Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of machine tool chip collection technology, and more particularly to a machine tool chip compression and collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Machine tools are key equipment in the manufacturing industry that use cutting, grinding and other processes to shape and process workpieces. During the processing, a large amount of metal or non-metal debris is inevitably generated due to material removal. To facilitate cleaning and recycling, cutting fluid is usually used to flush out the debris and guide the mixed debris and cutting fluid into a collection device for preliminary separation.

[0003] Traditional collection devices often rely on simple filters or sedimentation tanks to achieve initial solid-liquid separation. The separated debris often falls directly into an open collection box. To overcome the problems of low space utilization and frequent cleaning caused by simple storage, some improved solutions have introduced a compaction mechanism. By compressing the loose debris in the box, the bulk density is increased, thereby extending the cycle of a single collection and reducing the burden of manual cleaning.

[0004] However, such solutions still have certain limitations: if the feed inlet remains open during the compaction process, the falling debris is very likely to accumulate on the surface of the pressure plate, causing the pressure plate to be obstructed from rising and the mechanism to jam, affecting the reliability of the system. In addition, existing devices with compaction functions usually require an independent electric or pneumatic drive unit to control the compaction action and the opening and closing of the feed inlet, which increases the complexity of the equipment, energy consumption and manufacturing costs, and limits its application in specific industrial scenarios without external power sources or explosion-proof requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the aforementioned technical problem in traditional machine tool chip collection devices, if the feed inlet of the collection box remains open during the compaction process, the falling chips easily accumulate on the surface of the pressure plate, causing the pressure plate to be obstructed from rising and the mechanism to jam. Therefore, a machine tool chip compression and collection device is provided, which uses a single motor to synchronously drive the conveying mechanism and reciprocating components. During the chip conveying process, chip dehydration is completed simultaneously, and the linkage baffle design enables automatic compaction of chips while continuously collecting them, thereby improving the collection box capacity and processing continuity.

[0006] The technical means employed in this invention are as follows:

[0007] A machine tool chip compression and collection device includes a worktable with a transfer assembly on its side. The transfer assembly includes a collection box, and an upward-opening transfer hopper is fixedly installed on the upper part of one side of the collection box. Both the collection box and the transfer hopper have inlets and guide holes on their adjacent side walls. The guide holes are located above the inlets, and the guide holes and inlets on the collection box and the transfer hopper are interconnected. Baffles are installed inside the guide holes on the collection box and the transfer hopper. The upper surfaces of the portions of the baffles extending into the interior of the collection box and the transfer hopper are sloped. When the baffles are in their initial position, a channel is formed between the portion of the baffle inside the transfer hopper and the inner wall of the transfer hopper, connecting the top opening of the transfer hopper to the inlet. A vertically sliding pressure plate is installed inside the collection box, with the upper surface of the pressure plate close to... A vertical plate is fixedly installed at one end of the transfer hopper. A reciprocating assembly is installed above the pressure plate to drive the pressure plate to move vertically back and forth. The lower apex of the pressure plate near the baffle is inclined. When the reciprocating assembly drives the pressure plate to move downward, the pressure plate pushes the baffle into the transfer hopper and closes the channel. The vertical plate is used to prevent the baffle from resetting after the pressure plate moves downward and disengages from contact with the baffle. A reset assembly connected to the baffle is provided on the side of the transfer hopper. The reset assembly is used to reset the baffle after the pressure plate moves upward and disengages from contact with the baffle. A conveying mechanism is also provided on the side of the workbench. The conveying mechanism is used to convey the debris generated by the workbench into the transfer hopper. The debris can fall into the collection box through the channel and the feed inlet. The conveying mechanism is also used to drive the reciprocating assembly to make the pressure plate move vertically back and forth.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper surface of the workbench is an inclined plane sloping towards one end, and a flow collection groove is provided at the bottom of the inclined plane. An outlet connected to the flow collection groove is provided on the side of the workbench. The conveying mechanism includes a cylinder fixedly installed on the side of the workbench. The cylinder is located below the outlet. The cylinder and the outlet are connected by a feed pipe. A discharge pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder. The lower end of the discharge pipe is located above the opening of the transfer hopper.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the cylinder is provided with several filter grooves, which are located between the feed pipe and the discharge pipe at both ends of the cylinder. A waste liquid box with a top opening is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder, and the waste liquid box and the cylinder are interconnected through the filter grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, a stirring structure is rotatably installed inside the cylinder, the stirring structure including a stirring shaft and a plurality of auger blades spaced apart on the stirring shaft; a motor is fixedly installed on the side of the worktable by a bracket, and a transmission shaft is coaxially fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor, the other end of the transmission shaft being fixedly connected to the stirring shaft extending out of the cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the reciprocating assembly includes a reducer fixedly mounted on the top plate of the collection box. The output shaft of the reducer passes through the top plate of the collection box and is coaxially fixedly mounted with a reciprocating lead screw. A mounting base is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the pressure plate, and a nut is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base. The nut is threadedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw. A driven bevel gear is coaxially fixedly mounted on the input shaft of the reducer, and a driving bevel gear is coaxially fixedly mounted on the transmission shaft. The driving bevel gear meshes with the driven bevel gear. The motor is used to drive the transmission shaft and simultaneously drive the stirring shaft and the input shaft of the reducer to rotate.

