Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of machine tools, specifically relating to a conveniently installed hollow logo light structure and machine tool. Background Technology

[0002] In the design and manufacturing of modern industrial equipment, the appearance quality and brand recognition of products are increasingly becoming important factors affecting market competitiveness. In order to enhance the visual recognition of equipment and corporate image, more and more industrial equipment such as machine tools, CNC equipment, and automated production lines are beginning to integrate lighting decoration devices with corporate logos or graphic symbols, namely "LOGO lights".

[0003] Currently, most mainstream logo light structures use external screw fixing, where the logo light assembly is aligned with the mounting holes on the side panel and then directly fastened to the side panel from the outside using screws. While this method is simple and low-cost, it has revealed several technical shortcomings in practical applications:

[0004] 1. The assembly process is cumbersome and inefficient: The installation process requires manual alignment and screwdriver to tighten multiple screws one by one. The operation steps are numerous and time-consuming, which is difficult to meet the requirements of modern intelligent manufacturing for efficient assembly. In particular, it significantly increases labor costs and cycle time in mass production scenarios.

[0005] 2. Unattractive appearance, affecting the overall industrial design: Exposed screw heads disrupt the integrity of the equipment surface, creating visual "breakpoints". This not only affects the overall aesthetics but also makes it easy to accumulate oil and dust, making daily cleaning and maintenance difficult. This does not meet the pursuit of "integrated and minimalist" appearance design for high-end equipment.

[0006] 3. Difficulty in controlling installation accuracy, leading to assembly deviations: Due to the lack of effective guiding and limiting mechanisms, the installation process relies on the operator's experience for alignment, often resulting in problems such as tilting, eccentricity, or inconsistent front and rear protrusions of the logo light panel after installation. In particular, when the front surface of the logo light panel is higher or lower than the outer wall of the side panel, it will cause uneven light scattering and blurred logo edges, seriously affecting the display effect and brand image. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a convenient installation structure and machine tool for a hollow logo light, which is simple in structure, has good stability, is easy to install, has accurate positioning, and is aesthetically pleasing.

[0008] The objective of this utility model can be achieved by addressing the following technical problem: a conveniently installed hollow logo light structure is proposed for mounting on the side plate of a machine tool. Its features include:

[0009] A positioning component is provided, wherein mounting holes are formed on the side plate, the positioning component is attached to the inner wall of the side plate, and is distributed around the periphery of the mounting holes;

[0010] A light source board and a logo light board are provided. The light source board has a light source area, and the logo light board has a connector and a cutout area. The connector extends into the light source board, so that the cutout area is located within the light source area.

[0011] A cover plate covers the light source plate and the positioning component. The cover plate is used to connect the positioning component and the connector respectively to restrict the movement of the light source plate and the LOGO light plate relative to the side plate.

[0012] When the connector extends into the light source plate, the light source plate can drive the LOGO light plate to move along the thickness direction of the positioning component, so that the light source plate extends into the mounting hole and the outer wall of the LOGO light plate is flush with the outer wall of the side plate.

[0013] In the above-mentioned convenient installation hollow logo light structure, the positioning component includes a support block and a limiting block. The support block is located at the top and bottom of the mounting hole, and the limiting block is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the support block and perpendicular to the support block. The limiting block and the support block together form a guide cavity.

[0014] In the above-mentioned convenient installation hollow logo light structure, a through hole is formed on the light source plate, a first connecting hole is formed on the cover plate, and the connector extends into the through hole. When the first connecting hole is connected to the through hole, a fastener can pass through and be connected to the connector.

[0015] In the above-mentioned convenient installation hollow logo light structure, locking holes are formed on both the limiting block and the supporting block, and a second connecting hole is formed on the periphery of the cover plate. The second connecting hole is aligned with the locking hole and can be connected by locking screws.

[0016] In the aforementioned easy-to-install hollow logo light structure, a light source adjuster is also provided on the cover plate.

