DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features therein can be combined with each other.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0018] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The figure shows a structural diagram of a machine tool chip removal device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, comprising a machine tool platform 1, a machine tool body 2 being provided on the surface of the machine tool platform 1, baffles 3 being fixedly installed on both sides of the machine tool platform 1, a side cavity 4 being formed between the baffle 3 and the machine tool body 2, a fixed box 5 being fixedly installed on the side wall of the baffle 3, a chip collecting mechanism 6 being provided in the fixed box 5, the chip collecting mechanism 6 comprising a protective curtain 61, a positioning assembly 62 and a cleaning assembly 63, the positioning assembly 62 being located in the fixed box 5 and connected to the protective curtain 61, the cleaning assembly 63 being located in the fixed box 5 and connected to the positioning assembly 62.

[0020] During use, the positioning component 62 initially controls the protective curtain 61 to be stored in the fixed box 5. When the machine tool body 2 needs to work, the positioning component 62 controls the protective curtain 61 to extend to the outside of the fixed box 5 and spread it flat in the side cavity 4. When the machine tool processes the workpiece, the debris generated by the processing will be scattered on the surface of the protective curtain 61. The protective curtain 61 can effectively prevent the debris from falling into the side cavity 4. After the processing is completed, the positioning component 62 controls the protective curtain 61 to move back into the fixed box 5, and the debris on the surface of the protective curtain 61 moves synchronously into the fixed box 5. While the protective curtain 61 moves toward the inner cavity of the fixed box 5, the cleaning component 63 can automatically clean the debris on the surface of the protective curtain 61, and the debris can be conveniently cleaned into the fixed box 5.

[0021] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the positioning assembly 62 includes a rotating rod 621 rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the fixed box 5, and a winding roller 622 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating rod 621. The protective curtain 61 is wound on the surface of the winding roller 622. Coil springs are respectively provided at both ends of the rotating rod 621. The side wall of the baffle 3 is provided with a connecting groove 623 that is connected to the inner cavity of the fixed box 5. The end of the protective curtain 61 away from the winding roller 622 extends into the side cavity 4 through the connecting groove 623 and is fixedly installed with a control board 624. The control board 624 is made of magnetic material, and the side wall of the machine tool body 2 is fixedly installed with a magnetic plate 625 that cooperates with the control board 624.

[0022] Initially, the reel roller 622 completely reels the protective curtain 61 within the fixed box 5. When workpiece processing is required, the control plate 624 is pulled toward the magnetic plate 625. The control plate 624 pulls out the protective curtain 61 and lays it flat within the side chamber 4. The magnetic plate 625 uses magnetic attraction to position the control plate 624. After processing is completed, the control plate 624 is pulled away from the magnetic plate 625. The winding spring controls the rotation of the rotating rod 621 and the reel roller 622 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the reel roller 622 retracts the protective curtain 61 into the fixed box 5.

[0023] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the cleaning assembly 63 includes a cleaning rod 631 rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the fixed box 5 and located on the outside of the winding roller 622, and a plurality of groups of evenly distributed brushes 632 are provided on the surface of the cleaning rod 631. A first transmission gear disc 633 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating rod 621, and a second transmission gear disc 634 meshingly connected to the first transmission gear disc 633 is fixedly installed on the surface of the cleaning rod 631.

[0024] When the rotating rod 621 rotates, it drives the first transmission gear plate 633 to rotate synchronously. The first transmission gear plate 633 and the second transmission gear plate 634 are engaged and transmitted, which can drive the cleaning rod 631 to rotate in the fixed box 5. The cleaning rod 631 drives the brush 632 to rotate, and the brush 632 can automatically clean the debris scattered on the surface of the protective curtain 61.

[0025] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two sets of guide rollers 7 are rotatably mounted in the fixed box 5 and are distributed relative to each other in the vertical direction. The two sets of guide rollers 7 control the protective curtain 61 to maintain a vertical state in the inner cavity of the fixed box 5 .

[0026] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 5 , as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixed box 5 is divided into an upper box body 51 and a lower box body 52 , and two sets of magnetic rings 8 are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the upper box body 51 and the lower box body 52 .

[0027] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: during use, initially, the reeling roller 622 reels the entire protective curtain 61 into the fixed box 5. When the workpiece needs to be processed, the control plate 624 is pulled toward the magnetic plate 625. The control plate 624 can pull out the protective curtain 61 and lay it flat in the side cavity 4. The magnetic plate 625 positions the control plate 624 through magnetic attraction. When the machine tool processes the workpiece, debris generated during processing will be scattered on the surface of the protective curtain 61. The protective curtain 61 can effectively prevent the debris from falling into the side cavity 4. After the processing is completed, the control plate 624 is pulled to separate the control plate 624 from the magnetic plate 625. The winding spring controls the rotation of the rotating rod 621 and the reeling roller 622 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the reeling roller 622 retracts the protective curtain 61 into the fixed box 5. The debris on the surface of the protective curtain 61 is synchronously moved into the fixed box 5. When the protective curtain 61 moves toward the inner cavity of the fixed box 5, the rotating rod 621 drives the first transmission gear plate 633 to rotate synchronously during rotation. The first transmission gear plate 633 and the second transmission gear plate 634 are engaged and transmitted, which can drive the cleaning rod 631 to rotate in the fixed box 5. The cleaning rod 631 drives the brush 632 to rotate, and the brush 632 can automatically clean the debris scattered on the surface of the protective curtain 61.

[0028] The above describes in detail the preferred embodiments of this patent, but this patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in this field without departing from the purpose of this patent.