[0012] Furthermore, a support plate is horizontally fixedly installed on the inner wall of the collection box, and the lower end of the reciprocating screw is rotatably connected to the support plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the reset assembly includes a mounting bracket fixedly installed on the side of the baffle. A movable slot is provided on the transfer bucket at a position corresponding to the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket passes through the corresponding movable slot and is fixedly connected to an extension rod. A sleeve block is slidably sleeved on the other end of the extension rod. The sleeve block is fixedly installed on the side of the transfer bucket. A reset spring is sleeved on the extension rod. The two ends of the reset spring abut against the mounting bracket and the sleeve block, respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the collection box opposite to the side where the transfer bucket is installed has a discharge port, and a flip door is hinged to the discharge port. The side of the flip door away from the hinge is connected to the collection box by a pin lock.

[0015] Furthermore, two protrusions are fixedly installed on the top of one side of the collection box, and corresponding sleeves are fixedly installed on the side wall of the workbench. The protrusions are embedded in the corresponding sleeves and fixed with bolts; omnidirectional wheels are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the collection box.

[0016] Furthermore, each of the four corners of the upper surface of the pressure plate is vertically fixedly connected with a sliding rod, and a sliding sleeve is slidably fitted on the sliding rod. The sliding sleeve is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the collection box. Through the cooperation of the sliding rod and the sliding sleeve, the movement of the pressure plate in the vertical direction is restricted.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The machine tool chip compression and collection device provided by the present invention realizes the conveying and agitation of chip-containing cutting fluid by the continuous rotation of the stirring structure driven by the same motor in the cylinder. During this process, the cutting fluid is continuously separated during the conveying process by the filter tank opened at the bottom of the cylinder, so that the chips are basically dehydrated when discharged, effectively preventing residual cutting fluid from affecting subsequent processing.

[0019] 2. The machine tool chip compression and collection device provided by this invention allows the dehydrated chips to fall into the transfer hopper through the discharge pipe and slide into the collection box. At the same time, the motor drives the reciprocating screw to rotate through the bevel gear set and reducer, causing the pressure plate to move up and down in the box, periodically mechanically compacting the loose chips, significantly increasing the bulk density, thereby greatly improving the chip holding capacity and space utilization of the collection box, extending the single operation cycle, and reducing the cleaning burden. During the pressing process, the pressure plate can push the baffle to close the feed port to prevent chips from falling above the pressure plate and causing interference. When the pressure plate moves up, the baffle reopens the channel under the action of the return spring, ensuring that the chips continue to fall into the bottom of the box. This achieves continuous and stable chip collection and compaction without stopping the machine. The overall structure has strong coordination and a high degree of automation, effectively improving the efficiency and continuity of machine tool waste chip treatment. Attached Figure Description

