Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protection technology for vertical machining centers, specifically an armor cover for vertical machining centers. Background Technology
[0002] A vertical machining center is a multi-functional machine tool for machining workpieces. It achieves milling operations through a vertically arranged spindle structure, with the spindle axis perpendicular to the worktable. Vertical machining centers are highly automated CNC machine tools, equipped with a tool magazine and automatic tool changer, capable of performing various operations such as milling, boring, drilling, tapping, and thread cutting.
[0003] During the machining process of a workpiece using a vertical machining center, protective covers are added to the surface of the machining center due to the possible splashing of debris. Currently available protective covers are made of strong rubber and insulating coils through hot pressing, sewing, and folding. They are resistant to being stepped on and impacted by hard objects, and can provide good protection when used in conjunction with a vertical machining center.
[0004] For example, an oil stain collection column armor cover device with application number 202320364530.9 completely surrounds the guide rails on the column with a protective sheet metal. The guide groove, in conjunction with the armor cover structure, facilitates the vertical up-and-down movement of the armor cover on the protective sheet metal, thereby allowing for easy adjustment of the armor cover's position and convenient protection of the lead screw gauges at different locations. Additionally, an oil-saving box located below the armor cover facilitates oil-water separation. However, this device still has certain shortcomings.
[0005] The armor cover is fixed to the equipment for protection, but it is not easy to remove the armor cover. When the equipment needs to be repaired, the armor cover will obstruct the work and increase the difficulty of repair.
[0006] Therefore, we propose an armor cover for vertical machining centers to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an armor cover for a vertical machining center, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, where the armor cover is fixed to the equipment for protection, which is not convenient to disassemble. When the equipment needs to be repaired, the armor cover has a certain obstructing effect, thereby increasing the difficulty of equipment repair.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an armor cover for a vertical machining center, comprising a vertical machining center body and an armor cover body. Guide slide rods are installed on both the left and right sides of the front surface of the vertical machining center body via fixing blocks, and threaded rods are installed at the bottom of the guide slide rods. Limiting threaded sleeves are installed below the threaded rods. Slider blocks are sleeved on the guide slide rods, and the armor cover body is installed on the front surface of the sliders.
[0009] The upper end of the armor cover body is equipped with a positioning block, and the positioning block has a positioning groove inside. The upper surface of the vertical machining center body is equipped with a support plate, and the lower surface of the support plate is equipped with a limit block. The left and right sides of the limit block are equipped with connecting plates through telescopic springs, and the opposite side of the connecting plate is equipped with a sliding frame. The opposite side of the connecting plate is equipped with a snap-fit block. The upper surface of the support plate is equipped with a groove, and the inside of the groove is equipped with a column. The column is fitted with a movable component. The left and right sides of the support plate are equipped with sliding grooves.
[0010] Preferably, the fixing block is located above the rear side of the guide slide rod, and the slider is slidably connected to the guide slide rod. There are four sliders in total, two of which are located above the rear side of the armor cover body, and two of which are located below the rear side of the armor cover body. The armor cover body has a telescopic structure design.
[0011] With the above structural design, when using the armor cover body, the armor cover body can be pulled upwards. The armor cover body can move along the guide rod via a slider, thereby making the pulling and retracting of the armor cover body more stable.
[0012] Preferably, the center line of the limiting threaded sleeve coincides with the center line of the threaded rod, and the limiting threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the threaded rod.
[0013] With the above structural design, when it is necessary to disassemble the armor cover body, simply rotate the limiting threaded sleeve and put the limiting threaded sleeve on the threaded rod for disassembly. Then, the slider can move downward along the guide slide rod under the action of gravity, disengage from the guide slide rod, thereby driving the armor cover body to disengage from the guide slide rod, completing the disassembly of the armor cover body, which facilitates the maintenance of the vertical machining center body.
[0014] Preferably, the positioning block is equipped with an anti-slip ring, which is fixedly connected to the positioning block. The lower surface of the limiting block is designed with an open structure, and the center line of the limiting block coincides with the center line of the positioning block. The positioning block can be embedded in the limiting block.
[0015] With the above structural design, when the vertical machining center body is machining the workpiece, the positioning block can be pulled by the anti-slip ring, and the positioning block will drive the armor cover body to extend upward, so that the positioning block moves into the inside of the limit block.
[0016] Preferably, the upper surface of the snap-fit block is designed with a horizontal structure, the lower surface of the snap-fit block is designed with an arc-shaped structure, and the snap-fit block and the limiting block are slidably connected.
