Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of gantry machining centers, specifically a gantry machining center. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing, high-precision and high-efficiency machining equipment is crucial. As a large-scale, high-performance CNC machining equipment, gantry machining centers have been widely used and developed in recent years. They are mainly suitable for machining large and complex shaped parts, such as aircraft structural parts in the aerospace field, large molds in automobile manufacturing, and large parts in the shipbuilding industry. However, existing gantry machining centers have a single machining table design, which requires stopping the machine when changing materials, resulting in low processing efficiency. At the same time, the chips generated during the machining process are easily splashed into the base, affecting the sliding of the machining table. To solve the above problems, a new type of gantry machining center is needed.

[0003] Existing gantry machining centers have problems such as requiring machine stoppage during material change, resulting in low processing efficiency, inability to intercept debris generated during processing to prevent it from entering the base and affecting the movement of the machining table, and lack of protection for workers during material change. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of gantry machining center. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a gantry machining center to solve the problems of existing gantry machining centers requiring machine stoppage during material change, low processing efficiency, inability to intercept debris generated during processing to prevent debris from entering the base and affecting the movement of the processing table, and inability to protect workers during material change.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a gantry machining center, including a base, a slide rail installed on the inner wall of the base, a slide table installed on the top of the slide rail, and a machining table installed on the top of the slide table.

[0006] A limit block is installed on the top of the slide table, and a baffle is installed on the inner wall of the limit block. A gantry frame is installed on the top of the base, a power motor is installed on the top of the gantry frame, and a processing arm is installed at the bottom of the power motor.

[0007] A limit rod is installed on the top of the base, a protective plate is installed on the outer wall of the limit rod, and a limit spring is installed on the outer wall of the limit rod.

[0008] Preferably, the slide rail is slidably connected to the slide table, and the processing table is symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the slide table as the center.

[0009] Preferably, the processing table is arranged perpendicularly to the processing arm, and the processing table is circular.

[0010] Preferably, the baffle is inserted into the limiting block, and the baffle is arranged in a rectangular array with the central axis of the base as the center.

[0011] Preferably, the guard plate is movably connected to the limiting rod, and the guard plate is U-shaped.

[0012] Preferably, the guard plate forms a telescopic structure with a limiting spring and a limiting rod, and the guard plate is symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the base as the center.

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

[0014] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a base, slide rail, slide table and processing table, addresses the issue that the existing gantry machining center has a single processing table, which requires stopping the machine when changing materials. However, in this utility model, while one processing table is processing, the other processing table can be loaded at the same time without stopping the machine to change materials, achieving seamless connection, greatly saving material change time and improving processing efficiency.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses a limiting block and a baffle. The limiting block and the baffle are interlocked. When the processing arm processes the parts, it will generate debris. The debris is easy to fly and enter the base, affecting the sliding between the slide table and the slide rail. The baffle can block the debris, making it easier to clean up later. At the same time, it can prevent the debris from entering the base, increasing the usability of the device.

[0016] 3. This utility model, through the setting of a limiting rod, a protective plate, and a limiting spring, allows the protective plate to be pressed downward by the elastic force of the limiting spring when the worker is changing materials, thus shielding the parts being processed and preventing flying debris from injuring the worker. When changing materials, the protective plate can be lifted up, increasing the safety of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A gantry machining center includes a base 1, a slide rail 2 installed on the inner wall of the base 1, a slide table 3 installed on the top of the slide rail 2, and a machining table 4 installed on the top of the slide table 3. The slide rail 2 and the slide table 3 are slidably connected. The machining table 4 is symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the slide table 3 as the center. The machining table 4 is perpendicular to the machining arm 9 and is circular. With the arrangement of the base 1, slide rail 2, slide table 3 and machining table 4, the machining table 4 of the existing gantry machining centers is set up individually, and the machine needs to be stopped when changing materials. However, in this utility model, when the machining table 4 on one side is processing, the machining table 4 on the other side can be loaded at the same time without stopping the machine to change materials. This seamless connection greatly saves material change time and improves processing efficiency.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 A gantry machining center has a limit block 5 installed on the top of the slide table 3, and a baffle 6 installed on the inner wall of the limit block 5. A gantry frame 7 is installed on the top of the base 1, and a power motor 8 is installed on the top of the gantry frame 7. A machining arm 9 is installed at the bottom of the power motor 8. The baffle 6 is inserted into the limit block 5, and the baffle 6 is arranged in a rectangular array with the central axis of the base 1 as the center. Through the limit block 5 and the baffle 6, when the machining arm 9 processes the parts, it will generate debris. The debris is easy to splash and enter the interior of the base 1, affecting the sliding between the slide table 3 and the slide rail 2. The baffle 6 can block the debris, making it easier to clean it later. At the same time, it can prevent the debris from entering the interior of the base 1, increasing the usability of the device.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4A gantry machining center includes a limit rod 10 mounted on the top of a base 1. A guard plate 11 is mounted on the outer wall of the limit rod 10, and a limit spring 12 is mounted on the outer wall of the limit rod 10. The guard plate 11 is movably connected to the limit rod 10 and is U-shaped. The guard plate 11 and the limit rod 10 form a telescopic structure through the limit spring 12. The guard plate 11 is symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the base 1. Through the limit rod 10, guard plate 11, and limit spring 12, when the operator is changing materials, the guard plate 11 is pressed downward by the elastic force of the limit spring 12 to shield the parts being processed, preventing flying debris from injuring the operator. When changing materials, the guard plate 11 can be lifted, increasing the safety of the device.

[0027] Working principle: In use, first move the device to the desired position, then place the parts to be processed on the processing table 4, and then start the power motor 8 to drive the processing arm 9 for processing. At the same time, the other processing table 4 can be loaded simultaneously without stopping the machine to change materials, which greatly saves the material change time. When the processing arm 9 processes the parts, it will generate debris. The debris is easy to fly and enter the base 1, affecting the sliding between the slide table 3 and the slide rail 2. Insert the baffle 6 into the limiting block 5 to block the debris, which is convenient for subsequent centralized cleaning and can also prevent the debris from entering the base 1. Finally, when the operator is changing materials, the guard plate 11 is pressed down by the elastic force of the limiting spring 12 to block the parts being processed and prevent the flying debris from injuring the operator. When changing materials, the guard plate 11 can be lifted. This completes the use of the device.
