Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "middle," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Example 1
[0029] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a CNC machine tool worktable includes a worktable surface 1 and a worktable peripheral wall 2 disposed below the worktable surface 1. The bottom inner side of the worktable peripheral wall 2 is provided with an inner folded edge 3. A plurality of support base plates 4 are provided between the inner folded edges 3 along the length direction of the worktable. A plurality of transverse support plates 5 and longitudinal support plates 6 connected to the worktable peripheral wall 2 are provided on the inner folded edges 3. The plurality of transverse support plates 5 and longitudinal support plates 6 are staggered to form a plurality of independent chambers. At least one row of chambers is provided with diagonal support plates 7 connected to adjacent transverse support plates 5 and longitudinal support plates 6. The transverse support plates 5, longitudinal support plates 6 and diagonal support plates 7 all extend upward and are connected to the inner top wall of the worktable surface 1. A plurality of clearance spaces 8 are provided at intervals on the outer side of the worktable peripheral wall 2 near the bottom. A downward penetrating connecting hole 9 is provided at each clearance space 8. The clearance space 8 and the connecting hole 9 are used to connect the support pad assembly of the worktable.
[0030] The CNC machine tool's worktable has a simple structure and good stability. By improving the structure under the worktable surface, the overall weight of the worktable can be reduced, while providing comprehensive support to maintain the stability of the worktable surface, which is conducive to improving the machining stability of the machine tool. Moreover, the worktable has good overall integrity and is equipped with a reasonable installation area, which facilitates the placement of the worktable.
[0031] By providing the inner folded edge 3 on the lower inner side of the workbench perimeter wall 2, in conjunction with the supporting base plate 4, the basic frame structure of the workbench can be formed. The inner folded edge 3 can connect multiple transverse support plates 5 and longitudinal support plates 6, forming multiple independent chambers. This structure provides excellent support without occupying a large amount of internal space and also helps to distribute the load on the workbench. Further enhancing support stability and overall rigidity by installing diagonal support plates within the chambers.
[0032] The workbench structure described in this application is very easy to manufacture due to its regular structure and shape. The workbench surface 1, the workbench perimeter wall 2, the inner folded edge 3, the supporting base plate 4, the transverse supporting plate 5, the longitudinal supporting plate 6, and the diagonal supporting plate 7 can be integrally formed ductile iron or gray cast iron structures, and can be mass-produced by casting. The clearance space 8 and the horizontal through holes can also be cast together, making the manufacturing process very convenient.
[0033] In some embodiments, the worktable surface 1, the worktable peripheral wall 2, the inner folded edge 3, the supporting base plate 4, the transverse supporting plate 5, the longitudinal supporting plate 6, and the diagonal supporting plate 7 can also be separately manufactured mineral plate structures, such as marble structural components. Worktables made of ductile iron and mineral materials have good vibration reduction and filtering effects. Mineral worktables also have insulation properties, which can improve the stability of machine tool operation and facilitate precision machining.
[0034] In this embodiment, the length and width of the workbench surface 1 are greater than the length and width of the workbench perimeter wall 2, but the length or width of the workbench perimeter wall 2 is not less than 70% of the length or width of the workbench surface 1, so as to ensure that the workbench perimeter wall can provide a more reasonable support effect.
[0035] Furthermore, the diagonal support plates 7 are arranged in a row of chambers in the middle area of the workbench. The multiple diagonal support plates 7 are arranged in sequence to form a wave-shaped structure. This structure can better distribute the force and form multiple continuous triangular areas, which is beneficial to improving stability.
[0036] Furthermore, the workbench perimeter wall 2, the transverse support plate 5, and the diagonal support plate 7 are provided with multiple sets of corresponding horizontal through holes 10. The horizontal through holes 10 facilitate wiring at the front and rear of the machine tool, or the passage of items. They also serve as lifting points for hooks, ropes, etc., to be connected for lifting and moving the entire workbench or machine tool. These horizontal through holes can also be used as heat dissipation channels later; cooling fans can be installed at these holes to reduce the temperature of the workbench.
