[0025] The machine tool body 1 is provided with a lubrication assembly, which includes a lubrication oil tank 61, a pump body 62, a main pipe 63 and two branch pipes 64. The lubrication oil tank 61 is fixed on the machine tool body 1, and the pump body 62 is installed on the machine tool body 1.

When the pump body 62 is running, it can extract lubrication oil from the lubrication oil tank 61, and pump the lubrication oil into the interior of the cavity 4 through the main pipe 63 and the branch pipe 64, so that the lubrication oil flows to the surface of the guide rail 2 through the opening 5. During the lubrication process, the staff controls the slide 3 to move on the guide rail 2 so that the lubrication oil is evenly distributed on the guide rail 2, and the lubrication work can be quickly realized;

[0026] Four collecting assemblies are also provided on the machine tool body 1. The four collecting assemblies are arranged in groups of two and are respectively arranged on both sides of the two guide rails 2. The collecting assemblies include a box body 71, an outer cylinder 72, an inner rod 73, two connecting rods 74, two slideways 75, a scraper 76, two fixing blocks 77 and a collecting box 78. The box body 71 is fixed on one side of the guide rail 2. The box body 71 is arranged along the length direction of the guide rail 2, and the box body 71 has the same length as the guide rail 2. One end of the box body 71 is open. The outer cylinder 72 is fixed on the slide seat 3. The inner rod 73 is slidably connected in the outer cylinder 72. The inner surface of the outer cylinder 72 fits with the outer surface of the inner rod 73. The inner rod 73 is made of rubber material, which makes the outer cylinder 72 and the inner rod 73 have a large The friction force prevents the inner rod 73 from moving when no force is applied. One end of the inner rod 73 extends to the outside of the outer cylinder 72 and is fixedly connected to the scraper 76. The side of the scraper 76 fits against the inner surface of the box body 71. The two connecting rods 74 are fixed on the inner rod 73. The two slideways 75 are both opened on the outer cylinder 72. The two connecting rods 74 are respectively slidably connected in the two slideways 75. The two fixed blocks 77 are respectively fixed at both ends of the box body 71. The two fixed blocks 77 are both provided with inclined surfaces, and the inclined directions of the inclined surfaces of the two fixed blocks 77 are opposite. The two connecting rods 74 are respectively arranged opposite to the inclined surfaces of the two fixed blocks 77. The collection box 78 is arranged on the machine tool body 1, and the collection box 78 is arranged opposite to the open end of the box body 71.

[0027] The specific working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0028] When the guide rail 2 and the slide seat 3 need to be lubricated, the staff starts the pump body 62. When the pump body 62 is running, it can extract lubricating oil from the lubricating oil tank 61, and pump the lubricating oil into the interior of the cavity 4 through the main pipe 63 and the branch pipe 64, so that the lubricating oil flows to the surface of the guide rail 2 through the opening 5. During the lubrication process, the staff controls the slide seat 3 to move on the guide rail 2 so that the lubricating oil is evenly distributed on the guide rail 2, and the lubrication work can be quickly realized. It should be noted that the branch pipe 64 adopts a telescopic tube to prevent the branch pipe 64 from hindering the movement of the slide seat 3;

[0029] Collection components are provided on both sides of the guide rail 2. When the lubricating oil flows onto the guide rail 2, the excess lubricating oil will flow along the surface of the guide rail 2 to the inside of the box body 71. This design can prevent the excess lubricating oil from flowing around and polluting the environment, and can collect the excess lubricating oil to avoid waste. Furthermore, the staff can use the scraper 76 to collect the lubricating oil in the box body 71. Specifically, the staff first controls the slide 3 to move to the end of the guide rail 2 away from the collection box 78 until the fixed block 77 at the end of the guide rail 2 away from the collection box 78 contacts the corresponding connecting rod 74. Under the action of the inclined surface on the fixed block 77, the connecting rod 74 will drive the inner rod 73 to move downward until the scraper 76 contacts the bottom surface of the box body 71. Then the staff controls the slide 3 to move in the opposite direction to move the slide 3 toward the direction close to the collection box 78. In this process, the scraper 76 can collect the lubricating oil in the box body 71. The lubricating oil in the box body 71 is scraped to the open end of the box body 71, so that the lubricating oil flows into the collection box 78. Finally, the staff pours the lubricating oil collected in the collection box 78 back into the lubricating oil tank 61 to collect the excess lubricating oil. In addition, when the slide 3 moves to one end of the guide rail 2 close to the collection box 78, the other connecting rod 74 will contact the corresponding fixed block 77 and move upward under the action of the inclined surface of the fixed block 77, so that the scraper 76 is separated from the bottom surface of the box body 71. Under the cooperation of the two connecting rods 74 and the two fixed blocks 77, the scraper 76 will only contact the bottom surface of the box body 71 when the slide 3 moves toward the direction close to the collection box 78. When the slide 73 moves in the direction away from the collection box 78, the scraper 76 will not contact the bottom surface of the box body 71. This design is conducive to the scraper 76 scraping the lubricating oil in the box body 71 to the inside of the collection box 78.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
