Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of numerically controlled lathes, in particular to a coolant collecting mechanism which is convenient for collecting chips. Background Art

[0002] When cutting metal on a CNC machine tool, cutting heat is generated during the cutting process, causing the workpiece and the cutting part of the tool to be in a high temperature state. Therefore, during the workpiece cutting process, coolant (i.e. cutting fluid) is required for cooling.

[0003] After searching, Chinese patent announcement number CN221185744U discloses a coolant collection device for an inclined CNC lathe, including an outer box body arranged below the lathe workbench, a partition is overlapped on the top of the outer box body, and a chip collecting bucket is connected to the bottom of the partition through a plug-in ring plate, the chip collecting bucket is arranged at the inner axis of the outer box body, and a screen is embedded on the surface of the chip collecting bucket; the chip collecting bucket is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer box body through a fixed plate, and the fixed plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the chip collecting bucket. In the utility model, by arranging a chip collecting bucket inside the outer box body, under the action of the screen, the chip collecting bucket can separate the debris inside the coolant, and realize the collection of the debris. At the same time, by arranging a partition above the chip collecting bucket, under the action of the guide plate and the plug-in ring plate, the partition accurately guides the coolant to the chip collecting bucket above, ensuring the working effect of the chip collecting bucket, and by flexibly installing the partition, it is convenient for later maintenance.

[0004] However, in the above technical solution, metal chips and cutting fluid are classified only by the screen on the inner wall of the chip collecting bucket. When the metal chips are collected, they will all fall into the chip collecting bucket. The metal chips have different sizes during processing. If the mesh size of the screen is too large, it is easy for the metal chips to mix into the cutting fluid. If the mesh size of the screen is too small, it is easy for the mesh size of the screen to be blocked, affecting the discharge of the cutting fluid. Utility Model Content

[0007] The separation component is arranged in parallel with the collection box, and the separation component is connected to the collection box; when the collection component is in use, the collection component separates the oil and cutting fluid in the collection box.

[0009] Preferably, the support frame is connected to fixing bars arranged side by side, the fixing bars are provided with dovetail grooves, and the dovetail grooves are slidably connected to dovetail blocks connected to the filter box.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing bar and the filter box are both arranged at an inclination, and the height of one end of the fixing bar and the filter box close to the opening of the support frame is higher than that of the other end.

Compared with the first embodiment, the present embodiment records the detailed structure of the filter assembly, which includes a guide funnel 3, a mounting frame 4, a support frame 5, a filter box 6, a handle 7 and a vibration assembly. The guide funnel 3 is placed on the collection box 1, and the cross-section of the guide funnel 3 is an equilateral trapezoid. The guide funnel 3 is connected to the mounting frame 4;

[0024] In an optional embodiment, the guide funnel 3 is connected to a symmetrically arranged handle 15, and the handle 15 is connected to an anti-slip layer; the guide funnel 3 and the components in the collection box 1 can be easily taken out through the handle 15;

[0025] The support frame 5 is connected to the mounting frame 4. The support frame 5 is a hollow structure in the vertical direction. An opening is provided on any side wall of the support frame 5. A plurality of filter boxes 6 are arranged in parallel. The filter boxes 6 are detachably connected to the support frame 5.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the support frame 5 is connected to fixed bars 12 arranged side by side, and the fixed bars 12 are provided with dovetail grooves 13, and the dovetail grooves 13 are slidably connected to dovetail blocks 14 connected to the filter box 6;

[0027] The handle 7 is connected to the side wall of the filter box 6; the handle 7 is convenient for the staff to hold and install;

[0028] The vibration assembly is connected to the support frame 5; when the vibration assembly is in use, the vibration assembly can generate vibrations by itself, and the vibration drives the support frame 5 to reciprocate along the length direction of the mounting frame 4;

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the mesh size of the filter box 6 gradually increases from top to bottom; the gradually decreasing mesh size allows the metal debris to be separated into different sizes for storage, thereby reducing the workload of subsequent staff to classify the metal debris again;

[0030] The vibration assembly includes a vibration motor 8, a guide rod 9, a sliding block 10 and an elastic member 11. The vibration motor 8 is connected to the side wall of the support frame 5 away from the opening. A plurality of guide rods 9 are evenly distributed at equal intervals. The guide rod 9 is connected to the mounting groove provided on the lower end surface of the mounting frame 4. The sliding block 10 is slidably connected to the guide rod 9. The lower end surface of the sliding block 10 is connected to the support frame 5. Two elastic members 11 are arranged side by side. The elastic members 11 are sleeved on the guide rod 9 and are located on both sides of the sliding block 10. The elastic member 11 is selected from but not limited to springs.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the fixing bar 12 and the filter screen box 6 are both arranged at an incline, and the height of the fixing bar 12 and the filter screen box 6 at one end close to the opening of the support frame 5 is higher than that of the other end; the inclined fixing bar 12 and the filter screen box 6 can maintain connection with the support frame 5 when the support frame 5 is vibrated by the vibration component, thereby preventing the filter screen box 6 from being displaced.

[0032] Embodiment 3

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the utility model proposes a coolant collection mechanism that is convenient for chip collection.

The connecting pipe 17 is slidably connected in a through hole provided on the oil tank 16, and the connecting pipe 17 is connected to the collection box 1.

[0034] In summary, when the utility model is used, the metal debris enters the guide funnel 3 through the feed port at the top of the collection box 1, and then enters the filter box 6 through the guidance of the guide funnel 3. The metal debris of different volumes are collected and separated by the mesh holes that gradually shrink from top to bottom. The cutting fluid or coolant falls into the collection box 1 through the mesh holes. At this time, the oil will gradually move up and float on the water surface. After the cutting fluid in the collection box 1 reaches a certain height, it will contact the connecting pipe 17. The oil floating on the water surface is discharged into the oil tank 16 through the connecting pipe 17, which is convenient for the later classification and treatment of the cutting fluid. At the same time, after the vibration motor 8 is started, it will drive the support frame 5 to vibrate. When the support frame 5 vibrates, it will drive the sliding block 10 to move along the axis of the guide rod 9 in the installation groove on the installation frame 4. The movement of the support frame 5 will drive multiple filter boxes 6 to move and shake, so as to avoid metal debris from accumulating somewhere and causing blockage. The inclined fixing bar 12 and the filter box 6 can prevent the filter box 6 from sliding out of the support frame 5 through their own angles.

[0035] The implementation modes of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
