Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of machining technology, and more specifically, to a machining equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During machining, the cutting fluid easily forms a large amount of oil mist under the combined action of the high-speed rotating tool, workpiece, and cutting heat. These oil mist particles are suspended within the machine tool's internal space and diffuse to various areas with the airflow. In existing machining centers, gantry machining centers, and CNC machine tools, guideways are typically located near the machining area. Oil mist generated during machining easily enters the guideway area and adheres to its surface. As machining time increases, the oil mist mixes with chips, dust, abrasive particles, and other impurities to form deposits. This not only affects the guideway lubrication but may also accelerate surface wear, reducing the guideway's motion accuracy and service life.

[0003] Currently, the problem of oil mist diffusion is usually addressed by methods such as overall machine tool sealing, oil mist collector suction, or protective cover isolation. However, these methods have problems such as complex structure, high cost, limited local protection effect, and low oil recovery rate. Especially in the local area of ​​the guide rail, it is still difficult to effectively prevent oil mist from entering the guide rail pair. Moreover, oil-water mixtures easily accumulate under the guide rail and at the sealing joints, which can easily flow back to the sliding surface of the guide rail along the gaps, damaging lubrication and accelerating wear. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a processing device to solve the problem that in existing machining centers, oil and water mixtures easily accumulate in the guide rail area during operation, accelerating guide rail wear.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a processing apparatus is provided, comprising:

[0006] The body has a slide rail, and a flow guide is provided on the side of the slide rail;

[0007] An air blowing component is disposed between the slide rail and the guide section. The extension direction of the air blowing component is consistent with the extension direction of the slide rail. The air blowing component is disposed towards the guide section to blow processing impurities into the guide section.

[0008] The waste discharge section and the air blowing component are respectively located on both sides of the guide section. The guide section is connected to the waste discharge section, and the waste discharge section is connected to the chip discharge port. The processing impurities in the guide section flow into the chip discharge port through the waste discharge section and are discharged.

[0009] This application creates a continuous airflow barrier by setting an air blowing component parallel to the slide rail between the slide rail and the guide section, thereby preventing oil mist and impurities from diffusing into the guide rail, avoiding adhesion and wear, and thus improving equipment accuracy and extending service life.

[0010] By utilizing airflow to actively guide impurities to the guide section, combined with a ridge-like structure that is high in the middle and low on both sides, and a sewage discharge section, the device achieves automatic diversion and centralized discharge of impurities, improving drainage efficiency and automation. The device is compact and easy to install, solving the technical challenge of easy contamination in the guide rail area and enabling automatic waste liquid recovery, thus reducing manual cleaning costs.

[0011] Furthermore, the air blowing component includes:

[0012] An air blowing pipe is located on the side of the slide rail. The air blowing pipe is connected to the air source. The extension direction of the air blowing pipe is the same as the extension direction of the slide rail. The air blowing pipe is equipped with multiple air blowing ports, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the air blowing pipe. Each air blowing port is directed towards the air guide.

[0013] Furthermore, the air blowing component also includes:

[0014] The mounting clip has a fixing groove, and at least part of the air tube is placed in the fixing groove. The mounting clip is connected to the machine body to fix the air tube to the machine body.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting clips include:

[0016] Connect to the main body, and connect to the machine body;

[0017] Two grippers are disposed opposite to and spaced apart on the connecting body. The two grippers are elastically disposed respectively. At least part of the fixing groove is located between the connecting body and the two grippers. The air tube is inserted into the fixing groove after overcoming the elastic force of the two grippers.

[0018] Furthermore, the flow guide includes:

[0019] The guide surface is gradually inclined towards the drain section along the blowing direction to guide processing impurities into the drain section;

[0020] The system has multiple guide surfaces, which are spaced apart along the length of the machine body, and each guide surface is connected to the sewage discharge section.

[0021] Furthermore, the sewage discharge department includes:

[0022] The drain trough extends in the same direction as the slide rail, from the middle to both ends of the drain trough. The bottom of the drain trough is gradually inclined to discharge processing impurities.

[0023] Furthermore, the processing equipment also includes:

[0024] The drain pipe has one end connected to the drain section and the other end facing the chip discharge port, so as to discharge the processing impurities in the drain section to the chip discharge port through the drain pipe.

[0025] Furthermore, the processing equipment also includes:

[0026] A protective cover is installed on the machine body. The protective cover is retractable and is used to protect the slide rails.

[0027] A guide body is disposed on the side of the slide rail, and at least a portion of the protective cover is engaged with the guide body to guide the protective cover through the guide body;

[0028] The air blowing component, the flow guide, and the sewage discharge component are respectively installed on the guide body.

[0029] Furthermore, the protective cover is provided with an clearance opening, and at least part of the air blowing component passes through the clearance opening and is connected to the guide body.

