Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gantry milling machine technology, and in particular to a gantry milling machine with a cleaning mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A gantry milling machine is a machine tool that uses a computer control system to cut workpieces by rotating a cutting tool. It is mainly used to process large and heavy workpieces. It has a gantry structure, consisting of two columns, a crossbeam, and a top beam, which provides rigidity and stability. It is suitable for milling horizontal, vertical, or inclined grooves on various medium and large ferrous or non-ferrous metal parts, milling boring heads, and can also perform boring and drilling operations.
[0003] In existing gantry milling machine technology, fixed nozzles are often used. These nozzles are installed in fixed positions on the milling machine and cannot be moved. This design leads to a limitation in the cleaning range, because fixed nozzles can only clean the area within their direct spray range. It is difficult to achieve effective cleaning for some corners or more distant parts of the milling machine. Since the nozzles are fixed and cannot be moved back and forth, the cleaning process usually requires manual intervention. The operator needs to manually move the milling machine or cleaning device to achieve a thorough cleaning. This not only increases the operator's labor intensity but also prolongs the cleaning time and affects the cleaning efficiency. To a certain extent, it limits the overall cleaning capacity and efficiency of gantry milling machines and cannot meet the high standards of equipment cleaning and maintenance required by modern production. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a gantry milling machine with a cleaning mechanism, which aims to improve the problem that gantry milling machines with cleaning mechanisms in the prior art cannot drive the nozzle to move.

[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a gantry milling machine with a cleaning mechanism, comprising a milling machine body 1, a fixed frame 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the milling machine body 1, a motor 3 fixedly connected to the upper part of the fixed frame 2, a gear 4 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 3, a rack plate 5 meshing with the rear part of the gear 4, connecting rods 6 fixedly connected to both sides of the right side of the rack plate 5, sliders 7 fixedly connected to the upper part of both connecting rods 6, positioning blocks 8 fixedly connected to the opposite sides of both sliders 7, and spraying components fixedly connected inside both positioning blocks 8. The spraying components are used to clean the upper part of the milling machine body 1, and the outer two sides of the milling machine body 1... Each side is fixedly connected to a vertical plate 9, and each of the multiple vertical plates 9 is fixedly connected to a slide rod 10 on the opposite side. Two sliders 7 are slidably connected to the outside of the slide rod 10. A rack plate 5 is slidably connected to the inside of the milling machine body 1. The spraying assembly includes a fixed pipe 14 and a nozzle 15. The fixed pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of two positioning blocks 8. Two nozzles 15 are fixedly connected to both ends of the fixed pipe 14. A water pump 12 is fixedly connected to the inside of the milling machine body 1. The input end of the water pump 12 is fixedly connected to the right side of the water storage tank 11. The output end of the water pump 12 is fixedly connected to one end of a delivery hose 13. The other end of the delivery hose 13 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed pipe 14.
[0025] A suitable amount of water and cleaning solution is injected into the water storage tank 11, which is a container for storing water and cleaning solution to provide the necessary liquid for the cleaning process. Then, the water pump 12 is started, which draws the mixed liquid from the water storage tank 11 and delivers it to the fixed pipe 14 through the delivery hose 13. The two nozzles 15 spray the cleaning solution evenly on the upper part of the milling machine body 1. At the same time, the motor 3 is started, and its output end drives the gear 4 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 4 causes the rack plate 5 that meshes with it to move. As the rack plate 5 moves, the connecting rod 6 and the slider 7 are also driven to slide along the outside of the slide rod 10. The slide rod 10 provides a sliding track for the slider 7 to ensure its smooth movement. The synchronous movement of the two sliders 7 drives the two positioning blocks 8 to move, so that the fixed pipe 14 and the nozzles 15 move accordingly. The nozzles 15 spray the cleaning solution, which acts directly on the milling machine body 1 to achieve the cleaning function.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The milling machine body 1 has a water tank 11 fixedly connected inside, a filter plate 17 slidably connected inside the water tank 11, fixed boxes 19 fixedly connected to both sides of the front of the water tank 11, fixed blocks 18 fixedly connected to both sides of the front of the filter plate 17, insert plates 20 slidably connected inside the two fixed boxes 19, pull plates 21 fixedly connected to the front of the two insert plates 20, and the two fixed boxes 19 slidably connected inside the two fixed blocks 18. One end of the liquid outlet pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the milling machine body 1, and the other end of the liquid outlet pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the right side of the water tank 11. One end of the return spring 22 is fixedly connected to the inside of the two fixed boxes 19, and the other end of the two return springs 22 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the pull plate 21. A support frame 23 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the milling machine body 1, a cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the left side of the support frame 23, and a milling mechanism 25 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 24.