[0043] like Figures 1 to 14As shown, the present invention provides a machine tool chip compression and collection device, including a worktable 1, with machine tool equipment (such as cutting tools, fixtures, and cutting fluid spraying equipment) installed above the worktable 1. A transfer assembly 4 is provided on the side of the worktable 1, and the transfer assembly 4 includes a collection box 41. A transfer bucket 43 with an upward opening is fixedly installed on the upper part of one side of the collection box 41. The collection box 41 and the transfer bucket 43 are both provided with a feed inlet 413 and a guide hole 414 on their adjacent side walls. The guide hole 414 is located above the feed inlet 413, and the collection box 41 and the transfer bucket 43 are connected to each other. The guide holes 414 on the rotating hopper 43 are interconnected, and the feed inlet 413 is interconnected; baffles 44 are installed inside the guide holes 414 on the collecting box 41 and the intermediate hopper 43, and the upper surfaces of the portions of the baffles 44 extending into the interior of the collecting box 41 and the intermediate hopper 43 are respectively set as inclined surfaces; when the baffles 44 are in the initial position, the portion of the baffles 44 located inside the intermediate hopper 43 forms a channel between the top opening of the intermediate hopper 43 and the feed inlet 413 and the inner wall of the intermediate hopper 43; a [missing information - likely a device or material] is installed inside the collecting box 41. A vertically sliding pressure plate 46 has a vertical upright plate 47 fixedly installed on its upper surface near the transfer hopper 43. A reciprocating assembly 48 is installed above the pressure plate 46 to drive its vertical reciprocating movement. The lower apex angle of the pressure plate 46 near the baffle 44 is inclined. When the reciprocating assembly 48 drives the pressure plate 46 downward, the pressure plate 46 pushes the baffle 44 into the transfer hopper 43 and closes the channel. The upright plate 47 is used to block the baffle 44 from reciprocating after the pressure plate 46 has moved downward and disengaged from the baffle 44. The transfer hopper 43 is provided with a reset assembly 45 connected to the baffle 44 on its side. The reset assembly 45 is used to reset the baffle 44 after the pressure plate 46 moves up and disengages from the baffle 44, that is, to restore it to its initial position. The workbench 1 is also provided with a conveying mechanism 2 on its side. The conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey the debris generated by the workbench 1 into the transfer hopper 43. The debris can fall into the collection box 41 through the channel and the feed port 413. The conveying mechanism 2 is also used to drive the reciprocating assembly 48 to make the pressure plate 46 move vertically back and forth.

[0044] Furthermore, the inner bottom surface of the transfer hopper 43 is an inclined surface that slopes toward the feed inlet 413.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the upper surface of the workbench 1 is an inclined plane sloping towards one end, and a flow collection groove 11 is formed at the bottom of the inclined plane. An outlet 12, connecting to the flow collection groove 11, is formed on the side of the workbench 1. Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 7As shown, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a cylinder 21 fixedly installed on the side of the workbench 1. The cylinder 21 is located below the outlet 12. The cylinder 21 and the outlet 12 are connected by a feed pipe 211. A discharge pipe 212 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder 21. The lower end outlet of the discharge pipe 212 is located above the opening of the transfer hopper 43.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figures 6 to 7 As shown, the bottom of the cylinder 21 is provided with a plurality of filter grooves 213. The filter grooves 213 are located between the feed pipe 211 and the discharge pipe 212 at both ends of the cylinder 21. A waste liquid box 3 with a top opening is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder 21. The waste liquid box 3 and the cylinder 21 are interconnected through the filter grooves 213.

