Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of CNC machine tool tools, specifically a chip removal device for CNC machine tools with a cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] CNC machine tools, short for numerical control machine tools, are automated machine tools equipped with a program control system. This control system logically processes programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions, decodes them, represents them with coded numbers, and inputs them into the CNC device via an information carrier. After processing, the CNC device sends various control signals to control the machine tool's movements, automatically machining parts according to the shape and dimensions required by the drawings. Therefore, we propose a chip removal device with a cleaning function for CNC machine tools.

[0003] When CNC machine tools process workpieces, excess iron filings fall downwards. For example, in a typical horizontal lathe, there is a rectangular collection box below the slide rail, a slide table on the slide rail, and a worktable on the slide table with a chuck on one side. The chuck holds the workpiece. When the cutting tool is used, the iron filings fall downwards into the collection box below, and they generally fall below the chuck, that is, where the workpiece is held. Therefore, the iron filings usually accumulate in a relatively deep place. When cleaning, it is necessary to manually bend over with a broom or other tools and pick out the iron filings from below the opening on the side of the collection box away from the chuck. Therefore, it is difficult to clean. To address this, we propose a chip removal device with a cleaning function for CNC machine tools. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a chip removal device with cleaning function for CNC machine tools, thus solving the aforementioned problems.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a chip removal device with cleaning function for CNC machine tools, comprising a slide box, a worktable slidably mounted on the slide box, the worktable being a fixed structure for supporting cutting tools, the worktable being drivably connected to the slide box via an existing drive device, one end of the slide box corresponding to the jaws of a horizontal lathe, a drive structure being provided at the bottom of the worktable, and a cleaning and storage component being connected to one side of the worktable via a connecting component, the cleaning and storage component being disposed inside the slide box, and the drive component being used to drive the connecting component to perform lateral displacement.

[0008] Preferably, the worktable has two through-type T-shaped slots, and a T-shaped slide rod is slidably installed inside the T-shaped slot. The side of the T-shaped slide rod corresponding to the lathe jaw is connected to the connecting assembly. A toothed groove is provided on the T-shaped slide rod at the position corresponding to the drive structure, and one side of the drive structure meshes with the toothed groove.

[0009] Preferably, the workbench has a side notch inside, which communicates with the inside of a T-shaped groove on the right side. A gear is installed inside the T-shaped groove, and the gear meshes with the groove. A motor is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the workbench, and the output shaft of the motor meshes with the groove.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting component includes a vertical rod connected to the lower end of the T-shaped slide bar, and a locking component is provided inside the vertical rod. The cleaning and storage component includes a scraper and an L-shaped connecting block fixedly installed on the scraper, and the L-shaped connecting block is connected to the locking component inside the vertical rod.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the vertical rod has an insertion hole corresponding to the position of the L-shaped connecting block. A vertical groove is formed on the top inner wall of the insertion hole. A spring is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the vertical groove. An insertion rod connected to the spring is set inside the vertical groove. One end of the L-shaped connecting block inserted into the insertion hole has a rectangular opening that is connected to the insertion rod. A waist hole is formed on the side of the vertical rod. A connecting block is fixedly installed on the insertion rod corresponding to the position of the waist hole. The connecting block extends to the outside of the vertical rod.

[0012] Preferably, the cleaning and storage assembly also includes two back connecting rods, multiple sets of rollers, and a storage box. Two scrapers are fixedly installed at both ends of the scraper near the gripper. Multiple sets of rollers are rotatably installed between the two back connecting rods. The storage box is connected to the back connecting rods. When the worktable slides on the slide box to the cutting position closest to the gripper, the L-shaped connecting block will be located below the gripper, and the storage box will fit against the inner wall of the far end of the slide box.

[0013] Preferably, the side of the scraper used to scrape up iron filings is an arc-shaped surface.

[0014] Preferably, the rear connecting rod has a notch at one end of the storage box, and a slot is formed on the inner wall of the notch. A protrusion is fixedly installed on the storage box at the position corresponding to the notch, and a locking block is fixedly installed on the protrusion at the position corresponding to the slot. The locking block engages with the slot.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a chip removal device with cleaning function for CNC machine tools, which has the following features:

[0017] Beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This CNC machine tool uses a chip removal device with a cleaning function. This device can save manual cleaning and is simpler, more convenient and faster than the existing cleaning method. It solves the problem that existing horizontal lathes require manual labor to bend over with a broom or tools and pick out the iron chips from below the opening on the side of the collection box away from the jaws. This solves the problem that iron chips are difficult to clean.

