Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, and in particular to an axial motion module and machining equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In desktop laser processing equipment, 3D printers and other processing equipment, an axial motion module is required to enable the sliding of processing modules such as laser heads and print heads. In related technologies, optical axes, sliders and other structures need to be assembled sequentially in the processing equipment, which is inconvenient to install. Furthermore, if assembly errors occur, causing deviations in the sliding direction of the optical axis and slider, or if there are multiple optical axes and the parallelism between the optical axes is poor due to assembly errors, the slider will not slide smoothly, which can easily lead to poor production and processing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an axial motion module and processing equipment, which aims to improve the sliding stability of the sliding components in the axial motion module.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the axial motion module proposed in this utility model includes:

[0005] The fixed bracket includes two fixed seats spaced apart from each other.

[0006] An optical axis, the two ends of which are respectively fixed to the two fixing seats; and

[0007] A sliding assembly, comprising a connected moving block and a connector, wherein the connector is made of plastic and is slidably fitted onto the optical axis.

[0008] In one embodiment, the connector is configured as a sleeve, and the side wall of the sleeve is provided with a groove. The groove is provided through both ends along the length direction of the sleeve so that the sleeve can be elastically deformed.

[0009] In one embodiment, the connector is configured as a claw, the claw including two elastic arms, one end of the two elastic arms being connected, and the other end being spaced apart circumferentially along the optical axis, forming a snap-fit ​​space with an opening on one side between the two elastic arms;

[0010] The central angle of the opening does not exceed 180°, the optical axis is clamped in the snap-fit ​​space, and can enter and exit the snap-fit ​​space from the opening.

[0011] In one embodiment, the free end of the elastic arm is provided with a hook that bends toward the snap-fit ​​space and abuts against the optical axis.

[0012] In one embodiment, the axial motion module includes two optical axes, and the sliding component includes two connectors, each connector being sleeved on one of the optical axes.

[0013] In one embodiment, when the connector is configured as a claw, the openings of the two claws face the same direction; or, the openings of the two claws face an angle.

[0014] In one embodiment, the moving block is made of plastic.

[0015] And / or, the axial motion module further includes a drive component connected to the sliding component for driving the sliding component to slide along the optical axis;

[0016] And / or, the moving block is provided with a mounting surface for mounting a processing module, and a fixing structure is provided on the side of the moving block opposite to the mounting surface, the fixing structure being used to connect a drive assembly;

[0017] And / or, the optical axis is made of metal;

[0018] And / or, the fixing bracket is made of metal.

[0019] This application also proposes a processing apparatus, comprising:

[0020] A machine tool, wherein the machine tool is provided with a processing area;

[0021] As described in any of the foregoing embodiments, the axial motion module has a mounting base installed on the machine tool; and

[0022] A processing module is connected to the sliding component of the axial motion module and is located above the processing area.

[0023] In one embodiment, the machine tool is provided with two mounting brackets arranged opposite to each other, and the mounting brackets are provided with limiting grooves. The two fixed seats of the axial motion module are respectively embedded in the two limiting grooves.

[0024] And / or, the processing equipment is provided with two sets of axial motion modules, the two sets of axial motion modules are respectively located on opposite sides of the processing area, and the two ends of the processing module are respectively connected to the sliding components of the two sets of axial motion modules;

[0025] And / or, the processing equipment further includes a slide rail, which is set at an angle to the optical axis of the axial motion module, and the fixed seat is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0026] In one embodiment, when the processing equipment is provided with two sets of the axial motion modules, the processing equipment further includes a transmission rod, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the sliding components of the two sets of the axial motion modules.

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model is to set a fixed bracket in the axial motion module and fix the two ends of the optical axis to the two fixed seats of the fixed bracket, so that the axial motion module is modularly set as a whole. When the axial motion module is used in processing equipment, the axial motion module can be installed and adjusted on the outside of the machine tool and then installed into the machine tool as a whole.

[0028] Furthermore, the connector in the sliding assembly that connects to the optical axis is made of plastic. The toughness of the plastic material helps to mitigate the assembly and machining tolerances of the various parts of the axial motion module, resulting in a better fit between the sliding assembly and the optical axis. This reduces the risk of uneven sliding due to assembly and machining tolerances, and improves the stability of the sliding assembly during sliding. At the same time, the plastic material also reduces the weight of the sliding assembly, lowering the motion load and further contributing to the stability of the sliding process.

