Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal processing, and specifically relates to an automatic liquid removing and chip discharging machine. Background Art
[0002] Since the processing machine tools have become automated, some equipment used in conjunction with the processing machine tools also needs to be automated to minimize manual operation. Most machine tools already use automatic chip discharging machines to discharge the iron chips generated during processing. When taking away the iron chips, the cutting fluid adhering to the iron chips will also be taken away together. In this way, a large-capacity cutting fluid storage tank needs to be used to avoid pausing or aborting the processing program due to the lack of cutting fluid during processing. Once the processing program pauses or aborts during processing, it may cause defects in the processed workpiece, so the workpiece has to be scrapped. In addition, the cutting fluid adhering to the iron chips is taken away at the same time, resulting in a significant increase in the consumption of cutting fluid, thus increasing the processing cost.
[0003] Therefore, the existing technology needs to be improved. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the existing technology, the present application proposes an automatic liquid removing and chip discharging machine.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is as follows:
[0006] An automatic liquid removing and chip discharging machine includes a housing, a liquid removing barrel and a driving member. An accommodation chamber is provided inside the housing. Through holes are provided at both the upper end and the lower end of the accommodation chamber. The liquid removing barrel is rotatably connected in the accommodation chamber. The liquid removing barrel is provided with a through hole up and down. A plurality of liquid removing holes for only liquid to pass through are provided on the side wall of the liquid removing barrel. A carrying box that moves synchronously with the liquid removing barrel is provided inside the liquid removing barrel. The top and at least one side of the carrying box are open. The top of the carrying box is correspondingly communicated with the through hole at the upper end of the accommodation chamber. The driving member is arranged on the housing and is connected to the liquid removing barrel to drive the liquid removing barrel to rotate. An annular liquid collecting groove is provided on the inner wall of the accommodation chamber, and the annular liquid collecting groove is used for collecting the liquid that passes through the liquid removing holes.
[0007] Preferably, a liquid collecting hole communicated with the side wall of the annular liquid collecting groove is provided on the outer side wall of the housing. A guiding block is provided on the outer side wall of the housing at the position of the liquid collecting hole. A guiding through groove is provided on the guiding block, and one side opening of the guiding through groove is correspondingly communicated with the liquid collecting hole.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the annular liquid collecting groove is inclined, and the bottom of the annular liquid collecting groove inclines from high to low towards the liquid collecting hole.
[0009] Preferably, the driving member includes a bracket, a motor, and a belt drive assembly. The bracket is disposed on the outer sidewall of the housing. The motor is mounted on the bracket. One end of the belt drive assembly is in transmission connection with the output end of the motor, and the other end penetrates into the accommodating chamber and is in transmission connection with the liquid removing barrel.
[0010] Preferably, the structure of the belt of the belt drive assembly is a V-belt.
[0011] Preferably, a funnel is provided at the upper end through hole of the housing, and the lower end of the funnel penetrates into the top opening of the bearing box with a gap.
[0012] Preferably, a retaining ring is provided at the upper opening of the liquid removing barrel. The bearing box is connected to the retaining ring, and external materials penetrate into the interior of the bearing box from the inner ring of the retaining ring.
[0013] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of the lower end of the liquid removing barrel is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the upper end of the liquid removing barrel.
[0014] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0015] 1. When the automatic chip conveyor of the machine tool discharges iron chips from the machine tool, the iron chips will be transported to the upper end through hole of the housing. Through the upper through hole, the iron chips will enter from the upper opening of the bearing box. At this time, the driving member will drive the liquid removing barrel to rotate. Under the centrifugal force, the iron chips will be thrown out from the side opening of the bearing box and thrown onto the inner side surface of the liquid removing barrel, and the cutting fluid adhered to the surface of the iron chips will be separated from the iron chips and discharged through the liquid removing holes on the side wall of the liquid removing barrel. After the discharged cutting fluid is affected by the centrifugal force, it will splash onto the side wall of the accommodating chamber and flow downward to be collected in the annular liquid collecting groove. After the separation is completed, the iron chips will fall out of the housing through the through hole at the lower end of the accommodating chamber under the action of gravity. Thus, the separation between the iron chips and the cutting fluid is completed, and the cutting fluid adhered to the iron chips can be recycled, greatly reducing the consumption of cutting and thus reducing the processing cost;
[0016] 2. Since the bottom of the annular liquid collecting groove is inclined, and the bottom of the annular liquid collecting groove inclines from high to low towards the liquid collecting hole, when the cutting fluid is separated from the iron chips and flows into the annular liquid collecting groove, under the action of the inclined bottom surface of the groove, the cutting fluid will move along the inclined surface towards the liquid collecting hole, so that the cutting fluid flows from the liquid collecting hole into the liquid guiding groove and then flows through the liquid guiding groove to the external collecting device for collection. In this design method, after the cutting fluid is separated, it is not necessary to take out the annular liquid collecting groove from the housing. It is only necessary to place the collecting device at the other opening of the liquid guiding groove, and the cutting fluid will automatically flow into the collecting device for centralized collection without additional operations, which is convenient and makes the recycling of the cutting fluid easier;
[0017] 3. During the process of separating iron filings from the cutting fluid, since the carrier box and the liquid removal barrel are constantly rotating, a centrifugal force is generated to move the iron filings towards the inner wall of the liquid removal barrel. Due to the setting of the retaining ring, the retaining ring can block the upward movement of the iron filings, thereby preventing the iron filings from running out of the liquid removal barrel and falling into the annular liquid collection groove, and further reducing the iron filings impurities in the recycled cutting fluid.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] The embodiment of the present application discloses an automatic liquid removal and chip discharging machine.
