Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical processing, and in particular to a groove cleaning device and a cleaning method for a machine tool worktable. Background Art

[0002] Machine tools are mechanical equipment used to perform various cutting processes on workpieces. They are widely used in the manufacturing industry to manufacture and repair mechanical parts. It is one of the indispensable basic equipment for modern industrial production, and can achieve precision processing of various materials such as metal, wood, and plastic. When working, machine tools use tools (such as cutters) to apply mechanical force to the workpiece to perform operations such as turning, milling, drilling, boring, grinding, and sawing to meet the design requirements of different products.

[0003] A large amount of chips will accumulate on the machine tool worktable during the operation of the machine tool. If they are not cleaned in time, the chips will occupy the worktable surface space and the T-groove space of the worktable and cause wear of the worktable; placing the workpiece on the worktable with chips will cause processing errors; chips accumulate in the T-groove space of the worktable, making it impossible to insert the positioning block and positioning screw.

[0004] At present, the cleaning work of the machine tool workbench is done manually by using a broom or a brush to clean the chips on the table and in the grooves. The table surface is easy to clean, but the cleaning of the grooves of the table is very troublesome and difficult to clean. When using a brush to clean the chips in the grooves, the chips accumulate too much and the bristles of the brush cannot push the chips well. Therefore, the chips in the same groove need to be cleaned in batches and then cleaned multiple times to ensure that they are cleaned. Therefore, when this method is used to clean the grooves, the cleaning effect is poor and it needs to be repeated many times, so the cleaning efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a machine tool worktable groove cleaning device and cleaning method to solve the problem that when manually cleaning the worktable groove with a brush, the cleaning effect is poor and repeated cleaning is required.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a machine tool worktable groove cleaning device, comprising a plurality of base assemblies, a plurality of cleaning slide blocks and a handle assembly;

[0007] A plurality of base assemblies are detachably connected to the side wall of the machine tool worktable, and each base assembly is located at the end of the groove of the machine tool worktable and corresponds to the groove one by one;

[0008] A plurality of cleaning sliders are slidably arranged in the grooves of the machine tool worktable, the cleaning sliders correspond to the grooves one by one, and the shapes of the cleaning sliders and the grooves of the machine tool worktable match; an automatic retraction rope is fixedly installed on each base assembly, and the end of the automatic retraction rope is fixedly connected to the cleaning slider in the corresponding groove of the machine tool worktable, and the automatic retraction rope is used to pull the cleaning slider in the groove to move to the base assembly by retracting and shortening;

[0009] The handle assembly comprises a gripping rod, on which a plurality of traction ropes are fixedly mounted, and ends of the traction ropes away from the gripping rod are connected to the cleaning sliding block.

[0010] Furthermore, the base assembly includes a base, and wing panels are integrally formed at both ends of the side wall on the side where the base contacts the machine tool worktable. Two mounting holes are provided on each wing plate, and the mounting holes are used to cooperate with bolts to fix the base to the side wall of the machine tool worktable. A receiving groove is provided on the side wall on the side where the base contacts the machine tool worktable, and the receiving groove is used to place a cleaning slider.

[0011] Furthermore, a chip removal groove is provided in the accommodating groove and runs through the base transversely, and the bottom of the chip removal groove and the bottom of the groove of the machine tool worktable are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the bases has two spaced-apart ears fixedly connected to the top of the side wall on the side facing away from the accommodating groove, and the ears include two horizontally arranged support rods, and one end of the support rods away from the base is fixedly connected to a vertically upward limit block.

[0013] Furthermore, the traction rope is made of an automatic retracting rope 2 having the same structure as the automatic retracting rope 1.

[0014] Furthermore, the automatic retraction rope 1 and the automatic retraction rope 2 both include an outer shell, a rotating shaft rotates inside the outer shell, a pull rope is wrapped around the rotating shaft, one end of the pull rope is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the pull rope is fixedly connected to the cleaning slider, and a ruler spring is installed in the rotating shaft, which is used to provide rotational force for the rotating shaft.

