[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4The present invention provides an embodiment of a chip removal device for a machining center, comprising a machining center device 1, a workbench 3 fixedly connected to the rear side of the top wall of the machining center device 1, through which parts can be processed, a fixed rod 4 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top wall of the machining center device 1, a rotating block 5 rotatably connected to the middle of the fixed rod 4, a hydraulic rod 6 fixedly connected to one side of the rotating block 5, and the rotating connection between the rotating block 5 and the fixed rod 4 enables the right end of the hydraulic rod 6 to synchronously assist in rotation when started, the bottom end of the hydraulic rod 6 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 7, the inner wall of the rotating plate 7 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 8, and the outer wall of the rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 7. The wall is rotatably connected to a pressure plate 9, and the left and right sides of the inner wall of the pressure plate 9 are rotatably connected to a swivel 10. The outer wall of the swivel 10 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 11. By starting the hydraulic rod 6, its bottom end can drive the pressure plate 9 to move, and then under the rotation of the rotating plate 7, the rotating rod 8 and the swivel 10, the pressure plate 9 is deflected downward with the connecting plate 11 as the axis, so that it can contact with the metal chips to achieve the purpose of applying pressure. One side of the connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the machining center equipment 1. The bottom wall of the pressure plate 9 is provided with a mounting groove 12. The inner wall of the machining center equipment 1 is rotatably installed with a chip removal screw 13. The bottom walls of the two pressure plates 9 are provided with a replacement mechanism 2;

[0040] Specifically, by starting the hydraulic rod 6, the bottom end of the hydraulic rod 6 drives the rotating plate 7 and the rotating rod 8 to move, but under the restricted rotation of the connecting plate 11, the rotating rod 8 starts to rotate, and the rotating plate 7 and the rotating ring 10 rotate synchronously under the connection of the pressure plate 9, and then the pressure plate 9 can only flip downward with the two connecting plates 11 and the rotating ring 10 as the axis, and the bottom side of the pressure plate 9 will contact the metal chips attached to the surface of the chip removal screw 13. Under the pressure of the pressure plate 9, the metal chips will be discharged along the axial direction of the chip removal screw 13, thereby avoiding the possibility of metal chips accumulating and affecting the smooth progress of the chip removal work, while reducing the labor cost of manually cleaning metal chips, shortening the downtime for maintenance, and improving the overall production efficiency.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5The locking plate 204 is engaged with the locking groove 205, and the top of the locking plate 204 is engaged with the locking groove 205, and the locking plate 204 is engaged with the locking groove 205, so that the mounting shell 202 and the extension plate 203 can be initially limited. The bottom wall of the locking plate 204 is threadedly connected with a bolt 206, and the top of the bolt 206 is threadedly connected to the bottom wall of the pressing plate 9, and then the bolt 206 makes it possible to fix the extension plate 203 and the locking plate 204.

[0042] Specifically, by lifting the pressure plate 9 upward, the bolt 206 can be rotated, so that the top side of the locking plate 204 can be separated from the locking groove 205 at the bottom of the mounting shell 202. By flipping the locking plate 204, its lock on the mounting shell 202 can be released. By flipping the mounting shell 202 downward and pulling the extension plate 203 at the same time, the extension plate 203 can be pulled out from the inside of the mounting shell 202. This process allows us to easily disassemble and replace the damaged extension plate 203, thereby improving the flexibility of the pressure plate 9 during use. In addition, this method also effectively reduces the frequency of the need for overall replacement due to damage to the bottom of the pressure plate, thereby saving maintenance costs and increasing the service life of the equipment.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The replacement mechanism 2 also includes two rubber rings 207, the inner walls of the two rubber rings 207 are respectively fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the corresponding bolt 206; the right side of the machining center equipment 1 is fixedly connected to the control switch 14, and the control switch 14 is electrically connected to the machining center equipment 1 and the hydraulic rod 6 respectively; the front and rear sides of the bottom wall of the machining center equipment 1 are fixedly connected to the support frame 15, and the left and right sides of the bottom of the support frame 15 are fixedly installed with corner pads 16;

[0044] Specifically, the rubber ring 207 reduces the rotational damage of the bolt 206 to the locking plate 204, thereby improving the protection effect on the bottom of the locking plate 204. The control switch 14 is electrically connected to the machining center equipment 1 and the hydraulic rod 6 respectively, so that the control switch 14 can complete the opening and closing of the device. The support frame 15 and the corner pad 16 can stabilize the front and rear sides of the device during operation, reducing shaking.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 Observation windows 18 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the workbench 3, and the outer walls of the two observation windows 18 are smooth; the left and right sides of the outer walls of the multiple swivels 10 are fixedly connected with protective pads 17, and the outer shapes of the multiple protective pads 17 are square; the left and right sides of the inner wall of the machining center equipment 1 are provided with inclined surfaces, and the two inclined surfaces are symmetrically designed;

[0046] Specifically, the observation window 18 allows the processing conditions inside the workbench 3 to be observed, and the protective pad 17 allows the outer wall of the swivel 10 to be protected when it rotates, thereby reducing wear. The inclined surface is set to improve the pressure resistance of the left and right sides of the machining center equipment 1.

[0047] Working principle: When starting to use, by starting the hydraulic rod 6, the bottom end of the hydraulic rod 6 drives the rotating plate 7 and the rotating rod 8 to move, so that when the rotating rod 8 is driven, the rotating plate 7 and the rotating ring 10 rotate synchronously under the connection of the pressure plate 9, but the two connecting plates 11 limit the displacement of the pressure plate 9, so that the pressure plate 9 is turned downward with the two connecting plates 11 as the axis, so that the bottom side of the pressure plate 9 contacts the metal chips attached to the surface of the chip removal screw 13, so that the metal chips can be pressed down by the pressure of the pressure plate 9 on the chip removal screw 13, and then the metal chips will be discharged along the axial direction of the chip removal screw 13, avoiding the accumulation of metal chips affecting chip removal The work is carried out in a timely manner, reducing the labor cost of manual cleaning and shortening the downtime for maintenance. By lifting the pressure plate 9 upward and turning the bolt 206, the top side of the locking plate 204 can be separated from the locking groove 205 at the bottom of the mounting shell 202, and the locking plate 204 is flipped to release the lock on the mounting shell 202. By flipping the mounting shell 202 downward and pulling the extension plate 203, the extension plate 203 can be pulled out from the inside of the mounting shell 202, thereby achieving the purpose of disassembling and replacing the damaged extension plate 203, improving the flexibility of the pressure plate 9 when in use, and reducing the situation where the bottom of the pressure plate is damaged and needs to be replaced as a whole.
