Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of auxiliary equipment technology for CNC machine tools, and in particular to an automated vertical scraper conveyor for aluminum chips used in CNC machine tools. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing, CNC machine tools (such as machining centers and CNC lathes) have widely automated the machining process. To support this automated production and maintain a clean and safe working environment, automatic chip removal devices have become an indispensable key auxiliary system for CNC equipment. Vertical scraper conveyors, with their robust structure and strong conveying capacity, are particularly suitable for handling loose, somewhat entangled metal chips (such as steel chips and cast iron chips), and are often integrated into the bed or pit of CNC machine tools. When conveying aluminum chips, the vertical scraper conveyor is prone to jamming and stopping because the aluminum chips are highly ductile. Relying on external force, such as manual pushing, can easily cause the unblocking parts or mechanical structures to be caught in the chips and carried away, resulting in the vertical scraper conveyor jamming and stopping. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that in the prior art, relying on external force, such as manual pushing, can easily cause the unblocking parts or mechanical structures to be rolled into the debris and carried away, resulting in jamming and stopping of the vertical scraper conveyor. Therefore, this invention proposes an automated vertical scraper conveyor for aluminum chips for CNC machine tools.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An automated vertical scraper conveyor for aluminum chips in CNC machine tools includes a frame mechanism. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the front end of the frame mechanism. A transmission sprocket is rotatably connected to the inner side of the frame mechanism. There are four transmission sprockets in total, with each pair of laterally adjacent transmission sprockets forming a group. Two groups of transmission sprockets are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides inside the frame mechanism. A transmission chain is installed on the outer side of each group of transmission sprockets. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission chain. A vertical scraper is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting base. The vertical scraper is used to contact and scrape the inner bottom surface of the frame mechanism. A ventilation duct mechanism is installed at the top of the frame mechanism.

[0005] Preferably, a support leg is fixedly connected to the bottom end face of the frame mechanism. There are two support legs, which are respectively fixedly set on the left and right sides of the bottom end face of the frame mechanism. A drainage seat is fixedly connected to the bottom inside the frame mechanism. The drainage seat has a bidirectional through structure on both the top and bottom sides.

[0006] Preferably, the top rectangular array of the drainage seat has drainage filter holes, and the outer wall of the output shaft of the servo motor is equipped with a first transmission pulley. There are two first transmission pulleys, and a first transmission belt is installed on the outer side of the two first transmission pulleys.

[0007] Preferably, a toggle half-gear is installed on the rear side of the frame mechanism, the toggle half-gear is connected to a first transmission pulley, and a guide groove is provided on the outer wall of the frame mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the guide groove is arranged horizontally, and there are two guide grooves in total. The two guide grooves are symmetrically opened on the front and rear sides of the frame mechanism, and an internal spring rod is fixedly connected inside the guide groove.

[0009] Preferably, a spring component is fixedly connected inside the built-in spring rod. There are two built-in spring rods, which are symmetrically fixed in two guide grooves. A comb support is slidably connected inside the guide groove.

[0010] Preferably, there are two combing supports, and a connecting bracket is fixedly connected to the top of each combing support. The main body of the connecting bracket is a U-shaped structure with a one-way opening at the bottom. A guide tooth row is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the combing support located on the rear side.

[0011] Preferably, the guide tooth row meshes with the actuating half gear, the guide tooth row is fixedly connected to the built-in spring rod, and when the actuating half gear is in the meshing transmission state with the guide tooth row, the built-in spring rod is in the state of being squeezed close by the comb support.

