[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a multi-Z-axis metalworking machine. Specifically, the multi-Z-axis metalworking machine includes a base 10, a processing platform 20, a processing mechanism 30, a planar tool magazine 40, a tool replacement platform 50, and a tool replacement robot 60. A base support frame 101 is provided below the base 10, and an electrical box 102 is provided on one side of the base 10 and the base support frame 101. The electrical components in the electrical box 102 control the multi-Z-axis metalworking machine. In this embodiment, the processing platform 20 and the tool replacement platform 50 are both slidably mounted on the base 10. The specific structure for achieving this sliding will be further described below. Figure 2 As shown, the planar tool magazine 40 is located on one side of the tool replacement platform 50, so that the tool replacement platform 50 is located between the machining platform 20 and the planar tool magazine 40. The planar tool magazine 40 is used to place multiple machining tools.

[0041] Further, continue to refer to Figure 2As shown, the tool changing robot 60 is mounted on the base 10 and located above the tool magazine of the platform. The tool changing robot 60 is used to transfer the machining tools in the planar tool magazine 40 to the tool changing platform 50. The machining mechanism 30 is mounted above the machining platform 20. The machining mechanism 30 includes multiple Z-axis modules 301, which are used to machine the workpieces on the machining platform 20.

[0042] Through the above structure, the tool changing robot 60 can transfer the machining tools on the planar tool magazine 40 to the tool changing platform 50. The tool changing platform 50 can slide on the base 10. After sliding under the Z-axis module 301, the Z-axis module 301 can place the tool to be replaced onto the tool changing platform 50, and then clamp the machining tool to be replaced, thereby completing the replacement of the machining tool. Therefore, the multi-Z-axis hardware processing machine of this utility model can realize the automated replacement of machining tools. Compared with the manual replacement of machining tools, it improves the replacement efficiency of machining tools and enhances the processing efficiency of hardware processing machine tools. It should be noted that the Z-axis module 301 includes a spindle whose tightness can be controlled. When the spindle is loosened, the machining tool is not subject to the clamping force of the spindle and falls onto the tool changing platform 50 under the action of gravity. When a new machining tool is inserted into the spindle and the spindle clamps, the replacement of the machining tool is completed. Since this part of the principle is a relatively common technical solution in the prior art, its structure and corresponding principle will not be explained in more detail in this embodiment. Furthermore, it should be noted that the machining mechanism 30 can drive the Z-axis module 301 to translate in the X-axis direction, and the Z-axis module 301 can drive its spindle to move in the Z-axis direction. This part of the structure is also a relatively common technical solution in the prior art. Similarly, in this embodiment, its structure and corresponding principle will not be explained in more detail.

[0043] In addition, in the above embodiments, the machining mechanism 30 includes four Z-axis modules 301 arranged side by side. Correspondingly, four new machining tools can be placed on the tool replacement platform 50 at the same time. Therefore, the machining tools of the four Z-axis modules 301 can be replaced at the same time, and the efficiency of replacing machining tools is higher. At the same time, it can meet the needs of different machining processes. For example, after the drilling process, it can be replaced with a grinding tool to achieve grinding of the workpiece.

[0044] Reference Figures 3 to 5As shown, a Y-axis mechanism 70 is provided on the base 10. This Y-axis mechanism 70 includes a first Y-axis motor 701, a first Y-axis slide rail 702, a first Y-axis lead screw 703, and a first Y-axis slider (not shown in the figure). Two first Y-axis slide rails 702 are fixed parallel to each other on the base 10. The first Y-axis slider is slidably mounted on the first Y-axis slide rails 702, and the processing platform 20 is fixed on the first Y-axis slider. The first Y-axis motor 701 is fixed on the base 10 and located between the two first Y-axis slide rails 702. One end of the first Y-axis lead screw 703 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the first Y-axis motor 701. A first lead screw nut (not shown in the figure) is provided on the first Y-axis lead screw 703, and this first lead screw nut is fixedly mounted below the processing platform 20. With this structure, driven by the first Y-axis motor 701, the first lead screw nut can slide on the first Y-axis lead screw 703, thereby causing the processing platform 20 to translate along the first Y-axis slide rails 702.

