Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of multi-head vertical lathe technology, specifically to a multi-head vertical CNC lathe. Background Technology

[0002] A single-head vertical CNC lathe mainly consists of a spindle box and a tool holder. The spindle box performs the following actions: clamping or releasing the workpiece, feeding the tool holder longitudinally and laterally to cut the workpiece, and providing cutting power. These actions are controlled by the machine tool's programmable logic controller (PLC). The tool holder can be fixed or electrically rotary. Patent CN201620107192.0 discloses a multi-head vertical CNC lathe, which uses multiple vertical heads and has significant advantages over a single-head lathe, increasing productivity by more than double and reducing operator requirements. However, in the use of multi-head vertical CNC lathes, a chain-type chip conveyor is used to discharge the chips generated by the lathe. This chain-type chip conveyor operates continuously, even when there are few chips, which is resource-intensive. Therefore, we propose a multi-head vertical CNC lathe. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a multi-head vertical CNC lathe.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a multi-head vertical CNC lathe, including a multi-head lathe body, a frame for support is assembled on the outer wall surface of the multi-head lathe body, and a hopper for guiding material is slidably installed in the frame, a weighing body for measuring is assembled between the hopper and the frame, and a conveyor belt for guiding material is assembled on the inner side of the hopper.

[0005] The discharge end of the frame bucket is hinged to a baffle for sealing via a rotating shaft, and corresponding lugs are installed between the baffle and the frame. There are multiple sets of lugs, and two sets of lugs are hinged to an electric push rod for adjustment via a rotating shaft. A trolley corresponding to the discharge end of the conveyor belt is provided on the inner side of the frame.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, during the use of a multi-head vertical CNC lathe, the chips generated during the machining of the workpiece can fall into the hopper inside the frame, and can be guided by the hopper to accumulate on the surface of the conveyor belt. Then, the weighing body between the frame and the hopper can weigh the chips on the hopper and the conveyor belt, so that the conveyor belt can operate and transport and discharge the accumulated chips when the set weight is reached, thereby reducing the resources consumed by the continuous operation of the conveyor belt.

[0007] When the scale body weighs the debris on the surface of the hopper and conveyor belt to a predetermined value, the electric push rods on the two sets of lugs between the frame and the hopper will operate. The operation of the electric push rods will facilitate the pulling of the baffle at the discharge end of the hopper through the lugs, causing the baffle to swing and release the blocked discharge port of the hopper. Then the conveyor belt will operate to facilitate the conveying and discharge of debris. At the same time, the trolley in the frame can collect the discharged debris for easy subsequent cleaning.

[0008] Specifically, the inner wall surface of the frame is provided with arc-shaped grooves, and there are two sets of arc-shaped grooves. The outer wall surface of the baffle is equipped with slide rods that are slidably connected to the arc-shaped grooves, and there are two sets of slide rods.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding rod can be driven to slide in the arc groove when the baffle swings, thereby improving the stability of the baffle during swing.

[0010] Specifically, the side of the frame bucket near the conveyor belt and the outer end surface of the baffle are both bonded with protective sponge pads, and the inner side of the frame is integrally constructed with a baffle that abuts against the trolley, and the outer wall surface of the baffle is bonded with a protective rubber pad.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the sponge pad between the frame bucket and the conveyor belt can provide a certain degree of protection, which can reduce the abrasion caused by direct friction between the frame bucket and the conveyor belt. At the same time, the baffle inside the frame can easily abut against the trolley, which can limit its movement and allow the trolley to be stably placed inside the frame, making it convenient to collect debris. The rubber pad can protect the trolley and the baffle, reducing the abrasion caused by collision between the two.

[0012] Specifically, the inner side of the frame is equipped with vertical cylinders for limiting position, and there are multiple sets of vertical cylinders. The end of the frame bucket near the vertical cylinder is equipped with a vertical rod that fits into the vertical cylinder, and there are multiple sets of vertical rods.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical rod can easily slide and move in the vertical cylinder, and can provide auxiliary support for the frame bucket, so that the frame bucket can be raised and lowered stably, and the scale body can stably weigh the frame bucket and the debris on the conveyor belt.

[0014] Specifically, the outer wall surface of the frame is equipped with a controller that is electrically connected to both the scale body and the conveyor belt.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the controller can easily control the operation of the scale and the conveyor belt.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The technical solution of this application, through the design of a frame, hopper, conveyor belt and weighing body, allows the chips generated during the machining of workpieces in the multi-head vertical CNC lathe to fall into the hopper inside the frame and accumulate on the surface of the conveyor belt under the guidance of the hopper. The weighing body between the frame and the hopper can then weigh the chips on the hopper and the conveyor belt, so that the conveyor belt can operate and transport and discharge the accumulated chips when the set weight is reached, thereby reducing the resources consumed by the continuous operation of the conveyor belt.