[0012] Preferably, a combing pusher is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting bracket. The combing pusher is used to comb the residue remaining on the vertical scraper. The second transmission pulley and the transmission sprocket located on the right side are coaxially arranged.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting bracket is fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame mechanism, a second transmission pulley is coaxially mounted on the front end of the connecting bracket, a second transmission belt is also mounted on the outer side of the two second transmission pulleys, a drive gear is mounted on the rear side of the second transmission pulley, a wind tunnel mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of the frame mechanism at an incline, a filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner side of the wind tunnel mechanism, a feeding fan blade is rotatably connected inside the filter screen, a driven gear is mounted on the top of the feeding fan blade, and the driven gear meshes with the drive gear for transmission.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. In this invention, a highly efficient and stable automated aluminum chip conveying system is constructed by setting core components such as a servo motor, transmission sprocket, transmission chain, mounting base plate, and vertical scraper. The servo motor serves as the power source, and its output shaft transmits power to the transmission sprocket via the transmission chain, causing the transmission chain to circulate within the frame mechanism. The mounting base plate is fixed to the outer wall of the transmission chain, and the vertical scraper mounted on it maintains close contact with the bottom surface inside the frame mechanism, continuously moving horizontally along the bottom surface under the drive of the chain. This structural design allows the chips generated during CNC machine tool processing to be scraped and pushed forward in real time by the vertical scraper, achieving continuous and automated conveying of aluminum chips. Compared with traditional manual cleaning or simple mechanical pushing methods, this device not only significantly reduces labor input but also... To mitigate operational risks, the coordinated operation of the mechanical structure ensures that the aluminum chip conveying process is unaffected by human intervention, improving overall operational efficiency and stability. The vertical scraper's close-fitting design enhances its ability to capture loose aluminum chips, especially for ductile and easily adhered aluminum materials, effectively preventing chip residue or accumulation in the conveying path. Furthermore, this conveying mechanism can be well coordinated with the CNC machine tool's processing rhythm, achieving immediate chip removal and preventing chip accumulation from adversely affecting machine tool processing accuracy and workpiece surface quality. Through the organic coordination of the above components, this device not only improves the automation level of aluminum chip conveying but also enhances the system's adaptability to the physical properties of aluminum chips, providing a reliable mechanical foundation for solving the problems of blockage and retention in the aluminum chip conveying process.

[0015] 2. In this invention, an auxiliary cleaning mechanism is provided, including a half-gear, a guide gear, a built-in spring rod, a combing support, and a combing pusher. The half-gear is coaxially connected to one of the first transmission pulleys and rotates periodically, forming an intermittent meshing transmission with the guide gear. When the half-gear meshes with the guide gear, it pushes the guide gear and the combing support fixedly connected to it to slide laterally along the guide groove, while simultaneously compressing the built-in spring rod to store energy. When the meshing disengages, the built-in spring rod releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the combing support to reset in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the automatic reciprocating motion of the combing support. The combing support drives the combing pusher at its bottom to move synchronously through the connecting bracket, causing the combing pusher to reciprocate and scrape the surface of the vertical scraper, promptly removing the debris adhering to the vertical scraper. This design cleverly utilizes an existing power source to achieve real-time self-cleaning of the vertical scraper's working surface through a combination of mechanical transmission and an elastic reset mechanism, eliminating the need for additional power or manual intervention. This mechanism not only effectively prevents aluminum chips from adhering and accumulating on the vertical scraper, avoiding problems such as increased pushing resistance, chain load increase, or even jamming and shutdown due to thickened chip layers, but also eliminates the potential risk of tools or personnel being caught in the conveying mechanism in traditional cleaning methods. By continuously keeping the vertical scraper's working surface clean, this device ensures the smoothness and continuity of aluminum chip conveying, significantly improving the system's reliability and stability during long-term operation, and is especially suitable for automated processing scenarios of easily sticky materials such as aluminum chips.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Example, refer to Figure 1 - Figure 8 A CNC machine tool automated aluminum chip vertical scraper conveyor (type 2013) includes a frame mechanism 1. A servo motor 2 is fixedly connected to the front end of the frame mechanism 1. A transmission sprocket 201 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the frame mechanism 1. There are four transmission sprockets 201, with each pair of laterally adjacent transmission sprockets 201 forming a group. Two groups of transmission sprockets 201 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides inside the frame mechanism 1. A transmission chain 2011 is installed on the outer side of each group of transmission sprockets 201. A mounting base plate 2012 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission chain 2011. A vertical scraper 2013 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting base plate 2012. The straight scraper 2013 is used to contact the inner bottom surface of the frame mechanism 1 and scrape. The top of the frame mechanism 1 is equipped with a duct mechanism 6. By adopting the above technical solution, the overall frame can be supported and placed stably. The drainage seat 1011 and drainage filter hole 1012 at the bottom of the support leg 101 help to drain the accumulated water. The support leg 101 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the frame mechanism 1. There are two support legs 101. The two support legs 101 are fixedly set on the left and right sides of the bottom surface of the frame mechanism 1 respectively. The drainage seat 1011 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the frame mechanism 1. The drainage seat 1011 has a bidirectional through structure on both the upper and lower sides.

