Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC lathe cleaning technology, specifically to a CNC lathe chip removal and cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] During the machining of metal parts on a CNC lathe, a large amount of waste such as metal chips is generated. Currently, the chips from CNC lathes tend to remain in the corners inside the lathe or in the chip removal channel. If these residual chips are not cleaned in time, they will affect the machining accuracy of the lathe. Therefore, a chip removal and cleaning device is needed to clean up the waste such as metal chips.

[0003] Further research revealed that CN217071666U discloses a chip removal and cleaning device for CNC lathes. Through specific technical structural settings, it effectively solves the technical drawbacks of traditional worker cleaning methods, which involve using simple tools such as brushes to clean chips. This method may result in worker injuries due to improper operation, and the cleaning efficiency is also low.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned existing technology still has many defects in actual use. For example, the metal chips produced by CNC lathe machining contain other impurities. The collected metal chips need to be recycled and reused. The above structure does not have the function of filtering the collected metal chips, which leads to the presence of more other impurities in the metal chips, thus affecting the subsequent recycling and reuse of the metal chips and reducing the practicality of the device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a chip removal and cleaning device for CNC lathes, which solves the problem that the existing technology does not have the function of filtering the collected metal chips, resulting in a large number of other impurities in the metal chips, thus affecting the subsequent recycling and use of the metal chips.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a chip removal and cleaning device for CNC lathes, including a base, a cleaning mechanism for cleaning metal chips is provided at the top of the base, a filtering mechanism for filtering impurities is provided inside the cleaning mechanism, a high-pressure air pump is fixedly installed on the side of the base near the cleaning mechanism, a suction head for sucking up metal chips is provided at the output end of the cleaning mechanism, and a clamping mechanism for placing the suction head is provided on the side of the base away from the high-pressure air pump.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, rollers are mounted on both sides of the bottom end of the base via mounting brackets, and a pusher is fixedly mounted on one side of the outer wall of the base.

[0008] The above technical solution allows workers to easily push the device to one side of the CNC lathe by holding the pusher and using the rollers.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the cleaning mechanism includes a collection box and a motor. The bottom end of the collection box is fixedly installed on the top end of the base. A rotating shaft is rotatably installed at the bottom end inside the collection box. The end of the rotating shaft away from the collection box passes through the interior of the base. A top cover is installed on the top end of the collection box through a hinge. A flexible hose is connected to one side of the top of the top cover through a pipe. The input end of the flexible hose is connected to the output end of the suction head. One side of the outer wall of the collection box is connected to the output end of the high-pressure air pump through a pipe.

[0010] Using the above technical solution, the staff aligns the suction head with the surface of the CNC lathe, then starts the high-pressure air pump to generate suction. The suction is then transported through the inside of the collection box to the inside of the suction head via pipes and hoses, facilitating the suction head to extract and clean the metal chips on the surface of the CNC lathe, thus achieving the function of cleaning metal chips generated during the machining of metal parts on the CNC lathe.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the outer wall of the motor is mounted on the bottom end of the base via a mounting plate, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft via a shaft rod.

[0012] The above technical solution involves starting a motor to drive a rotating shaft, which in turn causes the inside of the filter collection box to rotate.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the filtering mechanism includes a filter screen, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating shaft, and an installation rod is installed on the internal thread of the filter screen. Electromagnetic sleeves are equidistantly fitted onto the surface of the installation rod.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the metal shavings sucked by the suction head enter the interior of the filter screen through the hose and pipe. The electromagnetic sleeve is energized to generate electromagnetic force, which facilitates the adsorption of the metal shavings inside the filter screen onto the surface of the electromagnetic sleeve. Meanwhile, impurities in the metal shavings are not adsorbed onto the surface of the electromagnetic sleeve, causing the impurities to accumulate inside the filter screen. At the same time, the rotating filter screen separates the impurities accumulated inside, thus achieving the function of filtering the cleaned metal shavings.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the clamping mechanism includes a support rod, the bottom end of which is fixedly installed on the top end of the base, and a fixing rod is fixedly installed on the top end of the support rod. Both ends of the surface of the fixing rod are fitted with shafts, and the outer walls of the two sets of shafts are fixedly connected with connecting rods.

