Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of thrust rod bracket processing technology, and more specifically, to a vertical machining center for processing thrust rod brackets. Background Technology

[0002] A vertical machining center is a machining center in which the spindle axis is set perpendicular to the worktable. It is mainly suitable for machining complex parts such as plates, discs, molds and small shells. Vertical machining centers can complete milling, boring, drilling, tapping and thread cutting operations. A vertical machining center is at least three-axis with two-linkage.

[0003] Existing vertical machining centers use fixtures to fix the workpiece on the worktable and drive a motor to rotate the cutter head to process the workpiece. However, during the processing, the cutting fluid and chips tend to splash everywhere, causing the splashed chips to adhere to the protective door and affecting the operator's ability to observe the inside of the machine.

[0004] The aforementioned vertical machining center suffers from a drawback: during the machining process, chips and cutting fluid tend to adhere to the protective door, making it difficult for operators to observe the internal conditions of the device and thus reducing its effectiveness.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the vertical machining center for processing the thrust rod bracket described in this utility model, in order to prevent the cutting fluid from splashing onto the sensor, a protective plate is installed on the back of the fixing frame, and the number of the protective plates is four sets.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the vertical machining center for processing the thrust rod bracket described in this utility model, in order to better clean the adhering debris, the cleaning mechanism includes a connecting plate, a transmission rod, a cleaning shaft, a cleaning brush, and a moving wheel. The connecting plate is installed on the front of the protective plate, and the transmission rod is rotatably connected inside the connecting plate. The cleaning shaft is installed on the outer surface of the transmission rod, and a cleaning brush is installed on the outer surface of the cleaning shaft. The moving wheel is installed at the top of the transmission rod.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the vertical machining center for processing the push rod bracket described in this utility model, in order to better enable the internal linkage of the device, the output end of the sensor is electrically connected to the input end of the controller, and the output end of the controller is electrically connected to the input end of the push rod motor.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the vertical machining center for processing the push rod bracket described in this utility model, in order to prevent the cutting fluid from entering the interior of the connecting frame, a baffle is installed inside the connecting frame, the output end of the push rod motor passes through the interior of the baffle, a connecting pin is threaded through the outer surface of the connecting pipe, one end of the connecting pin passing through the connecting pipe abuts against the output end of the push rod motor, and a support plate is installed on the lower surface of the machining center body.

[0025] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0026] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product.

[0030] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] like Figures 1-5As shown, an embodiment of this disclosure provides a vertical machining center for processing push rod brackets, which includes a machining center body 1, a blocking door 2, a moving handle 3, a fixing plate 4, a fixing pin 5, a connecting frame 6, a push rod motor 7, a connecting pipe 9, a cleaning mechanism, and a sweeping mechanism.

[0032] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the blocking door 2 is slidably connected to the machining center body 1. A movable handle 3 is installed on the front of the blocking door 2. The fixing plate 4 is slidably connected to the machining center body 1 through the first connecting groove. The machining center body 1 includes an outer shell, a machining mechanism, a control panel, and a worktable. A fixing pin 5 is threaded through the inner side of the fixing plate 4. One end of the fixing pin 5, which is threaded through the fixing plate 4, is threaded inside the machining center body 1. The connecting frame 6 is slidably connected to the machining center body 1. The back of the connecting frame 6 is installed on the front of the fixing plate 4. A push rod motor 7 is installed inside the connecting frame 6. A connecting pipe 9 is sleeved on the output end of the push rod motor 7. A cleaning mechanism is located on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 9. A sweeping mechanism is located on the front of the cleaning mechanism. A blocking plate 8 is installed inside the connecting frame 6. The output end of the push rod motor 7 passes through the interior of the blocking plate 8. Figure 4 As shown, a connecting pin 10 is threaded through the outer surface of the connecting pipe 9. One end of the connecting pin 10, which is threaded through the connecting pipe 9, abuts against the output end of the push rod motor 7. Figure 1 As shown, a support plate 24 is installed on the lower surface of the machining center body 1.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, a baffle plate 21 is installed inside the machining center body 1. A controller 22 is installed on the back of the baffle plate 21, and a sensor 23 is installed on the front of the baffle plate 21. The sensor 23 is a common infrared sensor on the market. The output end of the sensor 23 is electrically connected to the input end of the controller 22, and the output end of the controller 22 is electrically connected to the input end of the push rod motor 7.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning mechanism includes a connecting frame 11 and a cleaning strip 12. The connecting frame 11 is installed on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 9, and the cleaning strip 12 is installed on the front of the connecting frame 11. The cleaning strip 12 is made of rubber and is relatively soft. The connecting frame 11 is slidably connected to a plug strip 13 through a second connecting groove. A fixing frame 14 is installed on the back of the plug strip 13, and a protective plate 15 is installed on the back of the fixing frame 14. There are four sets of protective plates 15.