[0020] Furthermore, the top rectangular array of the drainage seat 1011 is provided with drainage filter holes 1012. The outer wall of the output shaft of the servo motor 2 is equipped with a first transmission pulley 3. There are two first transmission pulleys 3. The outer sides of the two first transmission pulleys 3 are equipped with first transmission belts 301. The rear side of the frame mechanism 1 is equipped with a toggle half gear 3011. The toggle half gear 3011 is connected to one of the first transmission pulleys 3. The outer wall of the frame mechanism 1 is provided with a guide groove 3012. By adopting the above technical solution, the function of providing power to the mechanism and driving the transmission sprocket 201 and transmission chain 2011 to move is realized. The mounting base plate 2012 and the vertical scraper 2013 can perform corresponding scraping or pushing actions. The guide groove 3012 is arranged horizontally. There are two guide grooves 3012. The two guide grooves 3012 are symmetrically opened on the front and rear sides of the frame mechanism 1. The interior of the guide groove 3012 is fixedly connected with a built-in spring rod 3013.

[0021] Furthermore, a spring component is fixedly connected inside the built-in spring rod 3013. There are two built-in spring rods 3013, which are symmetrically fixedly arranged in two guide grooves 3012. A combing support 4 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 3012. There are two combing supports 4, and a connecting bracket 4011 is fixedly connected to the top of each combing support 4. The main body of the connecting bracket 4011 is a U-shaped structure with a one-way opening at the bottom. A guide tooth row is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the combing support 4 located on the rear side. 401. By adopting the above technical solution, power is transmitted through the first transmission belt 301, and the intermittent turning or resetting function is completed by the cooperation of the actuating half gear 3011, the guide groove 3012 and the built-in spring rod 3013. The guide tooth row 401 meshes with the actuating half gear 3011 for transmission, and the guide tooth row 401 is fixedly connected to the built-in spring rod 3013. When the actuating half gear 3011 is in the state of meshing with the guide tooth row 401, the built-in spring rod 3013 is in the state of being squeezed by the comb support 4.

[0022] Furthermore, a combing pusher plate 4012 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting bracket 4011. The combing pusher plate 4012 is used to comb the residue remaining on the vertical scraper plate 2013. The second transmission pulley 5 and the transmission sprocket 201 located on the right side are coaxially arranged. By adopting the above technical solution, the function of guiding and combing materials or workpieces is realized. The guide tooth row 401 completes directional pushing or sorting through the cooperation of the connecting bracket 4011 and the combing pusher plate 4012. A connecting guide frame 5011 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the frame mechanism 1. A second transmission pulley 5 is coaxially mounted on the front end of the bracket 4011. A second transmission belt 501 is also mounted on the outer side of the two second transmission pulleys 5. A drive gear 5012 is mounted on the rear side of the second transmission pulleys 5. A wind tunnel mechanism 6 is obliquely and fixedly connected to the top of the frame mechanism 1. A filter screen 601 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the wind tunnel mechanism 6. A feeding fan blade 6011 is rotatably connected inside the filter screen 601. A driven gear 6012 is mounted on the top of the feeding fan blade 6011. The driven gear 6012 meshes with the drive gear 5012 for transmission.

