For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a machining center waste collection device, which includes a collection cart 1, a collection basket 2, and a collection drawer 3. The collection cart 1 is movably mounted on the ground and has a receiving cavity 11. The collection basket 2 includes a basket body 21, a first buffer 22, and a second buffer 23, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the basket body 21. Both the first buffer 22 and the second buffer 23 can be inserted into the collection cart 1. The basket body 21 is located at the upper opening of the collection cart 1 and has a leakage hole 211 that communicates with the receiving cavity 11. The volume of waste that the basket body 21 can collect is greater than the volume of waste that can pass through the leakage hole 211. The collection drawer 3 is pullable or pushable into the receiving cavity 11 and has a collection cavity that communicates with the leakage hole 211. The collection cavity can collect waste that passes through the leakage hole 211.

[0029] In the machining center waste collection device of this invention, during use, the operator pushes the collection cart 1 to the waste outlet of the machining center. Both larger and smaller waste materials fall into the collection basket 2. Since the first buffer 22 and the second buffer 23 can be inserted into the collection cart 1, the impact of the larger waste materials on the collection cart 1 is reduced. The smaller waste materials fall into the collection chamber through the leakage hole 211. The collection drawer 3 can then be pulled out to transfer the smaller waste materials. This arrangement ensures that the larger waste materials remain in the basket body 21, making them easier for operators to utilize and clean, and preventing the mixing of larger and smaller waste materials, which could cause scratches during handling. Using the machining center waste collection device of this invention, larger and smaller waste materials can be automatically classified by volume. This not only facilitates the subsequent utilization of larger waste materials but also makes subsequent handling easier for operators, reducing the probability of accidental injury due to the sharp edges of larger waste materials.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first buffer 22 includes an elastic element 221 and a connecting rod 222. The side wall of the collection vehicle 1 is provided with a connecting ring 12, and the connecting rod 222 is disposed on one side of the basket body 21. The elastic element 221 is sleeved on the connecting rod 222, with one end of the elastic element 221 connected to the connecting rod 222, allowing it to engage with the connecting ring 12. The other end of the elastic element 221 can abut against the connecting ring 12. This configuration allows the elastic element 221 to rebound when larger waste materials fall onto the basket body 21, reducing the impact on the basket body 21 and generating vibration, which facilitates the falling of smaller waste materials through the leakage hole 211 into the collection chamber, thus simplifying the separation of larger and smaller waste materials.

[0031] Optionally, the elastic element 221 may include, but is not limited to, a spring.

[0032] In this embodiment, multiple leakage holes 211 are provided and spaced apart at the bottom of the basket body 21. This facilitates the rate at which smaller waste materials fall into the collection chamber through the leakage holes 211, thereby improving sorting efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the basket body 21 forms an angle with the horizontal plane. This design prevents smaller waste materials from accumulating on the bottom surface of the basket body 21.

[0034] In some embodiments, the collection basket 2 further includes a first lifting ring 24 and a second lifting ring 25 disposed on both sides of the basket body 21, wherein the first lifting ring 24 and the second lifting ring 25 can be connected to a lifting device, which facilitates the separation of the basket body 21 and the collection vehicle 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the machining center waste collection device also includes a guide plate assembly 4. The side wall of the collection cart 1 has a pull-out opening communicating with the receiving cavity 11. The collection drawer 3 can be pulled out or pushed into the receiving cavity 11 through the pull-out opening. The guide plate assembly 4 is closably disposed on the side wall of the collection cart 1 and located at the pull-out opening. The guide plate assembly 4 can magnetically engage with the collection drawer 3 or guide the collection drawer 3. This arrangement ensures that the collection drawer 3 is not easily detached from the receiving cavity 11, and that after the collection drawer 3 is pulled out, it can slide along the top of the guide plate assembly 4, preventing it from falling directly to the ground or injuring personnel.

[0036] The guide plate assembly 4 has a fixed working condition and a guiding working condition. In the fixed working condition, the guide plate assembly 4 closes the pull-out opening, and the collection drawer 3 is located in the receiving cavity 11. The guide plate assembly 4 and the collection drawer 3 are magnetically attracted to each other, which can fix the collection drawer 3. In the guiding working condition, the guide plate assembly 4 opens the pull-out opening and abuts against the ground. The guide plate assembly 4 can guide the collection drawer 3 to avoid it falling directly to the ground or injuring people.

[0037] In some embodiments, the guide plate assembly 4 includes a guide plate body 41 and a magnetic member 42 disposed on the guide plate body 41. In the fixed condition, the magnetic member 42 and the collection drawer 3 are magnetically attracted to each other, and the guide plate body 41 and the side wall of the collection drawer 3 abut against each other. In the guiding condition, the guide plate body 41 abuts against the ground and can guide the collection drawer 3.

[0038] Optionally, the magnetic element 42 may include, but is not limited to, a magnet.

[0039] In this embodiment, the machining center waste collection device also includes a forklift limiting component 5, which is disposed at the bottom of the collection vehicle 1. The forklift limiting component 5 can be inserted and engaged with a forklift, thereby enabling the entire collection vehicle 1 to be transported.

[0040] In this embodiment, the machining center waste collection device also includes multiple casters 6, which are spaced apart along the outer periphery of the bottom of the collection vehicle 1. This arrangement facilitates the operation of the collection vehicle 1 by the staff.

[0041] Optionally, the waste collection device for the processing center also includes a vibration structure, which is installed on the basket body 21 and drivenly connected to the basket body 21. The vibration structure can cause the basket body 21 to vibrate, further improving the sorting efficiency.

[0042] Optionally, the machining center waste collection device also includes a power structure, which is driven to the collection drawer 3, so that the collection drawer 3 can be automatically pulled out or pushed in.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