[0015] A method for cleaning a groove on a machine tool worktable comprises the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: The gripping rod is placed on the lug, and the cleaning slider is embedded in the receiving groove of the base, so that the entire cleaning device does not occupy the space above the machine tool workbench;

[0017] Step 2: Use a cleaning tool to clean the scraps on the workbench surface;

[0018] The third step is to hold the grip rod and extend the multiple automatic retraction ropes 2 by pulling the grip rod. When the automatic retraction rope 2 reaches the limit length, the multiple cleaning sliders are pulled to perform translational movement along the length direction of the T-groove of the machine tool worktable. With the translation of the cleaning slider, the waste chips in the T-groove of the machine tool worktable are seamlessly pushed to one end of the machine tool worktable and fall down. Then, the pulling force of the manual pulling of the grip rod is controlled to be smaller than the force of the ruler spring of the automatic retraction rope 1 and the rotation of the rotating shaft, so that under the action of the ruler spring of the automatic retraction rope 1, the base drives the cleaning slider to perform reverse translational movement along the length direction of the T-groove of the machine tool worktable through the pull rope. With the reverse translation of the multiple cleaning sliders, the waste chips in the T-groove of the machine tool worktable are seamlessly pushed to the other end of the machine tool worktable, and the waste chips fall down along the chip removal groove opened on the base. This cycle is repeated to achieve the purpose of cleaning.

[0019] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0020] 1. With this solution, the cost of modifying the existing machine tool workbench is low. It only needs to fix the base to the end of the groove of the machine tool workbench by bolts, which is convenient for modification. Moreover, when not in use, the grip can be placed on the lug, and the cleaning slider is embedded in the receiving groove of the base, so that the entire cleaning device is completely stored on the side of the machine tool, which does not affect the operating space of the workbench and keeps the working environment clean and orderly.

[0021] 2. In this solution, the cleaning of waste chips only requires pulling the handle to drive the cleaning slider to move from one end of the T-shaped groove of the machine tool worktable to the other end, and then the cleaning slider is pulled back by the automatic retraction rope to move in the opposite direction, so that the waste chips in the T-shaped groove of the machine tool worktable are seamlessly pushed out to the base of the machine tool worktable, and the waste chips fall along the chip removal groove opened on the base. The cleaning slider can move bidirectionally along the groove to ensure that the waste chips can be removed at one time. This reciprocating motion method effectively covers the entire groove area, reduces the cleaning dead corners, is convenient and quick to clean, and has a good cleaning effect.

[0022] 3. The cleaning device in this solution has a simple structure, low cost, and can be maintained for a long time. Each component such as the base, cleaning slider, automatic retraction rope, etc. are independent modules, which are easy to replace or repair separately, greatly reducing the impact on the cleaning progress.

[0023] 4. Strong compatibility. When used for machine tool workbenches with different numbers and sizes of T-slots, it is only necessary to design corresponding cleaning sliders and base components for machine tool workbenches with different size parameters and adjust the number of each component. There is no need to redesign and replace the entire cleaning device, saving design and production costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] A machine tool worktable groove cleaning device comprises a plurality of base components, a plurality of cleaning slide blocks 4 and a handle component.

[0035] A plurality of base components are detachably connected to the side wall of the machine tool worktable 1, and each base 3 component is located at the end of the groove of the machine tool worktable 1 and corresponds to the groove one by one. The base 3 component includes a base 3, and the two ends of the side wall of the side of the base 3 contacting the machine tool worktable 1 are integrally formed with wing plates, and each wing plate is provided with two mounting holes 304, and the mounting holes 304 are used to cooperate with bolts to fix the base 3 on the side wall of the machine tool worktable 1, and the side wall of the side of the base 3 contacting the machine tool worktable 1 is provided with a receiving groove, and the receiving groove is used to place the cleaning slider 4. A chip removal groove 303 is provided in the receiving groove, which runs through the base 3 horizontally, and the groove bottom of the chip removal groove 303 is located on the same horizontal plane as the groove bottom of the groove of the machine tool worktable 1. The top of the side wall of each base 3 on the side facing away from the receiving groove is fixedly connected with two spaced ears, and the ears include two horizontally arranged support rods 302, and the end of the support rod 302 away from the base 3 is fixedly connected with a vertically upward limit block 301.