[0042] This utility model proposes an axial motion module 100.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the axial motion module 100 includes a fixed bracket 10, an optical axis 20, and a sliding component 30. The fixed bracket 10 includes two fixed seats 11 spaced apart. The two ends of the optical axis 20 are respectively fixed to the two fixed seats 11. The sliding component 30 includes a motion block 31 and a connector 32 connected to each other. The connector 32 is made of plastic and is slidably sleeved on the optical axis 20.

[0044] The fixed bracket 10 serves as the supporting foundation for the axial motion module 100 and includes two opposing fixed seats 11. These two fixed seats 11 can be separate, independent structures, or they can be connected as a whole. The two ends of the optical shaft 20 are respectively fixed to the two fixed seats 11. A sliding component 30 is slidably mounted on the optical shaft 20, allowing the axial motion module 100 to be modularly configured. When the axial motion module 100 is applied to the processing equipment 1000, it can be installed and adjusted outside the machine base 200 of the processing equipment 100 before being installed as a whole into the machine base 200. Connecting the fixed bracket 10 to the machine base 200 of the processing equipment 100 eliminates the limitation on the installation space of the machine base 200 during adjustment of the axial motion module 100, and also allows the axial motion module 100 to be completely removed from the machine base 200, improving the convenience of disassembly, assembly, and adjustment of the axial motion module 100 within the processing equipment 1000.

[0045] In this embodiment, the connector 32 connecting the sliding assembly 30 to the optical axis 20 is made of plastic. The toughness of the plastic material neutralizes the assembly and machining tolerances of the various parts of the axial motion module 100, thereby ensuring a better fit between the sliding assembly 30 and the optical axis 20. This reduces the risk of uneven sliding due to assembly and machining tolerances, and improves the stability of the sliding assembly 30 during sliding. Simultaneously, the plastic material reduces the weight of the sliding assembly 30, lowering the motion load and further improving the stability of the sliding process. Optionally, the connector 32 can be a tubular structure. The tubular structure can be a circumferentially closed loop structure, or, as in the following embodiment, an open loop structure with a slot 3211. The connector 32 can also be a claw 322 as in the following embodiment; specific implementation methods are not limited here.

[0046] Optionally, the moving block 31 can also be made of plastic, thereby significantly reducing the overall weight of the sliding assembly 30, which helps to reduce the overall motion load and improve the stability of the sliding assembly 30 during the sliding process. The moving block 31 can also be made of metal, giving the sliding assembly 30 higher structural strength and fire resistance.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the connector 32 is configured as a sleeve 321, and the side wall of the sleeve 321 is provided with a groove 3211. The groove 3211 is provided through both ends along the length direction of the sleeve 321 so that the sleeve 321 can be elastically deformed.

[0048] In this embodiment, the connector 32 is configured as an open-loop sleeve 321, and the side wall of the sleeve 321 is provided with a slot 3211 extending along its length. With this configuration, the sleeve 321 can undergo elastic deformation, causing the diameter of the sleeve 321 to change. This can accommodate manufacturing errors. For example, if the cross-sectional size of the optical axis 20 is processed to be too large or the size of the sleeve 321 is processed to be too small, the sleeve 321 can be stretched open and stably clamped onto the optical axis 20. This can prevent the sliding component 30 from shaking relative to the optical axis 20, thereby improving the stability of the sliding component 30 relative to the optical axis 20.

[0049] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the connector 32 is configured as a claw 322, which includes two elastic arms 3221. One end of the two elastic arms 3221 is connected, and the other end is spaced apart along the circumference of the optical axis 20. A snap-fit ​​space 3223 with an opening 3224 on one side is formed between the two elastic arms 3221. The central angle of the opening 3224 does not exceed 180°. The optical axis 20 is clamped in the snap-fit ​​space 3223 and can enter and exit the snap-fit ​​space 3223 from the opening 3224.

