Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of machine tool chip removal devices, and relates to a four-directional compatible and universal scraper chip removal and filtration system and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of electronic information technology, the machine tool industry has been constantly innovating and progressing towards intelligence, precision, automation, environmental protection, and energy conservation to adapt to market demands. The continuous development of high-end equipment manufacturing and the continuous advancement of CNC machine tools inevitably involve machine tools and CNC machining, among which chip handling and cutting fluid circulation are crucial aspects affecting machining.

[0003] The scraper chip removal and filtration system is a device that integrates chip handling, cutting fluid treatment, and automatic control and monitoring systems. It can realize the automatic separation of chips and cutting fluid in CNC machine tool processing, as well as the filtration, purification, and cooling circulation of cutting fluid, and has high filtration efficiency and chip removal performance.

[0004] To adapt to different application scenarios, especially when multiple machine tools are modularized and integrated into workshop production lines, higher requirements are placed on the layout of machine tools and their accessories. This results in variations in the positions of peripheral accessories and chip removal ports. Scraper chip removal and filtration systems exist in various forms, including left-side front row (chip conveyor on the left side of the machine, chip removal port at the front), right-side front row (chip conveyor on the right side of the machine, chip removal port at the front), left-side rear row (chip conveyor on the left side of the machine, chip removal port at the rear), and right-side rear row (chip conveyor on the right side of the machine, chip removal port at the rear). This has had a significant impact on the compatibility of scraper chip removal and filtration systems. Under the premise of consistent functional requirements, the same machine tool may face four similar but different scraper chip removal and filtration systems, resulting in waste of resources and loss of efficiency at all stages of the equipment's life cycle. Upgrading, debugging, and troubleshooting similar equipment will increase technical debt and operational complexity. The development of similar parts will also easily lead to a wide variety of parts, scattered procurement, and inventory backlog, resulting in a decline in supply chain and management efficiency. This greatly increases the costs of equipment development, production, and maintenance, which is not conducive to the promotion and use of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

When the installation is reversed, the second groove cover plate is installed on the symmetrical side of the first groove cover plate, and the second groove cover plate and the first groove cover plate are structurally symmetrical.

[0011] Optionally, it also includes a height adjustment component, which is installed between the chip conveyor section and the liquid tank section, for adjusting the height of the chip conveyor section relative to the liquid tank section.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0023] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0024] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "horizontal," or "inner" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of the invention is in use, they are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] Furthermore, the use of the term "horizontal" does not imply that the component must be absolutely horizontal, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings: To address the issue of redundant specifications in scraper chip removal and filtration systems due to variations in the location and layout requirements of machine tool chip discharge ports, this invention proposes a universally compatible scraper chip removal and filtration system that operates in four directions. With a universal main structure, only minor parts are modified to achieve compatibility with four installation methods in a single scraper chip removal and filtration system. This adapts to changes in the location of machine tool chip discharge ports, meets the layout and application needs of machine tools, and improves economic efficiency.

[0028] See Figure 1This application discloses a four-directional compatible scraper chip removal and filtration system, including a chip conveyor section 1, a liquid tank section 7, a chip collection cart 9, and a packaging section 10. The chip conveyor section 1 can be installed in either the front or rear of the liquid tank section 7. The chip overflow port 3 of the chip conveyor section 1 is connected to the liquid inlet of the liquid tank section 7, and the chip collection cart 9 is located below the chip outlet of the chip conveyor section 1. The liquid tank section 7 has a symmetrical structure to accommodate the reversible installation of the chip conveyor section 1, allowing the scraper chip removal and filtration system to be adapted to chip removal and filtration operations in any of the following directions on the same machine tool: left front row, left rear row, right front row, and right rear row. Through the symmetrical structure of the liquid tank section 10 and the reversible installation of the chip conveyor section 1, the same scraper chip removal and filtration system can be compatible with four installation directions: left front row, left rear row, right front row, and right rear row. This avoids developing multiple similar devices for different chip outlet orientations, reduces the variety of equipment specifications, and lowers the development, production, and maintenance costs throughout the entire lifecycle.