[0030] Furthermore, the processing equipment also includes:

[0031] An oil mist detection component is installed on the machine body to monitor the oil mist concentration. The oil mist detection component is connected to the air blowing component, and the air blowing component controls the airflow size according to the oil mist concentration.

[0032] Applying the technical solution of this invention, this application provides a processing device, comprising: a machine body, a slide rail provided on the machine body, and a guide portion provided on the side of the slide rail; an air blowing component disposed between the slide rail and the guide portion, the extending direction of the air blowing component being consistent with the extending direction of the slide rail, and the air blowing component being disposed towards the guide portion to blow processing impurities into the guide portion; and a waste discharge portion disposed on both sides of the guide portion, respectively, and the guide portion being connected to the waste discharge portion, the waste discharge portion being connected to the chip discharge port, and processing impurities in the guide portion flowing into the chip discharge port through the waste discharge portion and being discharged.

[0033] By placing the air-blowing component between the slide rail and the guide section, with the air-blowing component extending in the same direction as the slide rail, an airflow barrier can be formed in front of the slide rail. This barrier can prevent impurities such as oil mist and cutting fluid splashes generated during machining from diffusing into the slide rail, avoiding impurities from adhering to the slide rail surface or mixing with dust to form deposits, thereby keeping the slide rail clean, preventing accelerated wear, extending the service life of the slide rail and slider, and maintaining the motion accuracy of the machine tool.

[0034] The air blowing component is positioned towards the guide section, using airflow to actively blow processing impurities that might otherwise diffuse or settle randomly into the guide section. This active guide method improves the controllability of impurity collection, solves the problem of impurities easily entering guide rail gaps or accumulating in hard-to-clean areas in traditional passive protection, and enhances the cleanliness of the local processing environment.

[0035] The flow guide section is connected to the sewage discharge section, which in turn connects to the chip discharge port. This structural design allows impurities blown to the flow guide section by the airflow to flow smoothly into the chip discharge port and be discharged. The ridge-shaped flow guide channel structure, which is high in the middle and low on both sides, allows the liquid to automatically flow to the lower sides and be discharged through the drain holes, further improving the drainage efficiency and automation, and reducing the frequency and cost of manual cleaning.

[0036] The air blowing component is arranged parallel to the slide rail, without occupying additional axial space. The overall structure is compact and easy to install near the existing machine tool guide rail area, with good compatibility and installation convenience for existing machine tools.

[0037] This application solves the technical problem of machine tool slide rail area being easily contaminated by oil mist and impurities through optimized design, improves the working environment and service life of the guide rail, and realizes automatic recycling and treatment of waste liquid.

[0062] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0063] As mentioned in the background section, in existing machining centers, gantry machining centers, and CNC machine tools, guideways are typically located near the machining area. Oil mist generated during machining easily enters the guideway area and adheres to the guideway surface. As machining time increases, the oil mist mixes with chips, dust, abrasive particles, and other impurities to form deposits, which not only affect the guideway lubrication but may also lead to accelerated wear on the guideway surface, reducing the guideway's motion accuracy and service life.

[0064] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes a processing device, comprising: a body 100, on which a slide rail 110 is provided, and a guide section 120 is provided on the side of the slide rail 110; an air blowing component 200, disposed between the slide rail 110 and the guide section 120, the extension direction of the air blowing component 200 being consistent with the extension direction of the slide rail 110, and the air blowing component 200 being disposed towards the guide section 120 to blow processing impurities into the guide section 120; and a waste discharge section 300, disposed on both sides of the guide section 120, the guide section 120 being connected to the waste discharge section 300, the waste discharge section 300 being connected to the chip discharge port 400, and processing impurities in the guide section 120 flowing into the chip discharge port 400 through the waste discharge section 300 and being discharged.

[0065] By setting an air blowing component 200 parallel to the slide rail 110 between the slide rail 110 and the guide section 120, a continuous airflow barrier is formed to block oil mist and impurities from diffusing into the guide rail, thus avoiding adhesion and wear, thereby improving equipment accuracy and extending service life.

[0066] By utilizing airflow to actively guide impurities to the guide section and the discharge section, the device achieves automatic diversion and centralized discharge of impurities, improving drainage efficiency and automation. The device is compact and easy to install, solving the technical challenge of easy contamination in the guide rail area and enabling automatic waste liquid recovery, thus reducing manual cleaning costs.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 1 to 14 This application provides a processing apparatus, comprising:

[0068] The body 100 is provided with a slide rail 110 and a guide section 120 is provided on the side of the slide rail 110.

[0069] An air blowing component 200 is disposed between the slide rail 110 and the guide section 120. The extending direction of the air blowing component 200 is consistent with the extending direction of the slide rail 110. The air blowing component 200 is disposed toward the guide section 120 to blow processing impurities into the guide section 120.

