Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of CNC machine tool technology, specifically to a slide mechanism with an oil receiving function. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial manufacturing, ram mechanisms are widely used as key components in various mechanical equipment, such as CNC machine tools, automated production lines, and precision machining equipment. Their main function is to support and guide the working devices (such as cutting tools and machining heads) connected to them, enabling them to move precisely along a straight path. However, in actual operation, the transmission system inside the ram mechanism requires lubricating oil to reduce friction and ensure smooth operation. This lubricating oil may accumulate or leak during use, affecting not only the equipment's working accuracy and efficiency but also potentially causing environmental pollution. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to overcome the existing defects and provide a ram mechanism with oil receiving function, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a ram mechanism with an oil-receiving function, comprising a ram seat and a square ram, wherein the square ram is located inside the ram seat, and a displacement drive for driving the square ram to move is provided on one side of the ram seat, the moving end of the displacement drive is installed at the lower end of the square ram, an oil drain hole is provided at the contact point between the square ram and the lower surface of the ram seat, the ram seat is a groove-shaped structure, and an oil-receiving hole corresponding to the oil drain hole is provided on the surface of the groove-shaped structure in the middle of the ram seat, the oil-receiving hole being connected to an oil collection tank provided below the ram seat.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a level gauge is installed in the oil collection tank.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the extended portions on both sides of the slide seat are fixed support frames.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a positioning and mounting hole is provided at the step at the upper end of the slide block, and a pressure plate is installed on it. The pressure plate is located above the square slide block, and an auxiliary sliding plate is provided between the square slide block and the pressure plate.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, side wing pads are provided on both sides of the bolster seat.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the slide block seat is designed with an inclined shape, and its bottom groove is high on both sides and low in the middle.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the number of oil receiving holes is eight, and the eight oil receiving holes are distributed along the inclined surface of the slide block seat and are symmetrically arranged.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, this application solves the common lubricating oil management problems in traditional equipment, enabling effective management and utilization of lubricating oil, reducing additional wear caused by insufficient or uneven distribution of lubricating oil, and thus extending the service life of transmission components. By setting an oil drain hole on the lower surface of the square slide block and setting an oil receiving hole at the corresponding position on the slide block seat, effective collection of lubricating oil is achieved. The inclined design allows the lubricating oil to flow naturally to the lowest point, ensuring that the lubricating oil does not flow randomly but is guided to a designated position, effectively avoiding the pollution of the working environment caused by lubricating oil accumulation or leakage. The liquid level gauge built into the oil collection tank can monitor the oil level in real time, ensuring timely cleaning, simplifying daily maintenance work, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application (for ease of description and understanding, hereinafter referred to as...), Figure 6 (The above is described above). All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-8 This application provides a technical solution: a ram mechanism with oil receiving function, including a ram seat 2 and a square ram 1. The square ram 1 is located inside the ram seat 2. A displacement driving member 3 for driving the square ram 1 to move is provided on one side of the ram seat 2. The moving end of the displacement driving member 3 is installed at the lower end of the square ram 1.
[0023] The square ram 1 is mounted on the ram seat 2 and can move back and forth within the ram seat 2. It supports and guides the working device (such as a cutting tool, processing head, etc.) connected to it, enabling it to move precisely along a straight path.
[0024] The square slide block 1 is equipped with various transmission mechanisms, each of which requires lubricating oil to ensure smooth and efficient movement of the square slide block 1.
[0025] The slide seat 2 serves as the carrier for the square slide 1. The slide seat 2 provides support for the square slide 1 and also provides a closed environment to ensure smooth movement. The slide seat 2 helps to collect and manage the lubricating oil generated during equipment operation, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the lubricating oil.
[0026] The displacement drive 3 is used to drive the square slide block 1 to move linearly along the slide block seat 2; normally, after the displacement drive 3 drives the square slide block 1 to the maximum stroke, the oil drain hole 10 of the square slide block 1 is still within the range of the oil receiving hole 9 of the slide block seat 2.
[0027] An oil drain hole 10 is provided at the contact point between the lower surface of the square ram 1 and the ram seat 2. The ram seat 2 has a groove-shaped structure. An oil receiving hole 9 corresponding to the oil drain hole 10 is provided on the surface of the groove-shaped structure in the middle of the ram seat 2. The oil receiving hole 9 is connected to the oil collection tank 4 located below the ram seat 2.
[0028] The oil drain hole 10 is located below the square slide block 1. It collects the lubricating oil or other liquids generated during the operation of the equipment and drains them out. This helps to keep the square slide block 1 operating normally and prevents increased friction or decreased precision caused by oil accumulation.
[0029] The slide block 2 adopts a groove design, providing a running track for the square slide block 1. Its structural characteristics also effectively manage and guide the oil flowing from the drain hole 10 to the receiving hole 9. This ensures that the oil does not flow randomly but is guided directionally to the designated position.
