Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of gantry machining centers, specifically to a gantry saddle belt device. Background Technology
[0002] A gantry machining center is a machining center whose spindle axis is perpendicular to the worktable, and it is mainly suitable for machining large parts. A saddle is a component used to connect the machine head to the crossbeam of a gantry machine tool. The machine head is fixed to the saddle, and the saddle can move in a certain direction on the machine tool crossbeam, simultaneously moving the machine head so that the machine tool can produce the required parts according to specifications.
[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with publication number CN210451793U, specifically disclosing a saddle for a gantry machining center, belonging to the technical field of gantry machining centers. This gantry machining center saddle includes a body with a through groove in which a Z-axis lead screw assembly mounting seat is fixedly connected; the inner sidewalls and bottom surface of the through groove have several Z-axis rail mounting positions; the Z-axis lead screw assembly mounting seat has several Z-axis lead screw mounting positions; the body is hollow inside and has several reinforcing ribs welded inside; both the surface of the body and the surface of the reinforcing ribs have several circular and rectangular perforations, significantly reducing the weight of the gantry machining center saddle and enhancing its overall rigidity and bending and torsional strength, maintaining a reasonable load-bearing capacity. Simultaneously, the perforated structure also enhances the heat dissipation capacity of the gantry machining center.
[0004] Although the saddle in the aforementioned patent has several circular and rectangular perforations on both the surface of the saddle and the surface of the reinforcing rib plate, which greatly reduces the weight of the gantry machining center saddle and enhances the overall rigidity and bending and torsional strength, while maintaining a reasonable load-bearing capacity, and the perforated structure also enhances the heat dissipation capacity of the gantry machining center, the existing saddle does not have a limit mechanism when moving on the gantry. This makes it easy for the saddle to collide with the equipment on the gantry machining center when it is used for machining on the gantry, thereby affecting the service life of the equipment on the gantry machining center.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a gantry saddle belt device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a gantry saddle belt device.

At the same time, the auxiliary belt and the No. 2 threaded rod drive the connecting saddle to slide at the bottom of the support beam. The lifting height of the support beam on the gantry machine tool is limited by the limiting chain, which prevents the support beam from colliding with the equipment on the gantry machine tool during movement. This solves the problem in the prior art that the existing saddle does not have a limiting mechanism when moving on the gantry, which makes it easy for the saddle to collide with the equipment on the gantry machining center when it is used for processing, thus affecting the service life of the gantry machining center equipment.

A limit chain is mechanically connected between the side of the limit rod away from the support beam and the outer wall of the gantry machine tool.
[0009] The horizontal mechanism includes a DC motor, which is mounted and fixed at the top of the supporting beam. A transmission box is sleeved on the output end of the DC motor and also mounted and fixed at the top of the supporting beam. A supporting shaft is rotatably connected inside the transmission box and extends into the supporting beam. Transmission bevel gears are machined at the top and bottom of the supporting shaft. A connecting bevel gear is connected to one side of the bottom of the transmission bevel gear and rotatably connected to the inside of the supporting beam. A second threaded rod is mechanically connected to the side of the connecting bevel gear away from the transmission bevel gear and rotatably connected to the inside of the supporting beam. A connecting saddle is sleeved on the outer wall of the second threaded rod and slidably connected to the bottom of the supporting beam. A connecting seat is machined at the top of the connecting saddle and slidably connected to the inside of the supporting beam.

[0011] Preferably, the outer walls of the auxiliary rod and the limiting rod are machined with limiting protrusions, and the outer walls of the gantry machine tool are provided with connecting grooves that match the auxiliary rod and the limiting rod, and the inner walls of the connecting grooves are provided with grooves that match the limiting protrusions on the outer walls of the auxiliary rod and the limiting rod.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0016] 1. By starting the servo motor, the servo motor drives the No. 1 threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the No. 1 threaded rod drives the support beam to move up and down on the gantry machine tool through the thread.

The limit chain is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the gantry machine tool and the limit rod through bearings, and is located in the middle of the outer wall of the gantry machine tool. This allows the limit chain to limit the height of the support beam as it moves up and down on the gantry machine tool, preventing the support beam from falling too low and colliding with the equipment on the gantry machine tool.
[0017] 2. By starting the DC motor, the output end of the DC motor drives the transmission bevel gear to rotate through the bevel gear. The rotation of the transmission bevel gear drives the support shaft to rotate. The rotation of the support shaft drives the connecting bevel gear to rotate through the transmission bevel gear. The rotation of the connecting bevel gear drives the No. 2 threaded rod to rotate. The No. 2 threaded rod drives the connecting saddle to slide at the bottom of the support beam through the thread. At the same time, the rotation of the support shaft drives the auxiliary belt to move through the transmission gear. The auxiliary belt is connected and fixed to the connecting seat. This facilitates the movement of the auxiliary belt and the No. 2 threaded rod to work together to drive the connecting saddle to slide slowly on the support beam, preventing the connecting saddle from sliding too fast and affecting the machining accuracy.

[0037] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-5 By starting the servo motor 201, the servo motor 201 drives the first threaded rod 202 to rotate. The rotation of the first threaded rod 202 drives the support beam 203 to move up and down on the gantry machine tool 1 through the thread.
