However, in practical applications, the electric telescopic rod has problems with insufficient accuracy and limited load capacity. Currently, milling machine lifting still mainly uses lead screw drive, which easily generates a lot of heat. If heat is not dissipated in time, it will cause the lead screw lubricating oil to fail and accelerate wear. Therefore, this application proposes a CNC gantry milling machine with a lifting bracket to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a CNC gantry milling machine with a lifting bracket to solve the problems mentioned in the background art above:

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable block is threaded on the lead screw, and lubrication between the lead screw and the movable block is used to reduce wear. The cooling pipe passes through the movable block to circulate the liquid in the cooling box, so that the heat on the movable block can be easily dissipated in time, and the lubrication effect between the lead screw and the movable block is not affected by high temperature.

[0009] The movable block is equipped with movable rollers on both sides, which roll and connect with the inner wall of the lifting groove, thus reducing wear between the movable block and the inner wall of the lifting groove.

[0012] Preferably, the movable block is threadedly connected to the lead screw, and roller grooves are provided on both sides of the movable block. Several support rods are fixedly connected in the roller grooves, and movable rollers are rotatably connected to the support rods.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate provides support for the fan.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1) This CNC gantry milling machine uses cooling boxes and cooling pipes on both sides of the crossbeam. The cooling pipes pass through the moving block, and the water pump circulates the coolant in the cooling box to cool the moving block. This allows the moving block to dissipate heat in a timely manner, avoids high temperature from reducing the effectiveness of the lubricating oil on the lead screw, and maintains good lubrication between the lead screw and the moving block, thus reducing wear.

[0022] 2) In this CNC gantry milling machine, the movable block moves within the lifting groove via movable rollers.

[0029] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 4A CNC gantry milling machine with a lifting bracket includes a bed 1, columns 2 fixedly connected to both sides of the bed 1, a spindle box 4 fixedly connected to the upper end of the columns 2, a crossbeam 3 movably mounted at the front of the columns 2, a movable spindle 6 movably mounted on the crossbeam 3, a lifting groove 5 opened on the columns 2, a lead screw 7 movably mounted in the lifting groove 5, the lead screw 7 being rotatably connected in the lifting groove 5, a movable block 10 fixedly connected to the back of the columns 2, the movable block 10 being located in the lifting groove 5, movable rollers 13 movably mounted on both sides of the movable block 10, the movable rollers 13 being in rolling contact with the inner wall of the lifting groove 5, thereby reducing wear between the movable block 10 and the lifting groove 5 and preventing the movable block 10 from overheating.

[0030] The lead screw 7 is movably mounted in the lifting groove 5 via the bearing 8. The upper end of the lead screw 7 extends upward into the spindle box 4. A stepper motor 9 is fixedly connected inside the spindle box 4. The output shaft of the stepper motor 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lead screw 7, so that the stepper motor 9 can easily drive the lead screw 7 to rotate.

[0031] The movable block 10 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 7. The movable block 10 has a screw hole corresponding to the position of the lead screw 7. Roller grooves 11 are opened on both sides of the movable block 10. Several support rods 12 are fixedly connected in the roller grooves 11. Movable rollers 13 are rotatably connected to the support rods 12.

[0032] The steps of using this utility model are as follows: Stepper motors 9 are started simultaneously, causing lead screws 7 to rotate at the same speed and in the same direction, driving movable blocks 10 to move up and down. Movable blocks 10 drive crossbeams 3 to move up and down, thereby raising and lowering the movable main shaft 6 on the crossbeams 3. Movable blocks 10 are threadedly connected to lead screws 7. Movable rollers 13 on both sides of movable blocks 10 are rolled on the inner wall of the lifting groove 5 to prevent sliding between movable blocks 10 and the inner wall of the lifting groove 5, thus increasing the temperature of movable blocks 10 and reducing wear between movable blocks 10 and the lifting groove 5.

[0033] Example 2, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The difference from embodiment 1 is that a cooling box 14 is fixedly connected to both sides of the crossbeam 3. Coolant is placed inside the cooling box 14 and is located below the air inlet 17 and the air outlet 18. A water pump 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling box 14 and a cooling pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the water pump 22. The cooling pipe 23 passes through the movable block 10 to dissipate heat from the movable block 10. A V-shaped water inlet 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the cooling box 14 and an air inlet 17 is opened at the front of the cooling box 14. A fan 21 is fixedly connected to the cooling box 14 in front of the air inlet 17. The fan 21 blows the dripping water droplets to facilitate the dissipation of heat from the coolant.

[0034] The upper end of the cooling pipe 23 points to the V-shaped water inlet 15. Several drip holes 16 are provided on the V-shaped water inlet 15 to facilitate the coolant to drip down through the drip holes 16. The outlet of the water pump 22 is connected to the cooling pipe 23. The inlet of the water pump 22 is fixedly connected to the cooling tank 14 through the water pumping pipe 24 to facilitate the extraction of coolant from the cooling tank 14 and the introduction of coolant into the cooling pipe 23, which then flows back to the cooling tank 14 through the V-shaped water inlet 15.

[0035] An air outlet 18 is provided at the rear of the cooling box 14. A baffle plate 19 is fixedly connected inside the cooling box 14. The baffle plate 19 is located in front of the air outlet 18 to prevent the wind from blowing water droplets onto the baffle plate 19, causing the water droplets to enter the air outlet 18 and resulting in waste.

[0036] A mounting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the cooling box 14, and a fan 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 20.

[0037] The steps of using this utility model are as follows: Start the water pump 22 to extract coolant from the cooling tank 14 and guide it into the cooling pipe 23. The cooling pipe 23 passes through the movable block 10, thereby removing heat from the movable block 10. The upper end of the cooling pipe 23 guides the coolant into the V-shaped inlet 15, which has several drip holes 16 to allow the coolant to drip downwards. Start the fan 21, which blows the dripping water droplets through the air inlet 17. The water droplets are more easily dispersed by the fan 21, thus lowering the temperature of the recovered coolant. The water droplets are blown by the wind onto the baffle plate 19 and then flow downwards, causing them to fall back to the lower part of the cooling tank 14, facilitating the circulation of coolant by the water pump 22. This better cools the movable block 10. Lubricating oil is provided between the screw hole on the movable block 10 and the lead screw 7. By cooling the movable block 10, the high temperature is prevented from affecting the lubricating oil's effectiveness, reducing wear.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
