to a certain extent.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a limiting cover is also included. The limiting cover is sleeved on the milling cutter 2 and communicates with the nozzle 4. When the milling cutter 2 is processing on the worktable 3, the water sprayed by the nozzle 4 is tilted and splashed towards the milling cutter 2 through the limiting cover.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the limiting cover includes a horn cover 7, which is sleeved on the milling cutter 2 and communicates with the nozzle 4. The horn cover 7 is connected to the nozzle 4 because the largest opening surface of the horn cover 7 is also provided with multiple circumferentially arranged nozzles to limit the spraying angle of the nozzle 4, preventing wastewater from splashing when the nozzle 4 cleans the surface of the protective cover 8 horizontally, which would cause the workbench 3 to become dirty and messy, and also make it easy for wastewater to splash into the electronic components. This can protect them to a certain extent.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the protective mechanism includes a protective cover 8 and a clamp 9. The clamp 9 is installed on the inner wall of the protective cover 8. The inner walls of the protective cover 8 are provided with interlayers 10. A drive mechanism for driving the clamp 9 to abut against the flywheel is installed in the interlayers 10 of the protective cover 8. The drive mechanism is installed on the inner wall of the interlayers 10. The main drive mechanism is used to drive the clamp 9 to move closer to or away from the flywheel.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the drive mechanism includes an electric push rod 11, which is installed in the interlayer 10. The output end of the electric push rod 11 passes through the interlayer 10 and is connected to the clamp 9. The drive mechanism also includes a hydraulic cylinder, the output end of which is connected to the clamp 9 and is installed in the interlayer 10. Electric push rods 11 are installed on all four sides of the inner wall of the protective cover 8 in the interlayer 10 to drive multiple clamps 9 to abut against the outer wall of the flywheel, thereby improving the stability of the structure.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rubber pad 12 is attached to one end of the clamp 9 near the flywheel. The clamp 9 rests against the flywheel through the rubber pad 12, which is used to reduce scratches and other wear caused when the clamp 9 rests against the flywheel.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lower inner wall of the protective cover 8 is also provided with a slide rail 13, and the clamp 9 is slidably connected to the slide rail 13. The slide rail 13 is provided to ensure the travel trajectory of the clamp 9. Without the slide rail 13, the electric push rod 11 may deviate after long-term use, which will cause the clamp 9 to not fit against the flywheel.

[0035] A support rod is connected to the clamp 9, and the clamp 9 is connected to the slide rail 13 through the support rod.

[0036] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0037] 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.