[0070] The waste discharge section 300 and the air blowing component 200 are respectively arranged on both sides of the guide section 120. The guide section 120 is connected to the waste discharge section 300 and the waste discharge section 300 is connected to the chip discharge port 400. The processing impurities in the guide section 120 flow into the chip discharge port 400 through the waste discharge section 300 and are discharged.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 5 and Figure 12 As shown, a slide rail 110 is installed on the body 100 of the processing equipment to support and guide the movement of the machine tool components. A guide section 120 is arranged on the side of the slide rail 110 to guide the oil flow.

[0072] The air blowing component 200 is arranged parallel between the slide rail 110 and the guide section 120. Its extension direction is consistent with the extension direction of the slide rail 110, and the air blowing direction is towards the guide section 120. The air blowing component 200 can be fixed to the base by air pipe clips and screws to avoid interference with the slider or accordion cover.

[0073] The waste discharge section 300 is located on the side of the guide section 120 away from the air blowing component 200, enabling fluid communication between the guide section 120 and the waste discharge section 300. The waste discharge section 300 is further connected to the chip discharge port 400. The processing impurities collected in the guide section 120 flow along the guide section 120 to the lower sides under the action of gravity, enter the waste discharge section 300 through the drain hole, and finally flow into the chip discharge port 400 through the waste discharge section 300 and be discharged to the external recycling system.

[0074] By setting an air blowing component 200 parallel to the slide rail between the slide rail 110 and the guide section 120, a continuous airflow barrier is formed to prevent oil mist and cutting fluid from splashing and spreading into the slide rail, thus avoiding the adhesion of impurities and wear on the guide rail, thereby maintaining the machine tool's motion accuracy and extending the service life of the slide rail and slider.

[0075] The air blowing component 200 actively guides impurities to the guide section 120, which in turn guides the oil to the drain section 300. From there, the oil is smoothly introduced into the chip discharge port 400, achieving centralized and automatic discharge of impurities, improving drainage efficiency, and reducing manual cleaning costs. Furthermore, this compact structure does not occupy additional axial space, making it easy to adapt to existing machine tools and improving the clean working environment.

[0076] Specifically, the air blowing component 200 includes:

[0077] An air blowing pipe 210 is located on the side of the slide rail 110. The air blowing pipe 210 is connected to an air source. The extension direction of the air blowing pipe 210 is consistent with the extension direction of the slide rail 110. The air blowing pipe 210 is provided with multiple air blowing ports 211. The multiple air blowing ports 211 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the air blowing pipe 210. Each air blowing port 211 is directed towards the air guide section 120.

[0078] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the air blowing component 200 specifically includes an air blowing pipe 210, which is arranged parallel to the side of the slide rail 110 and extends in the same direction as the slide rail 110. One end of the air blowing pipe 210 is connected to an external air source to receive compressed air.

[0079] Multiple air inlets 211 are spaced apart along the length of the air inlet pipe 210. These air inlets 211 are evenly distributed and open toward the guide section 120. When compressed air is supplied by the air source, the airflow passes through the interior of the air inlet pipe 210 and is ejected from each air inlet 211, forming a continuous and uniform airflow barrier between the slide rail 110 and the guide section 120.

[0080] By setting multiple air inlets 211 that are spaced apart along the extension direction and facing the airflow guide 120, the air pipe 210 can form a continuous air curtain covering the entire length of the guide rail in front of the slide rail 110.

[0081] This uniformly distributed jet structure not only enhances the blocking effect against oil mist and cutting fluid splashes, preventing impurities from entering the slide rail 110 and causing wear and precision reduction, but also uses airflow to actively and evenly blow impurities into the guide section 120.

[0082] This directional flow guidance improves the controllability and efficiency of impurity collection. Combined with the subsequent sewage discharge section 300 and chip discharge port 400, it enables rapid cleaning of processing impurities and effective recovery of waste liquid, thereby keeping the guide rail area clean and extending the service life of the machine tool.

[0083] Specifically, the air blowing component 200 also includes:

[0084] The mounting clip 220 has a fixing groove 221. At least a portion of the air blowing pipe 210 is disposed in the fixing groove 221. The mounting clip 220 is connected to the body 100 to fix the air blowing pipe 210 to the body 100.

[0085] The air blowing component 200 also includes a mounting clip 220, which has a fixing groove 221 for receiving the air blowing tube 210. At least a portion of the air blowing tube 210 is embedded and fitted into the fixing groove 221 to achieve initial positioning and support.

[0086] The mounting clip 220 is connected and fixed to the body 100 by fasteners (such as screws), thereby securely mounting the entire blowing component 200 at a predetermined position on the side of the slide rail 110.

[0087] This structure allows the air blowing pipe 210 to be clamped or wrapped in the fixing groove 221, preventing it from shifting or bending under the impact of airflow or machine tool vibration, and ensuring that the air blowing port 211 always faces the guide section 120 and maintains a stable injection angle.

