Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a vertical machining center with a foldable tool magazine structure, belonging to the technical field of vertical machining centers. Background Technology

[0002] A vertical machining center is a highly automated, multi-functional CNC machine tool with its spindle axis set perpendicular to the worktable. It is equipped with a tool magazine and an automatic tool changer and is suitable for machining complex parts such as plates, discs, molds, and small shells.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. (CN 218984085 U) discloses a vertical machining center bed, comprising: a base; a waste chip treatment structure disposed above the base; the waste chip treatment structure comprising: an extension plate disposed above the base; a motor fixedly mounted on the top of the extension plate; and a stop block fixedly connected to the top of the extension plate. Through the waste chip treatment structure, when the suction fan draws waste chips from the main body, the chips are intercepted on a filter screen. When the suction fan is turned off, the chips fall into the drawer below due to inertia. Simply pulling the drawer out of the collection box allows for centralized treatment of the waste chips, thereby removing residual debris, dust, and other solid impurities from the main body, preventing solid residue from affecting the machine's operation. The structure is simple, and this vertical machining center bed is highly practical and easy to promote. However, although machining centers can automatically change tools, they cannot accommodate all the tools that can be used with them on the tool holder. Therefore, tool changes are still required when machining different parts. Since all the tools in a machining center are stored in the tool magazine, it is inconvenient to retrieve and change them, which affects machining efficiency.

[0004] To address this, a vertical machining center with a foldable tool magazine structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a vertical machining center with a foldable tool magazine structure to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provides a beneficial option.

Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1 like Figure 1-2As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a vertical machining center with a foldable tool magazine structure, including: The fixing assembly includes a machining center body 101, a movable door 102, a fixing block 103, a fixing frame 104, a plug rod 105, and a compression spring 106. The rear side of the movable door 102 is movably connected to the front side of the machining center body 101 via a pivot. The rear sides of the fixing block 103 and the fixing frame 104 are both fixedly connected to the front side of the movable door 102. The left side of the plug rod 105 extends through the fixing frame 104 into the interior of the fixing block 103. The compression spring 106 is sleeved on the surface of the plug rod 105. The left side of the compression spring 106 is fixedly connected to the right side of the plug rod 105, and the right side of the compression spring 106 is fixedly connected to the interior of the fixing frame 104. A slot 107 is provided on the surface of the fixing block 103, and the left side of the plug rod 105 is movably connected to the interior of the slot 107.

[0023] When the movable door 102 is closed and fixed by the fixing component, the spring force of the compression spring 106 drives the insertion rod 105 to move to the left, so that the insertion rod 105 is inserted into the interior of the fixing block 103, which stably fixes the movable door 102 and prevents it from loosening. Through the slot 107, the insertion rod 105 is accurately inserted into the interior of the fixing block 103 when it is plugged in and fixed.

[0024] Example 2 like Figure 1 and Figure 3-6 As shown, in one embodiment, a storage assembly includes a telescopic cylinder 201, a pushing block 202, and a placement plate 203. The rear side of the telescopic cylinder 201 is fixedly connected to the interior of the machining center body 101. The outer side of the placement plate 203 is movably connected to the interior of the machining center body 101. The top of the pushing block 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement plate 203. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 201 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the pushing block 202. A limiting block 204 is fixedly connected to the interior of the machining center body 101. The outer side of the placement plate 203 is movably connected to the interior of the limiting block 204. A sliding block 205 is fixedly connected to the bottom, and an extension plate 206 is movably connected inside the sliding block 205. A dual-head motor 207 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push block 202, and a screw 208 is fixedly connected to the output end of the dual-head motor 207.

Placement grooves 211 are opened on the surfaces of both the placement plate 203 and the extension plate 206. The diameter of the placement groove 211 is larger than the diameter of the cutter.

[0025] The excess blades are placed inside the storage slot 211 by the storage component. The storage plate 203 is moved back and forth by the telescopic cylinder 201 for storage. The storage capacity of the blades can be further increased by setting the extension plate 206. The operation of the extension plate 206 is convenient for the staff when it is unfolded by the dual-head motor 207 and the screw 208.

[0026] When this utility model is in operation: First, pull the insertion rod 105 to the right. As the insertion rod 105 moves to the right, it compresses the compression spring 106, causing the insertion rod 105 to disengage from the slot 107. At this time, the movable door 102 can be opened. After that, start the telescopic cylinder 201. The telescopic cylinder 201 pushes the placement plate 203 forward. After the placement plate 203 is pushed out, start the double-head motor 207. The double-head motor 207 drives the screw 208 to rotate. The screw 208 drives the extension plate 206 to move outward at the same time, so that the extension plate 206 can be unfolded for use, making it convenient for workers to replace the drill bit.

[0027] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