[0017] In the above-mentioned convenient installation hollow logo light structure, the inner wall of the side plate is also equipped with an anti-detachment block located on one side of the limiting block. The anti-detachment block and the side plate together form a limiting cavity, which is used to bind the wire harness connected to the light source board.

[0018] In the above-mentioned convenient installation hollow logo light structure, the inner wall of the side plate is also equipped with an anti-detachment block located on one side of the limiting block. The anti-detachment block and the side plate together form a limiting cavity, which is used to bind the wire harness connected to the light source board.

[0019] In the aforementioned easy-to-install hollow logo light structure, sealant is also provided around the periphery of the cover plate.

[0020] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is to also propose a machine tool, including the above-mentioned convenient installation hollow LOGO light structure.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] (1) The present invention provides a convenient installation hollow LOGO light structure and machine tool. By setting a connector built into the light source plate, a positioning component that fits the inner wall of the side plate, and a cover plate that can connect the positioning component and the connector at the same time, an integrated structure is formed that can achieve fast, accurate and adjustment-free installation without external tools. The connector on the LOGO light plate extends into the interior of the light source plate and cooperates with it, so that the light source plate can drive the LOGO light plate to move along the thickness direction of the positioning component. During the installation process, the locking action of the cover plate drives the light source plate to push the LOGO light plate forward until its outer wall is flush with the outer wall of the machine tool side plate, realizing the integrated installation effect of "self-alignment and self-limitation".

[0023] (2) Add a light source regulator to the cover plate to enable on-site adjustment of the brightness, color temperature or on / off status of the light source board, so as to meet different usage environments and user personalized needs.

[0024] (3) The limiting cavity formed by the anti-detachment block and the side plate effectively solves the problems of messy cables, easy wear or being pulled by mechanical parts. At the same time, it provides directional guidance and physical protection for the wire harness, avoiding interference with other components during the machine tool movement and reducing the risk of electrical faults such as short circuits and open circuits.

[0036] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0037] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this solution mainly describes a convenient-to-install hollow logo light structure for use on machine tools. However, this convenient-to-install hollow logo light structure is not limited to use on machine tools, but can also be applied to other equipment that requires the installation of logo light structures.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a conveniently installed hollow logo light structure is used to install on the side plate 1 of a machine tool, including a positioning component 2, a light source plate 3, a logo light plate 4, and a cover plate 5.

[0040] The system includes a positioning component 2, a mounting hole 10 formed on the side plate 1, the positioning component 2 being tightly attached to the inner wall of the side plate 1 and distributed around the periphery of the mounting hole 10; a light source plate 3 and a logo light plate 4, the light source plate 3 having a light source area 30, and the logo light plate 4 having a connector 40 and a hollow area 41, the connector 40 extending into the light source plate 3 so that the hollow area 41 is located within the light source area 30; a cover plate 5 covering the light source plate 3 and the positioning component 2, the cover plate 5 being used to connect the positioning component 2 and the connector 40 respectively, to restrict the movement of the light source plate 3 and the logo light plate 4 relative to the side plate 1; when the connector 40 extends into the light source plate 3, the light source plate 3 can drive the logo light plate 4 to move along the thickness direction of the positioning component 2, so that the light source plate 3 extends into the mounting hole 10, and the outer wall of the logo light plate 4 is flush with the outer wall of the side plate 1.

