[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gantry machining centers, in particular to a rapid chip removal device for a gantry machining center. Background Art

[0002] A gantry machining center is a large-scale machining center in which the axis of the spindle Z-axis is arranged perpendicular to the worktable. The overall structure is a gantry-type structural frame composed of double columns and a top beam. It is particularly suitable for machining large workpieces and workpieces with complex shapes.

[0003] Gantry machining centers typically consist of a double-column, top beam forming a portal-like structure with a crossbeam between the two columns. This structure gives gantry machining centers a large machining range and stability, making them suitable for processing large and complex workpieces.

[0004] Gantry machining centers are widely used in the field of mechanical processing, especially in the automotive, mold, aerospace, military and other industries. They are mainly used for milling, drilling, tapping and other operations, and can complete multi-process processing and improve production efficiency.

[0005] Conventional gantry machining centers require cutting fluid to reduce the temperature generated during workpiece cutting, causing the cutting fluid to be mixed with chips and discharged at the same time. This greatly wastes the cutting fluid and prevents it from being reused, significantly increasing the cost of equipment operation. At the same time, chips and cutting fluid sometimes clog the inlet of the recovery device, causing structural blockage and reducing discharge efficiency.

[0006] Therefore, in view of this, the existing structure and defects are studied and improved, and a rapid chip removal device for a gantry machining center is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a rapid chip removal device for a gantry machining center includes a collection box 1 and an auxiliary air duct 5. A discharge assembly 2 is provided inside the collection box 1, and a filter screen plate 3 is horizontally mounted just below the discharge assembly 2. A guide plate 4 is mounted on one side of the output end of the collection box 1, and the auxiliary air duct 5 is symmetrically mounted on the left and right sides of the collection box 1. The auxiliary air duct 5 includes a connecting pipe 501, an external joint 502, a tee 503, a fixing frame 504, an adjustable hose 505 and an air nozzle 506. An external joint 502 is installed at one end of the connecting pipe 501, and a tee 503 is installed at the end of the connecting pipe 501 away from the external joint 502, and a fixing frame 504 is provided at the end of the tee 503 away from the external joint 502, and the top of the tee 503 is connected to the adjustable hose 505. The end of the adjustable hose 505 away from the tee 503 is equipped with an air nozzle 506, and the connecting pipe 501, the external joint 502, the tee 503, the fixing frame 504, the adjustable hose 505 and the air nozzle 506 are connected and fixed to each other by a flexible joint, and the tee 503 and the fixing frame 504 are staggered and equidistantly arranged to be connected with each other; the connecting pipe 501 is connected to the external fan by using an external pipe in conjunction with the external joint 502, so that the high-speed airflow generated by the operation of the fan can be transported to the air nozzle 506, and under the action of the air nozzle 506, the high-speed airflow is sprayed onto the surface of the lower hopper 102 and the interior of the main box body 101. The use of the above structure can quickly guide the waste chips and cutting fluid generated during the operation of the gantry machining center to the interior of the collection box 1.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the collecting box 1 includes a main box body 101, a lower hopper 102, a discharge port 103, a drainage pipe 104 and an assembly groove 105. The lower hopper 102 is installed on the top of the main box body 101, and a discharge port 103 is opened on one side of the main box body 101. The drainage pipe 104 is symmetrically installed on the lower end of the side of the main box body 101 away from the discharge port 103, and the inner wall of the main box body 101 is symmetrically provided with an assembly groove 105. The lower hopper 102 is mounted on the top opening of the main box body 101, and the lower hopper 102 is installed on the top opening of the main box body 101. The bucket 102 and the main box body 101 are movably connected, and the guide plate 4 is connected to the main box body 101 through a hinge, and the guide plate 4 is installed below the discharge port 103. The end of the discharge pipe 104 away from the main box body 101 is provided with a flange structure, and the discharge pipe 104 and the main box body 101 are welded. The discharge assembly 2 includes an auger 201, a transmission structure 202 and a servo motor 203. One end of the auger 201 is connected to the transmission structure 202 through a coupling, and the transmission structure 20 2 is connected to the power output end of the servo motor 203 at the middle of the side away from the auger 201. Three groups of auger 201 are arranged at equal distances inside the main box 101, and the end of the auger 201 away from the transmission structure 202 is connected to the main box 101 through the bearing seat structure. The transmission structure 202 is installed on the side surface of the main box 101 away from the discharge port 103. The filter plate 3 includes a metal filter 301, a support frame 302 and a handle 303. The edges of the metal filter 301 are equipped with support frames. The support frame 302 is provided with a handle 303 symmetrically installed on the surface of one side of the support frame 302 near the discharge port 103. The support frame 302 and the assembly groove 105 are slidably connected, and the handle 303 and the support frame 302 are welded. Since the assembly groove 105 is provided on the inner wall of the main box body 101, and the metal filter screen 301 is slidably connected to it by the support frame 302, the entire filter screen plate 3 can be horizontally pulled out from the inside of the collection box 1 by simply pulling the handle 303 for easy maintenance and cleaning.

[0027] In summary, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the rapid chip removal device of the gantry machining center is used. First, when the gantry machining center is in operation, the waste chips generated by machining the workpiece will flow into the lower hopper 102 on the top of the main box 101 together with the cutting fluid sprayed by the equipment, and then slide down into the interior of the main box 101 under the action of the lower hopper 102. During the falling process, the metal filter 301 slidably installed in the assembly groove 105 by the support frame 302 will quickly separate the waste chips from the cutting fluid.

[0028] At the same time, the discharge assembly 2 and the auxiliary air duct 5 will operate synchronously. By pre-connecting the pipe with the external connector 502, the external fan is connected. The high-speed airflow generated by the fan is conveyed through the connecting pipe 501, the tee 503 and the adjustable hose 505, and output from the air nozzle 506, thereby assisting the lower hopper 102 to convey the cutting fluid and waste chips into the collection box 1. The blowing of the high-speed airflow also prevents the accumulation of waste materials.

[0029] The filtered cutting fluid will flow to the bottom side of the main box body 101 and be discharged from the collecting box 1 along the drain pipe 104. Since a flange structure is provided at one end of the drain pipe 104, the discharged cutting fluid can be transported to the downstream processing equipment by pipeline connection to facilitate the recovery and recycling of the cutting fluid. In addition, the servo motor 203 drives the transmission structure 202 connected thereto to operate, and the transmission structure 202 drives the three groups of augers 201 connected thereto to rotate horizontally axially inside the main box body 101, thereby rotating and pushing out the waste material inside the main box body 101, so that the debris moves from the lower guide plate 4 of the discharge port 103 to the downstream conveying equipment for centralized storage and processing of the debris.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are provided for purposes of illustration and description and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific applications.
