Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool equipment technology, specifically to a machine tool dust suction pipe support structure. Background Technology

[0002] When processing sheet metal using machine tools such as laser cutting machines, laser engraving machines, gantry milling machines, and gantry drilling machines, debris is generated. To promptly remove this debris, a dust suction pipe is installed at the machine head. This pipe is made of corrugated plastic, and the end furthest from the machine head is connected to a dust collector. When the machine head processes sheet metal, the dust suction pipe transports the generated debris to the dust collector.

[0003] Over time, the vacuum cleaner hose ages and stretches, causing it to sag and obstruct the view during processing. See [link to relevant documentation] for details. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A tube frame is fixedly installed on one side of the gantry frame 1 spanning the machine tool 2. The tube frame includes a horizontal frame and a vertical frame connected sequentially from top to bottom. A horizontal ring 423 is provided on the horizontal frame, and a vertical ring 412 is provided on the vertical frame. A dust suction pipe 5 is inserted inside the vertical ring 412 and the horizontal ring 423, so that the dust suction pipe 5 is supported by the tube frame and prevents the dust suction pipe from falling down and obstructing the processing view.

[0004] When replacing the suction pipe 5, the operation is as follows: (1) Remove the suction pipe 5: First, remove the end of the suction pipe 5 connected to the machine head from the machine head, pull the suction pipe 5 outward, so that the suction pipe 5 first exits the horizontal ring 423 and then exits the vertical ring 412, and disconnect the end of the suction pipe 5 connected to the dust collector from the dust collector. (2) Install the suction pipe 5: First, install one end of the suction pipe 5 on the dust collector, and then install the other end of the suction pipe 5 through the vertical ring 412 and the horizontal ring 423 in sequence on the machine head.

[0005] Due to the considerable height of the pipe rack, installing the vacuum hose requires workers to climb to a height to insert it into the higher vertical and horizontal rings, reducing the convenience of the installation process. Therefore, finding a convenient way to install the vacuum hose is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a machine tool dust suction pipe support structure. This invention allows for adjustment of the pipe frame height, facilitating the installation of the dust suction pipe.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A machine tool dust extraction pipe support structure includes a gantry spanning the machine tool. A pipe rack is provided on the side of the gantry. The pipe rack includes a horizontal frame and a vertical frame connected sequentially from top to bottom. A horizontal ring is provided on the horizontal frame, and a vertical ring is provided on the vertical frame. The vertical frame is slidably connected to the side of the gantry in the vertical direction. A fixed seat is provided on the side of the vertical frame, and a screw is threadedly connected to the fixed seat. A locking seat is provided on the side of the gantry, and the screw is threadedly connected to the locking seat.

[0009] Furthermore, the vertical frame includes two vertical rods, which are connected by a first longitudinal rod and connected to the vertical ring;

[0010] The transverse frame includes two horizontal bars, one end of which is bent downwards into an arc shape. The lower end of the arc shape is connected to the upper end of the vertical bar. The two horizontal bars are connected by a second vertical bar and are connected to the transverse ring.

[0011] Furthermore, the side of the vertical frame is provided with a slide block, the slide block is provided with a dovetail groove, and the side of the vertical frame is provided with a slide rail, which slides in conjunction with the dovetail groove in the vertical direction.

[0012] Furthermore, the screw has a handle at the end away from the locking seat.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the gantry frame is provided with a support frame, and the bottom of the support frame is provided with a buffer pad, which is located below the vertical frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the support frame is provided with a support groove, and the buffer pad is provided inside the support groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the cushioning pad is made of sponge.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. When the screw is turned outward, the vertical frame in the pipe rack can fall under its own weight. The vertical frame drives the horizontal frame to move down together. The height of the vertical ring on the vertical frame and the horizontal ring on the horizontal frame is reduced. When inserting the vacuum pipe into the vertical ring and the horizontal ring, workers do not need to climb high. This makes it convenient for workers to insert the vacuum pipe into the vertical ring and the horizontal ring, which helps to improve the operation convenience of vacuum pipe installation and also helps to reduce the risk of workers falling from heights and improve safety.

[0018] 2. The vertical and horizontal frames have simple structures, are easy to assemble, and can improve assembly efficiency.

[0019] 3. The handle provides a gripping position for workers to tighten the screw, making it convenient for them to tighten the screw.

[0020] 4. By setting up support frames and installing buffer pads on the support frames, the vertical frames can be supported by the buffer pads when they fall, reducing the noise generated when the vertical frames fall. This also protects the vertical frames, extends the overall lifespan of the pipe rack, and saves maintenance costs.

[0021] 5. By using a sponge pad as a cushioning pad, it is easy to obtain materials. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0040] Example:

[0041] A machine tool dust suction pipe support structure, see [reference] Figures 1 to 5 It includes a gantry frame 1, which is mounted horizontally on the machine tool 2. The horizontal direction refers to the left-right straight line direction.

[0042] See Figures 1 to 5 The gantry 1 moves along the longitudinal direction of the machine tool 2 via a longitudinal drive mechanism. The longitudinal direction refers to the straight line from front to back.

[0043] See Figures 1 to 5 The longitudinal drive mechanism includes a guide rail 31, a rack 32, a motor 33, and a gear 34. Guide rails 31 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the machine tool 2, and a rack 32 is also fixedly installed on the left side of the machine tool 2. Both the guide rails 31 and the rack 32 extend longitudinally. The motor 33 can be a servo motor 33. The motor 33 is fixedly installed on the left side of the gantry 1. The output shaft of the motor 33 passes through the left side of the gantry 1. A gear 34 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 33, and the gear 34 meshes with the rack 32.

