It is primarily suitable for machining complex parts such as plates, discs, molds, and small housings. It can perform milling, boring, drilling, tapping, and thread cutting operations. VMCs have a minimum of three axes and two-axis linkage, and can generally achieve three axes and three-axis linkage.

[0003] Traditional vertical machining centers (VMCs) generate debris and powder during workpiece processing, which accumulate on the worktable and in the protective chamber, requiring regular cleaning. Therefore, to improve machining efficiency and reduce failure rates, a device with centralized cleaning and processing of powder and debris is proposed to address this current problem. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a vertical machining center powder centralized processing device is provided. The powder debris slides along the first guide groove plate toward the left and right sides of the workbench until it slides to the end of the suction pipe. The suction pipe sucks the powder debris into an external collection device. At the same time, the moving rod performs reciprocating motion on the machine tool, driving the scraper to move inside the first guide groove plate, pushing the powder debris attached to the first guide groove plate to the two ends of the first guide groove plate, further improving the collection and cleaning efficiency.

[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] The first guide groove plates are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the machine tool close to the workbench.

[0008] There are two movable rods, which are symmetrically slidably connected on both sides of the machine tool. A scraper is set on the top of the movable rod, and the scraper is used to clean the powder debris inside the first guide groove plate.

[0009] The sliding plate is connected to the workbench by sliding along the length direction, and the lower side of the sliding plate is in contact with the side surface of the workbench.

[0010] The scraper is fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate along the length direction and is used to clean the powder debris in the T-slot of the workbench.

[0011] The second guide groove plates are respectively connected to both ends of the workbench and are used to collect powder debris in the T-slot of the workbench.

[0012] The suction pipe is connected to the machine tool, and the two ends of the first guide groove plate and the two ends of the second guide groove plate are arranged on two inner sides of the suction pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0014] The drive mechanism is arranged on both sides of the machine tool, and the drive mechanism corresponds to the installation position of the moving rod. The drive mechanism is used to drive the moving rod to reciprocate. The drive mechanism includes:

[0015] The first motor is connected to the machine tool and is externally connected to a power supply and a control panel.

[0016] The first reciprocating screw is fixedly connected to the power output end of the first motor.

[0017] The guide rod is connected to the upper part of the machine tool at a position close to one side of the first reciprocating screw rod.

[0018] Furthermore, the first reciprocating screw and the guide rod both pass through the interior of the movable rod, and the first reciprocating screw is threadedly engaged with the movable rod.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0020] The second motor is fixedly connected to the side of the workbench and is externally connected to a power supply and a control panel.

[0021] The second reciprocating screw is fixedly connected to the power output end of the second motor.

[0022] Furthermore, the second reciprocating screw rod passes through the interior of the sliding plate, and the second reciprocating screw rod is threadedly engaged with the sliding plate.

[0023] Furthermore, the first guide groove plate is shaped to be raised in the middle, with both ends tilted downward and fixed to the inside of the machine tool, and a groove for collecting powder is provided on the upper part of the first guide groove plate, and the shape of the scraper fits the inner side of the groove.

[0024] Furthermore, a T-shaped slot for collecting powder is provided on the upper portion of the workbench, and the bottom of the scraper corresponds to the position and size of the T-shaped slot on the workbench.

[0027] Furthermore, a connecting column is installed on the top of the moving rod, the scraper is slidably connected to the connecting column, and a tension spring is commonly provided on the upper part of the moving rod and one end of the scraper.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: by arranging first guide groove plates with both ends tilted downward on the front and rear sides of the workbench, powder debris generated during the processing falls into the first guide groove plates. Since the two ends of the first guide groove plates are tilted downward, the powder debris slides along the first guide groove plates toward the left and right sides of the workbench until it slides to the end of the suction pipe. At the same time, the movable rod performs reciprocating motion on the machine tool, driving the scraper to move inside the first guide groove plate, pushing the powder debris attached to the first guide groove plate to the two ends of the first guide groove plate, and the scraper pushes the powder debris attached to the second guide groove plate to the two ends of the second guide groove plate. The suction pipe sucks the powder debris out to the outside, further improving the collection and cleaning efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0036] A vertical machining center powder centralized processing device is applied to a machine tool 1 and a workbench 2, wherein the workbench 2 is connected to the machine tool 1 and includes:

[0037] The first guide groove plates 3 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the machine tool 1 near the workbench 2 . Furthermore, a portion of powder generated after processing on the machine tool 1 falls into the inside of the guide groove plates 3 .

[0038] There are two movable rods 4 , which are symmetrically slidably connected on both sides of the machine tool 1 . A scraper 5 is provided on the top of the movable rod 4 , and the scraper 5 is used to clean powder debris inside the first guide groove plate 3 .

