Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of protective cover technology, specifically relating to a protective cover structure for a metal cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Inside the power workshop of a tobacco company, various materials are often cut, such as tobacco shreds, filters, cigarette boxes, and aluminum foil. To facilitate operations, metal cutting machines are usually installed in the power workshop to cut various materials. However, the tobacco power workshop is different from ordinary places. It has various functions such as tobacco shredding, cooking, drying, and disinfection. To prevent tobacco dust, powder, and moisture from contaminating the materials on the cutting machine, a protective cover is usually installed at the cutting position to protect them.

[0003] However, the existing protective covers have relatively simple structures and functions. They are often just simple shell structures covering the cut-out areas. When it is necessary to clean, replace or repair various components inside the shell, the operating space is small and the operation is very inconvenient. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new protective cover structure to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This is an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a technical solution: a protective cover structure for a metal cutting machine, including two opposing side plates 100 and a back plate 200 connected between the rear ends of the side plates 100. A space with a front opening is formed between the two side plates 100 and the back plate 200. A flip-top cover 300, made of transparent plastic, is connected between the top ends of the side plates 100. The rear end of the flip-top cover 300 is rotatably connected to the top end of the back plate 200, allowing it to be rotated for opening and closing. Limiting components 400 are provided between the front sides of the flip-top cover 300 and the top ends of the side plates 100 to limit and fix the locked flip-top cover 300. The limiting components 400 include an overlapping step 401, an overlapping edge 402, and a baffle 403. The overlapping step 401 is fixed to the inner side of the top end of the side plate 100. The overlapping edge 402 is fixed to both sides of the flip-top cover 300. The overlapping edge 402 overlaps the overlapping step 401, supporting the flip-top cover 300. The baffle 403 is slidably connected to the top surface of the side plate 100, and its end blocks the top surface of the flip-top cover 300, locking it in place. To open the flip-top cover 300, the baffle 403 can be moved away from the top surface of the flip-top cover 300, releasing the lock and allowing it to be opened. The movable baffle 403 can be L-shaped for easy movement.

[0023] In this embodiment, preferably, the limiting component 400 further includes an embedded block 404 and an embedded groove 405. The embedded block 404 is fixed to the bottom surface of the baffle 403 and slides into the embedded groove 405 opened at the top of the side plate 100 to realize the sliding connection between the baffle 403 and the top of the side plate 100.

[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, the limiting component 400 further includes a fixing rod 406, which is fixed inside the inner groove 405 and passes through the inner block 404, so that the inner block 404 can be stably translated, thereby ensuring that the baffle 403 can be stably slid.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, the limiting component 400 further includes a spring 407, which is sleeved on the outer surface of the fixing rod 406, and the two ends of the spring 407 abut against the inner block 404 and the inner groove 405 respectively. The elastic force of the spring 407 allows the baffle 403 to be stably blocked on the surface of the flip-top cover 300.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the limiting component 400 further includes a rubber pad 409, which is disposed on the surface of the overlapping step 401 and presses against the overlapping edge 402. When the limiting of the flip-top cover 300 is released, the rubber pad 409 can lift the flip-top cover 300, making it easy to flip.

[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, the top of the back plate 200 is provided with an abutment component 500. The abutment component 500 includes an abutment strip 501 and a rubber sheet 502. The abutment strip 501 is fixed to the top of the back plate 200 and one side is inclined. The rubber sheet 502 is fixed to the inclined surface of the abutment strip 501. The flip-top cover 300 after opening can abut against the rubber sheet 502, thereby playing a supporting role.

[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, the side panel 100 includes a single panel 101 disposed opposite to each other, a groove 103 formed inside the single panel 101, a foam board 104 installed inside the groove 103, a connector strip 105 fixed to the upper and lower ends of the foam board 104, a connector slot 106 formed at the end of the groove 103 and inserted into the connector strip 105, and sound-absorbing holes 102 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the foam board 104. This design improves the sound insulation performance of the side panel 100, thereby reducing noise generated during cutting. The design of the connector strip 105 and the connector slot 106 facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the foam board 104. When it is necessary to remove the foam board 104, the connector strips 105 at the upper and lower ends can be removed first, making it easier to disassemble the foam board 104.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the detailed description above), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
