Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal processing, and more particularly to a waste collection device for machine tools. Background Technology

[0002] Countersinking is a metalworking method that involves machining cylindrical countersunk holes, tapered countersunk holes, or boss end faces onto pre-machined holes. The cutting tool used in countersinking is called a countersink drill, typically made of high-speed steel. Countersink drills for machining large-diameter boss cross-sections can be made using regrinded carbide inserts or indexable inserts, fixed to the tool body using inserts or clamps. To improve the efficiency and precision of countersinking, a specialized machine tool for multi-hole countersinking of sheet metal parts, such as the one with announcement number CN218611772U, has been introduced to the market. This machine includes a base, a lifting mechanism mounted on the base, and a multi-axis cutting tool mounted on the lifting mechanism. The upper surface of the base, directly below the multi-axis cutting tool, has an upwardly protruding positioning seat that longitudinally engages with the square visible hole in the sheet metal part.

[0003] In actual operation, the waste generated by countersinking and drilling of the above-mentioned sheet metal parts matrix countersinking multi-hole countersinking machine will accumulate on the surface and around the base, which not only affects the appearance, but also easily pollutes the surrounding environment. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a waste collection device for machine tools. By using a water pumping component to draw cleaning fluid from the clean water chamber and spraying the cleaning fluid onto the surface and surrounding area of ​​the base, the waste on the base can be effectively flushed into the waste collection frame. Finally, the waste is discharged into the waste receiving frame through the discharge port, thus keeping the base clean and reducing pollution to the surrounding environment.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A waste collection device for machine tools includes a base, a waste collection frame disposed below the base, a discharge port extending through the side wall of the waste collection frame, and an upward-facing waste receiving frame disposed below the discharge port. A filter assembly is disposed at the opening of the waste receiving frame, longitudinally aligned with the discharge port. A partition is disposed inside the waste receiving frame to horizontally divide its cavity into a wastewater chamber and a clean water chamber. The filter assembly is located at the opening of the wastewater chamber, and a filter through-hole extends below the surface of the partition. A cleaning liquid and a pumping assembly are disposed within the clean water chamber. The pumping assembly is used to extract the cleaning liquid from the clean water chamber and spray the cleaning liquid onto the surface and surrounding area of ​​the base.

[0007] Using the above solution, the cleaning fluid in the clean water chamber is drawn by the pumping component and sprayed onto the surface and surrounding area of ​​the base. This effectively flushes waste from the base into the waste collection box, keeping the base and its surroundings clean and reducing environmental pollution. The waste and cleaning fluid in the waste collection box are discharged through the discharge port into the filter component of the waste receiving box. Under the filtration effect of the filter component, large particles in the cleaning fluid are removed, allowing the relatively clean filtrate to flow into the wastewater chamber of the waste receiving box, and then be recycled back to the clean water chamber through the filter holes, thus allowing the pumping component to reuse the solution and increasing the utilization rate of the cleaning fluid. When the cleaning fluid enters the clean water chamber from the wastewater chamber, the filter holes remove fine particles and foam, making the recovered cleaning fluid even cleaner.

[0008] Preferably, the water pumping assembly includes a water pumping pipe, a water pump, and a spray gun. One end of the water pumping pipe is located inside the clean water chamber, and the other end of the water pumping pipe is connected to the spray gun. When the water pumping pipe is started, the water pumping pipe draws cleaning liquid from the clean water chamber and sprays the cleaning liquid onto the surface and surrounding area of ​​the base through the spray gun.

[0009] The above solution enables the water pumping unit to efficiently draw cleaning fluid from the purification chamber and precisely spray it onto the surface and surrounding area of ​​the base, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the base. Simultaneously, operators can adjust the spray angle and distance of the spray gun as needed to achieve optimal cleaning results.

[0010] Preferably, the filter assembly includes a waste frame, filter holes distributed at the bottom of the waste frame cavity, and a protruding edge circumferentially disposed on the outer side wall of the waste frame. When the waste frame is placed in the opening of the sewage chamber, the protruding edge abuts against the upper edge of the waste frame so that the bottom of the waste frame can be kept at a distance from the bottom of the sewage chamber.

[0011] The above solution allows the filter assembly to be detachably connected to the opening of the sewage chamber, making it easier for staff to clean the filter residue inside the filter assembly.

[0012] Preferably, a downwardly inclined guide pipe extends from the outer side of the discharge port, with the lower end of the guide pipe located above the opening of the sewage chamber, and an electromagnet is installed on the lower side wall of the guide pipe.