[0029] In some embodiments, the chip conveyor unit 1 includes a chip conveyor housing 11, a drive assembly 12, and an electrical control sheet metal assembly 13. The drive assembly 12 is installed at the head of the chip conveyor housing 11, and the electrical control sheet metal assembly 13 is installed at the top of the chip conveyor housing 11. A support leg mounting bracket 16 is provided below the head of the chip conveyor housing 11, and a rear connecting bracket mounting hole 15 is provided at the tail of the chip conveyor housing 11. Chip conveyor overflow ports 3 are symmetrically opened on the left and right side walls of the chip conveyor housing 11. The drive assembly 12 is installed on the left or right side of the chip conveyor housing 11, and an overflow port baffle 18 for closing the overflow port is detachably installed on the non-working side of the chip conveyor overflow port 3. The overflow ports 3 are symmetrically opened on the left and right side walls of the chip conveyor housing 11. The drive assembly 12 can be selectively installed on the left or right side, and a baffle is installed to close the overflow port on the non-working side. This enables the chip conveyor itself to have the ability to switch left and right. It can adapt to the power input and overflow direction on different sides without changing the main structure, further improving the system's compatibility with multiple installation directions.

[0030] In some embodiments, the electrical control sheet metal assembly 13 includes a bearing mounting side plate 17, a first motor-side mounting side plate 14, a second motor-side mounting side plate 19, and an electrical control box main structure and a top cover plate. When the drive assembly 12 is in the first installation direction, the bearing mounting side plate 17 and the first motor-side mounting side plate 14 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the electrical control box main structure, and their installation positions on the electrical control box main structure are symmetrical. When the drive assembly 12 is reversed to the second installation direction, the bearing mounting side plate 17 is reversed, and the second motor-side mounting side plate 19 replaces the first motor-side mounting side plate 14 and is installed on the opposite side. The second motor-side mounting side plate 19 and the first motor-side mounting side plate 14 are structurally completely symmetrical. By employing the symmetrical design of the bearing mounting side plate 17 and the motor mounting side plate, and the complete interchangeability of the second motor mounting side plate 19 and the first motor mounting side plate 14, the drive assembly 12 can be reversibly installed by simply reversing the bearing mounting side plate 17 and replacing the motor mounting side plate. This eliminates the need to modify the chip conveyor housing or add extra parts, thereby enabling rapid switching of the left and right power input directions of the chip conveyor with minimal part changes, further reducing the variety of parts and assembly complexity.

[0031] In some embodiments, the liquid tank section 7 includes a liquid tank body 20, a liquid tank partition baffle 25, an insert filter screen 4, and several cover plates. The liquid tank body 20 has a symmetrical structure. The liquid tank partition baffle 25 can be installed in opposite directions on both sides of the interior of the liquid tank body 20. The cover plates can be flipped and installed on the top of the liquid tank body 20. The insert filter screen 4 is installed in the rectangular holes reserved between adjacent cover plates. Through the symmetrical structure of the liquid tank body 20, the reversible installation of the liquid tank partition baffle 25, and the flipping installation of the cover plates, the liquid tank section 7 can be adapted to different installation directions of the chip conveyor section 1 without replacing the main body parts. At the same time, the position of the insert filter screen 4 is adjusted according to the change of the cover plate hole positions, thereby achieving the orientation adaptation of the internal flow channel and external interface of the liquid tank with simple structural adjustment, further reducing the number of special parts and improving the versatility and assembly efficiency of the system.

[0032] In some embodiments, the liquid tank section 7 further includes a first wire groove cover plate 27 and a second wire groove cover plate 28. The first wire groove cover plate 27 is installed in the wire groove below the head of the chip conveyor section 1. During reversal installation, the second wire groove cover plate 28 is installed on the symmetrical side of the first wire groove cover plate 27, and the second wire groove cover plate 28 is structurally symmetrical to the first wire groove cover plate 27. By setting the first wire groove cover plate 27 and the second wire groove cover plate 28 with symmetrical structures, when the chip conveyor section 1 is reversed, it is only necessary to install the second wire groove cover plate 28 on the symmetrical side of the first wire groove cover plate 27, so that the wire harness channel is always located below the head of the chip conveyor without modifying the main structure of the wire groove, thereby simplifying the wire harness arrangement and improving the reversal assembly efficiency.

