[0002] In the field of CNC machine tools, the double-exchange-table horizontal machining center has two worktables, one for machining and the other for loading, equipped with an automatic exchange mechanism. This allows for simultaneous workpiece clamping and machining, significantly reducing waiting time for workpiece clamping and improving equipment utilization. In the double-exchange-table horizontal machining center, isolation screens are used for area protection, preventing cutting fluid, metal shavings, and other debris from flying out of the machining area, ensuring the cleanliness of the loading area and the safety of operators.
[0003] Currently, the main structures of isolation screen doors are rotating and lifting doors.
[0004] The rotary type mainly uses a dual hydraulic cylinder to drive a rack and pinion mechanism for rotational motion. The disadvantages of this method are: uneven driving pressure from the dual hydraulic cylinders can cause the screen door to jam or even become stuck; the hydraulic drive speed is slow, the exchange mechanism rotates slowly, the exchange time is long, and the efficiency is low.
[0005] The lifting door is driven by a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder to create space for exchange. Its disadvantages include: occupying too much vertical space, affecting the maximum workpiece height and the overall equipment height, reducing the adaptability of horizontal machining centers; and requiring additional pre-operational actions for lifting the door during worktable exchange compared to rotary systems, increasing exchange time and reducing machine tool efficiency and reliability.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0021] See Figure 1-3A rotary isolation screen door structure for a horizontal machining center with a double-exchange worktable includes a base, a screen door body mechanism, an outer frame of the screen door, and a rotary drive mechanism. The rotary drive mechanism is the core component for achieving efficient and stable operation.
[0022] The base 11 is equipped with a screen door mechanism, which includes a left frame 1 and a right frame 9. The left frame 1 and the right frame 9 are connected by a crossbeam frame 2 to form the outer frame of the screen door. The base 11 is equipped with the rotary drive mechanism, which includes a bridge plate 10 mounted on the base 11. The bridge plate 10 also houses a rotary shaft 30, a thrust roller bearing 29, a large gear 26, and a tapered roller bearing 25. The thrust roller bearing 29 is connected to the rotary table 8 via a bottom cover 28 and is specifically designed to withstand the enormous axial pressure generated by the screen door mechanism, ensuring the structural rigidity in the vertical direction. The large gear 26 is circumferentially fixed via a key 27 to transmit rotational torque. The tapered roller bearing 25 is connected to the rotary table 8 via an upper end cover 24 and can simultaneously withstand radial and axial loads, further ensuring the accuracy and stability of the rotary shaft 30 during high-speed rotation. A planetary reducer 13 is mounted on the rotary table 8, and a servo motor 12 is mounted at the tail end of the planetary reducer 13, providing rotational power. The planetary reducer 13 has a pinion 15 mounted on its front axle. The pinion 15 meshes with the large gear 26 to form a first-stage reduction mechanism. The servo motor 12 starts, providing precise rotational power. This power is first transmitted to the planetary reducer 13 for first-stage reduction, thereby achieving a response speed and transmission efficiency far exceeding those of the hydraulic drive method in the prior art, directly solving the problems of slow exchange speed and low efficiency in the existing technology.
[0023] Furthermore, the servo motor 12 drives the rotary shaft 30 to rotate through the planetary reducer 13 and the first-stage reduction mechanism.
[0024] The small gear 15 on the output shaft of the planetary reducer 13 rotates accordingly, driving the large gear 26 that meshes with it. The large gear 26 is circumferentially fixed to the rotating shaft 30 via a key 27, transmitting power and motion to the rotating shaft 30. This two-stage reduction transmission system, consisting of a servo motor 12, a planetary reducer 13, and a small gear 15 / large gear 26, is not only compact in structure but also achieves smooth transmission with high torque and high precision. It fundamentally avoids the problems of uneven pressure, jamming, or even jamming that may occur with dual hydraulic cylinder drives, ensuring the stability and reliability of the screen door's long-term operation.
[0025] The rotating drive mechanism is equipped with a screen door mechanism, which includes a lower central column flange 23, which is connected and fixed to the rotating platform 8. A central column 5 is mounted on the lower central column flange 23, and an upper central column flange 22 is mounted on the upper end of the central column 5. The upper central column flange 22 is equipped with six evenly distributed guide columns 21, which cooperate with guide holes provided on the screen pivot cover 19. This design forms a mechanism that is "circumferentially fixed and axially slightly movable," which provides reliable radial support for the outer frame of the screen door during rotation, ensuring rotational stability. At the same time, it allows for slight axial displacement due to manufacturing and installation errors, avoiding structural interference and further improving operational reliability and accuracy. The screen pivot cover 19, along with the screen support flange 17, tapered roller bearing 18, and locking nut 20, are installed on the screen pivot 16 to form a screen rotation mechanism. The screen pivot 16 is fixed to the crossbeam frame 2. A baffle 3 is connected to the flange 17 of the screen support. This baffle effectively prevents cutting fluid and iron filings from flying into the screen's rotating mechanism, thus preventing contamination or damage to precision bearings and transmission components, and greatly improving the equipment's environmental adaptability and maintenance cycle. A left screen 4 and a right screen 6 are also connected to the central column 5. Each of the left and right screens is equipped with an acrylic window 7, which is fixed by a glass window pressure plate 14. This ensures that operators can clearly observe the internal conditions of the processing area while also providing safety isolation.
[0026] See Figure 4 An inductive switch bracket 33 is mounted on the base 11, and an inductive switch 32 is mounted on the inductive switch bracket 33. One inductive element 31 is mounted on each of the upper and lower edges of the bridge 10. The inductive switch 32 generates a positioning signal through the inductive element 31 to detect the positioning of the screen door mechanism. When the screen door rotates to the predetermined open or closed position, the inductive element 31 enters the detection area of the inductive switch 32, thereby generating a positioning signal and sending it to the machine tool control system. This design automates the entire exchange process, ensuring accurate exchange positions and high repeatability. It not only shortens the exchange time but also eliminates the risk of equipment collisions or downtime caused by inaccurate positioning, significantly improving the machine tool's efficiency and reliability.
[0027] In summary, through the synergistic effect of the above-mentioned components, this utility model specifically realizes a rotating isolation screen door with smooth driving, strong structural rigidity, high rotational accuracy, good protective performance, and precise control, which comprehensively overcomes the defects of the prior art and achieves the expected invention purpose.
[0028] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
