Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal processing equipment technology, specifically to a vertical milling machine. Background Technology
[0002] A machine tool used for processing metals and other materials, which mainly uses a rotating multi-edged cutting tool, namely a milling cutter, to cut the workpiece. It can complete the processing of various complex shapes such as planes, grooves, gears, and threads. It is widely used in the fields of mechanical manufacturing and maintenance. During the process, spiral-shaped metal chips are generated, which are easily scattered and splashed when rotating at high speed.
[0003] Current milling machines lack a design to intercept and protect against flying metal shavings generated during the machining process. After machining is completed, there are usually a lot of scattered shavings around the equipment and on the ground, which are very inconvenient to clean up and can easily cause injury to workers during the flying process, resulting in insufficient safety.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, we propose an improvement: a vertical milling machine for machining. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides a vertical milling machine for machining, including a CNC vertical milling machine. Waste chip collection trays are fixedly welded to both sides of the tooling table of the CNC vertical milling machine. Chip guards are slidably installed above both ends of the tooling table. The two chip guards are symmetrical in size and are made of transparent PC board. A milling cutter seat opening is provided at the center of the edge of each chip guard's top end, which is close to the other. The milling cutter seat opening is semi-circular. Connecting lugs are fixedly installed on the bottom of each chip guard's front end, which is close to the other. Threaded holes are provided at the front ends of both connecting lugs. A threaded rod is threaded into the threaded hole of the right connecting lug.

Reinforcing rods are fixedly welded between the front and rear slide rail loading plates.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, auxiliary slide rails are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the two slide rail loading plates by bolts, and two loading sliders are slidably installed on the surfaces of the two auxiliary slide rails. The bottom of the front and rear ends of the two chip shields are respectively fixedly connected to the top surfaces of the four loading sliders by bolts, and the front and back sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the chip shield are in contact with the front and back sides of the tooling table.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, tooling openings are provided in the middle of the side surfaces of the two chip guards at their opposite ends, and buffer cotton, which is pearl cotton, is fixedly provided on the inner side of the two milling cutter seat openings.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the two chip shields are each fixedly mounted with a handle by screws at the center of their front sides, which are close to each other. The radius of the milling cutter seat opening is slightly larger than the cross-sectional radius of the cylindrical mounting base of the milling cutter rotating seat.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the threaded rod passes through two connecting lugs via a threaded hole and is threadedly connected to both of them, and a crank is coaxially fixed at the right end of the threaded rod.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This type of vertical milling machine can intercept most of the flying waste chips during the machining process, keeping them in the tooling table and the receiving trays on both sides, which greatly facilitates cleaning and ensures the safety of the machining process, preventing the occurrence of iron filings that could injure people.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0022] Example: Figures 1-6 As shown, a vertical milling machine includes a CNC vertical milling machine 1. Waste chip collection trays 2 are fixedly welded to both sides of the tooling table of the CNC vertical milling machine 1. Chip guards 6 are slidably installed above both ends of the tooling table. The two chip guards 6 are symmetrical in size and are made of transparent PC board. A milling cutter seat opening 7 is provided at the center of the edge of each chip guard 6 at one end. The milling cutter seat opening 7 is semi-circular. Connecting ear plates 10 are fixedly installed on the bottom of each chip guard 6 at one end by bolts. Threaded holes are provided at the front ends of both connecting ear plates 10. A threaded rod 11 is threaded into the threaded hole of the right connecting ear plate 10.
[0023] The CNC vertical milling machine 1 has slide rail loading plates 3 fixedly welded to the front and rear ends of both sides of the tooling table. The waste chip collection trays 2 at both ends are located above the two slide rail loading plates 3 on the left and right sides of the tooling table. Reinforcing rods 301 are fixedly welded between the front and rear slide rail loading plates 3.
[0024] Auxiliary slide rails 4 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the two slide rail loading plates 3 by bolts. Two loading sliders 5 are slidably installed on the surfaces of the two auxiliary slide rails 4. The bottom of the front and rear ends of the two chip covers 6 are fixedly connected to the top surfaces of the four loading sliders 5 by bolts. The front and back sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the chip cover 6 are in contact with the front and back sides of the tooling table.
[0025] The two chip shields 6 have tooling openings 601 in the middle of the side surfaces of their opposite ends. The inner sides of the two milling cutter holder openings 7 are fixedly provided with cushioning cotton 8, which is pearl cotton.
[0026] Two chip guards 6 are each fixed with a handle 9 by screws at the center of their front sides, which are close to each other. The radius of the cutter holder opening 7 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional radius of the cylindrical mounting base of the cutter rotating seat.
[0027] The threaded rod 11 passes through two connecting lugs 10 via threaded holes and is threadedly connected to them. A crank 12 is coaxially fixed at the right end of the threaded rod 11.
[0028] Working Principle: In operation, this type of vertical milling machine is used by installing the fixture on the worktable and clamping the workpiece. The milling cutter is driven to descend until the cylindrical mounting base of the milling cutter holder is at the height of the milling cutter holder opening 7. The two chip shields 6 are then moved together by the handle 9, so that the milling cutter holder opening 7 surrounds the milling cutter holder mounting base. Then, by holding both handles 9 with one hand and rotating the crank 12, the threaded rod 11 is driven to rotate until it passes through the connecting lug 10 at the other end, completing the fixed connection of the two chip shields 6. The workpiece can then be observed through the transparent chip shield 6 while the machining process is started. During the process, when the worktable moves with the fixture and workpiece, the movement of the chip shield 6 is restricted by the milling cutter holder mounting base. The auxiliary slide rail 4 of the worktable enables relative movement between the worktable and the chip shield 6. The fixture opening 601 ensures that the fixture does not interfere with the chip shield 6, greatly intercepting the flying metal chips and keeping most of the chips on the worktable.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
