For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two components; for ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] See also Figure 1-4The utility model provides a jig debris removal device for an automated production line, comprising a low-pressure spray pump 1, a high-pressure spray pump 2 and a spray mechanism; the low-pressure spray pump 1 and the high-pressure spray pump 2 are respectively connected to an external coolant container to provide coolant for the device; a built-in cooling pipeline 4 is arranged in the spray mechanism, and the built-in cooling pipeline 4 is connected to a nozzle 5 arranged on the top of the spray mechanism; the low-pressure spray pump 1 and the high-pressure spray pump 2 are connected in parallel, and are connected to the built-in cooling pipeline 4 of the spray mechanism through an external cooling pipeline 6, and the low-pressure spray pump 1 and the high-pressure spray pump 2 are electrically connected to a machine tool controller, and their start-up timing is controlled by the machine tool controller.

[0032] The spraying mechanism comprises a support seat 31 and an inclined hole flushing support 32 arranged on the support seat 31. The support seat 31 and the inclined hole flushing support 32 are assembled separately. By replacing the support seat 31 of different specifications, the overall height of the spraying mechanism can be adjusted, and the adaptability is stronger.

[0033] The support seat 31 is installed on the bottom plate of the tooling fixture, and the support seat 31 has a first built-in cooling pipeline 311 built in. The first built-in cooling pipeline 311 is connected to a spare quick-release joint 312, and the spare quick-release joint 312 laterally passes through the side wall of the support seat 31; the spare quick-release joint 312 is in a normally closed state, and serves as a redundant component of the first built-in cooling pipeline 311, and can be used as a backup when the first built-in cooling pipeline 311 is blocked.

[0034] The inclined hole flushing support 32 is provided with a second built-in cooling pipeline 321, which is connected to the first built-in cooling pipeline 311 in the support seat 31; the second built-in cooling pipeline 321 is arranged obliquely and connected to the nozzle 5 at the top of the inclined hole flushing support 32;

[0035] The internal cooling pipeline 4 includes the first internal cooling pipeline 311 and the second internal cooling pipeline 321 .

[0036] Furthermore, the second internal cooling pipeline 321 is connected to a flow regulating mechanism through a bypass;

[0037] The flow regulating mechanism includes an adjusting screw hole 322 connected to the second internal cooling pipeline 321, and an adjusting nut 323 and an adjusting bolt 324 assembled with the adjusting screw hole 322;

[0038] The adjusting screw hole 322 laterally passes through the side wall of the inclined hole flushing support 32, and the adjusting nut 323 and the adjusting bolt 324 are installed on the side wall of the inclined hole flushing support 32. The flow rate flowing through the second built-in cooling pipeline 321 is adjusted by adjusting the screwing depth of the bolt 324, thereby adjusting the spraying flow rate of the nozzle 5.

[0039] Furthermore, the support seat 31 and the inclined hole flushing support 32 are each provided with a plurality of corresponding assembly screw holes 8, and the support seat 31 and the inclined hole flushing support 32 are integrally assembled on the bottom plate of the fixture by screws penetrating the support seat 31 and the inclined hole flushing support 32.

[0040] Preferably, the top of the inclined hole flushing support 32 is arranged as an inclined surface, so that the nozzle 5 at the top thereof is aligned with the workpiece positioning surface above it.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] 1) After the robot on the automatic line transfers the processed products on the fixture, the low-pressure spray pump 1 is started by the machine tool controller and outputs coolant. The coolant flows through the external cooling pipeline 6, the first built-in cooling pipeline 311, and the second built-in cooling pipeline 321, and then is sprayed out from the top nozzle 5 at a "low speed" to wash the processing debris on the fixture.

[0043] 2) If the processing debris is still not clean after "low-speed" spray flushing, the high-pressure spray pump 2 is started by the machine tool controller and outputs coolant. The coolant flows through the external cooling pipeline 6, the first built-in cooling pipeline 311, and the second built-in cooling pipeline 321, and then is sprayed out from the top nozzle 5 at "high speed" to flush the processing debris on the tooling fixture.

[0044] The debris removal device in this case is equipped with a low-pressure spray pump 1 and a high-pressure spray pump 2 in parallel. The main reason is that during the processing of the existing CNC machine tools, the auxiliary equipment of the machine tools is controlled by editing the "M" code in the program: such as M08 controls the internal cooling of the machine tool spindle. However, this "M" code can only control "on" and "off", not "fast" and "slow". In this application, the model of the low-pressure spray pump 1 is set to low flow rate and low pressure. When starting, the coolant is reflected as a parabolic spray at the end, and only the product support surface of the fixture can be cleaned at this time; while the model of the high-pressure spray pump 2 is set to high flow rate and high pressure. When starting, the coolant is reflected as a straight line spray at the end, and the product surface can be cleaned at this time. Through the alternating cooperation of the low-pressure spray pump 1 and the high-pressure spray pump 2, both the product support surface of the fixture and the product itself can be cleaned.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the tooling fixture debris removal device in this case for an automated line can clean both the product supporting surface of the tooling fixture and the product itself through the alternating cooperation of a low-pressure spray pump and a high-pressure spray pump. It is used on an automated line to clean processing debris with a good cleaning effect.

[0046] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
