In the present specification, the exemplary description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0038] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the drawings, the present application discloses an automatic scrap iron processing system, which comprises a pretreatment assembly 100, a scrap iron sweeping assembly 200 and a scrap iron processing assembly 300.

[0039] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pre-processing assembly 100 includes a blocking device 110 and a blowing device 120. The blocking device 110 is arranged on one side of the milling cutter 1 and is used to break the iron filings generated by the milling cutter 1. The blowing device 120 is arranged on one side of the milling cutter 1 to blow the iron filings broken by the blocking device 110 to the sweeping range of the sweeping assembly 200, so as to facilitate the sweeping assembly 200 to sweep the iron filings. When the milling cutter 1 is working, the generated iron filings will contact and be broken after accumulating a certain length by the blocking device 110 arranged on one side of the milling cutter 1, so that the length of the iron filings can be controlled within a certain range, effectively avoiding the situation that the iron filings grow unlimitedly and wind around the milling cutter 1. The arrangement of the blowing device 120 can blow the iron filings to a position away from the working range of the milling cutter, which is also beneficial to the iron filings falling within the sweeping range of the sweeping assembly 200, thereby facilitating the sweeping assembly 200 to sweep the iron filings.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the sweeping assembly 200 is used to sweep the iron filings falling on the milling machine table 2. After the iron filings are broken by the blocking device 110, they will fall on the surface of the machine table 2 below the milling cutter 1. At this time, the sweeping assembly 200 can sweep the iron filings on the surface of the machine table 2, and finally transfer the iron filings to the iron filings processing assembly 300 for processing.

[0041] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the iron filings processing assembly 300 includes a conveying assembly 310 and a compression device 320. The conveying assembly 310 is used to convey the iron filings to the compression device 320, and the compression device 320 is used to compress the iron filings. When the iron filings are transferred into the compression device 320, the compression device 320 can compress the iron filings, which can effectively reduce the occupied space of the iron filings.

[0042] In the foregoing automatic iron filings processing system, the blocking device 110 arranged on one side of the milling cutter 1 can break the long strip-shaped iron filings generated during the operation of the milling cutter 1, effectively avoiding the situation that the long strip-shaped iron filings become entangled and even wind around the milling cutter 1, which is beneficial to the normal operation of the milling cutter 1. At the same time, the sweeping assembly 200 can sweep the broken iron filings into the conveying assembly 310. The iron filings are conveyed into the compression device 320 under the action of the conveying assembly 310, and the compression device 320 regularly compresses the conveyed iron filings, effectively reducing the occupied space of the iron filings.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , the blocking device 110 includes a blocking rod arranged on one side of the milling cutter 1, which is used to block the iron filings at the milling cutter 1. The number of blocking rods can be one or more. When the number of blocking rods is more than one, the blocking rods are evenly spaced around the milling cutter 1. Arranging multiple blocking rods on one side of the milling cutter 1 can break the generated iron filings in time to avoid the iron filings winding around the milling cutter 1.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the blowing device 120 comprises a blowing body 121 and a driving component 122, the driving component 122 can drive the blowing body 121 to swing up and down. Specifically, the blowing direction of the blowing device 120 is consistent with the sweeping direction of the sweeping assembly 200, that is, the blowing direction of the blowing device 120 is from the side far away from the conveying assembly 310 to the side close to the conveying assembly 310, so as to make the iron filings broken by the blocking device 110 fall to a position closer to the conveying assembly 310, thereby facilitating the sweeping assembly 200 to sweep away the iron filings.