[0039] The sliding plate 7 is slidably connected to the workbench 2 along the length direction, and the lower side of the sliding plate 7 is in contact with the upper side of the workbench 2.

[0040] The scraper 8 is fixed to the bottom of the sliding plate 7 along the length direction. The scraper 8 is used to clean the powder debris in the T-shaped groove of the workbench 2.

[0041] The second guide groove plates 13 are connected to both ends of the workbench 2 , and are used to collect powder debris in the T-shaped groove of the workbench 2 .

[0042] The suction pipe 6 is connected to the machine tool 1 , and both ends of the first guide groove plate 3 and the second guide groove plate 13 are arranged on both sides inside the suction pipe 6 .

[0043] By arranging first guide groove plates 3 with both ends tilted downward on the front and rear sides of the workbench 2, powder debris generated during the processing falls into the first guide groove plates 3. Since the two ends of the first guide groove plates 3 are tilted downward, the powder debris slides along the first guide groove plates 3 toward the left and right sides of the workbench 2 until it slides to the end of the suction pipe 6. At the same time, the movable rod 4 reciprocates on the machine tool 1, driving the scraper 5 to move inside the first guide groove plate 3, pushing the powder debris attached to the first guide groove plate 3 to the two ends of the first guide groove plate 3, and the scraper 8 pushes the powder debris attached to the second guide groove plate 13 to the two ends of the second guide groove plate 13, and the suction pipe 6 The powder debris is sucked out to the outside, further improving the collection and cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, through the automatic design of the scraper 5 and the movable rod 4, the workbench 2 of the machine tool 1 and the first guide groove plates 3 on both sides thereof are efficiently cleaned, which significantly improves the cleanliness of the production environment and the maintenance efficiency of the machine tool 1. Furthermore, the cleaning work can be carried out without stopping the machine tool 1, reducing the production interruption time caused by cleaning and improving the overall production efficiency. The powder debris is collected in time through the suction pipe 6, reducing the harm of dust to the environment and the health of operators, while reducing material waste, which is in line with the green production concept.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] An infrared sensor or a laser sensor is added to the original basis. The infrared sensor or the laser sensor is an existing technology and is installed near the workbench 2 and the first guide groove plate 3 and the second guide groove plate 13. The sensor monitors the powder accumulation of the workbench 1 and the first guide groove plate 3 in real time. When the powder reaches a certain thickness, the cleaning program is automatically started, driving the moving rod 4 and the scraper 5 to clean, and at the same time starting the suction pipe 6 to collect the powder. This mode can adjust the sensitivity according to actual production needs to realize intelligent and automated cleaning operations.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] A multifunctional cleaning head is installed on the scraper 5. Furthermore, the cleaning head only has a basic scraping function, and a soft brush or an electrostatic adsorption layer can be added to its surface. The soft brush is used to preliminarily sweep away the powder, and the electrostatic adsorption layer further adsorbs fine particles to improve the cleaning effect. In addition, the cleaning head can be designed to be replaceable, which is convenient for selecting different cleaning materials according to powders of different materials to enhance adaptability.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] Taking into account the possible size differences between vertical machining centers of different models and specifications, the modular expansion concept is adopted in the design of the device. That is, key components such as the first guide plate 3, moving rod 4, scraper 5, sliding plate 7 are designed as standard modules. Users can select the corresponding modules for assembly according to the actual machine tool size. At the same time, interfaces and expansion slots are reserved to facilitate the addition of other functional modules (such as humidity control, temperature monitoring, etc.) in the future, so as to realize continuous upgrading and optimization of the device, thereby improving the flexibility of the device and reducing manufacturing costs and inventory pressure.

[0050] Specifically, if Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, it also includes:

[0051] The drive mechanism 10 is provided on both sides of the interior of the machine tool 1, and the drive mechanism 10 corresponds to the installation position of the moving rod 4 one by one. The drive mechanism 10 is used to drive the moving rod 4 to reciprocate. The drive mechanism 10 includes:

[0052] The first motor 103 is connected to the machine tool 1 , and the first motor 103 is externally connected to a power supply and a control panel.

[0053] The first reciprocating screw 101 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the first motor 103 .

[0054] The guide rod 102 is connected to the upper part of the machine tool 1 at a position close to one side of the first reciprocating screw rod 101.

[0055] Furthermore, the first motor 103 drives the first reciprocating screw 101 to rotate, thereby driving the movable rod 4 to perform reciprocating motion, so that the scraper 5 performs reciprocating motion in the first guide groove plate 3 to scrape off the powder debris adhered to the first guide groove plate 3 .

[0056] Specifically, if Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first reciprocating screw rod 101 and the guide rod 102 both pass through the interior of the moving rod 4 , and the first reciprocating screw rod 101 is threadedly engaged with the moving rod 4 .

