Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding beam technology, and in particular to a welding beam for a crane-type gantry machining center. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the aerospace industry, the size of related components is increasingly trending towards larger dimensions and lighter weight. When machining some composite material parts, long-stroke, large-span overhead crane gantry machining centers are often required. Overhead crane gantry machining centers are characterized by their compact structure and small footprint. The worktable is fixed and its movement speed is not affected by the weight of the workpiece. Therefore, crossbeams with long stroke, large span, light weight, good rigidity, and minimal deformation are particularly important. Currently, the crossbeams of overhead crane gantry machining centers on the market can be made by casting cast iron or welding structural components.

[0003] Cast beams are made by pouring molten iron into a pre-prepared mold, cooling it, and then cleaning and polishing it to obtain the desired shape, size, and performance. Welded beams, on the other hand, are often made from plates, pipes, and other structural components, which are cut and welded to achieve the desired shape, size, and performance. Cast beams, for the same stroke and span, are often heavier (the elastic modulus of gray cast iron is smaller than that of carbon steel), resulting in slower movement speeds and lower processing efficiency.

[0004] Welded beams cannot use the complex ribs and cavities of cast beams. Common welded beams rarely use curved shapes and are often straight plates; they cannot meet the processing needs of enterprises.

[0005] In view of the above, it is necessary to improve the existing welded beam structure to meet the current needs of welded beam use. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a welding beam for a crane-type gantry machining center, including a front plate, a back plate opposite to the front plate, a top plate above the front plate and the back plate, a bottom plate below the front plate and the back plate, flat irons for guide rails symmetrically arranged at the upper and lower ends of the front plate, flat irons for racks and pinions arranged on the front plate, and flat irons for grating rulers arranged on the front plate. The flat irons for racks and pinions are arranged between the flat irons for guide rails at the upper and lower ends, and the flat irons for guide rails, racks, and grating rulers are fixedly installed on the front plate.

[0007] As a further supplement to this technical solution, a number of longitudinal stiffeners are provided between the top plate and the bottom plate, and the longitudinal stiffeners are fixedly installed between the top plate and the bottom plate.

[0008] As a further supplement to this technical solution, the top plate, bottom plate, front plate, and back plate are also provided with several transverse stiffeners, and the longitudinal stiffeners are provided with multiple process grooves around their perimeter for installing the transverse stiffeners.

[0009] As a further supplement to this technical solution, the base plate includes fixed plates disposed on the left and right sides below the front plate and the back plate, and an arc plate disposed between the two fixed plates, the two ends of the arc plate being fixedly connected to the fixed plates.

[0010] As a further supplement to this technical solution, the back plate is provided with several wire threading holes.

[0011] As a further supplement to this technical solution, the front panel is provided with lifting holes on both the left and right sides.

[0012] Its beneficial effect is that the bottom of the crossbeam is a large-span arc plate, which arches upwards and can effectively counteract the sagging deformation of the crossbeam.

[0013] The beam is fitted with transverse and longitudinal stiffeners, and the transverse stiffeners near the bottom of the beam are welded to the arc plate in a conformal fit to enhance the arc plate's resistance to bending.

[0014] The internal transverse and longitudinal stiffeners are interlocked through process grooves, which improves the strength of the welded thick transverse and longitudinal stiffeners. Attached Figure Description

The two ends of the arc plate 42 are fixedly connected to the fixed plates 41. The base plate 4 is welded together from the middle arc plate 42 and the two fixed plates 41. The lower part of the front plate 1 and the back plate 2 are cut with arcs that resemble the middle arc plate 42. The two horizontal stiffeners 9 at the bottom are also cut with arcs that resemble the middle arc plate 42. In order to reduce the sagging deformation of the crossbeam, the bottom of the crossbeam is a large-span arc plate 42, which arches upward to effectively counteract the sagging deformation of the crossbeam.
