Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machine tool technology, and in particular to a waste chip collection device for CNC machine tools. Background Technology

[0002] A CNC machine tool is an automated machine tool equipped with a program control system that can move and process parts according to a pre-programmed sequence. CNC machine tools integrate mechanical, automation, computer, and microelectronic technologies, solving the problem of machining complex, precision, and small-batch parts. They are a flexible and highly efficient type of automated machine tool.

[0003] During machining, the chips generated by existing CNC machine tools accumulate at the bottom of the machine tool, which cannot be quickly cleaned and collected, resulting in chip buildup and affecting machining. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology, this utility model provides a waste chip collection device for CNC machine tools. Its purpose is to solve the problems of existing CNC machine tools accumulating waste chips at the bottom of the machine tool during processing, making it impossible to quickly clean and collect the chips, thus causing chip accumulation and affecting processing.

[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A waste chip collection device for CNC machine tools includes a collection box, a filter plate inside the collection box, a conveying mechanism above the filter plate, a partition on one side of the filter plate, and a pressing mechanism on one side of the partition. The pressing mechanism includes a first motor fixedly mounted on the collection box, a first auger fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor, a pressing cylinder fixedly connected to the end of the collection box away from the first motor, and a cutting mechanism on the pressing cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, the extrusion cylinder is funnel-shaped, and the end of the first auger away from the first motor extends into the interior of the extrusion cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly installed on the outer side of the collection box, a second motor is mounted on the mounting plate, and a plurality of evenly distributed second augers are rotatably connected to the collection box, one of which is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor, and each second auger is fixedly connected to a pulley, with a belt provided between every two adjacent pulleys.

[0009] Furthermore, the cutting mechanism includes a third motor fixedly mounted on the extrusion cylinder, and a cutting blade is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third motor.

[0010] Furthermore, a drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the outer side of the collection box.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the collection box is equipped with wheels.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This utility model discloses a waste chip collection device for CNC machine tools. Through a conveying mechanism, it can quickly transport waste chips generated by CNC machine tools to a designated location, ensuring timely collection and preventing waste chips from accumulating around the machine tool and affecting its normal operation. The filter plate inside the collection box can perform preliminary filtration of the waste chips, separating them from liquids such as cutting fluid. This allows the cutting fluid to flow downwards through the filter plate, achieving preliminary liquid-solid separation and facilitating subsequent recycling and reuse of the cutting fluid. A compression mechanism transports the filtered waste chips to a compression cylinder for compression, effectively compressing the volume of the waste chips, reducing their space occupation, and facilitating storage and transportation. A cutting mechanism further cuts the compressed waste chips into smaller pieces, facilitating recycling and improving recycling efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a waste chip collection device for CNC machine tools includes a collection box 1. Inside the collection box 1, there is a filter plate 2, whose main function is to perform preliminary filtration and separation of waste chips, separating waste chips from liquids such as cutting fluid, and achieving preliminary liquid-solid separation.

[0023] Above the filter plate 2, a conveying mechanism 3 is provided. The conveying mechanism 3 is supported by a mounting plate 301 installed on the outer side of the collection box 1, and a second motor 302 is mounted on the mounting plate 301. Several evenly distributed second augers 303 are rotatably connected to the collection box 1, and one of the second augers 303 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 302. Each second auger 303 is fixedly connected to a pulley 304, and every two adjacent pulleys 304 are driven by a belt 305. The conveying mechanism 3 can efficiently transport the waste chips generated by the CNC machine tool, ensuring timely collection of waste chips and preventing waste chips from accumulating around the machine tool and interfering with its normal operation.

[0024] A partition 4 is provided on one side of the filter plate 2, and a pressing mechanism 5 is provided on the other side of the partition 4. The pressing mechanism 5 consists of a first motor 6 fixedly installed on the collection box 1 and a first auger 7 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 6. A funnel-shaped pressing cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the collection box 1 away from the first motor 6. The end of the first auger 7 away from the first motor 6 extends into the interior of the pressing cylinder 8. By driving the first auger 7 through the first motor 6, the filtered waste can be transported into the pressing cylinder 8 for pressing, effectively compressing the volume of waste, reducing its space occupation, providing convenience for subsequent storage and transportation, and reducing processing costs.

[0025] A cutting mechanism 9 is also provided on the extrusion cylinder 8. The cutting mechanism 9 consists of a third motor 901 fixedly installed on the extrusion cylinder 8 and a cutting blade 902 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third motor 901. This cutting mechanism 9 can further cut the extruded waste chips, cutting larger pieces of waste chips into smaller pieces, which facilitates recycling and improves recycling efficiency.

[0026] A drain pipe 10 is connected to the bottom of the outer side of the collection box 1, which facilitates the discharge of the cutting fluid separated by the filter plate 2 into the collection box 1. This is beneficial for the centralized treatment and recycling of the cutting fluid and improves resource utilization.

[0027] The wheels 11 at the bottom of the collection box 1 allow the entire waste collection device to be moved easily and its position can be flexibly adjusted according to the layout of the CNC machine tool and actual production needs, thus enhancing the practicality of the equipment.