[0016] With the above technical solution, when the staff presses the two sets of connecting rods, the two sets of relatively far-away connecting rods can drive the two sets of arc-shaped clamps to expand outward, making it convenient for the staff to remove the suction head from the inside of the two sets of arc-shaped clamps.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a spring is fixedly connected between the two sets of connecting rods, and an arc-shaped clamp is fixedly connected to the end of each set of connecting rods away from the spring, with the inner side of the two sets of arc-shaped clamps engaging with the surface of the suction head.

[0018] The above technical solution utilizes the elastic force of the spring to reset the two sets of connecting rods and the arc-shaped clamps, facilitating the clamping of the suction head by the two sets of arc-shaped clamps, thereby realizing the function of storing the suction head.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This invention allows workers to hold a suction head and aim it at the surface of a CNC lathe. By activating a high-pressure air pump, suction is generated, drawing metal shavings from the CNC lathe surface into the cleaning and filtering mechanisms. This cleans the metal shavings produced during the machining of metal parts on the CNC lathe. The filtering mechanism then filters out impurities from the collected metal shavings, preventing them from being contaminated with other impurities that could hinder their subsequent recycling and improving the device's practicality.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a chip removal and cleaning device for CNC lathes, including a base 1. Rollers 101 are mounted on both sides of the bottom of the base 1 via mounting brackets. A pusher 102 is fixedly mounted on one side of the outer wall of the base 1. The device can be easily pushed to one side of the CNC lathe by the operator holding the pusher 102 in conjunction with the rollers 101. A cleaning mechanism 2 for cleaning metal chips is provided at the top of the base 1. A high-pressure air pump 4 is fixedly mounted on the side of the base 1 near the cleaning mechanism 2. A suction head 5 for sucking up metal chips is provided at the output end of the cleaning mechanism 2. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a collection box 201 and a motor 204. The bottom of the collection box 201 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1. A rotating shaft 202 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the collection box 201. The end of the rotating shaft 202 away from the collection box 201 passes through the base 1. Inside the collection box 201, a top cover 203 is installed on the top of the collection box 201 via a hinge. A hose 205 is connected to one side of the top of the top of the top cover 203 via a pipe. The input end of the hose 205 is connected to the output end of the suction head 5. One side of the outer wall of the collection box 201 is connected to the output end of the high-pressure air pump 4 via a pipe. The outer wall of the motor 204 is installed at the bottom of the base 1 via a mounting plate. The output end of the motor 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 202 via a shaft rod. When the operator holds the suction head 5 and aligns it with the surface of the CNC lathe, the high-pressure air pump 4 is started to generate suction. The suction is delivered through the inside of the collection box 201 to the inside of the suction head 5 via the pipe and hose 205, so that the suction head 5 can suck up and clean the metal chips on the surface of the CNC lathe, thus realizing the function of cleaning metal chips generated by the CNC lathe in machining metal parts.

[0028] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 2 is equipped with a filter mechanism 3 for filtering impurities. The filter mechanism 3 includes a filter screen 301. The bottom end of the filter screen 301 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating shaft 202. An installation rod 302 is threaded inside the filter screen 301. Electromagnetic sleeves 303 are equidistantly fitted on the surface of the installation rod 302. Metal shavings sucked by the suction head 5 enter the interior of the filter screen 301 through the hose 205 and the pipe. When the electromagnetic sleeve 303 is energized, electromagnetic force is generated, which facilitates the adsorption of metal shavings inside the filter screen 301 onto the surface of the electromagnetic sleeve 303. Impurities in the metal shavings are not adsorbed onto the surface of the electromagnetic sleeve 303, causing impurities to accumulate inside the filter screen 301. At the same time, the motor 204 is started to drive the rotating shaft 202 to rotate. The rotating shaft 202 drives the interior of the collection box 201 of the filter screen 301 to rotate, which facilitates the separation of impurities accumulated inside the rotating filter screen 301, thus realizing the function of filtering the cleaned metal shavings.