[0050] In this embodiment, the connector 32 is configured as a claw 322. The claw 322 includes two connected elastic arms 3221, forming a locking space 3223 between the two elastic arms 3221. A large opening 3224 is formed between the free ends of the two elastic arms 3221. The optical axis 20 can enter and exit the locking space 3223 through the opening 3224. The central angle of the opening 3224 does not exceed 180° and can be set to any value of 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, 140°, 150°, 160°, 170°, 180° or not exceeding 180°, so that the central angle of the opening 3224 does not exceed 180°, so that the claw 322 can better clamp the optical axis 20. The two elastic arms 3221 can open or close relative to each other to adjust the size of the opening 3224 of the locking space 3223. For example, when the optical axis 20 passes through the opening 3224, the two elastic arms 3221 can be opened to enlarge the opening 3224. After the optical axis 20 enters the locking space 3223, the two elastic arms 3221 can close together to narrow the opening 3224, preventing the optical axis 20 from exiting. This configuration eliminates the need to attach the connector 32 from the end of the optical axis 20 to the optical axis 20, allowing the sliding component 30 to be assembled and disassembled while the optical axis 20 is mounted on the fixed bracket 10, thus improving ease of use.

[0051] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the free end of the elastic arm 3221 is provided with a hook 3222 that bends toward the snap-fit ​​space 3223 and abuts against the optical axis 20.

[0052] In this embodiment, a hook 3222 is provided at the end of the elastic arm 3221 of the claw 322. The hook 3222 is bent toward the snap-fit ​​space 3223, so that when the claw 322 clamps the optical axis 20, the hook 3222 can be inserted to press against the optical axis 20, thereby improving the connection strength between the connector 32 and the optical axis 20, making the sliding component 30 stably connected to the optical axis 20, and improving the stability of the sliding component 30 sliding along the optical axis 20.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the axial motion module 100 includes two optical axes 20, and the sliding component 30 includes two connectors 32, each connector 32 being sleeved on one optical axis 20.

[0054] In this embodiment, the axial motion module 100 can be provided with at least two optical axes 20. The two optical axes 20 can better limit the sliding component 30, which can improve the stability of the sliding component 30 during the sliding process and prevent the sliding component 30 from rotating around the optical axes 20. Both optical axes 20 are connected to the fixed bracket 10, and the fixed bracket 10 can limit the two optical axes 20 to ensure the parallelism between the two optical axes 20.

[0055] Optionally, the moving block 31 has a mounting surface 311 for mounting the laser head. The two connecting pieces 32 provided on the sliding assembly 30 can both be provided on the side surface of the moving block 31 facing away from the mounting surface 311, or the two connecting pieces 32 can be provided at the two ends of the moving block 31 facing away from each other along the arrangement direction of the two optical axes 20; or one of the connecting pieces 32 can be provided on the side of the moving block 31 facing away from the mounting surface 311, and the other connecting piece 32 can be provided at one end of the moving block 31 in the arrangement direction of the two optical axes 20. There is no limitation here.

[0056] Optionally, the two connectors 32 provided on the sliding component 30 can be configured in the same form, such as both being configured as sleeves 321 or claws 322; or the two connectors 32 can be configured in different forms, such as one being configured as a sleeve 321 and the other as a claw 322.

[0057] In some embodiments, when the connector 32 is configured as a claw 322, the openings 3224 of the two claws 322 can face the same direction to facilitate installation. Alternatively, the openings 3224 of the two claws 322 can be angled to limit movement in different directions, thereby improving installation stability.

[0058] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the opening 3224 of one of the claws 322 is oriented in the same direction as the arrangement of the two optical axes 20, while the opening 3224 of the other claw 322 is oriented at an angle to the arrangement of the two optical axes 20.

[0059] In this embodiment, both connectors 32 of the sliding component 30 are configured as claws 322, and the specific structure of the claws 322 is as described in the previous embodiment. The openings 3224 of the two claws 322 are oriented in different directions. The opening 3224 of one claw is oriented in the same direction as the arrangement of the two optical axes 20. In this case, the opening 3224 of the claw 322 can be oriented towards or away from the other claw 322. The opening 3224 of the other claw 322 is oriented at an angle to the arrangement of the two optical axes 20.