[0088] By setting the mounting clip 220 with the fixing groove 221, the air blowing pipe 210 can be quickly installed and securely fixed, simplifying the assembly process.

[0089] This fixed structure restricts the shaking and deformation of the air blowing pipe 210 during operation, ensuring the consistency of the spray direction of the air blowing port 211, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of the air curtain formation. This not only improves the effect of oil mist isolation and impurity diversion, but also enhances the structural reliability of the device, extends the service life of the air blowing pipe, and facilitates routine maintenance or replacement of the air blowing pipe 210.

[0090] Specifically, the mounting clip 220 includes:

[0091] Connect the main body 222 to the main body 100;

[0092] Two grippers 223 are disposed opposite to and spaced apart on the connecting body 222. Each gripper 223 is an elastic element. At least a portion of the fixing groove 221 is located between the connecting body 222 and the two grippers 223. The air blowing pipe 210 is inserted into the fixing groove 221 after overcoming the elastic force of the two grippers 223.

[0093] like Figure 8 As shown, the mounting clip 220 specifically includes a connecting body 222 and two grippers 223 disposed on the connecting body 222. The connecting body 222 serves as a basic component and is connected to the machine body 100 by fasteners to fix the overall position.

[0094] Two grippers 223 are positioned opposite each other and spaced apart on the connecting body 222, forming a portion of the space in the fixing groove 221 between them. The grippers 223 are designed as elastically deformable structures, with a tendency to converge towards the center.

[0095] During installation, the air pipe 210 is aligned with the fixing groove 221, and an external force is applied to make the two grippers 223 open outward against the elastic force. Then, the air pipe 210 is placed into the fixing groove 221 and the external force is removed. Under the action of the elastic restoring force, the grippers 223 clamp the air pipe 210, thereby firmly locking it in the gap between the connecting body 222 and the grippers 223.

[0096] The connecting body 222 structure with elastic grippers 223 enables quick snap-fit ​​fixing of the air pipe 210. The air pipe 210 can be reliably installed on the body 100 without additional fasteners, simplifying the installation steps and improving assembly efficiency.

[0097] The elastic clamping method can ensure the stability of the air pipe 210 in the fixed groove 221, prevent displacement caused by airflow impact or machine tool vibration, and adapt to air pipes 210 with different outer diameters, thus having good versatility.

[0098] The compact design of the structure prevents the air blowing pipe 210 from bending or interfering during operation, enhances the accuracy of the air blowing port 211's spray direction, and ensures the stability of the air curtain isolation and flow guidance effect.

[0099] Specifically, the flow guide 120 includes:

[0100] The guide surface 121 is gradually inclined towards the drain section 300 along the blowing direction to guide the processing impurities into the drain section 300.

[0101] There are multiple guide surfaces 121, which are spaced apart along the length of the body 100, and each guide surface 121 is connected to the sewage discharge section 300.

[0102] The flow guide 120 includes at least one flow guide surface 121, which is disposed below or to the side below the air blowing member 200. The flow guide surface 121 is inclined, and its height gradually decreases in the direction toward the drain section 300, forming an inclined surface that facilitates liquid flow.

[0103] Multiple guide surfaces 121 are distributed at intervals along the length of the body 100. The lower end of each guide surface 121 is connected to the drain section 300 to ensure that the processing impurities (such as condensate, oil mist droplets, etc.) carried by the airflow and attached to the guide surface 121 can slide into the drain section 300 along the slope.

[0104] This structure allows the guide surface 121 and the sewage discharge section 300 to form a continuous guide channel, where impurities flow along the inclined surface under the action of gravity and eventually flow into the sewage discharge path.

[0105] By setting multiple guide surfaces 121 that gradually tilt along the blowing direction, the processing impurities attached to the surface are efficiently and smoothly guided to the sewage discharge section 300 by gravity, thus avoiding the accumulation or retention of impurities in the guide rail area.

[0106] Multiple guide surfaces 121 are spaced apart along the length of the body 100, so that oil mist and droplets along the entire length of the guide rail can be effectively collected and treated, improving the uniformity and comprehensiveness of protection.

[0107] The direct connection between the guide surface 121 and the drain section 300 simplifies the drain path, reduces the risk of blockage, and improves the drain efficiency, thereby effectively keeping the area of ​​the slide rail 110 clean and extending the service life of the machine tool components.

[0108] Specifically, the sewage discharge department 300 includes:

[0109] The drain trough 310 extends in the same direction as the slide rail 110. From the middle of the drain trough 310 to both ends of the drain trough 310, the bottom surface 311 of the drain trough 310 is gradually inclined to discharge processing impurities.

[0110] The sewage discharge section 300 specifically includes a sewage discharge trough 310, which is arranged parallel to the extension direction of the slide rail 110 and its length direction is consistent with the slide rail 110, so as to cover the main protective area of ​​the slide rail 110.

