Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machine tool technology, specifically to an automatic tool retraction CNC machine tool. Background Technology
[0002] A CNC machine tool is an automated machine tool equipped with a program control system. This control system can logically process programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions, decode them, represent them with coded numbers, input them to the CNC device through an information carrier, and after calculation and processing, the CNC device sends out various control signals to control the machine tool's movements. It automatically processes parts according to the shape and size required by the drawings. Tool retraction is an important part of the CNC machining process. It involves how to safely and efficiently remove the tool from the workpiece after completing the cutting task. During the tool retraction process, it is necessary to ensure that there is a sufficient safe distance between the tool and the workpiece to avoid collision and damage. This is usually achieved by reasonably setting the tool retraction path and retraction speed.
[0003] Chinese patent CN221337791U discloses an automatic tool retraction CNC machine tool. By setting up a pressing device, when the clamping plate no longer clamps the workpiece, the pressing rod no longer inserts into the slot of the movable seat. At the same time, the pressing block is driven by the elastic potential energy of the telescopic spring to move automatically upward, thereby achieving the purpose of retracting the cutting tool, reducing the contact between the tool and the material, and protecting it. By setting a clamping rod in the clamping plate, the stability of the material during processing is improved.
[0004] In the aforementioned patent, after the cutting tool processes the workpiece, the clamping plate retracts, and the cutting tool moves upward to achieve tool retraction. However, this method suffers from a single retraction path and insufficient safety distance, which can lead to the cutting tool easily colliding with the workpiece. Therefore, it does not meet the existing requirements, and an automatic tool retraction CNC machine tool is proposed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

By installing a first slide and a second slide inside the machine tool body, the tool is fixed in the tool holder, and the tool holder can move back and forth along the first slide. The tool retraction slider drives the tool holder to move left and right along the second slide, so that the tool can automatically retract in multiple directions after machining the workpiece, avoiding the situation of the tool colliding with the workpiece, and solving the problems in the prior art.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. This utility model involves installing a first slide rail and a second slide rail inside the machine tool body. After the cutting tool is fixed in the tool holder, the tool holder can move back and forth along the first slide rail. The tool retraction slider drives the tool holder to move left and right along the second slide rail. The workpiece is fixed to the side of the tool holder by a three-jaw chuck. After the cutting tool finishes machining the workpiece, the cutting tool and the workpiece are in a close position. At this time, the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the tool retraction slider to move away from the workpiece, realizing linear automatic tool retraction. At the same time, the operator can control the tool holder to move back and forth along the first slide rail to realize multi-angle oblique automatic tool retraction, avoiding collision between the cutting tool and the workpiece and improving the flexibility of tool retraction.
[0017] 2. This utility model features a worktable below the tool holder, with movable plates and storage plates at both ends. When the worktable moves with the tool retraction slider, the left end of the worktable moves into the interior of the left movable plate, and the left movable plate moves into the interior of the left storage plate. The right end of the worktable extends out from the interior of the right movable plate, and the right movable plate also extends out from the right storage plate. This ensures that the waste material from the cutting of the workpiece by the tool is always located above the worktable, facilitating subsequent cleaning of the machine tool body and reducing the labor intensity of personnel.

[0024] To address the issue of a single tool retraction path and insufficient safety distance, which leads to easy tool collisions with the workpiece, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of an automatic tool retraction CNC machine tool, comprising a machine tool body 1 and a tool retraction slider 3. A base 103 is provided on one side of the machine tool body 1. A base plate 107 and a fixed seat 4 are provided between the base 103 and the machine tool body 1.

A three-jaw chuck 106 is located on the side of the machine tool body 1. A control panel 104 is located on the side of the base 103. A baffle 105 and a protective plate 108 are respectively located on both sides of the base 103. The tool retraction slide 3 and the fixed seat 4 are located between the baffle 105 and the protective plate 108. A first slide rail 201 is located on the top of the worktable 301. The tool holder 2 is mounted on the first slide rail 201. The two ends of the first slide rail 201 face the baffle 105 and the protective plate 108 respectively.

The driven wheel 404 and the driving wheel 406 are connected by a belt 405. The driven wheel 404, the driving wheel 406 and the belt 405 are all located inside the base 103.
[0026] After the cutting tool is fixed on the tool holder 2, the tool holder 2 can move back and forth along the first slide 201. The retraction slider 3 drives the tool holder 2 to move left and right along the second slide 401. The workpiece is fixed to the side of the tool holder 2 by the three-jaw chuck 106. After the cutting tool finishes machining the workpiece, the cutting tool and the workpiece are in a close state.

One storage plate 303 is installed inside the machine tool body 1, and the other storage plate 303 is installed inside the base 103. When the worktable 301... When the retracting slider 3 moves, the left end of the worktable 301 moves into the interior of the left movable plate 302, and the left movable plate 302 moves into the interior of the left storage plate 303. The right end of the worktable 301 extends out from the interior of the right movable plate 302, and the right movable plate 302 also extends out from the right storage plate 303. This ensures that the waste material from the cutting of the workpiece by the tool is always above the worktable 301, which facilitates subsequent cleaning of the interior of the machine tool body 1 and reduces the labor intensity of personnel.
[0028] Working principle: When the workpiece is fixed to the side of the tool holder 2 by the three-jaw chuck 106, after the tool has finished machining the workpiece, the tool and the workpiece are in a close state. At this time, the motor 407 drives the lead screw 403 to rotate, which in turn drives the retraction slider 3 to move away from the workpiece, realizing linear automatic retraction. At the same time, the operator can control the tool holder 2 to move back and forth along the first slide 201 to realize multi-angle oblique automatic retraction, avoiding the collision between the tool and the workpiece and improving the flexibility of retraction.
