[0023] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0024] A dual-channel gantry frame structure machine tool tool magazine door protection system, including
[0025] The machine tool body 1 has a side plate 2 on it. The inner side of the side plate 2 is a machining cavity 21 and the outer side is a tool changing cavity 22. The side plate 2 has a window 3 that connects the machining cavity 21 and the tool changing cavity 22.
[0026] Tool magazine 4, which is located in the tool changing chamber 22;
[0027] A protective mechanism 5 is provided on the outside of the side plate 2; the protective mechanism 5 includes a protective door 51 and a pushing component 52, the pushing component 52 being used to push the protective door 51 horizontally to cover the window 3 to separate the processing chamber 21 and the tool changing chamber 22; or to push the protective door 51 horizontally to move away from the window 3 to connect the processing chamber 21 and the tool changing chamber 22.
[0028] This invention provides a dual-channel gantry frame structure machine tool tool magazine door protection system. The protective door, driven by a push assembly, can automatically open and close the passage between the machining chamber and the tool changing chamber. During non-tool changing periods, the protective door tightly covers the window, effectively preventing contaminants such as chips and coolant generated during machining from entering the tool changing chamber, thus protecting the cleanliness and precision of the tool magazine and tools. During tool changing, the protective door automatically opens, ensuring smooth and unobstructed tool changing.
[0029] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the protective door 51 includes a door panel 511, a crossbar 512 disposed on the outer side of the door panel 511, and a connecting seat 513 disposed on the crossbar 512. By separating the load-bearing structure from the sealing structure, the door panel primarily serves as a sealing and partitioning function, while the crossbar and connecting seat constitute a rigid frame connected to the pushing assembly. This design allows the pushing force to be evenly transmitted to the door panel through the robust crossbar, avoiding deformation or damage to the door panel itself that might occur due to direct bearing of the driving force. This ensures the long-term stability and flatness of the protective door, while the modular design also facilitates manufacturing, installation, and maintenance.
[0030] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the door panel 511 includes a main body 514 and baffles 515 disposed around the left, lower, and right sides of the main body 514. The baffles help to strengthen the main body and prevent bending deformation.
[0031] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, a rolling bearing 516 is provided on the lower side of the flange 515. The rolling bearing can roll on the machine tool body, supporting the movement of the door panel, making the movement of the protective door easier and smoother, and significantly reducing the driving force and operating noise required for the pushing components. At the same time, the bearing support avoids direct friction between the lower edge of the door panel and the mounting base surface, greatly reducing wear between the two and improving the service life and motion accuracy of the entire protective mechanism.
[0032] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the pushing assembly 52 includes a front seat 521 and a rear seat 522, a guide post 523 and a cylinder 524 disposed between the front seat 521 and the rear seat 522, and a slider 525 connected to the cylinder 524 and sliding in cooperation with the guide post 523. Using a cylinder as the power source provides a strong and stable linear driving force with a fast response speed, making it very suitable for this type of linear motion with frequent starts and stops. The cooperation between the guide post and the slider constitutes a high-precision guiding mechanism, ensuring that the slider can only move along a strict linear trajectory, completely eliminating the risk of shaking and jamming during movement, ensuring that the protective door can accurately reach the predetermined opening and closing position, and guaranteeing reliable operation.
[0033] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the front seat 521 and the rear seat 522 are provided with limiters 53. The limiters provide mechanical hard-limit protection for the opening and closing stroke of the protective door. They can precisely set the final position of the protective door, preventing overshooting due to cylinder or sensor malfunction, thereby avoiding the protective door from impacting the machine tool structure or detaching from the guide rail, greatly enhancing the safety and reliability of the system.
[0034] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the front seat 521 and the rear seat 522 are provided with a horizontal rail 6 connecting them. The horizontal rail 6 has a T-slot 61, and position sensors 62 embedded in the T-slots 61 are located at both ends of the horizontal rail 6. The T-slot design allows the position sensors to flexibly adjust their installation position on the horizontal rail according to actual needs, thereby enabling precise detection and definition of different travel points of the protective door (such as fully open and fully closed positions). This allows the protective system to easily adapt to machine tool windows of different sizes, exhibiting strong versatility. The electrical signals provided by the sensors are crucial for interlocking control with the machine tool CNC system, ensuring the accurate execution of automated processes.
[0035] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the slider 525 is provided with a support rod 54 connected to the connecting seat 513. The support rod provides a stable connection point between the slider of the pushing assembly and the connecting seat of the protective door. This design concentrates the driving force and supporting force at the part with the strongest rigidity, ensuring that the force transmission path is direct and efficient. At the same time, it also reserves space for adjustment and buffering between the protective door and the pushing assembly, reducing the requirements for machining and assembly precision, and facilitating installation, debugging, maintenance, and replacement.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this application. Any other embodiments whose principles and basic structures are the same as or similar to those of this application are within the protection scope of this application.
