Detailed implementation manners

[0039] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further introduced in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-9 , the metal cutting device for recyclable chips provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes: a frame 1, inside which two fixed plates 11 are fixedly connected, and there is a chip space 12 below between each of the two fixed plates 11 and the inner wall of the frame 1; the chips to be cleaned fall from the position of the chip space 12 and fall into the filter drawer 7; an observation window 2, which is hinged to the frame 1; two clamping tables 3, which are vertically and horizontally slidably connected to the frame 1, and the two clamping tables 3 are abutted and cooperated with each other.

[0041] It can be understood that: a clamping member is provided on each clamping table 3, and the clamping member is a prior art, and the workpiece is clamped jointly by the clamping members on the two clamping tables 3.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present invention: a cutting mechanism is provided inside the frame 1, and the cutting mechanism is a prior art, which includes a drill bit and a mechanism for driving the drill bit to move horizontally and lift vertically, and will not be elaborated here.

[0043] Two cleaning mechanisms 6, the cleaning mechanisms 6 are used to clean the side walls of the frame 1 and the two fixed plates 11; each cleaning mechanism 6 includes a cleaning frame 61 vertically slidably connected to the frame 1, a cleaning plate 62 horizontally slidably connected to the cleaning frame 61, and a brush 63 fixedly connected to the cleaning plate 62; the brush 63 abuts against the fixed plate 11.

[0044] Specifically, the specific sliding manner of the cleaning plate 62 on the cleaning rack 61 is as follows: Two transverse grooves 611 are symmetrically formed on the cleaning rack 61, and the two ends of the cleaning plate 62 are respectively and slidably connected to the two transverse grooves 611 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0045] Preferably, the cleaning rack 61 is in a U shape, and the side surface of one end of the cleaning rack 61 away from the connecting rod 65 is slidably abutted against one side wall of the machine frame 1; the opposite outer side walls of the cleaning rack 61 are respectively slidably abutted against the other two side walls of the machine frame 1; by the sliding abutment of the cleaning rack 61 and the side wall of the machine frame 1, the chips attached to the side wall of the machine frame 1 can be scraped off; by providing two cleaning racks 61, the cleaning of the chips is more comprehensive without missing the four corners.

[0046] Specifically, the linkage manner between the cleaning mechanism 6 and the driving mechanism 4 is as follows: A fixing rod 64 is fixedly connected to the cleaning plate 62, and a connecting rod 65 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 64, and one end of the connecting rod 65 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 44.

[0047] By driving the slider 45 to slide in the vertical section 431 through the driving rod 42, due to the connection between the connecting rod 65 and the fixing rod 64, the whole cleaning mechanism 6 will be driven to move downward synchronously with the slider 45, so that the cleaning rack 61 scrapes the chips on the side wall of the machine frame 1; by the slider 45 sliding in the horizontal section 432, the slider 45 drives the cleaning plate 62 to move horizontally on the cleaning rack 61 through the connecting rod 65, so that the brush 63 cleans the chips on the fixing plate 11.

[0048] The driving mechanism 4 is used to drive the clamping table 3 to move vertically downward first and then horizontally, so that the clamping table 3 is located below the fixing plate 11; a double-sided toothed plate 46 is vertically slidably connected to the machine frame 1, and the double-sided toothed plate 46 has a first stroke and a second stroke in the process of vertical sliding:

[0049] In the first stroke: The two clamping tables 3 move vertically downward synchronously, and at the same time drive the two cleaning racks 61 to move downward synchronously to clean the chips on the inner wall of the machine frame 1;

[0050] In the second stroke: The two clamping tables 3 move horizontally and away from each other respectively, and the two clamping tables 3 respectively move to below the two fixing plates 11 in a one-to-one correspondence, and at the same time drive the two cleaning plates 62 to move horizontally on the two cleaning racks 61 in a one-to-one correspondence to clean the chips on the two fixing plates 11 and drop the chips into the lower chip space 12.

[0051] Specifically, the driving mechanism 4 includes two driving units. Each driving unit includes a first gear 41 rotatably connected to the frame 1. A driving rod 42 is fixedly connected to the first gear 41. A through groove is formed in the driving rod 42. A limiting plate 43 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and a limiting groove is formed in the limiting plate 43. Specifically, the limiting groove is composed of a vertical section 431 and a horizontal section 432 connected to each other. A connecting rod 44 is slidably connected in the through groove and the limiting groove. The connecting rod 44 is fixedly connected to the clamping table 3. Both first gears 41 are engaged with a double-sided toothed plate 46.

[0052] Specifically, a slider 45 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 44, and the slider 45 is slidably connected in the limiting groove.

[0053] Preferably: The slider 45 is a cube, and the length of the slider 45 is equal to the width of the vertical section 431; the height of the slider 45 is equal to the height of the horizontal section 432.

[0054] The first gear 41 drives the driving rod 42 to rotate synchronously. Under the abutting action of the inner wall of the through groove on the driving rod 42 and the connecting rod 44, the slider 45 is driven to slide in the vertical section 431 and the horizontal section 432 in sequence.

[0055] Preferably, it further includes two rotating mechanisms 5. The rotating mechanism 5 is used to drive the clamping table 3 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the chips on the clamping table 3 fall due to gravity. Each rotating mechanism 5 includes a worm gear 51 fixedly connected to the connecting rod 44. A worm 52 is rotatably connected to the slider 45. The worm 52 is engaged with the worm gear 51. A second gear 53 is fixedly connected to the worm 52. A rack 54 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The second gear 53 is engaged with the rack 54. The worm 52 drives the worm gear 51 to rotate, and the worm gear 51 drives the connecting rod 44 to rotate, so as to realize the rotation of the clamping table 3. Among them, due to the self-locking property of the worm 52 and the worm gear 51, only the worm 52 can drive the worm gear 51 to rotate, and the worm gear 51 cannot drive the worm 52 to rotate, so that: when the second gear 53 is not engaged with the rack 54, the connecting rod 44 cannot rotate on the slider 45, that is: the clamping table 3 does not rotate.

[0056] Preferably: A filter drawer 7 is slidably connected to the frame 1. A plurality of filter holes 71 are formed in the filter drawer 7. Through the filtration of the filter holes 71, the chips cleaned can be retained in the filter drawer 7, and the cutting fluid flows down from the filter holes 71 and is located inside the frame 1, and can be reused for the cutting fluid. A handle 72 is fixedly connected to the filter drawer 7.

[0057] Only some exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described above by way of illustration. Without doubt, for those of ordinary skill in the art, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
