Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lathe anti-collision technology, specifically to an anti-collision device for a lathe. Background Technology

[0002] A lathe is a machine tool primarily used to machine rotating workpieces using cutting tools. On a lathe, drills, reamers, taps, dies, and knurling tools can also be used for corresponding machining operations. Currently, in actual handling and movement of lathes, the base is generally quite large to ensure the stability of the entire structure. This often results in the base colliding with external structures beforehand. The lack of anti-collision protection increases the likelihood and severity of damage, leading to higher maintenance and repair costs. Therefore, a lathe anti-collision device is needed to address these shortcomings and improve its effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a collision protection device for lathes, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art, that currently, when lathes are actually transported and moved, the base is generally large in size in order to ensure the stability of the entire device structure, which causes the base to collide with the external structure in advance. Due to the lack of a collision protection structure, the degree of damage and probability of damage are increased, and the subsequent inspection and maintenance costs are increased.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model relates to an anti-collision device for a lathe, comprising:

[0006] The anti-collision protection mechanism includes a proximity switch and a movable slot. The proximity switch is equidistantly arranged on the upper part of the outer surface of the lathe base. The movable slot is equidistantly opened at the lower end of the outer surface of the lathe base. A movable motor is fixed on the upper part of one side of the inner wall of the movable slot. A collar is sleeved in the middle of the output end of the movable motor, and an abutment block is fixed on one side of the outer surface of the collar.

[0007] Furthermore, a bearing seat is fixed on the upper part of the other side of the inner wall of the movable groove, and the middle part of the bearing seat is sleeved with one end of the output end of the movable motor.

[0008] Furthermore, the length inside the active groove is greater than the length and width of the contact block.

[0009] Furthermore, a movable connecting rod is movably provided at the bottom center of the inner wall of the movable groove, and the upper end of the movable connecting rod is movably connected to one side of the lower end of the contact block.

[0010] Furthermore, an electric push rod is fitted inside the movable groove, and the output end of the electric push rod contacts the inner side of the movable connecting rod.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a telescopic mechanism, which includes a circular groove and a controller. The circular groove is equidistantly opened on the upper part of the outer surface of the lathe, and an electric push rod II is arranged inside the circular groove. The output end of the electric push rod II is sleeved with the rear end of the proximity switch, and the controller is embedded above the outer surface of the proximity switch.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the electric push rod 2 is fixed with a protruding post, and the outer surface of the protruding post fits into the inner wall of the circular groove.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention involves arranging proximity switches around the outer surface of the lathe base. During the movement of the lathe, the proximity switches detect the distance between the base and external collision objects. When the distance is within the rated collision range, the controller controls a controlled motor to rotate the contact block, causing the contact block to unfold from the movable slot. By contacting the external collision object, the base is prevented from colliding with it, thus reducing costs. Furthermore, a controlled electric push rod acts on the movable connecting rod to contact the contact block, preventing it from retracting and further improving the performance.

[0015] Based on the aforementioned beneficial effects, the proximity switch is connected to the output end of the second electric push rod. While the controller controls the movable motor, it also controls the second electric push rod. That is, while the movable motor rotates, the controlled electric push rod retracts to prevent the proximity switch from contacting and being damaged by the collision object due to a malfunction of the contact block.

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.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is an anti-collision device for a lathe, comprising:

[0026] The anti-collision protection mechanism includes a proximity switch 11 and a movable slot 17. The proximity switch 11 is equidistantly arranged on the upper part of the outer surface of the lathe base. The movable slot 17 is equidistantly opened at the lower end of the outer surface of the lathe base. A movable motor 12 is fixed on the upper part of one side of the inner wall of the movable slot 17. A collar 13 is sleeved in the middle of the output end of the movable motor 12. A contact block 14 is fixed on one side of the outer surface of the collar 13.

[0027] The movable slot 17 accommodates the installation of the movable motor 12 and stores the abutment block 14. The movable motor 12 provides the power required for the rotation of the abutment block 14. The abutment block 14 is connected to the movable motor 12 via the collar 13 and the force is transmitted. The abutment block 14 and the external collision object can avoid collision with the lathe base and reduce subsequent inspection and maintenance costs.

[0028] A bearing seat 18 is fixed on the upper part of the other side of the inner wall of the movable groove 17, and the middle part of the bearing seat 18 is sleeved with one end of the output end of the movable motor 12.

[0029] The bearing 18 receives the output end of the movable motor 12 and can reduce rotational friction.

[0030] The length inside the active groove 17 is greater than the length and width of the contact block 14.

[0031] A movable connecting rod 15 is movably provided at the bottom center of the inner wall of the movable groove 17, and the upper end of the movable connecting rod 15 is movably connected to one side of the lower end of the contact block 14.

[0032] An electric push rod 16 is fitted inside the movable slot 17, and the output end of the electric push rod 16 contacts the inner side of the movable connecting rod 15.

[0033] The movable link 15 receives the abutment block 14, and with the help of the abutment force formed by the output end of the controlled electric push rod 16 and the movable link 15, the abutment block 14 can be prevented from retracting after contact with the collision object.

[0034] Working principle: During the movement of the lathe, multiple proximity switches 11 installed on the lathe base detect the distance between the lathe and surrounding objects in real time. After detecting that the distance between the surrounding objects and the base is within the rated range, the controller 23 controls the movable motor 12 to apply rotational force to the contact block 14, so that the contact block 14, which was originally in a vertical plane, is converted into a horizontal angle, thus isolating the base from the surrounding objects. When the contact block 14 unfolds, the linkage movable link 15 unfolds, and the similarly controlled electric push rod 16 pushes the output end forward, thus forming contact with the movable link 15.

[0035] This solution avoids collisions between the base and the object, which helps reduce costs. Furthermore, by using a controlled electric push rod 16 to actuate the movable link 15, it prevents the contact block 14 from retracting, thus further improving the performance.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:

[0037] The telescopic mechanism includes a circular groove 24 and a controller 23. The circular groove 24 is equidistantly opened on the upper part of the outer surface of the lathe, and an electric push rod 22 is arranged inside the circular groove 24. The output end of the electric push rod 22 is sleeved with the rear end of the proximity switch 11, and the controller 23 is embedded above the outer surface of the proximity switch 11.

[0038] The circular groove 24 accommodates the installation of the electric push rod 22 and provides storage and protection for the proximity switch 11. The controlled electric push rod 22 retracts the connected proximity switch 11, preventing damage to the proximity switch 11 from collision with surrounding objects due to a malfunction of the moving motor 12. The controller 23 is responsible for receiving and processing data.

[0039] One end of the electric push rod 22 is fixed with a protruding post 21, and the outer surface of the protruding post 21 fits into the inner wall of the circular groove 24;

[0040] The protruding post 21 fixes the electric push rod 22 to the inner wall of the circular groove 24.

[0041] Working principle: In the above-mentioned detection of the distance between the base and surrounding objects by using proximity switch 11, once the base and surrounding objects are detected to be at the rated proximity distance, the controller 23 controls the electric push rod 22, which can retract the proximity switch 11 into the circular groove 24.

[0042] This solution can prevent the proximity switch 11 from being damaged by contact with the object due to a fault in the contact block 14, thereby further reducing the cost of use.

[0043] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
