Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of machine tool magazine equipment, and in particular to a machine tool magazine protection device. Background Technology
[0002] A tool magazine is a device used to store and manage cutting tools in CNC machine tools (such as milling machines and lathes). The main function of a tool magazine is to automatically change tools, thereby improving machining efficiency and flexibility. In modern manufacturing, tool magazines have become an important component of CNC machine tools and are crucial for achieving efficient and precise machining.
[0003] Traditional machine tool tool magazines have exposed cutting tools, making them easily exposed to flying metal shavings generated during machining. These shavings accumulate on the tools, contaminating them and potentially causing more errors during machining. This can affect the surface quality and accuracy of the workpiece, leading to defective products and increased production costs. Therefore, a machine tool tool magazine protection device needs to be designed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a machine tool magazine protection device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A machine tool tool magazine protection device includes a lower protective shell, an upper protective shell fixedly connected to the top of the lower protective shell, a machine tool tool magazine disposed between the lower and upper protective shells, and both the lower and upper protective shells fixedly connected to the tool magazine. A top protective plate is fixedly connected to the top of the upper protective shell, and the top protective plate has several sliding grooves. A movable protective plate is disposed within each of the sliding grooves and is slidably connected to the top protective plate. An I-shaped wheel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable protective plate, and a roller is fitted onto the I-shaped wheel. The roller is slidably connected to the I-shaped wheel. An arc-shaped slide rail and a guide slide rail are provided on the outer side of the upper protective shell, and the roller is disposed within the guide slide rail. By employing the technical means of protecting the tool using the lower protective shell, upper protective shell, top protective plate, and movable protective plate, the tool can be kept in a relatively enclosed environment, preventing the tool from contacting the surface. Metal chips generated during machining can be moved from the top of the tool by rotating the machine tool magazine to move the roller into the guide rail and continuing to move. This allows for tool loading and unloading. When the roller moves from the guide rail to the arc-shaped rail, the movable protective plate returns to its initial position. This effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background technology that traditional machine tool magazines have tools that are exposed to the outside, making them easily come into contact with metal chips generated during machining. The accumulation of metal chips on the tools can contaminate them, potentially causing more errors during machining, affecting the surface quality and accuracy of the workpiece, and possibly leading to defective products and increased production costs. This solution simplifies operation, facilitates tool loading and unloading, avoids direct contact with metal chips, reduces the risk of tool contamination, keeps the tools clean, and thus ensures the cutting performance of the tools.
[0007] Preferably, the inner walls of both the lower and upper protective shells are fixedly connected with several partitions, which are arranged close to the machine tool magazine. A storage compartment is formed between two adjacent partitions, and the tools on the machine tool magazine are placed in the storage compartment.
[0008] Preferably, the arc-shaped slide rail is composed of a first arc-shaped plate and a second arc-shaped plate, and the guide slide rail is composed of a first guide plate and a second guide plate, wherein the first arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the first guide plate, and the second arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the second guide plate.
[0009] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper protective shell, and a second guide plate and a second arc-shaped plate are fixedly connected to the top of the support plate. The first arc-shaped plate and the first guide plate are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper protective shell.
[0010] Preferably, a slider is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the lower protective shell, and the slider is fitted with a slide rail, and the slider is slidably connected to the slide rail.
[0011] Preferably, a base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide rail.
[0012] Preferably, a frame is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the base, a servo motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the machine tool magazine.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] By employing a lower protective shell, upper protective shell, top protective plate, and movable protective plate to protect the cutting tool, the tool is placed in a relatively enclosed environment, preventing it from contacting metal chips generated during machining. Rotating the machine tool magazine moves the rollers into the guide rail, and continuing to move them removes the movable protective plate from the top of the tool, facilitating tool loading and unloading. When the rollers move from the guide rail to the curved rail, the movable protective plate returns to its initial position. This effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background technology, where traditional machine tool magazines expose the cutting tools, making them easily exposed to flying metal chips during machining. The accumulation of metal chips on the tools leads to contamination, potentially causing more errors during machining, affecting the surface quality and accuracy of the workpiece, and possibly resulting in defective products and increased production costs. This solution achieves simple operation, easy tool loading and unloading, avoids direct contact with metal chips, reduces the risk of tool contamination, maintains tool cleanliness, and thus ensures the cutting performance of the cutting tool.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-7A machine tool tool magazine protection device includes a lower protective shell 1, an upper protective shell 2 fixedly connected to the top of the lower protective shell 1, a machine tool tool magazine 4 disposed between the lower protective shell 1 and the upper protective shell 2, both the lower protective shell 1 and the upper protective shell 2 being fixedly connected to the machine tool tool magazine 4, a top protective plate 3 fixedly connected to the top of the upper protective shell 2, a plurality of sliding grooves 5 formed on the top protective plate 3, movable protective plates 6 disposed within the sliding grooves 5, the movable protective plates 6 being slidably connected to the top protective plate 3, an I-shaped wheel 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable protective plate 6, a roller 8 fitted on the I-shaped wheel 7, the roller 8 being slidably connected to the I-shaped wheel 7, an arc-shaped slide rail 9 and a guide slide rail 10 disposed on the outer side of the upper protective shell 2, the roller 8 being disposed within the guide slide rail 10, when one of the rollers 8 is at the junction of the arc-shaped slide rail 9 and the guide slide rail 10, all the protective plates 6 are on top of the tool, so that the tool is in a closed environment. Because the lower protective shell, upper protective shell, top protective plate and movable protective plate are used to protect the tool... This technical approach allows the cutting tool to be placed in a relatively enclosed environment, preventing it from contacting metal chips generated during machining. By rotating the machine tool magazine and moving the rollers into the guide rail, the movable protective plate can be removed from the top of the tool, facilitating tool loading and unloading. When the rollers move from the guide rail to the curved rail, the movable protective plate returns to its initial position. This effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background technology that traditional machine tool magazines expose the cutting tools, making them easily exposed to flying metal chips generated during machining. The accumulation of metal chips on the tools can contaminate them, potentially causing more errors during machining, affecting the surface quality and accuracy of the workpiece, and possibly leading to defective products and increased production costs. This approach simplifies operation, facilitates tool loading and unloading, avoids direct contact with metal chips, reduces the risk of tool contamination, maintains tool cleanliness, and thus ensures the cutting performance of the tool.
