[0021] The material collection box is detachably connected to a movable plate, and multiple cross bolts are inserted through and connected to the outer side of the movable plate and the inner wall of the material collection box.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the movable plate of the collection box is detachably connected to the inner wall via multiple cross bolts. This facilitates periodic opening of the movable plate for cleaning accumulated debris inside the collection box, maintaining the efficient operation of the device. Furthermore, the cross bolt connection ensures a secure connection, guaranteeing that the movable plate will not loosen during device operation.

[0023] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0024] The bottom of the conveyor box is fixedly connected to a material transfer box, the inner wall of the material transfer box is fixedly connected to two inclined plates, and the outside of the material transfer box is provided with a grinding component that provides rotational capability.

The bolt holes 17 are opened in the inner wall of the connecting block 16, and the bolt group 18 is used to pass through the inner wall of the connecting block 16 and the conveying box 1.

[0045] Multiple support rods 19 are fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor box 1, serving to support the conveyor plate 20. The conveyor plate 20 is also fixedly connected to the top of the support rods 19, acting as the inlet for the rolled chips to enter the conveyor box 1. A movable plate 21 is detachably connected to the outside of the collection box 3. Multiple cross bolts 22 pass through and connect the movable plate 21 to the inner wall of the collection box 3. A conveyor box 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveyor box 1, serving as a transition channel for the rolled chips from the conveyor box 1 to the grinding assembly.

[0046] Working principle: The device is connected to the CNC machine tool through the connecting block 16 and the bolt group 18. The feed plate 20 is aligned with the position of the chips transmitted from the machine tool. When the chips are transmitted to the inside of the conveyor box 1 through the feed plate 20, the motor 5 is started. Its output end drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 7 drives the rotating wheel 10 to rotate with the threaded rod 7. The driven wheel 12 is driven to rotate through the belt 13, which in turn causes the threaded rod 11 to rotate.

[0047] When the threaded rod 11 rotates, it drives the scraper 14 to scrape the debris inside the conveyor box 1 into the material box 23. At the same time, when the threaded rod 7 rotates, it drives the weight 8 to slide inside the slide groove 9. Then, the motor 25 is started to drive the rotating shaft 26 to rotate. The rotating shaft 26 drives the gear 27 to rotate. The gear 27 drives the gear 29 to rotate. The gear 29 drives the rotating shaft 28 to rotate.

[0048] When rotating shaft 26 and rotating shaft 28 rotate, they drive crushing roller 6 to rotate relative to each other, grinding the debris for further processing. The ground debris is then transferred to the inside of the collection box 3 by gravity. When the weight 8 slides left and right, it compresses the debris inside the collection box 3 into blocks. Then the machine is turned off, and by turning the cross bolt 22, the movable plate 21 is opened, making it easy to remove the debris blocks for recycling.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model 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 utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