[0111] The bottom surface 311 of the sewage trough 310 adopts a ridge-like structure with a high middle and low sides, that is, the bottom surface 311 of the trough gradually slopes from the middle of the sewage trough 310 to both ends.

[0112] This structure allows processing impurities (such as condensate, oil mist droplets, etc.) flowing into the drain tank 310 from the guide surface 121 to automatically flow to both sides along the inclined bottom surface 311 of the tank under the action of gravity, and finally converge to the drain outlets at both ends of the drain tank 310, and then be discharged to the chip discharge port 400.

[0113] By setting up a drain trough 310 with the bottom surface 311 of the tank gradually sloping from the middle to both ends, the automatic bidirectional diversion of processing impurities is realized by gravity, which effectively avoids the accumulation or retention of liquid in the tank and improves the drainage efficiency and automation level.

[0114] This structure ensures that oil and impurities along the entire length of the slide rail 110 can be smoothly discharged, avoiding backflow contamination or blockage caused by localized liquid accumulation. At the same time, this ridge-style drainage design is simple and eliminates dead angles, which helps maintain the cleanliness of the guide rail area, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning and maintenance costs, thereby better protecting the motion accuracy and service life of the slide rail 110.

[0115] Specifically, the processing equipment also includes:

[0116] The drain pipe 500 has one end connected to the drain section 300 and the other end facing the chip discharge port 400, so as to discharge the processing impurities in the drain section 300 to the chip discharge port 400 through the drain pipe 500.

[0117] The processing equipment also includes a drain pipe 500, one end of which is connected to the drain outlet of the drain section 300 to achieve fluid communication, and the other end of the drain pipe 500 extends to and is set toward the chip discharge port 400.

[0118] Through this connection method, the processing impurities (including condensate and mixed impurities) collected in the sewage discharge section 300 are guided and discharged under the action of gravity through the flow channel formed by the sewage discharge pipe 500, and finally flow into the chip discharge port 400.

[0119] The drain pipe 500 can be a rigid pipe or a flexible hose, and its orientation ensures that impurities can be smoothly transported from the drain section 300 to the chip discharge port 400, completing the transition from local collection to centralized discharge.

[0120] In addition, pipe fittings are provided on the body 100;

[0121] One end of the sewage pipe 500 is connected to the sewage discharge section 300 through the pipe connector 130.

[0122] like Figure 10 As shown, the processing equipment also includes a pipe connector 130, which is fixed to the machine body 100. One end of the drain pipe 500 is connected to the drain section 300 through the pipe connector 130 to achieve fluid communication between the two.

[0123] Specifically, the drain outlet of the drain section 300 is connected to the inlet of the pipe connector 130, and the drain pipe 500 is connected to the other end or extension of the pipe connector 130, thus forming a continuous drain passage from the drain section 300 through the pipe connector 130 to the drain pipe 500. The pipe connector 130 acts as a connector, ensuring a secure and sealed connection between the drain pipe 500 and the drain section 300 to prevent leakage.

[0124] By installing a pipe joint 130 between the drain section 300 and the drain pipe 500, a stable and sealed connection between the two is achieved. This structure not only allows machining impurities to flow smoothly and leak-free from the drain section 300 into the drain pipe 500 via the pipe joint 130, and finally out to the chip discharge port 400, but also effectively avoids secondary pollution caused by oil accumulation or leakage inside the machine tool.

[0125] As a standardized connecting component, the pipe fitting 130 simplifies the installation and docking process of the sewage pipe 500 and the sewage section 300, improves assembly efficiency, and facilitates the subsequent disassembly, maintenance or replacement of the sewage pipeline, thereby enhancing the maintainability and operational reliability of the equipment.

[0126] Specifically, the processing equipment also includes:

[0127] A protective cover 600 is installed on the machine body 100. The protective cover 600 is retractable to protect the slide rail 110.

[0128] The guide body 700 is disposed on the side of the slide rail 110, and at least a portion of the protective cover 600 is engaged on the guide body 700 to guide the protective cover 600 through the guide body 700.

[0129] The air blowing component 200, the flow guiding part 120, and the sewage discharge part 300 are respectively installed on the guide body 700.

[0130] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the processing equipment also includes a protective cover 600, which is installed on the machine body 100 and adopts a retractable structure (such as a bellows cover or a folding cover) to cover the slide rail 110 to prevent the intrusion of foreign objects.

[0131] A guide body 700 is provided on the side of the slide rail 110. At least a portion of the protective cover 600 is engaged with the guide body 700. The guide body 700 guides the movement trajectory of the protective cover 600 to ensure smooth extension and retraction. The air blowing component 200, the flow guide 120, and the sewage discharge component 300 are all integrated and installed on the guide body 700.

