Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool equipment technology, specifically to a machine tool worktable equipped with a slide system. Background Technology
[0002] The worktable is one of the most important components of a machine tool, serving as the main platform for supporting the machine tool's machining components and the workpiece to be processed. With the development of machine tool processing technology, the machine tool worktable is no longer a single platform, but rather a platform with multi-directional movement capabilities, equipped with a sliding system to drive the flexible movement of various components.
[0003] Most existing slides are mounted on slide rails, which are usually fixed to the worktable with screws. Although this installation method is simple and convenient, during long-term operation, the vibration of the machine tool will be transmitted to the slide rail, causing the slide rail to vibrate or deviate slightly. Over time, the screws connecting the slide rail will loosen, thus affecting the stability of the entire slide system and the machining accuracy of the machine tool.
[0004] Furthermore, in many machining processes, coolant is sprayed onto the machining area to cool or rinse the workpiece. This coolant will inevitably splash into the area where the slide is located. If there is a lack of drainage measures, the liquid will accumulate in the area where the slide is located, which will have an adverse effect on the slide and will also increase the amount of cleaning work after machining. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a machine tool worktable equipped with a slide system.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A machine tool worktable equipped with a slide system includes a table surface, a working area and a slide area on the table surface, a first base along the length of the slide area, a pair of parallel first slide rail supports on the first base, a first mounting groove on each of the first slide rail supports, a first slide rail mounted on each of the first mounting grooves, a plurality of first sliders on each of the pair of first slide rails, the first sliders being used to connect and support the first slide; a first limiting groove on one side of the first mounting groove, a plurality of first limiting blocks within the first limiting groove, one side of each first limiting block abutting against the first slide rail, and a discharge notch communicating with the first limiting groove on the side wall of the first slide rail support.
[0008] This machine tool worktable equipped with a slide system improves the installation method of the slide rails and slides, which not only enhances the working stability and movement accuracy of the slides, but also facilitates the discharge of sprayed coolant (oil) during machine tool operation, preventing coolant (oil) from accumulating in the slide area. Furthermore, it provides multi-directional guidance and movement functions, offering a flexible bottom sliding support structure for machine tool processing.
[0009] The first mounting groove facilitates accurate installation of the first slide rail. Combined with the setting of several first limiting blocks, it can limit and fix the first slide rail on both sides in the width direction, reducing the shaking or displacement that may occur during long-term load operation, and helping to maintain the stability of the entire slide system.
[0010] In addition to connecting and installing the first limiting block, the first limiting groove also serves as a flow channel. In conjunction with the setting of the discharge notch, it can guide and discharge the coolant left from above onto the platform, reducing the accumulation of coolant on the first slide rail or the first slide rail support. This is beneficial for the recycling and reuse of coolant and also reduces the amount of cleaning work after processing.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom width of the first slide rail is not less than the width of the first mounting groove, and the first limiting groove is arranged lower than the first mounting groove, which is conducive to the liquid flowing from top to bottom.
[0012] Furthermore, the groove wall of the first limiting groove away from the first slide rail is an inclined wall, one side of the first limiting block is a flat surface to abut the first slide rail, and the other side of the first limiting block is an inclined surface to cooperate with the inclined wall. A flow gap is provided between the bottom surface of the first limiting block and the bottom of the first limiting groove so that liquid can pass under the first limiting block.
[0013] Furthermore, the discharge gap is staggered from the first limiting block, the bottom surface of the discharge gap is not higher than the bottom of the first limiting groove, and the length of the discharge gap is not less than 50mm.
[0014] Furthermore, a first drive motor is provided in the area between a pair of first slide rail supports, and a first lead screw is connected to the output end of the first drive motor. The first lead screw is connected to the first slide block through a lead screw sleeve.
[0015] Furthermore, the first slide block is provided with a pair of parallel second slide rail supports, which are arranged perpendicularly to the first slide rail supports in space. The second slide rail supports are provided with a second mounting groove along the width direction of the platform. The second mounting groove is provided with a second slide rail, and the second slide rail is provided with a plurality of second sliders for connecting and supporting the second slide block. A second limiting groove is provided on one side of the second mounting groove, and a plurality of second limiting blocks are provided in the second limiting groove that abut against the second slide rail.
[0016] The arrangement and function of the second mounting groove, the second limiting groove, and the second limiting block are basically the same as those of the first mounting groove, the first limiting groove, and the first limiting block in Embodiment 1. While improving the installation stability of the second slide rail, they also facilitate the discharge of coolant from above.
[0017] Furthermore, the second limiting groove is set lower than the second mounting groove, and the bottom width of the second slide rail is not less than the width of the second mounting groove.
[0018] Furthermore, the groove wall of the second limiting groove away from the second slide rail is an inclined wall, one side of the second limiting block is a flat surface to abut against the second slide rail, and the other side of the second limiting block is an inclined surface to cooperate with the inclined wall.
[0019] Furthermore, a flow gap is provided between the bottom surface of the second limiting block and the bottom of the second limiting groove, and the bottom of the second limiting groove is provided with a slope that inclines towards the center of the platform.