[0019] 2. This CNC machine tool uses a chip removal device with a cleaning function. When it is necessary to insert and install the L-shaped connecting block, slide the connecting block upward, which will drive the insertion rod to slide upward. Then the spring will contract, and the L-shaped connecting block will be inserted into the interior of the vertical rod. Then release the connecting block, and the spring will return, allowing the insertion rod to be inserted into the rectangular opening at the beginning of the L-shaped connecting block, thus locking the position of the L-shaped connecting block. When it is necessary to disassemble, simply slide the connecting block upward, which is simple and quick.

[0020] 3. The CNC machine tool uses a chip removal device with a cleaning function. When cleaning is required, after the cutting is completed, the worktable slides back to the side away from the gripper. At this time, the scraper slides inside the slide box. The scraper then scrapes up the iron chips accumulated below the slide box and moves along its arc surface to the position of the roller. As the iron chips accumulate, they gradually move towards the side of the collection box and are eventually collected inside the collection box, completing the collection of iron chips for easy recycling.

[0021] 4. This CNC machine tool is equipped with a chip removal device with a cleaning function. When it is necessary to remove the storage box, simply remove the storage box from the top. This is convenient, quick, and facilitates the centralized collection and recycling of chips.

[0022] 5. The CNC machine tool uses a chip removal device with a cleaning function. During the turning process, the cutting fluid washes away the chips, causing the cut chips to fall with the cutting fluid and eventually stick to the bottom inner wall of the slide box. The chip removal device uses a scraper that is attached to the bottom inner wall of the slide box to scrape and clean at the same time, which can effectively solve the problem of chip adhesion and achieve a cleaner cleaning.

[0023] 6. The CNC machine tool uses a chip removal device with a cleaning function. Since the cut iron chips are generally in the shape of twisted springs, they can be more easily scraped up by the arc surface of the scraper and then discharged above multiple sets of rollers. Since the iron chips are generally in the shape of twisted springs, they will not get stuck between two rollers and are then collected inside the collection box. This setting makes it easier to collect iron chips and facilitates secondary processing. Attached Figure Description

[0036] 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. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Please see Figure 1-11A chip removal device with cleaning function for CNC machine tools includes a slide box 1, on which a worktable 2 is slidably mounted. The worktable 2 serves as a fixing structure for supporting cutting tools. The worktable 2 is drivably connected to the slide box 1 via an existing drive device. One end of the slide box 1 corresponds to the jaws of a horizontal lathe. A drive structure is provided at the bottom of the worktable 2. A cleaning and storage component is connected to one side of the worktable 2 via a connecting assembly. The cleaning and storage component is located inside the slide box 1, and the drive assembly is used to drive the connecting assembly to perform lateral displacement. When the device is running, the chip removal device clamps the cutting tool. Holden in the jaws of a horizontal lathe, the drive unit moves the worktable 2 to slide on the slide box 1, and then drives the worktable 2 to the workpiece to be processed. Then the spindle drives the jaws to rotate, and the cutting tool turns the workpiece. The chips fall downward. After the turning is completed, the worktable 2 slides away from the jaws. Then, when the worktable 2 moves to the far end of the slide box 1 away from the jaws, the drive structure is activated, which moves the connecting component and then drives the cleaning and collection component to clean the chips. This device can save manual cleaning and is simpler, more convenient and faster than the existing cleaning method.

[0038] Furthermore, two through-type T-slots 16 are provided on the worktable 2. T-shaped slide rods 3 are slidably installed inside the T-slots 16. The side of the T-shaped slide rods 3 corresponding to the lathe jaws is connected to the connecting assembly. The T-shaped slide rods 3 have toothed grooves 15 at the position corresponding to the drive structure. One side of the drive structure meshes with the toothed grooves 15. When the drive structure is started, it will drive the T-shaped slide rods 3 to move laterally inside the T-slots 16.