[0132] Specifically, the air blowing component 200 is fixed to the guide body 700, with its air blowing port 211 facing the area between the slide rail 110 and the guide section 120. The guide section 120 is located below the air blowing component 200 and connected to the drain section 300, which is located at a low position on the guide body 700 to collect droplets. This arrangement integrates the oil mist isolation, flow guiding, and draining components with the guide structure of the protective cover, all attached to the guide body 700.

[0133] By integrating the air blowing component 200, the flow guide 120, and the sewage discharge component 300 onto the guide body 700, a high degree of integration between the protective structure and the oil mist treatment function is achieved, simplifying the structural layout of the machine tool accessories and saving installation space.

[0134] The guide body 700 not only provides stable guidance support for the protective cover 600, ensuring the smoothness of the protective cover's extension and retraction, but also serves as a load-bearing platform to fix the oil stain treatment components, improving the accuracy and stability of the relative positions of each component.

[0135] This integrated design avoids interference between the oil treatment components and the protective cover movement. At the same time, the structural strength of the guide body 700 provides stable support for the air blowing pipe and the guide channel, improving the overall device's shock resistance and reliability. This is beneficial for maintaining the air curtain isolation and droplet collection effect during the high-speed movement of the machine tool.

[0136] In the specific implementation process: First, a guide section 120 (including a guide slope and a guide groove structure) is machined on the guide body 700. Then, a drain trough 310 in the drain section 300 is machined on the side of the guide section 120. Finally, the air blowing component 200 is installed on the guide body 700. Finally, the drain pipe 500 is connected to the drain trough 310 through a threaded interface or quick-connect fitting to ensure that the liquid path is unobstructed and leak-free. This ensures that after the air blowing component 200 blows the oil into the guide section 120, the oil flows into the drain trough 310 through the guide section 120 and is finally discharged through the drain pipe 500.

[0137] Alternatively, the drain trough 310 can be machined first, followed by the flow guide 120. Regardless of the order, it is sufficient to ensure that the flow guide 120 is connected to the drain trough 310.

[0138] Furthermore, at least a portion of the protective cover 600 is secured to the guide body 700, so that the movement of the protective cover 600 is synchronized with the support structure of the oil stain treatment component, and each component forms a stable spatial relative position relationship on the guide body 700.

[0139] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the protective cover 600 is provided with an avoidance opening 610, and at least a portion of the air blowing component 200 passes through the avoidance opening 610 and is connected to the guide body 700.

[0140] The protective cover 600 has an opening 610, which is located at a preset position on the protective cover 600 to accommodate the installation requirements of internal components. At least a portion of the air blowing component 200 (i.e., the air blowing pipe 210 and the mounting clip 220) passes through the opening 610 and extends from the inside to the outside of the protective cover 600, and is finally connected and fixed to the guide body 700 located on the side of the slide rail 110.

[0141] This through-hole structure allows the air blowing component 200 to be firmly attached to the guide body 700, while the clearance opening 610 allows the protective cover 600 to maintain relative movement with the air blowing component 200 as it moves with the slider without interference, ensuring that the retractable function of the protective cover 600 is properly realized.

[0142] By providing an avoidance opening 610 on the protective cover 600, a non-rigid connection and motion decoupling between the air blowing component 200 and the protective cover 600 are achieved. This design avoids deformation of the air pipe, loosening of the interface, or damage to the protective cover caused by squeezing or pulling the air blowing component 200 during the extension and retraction movement of the protective cover 600, effectively preventing motion interference.

[0143] The air blowing component 200 is connected to the guide body 700 through the opening, ensuring the fixation and stability of the air blowing position relative to the guide body 700, thereby improving the accuracy of the air curtain isolation direction and increasing the reliability and service life of the oil mist protection system.

[0144] Specifically, the processing equipment also includes:

[0145] An oil mist detection component 800 is installed on the body 100 to monitor the oil mist concentration; the oil mist detection component 800 is connected to the air blowing component 200 by signal, and the air blowing component 200 controls the airflow size according to the oil mist concentration.

[0146] like Figure 7 As shown, the processing equipment also includes an oil mist detection component 800, which is mounted on the body 100 and is typically located near the processing area to monitor the concentration of oil mist in the air in real time.

[0147] The oil mist detection component 800 and the air blowing component 200 are electrically connected via a signal line to establish a communication link. The air blowing component 200 (such as a solenoid valve or a variable frequency air pump) receives the detection signal from the oil mist detection component 800 and dynamically adjusts the airflow size according to the monitored oil mist concentration data.

[0148] When the detected oil mist concentration is low, the blowing component 200 can maintain a low airflow to save energy; when the concentration exceeds the set threshold, the blowing component 200 automatically increases the blowing volume to form a stronger air curtain isolation barrier, thereby effectively preventing the spread of oil mist.

[0149] By setting up an oil mist detection component 800 and linking it with the air blowing component 200, intelligent and on-demand operation of air blowing protection is achieved.

