[0002] At present, crawler chip conveyors are often used as general-purpose chip conveyors in processing enterprises. They can be used for workpieces made of various materials. For example, they are the most cost-effective for enterprises that carry out mixed processing of workpieces made of various materials such as castings, steel parts, and aluminum parts.

[0003] In the prior art, there are many problems with crawler chip conveyors, for example, small metal chips of crawler chip conveyors leak to the bottom, or metal chips stick to the crawler and do not fall out of the chip discharge port, but are rolled back to the bottom of the chip conveyor by the crawler, etc., and accumulate under the crawler. The accumulated metal chips are easy to block the drainage port of the cutting fluid, and as the metal chips accumulate more and more between the crawler and the bottom of the machine body, the metal chips are more likely to get stuck between the gaps between adjacent track plates, causing the gap between the track plates to increase, the transmission chain to jump teeth and break, or the crawler jams and causes the motor to overload and be damaged. Therefore, the traditional practice is to frequently shut down and disassemble the crawler chip conveyor, and clean up the metal chips accumulated at the bottom of the crawler chip conveyor. The operation is cumbersome, and it consumes a lot of labor costs and time costs, reducing production efficiency. For this reason, it is necessary to design a crawler chip conveyor that is easy to clean metal chips to meet production needs and improve production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0026] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, which are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, a person of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0027] The utility model is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A crawler chip conveyor includes a rotary crawler 2 for receiving and conveying chips, and a machine body 1. The machine body 1 includes a bottom surface relatively arranged below the lower conveying surface of the crawler 2, and a gap space 4 for accommodating chips is formed between the lower conveying surface and the bottom surface. The running direction of the lower conveying surface of the crawler 2 is the first direction ( Figure 2The running direction of the lower conveying surface of the crawler 2 is indicated by an arrow), the gap space 4 is open at the end of the first direction, so that the lower conveying surface of the crawler 2 can push the chips stored in the gap space 4 out of the gap space 4 along the first direction, and also includes a collecting device 3, which is fixedly arranged at the end opening of the gap space 4 in the first direction and is used to collect the chips pushed out by the crawler 2. In this way, the chips are not easy to accumulate in the gap space 4 in large quantities, ensuring the normal operation of the crawler 2, and the chips in the collecting device 3 can be cleaned without stopping the crawler chip conveyor, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, the crawler 2 extends in a broken line shape as a whole, including a horizontal section and an upwardly inclined section. The bottom surface of the machine body 1 also extends in a broken line shape, including a horizontal section corresponding to the crawler 2 and an upwardly inclined section. The collecting device 3 is arranged at the lower end of the crawler 2, and the machine body 1 is provided with a chip discharge port 5 at the higher end of the crawler 2 for discharging the chips transported through the upper conveying surface of the crawler 2. Through the arrangement of the horizontal section and the inclined section of the crawler 2, after the chips are transported from the horizontal section of the crawler 2 to the inclined section, the cutting fluid remaining on the inclined section of the crawler 2 can flow to the bottom surface of the machine body 1 under the action of gravity, so that most of the chips are discharged from the chip discharge port 5, and most of the cutting fluid can flow to the horizontal section of the bottom surface of the machine body 1.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 . A chip collecting opening 6 in a downwardly contracted shape is provided above the horizontal section of the crawler 2, so that the chips can be guided and gathered onto the crawler 2. Inclined guide plates 7 are provided above both sides of the horizontal section of the crawler 2 in the width direction, and a chip collecting opening 6 is formed between the guide plates 7 on both sides. Chains 8 are provided on both sides of the width direction of the crawler 2, and the guide plates 7 cover the top of the chains 8, which can prevent metal chips splashed from the machine tool from falling directly on the chains 8, causing the chains 8 to get stuck or jump teeth, etc. Furthermore, the crawler 2 has chains 8 on both sides in the width direction, and also includes a partition 9, which is fixed on both sides in the width direction of the crawler 2 to block and separate the chains 8 from the upper conveying surface of the crawler 2.

[0031] The upper end surface of the partition 9 is fixedly connected to the inclined lower end of the guide plate 7, and can support and reinforce the guide plate 7. The partition 9 includes a first shielding portion 10 arranged above the chain 8, and also includes a second shielding portion 11 extending along the center of the width of the track 2. A U-shaped cavity 12 with an opening facing downward is formed between the first shielding portion 10 and the second shielding portion 11. Both sides of the track 2 in the width direction are provided with plug-in portions 13 extending toward the U-shaped cavity 12. The plug-in portions 13 are inserted into the U-shaped cavity 12 to form a labyrinth structure, thereby separating the chain 8 and the upper conveying surface of the track 2, and preventing the debris falling on the track 2 from splashing onto the chain 8 along the width direction of the track 2, causing the chain 8 to jam or jump. In this embodiment, the first shielding portion 10 is a U-shaped plate, and the second shielding portion 11 is an L-shaped plate. The opening edge of the U-shaped plate is abutted and welded to the side wall of the machine body 1 to seal the opening of the U-shaped plate, and the U-shaped plate blocks the top of the chain 8. One end of the L-shaped plate is abutted and welded to the upper edge of the U-shaped plate, and the other end extends downward toward the track 2. The L-shaped plate and one side wall of the U-shaped plate form a U-shaped cavity 12, and cooperate with the plug-in portion 13 to form a maze structure. In addition, the inclined lower end of the guide plate 7 is connected and fixed at the right-angle edge of the L-shaped plate. The track 2 is formed by a combination of track plates 2 connected in sections. Plug-in blocks are set at both ends of each track plate 2 extending toward the U-shaped cavity 12. The ends of the two plug-in blocks on the same side of two adjacent track plates 2 overlap and connect. In this way, the plug-in blocks on the same side of all track plates 2 form a plug-in portion 13 and are inserted into the U-shaped cavity 12 to separate the upper conveying surface of the track 2 from the chain 8.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , 4 5. In this embodiment, the collecting device 3 is a trough structure, and the upper end of the collecting device 3 is opened. The collecting device 3 is detachably mounted with a trough cover 14 at the opening. Two handles 15 are arranged on the trough cover 14 at intervals, so as to open the trough cover 14 and clean the chips in the collecting device 3. Seepage holes 17 are also arranged on the trough cover 14 at intervals, so that some cutting fluid splashed on the trough cover 14 can flow into the collecting device 3 through the seepage holes 17, and the volume of the chips in the collecting device 3 can be directly observed through the seepage holes 17, so as to clean the chips in the collecting device 3 in time. The collecting device 3 is provided with a drain port 16, which is provided on the side wall of the collecting device 3 away from the crawler 2, so that the chips are not easy to block the drain port 16. The bottom surface of the collecting device 3 is not higher than the bottom surface of the machine body 1. In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the collecting device 3 is lower than the bottom surface of the machine body 1, so that the chips in the gap space 4 can be smoothly pushed into the collecting device 3 by the crawler 2.

[0033] In other embodiments, in order to facilitate the cleaning of the accumulated chips in the collection device 3. For example, in another embodiment, a filter bucket can be detachably placed in the collection device 3, and one side of the filter bucket has an opening, and the opening faces the crawler 2, so that the chips can be pushed into the filter bucket by the crawler 2. In this way, when cleaning the chips, it is only necessary to open the slot cover 14, take out the filter bucket and pour out the chips inside, and the cleaning is convenient and quick. In addition, the filter bucket can intercept most of the chips entering the collection device 3 in the filter bucket, avoid the chips from accumulating at the drain port 16 and causing blockage, and can also perform preliminary filtration for subsequent cutting fluid recovery.