[0045] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the blowing device 120 can swing up and down, which is beneficial to blow the iron filings to a position far away from the milling cutter 1, and at the same time, the blowing device 120 can make the iron filings fall as much as possible within the sweeping range of the sweeping assembly 200, so as to facilitate the sweeping assembly 200 to sweep away the iron filings. Specifically, as shown in Figure 5a and Figure 5b , the blowing device 120 comprises a blowing body 121, a driving component 122, a sliding rod 123, a rotating shaft 124 and a movable block 125, the blowing body 121 is provided with a sliding groove, the sliding rod 123 is arranged in the sliding groove, one end of the sliding rod 123 is fixedly connected with the movable block 125, the rotating shaft 124 is also fixedly connected with the movable block 125, the driving component 122 drives the rotating shaft 124 to rotate, so as to drive the movable block 125 to rotate around the rotating shaft 124, thereby driving the sliding rod 123 and the blowing body 121 to move, and further realizing the adjustment of the up-down inclination angle of the blowing body 121.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 , Figures 6 to 7 , the sweeping assembly 200 comprises a guide rail 210, a moving mechanism 220 and a sweeping plate 230, the guide rail 210 is arranged across the machine table 2, the moving mechanism 220 is installed on the guide rail 210 and can move along the guide rail 210, and the sweeping plate 230 is connected with the moving mechanism 220. Specifically, the guide rail 210 is arranged across the machine table 2, that is, the moving mechanism 220 can drive the sweeping plate 230 to move across the entire machine table 2, which is beneficial to increase the sweeping area of the sweeping plate 230. The length direction of the sweeping plate 230 is at a certain angle with the extension direction of the guide rail 210. In the present embodiment, the length direction of the sweeping plate 230 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide rail 210, so that the sweeping plate 230 has a larger sweeping area, while the length of the sweeping plate 230 can be effectively shortened, and the volume of the sweeping plate 230 can be effectively reduced, which is beneficial to reduce the blocking effect of the sweeping plate 230 on the iron filings blown by the blowing device 120, thereby effectively reducing the pressure of the sweeping plate 230 to send out the iron filings.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown inFigure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the chip removal assembly 200 also includes a second drive member 240, which is connected to the moving mechanism 220. The chip removal plate 230 is connected to the output end of the second drive member 240. The second drive member 240 is used to drive the chip removal plate 230 to move along the length direction of the chip removal plate 230. When the chip removal plate 230 is in a non-working state, the second drive member 240 drives the chip removal plate 230 to move away from the milling cutter 1, effectively preventing the iron chips blown by the air blowing device 120 from accumulating at the position of the chip removal plate 230. When the chip removal plate 230 is in a working state, the second drive member 240 drives the chip removal plate 230 to move closer to the milling cutter 1, so as to sweep the iron chips blown by the air blowing device 120 to one side of the conveying assembly 310.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the chip removal plate 230 is configured as a folding structure to further reduce the volume of the chip removal plate 230 when it is not in operation, thereby effectively reducing the impact of the chip removal plate 230 on iron filings.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the automatic metal scrap handling system also includes an anti-splash component, which includes a baffle 410 and a first driving member. The baffle 410 is disposed on one side of the milling cutter 1, and the milling cutter 1 is located between the baffle 410 and the chip sweeping component 200. The first driving member is used to drive the baffle 410 to rise and fall. The baffle 410 spans across the machine base 2, which helps to confine the metal scrap blown by the air blowing device 120 within the area enclosed by the baffle 410, facilitating the removal of the metal scrap by the chip sweeping component 200. It should be understood that a corresponding baffle 410 can also be installed on the side of the machine base 2 away from the metal scrap handling component 300 as needed, so that the metal scrap can fall within the area enclosed by the baffle 410. In practical applications, the first driving member can specifically be a cylinder, with the output end of the cylinder fixedly connected to the baffle 410. When it is necessary to remove metal scrap from the machine base 2, the cylinder is used to drive the baffle 410 to rise, facilitating the removal of the metal scrap by the chip sweeping component 200.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the baffle 410 is provided with a visualization window to facilitate workers' observation of the iron filings removal process. In practical applications, the baffle 410 at the visualization window is selected as a baffle made of transparent materials such as glass or acrylic sheet to achieve visualization.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 8As shown, the compression device 320 has a compression chamber 321 and includes a compression mechanism disposed within the compression chamber 321. The compression mechanism is used to compress the iron filings within the compression chamber 321. When the chip sweeping assembly 200 sweeps the iron filings to the conveying assembly 310, the conveying assembly 310 conveys the iron filings to the compression chamber 321 of the compression device 320. Then, the compression mechanism within the compression device 320 compresses the iron filings to reduce the space occupied by the iron filings.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the compression mechanism includes a first hydraulic mechanism 322, a second hydraulic mechanism 323, and a third hydraulic mechanism 324. The first hydraulic mechanism 322 includes a first hydraulic plate disposed at the top of the compression chamber 321, capable of compressing the iron filings downwards. The second hydraulic mechanism 323 includes a second hydraulic plate disposed on one side of the feed inlet. The third hydraulic mechanism 324 includes a third hydraulic plate disposed on one side of the feed inlet. When the iron filings are conveyed into the compression chamber 321, the first hydraulic mechanism 322, the second hydraulic mechanism 323, and the third hydraulic mechanism 324 respectively operate to compress the iron filings.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the compression device 320 further includes a sensor disposed in the compression chamber 321. The sensor is used to detect the volume of iron filings in the compression chamber 321, so as to facilitate the operator to understand the status of iron filings in the compression chamber 321.

[0054] Another embodiment of this application discloses a milling machine that includes the automatic chip handling system described above, which has all the technical effects of the aforementioned automatic chip handling system, and will not be repeated here.

[0055] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