[0025] In this utility model, the inner walls of the lower protective shell 1 and the upper protective shell 2 are fixedly connected with several partitions 201. The partitions 201 are set close to the machine tool magazine 4. A storage compartment 202 is formed between two adjacent partitions 201. The tools on the machine tool magazine 4 are placed in the storage compartment 202. The partitions 201 separate the various tools on the machine tool magazine 4.
[0026] In this utility model, the arc-shaped slide rail 9 is composed of a first arc-shaped plate 901 and a second arc-shaped plate 902, and the guide slide rail 10 is composed of a first guide plate 1001 and a second guide plate 1002. The first arc-shaped plate 901 is fixedly connected to the first guide plate 1001, and the second arc-shaped plate 902 is fixedly connected to the second guide plate 1002. A sliding groove is formed between the first arc-shaped plate 901 and the second arc-shaped plate 902, and a sliding groove is formed between the first guide plate 1001 and the second guide plate 1002. The roller 8 moves within the sliding groove in the first arc-shaped plate 901 and the second arc-shaped plate 902, and within the sliding groove between the first guide plate 1001 and the second guide plate 1002.
[0027] In this utility model, a support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper protective shell 2, and a second guide plate 1002 and a second arc plate 902 are fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 11. The first arc plate 901 and the first guide plate 1001 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper protective shell 2.
[0028] In this utility model, a slider 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the lower protective shell 1. The slider 12 is fitted with a slide rail 13. The slider 12 is slidably connected to the slide rail 13. When the lower protective shell 1 rotates, it will drive the slider 12 to rotate along the slide rail 13, ensuring the stability of the upper protective shell 2 when it rotates.
[0029] In this utility model, the bottom of the slide rail 13 is fixedly connected to the base 14.
[0030] In this utility model, a frame 15 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the base 14, a servo motor 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 15, and the output end of the servo motor 16 is fixedly connected to the machine tool magazine 4.
[0031] Working Principle: When in use, an external power supply is used. When tool replacement is required, the servo motor 16 is started. The output of the servo motor 16 drives the machine tool magazine 4 to rotate. The machine tool magazine 4 adjusts the tool position. The rotation of the machine tool magazine 4 drives the upper protective shell 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the lower protective shell 1 to rotate. The lower protective shell 1 then moves the slider 12 along the slide rail 13, ensuring stability during the rotation of the lower protective shell 1, upper protective shell 2, and machine tool magazine 4. The rotation of the upper protective shell 2 drives the top protective plate 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the movable protective plate 6 to move. The movable protective plate 6 then drives the I-shaped wheel 7 to move, which in turn drives the roller 8 to move. The roller 8 moves along the guide slide rail 9 and the guide slide rail 10. As the roller 8 moves from the curved slide rail 9 into the guide slide rail 10 and continues to move, the roller 8 gradually moves away from the top protective plate 3. The roller 8 will move the I-shaped wheel 7 away from the top protective plate 3, and the I-shaped wheel 7 will move the movable protective plate 6 within the slide groove 5, removing the movable protective plate 6 from the top of the tool. When the roller 8 moves to the bend of the guide slide rail 10, the movable protective plate 6 is completely removed from the top of the tool, and the servo motor 16 stops, allowing the tool to be picked up and replaced. After the tool is picked up and replaced, the output end of the servo motor 16 continues to rotate, moving the roller 8 to the end of the arc slide rail 9 near the guide slide rail 10, which will move the movable protective plate 6 back to its initial position. When the roller 8 moves within the guide slide rail 10 towards the arc slide rail 9, it will move closer to the top protective plate 3, allowing the movable protective plate 6 to move along the slide groove 5 back to its initial position, thus keeping the storage compartment 202 in a closed environment and preventing metal chips from flying during processing from damaging the tool.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
