AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The cleaning process of existing horizontal milling machines relies on manual operation, which results in a heavy workload for workers and low efficiency. In addition, the increased contact area between the cleaning tools and the worktable and T-slot leads to increased friction, affecting cleaning efficiency and convenience.

Method used

Design a horizontal milling machine tool equipped with a movable chamber that can move along the length and vertical of the worktable. The movable chamber is equipped with a cleaning mechanism, including fixed and movable cleaning blocks. The position and shape changes of the movable blocks are controlled by a mechanical structure and an electromagnet, and the cleaning is automated in conjunction with an air guiding mechanism.

Benefits of technology

The automated cleaning process reduces the workload of staff, improves cleaning efficiency, avoids increased friction caused by large-area contact between cleaning tools and work surfaces and T-slots, ensures smooth cleaning, and is adaptable to cleaning metal debris of different sizes and particle sizes.