[0013] Using the above solution, the guide pipe can guide the cleaning liquid and waste from the discharge port to be discharged more accurately into the filter assembly of the sewage chamber. After the electromagnet installed on the lower side wall of the guide pipe is activated, it can pre-absorb some of the waste in the cleaning liquid to reduce the probability of clogging of the filter holes in the waste frame. This not only reduces the frequency of cleaning the filter residue by the staff, but also makes the recycling of the cleaning liquid smoother, further improving the efficiency and convenience of operation.

[0014] Preferably, the lower sidewall of the guide tube is recessed downward to form a receiving groove, and the electromagnet is installed on the bottom outside of the receiving groove.

[0015] Using the above method, the waste attracted by the electromagnet can be pre-stored in the container tank, avoiding the accumulation of waste on the inner wall of the guide pipe, thereby reducing the obstruction when the cleaning liquid is discharged.

[0016] Preferably, a waste box with an upward-facing opening is detachably connected inside the receiving groove, and the opening of the waste box is flush with the inner wall of the guide tube.

[0017] By adopting the above solution, the waste box that can be detachably connected to the receiving tank can not only prevent the waste from contacting the inner wall of the receiving tank to keep the receiving tank clean, but also make it easy to clean the waste that has been adsorbed, thereby further improving work efficiency and convenience.

[0018] Preferably, the opening of the waste box has a gripping plate extending along the length of the guide tube on the side near the outlet of the guide tube, with the end of the gripping plate away from the waste box extending beyond the outlet of the guide tube.

[0019] By adopting the above solution, the gripping plate makes it easier for workers to remove the waste box from the receiving slot, further improving operational efficiency and convenience.

[0020] Preferably, the inner wall of the guide tube is provided with a relief groove for the gripping plate to engage, so that the upper surface of the gripping plate can be flush with the inner wall of the guide tube.

[0021] By adopting the above solution, the connection stability between the waste box and the receiving tank can be improved, and the obstruction of the holding plate to the flow of cleaning liquid can be reduced, making the discharge of the guide pipe smoother.

[0022] Preferably, the bottom of the waste box is flexible, and a pressure sensor is installed at the bottom of the receiving tank to detect the pressure change between the bottom of the waste box and the bottom of the receiving tank. A controller is coupled to the pressure sensor, and a current regulator is coupled to the controller. An electromagnet is coupled to and controlled by the current regulator.

[0023] When the pressure sensor detects an increase in pressure between the bottom of the waste box and the bottom of the receiving tank, the controller controls the current regulator to increase the working current of the electromagnet, so as to increase the magnetic force of the electromagnet.

[0024] Conversely, when the pressure sensor detects a decrease in pressure between the bottom of the waste box and the bottom of the receiving tank, the controller controls the current regulator to reduce the operating current of the electromagnet, thereby reducing the magnetic force of the electromagnet.

[0025] Using the above scheme, as the amount of waste accumulated in the waste bin increases, the pressure between the bottom of the waste bin and the bottom of the receiving tank increases accordingly, while the magnetic field's penetrating power weakens. By increasing the electromagnet's operating current, the electromagnet's magnetic force can be increased, allowing it to continue to stably attract newly arriving waste. Conversely, when the amount of waste accumulated in the waste bin is small, the pressure between the bottom of the waste bin and the bottom of the receiving tank decreases accordingly, while the magnetic field's penetrating power increases. By reducing the electromagnet's operating current, the electromagnet's magnetic force can be reduced, ensuring the electromagnet's magnetic attraction effect while saving energy.

[0026] Preferably, the bottom of the waste box has a through-hole for inspection, and the bottom of the cavity of the waste box is provided with a flexible sealing plate covering the inspection hole.

[0027] By adopting the above solution, the flexible sealing plate covering the detection hole can keep the bottom of the waste box flexible, so that the pressure of the waste on the bottom of the waste box can be converted into the pressure between the bottom of the waste box and the bottom of the receiving groove, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the pressure sensor.

