Description

A portable CNC machine tool simulation training machine Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of teaching and training equipment technology, and relates to the structural improvement of CNC machine tool simulation training machine, specifically a portable CNC machine tool simulation training machine. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-axis CNC machining is a high-tech, high-precision machining method specifically designed for processing complex curved surfaces. It has a significant impact on industries such as aviation, aerospace, military, scientific research, precision instruments, and high-precision medical equipment. Currently, vocational education institutions urgently need to cultivate highly skilled and qualified CNC application technology personnel, and the lack of suitable multi-axis CNC machining teaching equipment is a problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0003] Using real multi-axis CNC machine tools as teaching equipment is costly and carries risks such as personal injury due to misoperation during the teaching process.

[0004] Teaching using multi-axis CNC machining simulation training software means learners only use a mouse and keyboard for simulated operations, lacking an intuitive understanding of operation, resulting in a huge gap between learning from real machine tools and actual machine tool use.

[0005] Therefore, CNC machine tool simulation training machines have emerged on the market. These machines are integrated devices for CNC teaching and training, program verification, and machine tool safety simulation. They connect the control system of a CNC machine tool to a computer simulation software platform. By establishing an object model, they monitor various control strategies of the CNC machine tool, and the electrical control system can be debugged on this platform, realistically simulating the functions and signals of actual equipment, making the debugged controller behave like it controls the actual equipment.

[0006] The use of CNC machine tool simulation training machines for CNC machine tool operation simulation training simulates the machining scenarios of the current operating system, providing an efficient, practical, and easy-to-use CNC machine tool simulation teaching solution. This can fully meet the needs of colleges and enterprises and promote the technical improvement and cultivation of high-quality, multi-skilled talents in the field of intelligent manufacturing.

[0007] However, in pursuit of consistency with the appearance of real CNC machine tools, the CNC machine tool simulation training machines disclosed in related technologies typically design their main body to resemble the outline and size of a real CNC machine tool frame. Other structural or electrical components, such as the operation panel, display, machine tool handwheel, electrical control module, computer host, control switch, and power supply, are scattered in different locations within the main body. Designing the main body to resemble the outline and size of a real CNC machine tool frame results in a large overall size, a large footprint, and inability to be carried around, such as on business trips. This reduces flexibility, requires users to stand while operating, and can lead to fatigue during prolonged training sessions. Furthermore, the main body itself requires a large amount of material, resulting in high production costs and low space utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0030] In related technologies, CNC machine tool simulators typically include a main body, an operation panel, a display, a machine tool handwheel, an electrical control module, a computer host, control switches, and a power supply. The main body, operation panel, display, machine tool handwheel, electrical control module, computer host, control switches, and power supply are standard structural and electrical components in existing CNC machine tool simulators. The working principle of CNC machine tool simulators is the same as in existing related technologies and will not be elaborated further here.

[0031] The main body of the device is the main frame of the portable CNC machine tool simulator, which bears most of the structural and electrical components of the simulator. The operation panel, monitor, machine tool handwheel, electrical control module, computer host, control switches, and power supply are standard structural and electrical components of the CNC machine tool simulator; their working principles are the same as existing related technologies and will not be elaborated here. The electrical control module specifically includes a PLC module and a switch. The operation panel communicates with the computer host, the monitor communicates with the computer host, the machine tool handwheel communicates with the electrical control module, the electrical control module communicates with the computer host through the switch, and the network cable connects to the PLC module through the switch.

[0032] Unlike existing related technologies, referring to Figures 1 to 5, the CNC machine tool simulation training machine in some embodiments of this utility model is a portable CNC machine tool simulation training machine. The main body 10 of the device is a horizontal box shape, including a top plate 11, a bottom plate 16 and circumferential side plates. The top plate 11, the bottom plate 16 and the circumferential side plates are connected to form the box space of the main body 10 of the device. The operation panel 20 is installed on the top plate 11 of the main body 10 of the device for easy operation; the electrical control module 50, the computer host 60 and the power supply are installed in the internal space of the main body 10 of the device; the control switch 70 is installed on the top plate 11, the bottom plate 16 or the circumferential side plate, specifically on the circumferential side plate, and is exposed for easy operation; the display 30 is an independent component located outside the main body 10 of the device and is communicatively connected to the computer host 60 inside the main body 10; the machine tool handwheel 40 is an independent component located outside the main body 10 of the device and is communicatively connected to the electrical control module 50 inside the main body 10, and the electrical control module 50 is communicatively connected to the computer host 60.

[0033] Specifically, the circumferential side plate of the device body 10 is provided with a first socket 17 and a second socket 18 for communication connections between the display 30 and the computer host 60, and between the machine tool handwheel 40 and the electrical control module 50, respectively. The data cable of the display 30 communicates with the computer host 60 by connecting to the first socket 17, and the data cable of the machine tool handwheel 40 communicates with the electrical control module 50 by connecting to the second socket 18. The electrical control module 50 specifically includes a PLC module 51 and a switch 52.

