[0036] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical scheme of the utility model, a preferred embodiment is provided below, and specific reference is made to Figures 1-5 A double-station gantry for machining center, comprising a main support 1, two side supports 2, two cross beams 3, two groups of driving members 4 and two groups of pressing assemblies 5.

[0037] The two side supports 2 are distributed on the two sides of the main support 1.

[0038] The two cross beams 3 are distributed on the two sides of the main support 1, one end of the cross beam 3 is rotationally connected to the main support 1 through a first rotating shaft 31, and the other end is rotationally connected to the side support 2 through a second rotating shaft 32.

[0039] The two groups of driving members 4 are correspondingly arranged with the two cross beams 3, and the driving member 4 can drive the cross beam 3 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 31; the driving member 4 can be an oil cylinder, an electric cylinder or the like.

[0040] The two groups of pressing assemblies 5 are correspondingly arranged with the two cross beams 3, and the pressing assembly 5 comprises a hydraulic cylinder 51, an outer cylinder 52 and a pressing member 53, the hydraulic cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to the cross beam 3, the outer cylinder 52 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder 51, a part of the pressing member 53 is rotationally connected in the outer cylinder 52, and the other part protrudes from the outer cylinder 52 and is located below the outer cylinder 52.

[0041] The double-station gantry for machining center of the utility model is different from the existing gantry in that, firstly, the gantry of the application can simultaneously press and fix two workpieces, thereby improving the machining efficiency of the machining center; secondly, the gantry of the application is additionally provided with a swing structure, when the machining center completes the machining of the workpiece, the driving member 4 can drive the cross beam 3 to rotate and swing, so that the pressing assembly 5 is away from the workpiece, and the worker or the mechanical part can smoothly replace the workpiece, this design greatly reduces the moving stroke requirement of the pressing assembly 5, thereby reducing the height requirement of the gantry, saving the cost of consumables, and improving the pressing stability of the pressing assembly 5; finally, the pressing member 53 on the pressing assembly 5 is designed to be rotatable, the existing part of the workpiece carrier of the machining center can drive the workpiece to rotate, so as to meet the higher machining requirement of the workpiece, and the design of the pressing assembly 5 in the application can be adapted to such a carrier, meet the requirements of different machining centers, and make the gantry more versatile.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first rotating shaft 31 and the second rotating shaft 32 are formed with threaded portions, and two toothed locking nuts 33 are threadedly connected to the threaded portions, and the two toothed locking nuts 33 are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the cross beam 3 to limit the movement of the cross beam 3 in the vertical direction. In actual application, there can be a large difference in the height of different workpieces, and by using this design, the height of the cross beam 3 can be changed by adjusting the position of the toothed locking nut 33, and then the height of the pressing assembly 5 is changed, so as to meet the processing needs of different workpieces.

[0043] Based on the rotatable design of the pressing member 53 in the present application, the concentricity of the pressing member 53 and the worktable is particularly important, and therefore, in some embodiments, the double-station gantry for machining center further comprises a position detection assembly for detecting whether the driving member 4 drives the cross beam 3 to the position, and when the cross beam 3 moves to the position, it indicates that the pressing member 53 is concentric or almost concentric with the worktable, at this time, the worktable can smoothly drive the workpiece to rotate.

Here, the first preset position is set as the position of the cross beam 3 when the pressing assembly 5 presses the workpiece, and the second preset position is set as the position of the cross beam 3 when the pressing assembly 5 moves away from the workpiece.

[0045] In some embodiments, the double-station gantry for machining center further comprises a limiting block 7 for limiting the movement range of the side support 2, so that the cross beam 3 can be accurately stopped when moving to the first preset position or the second preset position.

[0046] In some embodiments, the limiting block 7 is formed with a positioning notch 71, and the side support 2 is located in the positioning notch 71 when moving to the first preset position; in this way, the movement of the side support 2 can be prevented from deviating from the preset track, and the cross beam 3 can be ensured to move to the first preset position or the second preset position.

[0047] In some embodiments, a buffer 72 is installed on the limiting block 7, and the side support 2 is in contact with the buffer 72 when moving to the first preset position; the arrangement of the buffer 72 can avoid the rigid collision between the side support 2 and the limiting block, which not only reduces the risk of damage to the side support 2, but also reduces the risk of position deviation of the pressing assembly 5 due to vibration.

[0048] In some embodiments, the main support 1 is provided with a controller 8; the controller 8 can be used to control the driving member 4 to run, so as to control the rotation of the cross beam 3.

[0049] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the structure is not limited to the shapes described above, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