[0026] Refer to Figures 1 to 4, An automatic liquid removal and chip discharging machine includes a housing 1, a liquid removal barrel 2, and a driving member 4. Specifically, the housing 1 is generally cylindrical, and the axis of the housing 1 is vertical. An accommodation chamber 11 is provided inside the housing 1, and the shape of the accommodation chamber 11 is also cylindrical. Through holes 12 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the accommodation chamber 11, and the axes of the two through holes 12 are coaxially arranged so that the inside of the housing 1 is vertically through. The liquid removal barrel 2 is arranged in the accommodation chamber 11, and the connection form between the liquid removal barrel 2 and the housing 1 is a rotational connection. In this embodiment, the upper side of the outer surface of the liquid removal barrel 2 is rotationally connected to the upper through hole 12 of the housing 1 through a bearing kit. The bearing kit is a prior art and will not be elaborated much in this embodiment. The liquid removal barrel 2 is a structure that is through from top to bottom. When viewed from one side opening, the cross-section of the liquid removal barrel 2 is circular. A plurality of liquid removal holes 21 are provided on the side wall of the liquid removal barrel 2. When viewed from the orifice direction, the cross-section of the liquid removal hole 21 is circular. The plurality of liquid removal holes 21 are closely distributed on the side wall of the liquid removal barrel 2, and only cutting fluid can pass through the liquid removal holes 21, and iron chips cannot pass through the liquid removal holes 21. A bearing box 3 is provided inside the liquid removal barrel 2. The upper side of the bearing box 3 is connected to the upper side opening of the liquid removal barrel 2 to rotate synchronously with the liquid removal barrel 2. The top of the bearing box 3 is open, and at least one side of the side is open. In this embodiment, the side of the bearing box 3 has four sides, and two opposite sides are open, so that the bearing box 3 is generally U-shaped. The top opening of the bearing box 3 is disposed opposite to the upper opening of the accommodation chamber 11. An annular liquid collection groove 5 is provided in the accommodation chamber 11. The annular liquid collection groove 5 is sleeved on the lower side of the liquid removal barrel 2 through a bearing kit to realize the function that the liquid removal barrel 2 rotates and the annular liquid collection groove 5 does not move. The annular liquid collection groove 5 is used to collect the cutting fluid that passes through the liquid removal holes 21. The driving member 4 is provided on the housing 1, and the driving member 4 is connected to the liquid removal barrel 2 to realize the rotation of the liquid removal barrel 2.
[0027] When the automatic chip discharging machine of the machine tool discharges iron chips from the machine tool, the external transportation equipment will transport these iron chips to the through hole 12 at the upper end of the housing 1 and pour them down. These iron chips will fall to the bottom of the bearing box 3. At the same time, the driving member 4 will cause the liquid removal barrel 2 to drive the bearing box 3 to rotate. The iron chips inside the bearing box 3 will be thrown out from the side opening of the bearing box 3 under the centrifugal force and will be thrown onto the inner wall of the liquid removal barrel 2. The liquid removal barrel 2 always rotates. Under the centrifugal force, the cutting fluid will separate from the iron chips and be discharged from the liquid removal holes 21 and will splash onto the inner wall of the accommodation chamber 11 under the centrifugal force and flow into the annular liquid collection groove 5 through the action of gravity. After the separation is completed, the driving member 4 will stop working, and the iron chips will fall out from the through hole 12 at the lower end of the housing 1 under the action of gravity and be collected by external equipment, thus completing the separation of the iron chips and the cutting fluid. The cutting fluid adhering to the iron chips can be recycled, greatly reducing the consumption of cutting and thus reducing the processing cost.