[0041] This embodiment is mainly for forming the user's required logo on the side plate 1 of the machine tool. Specifically, for example... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, firstly, the positioning component 2 is aligned with the periphery of the mounting hole 10 from the inside of the machine tool side plate 1, so that it fits tightly against the inner wall of the side plate 1 and is initially fixed. At this time, the mounting hole 10 is completely surrounded by the positioning component 2, forming a reference platform for subsequent component installation. Before this, the worker can pre-assemble the light source board 3 and the LOGO light board 4. The connector 40 on the LOGO light board 4 is inserted into the corresponding connection position on the light source board 3. This connection allows the LOGO light board 4 to be positioned relative to the light source board 3 along... Figure 6 The left and right directions are shown as moving closer or further away, but the two are restricted in their respective directions. Figure 6Vertical relative movement; after assembly, the cutout area 41 on the LOGO light plate 4 is precisely located above the light source area 30 of the light source plate 3, ensuring that the light can completely pass through the cutout pattern; the pre-assembled light source plate 3 and LOGO light plate 4 are aligned from the inside of the side plate 1 with the mounting hole 10 and the positioning component 2, and pushed into the mounting hole 10 in a direction perpendicular to the side plate 1 (i.e., the thickness direction of the positioning component 2). During the pushing process, due to the cooperative design of the connector 40 and the light source plate 3, the LOGO light plate 4 will move together with the light source plate 3. At the same time, the positioning component 2 guides and limits the light source plate 3 to ensure its accurate entry. Insert the mounting hole 10; when the light source board 3 and the LOGO light board 4 are pushed to the predetermined position (i.e., the outer wall of the LOGO light board 4 is flush with the outer wall of the side plate 1), install the cover plate 5 from the inside of the side plate 1, thereby realizing the connection and fixation with the positioning component 2 (inside the side plate 1) and the connector 40 on the LOGO light board 4 (outside the side plate 1). After installation, turn on the power of the light source board 3, and the LED and other light sources emit light. The light passes through the hollow area 41 of the LOGO light board 4 and forms a clear and bright LOGO pattern on the outside of the machine tool (it should be noted that the pattern of the hollow area 41 in this embodiment can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual needs of the user). As can be seen, this embodiment achieves rapid and precise installation of the logo light on the machine tool side plate 1 by setting up the positioning component 2, the light source plate 3, the logo light plate 4, and the cover plate 5 in a coordinated manner. The light source area 30 on the light source plate 3 is precisely aligned with the hollow area 41 on the logo light plate 4, ensuring that the light passes through the hollow area 41 to form a clear mark. The logo light plate 4 is connected to the light source plate 3 by the connector 40, and the positioning component 2 and the connector 40 are fixed by the cover plate 5 at the same time, which effectively restricts the movement of each component relative to the side plate 1, improves the structural stability, and makes the overall appearance neat and beautiful. Installation can be completed without complicated tools, which significantly improves the assembly efficiency.

[0042] The positioning component 2 includes a support block 20 and a limiting block 21. The support block 20 is located at the top and bottom of the mounting hole 10. The limiting block 21 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the support block 20 and is perpendicular to the support block 20. The limiting block 21 and the support block 20 together form a guide cavity.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this embodiment adopts a combination design of support block 20 and limiting block 21. The support block 20 is located at the top and bottom of the mounting hole 10, providing the main load-bearing surface. The limiting block 21 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the support block 20 and perpendicular to it, forming a guide cavity together. This guide cavity not only provides guidance for the insertion of the light source plate 3 and the LOGO light plate 4, ensuring the centering and smoothness during the installation process, but also enhances the torsional and deformation resistance of the overall structure. The symmetrically arranged limiting block 21 effectively prevents the components from shifting or tilting during the installation process, improves the assembly accuracy, and also facilitates processing and maintenance, thereby improving the reliability and manufacturability of the product.

[0044] A through hole 31 is formed on the light source plate 3, and a first connecting hole 51 is formed on the cover plate 5. The connector 40 extends into the through hole 31. When the first connecting hole 51 is connected to the through hole 31, a fastener can pass through and be connected to the connector 40.

[0045] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, when the first connecting hole 51 is aligned and connected with the through hole 31, the connector 40 can be tightened by fasteners (screws or other structures) passing through it. This design realizes the integrated fixing between the cover plate 5, the light source plate 3 and the LOGO light plate 4, simplifies the connection structure, reduces the number of independent fastening points, and reduces the assembly complexity. At the same time, the structure of the connector 40 embedded in the through hole 31 enhances the connection rigidity, avoids loosening caused by vibration, and improves the vibration resistance and long-term reliability of the LOGO light plate 4 in the machine tool operating environment.