[0047] Furthermore, a stirring structure is rotatably installed inside the cylinder 21. The stirring structure includes a stirring shaft and a plurality of auger blades 24 spaced apart on the stirring shaft. A motor 22 is fixedly installed on the side of the workbench 1 by a bracket. A transmission shaft 23 is coaxially fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 22. The other end of the transmission shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft extending out of the cylinder 21.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the reciprocating assembly 48 includes a reducer 481 fixedly mounted on the top plate of the collection box 41. The output shaft of the reducer 481 passes through the top plate of the collection box 41 and is coaxially fixedly mounted with a reciprocating lead screw 482. A mounting base 483 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the pressure plate 46. A nut 484 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base 483 and is threadedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw 482. A driven bevel gear 486 is coaxially fixedly mounted on the input shaft of the reducer 481, and a driving bevel gear 231 is coaxially fixedly mounted on the transmission shaft 23. The driving bevel gear 231 meshes with the driven bevel gear 486. The motor 22 is used to drive the transmission shaft 23 and simultaneously drive the stirring shaft and the input shaft of the reducer 481 to rotate.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figures 11 to 12 As shown, in order to improve the stability of the reciprocating screw 482 when rotating, a support plate 485 is horizontally fixedly installed on the inner wall of the collection box 41. The lower end of the reciprocating screw 482 is rotatably connected to the support plate 485 to constrain the lower end of the reciprocating screw 482.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figures 13 to 14As shown, the reset assembly 45 includes a mounting bracket 451 fixedly installed on the side of the baffle 44. A movable groove 431 is provided on the transfer bucket 43 at a position corresponding to the mounting bracket 451. The mounting bracket 451 passes through the corresponding movable groove 431 and is fixedly connected to an extension rod 452. A sleeve block 453 is slidably sleeved on the other end of the extension rod 452. The sleeve block 453 is fixedly installed on the side of the transfer bucket 43. A reset spring 454 is sleeved on the mounting bracket 451. The two ends of the reset spring 454 abut against the mounting bracket 451 and the sleeve block 453, respectively.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 14 As shown, the reset assembly 45 is provided on both sides of the baffle 44.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the bottom of the collection box 41 opposite to the side where the transfer bucket 43 is installed has a discharge port. A flip door 42 is hinged to the discharge port. The side of the flip door 42 away from the hinge is connected to the collection box 41 by a pin lock.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, two protrusions 411 are fixedly installed on the top side of the collection box 41, and a sleeve 13 corresponding to each of the protrusions 411 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the workbench 1. The protrusions 411 are embedded in the corresponding sleeves 13 and fixed by bolts 14. Universal wheels are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the collection box 41.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figures 11 to 12 As shown, slide rods 461 are vertically fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper surface of the pressure plate 46. Slide sleeves 412 are slidably sleeved on the slide rods 461. The slide sleeves 412 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the collection box 41. The movement of the pressure plate 46 in the vertical direction is restricted by the cooperation of the slide rods 461 and the slide sleeves 412.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the worktable 1 is fixedly installed with legs at the four corners of its bottom, with the lower ends of the legs touching the ground, so that the worktable 1 is placed stably on the ground. The worktable 1 is tilted to one side at 3°, and the flow collection groove 11 is opened at the bottom of the inclined surface. The surface of the flow collection groove 11 is also inclined, and the discharge outlet 12 is opened at the bottom of the flow collection groove 11. The chips generated during the machine tool processing fall on the worktable and flow into the flow collection groove 11 along the inclined surface with the cutting fluid, and are finally discharged through the discharge outlet 12.