[0028] This invention, employing the above technical solutions, achieves significant technical effects: by using a pumping component to draw cleaning fluid from the clean water chamber and spray it onto the surface and surrounding area of ​​the base, waste on the base can be effectively flushed into the waste collection frame, keeping the base and its surroundings clean and reducing environmental pollution. The waste and cleaning fluid in the waste collection frame can be discharged through the discharge port into the filter component of the waste receiving frame. Under the filtration action of the filter component, large particles of waste in the cleaning fluid are removed, allowing the relatively clean filtrate to flow into the wastewater chamber of the waste receiving frame, and then be recycled back to the clean water chamber through the filter holes, thus allowing the pumping component to reuse it and increasing the utilization rate of the cleaning fluid. When the cleaning fluid enters the clean water chamber from the wastewater chamber, the filter holes can remove fine particles and foam from the cleaning fluid, making the recovered cleaning fluid cleaner.

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

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a waste collection device for machine tools, including a base 1, a lifting mechanism 28 disposed on the base 1, and a multi-axis cutting tool 29 mounted on the lifting mechanism 28. A waste collection frame 2 is disposed below the base 1, and a discharge port 3 penetrates through the side wall of the waste collection frame 2. A waste receiving frame 4 with its opening facing upward is disposed below the discharge port 3. A filter assembly 5 is disposed at the opening of the waste receiving frame 4, which is vertically aligned with the discharge port 3. A partition 6 is disposed inside the waste receiving frame 4 to horizontally divide the cavity of the waste receiving frame 4 into a sewage chamber 7 and a clean water chamber 8. The filter assembly 5 is located at the opening of the sewage chamber 7. Two horizontally arranged filter holes 9 penetrate through the lower surface of the partition 6. A cleaning liquid (not shown) and a water pumping assembly 10 are disposed inside the clean water chamber 8. The water pumping assembly 10 is used to extract the cleaning liquid (not shown) from the clean water chamber 8 and spray the cleaning liquid (not shown) onto the surface and surrounding area of ​​the base 1.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, to improve the pumping efficiency and spraying accuracy of the pumping assembly 10, the pumping assembly 10 includes a pumping pipe 11, a pumping pump 12, and a spray gun 13. One end of the pumping pipe 11 is located inside the clean water chamber 8, and the other end of the pumping pipe 11 is connected to the spray gun 13 through the pumping pump 12. When the pumping pump 12 is started, the pumping pipe 11 draws cleaning fluid (not shown) from the clean water chamber 8 and sprays the cleaning fluid (not shown) onto the surface and surrounding area of ​​the base 1 through the spray gun 13.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the cleaning of filter residue in the filter assembly 5, the filter assembly 5 includes a waste frame 14, filter holes 15 distributed at the bottom of the cavity of the waste frame 14, and a protruding edge 16 circumferentially disposed on the outer side wall of the waste frame 14. When the waste frame 14 is placed in the opening of the sewage chamber 7, the protruding edge 16 abuts against the upper edge of the waste frame 14 so that the bottom of the waste frame 14 can be kept at a distance from the bottom of the sewage chamber 7.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to make the discharge port 3 more accurate and reduce the probability of clogging of the filter hole 15, a downwardly inclined guide pipe 17 extends from the outside of the discharge port 3. The lower end of the guide pipe 17 is located above the opening of the sewage chamber 7. An electromagnet 18 is installed on the lower side wall of the guide pipe 17 through the bracket 30.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to prevent the waste adsorbed by the electromagnet 18 from accumulating on the inner side of the guide tube 17, the lower side wall of the guide tube 17 is recessed downward to form a receiving groove 19, and the electromagnet 18 is installed on the bottom outer side of the receiving groove 19.

[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to facilitate the cleaning of waste in the receiving tank 19, a waste box 20 with an upward opening is detachably connected inside the receiving tank 19, and the opening of the waste box 20 is flush with the inner side wall of the guide pipe 17.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the waste box 20, a holding plate 21 extends along the length of the guide tube 17 from the opening of the waste box 20 and on the side near the outlet of the guide tube 17. The end of the holding plate 21 away from the waste box 20 extends beyond the outlet of the guide tube 17.

[0046] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to improve the installation stability of the waste box 20 and prevent the cleaning fluid (not shown) flowing through the guide pipe 17 from being obstructed, the inner side wall of the guide pipe 17 is provided with a relief groove 22 for the gripping plate 21 to engage so that the upper surface of the gripping plate 21 can be flush with the inner side wall of the guide pipe 17.

