Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a graphite engraving and milling machine, belonging to the field of CNC machine tool technology. Background Technology
[0002] Graphite engraving and milling machines are high-precision CNC machining equipment specifically designed for graphite materials. They achieve fine engraving and milling of graphite through high-speed rotating cutters and a precise control system. Their main features include high precision, high efficiency, and versatility, making them suitable for processing complex shapes and small parts. The basic applications of graphite engraving and milling machines cover multiple fields, such as the electronics industry (processing electrodes, conductive plates, etc.), the optics industry (processing optical molds and components), mold manufacturing (improving mold precision and quality), and the aerospace and new energy industries (manufacturing high-precision components). In addition, they are widely used in artistic creation, craft making, and precision engraving. However, there are risks associated with technological obsolescence: with the continuous emergence of new materials and technologies, the technical requirements for processing equipment in fields such as consumer electronics are changing rapidly, potentially leading to the obsolescence of existing equipment. Companies need to continuously invest in research and development to maintain competitiveness. Equipment maintenance and dust control are also crucial: graphite engraving and milling machines generate a large amount of dust during processing. Improper handling can damage the equipment and operators, requiring enhanced protective measures. With its high precision and multi-field adaptability, the graphite engraving and milling machine has become a core piece of equipment in high-end manufacturing. From a technological perspective, five-axis linkage and intelligentization are the focus of competition; from a market perspective, the continued demand for new energy and semiconductors is driving growth. In the future, the industry needs to overcome bottlenecks in tool life and dust disposal, and iterate towards ultra-precision and green technologies to consolidate its key position in the global industrial chain. Therefore, this design primarily addresses the issues of equipment maintenance and dust disposal. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a graphite engraving and milling machine that reduces dust entering the guide rail and lead screw, extends the service life of the mechanism, facilitates the discharge of debris and dust, and reduces the cost of use.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a graphite engraving and milling machine, including a base; a worktable is provided on the base, and a mounting platform is provided on the base; the surface of the mounting platform is higher than the base; an X-axis linear module is provided on the mounting platform; the X-axis linear module is connected to an X-axis slide plate; a Y-axis linear module is provided on the X-axis slide plate; the Y-axis linear module is connected to a Y-axis headstock; a Z-axis linear module is provided at the front end of the Y-axis headstock; the Z-axis linear module is connected to a machine head for mounting a spindle unit; a chip collection groove is provided on the surface of the base; and a chip removal channel is provided inside the base.
[0005] Furthermore, the surface of the base is recessed to form the debris collection groove; the debris collection groove is funnel-shaped; the debris collection groove is formed by multiple inclined surfaces; the base is made of high-density cast iron; and a trapezoidal platform is provided at the bottom of the workbench.
[0006] Furthermore, the two sides of the trapezoidal platform are fixedly attached to the inclined surface of the debris collection trough; the other two sides of the trapezoidal platform are provided with debris inlets; the bottom of the debris collection trough is provided with an opening relative to the debris discharge channel; the debris inlets are connected to the openings; the front and rear sides of the base are provided with debris outlets relative to the debris discharge channel.
[0007] Furthermore, the X-axis linear module includes an X-axis lead screw assembly and an X-axis guide rail slider assembly; the X-axis slide plate is connected to the X-axis guide rail slider assembly; the X-axis guide rail slider assembly includes dual guide rails.
[0008] Furthermore, the Y-axis linear module includes a Y-axis lead screw assembly and a Y-axis guide rail slider assembly; the Y-axis lead screw assembly and the Y-axis guide rail slider assembly are disposed on the X-axis slide surface and are connected to the Y-axis headstock.
[0009] Furthermore, the Z-axis linear module includes a Z-axis lead screw assembly and a Z-axis guide rail slider assembly disposed at the front end of the Y-axis headstock; the machine head is connected to the Z-axis guide rail slider assembly.
[0010] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: First, the X-axis linear module and the X-axis slide are set on the mounting platform. The horizontal position of the mounting platform is higher than the base and its chip collection groove (processing area). This design can reduce the probability of chips or dust entering the X-axis linear module during processing, increase the service life of the linear module, and thus reduce the machine tool operating cost.
[0011] Meanwhile, during reprocessing, debris or dust will travel along the inclined surface of the debris collection trough, passing through the debris inlet and opening before entering the chip removal channel. The debris or dust will then be transferred outwards through the debris outlets at both ends of the channel. The advantage of this design is that the debris collection trough and chip removal channel are enclosed, preventing debris or dust from spreading outwards once inside, further reducing pollution. Furthermore, the trapezoidal platform at the bottom of the workbench is integrated with the debris collection trough (base), providing excellent support and improving overall rigidity and stability.
