Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vertical machining centers, in particular to an automatic chip removal vertical machining center. Background Art

[0002] A vertical machining center (VMC) is a highly automated, multifunctional CNC machine equipped with a tool magazine and automatic tool changer. With a vertical spindle, this machining center is suitable for machining complex parts such as plates, discs, molds, and small housings. It can perform milling, boring, drilling, tapping, and thread cutting operations.

[0003] Common vertical machining centers generally use spiral chip conveyors to remove iron chips. When machining a workpiece, the iron chips generated will fall into the collection port of the spiral chip conveyor. The motor drives the spiral blades to rotate, thereby discharging the iron chips.

[0004] However, as workpieces are machined, the resulting iron chips tend to scatter into the interior of the machining center, with some landing on the surface of the spiral chip conveyor. This requires opening the machining center and taking time to clean out the chips that haven't reached the spiral chip conveyor. Furthermore, because workpieces are subjected to high temperatures during machining, the adsorption properties of the chips change at high temperatures, making them difficult to remove and clean. Utility Model Content

[0005] (1) Technical problems solved

[0006] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides an automatic chip removal vertical machining center to solve the problem proposed in the above background technology that some of the iron chips will be scattered onto the surface of the spiral chip removal device, and the machining center needs to be opened to clean the iron chips that have not entered the spiral chip removal device. At the same time, since the workpiece will generate high temperature during machining, the adsorption of iron chips will change under high temperature conditions, resulting in the iron chips being difficult to fall off and difficult to clean.
