Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coolant baffle technology, and in particular to a splash-proof coolant baffle for CNC machine tools. Background Technology

[0002] In the machining process of CNC machine tools, coolant plays a crucial role. When the cutting tool comes into contact with the workpiece, a large amount of heat is generated due to the friction between the workpiece and the tool. If heat is not dissipated in time, the excessively high temperature will lead to a series of negative consequences. On the one hand, it will cause the tool to wear out rapidly, greatly reducing the tool's service life and increasing production costs. On the other hand, high temperature may cause adverse changes in the metallurgical properties and toughness of the workpiece, causing thermal expansion of the workpiece, resulting in dimensional errors, and even triggering chemical reactions such as oxidation, which seriously affect the machining accuracy and quality of the workpiece.

[0003] However, the use of coolant during CNC machine tool processing can cause coolant splashing. The splashed coolant can create slippery areas on the ground, increasing the risk of operators slipping. At the same time, the evaporating oil mist (especially oil-based cutting fluid) can pollute the workshop air, and long-term inhalation may harm human health (such as causing respiratory diseases). In addition, the coolant residue on the ground needs to be cleaned regularly, increasing the workload of cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a splash-proof coolant baffle for CNC machine tools, aiming to improve the problem of coolant splashing during the use of existing CNC machine tools.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a splash-proof coolant baffle for a CNC machine tool, comprising a main baffle, a side baffle on one side of the main baffle, a mounting post fixedly connected to the bottom of the side baffle, a threaded post threadedly connected inside the side baffle, a handle fixedly connected to one end of the threaded post, and a wedge-shaped post rotatably connected to the other end of the threaded post. The outer wall of the wedge-shaped post slidably connected to the inside of the side baffle, and a second wedge-shaped post slidably connected inside the mounting post. The outer wall of the second wedge-shaped post fits against the outer wall of the first wedge-shaped post. A limit groove is formed inside the second wedge-shaped post. Pressure claws are rotatably connected to both sides inside the mounting post. A spring is provided inside the mounting post, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting post, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second wedge-shaped post. An opening and closing assembly is provided inside the main baffle.

[0006] Furthermore, the opening and closing assembly includes a movable door panel and a glass panel, the outer wall of the movable door panel being slidably connected to the inside of the main baffle, and the outer wall of the glass panel being fixedly connected to the inside of the movable door panel.

[0007] Furthermore, the main baffle is internally threaded with a bolt, the side baffle has an internal mounting hole one, the outer wall of the bolt is threaded into the internal mounting hole one, the main baffle has an internal mounting hole two, the outer wall of the bolt is threaded into the internal mounting hole two.

[0008] Furthermore, the main baffle has a storage groove inside, and the outer wall of the movable door panel is slidably connected to the storage groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the movable door panel is rotatably connected to rollers, and the main baffle is provided with a sliding groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the roller is in contact with the outer wall of the chute, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the main baffle.

[0011] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block, and a rack is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the movable door panel.

This solves the problem of coolant splashing during the use of CNC machine tools and improves the safety of CNC machine tool use.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, the gear is first driven to rotate by an electric motor, and then the gear drives the movable door panel to slide through the rack, which can control the opening and closing of the main baffle, thereby facilitating the loading and unloading of materials when using the baffle and improving the convenience of using the baffle.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a splash-proof coolant baffle for a CNC machine tool, comprising a main baffle 1, a side baffle 4 on one side of the main baffle 1, a mounting post 8 fixedly connected to the bottom of the side baffle 4, a threaded post 12 threadedly connected inside the side baffle 4, a handle 7 fixedly connected to one end of the threaded post 12, and a wedge-shaped post 11 rotatably connected to the other end of the threaded post 12. The outer wall of the wedge-shaped post 11 is slidably connected inside the side baffle 4. A second wedge-shaped post 13 is slidably connected inside the mounting post 8, and the outer wall of the second wedge-shaped post 13 is connected to the wedge. The outer walls of the first wedge column 11 are fitted together, and the inner wall of the second wedge column 13 has a limiting groove 16. Both sides of the inner wall of the mounting column 8 are rotatably connected to the pressure claws 14. The inner wall of the mounting column 8 is provided with a spring 15. One end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting column 8, and the other end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second wedge column 13. The main baffle 1 is provided with an opening and closing assembly, which includes a movable door panel 5 and a glass panel 6. The outer wall of the movable door panel 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the main baffle 1, and the outer wall of the glass panel 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable door panel 5.