[0037] In some implementations, for longer, larger worktables, such as those with... Figure 4 The workbench shown may have several X-shaped reinforcing ribs 12 on its peripheral wall 2, with each X-shaped reinforcing rib 12 disposed in a cavity near the peripheral wall 2. These X-shaped reinforcing ribs 12 can further improve the strength and support stability of the peripheral wall of the workbench, and their placement does not occupy a large amount of internal space.
[0038] Furthermore, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner side of the workbench perimeter wall 2 is provided with inner columns 11 at the locations where the clearance space 8 is arranged, and the horizontal depth of the clearance space 8 is greater than the thickness of the workbench perimeter wall 2.
[0039] The inner column 11 is installed here not only to improve the support strength and stability of the clearance space, but also to thicken the area so as to arrange these clearance spaces. The clearance space 8 extends into the inner column 11 to ensure that there is sufficient space to connect the subsequent pad assembly.
[0040] Furthermore, 3 to 8 of the aforementioned clearance spaces are arranged in the length direction, and 1 to 3 of the aforementioned clearance spaces are arranged in the width direction. Correspondingly, the number of the aforementioned pad assemblies is also 3 to 8 and 1 to 3. Example 2
[0041] This embodiment provides the connection and support structure for the CNC machine tool worktable in Embodiment 1, such as... Figure 6 As shown, each of the clearance spaces 8 is provided with a shim assembly below it. The shim assembly is connected to the connection hole by bolts and / or nuts. The shim assembly is set on the ground foundation 13. The bottom of the peripheral wall of the workbench with the clearance space 8 is provided with a thickened layer 19.
[0042] The ground foundation 13 is an excavated and cast concrete structure that provides sufficient and stable support. The depth of the ground foundation 13 depends on the soil conditions at the location, but it shall not be less than 800mm. The shim assembly not only supports the workbench, but also provides vibration damping through the selection of shim materials or types. The combined use of multiple shim assemblies can also adjust the levelness of the workbench. After the workbench is raised and supported, the internal space of the workbench can be connected to the outside from below, which is beneficial for ventilation and heat dissipation.
[0043] The thickening layer 19 can appropriately increase the thickness of the connection, which is beneficial to improving the local stress distribution. The thickness of the thickening layer 19 is 5-10 mm.
[0044] Depending on the style of the pad assembly, the following two connection methods can be adopted. Both methods use a pre-embedded structure, which helps to improve the stability of the support connection structure.
[0045] Method 1, such as Figure 7 As shown, the shim assembly includes a shim body 14, the bottom of which is provided with a connecting rib 18 with a hook, the connecting rib 18 being embedded in the ground foundation 13, the top of which is provided with a connecting countersunk hole 15, the connecting countersunk hole 15 being correspondingly provided with the connecting hole 9 and connected by bolts 16, and a gasket 20 being provided between the shim body 14 and the thickened layer 19.
[0046] In this method, the shim body 14 and the hooked connecting rib 18 below it are integral structures. When the ground foundation 13 is poured, the connecting rib 18 is pre-embedded in a preset position, and the shim body 14 is also positioned in the preset position. After connecting bolts 16 through the countersunk holes 15 on the shim body 14, the shim 20 is laid on it, and then the workbench is suspended above these shim bodies. After aligning the connecting holes with these bolts, the workbench is placed and locked with nuts 17. Alternatively, the workbench can be placed on these shim bodies first, the connecting holes and countersunk holes are aligned, and then the bolts are connected through the clearance space.
[0047] Method 2, such as Figure 8 As shown, the pad assembly includes a pad body 14, the pad body 14 is provided with a vertical through hole 21, a connecting rib 18 with a hook is connected in the vertical through hole 21, one end of the connecting rib 18 with the hook is pre-embedded in the ground foundation 13, the connecting rib 18 passes upward through the vertical through hole 21 and the connecting hole 9 and extends into the clearance space 8 and is fastened by a nut 17, and a gasket is also provided between the pad body and the thickened layer.
[0048] In this method, the shim body 14 and the hooked connecting rib 18 are separate structures. These connecting ribs 18 are pre-embedded at predetermined positions during the ground foundation pouring. Then, the shim bodies are installed one by one, a workbench is placed, and finally, nuts are used for tightening. The hooks below the connecting ribs 18 enhance the bonding ability with the concrete. In this method, the upper section of the connecting rib 18 has external threads for connecting nuts.
[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