[0060] Specifically, the moving block 31 has a mounting surface 311 for mounting the laser head. Taking the example of two optical axes 20 arranged vertically along the height direction and two claws 322 both set on the side surface of the moving block 31 facing away from the mounting surface 311, the opening 3224 of the upper claw 322 can be set away from the moving block 31, and the opening 3224 of the lower claw 322 can be set away from the upper claw 322; alternatively, the opening 3224 of the upper claw 322 can be set towards the lower claw 322, and the opening 3224 of the lower claw 322 can be set away from the moving block 31. In this configuration, the sliding component 30 can be limited in different directions by two claws 322 with the optical axis 20. For example, when only a force perpendicular to the mounting surface 311 is applied, the claws 322 with openings 3224 facing the same direction as the two optical axes 20 will not detach from the optical axis 20. When an upward or downward force is applied, the claws 322 with openings 3224 intersecting the direction of the two optical axes 20 will not detach from the optical axis 20. This helps to improve the stability of the sliding component 30 installed on the optical axis 20 and reduces the risk of the sliding component 30 detaching from the optical axis 20 and falling off.

[0061] In one embodiment, the moving block 31 is made of plastic. This arrangement, where the entire sliding component 30 is made of plastic, helps to reduce the weight of the sliding component 30, thereby reducing the motion load, reducing the impact of inertial impact, improving the stability of the sliding process, and increasing the traction force when the driving component moves the sliding component 30.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the axial motion module 100 further includes a drive component connected to the sliding component 30 for driving the sliding component 30 to slide along the optical axis 20.

[0063] In this embodiment, the axial motion module 100 further includes a drive assembly for driving the sliding component 30 to slide. The drive assembly can be a motor lead screw assembly, with the lead screw parallel to the optical axis 20. The lead screw nut is connected to the moving block 31. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw nut to move along the axial direction of the lead screw, thereby causing the sliding component 30 to slide along the optical axis 20. The drive assembly can also be a synchronous belt assembly, with the two ends of the synchronous belt 40 respectively wound around the driving pulley and the driven pulley. The synchronous belt 40 is connected to the moving block 31 of the sliding block. The motor drives the driving pulley to rotate, thereby causing the synchronous belt 40 to move relative to the driving pulley and the driven pulley, thereby causing the sliding component 30 to slide along the optical axis 20. The drive assembly can also be a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder push assembly, a gear and rack transmission assembly, a worm gear transmission assembly, a motor connecting rod transmission assembly, etc., and is not limited here.

[0064] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the moving block 31 is provided with a mounting surface 311 for mounting the processing module, and a fixing structure 312 is provided on the side of the moving block 31 facing away from the mounting surface 311. The fixing structure 312 is used to connect the drive assembly.

[0065] In this embodiment, the drive component can be connected to the fixed structure 312 on the moving block 31. For example, when the drive component is set as a synchronous belt component, the synchronous belt 40 is connected to the fixed structure 312; when the drive component is set as a motor lead screw component, the lead screw nut is installed on the fixed structure 312. The moving block 31 is provided with a mounting surface 311 for mounting the processing module, and the fixed structure 312 is located on the side of the moving block 31 facing away from the mounting surface 311, which can avoid interference between the drive component and the processing module and improve space utilization.

[0066] In one embodiment, the optical axis 20 is made of metal. This design gives the optical axis 20 high structural strength, makes it less prone to bending and deformation, ensures the straightness of the optical axis 20, and also helps to improve the fire resistance of the optical axis 20.

[0067] In one embodiment, the fixing bracket 10 is made of metal. This design gives the fixing bracket 10 high structural strength, makes it less prone to damage, improves structural stability, and also helps to improve the fire resistance of the fixing bracket 10.

[0068] Please see Figure 5 The present invention also proposes a processing equipment 1000, which includes a machine base 200, an axial motion module 100, and a processing module. The specific structure of the axial motion module 100 is as described in the above embodiment. The machine base 200 is provided with a processing area 201. The fixed seat 11 of the axial motion module 100 is installed on the machine base 200. The processing module is connected to the sliding component 30 of the axial motion module 100 and is located above the processing area 201.