[0150] This control method can precisely adjust the air curtain intensity according to the actual oil mist concentration, which not only ensures effective protection of the guide rail area in a high concentration of oil mist environment, but also reduces energy consumption and saves compressed air resources in low concentration or no oil mist conditions.

[0151] Dynamically adjusting the airflow helps avoid excessive air blowing, which can cause cutting fluid splashing or interfere with the machining process. This improves the economy and environmental friendliness of machine tool operation and extends the service life of air source equipment and air blowing components.

[0152] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0153] A continuous air curtain is formed by the air blowing component 200, creating an active isolation barrier in front of the guide rail area, which reduces the possibility of oil mist spreading from the processing area to the guide rail area. At the same time, through the airflow guidance, the oil mist is concentrated in the preset guide area, improving the controllability of the oil mist.

[0154] By cooperating with the guide surface 121 and the drain trough 310, the oil mist condensate can be collected and directed, reducing the disorderly flow of oil inside the machine tool. The drain trough 310 is designed with the middle part higher than the two side edges, so that the liquid can be automatically diverted to both sides, improving the drainage efficiency.

[0155] The collected oil is transported to a chip conveyor or cutting fluid recovery system via the drain section 300 and drain pipe 500, achieving centralized oil recovery and reducing oil accumulation inside the machine tool. This application features a simple structure and convenient installation, allowing direct placement near the machine tool guideway area, and exhibits good adaptability to existing machine tools. Furthermore, it integrates oil mist isolation, protection, diversion, and recovery functions, helping to maintain the cleanliness of the guideway area and improve the working environment of the guideway.

[0156] The processing equipment provided in this application includes:

[0157] An active air curtain isolation structure was designed for the guide rail area. By setting up an air blowing pipe 210 with evenly distributed jet holes, a continuous air curtain is formed in front of the guide rail area, causing the oil mist to be blocked and deflected by the airflow during diffusion. While blocking the diffusion of oil mist, the oil blowing airflow also transports the oil mist to the guiding area in a predetermined direction, realizing the controllability of the oil mist's movement trajectory.

[0158] A guide surface 121 is provided below the air blowing area, so that the oil mist carried by the airflow adheres to the guide surface and forms droplets, which automatically flow to the collection area under the action of gravity. Drainage sections 300 are provided on both sides of the guide section 120, and are connected to the chip conveyor or cutting fluid recovery system through the drainage pipe 500 to realize automatic oil discharge.

[0159] This application also designs a monitoring and linkage control structure. When the oil mist detection component 800 detects that the oil mist concentration has reached the set threshold, it automatically starts the air blowing system to achieve on-demand operation.

[0160] This application relates to a processing equipment that improves the relationship between the machine tool processing area and the guide rail area. It mainly includes an oil mist detection component 800, an air blowing component 200, a guide section 120, and a wastewater discharge section 300, with the overall structure as follows: Figure 1 As shown. The oil mist detection component 800 is an oil mist detector.

[0161] The oil mist detector is located near the guide rail area to monitor the oil mist concentration generated in the processing area in real time and transmit the oil concentration signal generated during processing in real time. Its structure is shown in the attached figure. Figure 7 As shown in the attached diagram. The air blowing component 200 includes an air blowing pipe 210 and a plurality of air blowing ports 211 disposed on the air blowing pipe 210. The air blowing pipe 210 is connected to a compressed air system to form an air curtain isolation area, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 6 As shown.

[0162] The air hose 210 is fixed using mounting clips 220. This air hose is parallel to the length of the linear guide rail and is positioned at a certain distance from the arc on the upper side of the slide rail 110 to avoid interfering with the slide rail's movement. It is fixed by using mounting clips 220 at regular intervals and securing it to the base with screws to prevent the air hose from bending. The air hose clip structure is shown in the attached figure. Figure 8 As shown, the middle screw hole is used to fix the locking screw.

[0163] The air blowing pipe installation method is shown in the attached figure. Figure 10 As shown, to prevent the air pipe from interfering with the accordion cover and slider, an opening is provided at the bottom of the cover to accommodate the diameter of the air pipe, so that there will be no interference even when the slider moves at high speed.

[0164] like Figure 3 and Figure 14 As shown, the guide section 120 includes a guide surface 121 and a drain trough 310. The guide surface 121 is located below the air blowing pipe 210, and the drain trough 310 is connected to the lower end of the guide surface 121. The drain trough 310 adopts a ridge-like structure with a high center and low sides. Drainage holes are provided on both sides, and are connected to pipe joints 130 and drain pipes 500 to guide the collected oil and grease to the lower chip discharge trough, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 10 As shown.

[0165] The wastewater discharge unit 300 includes a wastewater discharge pipe 500 connected to a drain hole. The wastewater discharge pipe 500 leads to a wastewater discharge channel and ultimately to the machine tool chip discharge port. Its structure is shown in the attached figure. Figure 10 As shown.