[0056] Furthermore, to achieve separation of chips and cutting fluid, a conveying mechanism 2 is provided on the side of the worktable 1. The gap between the outer edge of the auger blade 24 and the inner wall of the cylinder 21 is smaller than the particle size of the chips, thereby ensuring that the chips can be effectively conveyed. Several filter grooves 213 are provided at the bottom of the cylinder 21. The width of the filter grooves 213 is smaller than the particle size of the chips, allowing only the cutting fluid to pass through while blocking the chips. Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a waste liquid box 3 with a top opening is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder 21. The waste liquid box 3 is used to collect the cutting fluid seeping from the filter tank 213. The waste liquid box 3 is connected to the cutting fluid circulation and purification system on the worktable 1, which can realize the recycling and reuse of cutting fluid. The cutting fluid circulation and purification system is a mature technology in the machine tool field and will not be described in detail here; Figures 6 to 7 As shown, when the machine tool is working, the cutting fluid containing debris enters the cylinder 21 from the outlet 12 through the feed pipe 211. Most of the cutting fluid quickly flows into the waste liquid box 3 through the filter tank 213. At the same time, the motor 22 starts and drives the auger blades 24 on the stirring structure to rotate through the transmission shaft 23, pushing the debris towards the discharge pipe 212. During this conveying process, the auger blades 24 continuously tumble the debris, causing the residual cutting fluid attached to the debris to be shaken off and discharged through the filter tank 213, thereby achieving the separation of debris and cutting fluid. Finally, the dehydrated debris is discharged from the cylinder 21 through the discharge pipe 212.

[0057] Furthermore, in order to collect the debris after dehydration, the transfer assembly 4 is provided on the side of the workbench 1, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the protrusion 411 is embedded inside the corresponding sleeve 13, and the same bolt 14 is threadedly connected to both the protrusion 411 and the sleeve 13. The bolt 14 prevents the protrusion 411 from moving out of the sleeve 13, thereby fixing the collection box 41 on the workbench 1. The casters at the bottom of the collection box 41 contact the ground, providing support for the collection box 41 and maintaining its stability during the collection of debris.

[0058] Furthermore, after the debris is discharged from the cylinder 21 through the discharge pipe 212, the debris will fall into the transfer hopper 43, and then fall into the collection box 41 through the feed port 413 along the inclined surface of the baffle 44, thereby collecting the debris.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figures 10 to 12As shown, in order to compact the debris inside the collection box 41, a pressure plate 46 is provided inside the collection box 41; when the motor 22 drives the transmission shaft 23 to rotate, the transmission shaft 23 drives the driving bevel gear 231 to rotate, and through the meshing transmission between the driving bevel gear 231 and the driven bevel gear 486, the driven bevel gear 486 drives the input shaft of the reducer 481 to rotate, and the output shaft of the reducer 481 drives the reciprocating screw 482 to rotate with a lower speed and a higher torque, and the reciprocating screw 482 is threadedly connected to the nut 484, and the nut 484 drives the pressure plate 46 to move vertically reciprocally along the axis through the mounting base 483.

[0060] Furthermore, when the pressure plate 46 moves to its highest position, it is located above the feed inlet 413; when the pressure plate 46 moves to its lowest position, it is located below the feed inlet 413. Once the height of the debris inside the collection box 41 exceeds the minimum height within the movable range of the pressure plate 46, the debris can be compacted downwards by controlling the pressure plate 46 to move downwards, thereby improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the collection box 41.

[0061] Furthermore, when the pressure plate 46 moves below the feed inlet 413, if debris continues to enter the collection box 41 through the transfer hopper 43 and the feed inlet 413, this debris will accumulate on the upper surface of the pressure plate 46, preventing it from entering the collection box 41. This accumulation of debris on the upper surface of the pressure plate 46 will affect its upward movement, causing the reciprocating assembly 48 to malfunction. To solve this problem, such as... Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the present invention includes the upright plate 47, the baffle 44, and the reset assembly 45. Both sides of the baffle 44 are in sliding contact with the inner wall of the transfer hopper 43. When the pressure plate 46 is above the baffle 44, under the action of the reset spring 454, the baffle 44 is in its initial position, forming a channel for debris to pass through between it and the transfer hopper 43. When the conveying mechanism 2 conveys the debris into the transfer hopper 43, the debris will slide down the inclined surface of the baffle 44, the channel, and the bottom inclined surface of the transfer hopper 43 into the collection box 41.