[0046] Both the limiting block 21 and the support block 20 have locking holes 220, and the cover plate 5 has a second connecting hole 52 at its periphery. The second connecting hole 52 is aligned with the locking hole 220 and can be connected by a locking screw.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, similarly, this embodiment uses locking screws to achieve a firm connection between the cover plate 5 and the positioning component 2, further enhancing the stability of the overall structure. This multi-point locking method is evenly distributed around the structure, effectively dispersing stress and preventing excessive local stress from causing deformation or damage. Especially in the working environment of frequent machine tool vibration, this connection structure can effectively prevent the cover plate 5 from falling off or loosening, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the lamp. At the same time, the structure still maintains easy disassembly, facilitating later maintenance or replacement of the light source component.

[0048] Preferably, such as Figure 2As shown, this embodiment also adds a light source adjuster 53 to the cover plate 5, which can realize on-site adjustment of the brightness, color temperature, or on / off status of the light source plate 3 to meet different usage environments and user-specific needs. For example, the brightness can be increased in a dimly lit workshop environment, and it can be adjusted to a dynamic flashing mode to enhance visual appeal in display settings. This design integrates the control function into the lamp body structure, simplifies the electrical system layout, improves the ease of operation and intelligence, and further enhances the practicality and market competitiveness of the product.

[0049] The inner wall of the side plate 1 is also equipped with an anti-detachment block 11 located on one side of the limiting block 21. The anti-detachment block 11 and the side plate 1 together form a limiting cavity 110, which is used to bind the wire harness connecting the light source board 3.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the anti-detachment block 11 and the side plate 1 together form a limiting cavity 110, which plays a certain role in restraining the wire harness connected to the light source board 3. This effectively solves the problems of messy, easily worn, or pulled by mechanical parts in traditional lamps. The limiting cavity 110 provides directional guidance and physical protection for the wire harness, preventing it from interfering with other components during machine tool movement and reducing the risk of electrical faults such as short circuits and open circuits. At the same time, the wire harness is constrained in a fixed path, which is conducive to the standardization of the overall wiring, improves the internal cleanliness and safety of the product, and meets the strict requirements of modern high-end machine tools for the reliability of electrical systems.

[0051] The connector 40 includes a main body 400 and a connecting part 401. The main body 400 and the logo light panel 4 are integrally formed or detachably connected. The connecting part 401 is connected to the main body 400, and a threaded hole 401a for fastener connection is formed in the connecting part 401.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, the connector 40 in this embodiment consists of two parts: a main body 400 and a connecting part 401. The main body 400 and the logo light panel 4 can be integrally molded (to improve strength and sealing) or detachably connected (to facilitate the replacement of logo light panels 4 with different patterns), realizing a modular product design and adapting to the application needs of multiple models and brands. The connecting part 401 has a built-in threaded hole 401a, which facilitates direct mating with fasteners without the need for additional nuts, reducing the number of parts and lowering assembly difficulty and cost. The threaded hole 401a structure also provides a reliable preload, ensuring a firm connection and preventing loosening due to vibration, significantly improving the safety and durability of the connection.

[0053] Preferably, in this embodiment, a sealant (not shown in the figure) is also provided at the periphery of the cover plate 5. Since the cover plate 5 not only serves to connect the light source plate 3, the support block 20 and the limiting block 21, but also provides an overall sealing effect for the mounting hole 10, the sealant effectively seals the gap between the cover plate 5 and the side plate 1, preventing external moisture, cutting fluid, dust and other pollutants from entering the lamp, avoiding short circuits, corrosion of the light source plate 3 or contamination of the LOGO lamp plate 4, greatly improving the product's environmental adaptability, and is especially suitable for the working environment of industrial machine tools that are humid, dusty and have high oil mist.