[0029] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a clamping mechanism 6 for holding the suction head 5 is provided on the side of the base 1 away from the high-pressure air pump 4. The clamping mechanism 6 includes a support rod 601, the bottom end of which is fixedly installed on the top end of the base 1. A fixing rod 602 is fixedly installed on the top end of the support rod 601. Shafts 603 are fitted on both ends of the surface of the fixing rod 602. Connecting rods 604 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two sets of shafts 603. A spring 605 is fixedly connected between the two sets of connecting rods 604. An arc-shaped [unclear] is fixedly connected to the end of the two sets of connecting rods 604 away from the spring 605. Clips 606, the inner sides of two sets of arc-shaped clips 606 are engaged with the surface of the suction head 5. When the operator presses the two sets of connecting rods 604 again, the two sets of connecting rods 604, which are relatively far apart, drive the two sets of arc-shaped clips 606 to expand outward, making it convenient for the operator to insert the suction head 5 into the inner side of the two sets of arc-shaped clips 606. At the same time, the two sets of springs 605 are released, and the elastic force of the springs 605 drives the two sets of connecting rods 604 and arc-shaped clips 606 to return to their original positions, so that the two sets of arc-shaped clips 606 can hold the suction head 5, thereby realizing the function of storing the suction head 5.

[0030] Working principle: When it is necessary to clean the metal shavings generated by CNC lathe machining, the operator first pushes the device to one side of the CNC lathe by holding the pusher 102 and using the rollers 101. Then, the operator takes the suction head 5 out from the inside of the two sets of arc-shaped clamps 606. The operator then holds the suction head 5 and aligns it with the surface of the CNC lathe. At the same time, the high-pressure air pump 4 is started to generate suction. The suction is delivered to the inside of the suction head 5 through the collection box 201 via the pipe and hose 205, so that the suction head 5 can suck up and clean the metal shavings on the surface of the CNC lathe, thus realizing the function of cleaning the metal shavings generated by CNC lathe machining.

[0031] Metal shavings sucked up by suction head 5 enter the interior of filter screen 301 through hose 205 and pipe. Electromagnetic force is generated by energizing electromagnetic sleeve 303, which facilitates the adsorption of metal shavings inside filter screen 301 onto the surface of electromagnetic sleeve 303. Impurities within the metal shavings are not adsorbed onto the surface of electromagnetic sleeve 303, causing them to accumulate inside filter screen 301. Simultaneously, motor 204 is activated, driving shaft 202 to rotate. The rotating shaft 202 causes the collection box 201 of filter screen 301 to rotate, allowing the rotating filter screen 301 to separate the accumulated impurities, thus achieving cleaning. The filter screen has the function of filtering metal shavings. The separated impurities fall into the collection box 201. When it is necessary to clean the separated impurities inside the collection box 201, the top cover 203 is opened to open the outlet at the top of the collection box 201, so as to easily clean out the impurities accumulated inside the collection box 201. When it is necessary to collect the metal shavings adsorbed on the surface of the electromagnetic sleeve 303, the installation rod 302 is screwed to disengage it from the inside of the filter screen 301, and then the electromagnetic sleeve 303 is closed, so that the electromagnetic force of the electromagnetic sleeve 303 disappears, making it easier for the filtered metal shavings to fall down, thus facilitating the subsequent recycling and reuse of the metal shavings.

[0032] When it is not necessary to clean up metal shavings generated from CNC lathe machining, the high-pressure air pump 4 is turned off, so that it no longer generates suction. The operator then presses the two sets of connecting rods 604 again, which causes the two sets of arc-shaped clamps 606 to expand outward, making it easy for the operator to insert the suction head 5 into the inside of the two sets of arc-shaped clamps 606. At the same time, the two sets of springs 605 are released, and the elastic force of the springs 605 drives the two sets of connecting rods 604 and arc-shaped clamps 606 to return to their original positions, so that the two sets of arc-shaped clamps 606 can hold the suction head 5, thereby realizing the function of storing the suction head 5.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
