Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a simple, efficient, and low-cost electric guitar body processing device that prevents paint chipping during the processing.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes an electric guitar body processing device.

[0006] Preferably, the present invention may also have the following technical features:

[0007] An electric guitar body machining device includes a milling machine, a worktable, and an electric guitar fixture. The milling machine includes a first machining head assembly, a mounting plate, a frame, a first Z-axis slide rail assembly, an X-axis slide rail assembly, and a Y-axis slide rail assembly. The first machining head assembly is slidably mounted on the mounting plate via the first Z-axis slide rail assembly, and the mounting plate is mounted on the frame via the X-axis slide rail assembly. The worktable is located below the first machining head assembly, and the electric guitar fixture is slidably mounted on the worktable via the Y-axis slide rail assembly. The device also includes a second machining head assembly and a second Z-axis slide rail assembly. The second machining head assembly has the same structure as the first machining head assembly and is slidably mounted on the side of the mounting plate via the second Z-axis slide rail assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, the machining tool is a double-edged straight tool.

[0009] Furthermore, the machining tool of the first machining head assembly is a left-handed double-edged straight cutter, and the machining tool of the second machining head assembly is a metric straight cutter.

[0010] Furthermore, the electric guitar clamp includes a sliding plate, and a positioning plate, a first limiting post, a second limiting post, and rubber pads mounted on the sliding plate. The sliding plate is adapted to the shape of the electric guitar to restrict the electric guitar from moving to the upper left, left, and lower left. The first and second limiting posts are mounted on the right side of the positioning plate, and the second limiting post is located to the upper right of the first limiting post. A plurality of rubber pads are arranged in the area surrounded by the positioning plate, the first limiting post, and the second limiting post.

[0011] Furthermore, the adhesive pad is an adhesive strip.

[0012] Furthermore, the padding material is rubber.

[0013] Furthermore, the sliding plate is provided with a pad with the same outline as the bridge mounting groove at the position opposite to the mounting groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the padding adhesive is attached to the sliding plate with glue.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a quick-connect fitting, one end of which is fixed to the sliding plate, and the other end of which is connected to a vent tube.

[0016] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art include: using two processing head components to mill the bridge mounting groove, the paint surface around the milled mounting groove is straight, and there will be no paint chipping, which improves the processing quality, reduces the rework painting process, and significantly improves work efficiency and product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the main structure of this utility model.

[0018] Figure 2 This is a top view schematic diagram of the electric guitar clamp of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be emphasized that the following description is merely exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope and application of the present invention.

[0020] Non-limiting and non-exclusive embodiments will be described with reference to the following figures, wherein the same reference numerals denote the same parts unless otherwise specifically stated.

[0021] like Figures 1-2The diagram illustrates a guitar body machining device, comprising a milling machine, a worktable 87, and a guitar fixture. The milling machine includes a first machining head assembly 5, a mounting plate 7, a frame 1, a first Z-axis slide rail assembly 6, and an X-axis slide rail assembly 2. The first machining head assembly 5 is slidably mounted on the mounting plate 7 via the first Z-axis slide rail assembly 6, and the mounting plate 7 is slidably mounted on the frame 1 via the X-axis slide rail assembly 2. The worktable 87 is located below the first machining head assembly 5, and the guitar fixture is slidably mounted on the worktable 87 via the Y-axis slide rail assembly 86, enabling the first machining head assembly 5 to machine the bridge mounting groove on the guitar body in the X, Y, and Z axes. As an improvement, a second machining head assembly 3 and a second Z-axis slide rail assembly 4 are also included. The second machining head assembly 3 has the same structure as the first machining head assembly 5 and is slidably mounted on the right side of the mounting plate 7 via the second Z-axis slide rail assembly 4. Specifically, the first machining head assembly 5 includes a driver and a machining tool. The driver drives the machining tool to rotate and mill the surface of the guitar body, creating the bridge mounting groove. The bridge mounting groove is machined only after the piano body is painted. Previously, this was done manually, which was inefficient and couldn't guarantee consistent product quality. Later, a single cutting tool on a CNC milling machine was used to machine the mounting groove, but the paint chipping and jagged edges continued to occur during the machining process. Although the machining efficiency was high, touch-up painting was required. This embodiment uses two machining head components (3,5) to mill the bridge mounting groove. The milled mounting groove has a straight paint surface around its edges, preventing paint chipping, improving machining quality, reducing repainting steps, and significantly improving work efficiency and product quality. During operation, the first machining head component 5 is used to mill half of the mounting groove, and then the second machining head component 3 is used to mill the other half, that is, two machining tools (31,51) are used to complete the machining of the mounting groove. Using two machining tools to mill the mounting groove avoids the excessive processing time of a single machining tool, which increases the risk of paint chipping on the piano body.

[0022] Preferably, the machining tool is a double-edged straight tool. More specifically, the machining tool 51 of the first machining head assembly 5 is a left-handed double-edged straight tool, and the machining tool 31 of the second machining head assembly 3 is an extended straight tool or a metric straight tool.

[0023] The electric guitar clamp includes a sliding plate 85, and a positioning plate 81, a first limiting post 83, a second limiting post 84, and a pad 88 mounted on the sliding plate 85. The sliding plate 85 is adapted to the shape of the electric guitar to restrict its movement to the upper left, left, and lower left. The first limiting post 83 and the second limiting post 84 are mounted on the right side of the positioning plate 81, with the second limiting post 84 located to the upper right of the first limiting post 83. The first limiting post 83 restricts the electric guitar from moving downwards, further preventing it from moving to the lower right during processing. The second limiting post 84 restricts the electric guitar from moving to the right. The pad 88 is arranged within the area surrounded by the positioning plate 81, the first limiting post 83, and the second limiting post 84 to separate the electric guitar from the sliding plate 85, preventing friction and scratching of the guitar's finish during processing. The rubber pad 88 is preferably made of rubber strips with low elasticity. Furthermore, a sufficient area of ​​rubber pad 88 should be used to further reduce the risk of deformation under pressure. Therefore, when arranging the rubber pad 88, the bridge mounting groove is aligned with the sliding plate 85, and the rubber pad is pasted along the contour of the mounting groove, making the rubber pad 881 rectangular. Simultaneously, the rubber pad 88 also increases the frictional resistance for horizontal displacement of the electric guitar. Each positioning plate 84 corresponds to a type of electric guitar model and is fixed to the sliding plate 85 with bolts. This embodiment does not use a full-coverage electric guitar clamp, making clamp processing simpler and more convenient. Moreover, the placement of the rubber pad 88 can be adjusted to accommodate different electric guitars, offering flexibility and strong adaptability.

[0024] It also includes a quick-connect connector 82, one end of which is fixed to the sliding plate 85, and the other end of which is connected to a vent pipe 89. Wood chips will be generated during the machining of the mounting slot. After machining is completed, the vent pipe 89 is pulled out to blow away the wood chips on the electric guitar and the sliding plate 5.

[0025] Those skilled in the art will recognize that numerous variations are possible with respect to the above description, and the embodiments and figures are merely for describing one or more specific implementations.

[0026] Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and substitutions can be made thereto without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, many modifications can be made to adapt specific situations to the doctrine of the present invention without departing from the central concept of the present invention described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but may include all embodiments and equivalents that fall within the scope of the present invention.
