Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gantry grinding machine technology, and specifically discloses a gantry grinding machine slide structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of modern machining, gantry grinding machines, as high-precision machining equipment, rely heavily on the performance of their slide structure for machining accuracy and equipment stability. Smooth sliding of the slide on the guide rail depends on good lubrication conditions and a rational structural design.
[0003] In existing gantry grinding machine slide structures, lubrication is mostly achieved through manual, periodic application of lubricating oil. This lubrication method has many drawbacks. Manual operation is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but it is also difficult to ensure timely and uniform lubrication. During long-term continuous machining, if lubrication is not timely, the friction between the slide and the guide rail will increase significantly, leading to accelerated wear of components, affecting the motion accuracy of the equipment, and ultimately reducing the machining quality of the workpiece.
[0004] In terms of structural design, traditional slide blocks typically have an integrated slide plate and slide block body, or employ a complex connection method. When the slide plate wears out and needs replacement, the entire slide block often needs to be disassembled for repair. This process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, resulting in long equipment downtime and severely impacting production efficiency. Therefore, a new slide block structure for gantry grinding machines is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention proposes a slide structure for a gantry grinder. The lubrication mechanism avoids the delays and unevenness associated with manual lubrication, ensuring timely and uniform lubrication. The slide is secured via a threaded connection between a threaded rod and a mounting plate. When the slide plate wears out, it can be replaced quickly, making it more convenient to use.
[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a gantry grinding machine slide structure includes a base with a hollow structure in the middle and a slide body, and a lubrication mechanism is provided above the base;
[0007] The lubrication mechanism includes multiple evenly distributed ball grooves extending through the upper end of a base, with balls installed inside each of the ball grooves. A level gauge extending into the base is installed at the upper end of the base. A delivery pipe with a solenoid valve is connected to the left end of the base, and the other end of the delivery pipe is connected to a lubricating oil storage tank. A retainer is provided at the upper end of the base, and multiple limiting grooves adapted to the balls are extended through the lower end of the retainer. A controller electrically connected to the solenoid valve and the level gauge is installed at the left end of the base.
[0008] The cage has a sliding plate inside, and two symmetrically distributed vertical plates are fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding plate. The outer walls of the two vertical plates are provided with internal threaded holes. The left and right ends of the slide body are fixedly connected to mounting plates. The outer walls of the two mounting plates are provided with threaded rods that are threadedly connected to the two internal threaded holes respectively.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the slide structure of the gantry grinding machine according to this utility model, both ends of the retainer are detachably connected to baffles by bolts.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the slide structure of the gantry grinding machine of this utility model, a sealing gasket frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, and a slot adapted to the sealing gasket frame is provided at the lower end of the retainer.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the slide structure of the gantry grinding machine of this utility model, both the front and rear ends of the base and the retainer are fixedly connected with fixing plates, and the two fixing plates located on the same side are detachably connected by bolts.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 A sliding structure for a gantry grinding machine includes a base 1 with a hollow structure in the middle and a sliding body 5. A lubrication mechanism is provided above the base 1.
[0027] The lubrication mechanism includes multiple evenly distributed ball grooves 3 extending through the upper end of the base 1, with balls 11 installed inside each ball groove 3. A level gauge 7 extending into the base 1 is installed at the upper end of the base 1. A delivery pipe 8 with a solenoid valve is connected to the left end of the base 1, and the other end of the delivery pipe 8 is connected to a lubricating oil storage tank 9. A retainer 2 is provided at the upper end of the base 1, and multiple limiting grooves 6 adapted to the balls 11 are extended through the lower end of the retainer 2. A controller electrically connected to the solenoid valve and the level gauge 7 is installed at the left end of the base 1.
[0028] The cage 2 has a sliding plate 4 inside, and two symmetrically distributed vertical plates 13 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding plate 4. The outer walls of the two vertical plates 13 are provided with internal threaded holes 15. The left and right ends of the slide body 5 are fixedly connected with mounting plates 12. The outer walls of the two mounting plates 12 are provided with threaded rods 14 that are threaded to the two internal threaded holes 15 respectively.