[0036] A plurality of cleaning sliders 4 are slidably arranged in the grooves of the machine tool worktable 1, the cleaning sliders 4 correspond to the grooves one by one, and the shapes of the cleaning sliders 4 and the grooves of the machine tool worktable 1 match; an automatic retraction rope is fixedly installed on each base 3 component, and the end of the automatic retraction rope is detachably fixedly connected to the cleaning slider 4 in the groove of the corresponding machine tool worktable 1 through a hinge 5, and the automatic retraction rope is used to pull the cleaning slider 4 in the groove to move to the base 3 component by retracting and shortening.

[0037] The handle assembly includes a grip rod 2, on which a plurality of automatic retracting ropes 7 are fixedly mounted. The ends of the automatic retracting ropes 7 away from the grip rod 2 are detachably fixedly connected to the cleaning slider 4 via a hinge 5.

[0038] Both the automatic retraction rope 1 and the automatic retraction rope 2 7 include an outer shell, a rotating shaft is rotated inside the outer shell, a pull rope 6 is wound around the rotating shaft, one end of the pull rope 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the pull rope 6 is fixedly connected to the cleaning slider 4. A ruler spring is installed in the rotating shaft, and the ruler spring is used to provide a rotational force for the rotating shaft.

[0039] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0040] When in use, hold the grip rod 2 and remove the grip rod 2 from the ear, and synchronously pull the multiple automatic retraction ropes 27 to extend through the grip rod 2. When the automatic retraction ropes 27 reach the limit length, the automatic retraction ropes 27 synchronously pull the multiple cleaning sliders 4 to translate along the length direction of the T-shaped groove of the machine tool worktable 1. With the translation of the cleaning sliders 4, the waste chips in the T-shaped groove of the machine tool worktable 1 are seamlessly pushed to one end of the machine tool worktable 1 and fall down, and then the pulling force of manually pulling the grip rod 2 is controlled to be smaller than the spring of the automatic retraction rope 1 and the rotation of the shaft. Apply force, so that under the action of the force of the ruler spring, the base 3 drives the cleaning slider 4 through the pull rope 6 to make a reverse translation along the length direction of the T-shaped groove of the machine tool worktable 1. With the reverse translation of multiple cleaning sliders 4, the waste chips in the T-shaped groove of the machine tool worktable 1 are seamlessly pushed to the other end of the machine tool worktable 1, and the waste chips fall along the chip removal groove 303 opened on the base 3. In this way, the waste chips in the T-shaped groove of the worktable can be cleaned. If there are still waste chips left in the groove, repeat the above operation to completely complete the cleaning. After the cleaning is completed, the automatic retracting rope 1 and the automatic retracting rope 2 will reel the pull rope 6 onto the rotating shaft. At this time, the cleaning slider 4 moves to the receiving groove under the pull of the automatic retracting rope 1, and the handle 2 is placed on the ears of multiple bases 3.

[0041] A method for cleaning a groove on a machine tool worktable comprises the following steps:

[0042] Step 1: The gripping rod is placed on the lug, and the cleaning slider is embedded in the receiving groove of the base, so that the entire cleaning device does not occupy the space above the machine tool workbench;

[0043] Step 2: Use a cleaning tool to clean the scraps on the workbench surface;

[0044] The third step is to hold the grip rod and extend the multiple automatic retraction ropes 2 by pulling the grip rod. When the automatic retraction rope 2 reaches the limit length, the multiple cleaning sliders are pulled to perform translational movement along the length direction of the T-groove of the machine tool worktable. With the translation of the cleaning slider, the waste chips in the T-groove of the machine tool worktable are seamlessly pushed to one end of the machine tool worktable and fall down. Then, the pulling force of the manual pulling of the grip rod is controlled to be smaller than the force of the ruler spring of the automatic retraction rope 1 and the rotation of the rotating shaft, so that under the action of the ruler spring of the automatic retraction rope 1, the base drives the cleaning slider to perform reverse translational movement along the length direction of the T-groove of the machine tool worktable through the pull rope. With the reverse translation of the multiple cleaning sliders, the waste chips in the T-groove of the machine tool worktable are seamlessly pushed to the other end of the machine tool worktable, and the waste chips fall down along the chip removal groove opened on the base. This cycle is repeated to achieve the purpose of cleaning.
