[0002] CNC lathes are high-precision, high-efficiency automated machine tools. During CNC lathe machining operations, cutting, stamping, and other processes inevitably generate a large amount of material waste. This waste needs to be discharged outside the CNC lathe through a chip removal mechanism. The chip removal mechanism is an important structural component of the CNC lathe; its main function is to effectively remove chips from the machine tool's working area, maintaining a clean and safe working environment.

[0003] Currently, existing chip removal mechanisms have a fixed overall structure. Due to the complex working environment of CNC lathes and the fixed structure of the chip removal mechanism, the surrounding area of ​​the CNC lathe is usually not effectively suitable for the use of the chip removal mechanism, thus reducing its applicability. Some chip removal mechanisms also have low chip cleaning efficiency. During the operation of CNC lathes, a large amount of chips are usually generated in a short period of time. If the chips cannot be cleaned up quickly, they will accumulate and affect the normal operation of the CNC lathe. Therefore, we have proposed a chip removal mechanism for CNC lathes to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a chip removal mechanism for a CNC lathe, including a chip collection body 1, the chip collection body 1 is mounted on a first support 2, a waste liquid collection component for collecting cooling waste liquid is provided on the lower side of the chip collection body 1, and a liquid outlet 3 is provided at the bottom of the waste liquid collection component.

[0025] Furthermore, the waste liquid collection assembly includes a filter plate 5, a collection hopper 18, a drain trough 19, and a support frame 20. The support frame 20 is fixed inside the waste debris collection body 1, and the filter plate 5 is installed on the upper side of the support frame 20, which can separate the waste debris from the cooling waste liquid. The collection hopper 18 is fixed below the waste debris collection body 1, and the drain trough 19 is fixed below the collection hopper 18. The drain trough 19 has an outlet 3 on its lower side, which can quickly complete the collection of cooling waste liquid.

[0026] Furthermore, the filter plate 5 is a detachable structure inside the waste collection body 1, which facilitates cleaning of the filter plate 5 and the space below it. The upper side of the filter plate 5 is flush with the top of the discharge ports 6 on both sides of the waste collection body 1, so that the movement of waste is not affected, thereby ensuring that the waste enters the discharge port 6 normally.

[0027] Furthermore, the liquid collecting hopper 18 is funnel-shaped, the bottom of the drain trough 19 is inclined, and the liquid outlet 3 is located at the lowest point of the bottom of the drain trough 19, which effectively avoids the accumulation of cooling waste liquid and facilitates the recycling of cooling waste liquid.

[0028] The waste collection body 1 is equipped with a cleaning component for cleaning up the waste inside the waste collection body 1. The cleaning component moves left and right inside the waste collection body 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the cleaning components include a scraper 7, a screw 14, and a reinforcing plate 16. A protective cover 4 is fixed to the upper side of the waste collection body 1, and the screw 14 is installed inside the protective cover 4. The protective cover 4 can prevent waste from falling onto the screw 14, ensuring that the threaded connection of the screw 14 works normally. The reinforcing plate 16 is threadedly connected to the screw 14, and the scraper 7 is fixed to the outside of the reinforcing plate 16. The stable connection between the reinforcing plate 16 and the screw 14 ensures the stable displacement of the scraper 7. The combined dimensions of the reinforcing plate 16 and the scraper 7 are adapted to the internal dimensions of the waste collection body 1, which can clean the waste on the filter plate 5 more thoroughly.

[0030] Furthermore, limiting sleeves 15 are fixed on both sides of the reinforcing plate 16. The limiting sleeves 15 are threadedly connected to the screw 14, which further improves the stability of the connection between the reinforcing plate 16 and the screw 14. The length of the limiting sleeves 15 is greater than the length of the upper opening of the discharge ports 6 on both sides of the waste collection body 1, which can restrict the movement of the scraper 7, so that the scraper 7 always moves on the filter plate 5, ensuring that the scraper 7 cleaning work is carried out normally.