[0029] In this embodiment: When the ball bearing 11 rolls, it carries out the lubricating fluid inside the base 1, reducing the rolling resistance of the ball bearing 11 and thus increasing the smoothness of the ball bearing 11 within the ball groove 3 and the limiting groove 6. As the lubricating fluid is continuously consumed, the lubricating fluid level in the base 1 gradually decreases. When the level drops to the lower limit value preset by the level gauge 7, the level gauge 7 transmits the detected signal to the controller installed on the left end of the base 1. The controller sends an opening command to the solenoid valve on the delivery pipe 8. At this time, the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil storage tank 9 flows into the cavity of the base 1 through the delivery pipe 8 under the action of gravity or pressure, realizing automatic replenishment of the lubricating fluid. This continuously provides good lubrication conditions for the operation of the ball bearing 11.
[0030] When the slide plate 4 wears out due to prolonged use and needs to be replaced, the operator only needs to use a tool to loosen the threaded rod 14 on the mounting plate 12, separating it from the internal threaded hole 15 on the vertical plate 13. Then, the worn slide plate 4 can be directly pulled out from inside the retainer 2, and the new slide plate 4 can be pushed in along the sliding track of the retainer 2. Finally, the threaded rod 14 is tightened again to make the mounting plate 12 and the vertical plate 13 securely connected, thus completing the quick replacement of the slide plate 4 without disassembling the entire slide body 5, greatly improving maintenance efficiency.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, both the left and right ends of the retainer 2 are detachably connected to baffles 10 by bolts.
[0032] In this embodiment, the baffle 10 can conveniently limit the slide plate 4 inside the retainer 2.
[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a sealing gasket frame 17 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1, and a slot 16 adapted to the sealing gasket frame 17 is opened at the lower end of the retainer 2.
[0034] In this embodiment, the connection between the retainer 2 and the base 1 can be sealed by the sealing gasket frame 17.
[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the base 1 and the retainer 2 are both fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the base plate 18, and the two fixed plates 18 located on the same side are detachably connected by bolts.
[0036] In this embodiment, the two fixing plates 18 located on the same side are detachably connected by bolts, which can easily fix the retainer 2 and the base 1.
[0037] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the material of the skateboard 4 is a high wear-resistant alloy.
[0038] In this embodiment, the skateboard 4 is made of a high wear-resistant alloy, which increases the service life of the skateboard 4.
[0039] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the slide plate 4 has a T-shaped structure.
[0040] In this embodiment, the slide plate 4 has a T-shaped structure, which facilitates its adaptation to the internal structure of the cage 2 and prevents the slide plate 4 from detaching from the cage 2.
[0041] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the base 1 is fixedly connected with a plurality of evenly distributed perforated plates with mounting holes.
[0042] In this embodiment, the base 1 can be easily installed on the gantry grinding machine via a perforated plate.
[0043] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During the operation of the gantry grinding machine, the slide body 5 slides along the base 1. At this time, the slide plate 4 slides on the upper end of the ball 11. When the ball 11 rolls, it carries out the lubricant inside the base 1, reducing the rolling resistance of the ball 11. This increases the smoothness of the ball 11 in the ball groove 3 and the limiting groove 6, thereby reducing the frictional resistance when the slide body 5 slides and ensuring stable operation.
[0044] As the lubricating fluid is continuously consumed, the lubricating fluid level in the base 1 gradually decreases. When the level drops to the lower limit preset by the level gauge 7, the level gauge 7 transmits the detected signal to the controller installed on the left end of the base 1. After receiving the signal, the controller analyzes and processes it, and sends an opening command to the solenoid valve on the delivery pipe 8. At this time, the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil storage tank 9 flows into the cavity of the base 1 through the delivery pipe 8 under the action of gravity or pressure, realizing automatic replenishment of the lubricating fluid. When the level gauge 7 detects that the level has risen to the preset upper limit, it sends a signal back to the controller, and the controller then controls the solenoid valve to close, stopping the delivery of lubricating oil, thereby ensuring that the lubricating fluid in the base 1 is always maintained in a suitable level range, continuously providing good lubrication conditions for the operation of the ball bearing 11.
[0045] When the slide plate 4 wears out due to prolonged use and needs to be replaced, the operator only needs to use a tool to loosen the threaded rod 14 on the mounting plate 12, separating it from the internal threaded hole 15 on the vertical plate 13. Then, the worn slide plate 4 can be directly pulled out from inside the retainer 2, and the new slide plate 4 can be pushed in along the sliding track of the retainer 2. Finally, the threaded rod 14 is tightened again to make the mounting plate 12 and the vertical plate 13 securely connected, thus completing the quick replacement of the slide plate 4 without disassembling the entire slide body 5, greatly improving maintenance efficiency.
