Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casting technology, and in particular to a connector casting for a five-sided machining center. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, high-precision and high-efficiency machining equipment is indispensable. The five-sided machining center, as a representative of high-end CNC machining equipment, is a type of mechanical processing equipment that combines the functions of vertical and horizontal machining centers. It can complete the machining of multiple faces of a workpiece in a single setup. This type of machining center typically has a compound milling head that can rotate to adapt to different machining requirements. The structural design of the five-sided machining center ensures its excellent rigidity and precision, making it suitable for various high-precision parts requiring multi-face machining. With its superior machining capabilities and flexibility, it is widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, mold processing, and many other industries. Castings play a vital role in various fields. They are metal shaped objects carefully crafted through diverse casting processes. Specifically, refined liquid metal is skillfully poured into a carefully designed mold using casting techniques such as pouring, injection, and suction. After cooling and solidification, and with the addition of fine processing steps such as grinding, a finished product with a perfect shape, size, and performance is finally obtained. When connecting rods, connector castings play a crucial role. They act like bridges, tightly connecting different rods and achieving structural stability and functional integration. However, existing connector castings are not convenient for fixing materials of different lengths and widths, resulting in low applicability.

[0003] For example, in the announcement number CN212455192U, a connector casting includes a first connecting pipe with an inner cavity at one end. An annular groove is formed along one side of the outer wall of the inner cavity. A rotating column is welded to the bottom of the inner wall of the inner cavity. A second connecting pipe is fitted onto the outer wall of the rotating column and rotates within the annular groove. Both the first and second connecting pipes have rod grooves inside, and a rod is slidably embedded within these grooves. A cylindrical groove is formed on one side of the outer wall of the rod. In use, moving the L-shaped slider backward compresses the first spring, pulling the T-shaped rod upward, inserting the rod, and releasing the T-shaped rod, rotating the rod so that the cylindrical groove on its outer wall rotates below the T-shaped rod, and the T-shaped rod embeds into the cylindrical groove, thus fixing the rod. During disassembly, because it is not a threaded interface or welded joint, it does not experience excessive wear, can be reused multiple times, and is suitable for different connection methods.

[0004] The aforementioned connector casting is not convenient for fixing materials of different lengths and widths during use, and has low applicability. Utility Model Content
