Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of entanglement debris cleaning, and in particular to a entanglement debris cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] During the drilling process in a machining center, the phenomenon of swarf being entangled with the tool often occurs. In the process of realizing the invention, the inventor discovered that the swarf of the tool is generally a long curved steel belt, which is easy to be entangled with the tool. The inventor believes that this phenomenon has the following hazards: First, the swarf of the tool is easy to cause scratches and squeezes on the aperture of the processed parts, which directly leads to problems such as excessive aperture of the parts and unqualified roughness of the hole wall. It will also cause the tool to be squeezed and damaged, affecting the service life of the tool. Second, the swarf is generally a long curved steel wire. If it is not cleared in time, it is easy to bounce onto other parts during the synchronous rotation with the tool, affecting the normal operation of other parts and even injuring the operator. Summary of the invention

[0003] The inventor has been engaged in mechanical processing for many years. After discovering the above problems, he has conducted exploration and research with the aim of proposing a chip removal device that can automatically remove chips from the tool, ensure tool processing accuracy, and increase tool life.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve its purpose is: a debris removal device, including a base, characterized in that a tool detection module and two cleaning brushes arranged in parallel are provided above the base; the tool detection module includes a transmitting end and a receiving end arranged opposite to each other, and the transmitting end and the receiving end are separated by the tool to be detected.

[0005] Preferably, the transmitting end and the receiving end are an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver respectively, and the receiving end receives infrared rays emitted by the transmitting end.

[0006] The upper surface of the base is a concave structure, including two protrusions. The transmitting end and the receiving end of the tool detection module are respectively arranged on the two protrusions opposite to each other. The transmitting end and the receiving end are respectively an infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver, and the receiving end receives the infrared rays emitted by the transmitting end.

[0007] Before the tool is put into operation, the tool is first inspected for broken tools. The control system controls the tool to move between the transmitting end and the receiving end of the tool detection module. The infrared rays emitted by the tool to be detected and the transmitting end are perpendicular to each other. If the end of the tool is broken, the length of the tool is not enough to pass the infrared rays emitted by the transmitting end. In this case, the tool does not need to be cleared. This method avoids the need to clear the broken tool, improves work efficiency, and replaces and maintains the damaged tool in a timely manner, which is convenient for subsequent operations.

[0008] If the end of the tool passes through infrared rays, it proves that the tool is intact. In this case, the tool is cleared of entangled chips. The tool passes through infrared rays, which affects the signal received by the receiving end. At this time, the receiving end feeds back the detection information to the control system. The control system controls the tool to move to the gap between two cleaning brushes set in parallel. The entangled chips on the tool have a certain deflection and can be wrapped around the cleaning brush. After the tool is cleaned, the subsequent work begins. This method first detects the tool, which can timely determine the use of the tool, and automatically removes the entangled chips on the tool through the chip removal device, ensuring the processing accuracy of the tool and extending the service life of the tool.

[0009] After the tool has completed its work, it is also necessary to detect the tool breakage to determine whether the tool is broken. According to the tool usage, the tool should be promptly cleared of chips or replaced for maintenance to facilitate subsequent operations.

[0010] Preferably, the tool detection module is arranged on the base through a foot, and the foot is provided with a vertical through hole, so that the tool detection module can be adjusted up and down as needed. The foot is L-shaped, wherein the shorter end is fixed to the base, and the longer end is provided with a vertical through hole for installing and fixing the tool detection module. The tool detection module can be adjusted up and down as needed, thereby adjusting the height of the infrared ray. It can be applicable to the detection of tools of different lengths.

[0011] Preferably, the cleaning brush includes a handle end, and the handle end is sleeved on the base to prevent entangled crumbs from falling into the gap between the base and the cleaning brush. The bushing is a T-shaped cylindrical structure with a through hole in the middle. The handle end of the cleaning brush is a smooth cylindrical structure, which is adapted to the through hole in the middle of the bushing. The cleaning brush is fixed to the base through the bushing, so that there is no gap between the cleaning brush and the base, and entangled crumbs will not fall into it.

[0012] Preferably, the cleaning brush further comprises a cleaning end, and the cleaning end is provided with steel wire bristles for cleaning the entangled chips on the tool to be detected. The entangled chips on the tool are very long curved steel strips with a certain deflection, which will be entangled on the steel wire bristles of the cleaning end. This method utilizes the characteristics of the entangled chips to make the entangled chips fall off the tool automatically, thereby ensuring the processing accuracy of the tool and extending the service life of the tool.

[0013] Preferably, the length ratio of the cleaning end to the length of the tool to be detected is 1:1 to 2:1. The length of the cleaning end of the cleaning brush is equal to or greater than the length of the tool to be detected, so that the debris on the tool to be detected can be completely cleaned by the cleaning brush.

[0014] Preferably, there is a gap between the two cleaning brushes. The cleaning brushes and the cutter are arranged in parallel and perpendicular to the upper surface of the base, and the gap between the cleaning brushes is used to accommodate the cutter.

