TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of machining, in particular to a machine tool workbench groove cleaning device and a cleaning method. BACKGROUND
[0002] A machine tool is a mechanical device used for various cutting processes on workpieces, widely used in manufacturing to manufacture and repair mechanical parts. It is one of the indispensable basic equipment in modern industrial production, and can realize precision machining of various materials such as metal, wood and plastic. The machine tool uses tools (such as cutters) to exert mechanical force on the workpiece to perform turning, milling, drilling, boring, grinding, sawing and other operations to meet the design requirements of different products.
[0003] The machine tool workbench will accumulate a large amount of cutting chips during the working process of the machine tool. If not cleaned in time, the cutting chips will occupy the space of the workbench surface and the T-shaped groove of the workbench, and cause wear of the workbench. The workpiece placed on the workbench with cutting chips will cause machining errors. The cutting chips accumulated in the T-shaped groove of the workbench will prevent the positioning block and the positioning screw from being placed.
[0004] Currently, the cleaning of the machine tool workbench is manually done by using a broom or a brush to clean the cutting chips on the surface and in the groove of the workbench. The workbench surface is relatively easy to clean, but the cleaning of the workbench groove is very troublesome and difficult to clean thoroughly. When using a brush to clean the cutting chips in the groove, the brush bristles cannot push the cutting chips well if the cutting chips are too thick. Therefore, the cutting chips in the same groove need to be cleaned in batches, and multiple cleanings are required to ensure thorough cleaning. Therefore, the cleaning effect is poor, and multiple repeated cleanings are required, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. SUMMARY
