Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC lathe machining parts, and in particular to an integrated gantry robot for CNC lathes. Background Technology

[0002] A CNC lathe is an automated machining equipment controlled by a computer numerical control system. It utilizes pre-programmed instructions to control the machine tool's movement and operation, achieving high-precision and high-efficiency machining. CNC lathes are widely used in industries such as machinery manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical devices, and are an indispensable piece of equipment in modern manufacturing.

[0003] Currently, most gantry robot guards and CNC lathes on the market are independent units. The robot's travel distance is too long, which easily leads to the risk of products splashing and falling during operation. They also occupy a lot of space, which does not meet the needs of compact production. Maintenance is complex and cleaning is difficult. Traditional gantry robot guards require matching with expensive gantry robots. Since the hopper and electrical control cabinet need to be manufactured by the robot manufacturer and the hopper is outside the CNC lathe, the gantry robot's travel distance needs to be large to meet the back-and-forth movement of the hopper to the CNC lathe clamping point, which naturally results in high manufacturing costs. Traditional gantry robot guards and gantry robots are not easy to move when they are matched. If they need to be moved, the gantry robot is difficult to disassemble, which delays the subsequent parameter debugging and reduces its practicality. Utility Model Content

Two cooling fans are also provided on one side of the electrical control cabinet, and the two cooling fans are arranged in a one-in-one-out structure.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This application features an integrated design of the gantry robot assembly and the CNC lathe, integrating the gantry robot assembly, the hopper, and the electrical control cabinet onto the CNC lathe.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 A CNC lathe integrated gantry robot, comprising a lathe body 1;

[0026] A material bin 11 is provided on one side of the upper end of the lathe body 1, a skylight assembly 2 is provided on the other side of the upper end of the lathe body, and a gantry robot assembly 3 is provided on the upper end of the material bin 11.

[0027] The gantry robot assembly 3 includes an x-axis moving module 31 mounted on the upper rear side of the lathe body 1. A y-axis moving module 32 is provided on the moving part of the x-axis moving module 31. A z-axis lifting module 33 is provided on the moving part of the y-axis moving module 32. A robot mounting seat 34 for mounting different types of robots is provided on the lifting part of the z-axis lifting module 33. The x-axis moving module 31 drives the robot mounting seat 34 to reciprocate between the hopper 11 and the skylight assembly 2.

[0028] During operation, the workpiece is placed on the hopper 11. Based on the shape and structure of the workpiece, a matching robot arm is installed on the robot arm mounting base 34. The Z-axis lifting module 33 drives the robot arm to descend, clamp the workpiece, and then rises. The X-axis moving module 31 drives the robot arm to move to the upper end of the sunroof assembly 2. Subsequently, the robot arm sends the clamped workpiece into the machining cavity of the lathe body 1 through the Z-axis lifting module 33. With the cooperation of the X-axis moving module 31 and the Y-axis moving module 32, the workpiece is fixed in the machining cavity of the lathe body 1. After the workpiece is processed, it is sent back to the hopper 11 through the X-axis moving module 31, the Y-axis moving module 32, and the Z-axis moving module 33. This process is repeated.

[0029] A further solution: The sunroof assembly 2 includes a feed sunroof 21 opened on the upper end of the lathe body 1. A rodless cylinder 22 is provided on the rear side of the feed sunroof 21. A connecting frame 23 is provided on the moving end of the rodless cylinder 22. A sunroof panel body 24 is provided on the side of the connecting frame 23 near the feed sunroof 21.

[0030] The rodless cylinder 22 drives the main body 24 of the skylight plate to move left and right through the connecting frame 23, thereby opening and closing the feeding skylight 21. This facilitates the robot arm to enter the machining cavity of the lathe body 1. During machining, the feeding skylight 21 is closed to prevent foreign objects from entering and improve safety.

[0031] A further solution: Limiting blocks 25 are respectively set at both ends between the rodless cylinder 22 and the sunroof panel body 24, and the limiting blocks 25 and the connecting frame 23 limit each other.

[0032] The movement of the connecting frame 23 can be limited, thereby facilitating the stable opening and closing of the feed skylight 21 by the skylight body 24.

[0033] A further solution: Induction switches 26 are installed on both sides of the rodless cylinder 22.

[0034] The system can sense and locate the movement of the connecting frame 23. When the sensor switch 26 detects a moving object, the rodless cylinder 22 stops working, ensuring that the main body of the skylight plate 24 can stably switch the feed skylight 21.

[0035] A further solution: Slide rails 27 are provided on the front and rear sides of the main body 24 of the sunroof panel.

[0036] It facilitates the movement of the main body 24 of the skylight panel on the feeding skylight 21, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the main body 24 of the skylight panel.

[0037] A further solution: An electrical control cabinet 4 is provided on one side of the lathe body 1. Inside the electrical control cabinet 4 is a controller element 41 that is electrically connected to the gantry robot assembly 3 and the skylight assembly 2. Two cooling fans 42 are also provided on one side of the electrical control cabinet 4, and the two cooling fans 42 are arranged in a one-in-one-out structure.

[0038] The controller component 41 can achieve automated operation with the gantry robot assembly 3 and the skylight assembly 2 to realize intelligent processing; the two cooling fans 41 with one air inlet and one air outlet can effectively dissipate heat from the electrical control cabinet 4 and extend its service life.

[0039] The circuits, electronic components, and control modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0040] It should also be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0041] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
