TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of grinding machines, and more particularly relates to a grinding dust automatic collection device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Grinding is an effective means to improve the machining quality and dimensional accuracy of the material surface, and is often applied to finishing and secondary processing of composite material components. A large amount of grinding dust is often generated during grinding, which forms dust and easily enters the interior of the equipment, affecting the service life of the equipment and the health of the operators and the working environment. At the same time, in the process of studying the material removal mechanism of grinding, the grinding dust generated during grinding often needs to be observed. Therefore, the grinding dust generated during grinding needs to be effectively collected.
[0003] The conventional grinding dust collection method is to collect the grinding dust generated during grinding by installing a collection bag or a collection groove on the side where the dust is generated. This collection method collects less grinding dust, and the installation process of the collection bag or the collection groove is relatively complicated, the degree of automation is extremely low, and the experimental efficiency cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, the grinding dust collection process is relatively dangerous, and it is easy to cause damage to the human body and the grinding machine. The Chinese patent with publication number CN114523381A discloses a grinding machine with a waste dust recycling function, which includes a base, a workbench, a grinding table, a grinding mechanism, and a first waste dust recycling mechanism. The first waste dust recycling mechanism includes a lifting mechanism, a moving mechanism, a motor, and a dust sweeping mechanism. The lifting mechanism is installed on the workbench, and the dust sweeping mechanism includes a connecting rod and a dust sweeping head.

The dust sweeping head is located above the grinding table. The periphery of the base is provided with a dust collecting table, and the cross-sectional area of the dust collecting table is greater than that of the workbench. The dust collecting table can achieve the purpose of cleaning the collected dust.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a grinding dust automatic collection device and method that can collect the dust generated during grinding and meet the requirement of observing the collected dust.
