Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical processing equipment technology, specifically a motion mounting guide rail for milling machine equipment. Background Technology
[0002] The motion mounting guide rail of the milling machine is mainly used for high-precision motion control of the milling machine, providing stable and reliable mechanical support and guidance for complex machining tasks, enabling the equipment to achieve efficient and precise machining operations under multi-degree-of-freedom conditions.
[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a quick-installation device for top-drive guide rails (publication number CN105856145B). This design achieves rapid installation through the cooperation of outer and inner guide rails and a ratchet limiting and guiding device. However, in practical applications, this structure is insufficient in optimizing the uniformity of force during guide rail movement, which may lead to uneven wear after long-term operation, thus affecting machining accuracy and service life. Furthermore, this design has limited stability performance in multi-degree-of-freedom motion scenarios, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern industry for high-precision, multi-dimensional machining.
[0004] A Chinese patent also discloses a direct-drive, high-precision, high-rigidity, closed-loop hydrostatic guide rail (publication number CN110757176B). This design achieves high-precision motion control through linear motor drive and an oil cushion throttle. While it significantly improves the motion accuracy and rigidity of the guide rail, the complex lubrication system and assembly requirements increase manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty. Furthermore, this design is more suitable for static or low-speed motion scenarios; for milling machines with high-speed dynamic adjustment requirements, its response speed may not fully adapt to actual machining needs.
[0005] Therefore, based on the above retrieval and analysis of existing technologies, traditional guide rail design has certain limitations in balancing high precision, high stability and fast response in complex processing environments. There is an urgent need for a more intelligent, efficient and adaptable solution to meet the needs of modern industry. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0026] This utility model relates to a motion mounting guide rail for milling machine equipment, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a support base 1, a guide module 2, an adjustment assembly 3, balancing feet 4, and sensing units 5. The support base 1 serves as the load-bearing foundation for the entire device. Its upper surface is used to fix the guide module 2, while multiple balancing feet 4 are provided at the bottom to enhance overall stability. Multiple sensing units 5 are arranged on the side walls of the guide module 2. The sensing units 5 are connected to an external control system via signal lines to achieve real-time monitoring of the operating status.
[0027] The specific structure of guide module 2 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it consists of an outer frame 6 and an inner slider 7. The inner wall of the outer frame 6 is machined with multiple annularly distributed ball grooves 8, each containing a rolling element 9. The outer wall of the rolling element 9 contacts the outer wall of the inner slider 7, effectively reducing friction between them. The bottom of the inner slider 7 has multiple through holes, each housing an elastic element 10. One end of the elastic element 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner slider 7 by welding, while the other end contacts the bottom of the outer frame 6. The elastic element 10 is a helical spring with a damping layer made of rubber in its center to absorb high-frequency vibration energy. Furthermore, both ends of the elastic element 10 have fixing plates, which are welded to the inner slider 7 and the outer frame 6 to ensure that they do not loosen or shift during operation.
[0028] The structure of adjustment component 3 is as follows Figure 3As shown, it includes an adjusting rod 11 and a drive gear 12. The adjusting rod 11 passes through the side wall of the outer frame 6 and is connected to the outer frame 6 via a bearing. The outer wall of the adjusting rod 11 is machined with a threaded structure. The drive gear 12 is sleeved on one end of the adjusting rod 11 and is fixedly connected to the adjusting rod 11 via a keyway. The drive gear 12 meshes with an external power device to transmit driving force. The other end of the adjusting rod 11 is provided with a clamping block 13. The outer wall of the clamping block 13 is machined with multiple protrusions. These protrusions increase the friction between the clamping block 13 and the inner slider 7, thereby preventing slippage during operation. When the external power device drives the drive gear 12 to rotate, the adjusting rod 11 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the clamping block 13 to move, achieving precise adjustment of the position of the inner slider 7.
[0029] The structure of the balance leg 4 is as follows Figure 4 As shown, it includes a support cylinder 14 and a telescopic rod 15. The top end of the support cylinder 14 is connected to the support base 1 via threads. An anti-slip pad 16 is installed at the bottom end of the telescopic rod 15. The anti-slip pad 16 is made of a polymer material with a high coefficient of friction, which improves contact stability with the ground. The outer wall of the telescopic rod 15 is engraved with scale markings for precise control of its extension length. A locking bolt 17 is provided on the side wall of the support cylinder 14. One end of the locking bolt 17 passes through the support cylinder 14 and contacts the telescopic rod 15 to fix its position. In actual use, the operator can adjust the extension length of the telescopic rod 15 by rotating it according to ground conditions and installation requirements, and then fix it using the locking bolt 17, thereby ensuring the levelness and stability of the entire device.