[0033] In some embodiments, a height adjustment component is also included, which is installed between the chip conveyor unit 1 and the liquid tank unit 7, for adjusting the height of the chip conveyor unit 1 relative to the liquid tank unit 7. By providing the height adjustment component, the relative height between the chip conveyor unit 1 and the liquid tank unit 7 is adjustable, thereby enabling the same scraper chip removal and filtration system to adapt to the height requirements of different machine tool chip discharge ports without the need to redesign or replace major components for each height, further expanding the system's universal adaptability.

[0034] In some embodiments, the height adjustment assembly includes a chip conveyor support leg 33, a raised sheet metal, a rear connecting frame, a silicone pad, and a silicone pad pressure plate; the upper end of the chip conveyor support leg 33 is connected to the support leg mounting bracket 16, the lower end of the raised sheet metal is fixed to the raised sheet metal mounting support column 22 inside the liquid tank body 20, and the upper end of the raised sheet metal supports the chip conveyor part 1; one end of the rear connecting frame is connected to the tail of the chip conveyor, and the other end is connected to the rear side of the liquid tank part 7, and the rear connecting frame is provided with connection holes of different heights; the silicone pad is sandwiched in the gap between the chip conveyor overflow port 3 and the chip collection basket 6 of the liquid tank part 7, and the silicone pad pressure plate is pressed on top of the silicone pad. Through the multi-position connection between the chip conveyor support leg 33 and the support leg mounting bracket 16, the support of the raised sheet metal inside the liquid tank, the selection of connection holes of different heights on the rear connecting bracket, and the adjustable sealing of the overflow port gap by the silicone pad and pressure plate, the height adjustment of the chip conveyor relative to the liquid tank is made more stable and reliable. At the same time, it ensures the sealing between the overflow port and the chip collection basket after the height change, thus achieving precise adaptation of multiple height positions with a compact combination of parts.

[0035] In some embodiments, the packaging unit 10 includes a packaging base 32, packaging side panels 31, and a packaging top plate 30. The packaging base 32 has a symmetrical structure. The chip conveyor unit 1 and the liquid tank unit 7 are fixed on the packaging base 32. The packaging side panels 31 are installed around the packaging base 32, and the packaging top plate 30 covers the top of the packaging side panels 31. The symmetrical structure of the packaging base 32 and the surrounding packaging side panels 31 and packaging top plate 30 allow the same packaging unit to adapt to the fixed positions of the chip conveyor unit 1 and the liquid tank unit 7 in different installation directions. This allows for four-way installation and overall packaging without replacing or adjusting packaging components, thereby improving the versatility of the packaging and its stability during transportation.

[0036] This application also discloses a method of using a four-way compatible universal scraper chip removal filter system, including: According to the orientation of the chip discharge port of the machine tool, the chip discharge machine part 1 is installed in a different direction relative to the liquid tank part 7, so that the scraper chip discharge filtration system can be adapted to chip discharge filtration work in any direction of the left front row, left rear row, right front row and right rear row of the same machine tool. Adjust the relative height of the chip conveyor section 1 and the liquid tank section 7 according to the height of the chip discharge port of the machine tool.

[0037] In some embodiments, the chip conveyor unit 1 includes a chip conveyor housing 11, a drive assembly 12, an electrical control sheet metal assembly 13, and an overflow port baffle 18; the liquid tank unit 7 includes a liquid tank housing 20, a liquid tank partition baffle 25, a first cable tray cover 27, and a second cable tray cover 28; the reversing installation step specifically includes: Install the drive assembly 12 onto the drive assembly mounting structure on the selected side of the chip conveyor housing 11 head; Install the overflow baffle 18 onto the chip conveyor overflow port 3 on the non-working side and seal the overflow port; Remove the liquid tank partition baffle 25 from one side of the liquid tank body 20 and install it in the corresponding mounting slot on the other side; Remove the cover plate from the liquid tank body 20, flip it over and reinstall it to match the required position of the water pump, etc. Remove the first cable tray cover 27 and install the second cable tray cover 28 on the symmetrical side of the first cable tray cover 27.

