[0025] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, a tool magazine protection structure for a numerical control machine tool, comprising a base 1, a tool magazine protection cabin 2 covering the base 1, a tool magazine door 3 arranged on one side of the tool magazine protection cabin 2, and a tool magazine seat 4 slidingly installed on the base 1, wherein the tool magazine protection cabin 2 and the tool magazine door 3 of the embodiment are provided with an opening and closing mechanism 5 for automatically opening or closing the tool magazine door 3, the opening and closing mechanism 5 comprises a bearing plate 51 fixedly arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the tool magazine protection cabin 2, a guide groove 52 arranged on the bearing plate 51, a guide rod 53 arranged on both sides of the tool magazine door 3 and inserted into the guide groove 52, and a driving assembly 54 for driving the guide rod 53 to slide along the guide groove 52, and the guide groove 52 comprises an arc-shaped portion 521 and a longitudinal portion 522 connected above the arc-shaped portion 521.
[0026] The opening and closing mechanism 5 of the embodiment drives the guide rod 53 to slide along the guide groove 52 through the driving assembly 54, so that the tool magazine door 3 can be automatically opened or closed. The guide groove 52 is divided into two sections, which are the horizontally curved arc-shaped portion 521 at the bottom end position of the bearing plate 51, along which the guide rod 53 slides to slightly push the tool magazine door 3 outward, and the longitudinal portion 522 connected at the tail end of the arc-shaped portion 521, which is vertically arranged on the end face of the bearing plate 51, along which the guide rod 53 slides to drive the tool magazine door 3 to open and close. In the closing process, the guide rod 53 drives the tool magazine door 3 to descend along the longitudinal portion 522 and then reset along the arc-shaped portion 521. The entire opening and closing process is divided into two sections, first slightly pushed out along the arc-shaped portion 521 and then vertically lifted, which can make the tool magazine door 3 more compact during opening or closing, avoiding collision with other parts of the numerical control machine tool due to large opening.
[0027] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2As shown, the driving assembly 54 of the embodiment includes a driving motor 541 fixed on the bearing plate 51, a lifting screw rod 542 extending vertically and in transmission connection with the driving motor 541, and a lifting seat 543 in threaded transmission connection with the lifting screw rod 542, and the lifting seat 543 is in sliding connection with the guide rod 53. The driving motor 541 fixed on the bearing plate 51 is a servo motor as the power source of the whole opening and closing mechanism 5, which is in electrical connection with the numerical control system, can automatically open and close the tool magazine door 3, and ensures the speed and position during the opening and closing process. The lifting screw rod 542 is vertically and parallel to the arc-shaped part 521, and is in transmission connection with the driving motor 541, when the driving motor 541 rotates, the lifting screw rod 542 rotates. The lifting seat 543 is in threaded transmission connection with the lifting screw rod 542, when the lifting screw rod 542 rotates, the lifting seat 543 moves up and down along the screw rod. The lifting seat 543 is also connected with the guide rod 53, driving the guide rod 53 to slide along the guide groove 52. And the guide rod 53 is in sliding connection with the lifting seat 543, so that the guide rod 53 can slide along the lifting seat 543, thereby ensuring that the guide rod 53 can smoothly move along the arc-shaped groove of the guide groove 52 into the longitudinal part 522.
[0028] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the lifting seat 543 of the embodiment is provided with a sliding groove 5431, the guide rod 53 includes a connecting part 531 fixedly connected with the tool magazine door 3 and a sliding column 532 slidingly embedded in the guide groove 52, and the connecting part 531 is slidingly installed in the sliding groove 5431. When the tool magazine door 3 is in the closed state, the sliding column 532 of the guide rod 53 is located at the starting position of the guide groove 52, and the connecting part 531 is located in the sliding groove 5431 of the lifting seat 543. The driving motor 541 starts to rotate to drive the lifting screw rod 542 to rotate, thereby making the lifting seat 543 move up and down along the lifting screw rod 542. The connecting part 531 of the guide rod 53 slides in the sliding groove 5431 of the lifting seat 543, so that the sliding column 532 of the guide rod 53 slides along the arc-shaped part 521 of the guide groove 52. When the guide rod 53 reaches the end of the arc-shaped part 521, it smoothly transitions to the longitudinal part 522 and continues to slide along the longitudinal part 522, thereby vertically lifting the tool magazine door 3 and completing the opening operation.
[0029] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the bearing plate 51 of the embodiment corresponds to the bottom and top positions of the lifting screw rod 542 and is provided with limit switches 6. The bottom limit switch 6 provided at the bottom position of the lifting screw rod 542 is used to detect whether the lifting seat 543 reaches the lowest point, and the top limit switch 6 provided at the top position of the lifting screw rod 542 is used to detect whether the lifting seat 543 reaches the highest point. The limit switch 6 can detect the specific position of the lifting seat 543 on the lifting screw rod 542 and send a signal when reaching the limit position. The control system receives the signal and stops the operation of the driving motor 541, preventing damage caused by overstroke.
[0030] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 of the embodiment is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves 7 along the sliding direction of the tool magazine seat 4, and a sliding rail 8 is provided at the bottom of the tool seat and connected to the sliding groove 7, and a push cylinder 9 is also provided in the tool magazine protection cabin 2 and fixedly connected to the tail end of the tool magazine seat 4. The base 1 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves 7 along the sliding direction of the tool magazine seat 4, which provides a guide path for the movement of the tool magazine seat 4. The tool magazine seat 4 is provided with a sliding rail 8 at the bottom, which is embedded in the sliding groove 7, ensuring that the tool magazine seat 4 can slide smoothly along the predetermined path. The push cylinder 9 is provided in the tool magazine protection cabin 2 and fixedly connected to the tail end of the tool magazine seat 4, which can drive the tool magazine seat 4 to slide along the sliding groove 7, realizing the extension and retraction of the tool magazine seat 4.
[0031] Further, the sliding groove 7 and the sliding rail 8 are provided with a plurality of parallel arrangements. The plurality of parallel arrangements of the sliding groove 7 and the sliding rail 8 provide a more precise guide path, ensuring that the tool magazine seat 4 does not deviate from the predetermined track during movement, improving the positioning accuracy.
[0032] In summary, the beneficial effects of the embodiment are: the arc-shaped part 521 and the longitudinal part 522 of the guide groove 52 can divide the opening and closing process of the tool magazine door 3 into two sections, first pushing out a small amplitude along the arc-shaped part 521 and then vertically lifting, which can reduce the opening amplitude and avoid collision with other parts of the numerical control machine tool. The bottom and top limit switches 6 can detect the specific position of the lifting seat 543 and stop the operation of the driving motor 541 when reaching the limit position, preventing damage caused by overstroke. The plurality of parallel arrangements of the sliding groove 7 and the sliding rail 8 provide a precise guide path, ensuring that the tool magazine seat 4 does not deviate from the predetermined track during movement, improving the positioning accuracy.
