Detailed Implementation

[0019] To better understand this utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to Figures 1-3. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] It should be noted that the accompanying drawings have been simplified for clarity. For example, in Figures 2 and 3, structures such as the rotating shaft 402 and the transmission belt 403 are not shown. Figure 2 also omits structures such as the baffle 201, the clamping cylinder 7, and the gantry frame 701. Furthermore, some components are shown in one drawing but omitted in others; for instance, the limiting baffle 206 shown in Figure 3 is not shown in Figure 2.

[0021] This utility model discloses a U-groove milling machine, comprising a frame 1, a workpiece table 2, a milling cutter 3, a milling cutter drive device, and a control switch. The control switch is preferably a foot switch (not shown in the figure). The foot switch can be fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame 1 or connected by a cable and placed freely on the ground. The frame 1 can be designed in various conventional styles, which will not be described in detail here. The milling cutter drive device includes a motor 401, a rotating shaft 402, and a transmission belt 403. The motor 401 drives the rotating shaft 402 to rotate via the transmission belt 403. The milling cutter 3 is mounted at the bottom of the rotating shaft 402.

[0022] The workpiece stage 2 is used to place and fix the workpiece to be processed. The workpiece stage 2 is slidably mounted on the frame 1 via linear guide rails 5. A push cylinder 6 is arranged between the frame 1 and the workpiece stage 2. The push cylinder 6 pushes the workpiece stage 2 to reciprocate along the linear guide rails 5, as shown in Figure 2. Two linear guide rails 5 are arranged on the left and right sides, and the push cylinder 6 is positioned between the two linear guide rails 5. The cylinder body of the push cylinder 6 is fixed to the frame 1, and the piston rod of the push cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the workpiece stage 2.

[0023] The upper surface of the workpiece table 2 is symmetrically equipped with baffles 201. Preferably, as shown in Figure 3, the baffles 201 are L-shaped, and a strip-shaped through hole 202 is provided on the horizontal plate at the bottom of the baffles 201. The horizontal plate is fixed to the workpiece table by bolts. The design of the strip-shaped through hole 202 allows the width between the two baffles 201 to be adjusted after loosening the bolts, thus accommodating workpieces of different specifications. An arc-shaped groove 205 that mates with the milling cutter 3 is provided in front of the workpiece table 2.

[0024] A clamping cylinder 7 for clamping the workpiece is installed above the center of the workpiece table 2. Specifically, the installation method of the clamping cylinder 7 is shown in Figure 3. A gantry frame 701 spans across the workpiece table 2, and the clamping cylinder 7 is fixed on the gantry frame 701. The milling cutter 3 is located directly in front of the workpiece table 2. After pressing the control switch, the milling cutter drive device drives the milling cutter 3 to work, and at the same time, the clamping cylinder 7 clamps the workpiece, and the push cylinder 6 pushes the workpiece table 2 forward.

[0025] Furthermore, in order to fine-tune the workpiece stage 2, the workpiece stage 2 includes a base 203 and a workpiece support plate 204. The workpiece support plate 204 is fixedly connected to the base 203 by bolts, and a strip-shaped through hole 2041 is provided on the workpiece support plate 204 for the bolts to pass through. Through the design of the strip-shaped through hole 2041, fine-tuning of the workpiece stage 2 in the front-back direction can be achieved.

[0026] A proximity switch 8 is provided on the frame 1 and on the side in front of the milling cutter 3. When the push cylinder 6 pushes the workpiece table forward to the position of the proximity switch 8, the push cylinder 6 pushes the workpiece table back to the origin.

[0027] A vacuum cleaner 9 is installed in front of the milling cutter 3 to remove sawdust from the cut surface. The outlet 901 is located on one side of the vacuum cleaner 9. A plastic or rubber sheet can also be installed on the limiting baffle 206 to seal the surrounding area and reduce sawdust leakage.

[0028] As shown in Figure 3, a limiting baffle 206 for blocking the wooden board is provided at the front end of the workpiece table 2. The limiting baffle 206 is fixed to the front end of the workpiece table by bolts or welding. Furthermore, the limiting baffle 206 is preferably L-shaped and extends towards the milling cutter 3. It is located on both sides of the milling cutter 3 and serves to block the sawdust produced during processing.
