[0024] One embodiment of this application provides a gantry milling machine 100. The gantry milling machine 100 includes a machine tool body 110 and a milling assembly 120. The milling assembly 120 is disposed in the machine tool body 110 and is used for milling workpieces carried by the machine tool. The milling assembly 120 includes a housing 121, a spindle 122, a transmission gear set 123, a drive gear set 124, a shifting mechanism 125, and a power component 126. The spindle 122 is rotatably disposed within the housing 121, and one end of the spindle 122 extends out of the housing 121 for mounting milling cutters. The transmission gear set 123 includes at least two transmission gears 1231, each transmission gear 1231 being coaxially fixed to the spindle 122, and each transmission gear 1231 having a different gear ratio. The drive gear set 124 includes at least two drive gears 1241, with each drive gear 1241 corresponding to a transmission gear 1231. Each drive gear 1241 is coaxially fixed and configured to slide along the axial direction of the main shaft 122, such that one drive gear 1241 meshes with its corresponding transmission gear 1231. A shifting mechanism 125 drives the drive gear set 124 to slide along the axial direction of the main shaft 122. A power component 126 drives the drive gear set 124 to rotate.

[0025] The milling assembly 120 can perform precise milling on a workpiece placed on the machine tool table through rotary and feed motions. The spindle 122 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 121, with one end extending outside the housing 121 to facilitate the mounting of various milling cutters, thereby enabling milling operations on the workpiece. A transmission gear set 123 is coaxially fixed to the spindle 122. The transmission gear set 123 can be directly coaxially fixed to the spindle 122, or it can be coaxially fixed to the spindle 122 through a synchronous rotation structure. The transmission gear set 123 consists of at least two transmission gears 1231 with different numbers of teeth to ensure that different transmission ratios can be provided to meet different machining requirements. The drive gear 1241 of the drive gear set 124 corresponds one-to-one with the transmission gear 1231. To achieve meshing between the drive gear 1241 and the transmission gear 1231 with different gear ratios, the drive gear 1241 is designed to slide along the axial direction of the main shaft 122. This allows for selective meshing of a specific drive gear 1241 with the corresponding transmission gear 1231 as needed. The shifting mechanism 125 controls the sliding movement of the drive gear set 124 along the axial direction of the main shaft 122 to achieve switching between different gear meshing. The power unit 126 provides rotational power to the drive gear set 124, ensuring efficient and stable operation of the entire milling assembly 120.

[0026] This application allows for switching the drive gear set 124 with different transmission gears 1231 via a shifting mechanism 125, thereby adjusting the speed and torque to meet different processing requirements and improve equipment adaptability. For example, during roughing, low speed and high torque are required to handle large cutting volumes. In this case, the shifting mechanism 125 can be used to switch the drive gear set 124 to mesh with a transmission gear 1231 with a larger transmission ratio, i.e., meshing with a transmission gear 1231 with more teeth. For example, during finishing, high speed and low torque are required to ensure surface finish. In this case, the shifting mechanism 125 can be used to switch the drive gear set 124 to mesh with a transmission gear 1231 with a smaller transmission ratio, i.e., meshing with a transmission gear 1231 with fewer teeth. For example, when machining hard materials, low speed and high torque are required to prevent tool chipping. In this case, the shifting mechanism 125 can be used to switch the drive gear set 124 to mesh with a transmission gear 1231 with a larger transmission ratio, i.e., meshing with a transmission gear 1231 with more teeth.

[0027] By using a shift mechanism 125 to switch gears with different gear ratios to drive milling cutters, the problems of single cutting parameters and poor equipment adaptability in traditional machining can be effectively solved, meeting different machining needs. It eliminates the need to frequently change the power head or cutter due to different process requirements, avoids excessive downtime, and improves the machining efficiency of the gantry milling machine 100.

[0028] Furthermore, by using different drive gears 1241 meshing with corresponding transmission gears 1231 to achieve gear shifting, rather than one drive gear 1241 meshing with different transmission gears 1231, the gear shifting process is smoother, reducing wear between gears and extending the service life of the equipment. This ensures more stable meshing between the drive gear 1241 and the transmission gear 1231, optimizes power transmission efficiency, reduces energy loss, and improves the overall performance of the gantry machine tool 100.

[0029] In some embodiments, the transmission gear set 123 includes a first transmission gear 1232 and a second transmission gear 1233, wherein the number of teeth on the first transmission gear 1232 is greater than the number of teeth on the second transmission gear 1233. The drive gear set 124 includes a first drive gear 1242 and a second drive gear 1243, wherein the number of teeth on the first drive gear 1242 is less than the number of teeth on the second drive gear 1243. The first drive gear 1242 is located on the side of the second drive gear 1243 closest to the first transmission gear 1232; the drive gear set 124 is movable such that the first drive gear 1242 meshes with the first transmission gear 1232, and the drive gear set 124 can also be moved such that the second drive gear 1243 meshes with the second transmission gear 1233.

