Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of worktable technology, and in particular to a worktable for a gantry milling machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of machining, gantry milling machines are an important type of machining equipment, widely used in machining large workpieces for planes, grooves, and three-dimensional contours. The worktable of the gantry milling machine is a key component that supports the workpiece.
[0003] In existing gantry milling machines, a large amount of debris is inevitably generated during workpiece machining. If this debris is not cleaned in time, it can easily accumulate on the surface of the worktable. Traditional worktables often rely on manual cleaning, which is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but may also cause scratches on the worktable surface due to improper operation during the cleaning process, affecting the installation accuracy and machining quality of subsequent workpieces. To solve the above problems, this application proposes a gantry milling machine worktable. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a gantry milling machine worktable. The mechanical scraping of the brush is combined with the water flow rinsing composed of a water pump, water tank, and drain hole, which can simultaneously remove debris and impurities from the worktable surface. Mechanical cleaning can effectively remove larger debris, while water rinsing can wash away fine particles and residual impurities. The synergistic effect of the two solves the problem of poor results from a single cleaning method, ensuring the cleanliness of the worktable surface.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A gantry milling machine's worktable includes a movable platform. A gantry milling machine worktable is slidably connected to the outer wall of the movable platform. A U-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the gantry milling machine worktable. An opening is formed through the movable platform, and the U-shaped plate passes through the opening. A guide mechanism is provided between the movable platform and the gantry milling machine worktable. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable platform. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting frame. A reciprocating lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. The reciprocating lead screw passes through the mounting frame and is rotatably connected to it. A movable block is fitted onto the outer wall of the reciprocating lead screw. A hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable block. A hollow plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic rod. A cleaning mechanism is provided on the hollow plate.
[0007] Preferably, the guiding mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged limiting strips fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mobile platform, and two symmetrically arranged limiting grooves are provided on the gantry milling worktable, with the two limiting strips slidably connected to their corresponding limiting grooves.
[0008] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a water tank fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame, a water pump fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame, a first connecting pipe fixedly connected to the water inlet of the water pump, the first connecting pipe passing through the water tank and fixedly connected thereto, a second connecting pipe fixedly connected to the water outlet of the water pump, the second connecting pipe passing through the mounting frame and fixedly connected thereto, and the end of the second connecting pipe fixedly connected to a hollow plate.
[0009] Preferably, a drive motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mobile platform, and a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The threaded rod passes through the mobile platform and its end is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the opening. The threaded rod passes through the U-shaped plate and is threadedly connected to it.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to two guide rods, both of which pass through the movable block and are slidably connected to it.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the hollow plate is provided with a plurality of brushes, and the bottom of the hollow plate is provided with a plurality of drainage holes.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. Through the cooperation of the drive motor, threaded rod and U-shaped plate, the worktable can be automatically moved to the cleaning area without manual adjustment; at the same time, the linkage of the servo motor, reciprocating screw and hydraulic rod can drive the brush and hollow plate to achieve automatic reciprocating cleaning action, which greatly reduces manual intervention, shortens cleaning time and improves production efficiency.
[0014] 2. The mechanical scraping of the brush combined with the water flow rinsing composed of the water pump, water tank and drain hole can remove debris and impurities from the workbench surface at the same time; mechanical cleaning can effectively remove larger debris, and water rinsing can wash away fine particles and residual impurities. The synergistic effect of the two solves the problem of poor effect of single cleaning methods and ensures the cleanliness of the workbench surface.
[0015] 3. The cooperation between the limit bar and the limit groove provides precise guidance and limit for the movement of the worktable, preventing it from deviating during sliding; the guide rod constrains the movement of the moving block to ensure that the brush runs smoothly during the cleaning process, preventing the cleaning area from being missed or the equipment from colliding due to shaking, thus improving the reliability of the cleaning operation and the service life of the equipment.