[0031] Furthermore, limit switches 17 are installed inside the protective covers 4 at both ends of the screw 14. The limit switches 17 are electrically connected to the motor that drives the screw 14 to rotate, so that the screw 14 can rotate in both directions through the limit switches 17, thereby realizing the forward and reverse displacement of the scraper 7 on the filter plate 5, and quickly completing the cleaning of waste on the filter plate 5.

[0032] The waste collection body 1 has discharge ports 6 on both sides. A connecting seat 11 is connected to the lower part of the discharge port 6 via a bearing 21. The connecting seat 11 is fixed to the waste conveying body 10. A second bracket 8 is fixed to the outside of the waste conveying body 10. A caster wheel 9 is installed at the lower end of the second bracket 8.

[0033] Furthermore, the waste conveying body 10 forms a rotating structure below the discharge port 6 via the connecting seat 11, which can change the working position of the waste conveying body 10 and improve the working applicability of the waste conveying body 10.

[0034] Furthermore, a detachable discharge port 12 is installed on the lower side of the upper end of the waste conveying body 10. A paddle 13 is fixed inside the discharge port 12. The paddle 13 is curved, which makes it elastic and can perform better cleaning when it comes into contact with the chain plate 22. The upper end of the paddle 13 is in contact with the chain plate 22 inside the waste conveying body 10, and the paddle 13 is located on the lower side of the chain plate 22. During the movement of the chain plate 22, the paddle 13 can clean the residual waste on the chain plate 22, so as to avoid the residual waste on the chain plate 22 affecting the normal conveying operation.

[0035] Working principle: When using the chip removal mechanism of this CNC lathe, first install the chip collection body 1 at the chip discharge position of the CNC lathe to ensure that the chips and coolant generated by the CNC lathe can enter the chip collection body 1. Then, adjust the working position of the chip conveying body 10 according to the working environment around the CNC lathe.

[0036] When adjusting the chip conveying body 10, the second support 8 is directly pushed. With the assistance of the caster wheel 9, the chip conveying body 10 rotates below the discharge port 6, changing the working position of the chip conveying body 10 so that the chip removal mechanism can be adapted to the working environment of CNC lathes.

[0037] When the CNC lathe starts working, a large amount of waste chips are generated. The waste chips enter the waste chip collection body 1. The waste chip collection body 1 is equipped with a filter plate 5. Therefore, the cooling waste liquid contained in the waste chips will be filtered by the filter plate 5. The cooling waste liquid falls into the liquid collection hopper 18 and is quickly collected through the drain trough 19 and the liquid outlet 3.

[0038] The waste residue left after filtration accumulates on the filter plate 5. The screw 14 is driven by the motor. The rotation of the screw 14 causes the reinforcing plate 16 to move the scraper 7 on the filter plate 5. During the movement of the scraper 7, the waste residue on the filter plate 5 can be pushed into the discharge port 6. The reinforcing plate 16 is provided with limit sleeves 15 on both sides to ensure that the scraper 7 is always in the displacement of the filter plate 5, thereby effectively cleaning the waste residue on the filter plate 5. At the same time, the screw 14 is provided with limit switches 17 at both ends. When the scraper 7 moves to the end, the limit sleeves 15 touch the limit switches 17, causing the screw 14 to reverse, thereby realizing the reverse movement of the scraper 7, thus quickly cleaning the waste residue on the filter plate 5.

[0039] When the waste enters the feed port 6, the chain plate 22 in the waste conveying body 10 is driven by the motor and drive shaft, and the waste can be conveyed upward through the chain plate 22 and finally discharged through the discharge port 12. At this time, a waste collection bucket is placed below the discharge port 12 to complete the waste collection. During the conveying process of the chain plate 22, a paddle 13 is provided in the discharge port 12 to clean the waste residue on the chain plate 22.

[0040] The above describes the working process of the chip removal mechanism. Any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0041] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