[0030] When the drive gear set 124 moves to the point where the first drive gear 1242 meshes with the first transmission gear 1232, the number of teeth on the first drive gear 1242 is less than the number of teeth on the first transmission gear 1232, enabling low-speed, high-torque cutting operations. When the drive gear set 124 moves to the point where the second drive gear 1243 meshes with the second transmission gear 1233, the number of teeth on the second drive gear 1243 is greater than the number of teeth on the first transmission gear 1232, enabling high-speed, low-torque cutting operations. By designing the tooth ratio between the drive gear 1241 and the transmission gear 1231, the milling assembly 120 can achieve different transmission ratios, thereby enabling the gantry milling machine 100 to handle various complex machining tasks, improving work efficiency and machining accuracy.

[0031] In some embodiments, the shifting mechanism 125 includes a splined shaft 1251 and a toggle member 1252. The splined shaft 1251 is disposed within the housing 121. The splined shaft 1251 is arranged parallel to the main shaft 122, and a drive gear set 124 is axially slidably disposed on the splined shaft 1251. A power member 126 drives the splined shaft 1251 to rotate. The toggle member 1252 is configured to drive the drive gear set 124 to slide on the splined shaft 1251, and a transmission gear set 123 is rotatably connected to the toggle member 1252.

[0032] By setting the splined shaft 1251, the drive gear set 124 and the splined shaft 1251 are circumferentially limited and axially sliding relative to each other. When the power component 126 drives the splined shaft 1251 to rotate, the drive gear set 124 can rotate synchronously, and the actuating component 1252 can drive the drive gear set 124 to slide on the splined shaft 1251. By driving the drive gear set 124 to slide on the splined shaft 1251 through the actuating component 1252, different transmission gears 1231 can be switched to mesh with the corresponding drive gear 1241. The drive structure is compact, easy to operate, and can quickly respond to changes in processing requirements.

[0033] Furthermore, the actuating element 1252 includes a sliding sleeve 1253 and a shift fork 1254. The sliding sleeve 1253 is configured to slide along the axial direction of the spline shaft 1251 and is fixed coaxially with the drive gear set 124. The shift fork 1254 is forked on the outer periphery of the sliding sleeve 1253, and the sliding sleeve 1253 can rotate relative to the shift fork 1254. The shift fork 1254 can drive the sliding sleeve 1253 to slide on the spline shaft 1251.

[0034] The sliding sleeve 1253 is fixed relative to the drive gear set 124. The shift fork 1254 is forked outside the sliding sleeve 1253. The shift fork 1254 and the sliding sleeve 1253 maintain axial limitation and relative circumferential rotation. Therefore, the shift fork 1254 does not affect the rotation of the sliding sleeve 1253 and the drive gear set 124. The movement of the shift fork 1254 can drive the sliding sleeve 1253 and the drive gear set 124 synchronously, so that the drive gear set 124 can move to mesh with different transmission gears 1231 to realize gear shifting. When gear shifting is required, the axial force can be applied to the sliding sleeve 1253 by moving the drive shift fork 1254, causing the sliding sleeve 1253 to slide on the spline shaft 1251, thereby driving the drive gear set 124 to slide. Since the sliding sleeve 1253 and the drive gear set 124 are coaxially fixed, the drive gear set 124 will slide together with the sliding sleeve 1253. Meanwhile, the shift fork 1254 is positioned on the outer periphery of the sliding sleeve 1253, preventing the shift fork 1254 from disengaging from the sliding sleeve 1253 during rotation, thus ensuring the stability of the shifting process. The simple structure of the shifting element 1252 improves the accuracy and stability of shifting, further enhancing the overall performance of the gantry machine tool 100.

[0035] Furthermore, the actuating element 1252 also includes a piston portion 1255, which extends from the inside of the housing 121 to the outside of the housing 121, for driving the shift fork 1254 to move. The piston portion 1255 can be connected to the shift fork 1254 and is axially movably disposed in the housing 121 along the spline shaft 1251; or the piston portion 1255 can be connected to a hydraulic assembly, and internal pressure changes are achieved by injecting or withdrawing hydraulic oil, thereby driving the shift fork 1254 to move axially along the spline shaft 1251.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, one end of the piston portion 1255 is connected to the shift fork 1254, while the other end extends out of the housing 121. When an external force is applied to the end of the piston portion 1255 extending out of the housing 121, the piston portion 1255 moves within the housing 121, thereby driving the shift fork 1254 to move through the connection. This design makes gear shifting more convenient; the shift fork 1254 can be moved simply by externally operating the piston portion 1255, thereby driving the sliding sleeve 1253 and the drive gear set 124 to slide, completing the gear shifting action. The piston portion 1255 not only improves the flexibility of gear shifting but also helps maintain the smoothness of the gear shifting process, ensuring the normal operation of the gantry milling machine 100.