[0023] In operation, when the CNC machine tool generates aluminum chips during processing, these chips fall into the frame mechanism 1 of the conveyor. At this time, the servo motor 2 located at the front end of the frame mechanism 1 starts, and the output shaft of the servo motor 2 drives the first transmission pulley 3 mounted on it to rotate. The first transmission pulley 3 transmits power to another first transmission pulley 3 through the first transmission belt 301, thereby realizing synchronous power transmission. The actuating half gear 3011, which is coaxially connected to one of the first transmission pulleys 3, rotates accordingly. During the rotation, the teeth of the actuating half gear 3011 periodically engage with the guide tooth row 401. When engagement occurs, the actuating half gear 3011 pushes the guide tooth row 401 to move horizontally, and the guide tooth row 401 and the comb... The carding support 4 is fixedly connected, thereby driving the carding support 4 to slide within the guide groove 3012. The movement of the carding support 4 compresses the built-in spring rod 3013, causing the internal spring to store elastic potential energy. When the actuating half gear 3011 continues to rotate to its toothless region, the engagement with the guide gear row 401 is disengaged. At this time, the elastic potential energy stored in the built-in spring rod 3013 is released, pushing the carding support 4 to reverse and reset. This achieves the reciprocating linear motion of the carding support 4 within the guide groove 3012. A connecting bracket 4011 is fixedly connected to the top of the carding support 4, and a carding push plate 4012 is installed at the bottom of the connecting bracket 4011. The carding push plate 4012 scrapes and cleans the surface of the vertical scraper 2013 as the carding support 4 reciprocates. The aluminum shavings and residues adhering to the vertical scraper 2013 are promptly removed to prevent them from agglomerating on the surface of the vertical scraper 2013 due to their high ductility, thus maintaining the effective working state of the vertical scraper 2013. On the other hand, the power of the servo motor 2 is simultaneously transmitted to the transmission sprocket 201 through the first transmission pulley 3 and the first transmission belt 301. There are four transmission sprockets 201 in total, with each pair of laterally adjacent transmission sprockets 201 forming a group. The two groups of transmission sprockets 201 are located on the front and rear sides inside the frame mechanism 1, forming a symmetrical arrangement. The rotation of the transmission sprocket 201 drives the transmission chain 2011 mounted on it to rotate in a cycle. A mounting base plate 2012 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission chain 2011. The outer side of the mounting base plate 2012... A vertical scraper 2013 is installed, with its bottom in contact with the inner bottom surface of the frame mechanism 1. Driven by the transmission chain 2011, the vertical scraper 2013 moves forward along the bottom of the frame mechanism 1, thereby continuously scraping and conveying the aluminum chips deposited on the bottom surface, achieving directional conveying of the aluminum chips. During the conveying process, the support legs 101 at the bottom of the frame mechanism 1 provide stable support for the overall structure, while the drainage seat 1011 inside the frame mechanism 1 and the drainage filter holes 1012 formed by the rectangular array at its top can effectively remove cutting fluid or coolant that may seep in during processing, keeping the inside of the conveyor dry and reducing the possibility of aluminum chips sticking together due to moisture. To further improve the smoothness of aluminum chip conveying, this device is also equipped with an airflow auxiliary mechanism.The mechanism consists of a second transmission pulley 5, a second transmission belt 501, a drive gear 5012, a driven gear 6012, and a duct mechanism 6. The transmission sprocket 201 on the right side is coaxially mounted with the second transmission pulley 5. When the transmission sprocket 201 rotates, it drives the second transmission pulley 5 to rotate synchronously. The second transmission pulley 5 transmits power to another second transmission pulley 5 via the second transmission belt 501. The drive gear 5012 mounted on the rear side of this second transmission pulley 5 rotates accordingly. The drive gear 5012 meshes with the driven gear 6012 mounted inside the duct mechanism 6, thereby driving the feeding fan blade 6011 to rotate inside the filter element 601. When the feeding fan blade 6011 rotates, it generates a directional airflow within the duct mechanism 6. After passing through the filter element 601, the airflow acts on... The conveying aluminum shavings serve to disperse clumps, promote flow, and accelerate surface drying. The air duct mechanism 6 is fixed at the top of the frame mechanism 1 at an angle. The filter screen 601 inside prevents larger particles from entering the fan blade area, ensuring the stability and continuity of airflow generation. Through the synergistic effect of the mechanical transmission and airflow assistance, the aluminum shavings are not only effectively scraped by the vertical scraper 2013 during the conveying process, but also blown and dried by the airflow. This significantly reduces the problem of poor conveying caused by the high ductility and easy adhesion of the aluminum shavings. In addition, the periodic cleaning of the vertical scraper 2013 by the combing pusher 4012 further ensures the cleanliness of the working surface of the vertical scraper 2013, preventing aluminum shavings from forming stubborn deposits on the surface of the vertical scraper 2013. The device maintains the efficient pushing capability of the vertical scraper 2013 for aluminum chips. Overall, through a unified power source provided by the servo motor 2, this device achieves simultaneous aluminum chip scraping, self-cleaning of the vertical scraper 2013, and airflow-assisted conveying. The various