[0028] In order to more conveniently collect the separated cutting fluid, a liquid collecting hole 13 is provided at the lower side of the outer wall of the shell 1, and the other end of the liquid collecting hole 13 penetrates into and is connected to the annular liquid collecting groove 5, and the lower side of the liquid collecting hole 13 is flush with the lower side of the annular liquid collecting groove 5. At the same time, a guide block 14 is provided at a position corresponding to the liquid collecting hole 13 on the outside of the shell 1, and a guide groove 141 is provided on the guide block 14, and one side opening of the guide groove 141 is connected to the liquid collecting hole 13. At the same time, in order to more conveniently collect the cutting fluid in this embodiment, The bottom of the annular liquid collecting groove 5 is set to be an inclined surface, and the bottom of the annular liquid collecting groove 5 is inclined from high to low toward the liquid collecting hole 13. Therefore, when the cutting fluid flows into the annular liquid collecting groove 5, under the action of the inclined surface of the bottom, the cutting fluid will flow toward the liquid collecting hole 13 until the liquid collecting hole 13 flows into the diversion groove 141. Therefore, it is only necessary to place the collecting device at the opening on the other side of the diversion groove 141, and the cutting fluid will automatically flow to the collecting device for centralized collection. No additional operation is required, which is convenient and makes it easier to recover the cutting fluid.
[0029] The driving member 4 includes a bracket 41, a motor 42 and a belt transmission assembly 43. The bracket 41 is arranged on the outer wall of the shell 1, and the shell 1 of the motor 42 is fixedly arranged on the bracket 41. One end of the belt transmission assembly 43 is transmission-connected to the output end of the motor 42, and the other end will penetrate into the accommodating chamber 11 and be transmission-connected to the deliquid removal barrel 2. At the same time, the belt transmission assembly 43 adopts the form of a V-type pulley and a V-type belt, which can make the transmission process more stable, and the motor 42 and the bracket 41 are arranged on the outside, which can reduce the structure required to isolate the cutting fluid when the motor 42 is arranged inside, so as to reduce costs.
[0030] In order to better discharge the iron chips into and out of the deliquiding and chip conveying machine, a funnel 6 is provided at the top through hole 12 of the shell 1. The lower end of the funnel 6 penetrates into the shell 1 and is connected to the corresponding opening at the top of the carrying box 3. The upper part of the funnel 6 enlarges the entrance of the deliquiding and chip conveying machine, so that the iron chips can be poured into the carrying box 3 more conveniently; at the same time, the cross-sectional area of the lower end of the deliquiding barrel 2 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the upper end, that is, when the iron chips are discharged, the discharge area of the iron chips will become smaller, which can minimize the splashing of the iron chips during discharge, and only smaller equipment is needed to collect the iron chips.
[0031] In this embodiment, a retaining ring 22 is provided at the upper opening of the liquid removal barrel 2. The retaining ring 22 is circular. The retaining ring 22 is connected to the bearing box 3, and the bearing box 3 extends into the interior of the liquid removal barrel 2 from the inner circle of the retaining ring 22. Therefore, when the liquid removal barrel 2 rotates, the iron filings in the bearing box 3 are thrown out to the inner side wall of the liquid removal barrel 2 under the centrifugal force. Due to the setting of the retaining ring 22, some of the iron filings flying out from the upper opening of the liquid removal barrel 2 can be blocked, so that the iron filings can be prevented from running out of the liquid removal barrel 2 and falling into the annular liquid collection groove 5, and thus the iron filing impurities in the recycled cutting fluid can be reduced.
[0032] The implementation principle of an automatic liquid removal and chip removal machine according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the automatic chip removal machine of the machine tool discharges iron filings from the machine tool into the funnel 6, the iron filings will fall from the funnel 6 into the bearing box 3. With the start of the motor 42, under the centrifugal force, the iron filings in the bearing box 3 will be thrown out from the side opening to the inner side wall of the liquid removal barrel 2. As the liquid removal barrel 2 rotates, the cutting fluid on the iron filings will pass through the liquid removal holes 21, splash onto the side wall of the accommodation chamber 11 under the centrifugal force, flow into the annular liquid collection groove 5 under the action of gravity, and then flow out from the liquid collection holes 13 to the guide flow groove 141 under the slope action of the bottom of the annular liquid collection groove 5, and finally be received by an external storage container. After the separation is completed, the liquid removal barrel 2 will stop rotating, and the centrifugal force will disappear. Under the action of gravity, the iron filings will be discharged from the through hole 12 at the lower end of the housing 1, and thus the recovery of the cutting fluid can be completed, which can greatly reduce the consumption of cutting and reduce the processing cost.
[0033] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application. The protection scope of the present application is not limited hereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