[0166] Its working method is as follows:

[0167] Step S1: Oil mist generation

[0168] During machine tool processing, the cutting fluid is atomized by the high-speed rotation of the tool, cutting impact, and high temperature, forming a large number of oil mist particles in the processing area and diffusing into the machine tool.

[0169] Step S2: Oil mist concentration monitoring

[0170] The oil mist detection unit 800 monitors the oil mist concentration near the guide rail area in real time. When the detected concentration reaches a set threshold, it sends a signal to the control system.

[0171] Step S3: Activate air curtain isolation

[0172] Upon receiving an oil mist exceeding the limit signal, the control system activates the compressed air supply system. Compressed air enters the air blowing pipe 210 and is ejected through multiple air blowing ports 211 evenly distributed along the pipe, forming a continuous air curtain in front of the guide rail area. This air curtain, located between the processing area and the guide rail area, blocks the diffusion of oil mist, thereby reducing the likelihood of oil mist entering the guide rail area.

[0173] Step S4: Oil Mist Guiding and Concentration

[0174] The airflow ejected from the air outlet 211 not only blocks the diffusion of oil mist but also guides it, causing the oil mist to move along the airflow direction towards the guide slope. After contacting the guide surface 121, the oil mist particles adhere to the surface of the guide surface and gradually gather to form droplets.

[0175] Step S5: Condensate diversion

[0176] The formed droplets flow downwards along the guide surface 121 under the action of gravity and enter the interior of the drain trough 310. Since the guide trough adopts a ridge-like structure with the middle higher than the two side edges, the droplets flow to the left and right sides respectively after entering the drain trough 310.

[0177] Step S6: Drainage and Recovery

[0178] After the droplets flow to the edges of the guide channel, they enter the drain pipe 500 through the drain hole. The recovered liquid is transported along the oil pipe to the chip conveyor or cutting fluid recovery system to achieve centralized collection and discharge of the oil.

[0179] Step S7: Continuous Protection

[0180] The air blowing component 200 continuously forms an air curtain isolation area to dynamically protect the guide rail area, and continuously recovers oil through the guide section 120 and the sewage discharge section 300, thereby forming a continuous working process of oil mist blocking, guiding and recovering.

[0181] In summary, in terms of structural layout, the air blowing pipe 210 is located between the processing area and the guide rail area, with its air jet direction facing the guide surface 121. The guide surface 121 is located below the air blowing pipe 210, and the drain trough is located at the bottom of the guide slope. The drain holes are located at the lowest positions on both sides of the guide trough, and the drain pipe 500 is connected to the drain holes to form a drain passage.

[0182] The above structures together form an integrated protective structure of "air curtain isolation - oil mist diversion - liquid collection - centralized recovery", which helps to keep the guide rail area clean and improve the working environment of the guide rail.

[0183] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0184] This application provides a processing device, including: a body 100, a slide rail 110 provided on the body 100, and a guide section 120 provided on the side of the slide rail 110; an air blowing component 200, disposed between the slide rail 110 and the guide section 120, the extension direction of the air blowing component 200 being consistent with the extension direction of the slide rail 110, and the air blowing component 200 being disposed toward the guide section 120 to blow processing impurities into the guide section 120; and a waste discharge section 300, disposed on both sides of the guide section 120 respectively with the air blowing component 200, the guide section 120 being connected to the waste discharge section 300, the waste discharge section 300 being connected to the chip discharge port 400, and processing impurities in the guide section 120 flowing into the chip discharge port 400 through the waste discharge section 300 and being discharged.

[0185] The processing equipment provided in this application achieves integrated protection functions from air curtain isolation to directional flow guidance to centralized discharge through the coordinated operation of the body 100, slide rail 110, flow guide 120, air blowing component 200, sewage discharge part 300 and chip discharge port 400.

[0186] The air blowing component 200 is disposed between the slide rail 110 and the guide section 120 and blows air toward the guide section 120 to form an active air curtain, which effectively prevents oil mist and impurities generated in the processing area from spreading to the slide rail 110, reducing the possibility of impurities adhering to the surface of the guide rail from the source.

[0187] The blowing airflow forces suspended or diffused oil mist impurities to the guide section 120, and the structure of the guide section 120 is used to collect the impurities, thus avoiding the disorderly splashing of impurities inside the machine tool.

[0188] The guide section 120 is connected to the drain section 300, which in turn is connected to the chip discharge port 400, forming a smooth drainage channel. This allows the collected machining impurities to automatically flow into the chip discharge port 400 and be discharged under the action of gravity or airflow, preventing oil stains from accumulating, flowing back, or clogging near the guide rail. This keeps the area of ​​the slide rail 110 clean, improves the working environment of the guide rail, extends the service life of the slide rail, and improves the machining accuracy of the machine tool.
