[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machine tool protective cover technology, and in particular to a CNC machine tool protective cover structure. Background Technology

[0002] CNC machine tools are high-precision automated machining equipment controlled by computer digital information. Their core feature lies in the automated machining of complex parts through a machining program, offering advantages such as high flexibility, high precision, and high reliability. An existing patent (publication number: CN222552971U) discloses a CNC machine tool with a chip-splash protection mechanism. This invention, by setting a baffle, can protect against chips generated during machining, preventing accidents caused by chip splashing and improving production safety. However, in practical applications, vertical machining centers typically have XY linear guides, allowing the worktable to move along the guides. The aforementioned technical solution cannot meet the requirement of the worktable moving along the guides, which is not conducive to practical application. Therefore, we propose a protective cover structure for CNC machine tools. Utility Model Content

[0011] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a protective cover, mounting plate, pulley block, and slide rail, the protective cover moves along the mounting plate as the machine tool table moves. The cooperation between the pulley block and slide rail allows the protective cover to meet the movement requirements of the worktable. Compared with existing technologies, this improves the flexibility of the protective cover, making it suitable for machine tools with multi-level guide rails and expanding its application range.

[0015] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a CNC machine tool protective cover structure, including a protective cover 1 that surrounds the machine tool on three sides. The bottom front end of the protective cover 1 is provided with a mounting plate 5 that is connected to the machine tool worktable. The two ends of the mounting plate 5 are connected to the ends of the first-level guide rail of the machine tool by fasteners. The length of the mounting plate 5 is greater than that of the first-level guide rail, so that the two ends of the mounting plate 5 extend beyond the first-level guide rail. The bottom end of the protective cover 1 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 5, and the protective cover 1 is connected to the machine tool worktable by fasteners, so that the protective cover 1 moves together with the worktable. Furthermore, pulley blocks 7 are evenly installed at the bottom front of the protective cover 1. The pulley blocks 7 are arranged horizontally, and a slide rail 6 matching the pulley blocks 7 is fixed on the mounting plate 5. The two ends of the slide rail 6 are sealed to prevent the pulley blocks 7 from detaching from the slide rail 6 and to improve the stability of the operation. Specifically, by setting up a protective cover 1, a mounting plate 5, a pulley block 7, and a slide rail 6, the protective cover 1 moves along the mounting plate 5 as the machine tool table moves. The cooperation between the pulley block 7 and the slide rail 6 allows the protective cover 1 to meet the movement requirements of the table. Compared with the existing technology, this improves the flexibility of the protective cover 1, makes it suitable for machine tools with multi-level guide rails, and expands its application range.

[0017] Furthermore, the inner walls of the protective cover 1 on three sides are equipped with electromagnetic adsorption mechanisms. The electromagnetic adsorption mechanism includes an electromagnet 9 that is detachably connected to the inner wall of the protective cover 1. The energized electromagnet 9 has magnetism and can adsorb iron filings generated during the machine tool processing, thereby preliminarily collecting the iron filings. The bottom of the protective cover 1 is equipped with a collection box 11. The width of the collection box 11 is much larger than the width of the electromagnet 9. When the electromagnet 9 is de-energized, the iron filings adsorbed on it will automatically fall into the collection box 11, making it easy to collect the iron filings. Furthermore, the inner wall of the protective cover 1 is equipped with a pair of support plates 8, which are vertically arranged. An electromagnet 9 is located between adjacent support plates 8. A carrier plate 10 is fixed between the bottom ends of adjacent support plates 8. A collection box 11 is placed on the carrier plate 10. The carrier plate 10 and the collection box 11 are connected by magnetic attraction. Magnetic blocks with opposite magnetic properties are fixed on the contact surfaces of the carrier plate 10 and the collection box 11 respectively. The magnetic attraction force is used to make the carrier plate 10 and the collection box 11 attract and fix them, which makes it easy to disassemble the collection box 11. Specifically, by setting up an electromagnetic adsorption mechanism, the electromagnet 9 is used to adsorb the iron filings that splash towards the protective cover 1, and the iron filings are initially collected. Then, with the help of the collection box 11, the iron filings are concentrated after the electromagnet 9 is de-energized, which is convenient to use.

[0018] Furthermore, the support plate 8 is magnetically connected to the electromagnet 9; the surface of the support plate 8 is coated with a magnetic coating that is opposite to the magnetism of the electromagnet 9, making it easy to install and remove the electromagnet 9.

[0019] Furthermore, the support plate 8 is threaded with hooks 12 for suspending electromagnets 9. The end of the electromagnet 9 is provided with a socket that matches the hooks 12. The support plate 8 is provided with screw holes and grooves that connect to the hooks 12. The hooks 12 are evenly arranged vertically.

[0020] Furthermore, the inner wall of the protective cover 1 is also fixed with a cable management groove 13 with an opening at the top. The side wall of the cable management groove 13 is provided with a wire hole 14. The cable of the electromagnet 9 is laid out from the top opening of the cable management groove 13 through the wire hole 14, so that the cable is stored in the cable management groove 13 and avoids the cable from getting tangled on the machine tool. Furthermore, an auxiliary baffle 2 is provided on the upper front side of the protective cover 1. A monitoring camera 15 is installed on the inner wall of the auxiliary baffle 2. The monitoring camera 15 is a monitoring camera with a pan-tilt head. A transparent protective shell 16 is provided outside the monitoring camera 15. The transparent protective shell 16 is made of tempered glass, so that the monitoring camera 15 can clearly record the working status of the machine tool and facilitate the monitoring by the staff. The auxiliary baffle 2 is integrally formed with connecting lugs 3 at both ends. The connecting lugs 3 are connected to the protective cover 1 by adjusting bolts 4. Specifically, by setting up an auxiliary baffle 2, a monitoring camera 15, and a transparent protective shell 16, the monitoring camera 15 records the working status of the machine tool so that the staff can monitor it. The transparent protective shell 16 protects the monitoring camera 15 and prevents it from being damaged.

[0021] 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.
