[0016] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the machine tool sheet metal protective cover is composed of several connected sheet metal plates. Each sheet metal plate includes an outer sheet metal 1 and an inner sheet metal 2, forming a cavity 3 between them. The outer sheet metal 1 and the inner sheet metal 2 are connected around their perimeters. The inner sheet metal 2 has several recessed mounting grooves 4 forming the cavity 3, with the grooves being narrower at the outside and wider at the inside. The cavity 3 is filled with a filling material. A connecting mechanism is provided on some of the sheet metal plates, including a straight cylinder 5. The outer sheet metal 1 has an opening 6 for one end of the straight cylinder 5 to extend out, and the inner sheet metal 2 has an opening 6 for the other end of the straight cylinder 5 to extend out. The two ends of the straight cylinder 5 are fixedly connected to the outer sheet metal 1 and the inner sheet metal 2, respectively. A portion of the connecting mechanism serves as an observation section, with the two ends of the straight cylinder 5 in the observation section covered by cover plates 7. The sheet metal plates on the front of the machine tool are hinged to other sheet metal plates to form an openable door. The sheet metal plates in other locations can be welded together or fixedly connected by bolts.