[0030] The oil receiving hole 9 is located on the surface of the middle groove structure of the slide block 2 and is used to receive the oil discharged from the oil drain hole 10. The oil receiving hole 9 acts as a bridge connecting the oil drain hole 10 and the oil collection tank 4, ensuring that the oil can flow smoothly into the oil collection tank 4 for centralized treatment.
[0031] The oil collection tank 4 is located below the ram seat 2 and is connected to the oil inlet 9, and is responsible for collecting the oil flowing in through the oil inlet 9.
[0032] Furthermore, a level gauge 11 is installed inside the oil collection tank 4.
[0033] The built-in level gauge 11 in the oil collection tank 4 can monitor the oil level in real time, ensuring timely cleaning and preventing overflow that could cause environmental pollution.
[0034] Furthermore, the extended portions on both sides of the slide block 2 are fixed support frames 5.
[0035] The extended portions on both sides of the ram seat 2 form fixed support frames 5, enhancing the stability and rigidity of the entire structure. The fixed support frames 5 are provided with multiple sets of positioning mounting holes for fixing their positions. Fasteners are connected to these positioning mounting holes to achieve the fixing and installation of this application.
[0036] Furthermore, there are multiple sets of mounting holes for positioning. The installer will first determine the optimal position of the fixed support 5 according to the specific requirements, and then install it securely using appropriate fastening methods.
[0037] Furthermore, a positioning and mounting hole is provided at the step at the upper end of the slide block 2, and a pressure plate 6 is installed on it. The pressure plate 6 is located above the square slide block 1, and an auxiliary sliding plate 7 is provided between the square slide block 1 and the pressure plate 6.
[0038] Positioning mounting holes are provided at the step at the upper end of the ram seat 2 to fix the pressure plate 6. Through precise positioning, the pressure plate 6 can be accurately installed in the designed position, providing necessary support and restraint for the square ram 1, preventing unnecessary displacement during operation, thereby ensuring operational stability and accuracy.
[0039] The auxiliary sliding plate 7 reduces the friction between the square slide block 1 and the slide block seat 2, making the square slide block 1 move more smoothly, while also reducing wear and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0040] The auxiliary sliding plate 7 is usually made of wear-resistant materials, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or other materials with a low coefficient of friction.
[0041] Furthermore, side wing pads 8 are provided on both sides of the bolster seat 2.
[0042] The side wing pad 8 is provided with mounting screw holes as additional mounting points for connecting with an external chain to assist in the lifting and lowering of this application.
[0043] Furthermore, the slide seat 2 is designed with an inclination, and its bottom groove is high on both sides and low in the middle.
[0044] The sliding ram seat 2 facilitates the natural flow and concentrated collection of oil. Because the bottom groove is high on both sides and low in the middle, the lubricating oil generated during operation will flow naturally along the slope to the lowest point, making it easier for the oil to be guided to the drain hole 10 and finally flow into the oil collection tank 4 through the oil receiving hole 9.
[0045] If the oil cannot be discharged in time when the equipment is running, it will lead to a decline in equipment performance or even cause malfunction. The slide block 2 is designed in an inclined form, which can use gravity to make the oil automatically collect at the lowest point in the middle and then be discharged through the preset oil drain hole 10.
[0046] Furthermore, there are eight oil inlet holes 9, which are distributed along the inclined surface of the slide block 2 and are arranged symmetrically.
[0047] During use: Determine the optimal position of the fixed support frame 5 according to actual needs, and securely install it using the positioning mounting holes and appropriate fasteners to ensure the overall structure of the ram seat 2 is stable and reliable. Positioning mounting holes are provided at the step at the upper end of the ram seat 2. Accurately install the pressure plate 6 in its designed position to provide necessary support and restraint for the square ram 1. Before starting the equipment, check whether each transmission mechanism inside the square ram 1 has been adequately lubricated. Carefully observe the reading of the level gauge 11 inside the oil collection tank 4, and clean the oil collection tank 4 regularly to prevent... To prevent oil spillage and environmental pollution, the displacement drive 3 is activated, causing the square slide block 1 to move linearly along the slide block seat 2 as required. Since the slide block seat 2 adopts an inclined design, with high sides and low middle, the generated lubricating oil or other liquids will automatically flow to the lowest point and be discharged through the oil drain hole 10. This ensures that when the square slide block 1 is at its maximum stroke, its oil drain hole 10 is still within the range of the oil receiving hole 9 of the slide block seat 2, ensuring that the oil can be effectively collected into the oil collection tank 4. When the highest point is reached, the oil is extracted through an external oil extraction component and returned to the square slide block 1 for repeated use.
[0048] It is worth noting that the condition of the auxiliary sliding plate 7 should be checked regularly to ensure that its material properties do not affect the smooth movement of the square slide block 1 due to wear. If necessary, replace the severely worn auxiliary sliding plate 7.
[0049] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