[0034] The data output interface 100 for video output on the portable CNC machine tool simulator is also located on the circumferential side plate of the main body 10 of the device to make full use of the space of the circumferential side plate.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, a portable CNC machine tool simulation training machine can be a portable multi-axis CNC machine tool simulation training machine, such as a five-axis CNC simulation training machine.

[0036] The portable CNC machine tool simulator in some embodiments of this utility model has a different structure and outline shape of the main body 10 from conventional simulators. It is a horizontal box-shaped body, with the operation panel 20 mounted on the top plate 11 of the main body 10. The control switch 70 is mounted on the top plate 11, bottom plate 16, or circumferential side plate. The electrical control module 50, computer host 60, and power supply are built into the main body 10. That is, the operation panel 20, electrical control module 50, computer host 60, power supply, and control switch 70 are integrated on the horizontal box-shaped main body 10, resulting in a compact structure, small footprint, high space utilization of the main body 10, and less material usage, which helps to reduce the overall production cost of the machine. The display 30 and the machine... The machine tool handwheel 40 is located on the outside of the main body 10 of the device, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly of the main body 10, the display 30, and the machine tool handwheel 40 anytime and anywhere. For example, the display 30 is detachably connected to the computer host 60 inside the main body 10 via a data cable, and the machine tool handwheel 40 is detachably connected to the electrical control module 50 inside the main body 10 via a data cable. It is convenient, flexible, and portable, and can be used in various training and teaching settings. In addition, the CNC machine tool simulator in some embodiments of this utility model can be placed on any stable desktop or platform of suitable size, making it convenient for users to perform training operations in a sitting or standing posture, minimizing fatigue during long-term training operations.

[0037] Specifically, the outer contour of the main body 10 is a flat rectangular box shape, with a length L of 400-600mm, a width W of 400-600mm, and a height H of 150-200mm. The above size range is reasonable, which can provide sufficient installation space for the various components inside the box, and also make the main body 10 as small as possible so that it can be put into a regular suitcase for business trips.

[0038] The top plate 11, circumferential side plates, and bottom plate 16 of the rectangular box-shaped main body 10 can all be made of aluminum alloy plates, totaling 6 pieces. The 6 aluminum alloy plates are spliced ​​together, making it lightweight, easy to process, and with good heat dissipation performance.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the circumferential side plate includes a first side plate 12 and a second side plate 13 arranged opposite to each other. The first side plate 12 is provided with a plurality of side plate heat dissipation holes 121, and the second side plate 13 is provided with a heat dissipation fan mounting hole. A heat dissipation fan 110 is installed in the heat dissipation fan mounting hole, and the computer host 60 is arranged close to the second side plate 13.

[0040] By providing side plate heat dissipation holes 121 and cooling fans 110 on the oppositely arranged first side plate 12 and second side plate 13, when the cooling fan 110 is working, the cooling fan 110 can introduce cool external airflow through the side plate heat dissipation holes 121, allowing it to flow through the internal space of the main body 10 of the device to dissipate heat from the heat-generating components inside the box. This solves the problem of poor heat dissipation caused by the compact structure of the CNC machine tool simulator in some embodiments of this utility model. Since the computer host 60 is the main heat-generating component of the CNC machine tool simulator, its placement near the second side plate 13, and thus as close as possible to the cooling fan 110, can increase the heat dissipation effect on the computer host 60.

[0041] The positions of the side panel heat dissipation holes 121 and the cooling fan 110 should be avoided as much as possible from the internal structural and electrical components of the main body 10 of the device, so as to ensure that the internal structural and electrical components do not obstruct airflow and affect the heat dissipation effect.

[0042] Furthermore, there are multiple cooling fans 110, which are spaced apart along the length of the second side plate 13; multiple side plate heat dissipation holes 121 are also divided into multiple groups spaced apart along the length of the first side plate 12, and there are also multiple side plate heat dissipation holes 121 in each group, which are spaced apart along the height of the first side plate 12 to increase the air intake area and improve the heat dissipation capacity and effect.

[0043] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, there are two cooling fans 110, and multiple side plate ventilation holes 121 are divided into two groups spaced apart along the length of the first side plate 12, corresponding one-to-one with the two cooling fans 110. Of course, the number of cooling fans 110 and side plate ventilation holes 121 can be reasonably set according to the size of the main body 10 of the device, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, a second recess 122 is formed on the first side plate 12, and the side plate heat dissipation hole 121 is provided on the bottom surface of the second recess 122. The second recess 122 can reduce the weight of the first side plate 12 on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can make the side plate heat dissipation hole 121 achieve a certain degree of concealment design, thereby improving the appearance.