[0027] After starting cylinder 24, its output end drives milling mechanism 25 to move, allowing it to move precisely on the upper part of milling machine body 1 for fine machining of the workpiece. The cleaning wastewater and residual cleaning fluid on the upper part of milling machine body 1 are collected through outlet pipe 16 and transported back to water storage tank 11 for recycling. Water storage tank 11 collects and stores the cleaning wastewater, preparing it for filtration and reuse. During this process, water and cleaning fluid flow to filter plate 17. The function of filter plate 17 is to filter the liquid, removing impurities and dirt to ensure the cleanliness of the cleaning fluid, thus facilitating its reuse. When filter plate 17 completes the filtration process... After the filtration task is completed, the operator can pull up the two pull plates 21. During the movement, the pull plates 21 slide inside the fixing box 19 and compress the return spring 22. The return spring 22 provides elastic force, which allows the pull plates 21 and the insert plate 20 to return to their original positions after the operation, ensuring the filter plate 17 is firmly fixed. The elastic force of the return spring 22 allows the pull plates 21 to drive the insert plate 20 to slide inside the fixing box 19. This action will cause the insert plate 20 to exit from the inside of the fixing block 18, thereby releasing the fixation of the filter plate 17. After that, the operator can easily pull the two fixing blocks 18 forward, so that the filter plate 17 can be easily removed.
[0028] Working principle: The cylinder 24 is started, and its output pushes the milling mechanism 25 to move on the upper part of the milling machine body 1. Under the action of the milling mechanism 25, the workpiece is processed. After the milling machine is used, water and cleaning fluid are added to the water tank 11. The water pump 12 is started, and water is pumped from the water tank 11 and delivered to the fixed pipe 14 through the delivery hose 13. The water is then sprayed onto the upper part of the milling machine body 1 through two nozzles 15. Simultaneously, the motor 3 is started, and its output drives the gear 4 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 4 drives the meshing rack plate 5 to move. When the rack plate 5 moves, it drives the connecting rod 6 and the slider 7 to move. When the slider 7 moves, it slides outside the slide rod 10. The movement of the two sliders 7 drives the two positioning blocks 8 to move. When the positioning blocks 8 move, they drive the fixed pipe 14 and the nozzles 15 to move accordingly, thus allowing the two nozzles 15 to move back and forth on the upper part of the milling machine body 1, facilitating the movement of the nozzles. The position of the filter plate 15 can be adjusted to cover a larger area of the milling machine, ensuring that the entire working area can be effectively cleaned and improving cleaning efficiency. The water and cleaning fluid on the upper part of the milling machine body 1 are sent back to the interior of the water storage tank 11 through the outlet pipe 16. Under the action of the filter plate 17, the water and cleaning fluid are filtered for easy reuse. After the filter plate 17 completes filtration, the two pull plates 21 are pulled up. When the pull plates 21 move, they slide inside the fixed box 19 and squeeze the return spring 22. Under the action of the return spring 22, the pull plates 21 drive the insert plate 20 to slide inside the fixed box 19, so that the insert plate 20 is moved out from the inside of the fixed block 18, releasing the fixation of the fixed block 18. Then, by pulling the two fixed blocks 18 forward, the filter plate 17 can be taken out, which makes it easy to disassemble the filter plate 17, making it easier to clean and maintain the filter plate 17, preventing the filter plate 17 from being contaminated, and maintaining the cleanliness of the water and cleaning fluid.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