[0017] With the above structural design, when the positioning block moves into the interior of the limiting block, it can push the locking block to move in the opposite direction. At this time, the telescopic spring is in a compressed state. When the positioning groove in the positioning block moves to be flush with the locking block, the locking block moves relative to the positioning groove in the positioning block under the action of the telescopic spring, thereby locking the locking block with the positioning groove in the positioning block, thus completing the fixing of the positioning block, and thus completing the fixing of the armor cover body on the positioning block.
[0018] Preferably, the movable component is slidably connected to the column, and the side of the movable component that can abut against the sliding frame has an arc-shaped structure design.
[0019] With the above structural design, when the armor cover body needs to be retracted, the movable component is pulled upwards. The movable component moves upwards until it abuts against the sliding frame and pushes the sliding frame to move in the opposite direction. The sliding frame drives the locking block to move in the opposite direction away from the positioning groove on the positioning block, thereby realizing the disassembly of the positioning block. The armor cover body on the positioning block retracts downwards under the action of gravity.
[0020] Preferably, the sliding frame and the sliding groove are slidably connected, and the sliding frame and the limiting block are connected by a telescopic rod.
[0021] With the above structural design, the telescopic rod guides the left and right movement of the sliding frame, making the sliding frame more stable when moving left and right.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the armor cover used in this vertical machining center:
[0023] 1. A limiting threaded sleeve is provided. When it is necessary to disassemble the armor cover body, simply rotate the limiting threaded sleeve and place it under the threaded rod for disassembly. Then, the slider can move downward along the guide slide rod under the action of gravity, disengage from the guide slide rod, thereby driving the armor cover body to disengage from the guide slide rod, completing the disassembly of the armor cover body, which is convenient for the maintenance of the vertical machining center body.
[0024] 2. A locking block is provided. When the positioning block moves into the interior of the limiting block, it can push the locking block to move in the opposite direction. At this time, the telescopic spring is in a compressed state. When the positioning groove in the positioning block moves to be flush with the locking block, the locking block moves relative to the positioning groove in the positioning block under the action of the telescopic spring, thereby fixing the positioning block and the armor cover body on the positioning block. When it is necessary to retract the armor cover body, pull the movable component upward. The movable component moves upward until it abuts against the sliding frame and pushes the sliding frame to move in the opposite direction. The sliding frame drives the locking block to move in the opposite direction away from the positioning groove on the positioning block, thereby realizing the disassembly of the positioning block. The armor cover body on the positioning block retracts downward under the action of gravity, which facilitates the quick stretching and retraction of the armor cover body. Attached Figure Description

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.
[0033] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an armor cover for a vertical machining center, comprising a vertical machining center body 1, a fixing block 2, a guide slide rod 3, a threaded rod 4, a limiting threaded sleeve 5, a slider 6, an armor cover body 7, a positioning block 8, an anti-slip ring 9, a positioning groove 10, a supporting top plate 11, a limiting block 12, a telescopic spring 13, a connecting plate 14, a sliding frame 15, a snap-fit block 16, a groove 17, a column 18, a movable component 19, a sliding groove 20, and a telescopic rod 21. Guide slide rods 3 are installed on both the left and right sides of the front surface of the vertical machining center body 1 via fixing blocks 2. The fixing blocks 2 are located above and behind the guide slide rods 3. The sliders 6 are slidably connected to the guide slide rods 3. A total of four sliders 6 are provided, with two sliders 6 located above and behind the armor cover body 7, and two sliders 6 located below and behind the armor cover body 7. The armor cover body 7 has a telescopic structure design. When the armor cover body 7 is pulled upward, it can be moved along the guide slide rod 3 via the slider 6, which makes the pulling and retraction of the armor cover body 7 more stable. The bottom end of the guide slide rod 3 is equipped with a threaded rod 4, and the bottom of the threaded rod 4 is equipped with a limiting threaded sleeve 5. The center line of the limiting threaded sleeve 5 coincides with the center line of the threaded rod 4, and the limiting threaded sleeve 5 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 4. When it is necessary to disassemble the armor cover body 7, simply rotate the limiting threaded sleeve 5 to remove it from the threaded rod 4. Then, the slider 6 can move downward along the guide slide rod 3 under the action of gravity, disengage from the guide slide rod 3, and thus drive the armor cover body 7 to disengage from the guide slide rod 3, completing the disassembly of the armor cover body 7, which is convenient for the maintenance of the vertical machining center body 1. The guide slide rod 3 is equipped with a slider 6, and the front surface of the slider 6 is equipped with the armor cover body 7.
