Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gantry milling machines, and more specifically, to a guide rail mechanism for a gantry milling machine. Background Technology
[0002] A gantry milling machine, or simply gantry milling machine, is a milling machine with a gantry frame and a horizontal long bed. Multiple milling cutters can be used simultaneously to machine surfaces on a gantry milling machine, resulting in high machining accuracy and production efficiency. It is suitable for machining large workpieces' planes and inclined surfaces in batch and mass production. CNC gantry milling machines can also machine spatial curved surfaces and some special-shaped parts.
[0003] Existing gantry milling machines generate a large amount of debris during operation. If this debris is not cleaned for a long time, it can easily fall off and adhere to the inner wall of the guide rail. Alternatively, it can enter the machine through the gap between the guide rail and the drive unit, which can seriously damage the machine and affect its service life. Therefore, it is necessary to manually clean the debris regularly. However, manual cleaning requires stopping the machine and waiting, making it impossible to process and clean at the same time, which seriously affects production efficiency. Therefore, we propose a gantry milling machine guide rail mechanism to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a guide rail mechanism for a gantry milling machine. This mechanism solves the problem that existing gantry milling machines generate a large amount of debris during operation. If the debris is not cleaned for a long time, it is easy to fall off and adhere to the inner wall of the guide rail. Alternatively, it may enter the machine through the gap between the guide rail and the drive device, which can seriously damage the machine and affect its service life. Therefore, it is necessary to manually clean the debris regularly. However, manual cleaning requires the machine to be stopped and cannot process and clean at the same time, which seriously affects the production efficiency.
[0006] 2. Technical Solution
[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0008] A guide rail mechanism for a gantry milling machine includes a guide rail, a drive connecting seat, and a base. The guide rail is fixedly connected to the interior of the base, and the drive connecting seat is slidably connected to the surface of the guide rail. A chip collection mechanism is fixedly connected to one end of the drive connecting seat, and a concentrating mechanism is movably connected to one end of the chip collection mechanism, with the concentrating mechanism located directly below the drive connecting seat. A release groove is formed on the inner side of the base near the chip collection mechanism, and a sliding groove is formed on the inner side of the base, communicating with the release groove. The release groove is arc-shaped on the side near the sliding groove. A discharge hole is formed at the bottom of the base near the release groove, and a collection drawer is provided at the bottom of the discharge hole. The collection drawer is slidably connected to the bottom of the base.
[0009] Furthermore, the debris collection mechanism includes a connecting block, a guide block, a connecting strip, a control strip, a return spring, and connecting members. A connecting groove is provided on one side of the top of the connecting block. The guide block is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block and is located on both sides of the connecting groove. The bottom end of the connecting strip is movably connected to the inside of the connecting groove via a rotating shaft. Connecting members are movably connected to both sides of the top of the connecting strip via rotating shafts, and the other ends of the connecting members are rotatably connected to both sides of the control strip. The bottom end of the control strip is rotatably connected to the side of the fixed strip near the connecting groove. The return spring is inclined and located directly below the connecting strip, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting groove and the inside of the control strip, respectively.
[0010] Furthermore, an electromagnet is provided at the bottom of the connecting block, and conductive strips are fixedly connected to both ends of the electromagnet, with the top end of the conductive strips fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block.
[0011] Furthermore, one of the conductor blocks is electrically connected to the drive connector via a wire, and the other conductor block is electrically connected to two conductive strips via wires respectively. The end of the connecting strip near the conductor block is made of conductive material.
[0012] Furthermore, the rear end of the control bar is fixedly connected to an extension bar, and the end of the extension bar away from the control bar extends into the interior of the slide groove, with sliders movably connected to both the upper and lower ends. The inner sides of the sliders are all arc-shaped, and the control bar is adapted to the release groove.
[0013] Furthermore, the central mechanism includes a conductive rod, a fan blade, and a drive motor. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the axis of the fan blade, and one end of the conductive rod is rotatably connected to the axis of the fan blade away from the drive motor. The conductive rod is also electrically connected to the drive motor.
[0014] Furthermore, the drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the drive connector, and the end of the conductive rod away from the fan blade is fixedly connected to the outside of the conductive strip, and the conductive rod and the conductive strip are electrically connected.
[0015] 3. Beneficial effects
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0017] (1) In this scheme, when the drive connector is energized and moves on the guide rail, the slider slides in the groove along the arc of the release groove, and at the same time drives the top of the control bar to move inward. When the slider is completely slid into the groove, the control bar is vertical. Then, during the alignment process, the control bar will push the front end of the connecting bar to insert and stick to the corresponding guide block through the connector. The reset spring is squeezed by force. Therefore, the guide block, connecting bar and conductive bar complete the energization closed loop. At this time, the electromagnet uses electromagnetic attraction to process the debris that falls into the guide rail. This is beneficial to attract the debris generated during processing and prevent the debris from falling to the connection between the guide rail and the drive connector, causing wear on the guide rail or debris entering the drive equipment and causing equipment failure, affecting the service life of the equipment.
[0018] (2) This solution provides a motor to the drive motor through the conductive strip and the conductive rod, so that the motor starts and drives the fan blades to rotate, thereby concentrating the debris and blowing it toward the electromagnet. This helps to blow the generated debris toward the electromagnet and avoids the debris from sticking to the guide rail or the surface of the equipment and being unable to be automatically adsorbed and collected.

