[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 6 , is an embodiment of the present utility model, which provides a CNC machine tool waste cleaning mechanism, including a machine tool body 100 and a cleaning unit 200;

[0028] The machine tool body 100 includes a processing machine 101, which is the main processing platform of the CNC machine tool and is responsible for carrying the workpiece to be processed; a lifting shield 102 is arranged on the top edge of the processing machine 101 to prevent waste from splashing; a processing machine box 104 is arranged on the outside of the processing machine 101, and a cabinet door 105 is arranged on the processing machine box 104. A PLC controller 106 is arranged on one side of the cabinet door 105. The PLC controller 106 is connected to a processing equipment for controlling the processing process. The processing equipment (not shown in the figure) is arranged above the processing machine 101.

[0029] The cleaning unit 200 includes a rotating cleaning brush 201, which is rotatably mounted on the processing machine 101. The rotating cleaning brush 201 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 202, the bottom end of the rotating shaft 202 is connected to a motor 203, and the bottom side of the motor 203 is fixedly connected to a control slide 204. The control slide 204 is transmission-connected to a transmission screw 205, and the transmission screw 205 is connected to a motor 206; the lifting shield 102 is connected to a lifting slide 103, and the lifting slide 103 is also mechanically connected to the transmission screw 205. The control slide 204 and the lifting slide 103 are both slidably connected to the processing machine 101 in an upward and downward manner. The processing machine 101 is provided with a slide groove for use with the control slide 204 and the lifting slide 103. The transmission screw 205 is provided with a first externally threaded portion 2051 and a second externally threaded portion 2052 with opposite thread rotation directions. The first externally threaded portion 2051 is mechanically connected to the control slide 204. The second externally threaded portion 2052 is arranged below the first externally threaded portion 2051 and is mechanically connected to the lifting slide 103.

[0030] The processing machine 101 is provided with a hidden storage groove 207 at the position corresponding to the rotating cleaning brush 201, and a blowing nozzle 208 is arranged on one side of the hidden storage groove 207, and the blowing nozzle 208 is connected to the fan 209 through a pipe; a waste collection bucket 210 is arranged at the bottom of the hidden storage groove 207, and the bottom end of the waste collection bucket 210 is connected to the waste collection channel 211, and a collection box 212 is arranged at the bottom of the waste collection channel 211; pull-out slide rails are arranged on both sides of the collection box 212, and the collection box 212 is connected to the pull-out slide rails for left and right sliding. The collection box 212 and the fan 209 are respectively arranged on both sides of the processing machine 101.

[0031] In this embodiment, when in use, the protective cover 102 is located outside the processing machine 101. When the PLC controller 106 controls the processing equipment to process the material on the processing machine 101, the protective cover 102 is lifted to intercept the flying material. After the processing is completed, the cleaning unit 200 cleans the material on the processing machine 101. The specific steps are as follows:

[0032] The motor 206 drives the transmission screw 205 to rotate. Through the mechanical transmission connection between the transmission screw 205 and the control slide 204, the control slide 204 drives the rotating cleaning brush 201 to rise to the height above the hidden storage groove 207. The motor 203 drives the rotating cleaning brush 201 to rotate on the processing machine 101, and the rotational motion cleans the waste generated by material processing on the processing machine 101.

[0033] As the drive screw 205 rotates, the second external threaded portion 2052 is mechanically connected to the lifting slide 103, causing the lifting cover 102 to descend, making it easier for the operator to observe the cleaning progress of the processing machine 101.

[0034] The waste cleaned by the rotating cleaning brush 201 falls into the hidden storage groove 207 under the action of gravity when passing through the hidden storage groove 207. The waste collecting bucket 210 collects the waste falling from the hidden storage groove 207 and guides the waste into the collection box 212 through the waste collecting channel 211.

[0035] After cleaning is completed, the motor 206 is controlled to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the motor 206 controls the rotating cleaning brush 201 to descend into the hidden storage groove 207, so that the upper surface of the rotating cleaning brush 201 is flush with the upper surface of the processing machine 101, and at the same time, the height of the protective cover 102 is raised;

[0036] Start the motor 209 so that the blowing nozzle 208 provides airflow through the fan 209 to blow away the waste adhering to the rotating cleaning brush 201. The waste collecting bucket 210 collects the waste falling from the hidden storage groove 207 and guides the waste into the collection box 212 through the waste collection channel 211. Later, the operator can manually pull out the collection box 212 and slide the collection box 212 out from the pulling slide rail to clean the waste.

[0037] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a controller. Since the controller is a commonly used device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0038] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