[0045] To further improve the heat dissipation of the computer host 60, a heat dissipation vent is provided on the casing of the computer host 60 (not shown due to viewing angle). A first heat dissipation hole 161 is provided on the base plate 16 of the main body 10, as shown in Figures 4 and 5. The first heat dissipation hole 161 is located near the heat dissipation vent and the cooling fan 110. When the cooling fan 110 is working, in addition to entering the internal space of the main body 10 through the side panel heat dissipation hole 121, the airflow also enters through the first heat dissipation hole 161. Since the first heat dissipation hole 161 is close to the heat dissipation vent and the cooling fan 110 of the computer host 60, it can provide additional and separate enhanced heat dissipation for the computer host 60, further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0046] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the electronic control module 50, the computer host 60, and the power supply are specifically mounted on the base plate 16 of the main body 10 of the device to ensure a stable installation structure. The base plate 16 of the main body 10 has a second heat dissipation hole 162 at the mounting position of the computer host 60, and a third heat dissipation hole 163 at the mounting position of the power supply, to further enhance the heat dissipation of the computer host 60 and the power supply individually, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0047] Support protrusions are provided at the four corners of the base plate 16 (not shown due to viewing angle) so that when the main body 10 of the device is placed on a table or platform, there is a gap between the base plate 16 and the table or platform for heat dissipation airflow, so that the heat dissipation airflow can smoothly enter the internal space of the main body 10 of the device through the second heat dissipation hole 162 and the third heat dissipation hole 163 of the base plate.

[0048] The electrical control module 50, the computer host 60, and the power supply can be fixedly mounted on the base plate 16 of the main body 10 of the device using mounting bracket screws, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, as shown in FIG4, a first recess 111 is provided on the top plate 11 of the device body 10. The bottom of the first recess 111 is open and through to communicate with the internal space of the device body 10. A support part 112 is formed around the bottom periphery and the middle of the first recess 111. The operation panel 20 is embedded in the first recess 111 and supported by the support part 112. Specifically, it can be fixed by adhesive or screws.

[0050] The depth of the first recess 111 is configured such that after the operation panel 20 is installed, the top surface of the base of the operation panel 20 is basically flush with the top plate 11 of the main body 10. The components on the back of the operation panel 20 extend into the internal space of the main body 10 through the open bottom of the first recess 111, so as to make full use of the internal space of the main body 10 and further improve the structural compactness of the CNC machine tool simulation training machine in this embodiment of the present invention. It can also be cooled by the cooling fan 110. At the same time, the through-hole design of the bottom of the first recess 111 can also facilitate the communication connection between the operation panel 20 and the computer host 60 via data cable.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, the power supply is divided into a first power supply 80 and a second power supply 90. The first power supply 80 is used to supply power to the computer host 60, and the second power supply 90 is used to supply power to other electrical components besides the computer host 60, such as the PLC module 51 and the switch 52.

[0052] The circumferential side plates of the main body 10 include a third side plate 14 and a fourth side plate 15 disposed opposite to each other. A through portion 151 is formed on the fourth side plate 15. The side of the computer host 60, where the panel portion 61 is located, abuts against the fourth side plate 15, with the panel portion 61 of the computer host 60 facing the through portion 151. The panel portion 61 of the computer host 60 is provided with a data interface 62 and a host switch 63. The through portion 151 exposes the data interface 62 and the host switch 63 of the computer host 60, facilitating the independent power-on and power-off operation and data input / output of the computer host 60.

[0053] Furthermore, both the third side plate 14 and the fourth side plate 15 have handle positions 19, which are located near the top plate 11 to facilitate the user in moving the main body of the device 10.

[0054] In some embodiments of this invention, the display 30 is a foldable dual-screen display 30, comprising an industrial display screen 31 and a CNC system touchscreen 32 folded together vertically. The industrial display screen 31 is on top, and the CNC system touchscreen 32 is on the bottom. The back of the CNC system touchscreen 32 is folded and connected to a bracket 33, facilitating the stable placement of the unfolded display screen on a desktop or platform. The industrial display screen 31 is used to display the CNC machining process, and the CNC system touchscreen 32 is used to simulate the CNC operation process and to simulate a real CNC machine tool to the greatest extent possible.

[0055] The 30-inch foldable dual-screen display makes it easy to store and further improves the portability of the simulator.

[0056] Since CNC machine tools are usually equipped with a mouse as a backup input device for convenient command input, in order to simulate a real CNC machine tool to the greatest extent, in some embodiments of this utility model, the CNC machine tool simulation training machine also includes a mouse 120. The mouse 120 is located outside the main body 10 of the device, that is, it is not integrated into the main body 10 of the device. Specifically, the mouse 120 can be wirelessly or wiredly connected to the computer host 60.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