The side of the release groove 6 near the sliding groove 7 is arc-shaped.

The collection drawer 9 is slidably connected to the bottom of the base 3. Example
[0028] In view of the above embodiment 1, further description is provided, see reference. Figure 1 , Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 and Figure 5The debris collection mechanism 4 includes a connecting block 401, a guide block 402, a connecting strip 403, a control strip 404, a return spring 405, and a connector 406. A connecting groove 10 is formed on one side of the top of the connecting block 401. The guide block 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 401 and is located on both sides of the connecting groove 10. The bottom end of the connecting strip 403 is movably connected to the inside of the connecting groove 10 via a rotating shaft. Connectors 406 are movably connected to both sides of the top of the connecting strip 403 via rotating shafts, and the other ends of the connectors 406 are rotatably connected to both sides of the control strip 404. The bottom end of the control strip 404 is rotatably connected to the side of the fixed strip near the connecting groove 10. The return spring 405 is inclined and located directly below the connecting strip 403, and its two ends are... The connecting block 401 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting groove 10 and the inside of the control bar 404. An electromagnet 11 is provided at the bottom of the connecting block 401, and conductive bars 12 are fixedly connected to both ends of the electromagnet 11. The top end of the conductive bars 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 401. One of the conductive blocks 402 is electrically connected to the drive connecting seat 2 through a wire, and the other conductive block 402 is electrically connected to the two conductive bars 12 through wires respectively. The end of the connecting bar 403 near the conductive block 402 is made of conductive material. An extension bar 13 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the control bar 404, and the end of the extension bar 13 away from the control bar 404 extends into the inside of the slide groove 7. Slider 14 is movably connected to both the upper and lower ends. The inner side of the slider 14 is arc-shaped. The control bar 404 is adapted to the release groove 6.
[0029] When the drive connector 2 is energized and moves on the guide rail 1, the slider 14 slides along the arc of the release groove 6 into the slide groove 7, simultaneously driving the top of the control bar 404 to move inward. When the slider 14 is fully slid into the slide groove 7, the control bar 404 is vertical. During the alignment process, the control bar 404 pushes the front end of the connecting bar 403 through the connector 406 to insert and closely adhere to the corresponding guide block 402. The reset spring 405 is compressed. Thus, the guide block 402, the connecting bar 403, and the conductive bar 12 complete the energization closed loop. At this time, the electromagnet 11 is energized to attract the debris that has fallen into the guide rail 1, which is beneficial for facilitating the adsorption of the debris generated during processing and preventing the debris from falling to the connection between the guide rail 1 and the drive connector 2, causing wear on the guide rail 1 or debris entering the drive equipment, leading to equipment failure and affecting the service life of the equipment. Example
[0030] In view of the above embodiments 1 and 2, further description is provided, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The concentrating mechanism 5 includes a conductive rod 501, a fan blade 502, and a drive motor 503. The output end of the drive motor 503 is fixedly connected to the axis of the fan blade 502. One end of the conductive rod 501 is rotatably connected to the axis of the fan blade 502 away from the drive motor 503, and the conductive rod 501 is electrically connected to the drive motor 503. The drive motor 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the drive connecting seat 2. The end of the conductive rod 501 away from the fan blade 502 is fixedly connected to the outside of the conductive strip 12, and the conductive rod 501 is electrically connected to the conductive strip 12.
[0031] When the conductive strip 12 is energized, it also supplies power to the drive motor 503 through the conductive rod 501, which starts the motor and drives the fan blade 502 to rotate, thereby concentrating the debris and blowing it toward the electromagnet 11. This helps to blow the generated debris toward the electromagnet 11 and prevents the debris from sticking to the guide rail 1 or the surface of the equipment and being unable to be automatically adsorbed and collected.
[0032] Based on the above embodiments 1, 2, and 3, the principle is further described. In use, when the drive connector 2 is energized and moves on the guide rail 1, the slider 14 slides along the arc of the release groove 6 into the slide groove 7, simultaneously causing the top of the control bar 404 to move inward. When the slider 14 is fully slid into the slide groove 7, the control bar 404 is vertical. During the alignment process, the control bar 404 pushes the front end of the connecting bar 403 inward through the connector 406, inserting it into and tightly adhering to the corresponding guide block 402. The reset spring 405 is compressed. Therefore, the guide block 402, the connecting bar 403, and the conductive bar 1... 2. Once the closed-loop power supply is completed, the electromagnet 11 is powered on and attracts the debris that has fallen into the guide rail 1. The conductive bar 12 is powered on and simultaneously supplies the motor to the drive motor 503 through the conductive rod 501, causing the fan blade 502 to rotate. This concentrates the debris and blows it onto the electromagnet 11. After the drive rail 1 reciprocates once, when it returns to the starting point, the slider 14 slides out of the groove 7. At this time, the control bar 404 follows the slider 14 and tilts. At the same time, the connection bar 403 moves away from the guide block 402, the power supply circuit is disconnected, the fan blade 502 stops rotating and the electromagnet 11 loses its magnetic attraction. The debris attracted to the surface falls into the collection drawer 9 through the inlet hole 8.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
