During the machining process of a workpiece, CNC machine tools may generate debris or splashes of cutting fluid. To protect the tools inside the tool magazine, a cable-driven tool magazine safety door is needed.
[0003] The prior art, disclosed in CN222430133U, discloses a protective device for a tool magazine, which "includes a tool magazine body, a drive unit and a tool body connected to the drive unit are arranged inside the tool magazine body, and a cleaning unit is also arranged inside the tool magazine body. The cleaning unit includes a mounting frame fixedly connected to the tool magazine body, a power motor is fixedly connected to the mounting frame, the output shaft of the power motor is fixedly connected to an eccentric wheel, the eccentric wheel is located inside the frame, the frame is fixedly connected to a brush, and the brush is movably arranged inside the tool magazine body."
[0004] The aforementioned tool magazine protection device uses a drive motor to drive a screw to rotate in order to protect the tool magazine. However, with this drive method, the screw is exposed to the air, and debris, dust particles, and other impurities will accumulate in the grooves on the screw surface. During the movement of the moving block, it may jam or get stuck, which will result in the tool not being protected. This will also affect the operator's ability to process the workpiece, as well as the service life of the drive structure, and the maintenance and repair costs will be high. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model proposes a cable-driven tool magazine protective door, including a tool magazine frame with a U-shaped cross-section. The side wall of the tool magazine frame is provided with a protective component for protecting the tools.
[0008] Furthermore, the protective assembly includes a fixing plate and a limiting frame. The fixing plate is bolted to the side wall of the tool magazine rack, and the limiting frame is bolted to the side wall of the tool magazine rack. Two sets of first fixed pulleys are symmetrically installed on the side wall of the fixing plate, and multiple sets of second fixed pulleys are symmetrically installed on the side wall of the limiting frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the crossbeam of the limiting frame has a U-shaped structure, and a protective door body is installed on the inner wall of the top of the limiting frame. The protective door body has an accordion-style structure.
[0010] Furthermore, there are four sets of the second fixed pulleys. The first and second fixed pulleys are staggered in height. Steel cables are sleeved on the outside of the first and second fixed pulleys, and connecting blocks are detachably installed at the ends of the steel cables.

[0012] Furthermore, the cylinder output end is connected to the first fixed block, and the first fixed block and the first slider are sleeved on the outside of the steel cable.
[0013] Furthermore, two sets of second slide rails are symmetrically installed on the side wall of the tool magazine rack. A second slider is slidably mounted on the outside of the second slide rail. A lifting frame is bolted to the side wall of the second slider, and a second fixing block is bolted to the side wall of the lifting frame.
[0014] Furthermore, the lifting frame is connected and fixed to the bottom of the protective door body, and the second fixing block is sleeved on the outside of the steel cable.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This utility model proposes a cable-driven tool magazine protective door. The door body protects the tools. The arrangement of a cylinder, cable, first fixed pulley, second fixed pulley, first fixed block, lifting frame, and second fixed block allows for convenient and rapid opening and closing of the protective door body. It also facilitates maintenance and repair of the drive structure. The cable-driven structure prevents the opening and closing of the protective door body from being affected by debris or other impurities. The arrangement of a first slide rail, first slider, second slide rail, and second slider limits the movement of the lifting frame, ensuring stable movement. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further explain this utility model.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-5 This utility model proposes a cable-driven tool magazine protective door, including a tool magazine frame 1 with a U-shaped cross-section. The sidewalls of the tool magazine frame 1 are equipped with protective components for protecting the tools. The protective components include a fixing plate 2 and a limiting frame 3. The fixing plate 2 is bolted to the sidewalls of the tool magazine frame 1 and is used to install and fix the cylinder 9 and the first slide rail 10. The limiting frame 3 is bolted to the sidewalls of the tool magazine frame 1 and is used to limit the movement of the protective door body 6. Two sets of first fixed pulleys 4 are symmetrically installed on the sidewalls of the fixing plate 2, and multiple sets of second fixed pulleys are symmetrically installed on the sidewalls of the limiting frame 3. 5. With the first fixed pulley 4 and the second fixed pulley 5 in place, the traction force of the cylinder 9 can be transmitted. The cross surface of the limiting frame 3 has a U-shaped structure. The inner wall of the top of the limiting frame 3 is equipped with a protective door body 6 for protecting the tool magazine. The protective door body 6 has an accordion-style structure. There are four sets of the second fixed pulley 5. The first fixed pulley 4 and the second fixed pulley 5 are staggered in height. Steel cables 7 are sleeved on the outside of the first fixed pulley 4 and the second fixed pulley 5 for raising and lowering the lifting frame 15. A connecting block 8 is detachably installed at the end of the steel cable 7 for connecting and fixing the end of the steel cable 7.
[0026] A cylinder 9 is bolted to the side wall of the fixed plate 2 for pulling the first fixed block 12. A first slide rail 10 is bolted to the side wall of the fixed plate 2 for limiting the first slider 11. The first slider 11 is slidably mounted on the outside of the first slide rail 10. The first fixed block 12 is bolted to the side wall of the first slider 11. The output end of the cylinder 9 is connected to the first fixed block 12. The first fixed block 12 and the first slider 11 are sleeved on the outside of the steel cable 7 for fixing the steel cable 7 and ensuring subsequent pulling. Two sets of second slide rails 13 are symmetrically installed on the side wall of the knife magazine 1 for limiting the second slider 14. The second slider 14 is slidably mounted on the outside of the second slide rail 13 for installing and fixing the lifting frame 15. The lifting frame 15 is bolted to the side wall of the second slider 14 for opening and closing the protective door body 6. The side wall of the lifting frame 15 is bolted to... A second fixing block 16 is used to fix the steel cable 7. The lifting frame 15 is connected and fixed to the bottom of the protective door body 6. The second fixing block 16 and the lifting frame 15 are sleeved on the outside of the steel cable 7. The cylinder 9 drives the first fixing block 12 to move to the right or left. Under the limit of the first slide rail 10 and the first slider 11, the horizontal movement of the first fixing block 12 can be guaranteed. The movement of the first fixing block 12 drives the steel cable 7 to move. Under the limit guidance of the first fixed pulley 4 and the second fixed pulley 5, the movement of the steel cable 7 drives the second fixing block 16 and the lifting frame 15 to move up or down. Under the limit of the second slide rail 13 and the second slider 14, the vertical movement of the lifting frame 15 can be guaranteed. The movement of the lifting frame 15 can cause the protective door body 6 to fold or unfold, completing the rapid sealing or opening of the knife magazine. This opening and closing method avoids jamming or jamming due to debris and other impurities, and at the same time facilitates maintenance by the staff and extends the service life of the drive mechanism.
[0027] Of course, there may be other implementations of this utility model. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
