Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective device technology, and in particular to a protective device for machine tool linear guideways. Background Technology

[0002] Linear guide rail protection devices generally refer to devices that protect the slider of linear guide rails. Linear guide rails, also known as linear rails, slide rails, linear guides, or linear slide rails, are used in high-precision or high-speed linear reciprocating motion applications. They can withstand a certain amount of torque and achieve high-precision linear motion under high loads. The function of linear guide rails is to support and guide moving parts to perform reciprocating linear motion in a given direction. Depending on the nature of friction, linear motion guide rails can be divided into sliding friction guide rails, rolling friction guide rails, elastic friction guide rails, and fluid friction guide rails. Linear bearings are mainly used in automated machinery. The moving and fixed elements of linear guide rails do not use an intermediate medium but rather rolling steel balls.

[0003] Currently, linear guides are needed in machine tools to guide machining components. Due to the turning process of machine tools, existing guides accumulate a lot of debris on their surface. Without human intervention, this can affect the safety of the machine tool. At the same time, manual cleaning by workers reduces the efficiency of the operation and increases the workload of workers. Therefore, we propose a machine tool linear guide protection device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The movement of the lathe body 2 can easily drive the protective component 3 to move accordingly, and the rotation of the rotary motor 301 can easily drive the cleaning wheel 302 and the cleaning brushes 303 to rotate. In addition, the rotation of the cleaning wheel 302 and the cleaning brushes 303 can easily clean the debris on the surface of the guide rail body 1, which improves the safety of the lathe body 2. At the same time, with the help of the scrapers 9, the debris adhering to the surface of the guide rail body 1 can be easily scraped off, which improves the stability of the lathe body 2 during operation.

[0023] A battery-powered light 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the two scrapers 9. The bottom surface of each scraper 9 is in contact with the upper surface of the guide rail body 1. The battery-powered light 4 can improve the visibility of debris and prevent debris from affecting the operation of the lathe body 2. An operating switch 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the lathe body 2. The rotating motor 301 is connected to the power supply through wires.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] First, install the protective component 3 onto the lathe body 2, connect the electrical components to the power supply, and press the operation switch 6 to start the lathe body 2. Simultaneously, the movement of the lathe body 2 causes the protective component 3 to move accordingly. Then, if there are debris accumulated on the surface of the guide rail 1, start the rotating motor 301. The rotation of the rotating motor 301 causes the cleaning wheel 302 and cleaning brush 303 to clean the debris on the surface of the guide rail 1. At the same time, the movement of the lathe body 2 allows the scraper 9 to scrape off the debris adhering to the surface of the guide rail 1 in advance, which improves the safety of the lathe body 2. The above is the complete usage process of this utility model.