[0044] The working principle of the longitudinal drive mechanism driving the gantry 1 to move longitudinally is as follows: When the motor 33 drives the gear 34 to rotate forward, the gear 34 moves from back to front along the rack 32, causing the gantry 1 to move from back to front along the longitudinal direction of the machine tool 2; when the motor 33 drives the gear 34 to rotate in reverse, the gear 34 moves from front to back along the rack 32, causing the gantry 1 to move from front to back along the longitudinal direction of the machine tool 2.

[0045] See Figures 2 to 5The right side of the gantry 1 is equipped with a pipe rack, which includes a horizontal rack and a vertical rack.

[0046] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The vertical frame includes two vertical rods 41, each extending vertically. A first longitudinal rod 411, extending longitudinally, is provided between the two vertical rods 41. The two vertical rods 41 are welded and fixed to the two ends of the first longitudinal rod 411. Vertical rings 412 are welded and fixed to the two vertical rods 41, and the suction pipe 5 is inserted through the vertical rings 412.

[0047] See Figure 6 and Figure 8 The transverse frame includes two horizontal bars 42, which are bars extending laterally. The right ends of both horizontal bars 42 are bent downwards into arc-shaped rods 421, the lower ends of which are welded to the upper ends of vertical bars 41. A second longitudinal bar 422 is provided between the two horizontal bars 42, extending longitudinally. The two ends of the two horizontal bars 42 are welded to the second longitudinal bar 422. A transverse ring 423 is welded to both horizontal bars 42, and the suction pipe 5 is also inserted through the transverse ring 423.

[0048] See Figure 7 and Figure 9 A slide block 11 is fixedly installed on the right side of the gantry frame 1. The slide block 11 has a dovetail groove 111. A slide rail 413 is welded and fixed to the left side of the vertical rod 41. The slide rail 413 slides and engages with the dovetail groove 111 in the vertical direction. A locking seat 12 is fixedly installed on the rear right end of the gantry frame 1. The locking seat 12 has a locking screw hole 121. A fixing seat 414 is welded and fixed to the rear side of the vertical rod 41. The fixing seat 414 has a fixing screw hole 4141. A screw 415 is threaded into the fixing screw hole 4141. The screw 415 is also threaded into the locking screw hole 121. To facilitate tightening the screw 415, a handle 4151 is welded and fixed to the end of the screw 415 away from the locking seat 12.

[0049] See Figure 5 and Figure 10 A support frame 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the gantry frame 1. The bottom of the support frame 13 is provided with a support groove 131, and a cushioning pad 132 is placed in the support groove 131. The cushioning pad 132 is located below the vertical frame. For easy material sourcing, the cushioning pad 132 can be made of sponge, which is a common product on the market and easy to purchase.

[0050] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0051] When the longitudinal drive mechanism drives the gantry 1 to move longitudinally along the machine tool 2, the gantry 1 moves together with the pipe rack and the support frame 13. When the gantry 1 stops moving, if it is necessary to replace the dust suction pipe 5, the following operations are required:

[0052] First, the worker screws the screw 415 outward, causing the screw 415 to disengage from the locking screw hole 121 of the locking seat 12. At this time, the vertical frame is no longer locked by the screw 415 and the locking seat 12. Under its own weight, the vertical frame falls onto the buffer pad 132 on the support frame 13. During the fall of the vertical frame, the slide rail 413 on the vertical rod 41 slides down in the dovetail groove 111. When the vertical frame falls onto the buffer pad 132, the vertical frame drives the horizontal frame to move down, which reduces the height of the entire tube frame and reduces the height of the old vacuum tube 5 that passes through the vertical ring 412 and the horizontal ring 423.

[0053] Then, the worker removes one end of the old vacuum cleaner hose 5 from the machine head and pulls the old vacuum cleaner hose 5 outward, so that the old vacuum cleaner hose 5 first exits the horizontal ring 423 and then exits the vertical ring 412. The end of the old vacuum cleaner hose 5 connected to the dust collector is then removed from the dust collector, and the removal of the old vacuum cleaner hose 5 is now complete.

[0054] Next, the worker installed one end of the new suction pipe 5 on the dust collector, and then installed the other end of the new suction pipe 5 on the machine head after passing it through the vertical ring 412 and the horizontal ring 423 in sequence.

[0055] Finally, the worker lifts the vertical frame upwards so that the height of the fixing screw hole 4141 on the fixing seat 414 is aligned with the locking screw hole 121 on the locking seat 12. The worker then reverses the screw 415 so that the screw 415 re-enters the locking screw hole 121. At this point, the height of the vertical frame can be fixed, thus fixing the height of the entire pipe rack.

[0056] Based on the working principle described above in this embodiment, it can be seen that this embodiment has the following effects:

[0057] First, when the screw 415 is turned outward, the vertical frame in the pipe rack can fall under its own weight. The vertical frame drives the horizontal frame to move down together, and the height of the vertical ring 412 on the vertical frame and the horizontal ring 423 on the horizontal frame is reduced. When inserting the vacuum pipe 5 into the vertical ring 412 and the horizontal ring 423, workers do not need to climb high. This makes it convenient for workers to insert the vacuum pipe 5 into the vertical ring 412 and the horizontal ring 423, which helps to improve the ease of operation of installing the vacuum pipe 5 and also helps to reduce the risk of workers falling from heights and improve safety.

[0058] Secondly, the vertical and horizontal frame structures in this embodiment are simple, easy to assemble, and can improve assembly efficiency.

[0059] Third, by setting up a support frame 13 and a buffer pad 132 on the support frame 13, the buffer pad 132 can be used to support the falling vertical frame, reduce the noise generated when the vertical frame falls, and also protect the vertical frame, extend the overall life of the pipe rack, and thus save maintenance costs.

[0060] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