[0030] The arrangement of sensing unit 5 is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes a pressure sensor 18 and a displacement sensor 19. The pressure sensor 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer frame 6 and is used to detect the contact pressure between the rolling element 9 and the inner slider 7. The displacement sensor 19 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the inner slider 7 and is used to detect the displacement of the inner slider 7. The pressure sensor 18 and the displacement sensor 19 are connected to an external controller via signal lines. The external controller analyzes and processes the data fed back by the sensors. During actual operation, the pressure sensor 18 monitors the changes in the contact pressure between the rolling element 9 and the inner slider 7 in real time, while the displacement sensor 19 records the displacement of the inner slider 7. The external controller combines the feedback data from both sensors to determine whether the operating status of the guide module 2 is normal and to promptly detect any abnormalities.
[0031] In practical applications, the operation of this invention is as follows: First, the support base 1 is installed on the working platform of the milling machine, and the height of the balance support 4 is adjusted to keep the entire device horizontal. Then, the guide module 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support base 1, and the position of the inner slider 7 is initially adjusted using the adjustment component 3 to ensure it is in a suitable working position. During operation, the inner slider 7 slides within the outer frame 6, and the rolling element 9 contacts the outer wall of the inner slider 7, reducing friction and improving operating accuracy. Simultaneously, the elastic element 10 absorbs vibration energy during operation, reducing uneven wear caused by vibration. The sensing unit 5 monitors the operating status of the guide module 2 in real time, the pressure sensor 18 detects the contact pressure between the rolling element 9 and the inner slider 7, the displacement sensor 19 detects the displacement of the inner slider 7, and the external controller analyzes and processes the data from the sensors to promptly detect and resolve any operational anomalies. When it is necessary to fine-tune the position of the inner slider 7, the external power device is activated, the gear 12 drives the adjusting rod 11 to rotate, and the adjusting rod 11 pushes the clamping block 13 to move, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the position of the inner slider 7.
[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the specific implementation principle of this utility model is further explained below in conjunction with a specific application scenario.
[0033] In practical applications, when a milling machine requires high-precision machining, the support base 1 is first installed on the milling machine's work platform. The extension length of the telescopic rod 15 in the balance support leg 4 is adjusted by rotating it to adapt to ground conditions, and the position is fixed using the locking bolt 17, ensuring the entire device is level. During this process, the polymer material properties of the anti-slip pad 16 provide excellent contact stability, preventing device misalignment due to uneven ground.
[0034] Subsequently, the guide module 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support base 1. When the inner slider 7 slides within the outer frame 6, the rolling element 9 contacts the outer wall of the inner slider 7, forming rolling friction, which significantly reduces the friction between the two. At the same time, the elastic element 10 absorbs the high-frequency vibration energy generated during operation through its helical spring structure and the rubber damping layer in the middle. This design not only improves the running accuracy but also reduces the problem of uneven wear caused by vibration, thereby extending the service life of the guide rail.
[0035] Before the processing task begins, the position of the inner slider 7 is initially adjusted using the adjusting component 3. An external power unit drives the gear 12 to rotate, which in turn rotates the adjusting rod 11, thus moving the clamping block 13. The protrusions on the outer wall of the clamping block 13 increase the friction between it and the inner slider 7, preventing slippage during operation. Precise control of the adjusting rod 11 allows for fine-tuning of the position of the inner slider 7, ensuring it is in optimal working condition.
[0036] During operation, the sensing unit 5 monitors the status of the guide module 2 in real time. The pressure sensor 18 detects changes in the contact pressure between the rolling element 9 and the inner slider 7, while the displacement sensor 19 records the displacement of the inner slider 7. This data is transmitted to an external controller via signal lines, which determines whether the operation is normal based on the feedback information. For example, if the pressure sensor 18 detects an abnormally high contact pressure, it may indicate localized wear on the rolling element 9 or the inner slider 7; while the data from the displacement sensor 19 can be used to calibrate the actual positional deviation of the inner slider 7. Once an abnormality is detected, the external controller will issue an alarm or automatically adjust relevant parameters to ensure the stability and accuracy of the machining process.
[0037] Furthermore, in complex machining environments, if frequent switching of machining paths or adjustment of machining angles is required, the levelness of the device can be recalibrated by adjusting the height of the balance support 4. The scale markings on the telescopic rod 15 provide operators with a precise height reference, while the locking bolt 17 ensures that the adjusted height will not loosen. This design allows the present invention to adapt to installation requirements under various ground conditions while meeting the requirements for high-speed dynamic adjustment.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