[0018] 2. The technical solution of this application, through the design of baffles, lugs, electric push rods and trolleys, enables the electric push rods on the two sets of lugs between the frame and the hopper to operate when the debris on the weighing frame and the conveyor belt reaches a predetermined value. The operation of the electric push rods facilitates the pulling of the baffle at the discharge end of the hopper through the lugs, causing the baffle to swing and release the blocked discharge port of the hopper. Then, the conveyor belt operates to facilitate the conveying and discharge of debris. At the same time, the trolley in the frame can collect the discharged debris for easy subsequent cleaning.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-head vertical CNC lathe, including a multi-head lathe body 1, a support frame 2 mounted on the outer wall surface of the multi-head lathe body 1, a hopper 3 for guiding material slidably installed inside the frame 2, a weighing body 5 for measuring material is mounted between the hopper 3 and the frame 2, and a conveyor belt 4 for guiding material is mounted inside the hopper 3; a baffle 6 for sealing is hinged to the discharge end of the hopper 3 via a rotating shaft, and corresponding lugs 7 are mounted between the baffle 6 and the frame 2, and there are multiple sets of lugs 7, with an electric push rod 8 for adjustment hinged between two sets of lugs 7 via a rotating shaft, and a trolley 11 corresponding to the discharge end of the conveyor belt 4 is provided inside the frame 2.

[0026] During use, when the multi-head vertical CNC lathe is used, the chips generated during the machining of the workpiece can fall into the hopper 3 inside the frame 2, and can be guided by the hopper 3 to accumulate on the surface of the conveyor belt 4. Then, the weighing body 5 between the frame 2 and the hopper 3 can weigh the chips on the hopper 3 and the conveyor belt 4, so that when the set weight is reached, the conveyor belt 4 can operate and transport and discharge the accumulated chips, thereby reducing the resources consumed by the continuous operation of the conveyor belt 4.

[0027] When the weighing scale 5 weighs the debris on the surface of the hopper 3 and the conveyor belt 4 to a predetermined value, it can activate the electric push rods 8 on the two sets of lugs 7 between the frame 2 and the hopper 3. The operation of the electric push rods 8 facilitates the pulling of the baffle 6 at the discharge end of the hopper 3 through the lugs 7, causing the baffle 6 to swing and release the blocked discharge port of the hopper 3. Then, the conveyor belt 4 can facilitate the conveying and discharge of debris. At the same time, the trolley 11 in the frame 2 can collect the discharged debris for easy subsequent cleaning.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall surface of the frame 2 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 9, and there are two sets of arc-shaped grooves 9. The outer wall surface of the baffle 6 is equipped with a slide rod 10 that is slidably connected to the arc-shaped groove 9, and there are two sets of slide rods 10.

[0029] When in use, the swing displacement of the baffle 6 can drive the slide rod 10 to slide in the arc groove 9, thereby improving the stability of the baffle 6 during swing displacement.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the side of the frame 3 near the conveyor belt 4 and the outer end surface of the baffle 6 are both bonded with a sponge pad 14 for protection, and the inner side of the frame 2 is integrally constructed with a baffle 12 that abuts against the trolley 11, and the outer wall surface of the baffle 12 is bonded with a rubber pad 13 for protection.

[0031] During use, the sponge pad 14 between the frame bucket 3 and the conveyor belt 4 provides a certain degree of protection, reducing the risk of scratches caused by direct friction between the frame bucket 3 and the conveyor belt 4. At the same time, the baffle 12 inside the frame 2 can easily abut against the trolley 11 to limit its movement, allowing the trolley 11 to be stably placed inside the frame 2 for easy collection of debris. The rubber pad 13 protects the trolley 11 from the baffle 12, reducing the risk of scratches caused by collisions between the two.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the inner side of the frame 2 is equipped with a vertical tube 17 for limiting the position, and there are multiple sets of vertical tubes 17. The end of the frame 3 near the vertical tube 17 is equipped with a vertical rod 16 that fits into the vertical tube 17, and there are multiple sets of vertical rods 16.

[0033] During use, the vertical rod 16 can slide and move within the vertical cylinder 17, and can provide auxiliary support for the frame bucket 3, enabling the frame bucket 3 to rise and fall stably, so that the weighing body 5 can stably weigh the frame bucket 3 and the debris on the conveyor belt 4.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, a controller 15 is mounted on the outer wall surface of the frame 2, which is electrically connected to both the scale body 5 and the conveyor belt 4.

[0035] In use, the controller 15 facilitates the operation of the weighing body 5 and the conveyor belt 4.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, first, the corresponding structural components are installed in suitable positions. During the operation of the multi-head vertical CNC lathe, the chips generated during workpiece machining fall into the hopper 3 inside the frame 2 and accumulate on the surface of the conveyor belt 4 under the guidance of the hopper 3. Then, the weighing body 5 between the frame 2 and the hopper 3 weighs the chips on the hopper 3 and the conveyor belt 4. This allows the conveyor belt 4 to operate and transport and discharge the accumulated chips when the set weight is reached, thereby reducing the resources consumed by the continuous operation of the conveyor belt 4. Simultaneously, when the weighing body 5 reaches a predetermined value for the chips on the surface of the hopper 3 and the conveyor belt 4, it enables... The electric push rods 8 on the two sets of lugs 7 between the frame 2 and the hopper 3 operate. The operation of the electric push rods 8 allows the baffle 6 at the discharge end of the hopper 3 to be pulled through the lugs 7, causing the baffle 6 to swing and release the blocked discharge port of the hopper 3. Then, the conveyor belt 4 operates to facilitate the conveying and discharge of debris. At the same time, the trolley 11 in the frame 2 can collect the discharged debris for easy cleaning later. After the conveyor belt 4 has been operating for a period of time, it can stop the operation of the conveyor belt 4 and activate the electric push rods 8. The electric push rods 8 can push the baffle 6 through the lugs 7 and cause the baffle 6 to seal and protect the opening between the hopper 3 and the conveyor belt 4, so that the hopper 3 and the conveyor belt 4 can continue to collect debris.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
