Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, specifically to a feeding mechanism for CNC equipment and an automatic CNC machine. Background Technology

[0002] During automatic CNC machining, when the fixture pallet transfers the machined workpiece to the pallet carrier, the workpiece will have debris and liquid on it because the workpiece will generate debris during machining and needs to be cooled with coolant. After being transferred to the corresponding pallet carrier, the liquid and debris will still be present, which will result in liquid and debris dripping or falling onto the corresponding pallet carrier.

[0003] The dual mounting rails of the drive unit on the existing vehicle are usually installed on the pallet plate, which makes the space under the drive unit and between the two rails small. When continuous processing is carried out, the amount of debris and liquid in the space between the two rails increases, which causes accumulation and is difficult to clean. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies that are difficult to clean, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding mechanism for CNC equipment and an automatic CNC machine that is easy to clean.

[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0018] Each of the said cohesive liquid tanks is located near one of the said support plates;

[0019] Each of the internal drain ports is placed in one of the cohesive liquid tanks.

[0020] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism for CNC equipment further includes a liquid-blocking component to prevent liquid from flowing onto the ground and becoming difficult to clean.

[0021] In some embodiments, the liquid-blocking element is a vertical plate surrounding the outer edge of the tray carrier.

[0022] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an automatic CNC machine, including a machine body, a second drive device, and a second loading structure; the second loading structure is mounted on the machine body, and the second loading structure moves on the machine body via the second drive device;

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] 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 technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0037] For ease of description of the first, second, and third directions in the embodiments of this application, the first direction is the left-right direction in the figures, the second direction is the front-back direction in the figures, and the third direction is the up-down direction in the figures. The x-axis arrow direction is referred to as the "right" direction, the y-axis arrow direction as the "up" direction, and the z-axis arrow direction as the "back" direction, but these are not the sole limitations in the actual application of this application.

[0038] like Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment provides a feeding mechanism for CNC equipment, which includes a pallet carrier plate 110, a support plate 120, a mounting part 130, and a first driving device 260; two support plates 120 are disposed on the pallet carrier plate 110 for placing a fixture pallet 250; the mounting part 130 is disposed on one of the support plates 120; the first driving device 260 is mounted on the mounting part 130 and is used to drive the fixture pallet 250 to move. In other words, when the fixture pallet 250 transfers the processed workpiece to the pallet carrier plate 110, the workpiece will contain debris and liquid due to the debris generated during processing and the need for coolant cooling. After being transferred to the pallet carrier plate 110, the liquid and debris will still be present, resulting in liquid and debris dripping or falling onto the pallet carrier plate 110. During continuous processing, the amount of debris and liquid between the two support plates 120 increases. The mounting part 130 positions the first drive device 260 on the support plate 120, creating a gap between the first drive device 260 and the pallet carrier plate 110. This gap facilitates the cleaning of liquid and debris located under the first drive device 260, preventing excessive accumulation from affecting the normal operation of the feeding mechanism.

[0039] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, two support plates 120 are respectively placed on both sides of the pallet carrier plate 110. By placing two support plates 120 on both sides of the pallet carrier plate 110, the clamping pallet 250 can be placed on the two support plates 120, which helps to ensure the stability of the clamping pallet 250.

[0040] like Figure 1-2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting part 130 ensures that the distance between the first driving device 260 and the tray carrier 110 is 30mm-50mm; the first driving device 260 is spaced from the other support plate 120. By using a distance of 30mm-50mm between the first driving device 260 and the tray carrier 110, it is convenient to place a cleaning device within the gap between the first driving device 260 and the tray carrier 110 during cleaning, thus cleaning liquids and debris within the gap; similarly, the gap between the first driving device 260 and the other support plate 120 also facilitates the cleaning of liquids and debris from the tray carrier 110.

