Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machine tool blanking technology, specifically to a receiving device. Background Technology

[0002] A CNC machine tool is an automated machine tool equipped with a program control system. This control system can logically process programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions, decode them, represent them with coded numbers, and input them into the CNC device via an information carrier. After processing, the CNC device sends control signals to control the machine tool to start moving and automatically process the part according to the specified dimensions. Components include the CNC system, coolant nozzles (spraying coolant towards the workpiece to be processed), machine tool guideways (supporting and guiding the precise movement of various components), and chucks (clamping and rotating the workpiece to be processed), etc.

[0003] In existing CNC machine tools, there is no automatic material receiving device. The product falls to the bottom of the machine tool along with the iron filings generated during processing. The material needs to be picked up manually, which takes a long time and requires the worker to stay by the machine tool and perform repeated material picking work. If the product falls to the bottom of the machine tool along with the iron filings generated during processing, manual separation is also required, which can easily cause the product to be dropped, bumped, or scratched. As a result, one person can only operate a maximum of two CNC lathes, which greatly limits the processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a receiving device for use on machine tools.

[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A receiving device includes a base and an S-shaped receiving pipe, the receiving pipe being fixed to the base by a clamp, the receiving pipe including a first section, a middle section and a last section connected end to end in sequence, the middle section being inclined downward between the first section and the last section, and also including a storage box located below the last section, the storage box having a plurality of leakage holes evenly distributed thereon.

[0007] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model:

[0008] The automatic receiving device consists of a base, a receiving tube, a loading box, and clamps. The plastic receiving tube is tightly connected and fixed to the base by the clamps and screws. The base is slidably connected to the machine tool's guide rail. When the machine tool is processing products, the receiving tube is away from the machine tool's processing surface, and the metal chips automatically fall to the bottom of the machine tool. During receiving, the sliding base moves directly under the product, the CNC lathe's chuck releases, and the product falls into the receiving tube. The middle section of the receiving tube has a certain slope (the slope is adjusted according to the type and size of the product), allowing the product to easily enter the loading box along the receiving tube. Simultaneously, the coolant nozzle can be opened, spraying coolant towards the product, allowing both the product and coolant to enter the receiving tube together. The coolant lubricates the inner wall of the receiving tube, making it easier for the product to enter the loading box. The bottom of the loading box has multiple drainage holes, allowing the coolant to automatically drain out and circulate.

[0009] During CNC lathe processing, the receiving tube detaches from the chuck, and the iron filings fall to the bottom of the machine tool. The staggered receiving can effectively prevent iron filings from entering the product, effectively prevent material mixing and separation, ensure product quality, and realize the automation of CNC lathe. Previously, one person could only operate two machine tools, but now one person can operate eight machine tools, increasing production efficiency by 4 times.

[0010] Furthermore, a collection hopper is fixedly provided at the bottom of the container, and a collection pipe is connected to the collection hopper. Coolant leaks into the collection hopper from multiple leakage holes in the container, and is then collected uniformly through the collection pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of clamps is two, and they are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the base. This optimized solution can reinforce the receiving pipe and ensure stable material reception.

[0012] Furthermore, the downward tilt angle of the middle section is 15 to 20 degrees. This tilt angle allows the product to slide out, while also preventing the tilt angle from being too large, allowing the coolant to slowly slide out of the receiving pipe and lubricate the inner wall of the receiving pipe as much as possible.

[0013] Furthermore, the first and middle sections are rotatably connected. This connection method allows the first section to be rotated to the chuck of the CNC lathe for receiving materials.

[0014] Furthermore, the base is fixedly equipped with a connecting shaft, and a swing arm is coaxially rotatably connected to the connecting shaft. The swing arm is fixedly connected to the storage box. By rotating the swing arm, the position of the storage box is changed, thereby changing the feeding position and ensuring that the product is evenly distributed inside the storage box.

[0017] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure during CNC machine tool processing;

[0018] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure during material receiving. Detailed Implementation

[0019] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0020] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: 1. Leakage hole; 2. Storage box; 3. End section; 4. Clamp; 5. Middle section; 6. First section; 7. Base; 8. Clamp; 9. Guide rail; 10. Product.

[0021] In the following statements, directional terms such as "left," "right," "up," and "down" are based on the directions shown in the diagram. In practice, if the corresponding structures are changed in the same direction based on the direction while maintaining their relative positions, it will not affect the implementation of the plan.

[0022] Example: A receiving device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a base 7 and an S-shaped receiving pipe. The receiving pipe is fixed to the base 7 by two clamps 4. The receiving pipe includes a first section 6, a middle section 5 and a last section 3 that are fixedly connected and communicate with each other in sequence. The middle section 5 is inclined downward between the first section 6 and the last section 3 at an inclination angle of 20 degrees. It also includes a storage box 2 located below the last section 3. The position of the storage box 2 can be freely placed. The bottom of the storage box 2 has multiple leakage holes 1 evenly distributed.

[0023] The receiving device consists of a base 7, a receiving pipe, a storage box 2, and a clamp 4. The plastic receiving pipe is tightly connected and fixed to the base 7 by the clamp 4 and screws. The base 7 is slidably connected to the machine tool's guide rail 9. Figure 3 As shown, when the machine tool processes product 10, the receiving pipe is far from the machining surface of the machine tool, and the iron chips automatically fall to the bottom of the machine tool, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, during material receiving, the sliding base 7 moves directly below the product 10, and the chuck 8 of the CNC lathe releases, allowing the product 10 to fall into the receiving tube. The middle section 5 of the receiving tube has a certain slope (the slope is adjusted according to the type and size of the product 10), allowing the product 10 to easily enter the loading box 2 along the receiving tube. Simultaneously, the coolant nozzle can be opened, spraying coolant towards the product 10, allowing the product 10 and coolant to enter the receiving tube together. The coolant lubricates the inner wall of the receiving tube, making it easier for the product 10 to enter the loading box 2. The loading box 2 has multiple drain holes 1 at its bottom, allowing the coolant to automatically drain from the loading box 2, achieving coolant circulation.

[0024] When machining on a CNC lathe, the receiving tube is far away from the chuck 8, and the iron filings fall to the bottom of the machine tool. The staggered receiving can effectively prevent the iron filings from mixing with the product 10, effectively prevent mixing and separation of materials, ensure the quality of the product 10, and realize the automation of the CNC machine tool. Previously, one person could only operate two machine tools, but now one person can operate eight machine tools, and the production efficiency has increased by 4 times.

[0025] Among them, the clamp 8 and the coolant nozzle are existing technologies, and their structure and working principle will not be described in detail.

[0026] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