[0020] Furthermore, a second drive motor is provided in the area between a pair of second slide rail supports, and a second lead screw is connected to the output end of the second drive motor. The second lead screw is connected to the second slide block through a lead screw sleeve. The first slide block is also provided with a vertical through hole between a pair of second slide rail supports, and the vertical through hole is located in the vertical area between the first slide rail supports.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The machine tool worktable equipped with the slide system improves the installation method of the slide rails and slide blocks, which not only enhances the working stability and movement accuracy of the slide blocks, but also facilitates the discharge of sprayed coolant (oil) during machine tool operation, preventing coolant (oil) from accumulating in the slide block area. Furthermore, it provides multi-directional guiding and movement functions, offering a flexible bottom sliding support structure for machine tool processing; 2. The installation groove facilitates accurate installation of the slide rails. Combined with the setting of several limiting blocks, it can limit and fix the slide rails on both sides of the width direction, reducing the risk of damage to the slide rails during long-term load operation. The possible shaking or displacement helps maintain the stability of the entire slide system; 3. After the mounting groove walls and limiting blocks on both sides of the slide rail form a limit, the sliding of the slide rail can be largely avoided, which can also prevent the bolts or screws from loosening due to shaking, and thus prevent the slide rail from becoming loose and unstable; 4. In addition to connecting the mounting limiting blocks, the limiting groove also acts as a flow channel. With the setting of the discharge notch or slope, the coolant left from above can be guided and discharged onto the platform, reducing the accumulation of coolant on the slide rail or slide rail support. This is beneficial for the recycling and reuse of coolant and also reduces the amount of cleaning work after processing. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0030] 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
[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a machine tool worktable equipped with a slide system includes a table surface 1. The table surface 1 has a working area 101 and a slide area 102. The slide area 102 has a first base 2 along the length of the table surface 1. The first base 2 has a pair of parallel first slide rail supports 201. The first slide rail supports 201 are respectively provided with first mounting grooves 3. First slide rails 4 are respectively installed on the first mounting grooves 3. A plurality of first sliders 5 are respectively provided on the pair of first slide rails 4. The first sliders 5 are used to connect and support first slides 6. A first limiting groove 7 is provided on one side of the first mounting groove 3. A plurality of first limiting blocks 8 are provided in the first limiting groove 7. One side of the first limiting block 8 abuts against the first slide rail 4. The first slide rail support 201 also has a discharge notch 9 communicating with the first limiting groove 7 on the side wall where the first limiting groove 7 is provided.
[0032] This machine tool worktable equipped with a slide system improves the installation method of the slide rails and slides, which not only enhances the working stability and movement accuracy of the slides, but also facilitates the discharge of sprayed coolant (oil) during machine tool operation, preventing coolant (oil) from accumulating in the slide area. Furthermore, it provides multi-directional guidance and movement functions, offering a flexible bottom sliding support structure for machine tool processing.
[0033] The first mounting groove 3 is designed to facilitate the accurate installation of the first slide rail 4. In conjunction with the design of several first limiting blocks 8, the first slide rail 4 can be limited and fixed on both sides in the width direction, reducing the shaking or displacement that may occur during long-term load operation of the first slide rail 4, and helping to maintain the stability of the entire slide system.
[0034] For the first slide rail 4, it has several vertical connecting holes that correspond one-to-one with the first slide rail support. It is connected and fixed by several bolts or screws. When the first mounting groove 3 and the first limiting block 8 form a limit on both sides, the sliding of the first slide rail 4 can be largely avoided, which can also avoid the loosening of bolts or screws caused by shaking, thereby avoiding the slide rail from becoming loose and unstable.
[0035] In addition to connecting and installing the first limiting block 8, the first limiting groove 7 also serves as a guide. In conjunction with the setting of the discharge notch 9, it can guide and discharge the coolant left above onto the table surface 1, reducing the accumulation of coolant on the first slide rail 4 or the first slide rail support 201. This is beneficial for the recycling and reuse of coolant and also reduces the amount of cleaning work after processing.
[0036] The working area 101 and the slide area 102 are the two main functional areas on the table. For the machine tool, the slide system in the slide area 102 can support components such as columns, rotary mechanisms, and cutting tools used for machining. The working area 101 can support components such as work platforms, clamping mechanisms, and positioning mechanisms to fix the workpiece to be machined, facilitating machining. In machining processes, such as cutting and grinding, a cooling system needs to spray a large amount of coolant into the machining area to remove heat and grinding metal powder. The table surface 1 of this machine tool has a very slight slope and a drain outlet in one corner to drain the coolant flowing onto the table surface 1.
[0037] Furthermore, the bottom width of the first slide rail 4 is not less than the width of the first mounting groove 3, and the first limiting groove 7 is arranged lower than the first mounting groove 3.