functional components are organically linked through mechanical connections such as the transmission sprocket 201, gears, and belts. Without additional power input or manual intervention, it can automate and continuously process aluminum chips. This integrated design not only improves the efficiency and reliability of aluminum chip conveying but also enhances the equipment's adaptability to the physical properties of aluminum chips. It is particularly suitable for the real-time cleaning and conveying needs of aluminum chips during long-term automated processing on CNC machine tools. The entire working process demonstrates the ingenuity of the mechanical structure in terms of functional division and power distribution. Through optimized timing and spatial layout, the system efficiently integrates multiple functions such as aluminum chip conveying, cleaning, and auxiliary drying within the same system. Specifically, the frame mechanism 1, serving as the foundation of the entire device, provides ample running tracks and installation positions for each moving component through its rational internal space layout. The guide groove 3012 ensures precise and controllable movement trajectory of the combing support 4, while the elastic reset mechanism of the built-in spring rod 3013 ensures stable and timely combing action. The robust connection between the transmission chain 2011 and the mounting base plate 2012 ensures that the vertical scraper 2013 maintains structural stability and is not prone to deformation or detachment when subjected to the pushing resistance of aluminum chips. The flexible transmission method of the first transmission belt 301 and the second transmission belt 501...This design achieves efficient power transmission while mitigating impacts and vibrations caused by load fluctuations. The meshing transmission design of the half-gear 3011 and the guide gear 401 cleverly converts rotary motion into intermittent linear motion, providing periodic power input for the vertical scraper 2013. The inclined installation angle of the air duct mechanism 6 ensures that the airflow it generates acts on the aluminum chip flow in the optimal direction, enhancing the blowing effect while preventing the airflow from interfering with the movement of the vertical scraper 2013. The presence of the filter screen 601 not only protects the safe operation of the discharge fan blade 6011 but also ensures the cleanliness of the airflow, preventing foreign objects from entering the machine tool processing area with the airflow. The stable installation of the connecting bracket 4011 ensures the connection between the second transmission pulley 5 and the drive... The concentricity of gear 5012 ensures smooth and reliable gear meshing transmission. During operation, the motion states of all components are interconnected and coordinated. The start / stop and speed adjustment of servo motor 2 can be controlled according to the amount of aluminum chips generated, achieving energy efficiency optimization and matching of operating rhythm. When the amount of aluminum chips is large, the scraping frequency of vertical scraper 2013 and the cleaning rhythm of combing pusher 4012 can be synchronously enhanced to ensure that the conveying capacity matches the cleaning effect. When the aluminum chips are relatively dry or loose, the airflow assistance of the air duct mechanism 6 can be appropriately reduced to save energy. This dynamic adaptive operating characteristic allows the device to flexibly cope with different processing conditions and aluminum chip states, demonstrating good process adaptability and operational economy. From the perspective of power transmission path, the servo motor 2, as a single power source, transmits its output power in two paths through the first transmission pulley 3 and the first transmission belt 301. One path drives the half gear 3011 to move, thereby driving the combing mechanism. The other path drives the transmission sprocket 201 to move, thereby driving the vertical scraper 2013 conveying mechanism. At the same time, the vertical scraper 2013 conveying mechanism drives the second transmission pulley 5 through a coaxial connection, thereby driving the air duct mechanism 6. This power distribution method simplifies the transmission structure and ensures the synchronization and coordination of the actions of each functional unit, avoiding action conflicts or timing disorders that may occur due to the introduction of multiple power sources. During long-term operation, the lubrication and maintenance of each moving part can be carried out through centralized oiling points or periodic maintenance. Maintenance is complete, and the device is highly convenient. Overall, through ingenious mechanical structure design and rational power transmission planning, this invention achieves full automation of aluminum chip collection, conveying, cleaning, and auxiliary processing. It effectively solves common industry problems such as poor conveying and difficult cleaning caused by the good ductility and easy adhesion of aluminum chips. This provides reliable auxiliary support for the continuous and efficient operation of CNC machine tools. This device is not only suitable for aluminum chip processing; by adjusting the material and gap of the vertical scraper 2013 and optimizing airflow parameters, it can also be extended to the automated conveying of other ductile metal chips, demonstrating strong functional expandability and process adaptability. In practical applications, this device can be directly connected to the chip discharge port of a CNC machine tool to achieve real-time chip collection and transfer.By reducing intermediate transfer links, improving workshop space utilization and production process continuity, and with its modular design facilitating installation, commissioning, and future modifications, its dimensions can be adjusted or functions customized to suit different machine tool models and processing requirements, demonstrating significant engineering practical value and promising prospects for widespread application.