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, the cleaning mechanism includes a connecting plate 16, a transmission rod 17, a cleaning shaft 18, a cleaning brush 19, and a moving wheel 20. The connecting plate 16 is installed on the front of the protective plate 15. The transmission rod 17 is rotatably connected inside the connecting plate 16. The cleaning shaft 18 is installed on the outer surface of the transmission rod 17. The cleaning brush 19 is installed on the outer surface of the cleaning shaft 18. The moving wheel 20 is installed at the top of the transmission rod 17. The movement trajectory of the moving wheel 20 is blocked by the baffle plate 21, so no debris or cutting fluid will stick to the movement trajectory of the moving wheel 20.

[0036] It should be noted that the push rod motor 7 is started by an external control switch, and the controller 22, sensor 23 and push rod motor 7 all require an external power supply.

[0037] In this embodiment, the manipulator fixation frame 14 slides the plug strip 13 into the connecting frame 11, the manipulator connecting tube 9 is fitted onto the output end of the push rod motor 7, the manipulator connecting pin 10 is inserted into the connecting tube 9, and then the connecting pin 10 is rotated clockwise to press against the output end of the push rod motor 7, the manipulator moving handle 3 moves the blocking door 2 outward along the machining center body 1 to open it, the manipulator connecting frame 6 slides into the outer shell, so that the fixing plate 4 slides into the outer shell, the manipulator fixing pin 5 passes through the fixing plate 4 and inserts into the outer shell, and then the fixing pin 5 is rotated clockwise to fix the fixing plate 4.

[0038] When it is necessary to clean the barrier gate 2, the push rod motor 7 is activated. The output end of the push rod motor 7 moves inward, driving the connecting pipe 9 inward. This inward movement is centered on the contact position of the two sets of barrier gates 2. The inward movement of the connecting pipe 9 drives the connecting frame 11 inward, which in turn drives the insert strip 13 inward. The inward movement of the insert strip 13 inward drives the fixing frame 14 inward, which in turn drives the protective plate 15 inward. This allows the protective plate 15 to block the splashed debris and cutting fluid. The blocking and protective plate 15 moves inward, causing the connecting plate 16 to move inward. The connecting plate 16 moves inward, causing the transmission rod 17 to move inward, so that the moving wheel 20 rolls along the blocking gate 2, causing the transmission rod 17 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 17 causes the cleaning shaft 18 to rotate, and the rotation of the cleaning shaft 18 causes the cleaning brush 19 to rotate. The rotation of the cleaning brush 19 cleans the debris adhering to the blocking gate 2. At the same time, the connecting frame 11 moves inward, causing the cleaning strip 12 to move inward. The cleaning strip 12 moves inward to clean the cutting fluid.

[0039] When the protective plate 15 blocks the sensor 23, the sensor 23 transmits an electrical signal to the controller 22. The controller 22 controls the output end of the push rod motor 7 to move outward. This outward movement is centered on the contact position of the two sets of blocking doors 2. The output end of the push rod motor 7 moves outward and performs a secondary cleaning of the blocking door 2 through the cleaning strip 12 and cleaning brush 19 until the push rod motor 7 is reset. Then, the controller 22 controls the push rod motor 7 to turn off.

[0040] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