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, to achieve adaptive adjustment of the attraction force of the electromagnet 18, the bottom of the waste box 20 is flexible. A pressure sensor 23 is installed at the bottom of the receiving groove 19 to detect pressure changes between the bottom of the waste box 20 and the bottom of the receiving groove 19. A controller 24 is coupled to the pressure sensor 23, preferably a microcontroller or PLC. A current regulator 25 is coupled to the controller 24, and the electromagnet 18 is coupled to and controlled by the current regulator 25. In this embodiment, when the pressure sensor 23 detects an increase in pressure between the bottom of the waste box 20 and the bottom of the receiving groove 19, the controller 24 controls the current regulator 25 to increase the operating current of the electromagnet 18, thereby increasing the magnetic force of the electromagnet 18. Conversely, when the pressure sensor 23 detects a decrease in pressure between the bottom of the waste box 20 and the bottom of the receiving groove 19, the controller 24 controls the current regulator 25 to decrease the operating current of the electromagnet 18, thereby decreasing the magnetic force of the electromagnet 18.

[0048] like Figure 8 As shown, in order to improve the detection accuracy of the pressure sensor 23, a detection hole 26 is provided through the bottom of the waste box 20. A flexible sealing plate 27 covering the detection hole 26 is glued to the bottom of the cavity of the waste box 20. The flexible sealing plate 27 is preferably made of rubber, so it has better flexibility.

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, in order to start and stop the electromagnet 18, the controller 24 is also coupled with a push-button control switch 31. When the operator briefly presses the control switch 31, the controller 24 can start the electromagnet 18 through the current regulator 25. Conversely, when the operator presses the control switch 31 for a long time, the controller 24 can control the current regulator 25 to stop the output current, so that the electromagnet 18 stops.

[0050] The specific usage process is as follows:

[0051] When cleaning the machine tool base 1, first briefly press the control switch 31 to make the controller 24 control the current regulator 25 to output current, thereby activating the electromagnet 18. Then, start the water pump 12 to draw the cleaning fluid (not shown) in the clean water chamber 8 through the water pipe 11. After the cleaning fluid is sprayed through the spray gun 13, it can wash away the waste on the surface of the base 1 and the surrounding area, so as to keep the base 1 and the surrounding area clean and reduce pollution.

[0052] After the waste material (not shown) enters the waste collection box 2 along with the cleaning liquid, it can be discharged through the discharge port 3. During the discharge process, the cleaning liquid mixed with waste material is discharged along the guide pipe 17. Under the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet 18, a portion of the waste material in the cleaning liquid can be attracted into the waste box 20 of the receiving tank 19. The remaining cleaning liquid can flow along the guide pipe 17 into the waste box 14 where the sewage chamber 7 is located. Under the filtration action of the filter hole 15, large particles of waste material in the cleaning liquid are filtered out, and the filtrate can enter the sewage chamber 7. The filtrate in the sewage chamber 7 is recycled to the clean water chamber 8 of the waste receiving box 4 through the filter through hole 9 for reuse by the pumping assembly 10, thereby saving cleaning liquid. When the filtrate enters the clean water chamber 8 from the sewage chamber 7, the filter through hole 9 can filter out fine particles and foam in the filtrate, making the recovered cleaning liquid cleaner.

[0053] During the waste collection process, when the waste accumulation inside the waste bin 20 thickens, the pressure sensor 23 detects an increase in pressure between the bottom of the waste bin 20 and the bottom of the receiving tank 19. At this time, the controller 24 increases the operating current of the electromagnet 18 by controlling the current regulator 25, thereby increasing the magnetic force of the electromagnet 18 and allowing it to continue to stably attract newly arriving waste. Conversely, when the waste accumulation inside the waste bin 20 is low, the pressure sensor 23 detects a decrease in pressure between the bottom of the waste bin 20 and the bottom of the receiving tank 19. The controller 24 then controls the current regulator 25 to reduce the operating current of the electromagnet 18, thereby reducing its magnetic force. This maintains the magnetic attraction effect of the electromagnet 18 while saving energy.

[0054] When the waste bin 20 is full, first press and hold the control switch 31 to stop the electromagnet 18 from working, thus losing its magnetic attraction to the waste in the waste bin 20. Then, use the gripping plate 21 to remove the waste bin 20 from the receiving slot 19 and clean the waste inside. After cleaning, reinstall the waste bin 20 into the receiving slot 19 and engage the gripping plate 21 on the waste bin 20 with the clearance slot 22.

[0055] The above-mentioned electronic control process can be implemented by means of the built-in program of the controller 24, which is common knowledge in the field and will not be described in detail here.