[0038] In some embodiments, the step of adjusting the relative height setting specifically includes: Install the corresponding thickness of the raised sheet metal 43 and 45 on the raised sheet metal mounting pillar 22 inside the liquid tank; Install the upper end of the chip conveyor support leg 33 into a set of mounting nuts at the corresponding height on the support leg mounting bracket 16 below the chip conveyor head; Select a rear connecting bracket with corresponding height connection holes, connect one end of it to the tail of the chip conveyor, and connect the other end to the rear side of the liquid tank 7; Select a liquid tank cover of appropriate length to cover the liquid tank body 20 below the chip conveyor support leg 33; Select a silicone pad and silicone pad pressure plate of appropriate height, insert the silicone pad into the gap between the overflow port 3 of the chip conveyor and the chip collection basket 6 of the liquid tank, and press it firmly with the silicone pad pressure plate.

[0039] Example 1 The working principle of the scraper chip removal and filtration system described in this embodiment is as follows: The chip conveyor section 1 collects the cutting fluid and chips discharged from the machine tool, and performs solid-liquid separation through the built-in filter device 2. The chips are conveyed to the chip collection cart 9 by the scraper conveyor mechanism to complete automatic chip removal. The cutting fluid overflows from the built-in filter device 2 through the chip conveyor overflow port 3 to the liquid tank section 7. After passing through multiple stages of filtration such as the filter basket 5, the chip collection basket 6, and the insert filter screen 4, it is circulated to the machine tool by the water pump 8.

[0040] The scraper chip removal and filtration system described in this embodiment mainly includes a chip removal machine section 1, a liquid tank section 7, a chip collection cart 9, and a packaging section 10.

[0041] The chip conveyor unit mainly includes a chip conveyor housing 11, a drive assembly 12, and an electrical control sheet metal assembly 13. The support leg mounting bracket 16 below the chip conveyor head, the rear connecting bracket mounting hole 15 at the tail, and the chip conveyor overflow port 3 are designed with a symmetrical structure. When reversing the installation direction, the overflow port baffle 18 is reversed and installed to the overflow port position on the symmetrical side to achieve the overflow function. Simultaneously, the drive assembly mounting structure on the chip conveyor is also designed symmetrically, allowing the drive assembly to be installed in either the left or right direction at the head. The main body of the electrical control sheet metal assembly 13 is also symmetrical, with the side covers being a bearing mounting side plate 17 and a first motor mounting side plate 14, respectively. When reversing the drive assembly installation direction, the electrical control sheet metal assembly 13 needs to be reversibly installed with the bearing mounting side plate, and the second motor mounting side plate 19 needs to be replaced. The second motor mounting side plate 19 and the first motor mounting side plate 14 are structurally completely symmetrical, thus achieving two installation methods: motor on the left or motor on the right. The reversible installation of the drive assembly, the electrical control sheet metal assembly 13, and the overflow port baffle together support the reversible installation effect of the chip conveyor unit.