[0037] In another specific embodiment, the piston 1255 is connected to a hydraulic assembly to form a hydraulic transmission system. This system adjusts the internal pressure of the piston 1255 by controlling the injection or extraction of hydraulic oil, and further transmits this pressure to the shift fork 1254 via a mechanical connection, enabling the shift fork 1254 to move axially along the spline shaft 1251. This hydraulic transmission design improves the accuracy and automation of gear shifting, and also allows for rapid adjustment of the shifting force according to operational needs, enhancing the adaptability and operability of the gantry milling machine 100. Furthermore, the hydraulic transmission system possesses good stability and durability, maintaining the reliability and accuracy of the shifting function during long-term use.

[0038] In some embodiments, a labyrinth sleeve 127 is provided at the rotatable connection between the spindle 122 and the housing 121. The labyrinth sleeve 127 can provide a sealing and protective function for the interior of the housing 121 of the milling assembly 120. On the one hand, the labyrinth sleeve 127 prevents external impurities such as cutting fluid from entering and damaging the internal structure; on the other hand, it can also prevent internal lubricating oil leakage, thereby improving the lubrication between the gear components.

[0039] Specifically, the labyrinth sleeve 127, through its unique structure, such as multiple interlocking annular grooves or toothed structures, forms a series of barriers that prevent cutting fluid and impurities from entering. When the spindle 122 rotates, the cutting fluid and impurities are obstructed within the labyrinth sleeve 127 and forced to flow along complex paths, thereby reducing the possibility of entering the interior of the housing 121 through the connection between the spindle 122 and the housing 121, thus improving the reliability and durability of the gantry machine tool 100.

[0040] In some embodiments, the machine tool body 110 includes a main base 111, a main worktable 112, two columns 113, and a transverse base 114. The main worktable 112 is movably disposed on the main base 111 along a first direction. The two columns 113 are respectively disposed on both sides of the main base 111. The transverse base 114 is disposed on the top of the two columns 113. The transverse worktable 115 is movably disposed on the transverse base 114 along a third direction, and the milling assembly 120 is movably disposed on the transverse worktable 115 along a second direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are all perpendicular to each other.

[0041] Through the cooperation of the main base 111, main worktable 112, two columns 113, and transverse base 114 in the first, second, and third directions, the gantry milling machine 100 can perform precise cutting operations in three-dimensional space. The movable arrangement of the main worktable 112 on the main base 111 allows the workpiece to move and be adjusted in the first direction. The two columns 113 are firmly supported on both sides of the main base 111, providing a stable structural foundation. The transverse base 114 connects to the top of the two columns 113, providing additional support for the milling assembly 120 and ensuring its stable movement in the third direction. The milling assembly 120 is mounted on the transverse worktable 115 and can move with the transverse worktable 115 in the third direction, thus achieving precise cutting in three-dimensional space. The milling assembly 120 can also be fed relative to the transverse worktable 115 in the second direction. This multi-directional movable arrangement not only improves the accuracy and flexibility of the cutting operation but also greatly enhances the machining capacity and applicability of the gantry milling machine 100.

[0042] Furthermore, the main base 111 is provided with two sets of tracks 116 extending along the first direction. At least one set of tracks 116 includes two guide rails 117 extending along the first direction, with the two guide rails 117 spaced apart in the third direction. The two tracks 116 enhance the stability of the main worktable 112 moving in the first direction and also ensure its smoothness and accuracy during movement. One set of tracks 116 includes two guide rails 117 extending along the first direction, with the two guide rails 117 arranged in parallel. By increasing the number of guide rails 117 in each set of tracks 116, the running stability of the main worktable 112 on the main base 111 can be further improved, and in conjunction with the milling assembly 120, the processing efficiency of the gantry milling machine 100 can be further improved.

[0043] Specifically, each set of tracks 116 includes two guide rails 117, and the two sets of tracks 116 are symmetrically distributed. This symmetrical track design further enhances the structural stability and operational balance of the gantry milling machine 100. The symmetrical spacing of the four guide rails 117 in the third direction not only provides sufficient support area and reduces the swaying of the main worktable 112 during movement, but also enables the machine tool to withstand greater cutting forces and loads. Furthermore, the symmetrical track distribution helps to evenly distribute vibrations and stresses during machine operation, extending the machine tool's service life.

[0044] Specifically, a support rib 118 is provided at the bottom of the guide rail 117. The support rib 118 enhances the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the guide rail 117, further ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the main worktable 112's movement on the track 116. The support rib 118 also optimizes the stress structure of the guide rail 117, enabling it to maintain excellent stability and durability even under complex working conditions such as heavy loads or high-speed cutting. At the same time, the support rib 118 also helps improve the overall vibration resistance of the gantry machine tool 100, reducing errors caused by vibration and improving machining accuracy and workpiece quality.