[0069] In this embodiment, the machine base 200 of the processing equipment 1000 serves as the supporting foundation of the processing equipment 1000 and is provided with a processing area 201 for placing workpieces. The processing module is mounted in the machine base 200 via an axial motion module 100 and is located above the processing area 201. It can be used to process the workpieces in the processing area 201. The axial motion module 100 can drive the processing module to slide, so that the processing module can move to different positions. Optionally, the processing module may include a laser head for performing at least one laser processing such as laser cutting, laser welding, laser marking, and laser engraving; the processing module may also include at least one of an inkjet print head, a 3D print head, and a tool module for performing processing operations such as inkjet printing, 3D printing, or cutting. In some embodiments, the processing module may include two or more of the following processing heads: a laser head, an inkjet print head, a 3D print head, and a tool module, which can perform various processing operations on the processing equipment 1000.

[0070] Optionally, the processing module may also include a moving component and a processing head. The processing head is slidably mounted on the guide rail of the moving component. The guide rail is connected to the sliding component 30 of the axial motion module 100 and is perpendicular to the optical axis 20 of the axial motion module 100. The guide rail can extend vertically or horizontally. With this configuration, the processing head can slide along the optical axis 20 with the moving component, and the processing head can also slide along the slide rail of the moving component, thereby increasing the degree of freedom of movement of the processing head. It can be moved to more areas for processing or the processing head can be raised and lowered.

[0071] Since the processing equipment 1000 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0072] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the machine base 200 is provided with two mounting brackets 300 arranged opposite to each other. The mounting brackets 300 are provided with limiting grooves 301, and the two fixed seats 11 of the axial motion module 100 are respectively embedded in the two limiting grooves 301.

[0073] In this embodiment, a mounting bracket 300 is provided in the processing equipment 1000, and the fixing seat 11 of the axial motion module 100 can be embedded in the limiting groove 301 of the mounting bracket 300, thereby ensuring the positional accuracy of the axial motion module 100 installed on the machine tool 200 and improving the installation stability.

[0074] Optionally, on the processing equipment 1000, two sets of axial motion modules 100 are provided, and two sets of mounting brackets 300 are provided for mounting the two axial motion modules 100 respectively. Alternatively, two limiting grooves 301 are provided on one mounting bracket 300 so that the fixed seats 11 of the two sets of axial motion modules 100 on the same side are embedded in the same mounting bracket 300.

[0075] In one embodiment, the processing equipment 1000 is provided with two sets of axial motion modules 100, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the processing area 201, and the two ends of the processing modules are respectively connected to the sliding components 30 of the two sets of axial motion modules 100.

[0076] In this embodiment, by setting up two sets of axial motion modules 100, the processing module can be supported at both ends, which helps to make the sliding process of the processing module more stable.

[0077] In one embodiment, with the processing equipment 1000 provided with two sets of axial motion modules 100, the processing equipment 1000 further includes a transmission rod, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the sliding components 30 of the two sets of axial motion modules 100.

[0078] This configuration allows the transmission rod to keep the sliding of the two sliding components 30 synchronized, thus avoiding problems such as jamming or stuck sliding of the processing module. In addition, when each axial motion module 100 is equipped with only one optical axis 20, the transmission rod can be used to limit the movement of the two sliding components 30, preventing the sliding components 30 from rotating around the optical axis 20 and causing misalignment.

[0079] Optionally, a drive component can be set in only one set of axial motion modules 100. The drive component drives the corresponding sliding component 30 to slide, thereby driving the sliding component 30 on another set of axial motion modules 100 to slide synchronously through the transmission rod, reducing the number of components in the processing equipment 1000 and improving the ease of installation.

[0080] In one embodiment, the processing equipment 1000 further includes a slide rail, which is disposed on the machine base 200 and is set at an angle to the optical axis 20 of the axial motion module 100. The fixed base 11 is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0081] In this embodiment, the slide rail is provided on the machine base 200 and extends horizontally, so that the slide rail is set at an angle with the optical axis 20, so that the axial motion module 100 can slide along the slide rail. At this time, the processing module can slide on the axial motion module 100 or slide along the slide rail with the axial motion module 100, thereby improving the degree of freedom of movement of the processing module and increasing the range of movement, so that it can be moved to more areas for processing.

[0082] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