[0016] In summary, the combination of mechanical scraping with a brush and water rinsing via a pump, tank, and drain can simultaneously remove debris and impurities from the workbench surface. Mechanical cleaning effectively removes larger debris, while water rinsing removes fine particles and residual impurities. The synergistic effect of both methods solves the problem of ineffective single cleaning methods and ensures the cleanliness of the workbench surface. Attached Figure Description

The gantry milling worktable 2 is used to carry workpieces and can slide on the movable platform 1. A U-shaped plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the gantry milling worktable 2. An opening is provided through the movable platform 1, and the U-shaped plate 3 passes through the opening. A guide mechanism is provided between the movable platform 1 and the gantry milling worktable 2. The guide mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged limiting strips 6 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable platform 1. Two symmetrically arranged limiting strips 6 are provided on the gantry milling worktable 2. The limiting groove 7 and the two limiting strips 6 are slidably connected to their corresponding limiting grooves 7. The limiting strips 6 and the limiting grooves 7 cooperate to guide the sliding of the gantry milling table 2, ensuring that it moves in a fixed direction. The side wall of the moving platform 1 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 5. The output end of the drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 4. The threaded rod 4 passes through the moving platform 1 and its end is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the through-hole. The threaded rod 4 passes through the U-shaped plate 3 and is threadedly connected to it. The drive motor 5 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate and drives the U-shaped plate 3 and the gantry milling table 2 to slide on the moving platform 1 through the threaded connection.
[0023] A mounting frame 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mobile platform 1. A servo motor 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting frame 8. A reciprocating screw 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 9. The reciprocating screw 10 passes through the mounting frame 8 and is rotatably connected to it. A moving block 11 is sleeved on the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 10. Two guide rods 12 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 8. Both guide rods 12 pass through the moving block 11 and are slidably connected to it. The guide rods 12 guide the movement of the moving block 11 to ensure its stability. A hydraulic rod 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving block 11. The hydraulic rod 13 is used to adjust the height of the hollow plate 14. The bottom of the hydraulic rod 13 is fixedly connected to the hollow plate 14. The bottom of the hollow plate 14 is provided with multiple brushes 17. The brushes 17 are used to clean the debris on the surface of the gantry milling table 2. Multiple drainage holes 18 are opened through the bottom of the hollow plate 14. The drainage holes 18 are used to drain the rinsing water.
[0024] The hollow plate 14 is equipped with a cleaning mechanism, which includes a water tank 15 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 8. A water pump 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 8. The water inlet of the water pump 16 is fixedly connected to a first connecting pipe, which passes through the water tank 15 and is fixedly connected to it. The water outlet of the water pump 16 is fixedly connected to a second connecting pipe, which passes through the mounting frame 8 and is fixedly connected to it. The end of the second connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the hollow plate 14. The water pump 16 transports water from the water tank 15 to the hollow plate 14 through the first and second connecting pipes and then discharges it through the drain hole 18, thereby rinsing the surface of the gantry milling table 2.
[0025] In this invention, the workpiece is processed on the gantry milling table 2. After processing, debris remains on the gantry milling table 2. When it is necessary to clean the debris from the surface of the gantry milling table 2, the operator starts the drive motor 5. The output end of the drive motor 5 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate, causing the U-shaped plate 3 and the gantry milling table 2 to slide on the moving platform 1 until the gantry milling table 2 moves directly under the hollow plate 14. At this time, the hydraulic rod 13 is activated to move the hollow plate 14 downward until multiple brushes 17 contact and abut against the surface of the gantry milling table 2. The servo motor 9 and water pump 16 are activated. The output end of the servo motor 9 drives the reciprocating screw 10 to rotate, causing the moving block 11 to slide on the two guide rods 12. The hydraulic rod 13, hollow plate 14, and multiple brushes 17 are moved. The movement of the multiple brushes 17 can clean the surface of the gantry milling table 2, and discharge the debris from both sides of the gantry milling table 2 (the debris remaining on the mounting frame 8 can be manually cleaned). The water pump 16 can inject water from the water tank 15 into the hollow plate 14 through the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe. Finally, the water is discharged through multiple drain holes 18 to rinse the surface of the gantry milling table 2. The combination of rinsing the surface of the gantry milling table 2 and cleaning by the multiple brushes 17 results in a good surface cleaning effect. The surface cleaning of the gantry milling table 2 ensures the stability of the workpiece placed on the gantry milling table 2 and ensures the machining accuracy.