[0062] Furthermore, the reciprocating assembly 48 is driven by the conveying mechanism 2, causing the reciprocating assembly 48 to drive the pressure plate 46 to move vertically back and forth. When the pressure plate 46 moves downward, it contacts the inclined surface of the baffle 44 located inside the collection box 41. Then, the pressure plate 46 pushes the baffle 44 into the transfer hopper 43. The baffle 44 can drive the mounting frame 451 to move synchronously, reducing the distance between the sleeve block 453 and the mounting frame 451, and compressing the return spring 454. The baffle 44 is elastically contracted until it is completely pushed out of the collection box 41. At this time, the side of the baffle 44 away from the collection box 41 contacts the inner wall of the transfer hopper 43, sealing the channel. Thus, the baffle 44 and the transfer hopper 43 jointly block the feed inlet 413, preventing debris from entering the collection box 41 through the feed inlet 413 and avoiding debris accumulation on the upper surface of the pressure plate 46. At this time, a temporary storage space for debris is formed between the upper surface of the baffle 44 and the inner wall of the transfer hopper 43.

[0063] Furthermore, after the lowered pressure plate 46 disengages from the baffle 44, the upright plate 47 replaces the pressure plate 46 and contacts the baffle 44, stabilizing the baffle 44 in its current state. When the pressure plate 46 moves upward, causing the upright plate 47 and the pressure plate 46 to disengage from the baffle 44 in sequence, the return spring 454 rebounds and pushes the mounting bracket 451 to reset. The mounting bracket 451 drives the baffle 44 to reset synchronously. At this time, the debris in the temporary storage space will fall into the collection box 41 as the channel is re-formed. Meanwhile, the pressure plate 46 moves above the feed inlet 413, so the debris will not accumulate above the pressure plate 46, ensuring the normal use of the pressure plate 46.

[0064] Furthermore, the motor 22 is connected to an external current detector, audible and visual alarm, and control device. The motor 22 can simultaneously provide power to the stirring structure of the conveying mechanism 2 and the reciprocating component 48 of the transfer assembly 4. When the collection box 41 is not full of debris, the load current of the motor 22 is within the normal range. As the debris gradually increases, the resistance encountered by the pressure plate 46 when pressing down to compact the debris becomes the main component of the load on the motor 22. This resistance is fed back to the transmission shaft 23 through the reciprocating screw 482, the reducer 481, the driven bevel gear 486, and the driving bevel gear 231, resulting in a significant increase in the total drive torque demand, which in turn causes the motor 22 to... The operating current increases; the current detector can monitor the current value of motor 22 in real time. When the current is detected to continuously reach or exceed the preset threshold, it indicates that the debris inside the collection box 41 is full and the compaction resistance is too high. The current detector then sends a signal to the control device and the audible and visual alarm. The control device immediately cuts off the power supply to motor 22 and stops the debris collection and compaction operation. At the same time, the audible and visual alarm issues a warning to remind the operator to clean up the debris in time. This detection method indirectly judges the full state of collection box 41 by monitoring the comprehensive load current of motor 22. It is a mature electrical control application. Its specific circuit and program design are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0065] Furthermore, to facilitate the cleaning of compacted debris, the discharge port and the flip door 42 are provided on the collection box 41. When the collection box 41 collects debris, the flip door 42 is locked to the collection box 41 by the pin lock, so that the flip door 42 blocks the discharge port and prevents the debris inside the collection box 41 from falling out through the discharge port. The pin lock is a commercially available mature product, and its working principle will not be described in detail here. When it is necessary to clean the debris inside the collection box 41, the operator uses a wrench to unscrew the two bolts 14 in sequence, so that the protrusion 411 is disengaged from the sleeve 13, separating the collection box 41 from the workbench 1. The driven bevel gear 486 and the driving bevel gear 231 are separated accordingly. The collection box 41 is moved to the cleaning area, the pin lock is opened, and the flip door 42 is flipped open to expose the discharge port, so that the compacted debris can be poured out through the collection box 41.
