Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining center technology, and in particular to a profile machining center that is easy to assemble. Background Technology

[0002] Machining centers typically include a worktable, protective cover, chip conveyor, and tool module, among other components. The protective cover is mounted on the worktable for safety. The chip conveyor removes waste chips after cutting. The tool module is used to process the workpiece. The protective cover is usually composed of multiple pieces, and some covers are directly mounted on the worktable, which interferes with the installation of the chip conveyor and makes its placement inconvenient.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number CN201922209216.X discloses a base for a CNC gantry machining center, specifically disclosing that "the stop door on the protective cover is opened, the workpiece is fixedly installed on the worktable, the stop door is then closed, and two servo motors are driven to move the worktable to the machining station. During machining, due to the presence of the protective cover, metal chips are blocked inside the protective cover and will not fall to other positions on the support. After the workpiece is machined, the stop door is opened to sweep the metal chips from the worktable into the support, thus achieving chip collection." It can be seen that the protective cover on the worktable affects the setting of the chip conveyor and cannot remove chips in real time.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent application number CN202222702907.5 describes a gantry machining center where a protective cover is directly installed on the worktable. This design also affects the setting of the chip conveyor, preventing real-time chip removal. Utility Model Content