[0042] The liquid tank section mainly includes a liquid tank body 20, a liquid tank partition baffle 25, an insert filter screen 4, and multiple covers and cable tray covers on the liquid tank. The liquid tank body 20 is the main structural component, with a symmetrical design. During reverse installation, the liquid tank partition baffle 25 is reversed and installed at the partition baffle installation position on the symmetrical side of the liquid tank body, thereby modifying the flow channel inside the liquid tank. The mounting holes of the liquid tank cover are symmetrical, the cover thickness is 4mm, and the required M5 threaded holes for related functions are directly tapped. During reverse installation, the cover can be installed in both directions on the symmetrical structure on different sides. The installation of the cover can be changed according to requirements, and the installation of the insert filter screen 4 changes according to the rectangular hole position reserved between the second cover plate 23 and the third cover plate 24. The cable trays on the liquid tank body 20 are designed symmetrically. Since the first cable tray cover 27 is located below the chip conveyor head and needs to pass through the wiring harness, all cable tray covers except the first cable tray cover 27 can be installed symmetrically on the liquid tank. When reversing the installation, the first cable tray cover 27 is removed, and the second cable tray cover 28 is installed on the symmetrical side of the first cable tray cover 27. The second cable tray cover 28 is structurally completely symmetrical with the first cable tray cover 27. The liquid tank body transport fixing structure 29 is designed with central symmetry, which can be used for packaging during product packaging.

[0043] The packaging section 10 includes a packaging chassis 32, packaging side panels 31, and a top plate 30. The packaging chassis 32 is designed with a symmetrical structure, which can be used for four-way installation of the scraper chip removal and filtration system equipment. When installing in different directions, only the relative positions of the packaging chassis 32 and the scraper chip removal and filtration system equipment need to be adjusted, while the packaging side panels 31 and the top plate 30 remain unchanged.

[0044] The scraper chip removal system described in this embodiment can also achieve different height settings by adjusting the relative height between the chip conveyor and the liquid tank, thus meeting the docking requirements of different chip removal ports of different machine tools. It mainly involves parts such as the chip conveyor support leg 33, two types of raised sheet metal, three types of rear connecting brackets, three types of first liquid tank cover plates, three types of silicone pads, and three types of silicone pad pressure plates.

[0045] The liquid tank is equipped with two sets of raised sheet metal mounting supports 22. When it is necessary to raise the machine from a low to a medium position, two sets of second raised sheet metal supports 45 are installed on the raised sheet metal mounting supports 22. When it is necessary to raise the machine from a low to a high position, two sets of third raised sheet metal supports 43 are installed on the supports. At the same time, multiple sets of mounting nuts are set on the support leg mounting bracket 16 below the chip conveyor head. The spacing of the mounting nuts is consistent with the height difference between the two sets of raised sheet metal supports. The height of the chip conveyor head can be adjusted and installed by adjusting the installation between the support legs 33 and the different sets of nuts. The installation of the tail of the chip conveyor is achieved by setting multiple rear connecting brackets. The three different height positions of low, medium and high use a first rear connecting bracket 47, a second rear connecting bracket 46 and a third rear connecting bracket 44 with different height holes to achieve the connection of the tail of the chip conveyor. After the relative position of the chip conveyor and the liquid tank changes, the length of the first liquid tank cover plate 38 under the support legs of the chip conveyor is insufficient. This is addressed by setting different lengths of the first liquid tank cover plate 38, second liquid tank cover plate 36, and third liquid tank cover plate 34, suitable for low, medium, and high settings. After the relative height of the chip conveyor section 1 and the liquid tank section 7 is adjusted, the gap between the chip conveyor overflow port 3 and the liquid tank chip collection basket 6 in the height direction is too large. This is addressed by setting a first silicone pad 40 and a first silicone pad pressure plate 39 suitable for the low setting, a second silicone pad 41 and a second silicone pad pressure plate 37 suitable for the medium setting, and a third silicone pad 42 and a third silicone pad pressure plate 35 suitable for the high setting to close the gap. This completes the adjustment of the height direction between the chip conveyor section 1 and the liquid tank section 7.

[0046] In summary, the four-directional compatible universal scraper chip removal filtration system described in this embodiment achieves the reversible installation of the chip conveyor section 1 and the liquid tank section 7 through the symmetrical design of the main components such as the chip conveyor housing 11 and the liquid tank housing 20. At the same time, the chip conveyor section and the liquid tank section can be adjusted in multiple height positions. Under the premise of meeting various functional configurations, the scraper chip removal filtration system can be installed and applied in four directions and three heights, that is, twelve configuration forms.

[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