[0015] Preferably, the width of the tool to be detected is smaller than the gap, so as to accommodate the tool to be detected. The tool is composed of at least two parts, each part has a different width, and the maximum width of the tool is smaller than the gap between the cleaning brushes, so that the tool can enter between the cleaning brushes and ensure that the tool will not be scratched by the cleaning brushes. For example, the maximum width of the tool is 12 mm, and the gap between the cleaning brushes is 30 mm. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] The following first describes the concepts involved in the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following description of each concept is only to make the content of the present application easier to understand, and does not limit the scope of protection of the present application; at the same time, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict. The present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0021] Embodiment 1 refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A device for removing entangled chips includes a tool detection module 1, a foot 3, two cleaning brushes 2 arranged in parallel and a base 5. The tool detection module 1 includes a transmitting end 11 and a receiving end 12, the base 5 includes at least one protrusion, the transmitting end 11 and the receiving end 12 are respectively arranged on at least one protrusion through the foot 3, and the transmitting end 11 emits infrared rays to detect the tool; the two cleaning brushes 2 are arranged on the base 5 to remove the entangled chips of the tool.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the upper surface of the base 5 is a concave structure, including two protrusions, one of which is provided with a transmitting end 11 of the tool detection module 1, and the other is provided with a receiving end 12 of the tool detection module 1. Figure 4 As shown, the foot 3 is L-shaped, wherein a mounting hole is provided on the shorter end thereof for fixing the foot 3 to the base 5, and a vertical through hole is provided on the longer end thereof for installing and fixing the tool detection module 1. The transmitting end 11 of the tool detection module 1 emits infrared rays, which are used to detect the tool.

[0023] Before the tool starts working, the tool is first detected for broken tool. The control system controls the tool to move between the transmitting end 11 and the receiving end 12 of the tool detection module 1. The tool and the infrared ray are perpendicular to each other. If the length of the tool is not enough to pass through the infrared ray emitted by the transmitting end 11, it proves that the end of the tool is broken. In this case, the control system controls the tool to change the tool. If the end of the tool passes through the infrared ray, it proves that the tool is intact. In this case, the tool is subjected to chip removal treatment. The control system controls the tool to move to the gap between two cleaning brushes 2 arranged in parallel. The chips have a certain deflection and can be wrapped around the cleaning brush 2. After the tool is cleaned, the subsequent work begins. This method first detects the tool, and can timely judge the use of the tool, and automatically removes the chips on the tool through the chip removal device, thereby ensuring the processing accuracy of the tool and extending the service life of the tool.

[0024] After the tool has completed its work, it is also necessary to detect the tool breakage to determine whether the tool is broken. According to the tool usage, the tool should be promptly cleared of chips or replaced for maintenance to facilitate subsequent operations.

[0025] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cleaning brush 2 includes a handle end 21, which is sleeved on a bushing 4 disposed on a base 5 to prevent entangled debris from falling into the gap between the base 5 and the cleaning brush 2. Figure 2 As shown, the bushing 4 is a T-shaped cylindrical structure with a through hole in the middle. The handle end of the cleaning brush is a smooth cylindrical shape, which is adapted to the through hole in the middle of the bushing 4. The cleaning brush 2 is fixed to the base 5 through the bushing 4, so that there is no gap between the cleaning brush 2 and the base 5, and the entangled debris will not fall into it.

[0026] refer to Figure 3 , the cleaning brush 2 also includes a cleaning end 22. For example, the cleaning end 22 is a wire bristle for hooking off iron filings.

[0027] refer to Figure 2 , there is a gap between the two cleaning brushes 2 arranged in parallel. The cleaning brushes 2 and the cutter are arranged in parallel and are perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 1. The width of the cutter is smaller than the size of the gap to accommodate the cutter. The cutter is composed of at least two parts, each part has a different width, and the maximum width of the cutter is smaller than the size of the gap between the two cleaning brushes 2, so that the cutter can enter between the cleaning brushes 2 and ensure that the cutter will not be scratched by the cleaning brushes 2. For example, the maximum width of the cutter is 12 mm, and the size of the gap between the two cleaning brushes 2 is 30 mm.

[0028] Before the tool starts working or after the tool completes its work, the tool is first detected for broken tool. The control system controls the tool to move between the transmitting end 11 and the receiving end 12 of the tool detection module 1. If the end of the tool is broken, the length of the tool is not enough to pass the infrared light emitted by the receiving end 12. In this case, the tool does not need to be cleared. This method avoids the need to remove chips from broken tools, and the accuracy of broken tool detection is not less than 98%, which improves work efficiency, avoids damage to the tool section when removing chips from broken tools, and can also replace and maintain damaged tools in a timely manner, facilitating subsequent operations.

[0029] Before the tool works or after the tool completes the work, the tool is firstly detected for broken tool. The control system controls the tool to move between the transmitting end 11 and the receiving end 12 of the tool detection module 1. If the tool is not broken, the length of the tool can be detected by the infrared between the tool detection module 1. The tool detection module detects the passing of the tool and feeds back the signal to the control system. After receiving the signal, the control system controls the tool to move between the two cleaning brushes 2. The shavings on the tool are very long curved steel strips with a certain deflection, which will be wrapped around the cleaning brush 2. If only one cleaning brush 2 is selected, there is a defect that the shavings wrapped around the cleaning brush 2 are very easy to fall off. Adding a second cleaning brush 2 can continue to wrap the shavings that fall off from the surface of the first cleaning brush 2, and the shavings that fall off from the surface of the second cleaning brush 2 are easy to wrap around the surface of the first cleaning brush 2. The use of two cleaning brushes 2 can play a role in synergistically enhancing the cleaning effect. Comparative verification shows that the use of two cleaning brushes 2 can increase the cleaning efficiency by no less than 130% compared with the use of only one cleaning brush 2. This method utilizes the characteristics of the shavings to achieve the purpose of the shavings falling off from the tool. The method is simple, easy to operate, convenient and effective.
