[0018] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these example embodiments are provided so that the description of this disclosure will be more comprehensive and complete, and will fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The accompanying drawings are merely schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. Identical reference numerals in the figures indicate identical or similar parts, and thus repeated descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0019] In addition, the described features, structures or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more example embodiments. In the following description, many specific details are provided to provide a full understanding of the example embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical solutions of the present disclosure can be practiced while omitting one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, steps, etc. can be adopted. In other cases, well-known structures, methods, implementations or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of the present disclosure.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 4 A self-adaptive CNC gantry machining center includes a gantry milling machine 1, a T-type table 2 and an adaptive cleaning mechanism 3. The T-type table 2 is used to clamp the workpiece, the gantry milling machine 1 is used to process the workpiece, and the adaptive cleaning mechanism 3 is used to clean the chips in the chip groove.

[0022] The adaptive cleaning mechanism 3 is used to move with the T-stage 2 and includes a plurality of cleaning rods 31. Each cleaning rod 31 is fixed with a brush 32. Two adjacent cleaning rods 31 are elastically slidably connected. When the width of the cutting groove changes from wide to narrow, the elastic force allows the cleaning rods 31 to contract and make adaptive adjustments in length.

[0023] Preferably, a gap is reserved between two adjacent cleaning rods 31 that can be retracted to each other, so that the corresponding brushes 32 can be stored in the gap between the two cleaning rods 31 when the cleaning rods 31 are retracted.

[0024] Preferably, in the nesting doll-like cleaning rods 31, the outermost cleaning rod 31 is fixed to the bottom of the T-shaped stage 2 and is used to move with the T-shaped stage 2. Among the two adjacent cleaning rods 31, the cleaning rod 31 located on the outer side is provided with an arc-shaped slide 33, and the cleaning rod 31 located on the inner side is fixed with a limit block 34, which slides along the arc-shaped slide 33. On the corresponding side of the arc-shaped slide 33, the cleaning rod 31 located on the outer side is also provided with a clearance groove 35, and the brush 32 fixed on the cleaning rod 31 located on the inner side is located in the clearance groove 35. When the two cleaning rods 31 are retracted and the limit block 34 slides along the arc-shaped slide 33, the cleaning rod 31 located on the inner side will be deflected at an angle. At this time, the brush 32 on the cleaning rod 31 on the inner side will move into the clearance groove 35, so that the brushes 32 that were originally collinear are arranged side by side, thereby improving the utilization rate of the brushes 32.

[0025] Based on the preferred embodiment, the number of cleaning rods 31 is two, namely cleaning rod 31a and cleaning rod 31b. Cleaning rod 31a is fixedly connected to T-shaped stage 2. Cleaning rod 31b is elastically slidably connected inside cleaning rod 31a. An arc-shaped slide 33 and a clearance groove 35 are provided on cleaning rod 31a. A brush 32a is fixed on the side edge of the clearance groove 35. A brush 32b is fixed on the cleaning rod 31b located inside cleaning rod 31a. The brush 32b is located in the clearance groove. In the groove 35, the limit block 34 is fixed on the cleaning rod 31b, and the limit block 34 slides along the arc slide 33. When the cleaning rod 31b interferes with the cutting groove, the cleaning rod 31b retracts into the cleaning rod 31a. At the same time, the cleaning rod 31b rotates and retracts the brush 32b into the clearance groove 35, so that the brushes 32a and 32b that were originally arranged in the same line are now arranged side by side, so that both the brushes 32a and 32b can participate in the purpose of cleaning the chip groove.

[0026] In the above structure, the end of the cleaning rod 31 for interfering with the side wall of the chip groove is arc-shaped, which reduces the probability of the cleaning rod 31 getting stuck.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A slide groove, a connecting rod and a brush are provided on the side of the T-shaped table 2. One end of the connecting rod is coupled to the slide groove, and the other end is coupled to the end of the brush. When necessary, the user can insert the bristle part of the brush into the groove of the T-shaped table 2 and sweep out the chips in the groove.

[0029] The above-mentioned coupling connection mode means that both relative sliding and relative rotation are possible.

[0030] Specifically, the connecting rod and the slider are rotationally connected, and the slider and the slide groove are slidingly connected to achieve a coupled connection.

[0031] Specifically, the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the brush through the swivel, and the swivel and the connecting rod are slidably connected to achieve a coupled connection.

[0032] Working principle of this utility model:

[0033] The above embodiment uses an elastic sliding connection to allow the cleaning rod 31 to be adaptively adjusted according to the varying widths of the chip groove and to increase the participation of the brush 32, thereby achieving the purpose of continuously cleaning the chips in the chip groove.

[0034] The above description is merely illustrative of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It goes without saying that those skilled in the art will be able to modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
