During conveying, the waste materials are limited and guided by baffles 27 and limit plates 28 to ensure smooth transport. Simultaneously, workers can observe the waste material conveying process through transparent protective cover 4. Driven by belt 25, the waste materials are conveyed sequentially through the feed horizontal section, conveying and lifting section, and discharge horizontal section, finally reaching the support platform. The waste material is guided through the guide hood 6 on the machine tool 5 and then enters the collection trolley 7 through the guide hood 6, realizing the rapid cleaning of waste material, avoiding the accumulation of waste material, and ensuring the normal operation of the machine tool.