[0024] Specifically, when using this baffle, both the main baffle 1 and the side baffle 4 are made of high-strength, impact-resistant polycarbonate material with a special coating treatment, providing excellent corrosion and scratch resistance. This effectively resists chemical corrosion from coolant and impacts from metal fragments. During operation, the operator first aligns the main baffle 1 and side baffle 4, then tightens them using the matching stainless steel bolts 3. The main baffle 1 and side baffle 4 form a complete enclosed structure, tightly surrounding the CNC machine tool's working space and creating a reliable protective barrier. This effectively prevents coolant splashing during operation, protecting the operator's safety and maintaining a clean workshop environment, reducing subsequent cleaning workload. When fixing the baffle to the machine tool, the operator first aligns the mounting post 8 at the bottom of the side baffle 4 with the pre-set slot on the machine tool, facilitating installation and providing initial positioning. After insertion, the operator drives the internal threaded post 12 to rotate by rotating the handle 7. As the threaded post 12 rotates, the wedge-shaped post 11 at its front end slides along the axial direction. Utilizing the inclined plane transmission principle of the wedge structure, the sliding of the wedge-shaped post 11 pushes the wedge-shaped post 13 that cooperates with it to slide synchronously. During the sliding of the wedge-shaped post 13, the inner wall of the limiting groove 16 inside it applies a pushing force to one side of the pressure claw 14. After being subjected to force, the pressure claw 14 rotates around the axis. When the pressure claw 14 rotates to a suitable angle, its end will press tightly against the inner wall of the machine tool's preset slot, forming a multi-point contact fastening state. This unique wedge-shaped linkage locking mechanism is not only convenient and efficient to install and disassemble, but also provides strong fixing force. Even under the conditions of high-speed operation and severe vibration of the machine tool, it can ensure that the baffle is stable and does not loosen, thereby ensuring that the baffle always plays a good protective role during the machine tool processing.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The main baffle 1 has a bolt 3 threaded inside, the side baffle 4 has a mounting hole 9 inside, the bolt 3 is threaded inside the mounting hole 9, the main baffle 1 has a mounting hole 10 inside, and the bolt 3 is threaded inside the mounting hole 10.

[0026] Specifically, the main baffle 1 has a second mounting hole 10, and the side baffle 4 has a first mounting hole 9. The main baffle 1 and the side baffle 4 can be connected by passing the bolts 3 through the second mounting hole 10 and the first mounting hole 9 in sequence, which allows them to be quickly assembled and used, improving the ease of use of the device.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The main baffle 1 has a storage groove 18 inside. The outer wall of the movable door panel 5 is slidably connected to the storage groove 18. The movable door panel 5 is rotatably connected to a roller 19. The main baffle 1 has a sliding groove 17 inside. The outer wall of the roller 19 fits against the outer wall of the sliding groove 17. A fixing block 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the main baffle 1. A motor 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing block 2. A rack 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the movable door panel 5. A gear 21 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 20. The outer wall of the gear 21 meshes with the outer wall of the rack 22.

[0028] Specifically, in the material handling process, the automated opening and closing design of the movable door panel 5 greatly improves the operating efficiency. The output shaft of the motor 20 drives the gear 21 to rotate in a preset direction, and then the gear 21 meshes with the rack 22 to drive the movable door panel 5. Four rollers 19 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the movable door panel 5. The rollers 19 form a clearance fit with the sliding groove 17 opened inside the main baffle 1. When the rack 22 is driven by the gear 21 to move in a straight line, the movable door panel 5, which is fixedly connected to the rack 22, slides synchronously. As the door panel moves, the rollers 19 roll along the track of the sliding groove 17, and smoothly slide the movable door panel 5 into the pre-designed storage slot 18 inside the main baffle 1, which significantly improves the production efficiency of the CNC machine tool.

[0029] Working principle: When this baffle is in use, the main baffle 1 and the side baffle 4 can be connected by bolts 3, so that the main baffle 1 and the side baffle 4 surround the workspace and prevent coolant from splashing during CNC machine tool operation. At the same time, the mounting post 8 at the bottom of the side baffle 4 can be inserted into the preset hole slot of the machine tool. Then, the handle 7 controls the rotation of the threaded post 12. The rotation of the threaded post 12 will push the first wedge post 11 to slide, thereby pushing the second wedge post 13 to slide. Under the sliding of the second wedge post 13, the inner wall of the limiting groove 16 opened inside the second wedge post 13 will push the first wedge post 14 to slide. The pressure claw 14 rotates, pressing against the inner wall of the machine tool's preset slot, thus fixing the baffle to the machine tool for use. When picking up or putting down materials, the motor 20 drives the gear 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the rack 22 that meshes with it. The rack 22 then drives the movable door plate 5 to slide. The movable door plate 5 is equipped with rollers 19, which can roll in the sliding groove 17 inside the main baffle 1, allowing the movable door plate 5 to slide into the storage groove 18 inside the main baffle 1 and be hidden, thus opening the movable door plate 5.

[0030] 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.
