Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of parts machining technology, and in particular to a vertical lathe for machining wind turbine castings. Background Technology

[0002] A vertical lathe is a special type of machine tool, characterized by its spindle axis being perpendicular to the horizontal plane, while the workpiece is mounted on a horizontal rotary table. This design makes vertical lathes particularly suitable for machining large and heavy workpieces with large diameters and short lengths.

[0003] However, in some industries, the workpieces are quite large, such as wind power castings. Traditional vertical lathes have a limited machining height range, making it difficult to machine such large workpieces, which is a significant drawback. Utility Model Content

[0004] To accommodate the machining of large-sized workpieces, this application provides a vertical lathe for machining wind turbine castings.

[0005] The vertical lathe for machining wind turbine castings provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A vertical lathe for processing wind turbine castings includes a machine tool body, a pad is provided between the machine tool body and the ground, and a limiting component is arranged on the pad for limiting the movement of the machine tool body.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the pads raise the height of the machine tool body, so that the machine tool body can be used to process taller and larger workpieces.

[0008] Optionally, the pad is made of steel.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solutions, steel has greater strength and hardness, thus providing strong and stable support for the machine tool body.

[0010] Optionally, the limiting component includes a plurality of limiting plates arranged circumferentially on the pad, each limiting plate being threadedly connected with a limiting bolt for abutting against the machine tool body.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, after the machine tool body is mounted on the pad, the worker tightens each limit bolt, so that the limit bolts abut against the machine tool body, thereby reducing the possibility of the machine tool body moving relative to the pad during the processing.

[0012] Optionally, the limiting member includes a ring-shaped limiting ring, which circumferentially surrounds the junction between the machine tool body and the pad block.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the circumferential enclosure effect of the limiting ring realizes the relative limiting between the machine tool body and the pad block.

[0014] Optionally, the limiting ring includes two end rods, and three edge-binding rods are arranged between the two end rods. The end rods are hinged to the edge-binding rods and to two adjacent edge-binding rods, and the two end rods are bolted together.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting ring can be circumferentially enclosed at the junction after the machine tool body is mounted on the pad, without the need to be pre-fitted onto the machine tool body or pad, thus improving the ease of operation.

[0016] Optionally, the pad block is circumferentially arranged with multiple support rods, and two end rods and three edge rods are all mounted on the support rods.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple support rods work together to support the limit ring, ensuring that the limit ring is located at the junction of the machine tool body and the pad block.

[0018] Optionally, the pad has multiple insertion holes, with each support rod corresponding to one insertion hole and engaging with it.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the ease of processing the pad block is improved.

[0020] Optionally, the support rod is provided with a magnetic head that is magnetically attracted to the bottom of the insertion hole.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the possibility of the support pole accidentally detaching from the insertion hole is reduced.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The pads raise the height of the machine tool body, allowing it to be used to process taller and larger workpieces;

[0024] 2. After the machine tool body is mounted on the pad, the worker tightens each limit bolt, so that the limit bolts are pressed against the machine tool body, thereby reducing the possibility of the machine tool body moving relative to the pad during the processing.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a vertical lathe for machining wind turbine castings.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The vertical lathe used for processing wind power castings includes a machine tool body 1, a pad 2 made of steel between the machine tool body 1 and the ground, and limiters for limiting the machine tool body 1 arranged on the pad 2.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The limiting component includes multiple limiting plates 3 circumferentially welded to the pad 2, and each limiting plate 3 is threaded with a limiting bolt 4 for pressing against the machine tool body 1.

[0033] After the machine tool body 1 is mounted on the pad 2, the workers tighten each limiting bolt 4 in sequence, so that the limiting bolt 4 abuts against the side wall of the machine tool body 1, thereby reducing the possibility of the machine tool body 1 moving relative to the pad 2 during the processing.

[0034] The implementation principle of Example 1 is as follows: the pad block 2 raises the height of the machine tool body 1, so that the machine tool body 1 can be used to process taller and larger workpieces.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Reference Figure 2 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the limiting component includes a square ring-shaped limiting ring, which includes two end rods 6 bolted together. Three edge rods 7 are arranged between the two end rods 6. The end rods 6 and the edge rods 7, as well as the two adjacent edge rods 7, are hinged. The two end rods 6 and the three edge rods 7 surround the junction of the machine tool body 1 and the pad block 2.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 The pad 2 has multiple insertion holes 21, and each insertion hole 21 is fitted with a horizontal support rod 8. The support rod 8 extends outside the pad 2, and the limiting ring is mounted on the multiple support rods 8.

[0038] Multiple support rods 8 work together to support the height of the limiting ring. Since the limiting ring is located at the junction of the machine tool body 1 and the pad 2 and is in close contact with each other, the possibility of the machine tool body 1 moving relative to the pad 2 can be reduced.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 A magnetic head 9 is attached to the support rod 8, which is magnetically attracted to the bottom of the insertion hole 21, thereby reducing the possibility that the support rod 8 may accidentally detach from the insertion hole 21.

[0040] The implementation principle of Example 2 is as follows: multiple support rods 8 cooperate to support the height of the limiting ring. Since the limiting ring is located at the junction of the machine tool body 1 and the pad 2 and is in close contact with each other, the possibility of the machine tool body 1 moving relative to the pad 2 can be reduced.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