[0057] Furthermore, when in use, it is convenient to control the movement of the scraper 5 on the first guide groove plate 3 by the moving rod 4, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the scraper 5 and the collection of the first guide groove plate 3. Furthermore, the movement of the moving rod 4 is precisely controlled by the driving mechanism 10 and the first motor 103, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the cleaning process and avoiding potential damage to the components of the machine tool 1.

[0058] Specifically, if Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, it also includes:

[0059] The second motor 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the workbench 2 and is externally connected to a power supply and a control panel.

[0060] The second reciprocating screw 11 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the second motor 12 .

[0061] Furthermore, the second motor 12 drives the second reciprocating screw 11 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding plate 7 and the scraper 8 to move, scraping off the powder debris on the workbench 2 and pushing it to fall to the two side openings of the suction pipe 6.

[0062] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, the second reciprocating screw rod 11 passes through the interior of the sliding plate 7 , and the second reciprocating screw rod 11 is threadedly engaged with the sliding plate 7 .

[0063] Furthermore, when in use, the rotation of the second reciprocating screw 11 can drive the sliding plate 7 to move back and forth, so that the sliding plate drives the scraper 8 to slide on the workbench 2 to scrape off the powder debris adhering to the upper side of the workbench 2 and the T-slot.

[0064] Specifically, if Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the first guide groove plate 3 is shaped as a bulge in the middle, with both ends tilted downward and fixed to the inside of the machine tool 1, and a groove for collecting powder is provided on the upper part of the first guide groove plate 3, and the shape of the scraper 5 fits the inner side of the groove.

[0065] Furthermore, during use, the powder that falls into the groove can be easily pushed to the position of the suction pipe 6 due to the shape of the first guide groove plate 3 when the scraper 5 moves back and forth, thereby improving the collection effect of the first guide groove plate 3 and the cleaning effect of the scraper 5.

[0066] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, a T-shaped slot for collecting powder is provided on the upper portion of the workbench 2 , and the bottom of the scraper 8 corresponds to the position and size of the T-shaped slot on the workbench 2 .

[0067] Furthermore, during use, powder will fall into the T-slot. When the sliding plate 7 moves back and forth, the sliding plate 7 drives the scraper 8 to move inside the T-slot, pushing the powder inside the T-slot out of the position of the second guide groove plate 13, further improving the T-slot's powder collection effect.

[0068] Specifically, both ends of the T-shaped groove are arranged on the upper side of the second guide groove plate 13 , and the length of the second guide groove plate 13 is equal to the width of the workbench 2 .

[0069] Furthermore, when the scraper 8 pushes the powder inside the T-slot out of the second guide slot plate 13 , the powder inside the T-slot is unlikely to fall to other places, thereby improving the powder collection effect of the second guide slot plate 13 .

[0070] Specifically, if Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the shape of the suction pipe 6 is a "door" shape, and the inner sides of the suction pipe 6 are provided with feed ports with the same length as the output ends of the first guide groove plate 3 and the second guide groove plate 13.

[0071] Specifically, if Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a connecting column is installed on the top of the moving rod 4, and the scraper 5 is slidably connected to the connecting column. The upper part of the moving rod 4 and one end of the scraper 5 are jointly provided with a tension spring 9.

[0072] Furthermore, the tension spring 9 provides a force for the scraper 5 so that the scraper 5 is always in close contact with the first guide groove plate 3, thereby improving its scraping efficiency and effect.

[0073] How it works

[0074] The suction pipe 6 is connected to the external industrial debris collector. During processing, the generated debris falls into the first guide groove plate 3 and the second guide groove plate 13. The debris in the first guide groove plate 3 slides along the inclined groove wall to both sides of the workbench 2. The suction pipe 6 can perform the collection operation. When the machining center stops processing, the first motor 103 and the second motor 12 are operated. The first motor 103 drives the first reciprocating screw 101 to rotate. Due to the cooperation of the guide rod 102, the moving rod 4 makes a reciprocating motion, and the scraper 5 moves along with it. The movable rod 4 makes reciprocating motion. Due to the force of the tension spring 9, the scraper 5 is always in contact with the inner wall of the first guide groove plate 3. The scraper 5 scrapes off some powder debris adhering to the first guide groove plate 3 and pushes it to the two ends of the first guide groove plate 3. The second motor 12 drives the second reciprocating screw 11 to rotate, so that the sliding plate 7 and the scraper 8 slide on the workbench 2, scraping off the powder debris adhering to the upper side of the workbench 2 and the T-slot. The powder debris falls on both sides of the workbench 2 and is collected to the outside by the suction pipe 6.

[0075] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the invention and is not a limitation of the invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to this embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of protection of the invention, they are protected by patent law.