[0038] The bottom width of the first slide rail 4 is slightly larger than the width of the first mounting groove 3, and a chamfer 10 is provided at the lower edge. This setting allows the bottom of the first slide rail 4 to be placed flat on the first mounting groove 3, and also allows the bottom side of the first slide rail 4 to protrude slightly towards the first limiting groove, so that the side wall of the first limiting block 8 can abut against the bottom side wall of the first slide rail 4.
[0039] The first limiting groove 7 is arranged lower than the first mounting groove 3, which is to facilitate the flow of liquid from top to bottom to guide the liquid flow, and also to avoid the first limiting block 8 being too high, so as to avoid motion interference with the first slider 5 on the first slide rail 4.
[0040] Furthermore, the discharge notch 9 is staggered from the first limiting block 8 to avoid affecting the installation of the first limiting block 8. The bottom surface of the discharge notch 9 is not higher than the bottom of the first limiting groove 7 so as to discharge the liquid in the first limiting groove 7. The length of the discharge notch 9 is about 90mm.
[0041] Furthermore, the groove wall of the first limiting groove 7 away from the first slide rail 4 is an inclined wall 11, one side of the first limiting block 8 is a flat surface to abut against the first slide rail 4, the other side of the first limiting block 8 is an inclined surface 12 to cooperate with the inclined wall 11, and a flow gap is provided between the bottom surface of the first limiting block 8 and the bottom of the first limiting groove 7.
[0042] The first limiting block 8 is connected and fixed to the first slide rail support in the first limiting groove 7 by screws. However, the bottom of the first limiting block 8 does not directly contact the bottom of the first limiting groove 7, leaving a flow gap. This facilitates the flow of liquid throughout the first limiting groove 7 and prevents the first limiting block 8 from obstructing the flow of liquid. The inclined surface 12 and the inclined wall 11 act as a wedge-shaped limiter, which helps to leave the flow gap and also effectively engages the first limiting block 8 in the first limiting groove 7.
[0043] Furthermore, a first drive motor 13 is provided in the first base area between a pair of first slide rail supports 201, and a first lead screw 14 is connected to the output end of the first drive motor 13. The first lead screw 14 is connected to the first slide block 6 through a lead screw sleeve. The first drive motor 13 drives the first lead screw 14 to rotate, and the first slide block 6 moves along the first lead screw 14 and the first slide rail 4 through the lead screw sleeve. Example 2
[0044] This embodiment adds a second slide and its related structures based on embodiment 1.
[0045] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first slide block 6 is provided with a pair of parallel second slide rail supports 601. The second slide rail supports 601 and the first slide rail supports 201 are arranged perpendicularly in space. The second slide rail supports 601 are provided with a second mounting groove 15 along the width direction of the platform. The second mounting groove 15 is provided with a second slide rail 16. The second slide rail 16 is provided with a plurality of second sliders 17. The second sliders 17 are used to connect and support the second slide block 18. A second limiting groove 19 is provided on one side of the second mounting groove 15. The second limiting groove 19 is provided with a plurality of second limiting blocks 20 that abut against the second slide rail 16.
[0046] The first slide rail 4 and the second slide rail 16 can form sliding guides in two directions, namely the X and Y directions of the machine tool. Combined with the first slide block 6 and the second slide block 18, this enables the entire tool to move in the X and Y directions. The arrangement and function of the second mounting groove 15, the second limiting groove 19, and the second limiting block 20 are basically the same as those of the first mounting groove, the first limiting groove, and the first limiting block in Embodiment 1. While improving the installation stability of the second slide rail 16, they also facilitate the drainage of coolant above.
[0047] Specifically, the second limiting groove 19 is set lower than the second mounting groove 15, and the bottom width of the second slide rail 16 is slightly larger than the width of the second mounting groove 15. The groove wall of the second limiting groove 19 away from the second slide rail 16 is an inclined wall, one side of the second limiting block 20 is a flat surface to abut against the second slide rail 16, and the other side of the second limiting block 20 is an inclined surface to cooperate with the inclined wall.
[0048] Furthermore, a flow gap is provided between the bottom surface of the second limiting block 20 and the bottom of the second limiting groove 19, and the bottom of the second limiting groove 19 is provided with a slope that is inclined towards the center of the platform.
[0049] In this embodiment, the second limiting groove 19 is located in the middle area of the second slide rail support 601. Instead of opening a notch on the side, the slope of the bottom of the second limiting groove 19 is used to allow the liquid on it to flow downwards, and the direction of the flow is towards the middle area of the platform.
[0050] Furthermore, a second drive motor 21 is provided in the area between a pair of second slide rail supports 601, and a second lead screw 22 is connected to the output end of the second drive motor 21. The second lead screw 22 is connected to the second slide block 18 through a lead screw sleeve. Similarly, the second drive motor drives the second lead screw to rotate, and the lead screw sleeve drives the second slide block to move along the second lead screw and the second slide rail.
[0051] The first slide block 6 is further provided with a vertical through hole 23 between a pair of second slide rail supports 601. The vertical through hole 23 is located in the vertical region between the first slide rail supports 201. The arrangement of the vertical through hole 23 facilitates the direct flow of liquid above the first slide block 6 to the lower part.
[0052] 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.