[0041] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism for the CNC equipment also includes a discharge mechanism 150, which is used for cleaning the tray carrier 110 under the first drive device 260. That is, when cleaning liquids and debris on the tray carrier 110, they are discharged through the discharge mechanism 150, thus speeding up the cleaning efficiency.

[0042] like Figure 2-3As shown, in this embodiment, the discharge mechanism 150 includes an inner cohesive liquid tank 152 and an inner drain port 151. The inner cohesive liquid tank 152 is disposed on the pallet carrier plate 110, and the inner drain port 151 is located at the bottom of the inner cohesive liquid tank 152. The inner cohesive liquid tank 152 is used to collect the liquid on the pallet carrier plate 110 and allow it to flow out through the inner drain port 151. That is, when cleaning, the liquid and debris on the support carrier plate are first swept into the inner cohesive liquid tank 152, and the liquid is discharged through the drain port. Then, the debris is discharged through the drain port by adding water for rinsing, making the cleaning more convenient.

[0043] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner drain port 151 is located in the middle of the inner cohesion tank 152, and the depth of the inner cohesion tank 152 at both ends is less than the depth of the inner cohesion tank 152 at the inner drain port 151. By making the depth of the inner cohesion tank 152 at both ends less than the depth of the inner cohesion tank 152 at the inner drain port 151, a slope is formed from both ends of the inner cohesion tank 152 to the inner drain port 151, so that the liquid flowing into the inner cohesion tank 152 is discharged in a timely manner through the inner drain port 151.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two cohesive liquid tanks 152 and two internal drain ports 151; each cohesive liquid tank 152 is located near a support plate 120; each internal drain port 151 is placed inside a cohesive liquid tank 152. That is, using two cohesive liquid tanks 152 and two internal drain ports 151 for the discharge of debris and liquid can both accelerate cleaning efficiency and prevent the problem of being unable to clean after a single blockage.

[0045] like Figure 1-2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism for the CNC equipment also includes a liquid-blocking component 140, which is used to prevent liquid from flowing onto the ground and becoming difficult to clean. The liquid-blocking component 140 is a vertical plate that surrounds the outer edge of the pallet carrier plate 110. The design of the liquid-blocking component 140 can prevent liquid or rinsing water used for cleaning from flowing out of the pallet carrier plate 110 during cleaning.

[0046] like Figure 5As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic CNC machine 200, including a machine body 210, a second drive device 220, and a second loading structure 230; the second loading structure 230 is installed on the machine body 210 and moves on the machine body 210 via the second drive device 220; the second loading structure 230 includes a heavy-duty bracket 240, a fixture tray 250, and a feeding mechanism for the CNC equipment; the heavy-duty bracket 240 is installed on the machine body 210, the tray carrier plate 110 is installed on the heavy-duty bracket 240, the fixture tray 250 is placed on the support plate 120 and moves, and the first drive device 260 drives the fixture tray 250 to move in and out of the machine body 210. In other words, when the fixture pallet 250 transfers the processed workpiece to the pallet carrier plate 110, the workpiece will contain debris and liquid due to the debris generated during processing and the need for coolant cooling. After being transferred to the pallet carrier plate 110, the liquid and debris will still be present, resulting in liquid and debris dripping or falling onto the pallet carrier plate 110. During continuous processing, the amount of debris and liquid between the two support plates 120 increases. The first drive device 260 is located on the support plate 120, and there is a gap between the first drive device 260 and the pallet carrier plate 110. When cleaning, it is convenient to place the cleaning device in the gap between the first drive device 260 and the pallet carrier plate 110 to clean the liquid and debris in the gap. The gap arrangement also prevents the liquid and debris located under the first drive device 260 from accumulating in large quantities and affecting operation.

[0047] In summary, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for CNC equipment and an automatic CNC machine. The first driving device is installed on the support plate via the mounting part, so that the first driving device is separated from the pallet carrier. When cleaning, it is convenient to put the cleaning device between the first driving device and the pallet carrier to clean up liquids and debris.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