[0034] A positioning block 8 is installed on the upper end of the armor cover body 7, and an anti-slip ring 9 is installed on the positioning block 8. The anti-slip ring 9 and the positioning block 8 are fixedly connected. The lower surface of the limiting block 12 has an open structure design, and the center line of the limiting block 12 coincides with the center line of the positioning block 8. The positioning block 8 can be embedded in the limiting block 12. When the vertical machining center body 1 is machining the workpiece, the positioning block 8 can be pulled by the anti-slip ring 9. The positioning block 8 drives the armor cover body 7 to extend upward, so that the positioning block 8 moves into the interior of the limiting block 12. The positioning block 8 has a positioning groove 10 inside. A support is installed on the upper surface of the vertical machining center body 1. A top plate 11 is supported, and a limiting block 12 is installed on the lower surface of the top plate 11. Connecting plates 14 are installed on both sides of the limiting block 12 via telescopic springs 13. A sliding frame 15 is installed on the opposite side of each connecting plate 14, and a locking block 16 is installed on the opposite side of each connecting plate 14. The upper surface of the locking block 16 is horizontal, and the lower surface is arc-shaped. The locking block 16 is slidably connected to the limiting block 12. When the positioning block 8 moves into the interior of the limiting block 12, it can push the locking block 16 to move in the opposite direction. At this time, the telescopic spring 13 is in a compressed state. When the positioning groove 10 in the positioning block 8 moves... When the locking block 16 is aligned with the positioning block 16, the locking block 16 moves relative to the positioning block 8 under the action of the elastic force of the telescopic spring 13, so that the locking block 16 engages with the positioning groove 10 in the positioning block 8, thereby completing the fixation of the positioning block 8 and the armor cover body 7 on the positioning block 8. The upper surface of the supporting top plate 11 has a groove 17, and a column 18 is installed inside the groove 17. A movable component 19 is sleeved on the column 18. The movable component 19 is slidably connected to the column 18, and the side of the movable component 19 that can abut against the sliding frame 15 has an arc-shaped structure design. When it is necessary to retract the armor cover body 7, the movable component is pulled upward. 19. The movable component 19 moves upward to abut against the sliding frame 15 and pushes the sliding frame 15 to move in the opposite direction. The sliding frame 15 drives the locking block 16 to move in the opposite direction away from the positioning groove 10 on the positioning block 8, thereby realizing the disassembly of the positioning block 8. The armor cover body 7 on the positioning block 8 retracts downward under the action of gravity. Slide grooves 20 are provided on both the left and right sides of the supporting top plate 11. The sliding frame 15 is slidably connected to the slide groove 20. The sliding frame 15 is connected to the limiting block 12 through the telescopic rod 21. The telescopic rod 21 guides the left and right movement of the sliding frame 15, thereby making the sliding frame 15 more stable when moving left and right.
[0035] Working principle: When using the armor cover for this vertical machining center, firstly, when using the armor cover body 7, the armor cover body 7 can be pulled upwards. The armor cover body 7 can move along the guide slide rod 3 via the slider 6, thereby making the pulling and retraction of the armor cover body 7 more stable. When it is necessary to disassemble the armor cover body 7, simply rotate the limiting threaded sleeve 5 to remove the limiting threaded sleeve 5 from the threaded rod 4. Then, the slider 6 can move downwards along the guide slide rod 3 under the action of gravity, disengaging from the guide slide rod 3, thereby driving the armor cover body 7 to disengage from the guide slide rod 3, completing the disassembly of the armor cover body 7, which facilitates the maintenance of the vertical machining center body 1.
[0036] When the vertical machining center body 1 is machining a workpiece, the anti-slip ring 9 can pull the positioning block 8, which in turn causes the armor cover body 7 to extend upwards, moving the positioning block 8 into the interior of the limit block 12. When the positioning block 8 moves into the interior of the limit block 12, it can push the locking block 16 to move in the opposite direction. At this time, the telescopic spring 13 is in a compressed state. When the positioning groove 10 in the positioning block 8 moves to be flush with the locking block 16, the locking block 16 moves relative to the positioning groove 10 in the positioning block 8 under the action of the rebound force of the telescopic spring 13, so that the locking block 16 engages with the positioning groove 10 in the positioning block 8. This completes the fixing of the positioning block 8, thereby fixing the armor cover body 7 on the positioning block 8. When it is necessary to retract the armor cover body 7, pull the movable component 19 upward. The movable component 19 moves upward until it abuts against the sliding frame 15, and pushes the sliding frame 15 to move in the opposite direction. The sliding frame 15 drives the locking block 16 to move in the opposite direction away from the positioning groove 10 on the positioning block 8, thereby realizing the disassembly of the positioning block 8. The armor cover body 7 on the positioning block 8 retracts downward under the action of gravity, thereby facilitating the rapid stretching and retraction of the armor cover body 7. This completes a series of operations. The contents not described in detail in this specification are prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0037] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