[0039] Furthermore, the workbench 2 has a side notch 18 inside, which communicates with the inside of the T-shaped groove 16 on the right side. A gear 19 is installed inside the T-shaped groove 16, and the gear 19 meshes with the tooth groove 15. A motor 17 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the workbench 2. The output shaft of the motor 17 meshes with the tooth groove 15. When the motor 17 starts, it drives the gear 19 to rotate, thereby driving the T-shaped slide rod 3 to slide inside the T-shaped groove 16.

[0040] Furthermore, the connecting component includes a vertical rod 4 connected to the lower end of the T-shaped slide bar 3. A locking component is provided inside the vertical rod 4. The cleaning and storage component includes a scraper 7 and an L-shaped connecting block 6 fixedly installed on the scraper 7. The L-shaped connecting block 6 is connected to the locking component inside the vertical rod 4. By setting the locking component, the scraper 7 can be quickly removed from the lower end of the vertical rod 4 for cleaning.

[0041] Furthermore, an insertion hole 5 is provided at the lower end of the vertical rod 4 corresponding to the position of the L-shaped connecting block 6. A vertical groove 22 is provided on the top inner wall of the insertion hole 5. A spring 14 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the vertical groove 22. An insertion rod 13 connected to the spring 14 is provided inside the vertical groove 22. One end of the L-shaped connecting block 6 that is inserted into the insertion hole 5 has a rectangular opening that is inserted together with the insertion rod 13. A waist hole 8 is provided on the side of the vertical rod 4. A connecting block 9 is fixedly installed on the insertion rod 13 corresponding to the position of the waist hole 8. The connecting block 9 extends to the outside of the vertical rod 4. When it is necessary to insert and install the L-shaped connecting block 6, slide the connecting block 9 upward, causing the insertion rod 13 to slide upward. Then the spring 14 retracts, and the L-shaped connecting block 6 is inserted into the interior of the vertical rod 4. Then release the connecting block 9, and the spring 14 rebounds, allowing the insertion rod 13 to be inserted into the rectangular opening at the beginning of the L-shaped connecting block 6, thus locking the position of the L-shaped connecting block 6. When it is necessary to disassemble, simply slide the connecting block 9 upward, which is simple and quick.

[0042] Furthermore, the cleaning and storage assembly also includes two back connecting rods 10, multiple sets of rollers 11, and a storage box 12. Two scrapers 7 are fixedly installed at both ends of the scraper 7 near the gripper. Multiple sets of rollers 11 are rotatably installed between the two back connecting rods 10. The storage box 12 is connected to the back connecting rods 10. When the worktable 2 slides on the slide box 1 to the cutting position closest to the gripper, the L-shaped connecting block 6 will be located below the gripper, and the storage box 12 will fit against the inner wall of the far end of the slide box 1.

[0043] Furthermore, the side of the scraper 7 used to scrape up iron filings is curved. When cleaning is required, after the cutting is completed, the worktable 2 slides back to the side away from the gripper. At this time, the scraper 7 slides inside the slide box 1. The scraper 7 then scrapes up the iron filings accumulated below the slide box 1 and moves along its curved surface to the position of the roller 11. As the iron filings accumulate, they gradually move towards the side of the collection box 12 and are eventually collected inside the collection box 12, completing the collection of iron filings for easy recycling.

[0044] Furthermore, a notch is provided at one end of the back connecting rod 10 corresponding to the storage box 12, and a slot 21 is provided on the inner wall of the notch. A protrusion is fixedly installed on the storage box 12 corresponding to the notch, and a locking block 20 is fixedly installed on the protrusion corresponding to the slot 21. The locking block 20 engages with the slot 21. When it is necessary to remove the storage box 12, it can be removed from the top, which is convenient and quick, and facilitates the centralized collection and recycling of the attached items.

[0045] Working principle: When the equipment is running, the workpiece to be processed is clamped in the jaws of the horizontal lathe. The drive mechanism moves the worktable 2 to slide on the slide box 1. Then, the worktable 2 is driven to the workpiece to be processed. The spindle then drives the jaws to rotate, and the cutting tool turns the workpiece. The chips fall downwards. After the turning is completed, the worktable 2 slides away from the jaws. When the worktable 2 moves to the far end of the slide box 1 away from the jaws, the drive mechanism is activated, which moves the connecting components and then the cleaning and collection components to clean the chips. This device can save manual cleaning and is simpler, more convenient and faster than the existing cleaning methods.

[0046] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