[0045] Furthermore, the multi-Z-axis metal processing machine also includes a second Y-axis motor 801, a second Y-axis slider 802, and a second Y-axis lead screw 803; the second Y-axis slider 802 is slidably disposed on the first Y-axis slide rail 702, and the tool replacement platform 50 is fixed on the second Y-axis slider 802; the second Y-axis motor 801 is fixed on the base 10 and located between the two first Y-axis slide rails 702, one end of the second Y-axis lead screw 803 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the second Y-axis motor 801, a second lead screw nut (not marked in the figure) is provided on the second Y-axis lead screw 803, and the second lead screw nut is fixedly installed below the tool replacement platform 50. With this structure, the tool changing platform 50 can be translated along the first Y-axis slide rail 702 by driving the second Y-axis motor 801. It should be noted that both the tool changing platform 50 and the machining platform 20 translate along the first Y-axis slide rail 702. In actual operation, to avoid collisions between the tool changing platform 50 and the machining platform 20, the machining platform 20 needs to move to the top position of the first Y-axis slide rail 702 during tool changing (e.g., ...). Figure 5 (as shown in the image), at this time, the area below the Z-axis module 301 is reserved for the operation of the tool replacement platform 50; similarly, during the workpiece machining process, the tool replacement platform 50 needs to move to the very end position of the first Y-axis slide rail 702 (as shown in the image). Figure 3 (The location shown in the image).

[0046] For the structure of the tool replacement platform 50, refer to Figure 3As shown, this utility model provides a specific embodiment in which the tool replacement platform 50 includes a first horizontal plate and a tool placement seat. The first horizontal plate is fixed on the second Y-axis slider 802, and the tool placement seat is fixed on the first horizontal plate, with holes provided on the tool placement seat for accommodating machining tools. For the structure of the planar tool magazine 40, refer to... Figure 3 As shown, this utility model also provides a specific embodiment, wherein the planar tool magazine 40 includes a second horizontal plate, on which multiple holes for accommodating machining tools are arranged in an array, which can hold machining tools with different functions.

[0047] In addition, to achieve a waterproof effect, refer to Figure 3 As shown, a lifting baffle 901 is provided between the tool changing robot 60 and the machining mechanism 30. After the lifting baffle 901 is lowered, it is positioned between the tool changing platform 50 and the machining platform 20, which can prevent coolant from splashing onto the tool changing platform 50 and the planar tool magazine 40 during machining. For its specific structure, this utility model also provides a specific embodiment: the multi-Z-axis metalworking machine includes a gantry frame 902, the machining mechanism 30 is fixed to one side wall of the gantry frame 902, and the tool changing robot 60 is located on the other side of the gantry frame 902; a lifting electric cylinder 903 is fixedly installed on the gantry frame 902, and both ends of the lifting baffle 901 are fixedly connected to the drive end of the lifting electric cylinder 903, so that the lifting baffle 901 can move up and down by being driven by the lifting electric cylinder 903.

[0048] Regarding the specific structure of the tool changing robot 60, combined with Figure 3As shown, this utility model provides a specific embodiment where the tool changing robot 60 includes a robotic arm 601, a first rotating shaft 602, a second rotating shaft 603, a splined screw 604, and multiple gripper cylinders 605. One end of the first rotating shaft 602 is rotatably connected inside the robotic arm 601, and the other end of the first rotating shaft 602 is rotatably connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 603. The splined screw 604 is located at the other end of the second rotating shaft 603. The multiple gripper cylinders 605 are all fixed to a connecting rod, which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the splined screw 604. With this structure, the robotic arm 601 can drive the first rotating shaft 602 to rotate, and the second rotating shaft 603 can also rotate relative to the first rotating shaft 602, thus enabling free movement within a plane. The connecting rod, driven by the splined screw 604, can perform lifting and lowering movements, thereby driving the gripper cylinders 605 to perform the gripping action of the machining tool. In this embodiment, the number of gripper cylinders 605 is the same as the number of Z-axis modules 301, both being four; however, in actual practice, the number can be increased or decreased according to actual needs. It should be noted that since the specific structure of the tool changing robot 60 is relatively mature in the prior art, its structure will not be described in more detail in this embodiment.

[0049] In addition, a discharge screw rod 103 is provided inside the base 10, and a discharge motor 104 is provided on the side wall of the base 10. One end of the discharge screw rod 103 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the discharge motor 104. The discharge screw rod 103 is rotated by the discharge motor 104 to discharge the processing waste.

[0050] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
