Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool cleaning technology, specifically a precision mechanical manufacturing and processing cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Precision machining is a high-precision, high-quality mechanical manufacturing technology. Its machining accuracy can reach or even exceed 1 micrometer. It is mainly achieved through processes such as precision turning, precision boring, precision milling, and precision grinding, using precision machine tools and measuring instruments under strictly controlled environmental conditions. This technology is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical fields and is one of the key technologies in modern mechanical manufacturing process systems. With the development of CNC technology and automation technology, precision machining has achieved high-efficiency production and is continuously developing towards intelligence and green development.

[0003] During precision machining of parts on machine tools, a significant amount of waste debris is generated. This debris falls onto the surface of the machine tool's worktable or the surface of the slide rails that move the machine head / tool ​​post, requiring cleaning. Debris on the slide rail surface, in particular, can affect its normal operation if not cleaned promptly. Existing technology uses air blowing for cleaning. However, because slide rails come in different specifications and have varying surface shapes, air blowing requires different angles. Current technology uses a fixed air blowing angle, which cannot effectively address slide rails of different specifications, often resulting in debris remaining un-blown and hindering cleaning efficiency. Therefore, we propose a precision machining cleaning device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a precision mechanical manufacturing and processing cleaning device. By setting a horizontal plate, it can be installed and fixed on the side of the machine tool head or tool holder, parallel to the worktable surface and perpendicular to the slide rail. The evenly arranged air pipes can be adjusted at will by rotating the hollow ball inside the ball groove, thereby achieving a better blowing and cleaning effect for slide rails of different specifications, ensuring that waste chips are effectively blown away and cleaned, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a precision mechanical manufacturing and cleaning device, comprising a horizontal plate and a hollow sphere. The horizontal plate has multiple spherical grooves evenly spaced inside. The hollow sphere is rotatably placed within the grooves. Openings communicating with the grooves are provided on the surface of the horizontal plate above and below the grooves. A rubber pad is placed inside the grooves, contacting the grooves and the surface of the hollow sphere. An air blowing pipe communicating with the interior of the hollow sphere and extending downwards through the opening is connected to the lower part of the hollow sphere. An air inlet pipe communicating with the interior of the hollow sphere and extending upwards through the opening is connected to the upper part of the hollow sphere. A solenoid valve is also installed on the air inlet pipe. Side plates are welded and fixed to the sides of the horizontal plate, and multiple mounting plates are evenly connected to the sides of the side plates via connecting rods.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the horizontal plate is installed and fixed on the side of the machine tool head or tool post. By moving the air pipe, the hollow ball can be rotated in the ball groove, thereby adjusting the air pipe to any angle required. When the machine tool is working, the horizontal plate moves together with the machine tool head or tool post, so that the air pipe blows air downwards, which facilitates the blowing and cleaning of waste chips on the worktable or slide rail surface.

[0007] Optionally, the connecting rod body consists of a sleeve and a rod. The sleeve is fixed to the surface of the mounting plate, while the rod is fixed to the surface of the side plate. The end of the rod can be slidably inserted into the inside of the sleeve.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance between the mounting plate and the side plate can be adjusted. When there is a raised surface on the machine tool head or tool holder base, the verticality of the horizontal plate and the slide rail can be maintained by adjusting the distance between the mounting plate and the side plate.

[0009] Optionally, a locking bolt is connected to the upper surface of the insert near the insert rod by a screw connection, and the end of the locking bolt penetrates into the insert and abuts against the outer surface of the insert rod.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance between the mounting plate and the side plate is changed by altering the depth of the insertion rod into the insert cylinder, and tightening the locking bolt can achieve the purpose of locking it.

[0011] Optionally, the mounting plate has multiple perforations evenly distributed around its outer surface, with the perforations penetrating both sides of the mounting plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate can be locked to the base of the machine tool head or tool holder using through bolts.

[0013] Optionally, a magnet is embedded and fixed inside the mounting plate, with the magnet located in the middle of the mounting plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate can also be magnetically attached to the base surface of the machine tool head or tool holder.

[0015] Optionally, an anti-slip pad is fixed to the surface of the mounting plate, and the anti-slip pad is fixed to the surface of the mounting plate by means of adhesion.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mounting plate is locked onto the base surface of the machine tool head or tool holder, the anti-slip pad provides cushioning and anti-slip effects.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application are as follows:

[0018] 1. The technical solution of this application allows the horizontal plate to be installed and fixed on the side of the machine tool head or tool holder, parallel to the worktable surface and perpendicular to the slide rail. The evenly arranged air pipes can be adjusted at will by rotating the hollow ball inside the ball groove, thus achieving a better blowing and cleaning effect for slide rails of different specifications and ensuring that waste chips are effectively blown away and cleaned.

[0019] 2. The technical solution of this application also embeds and fixes magnets inside the mounting plate, so that in addition to using bolts to lock the mounting plate, magnetic attraction can also be used to lock the mounting plate.

[0020] 3. The technical solution of this application fixes the mounting plate to the side of the horizontal plate through a telescopic insert and rod structure. When the base of the machine tool head or tool holder is an irregular rectangle with an outward protruding plane, the distance between the mounting plate and the horizontal plate at different positions can be adjusted to ensure that the horizontal plate can remain perpendicular to the slide rail after it is installed and fixed.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a precision mechanical manufacturing and cleaning device, comprising a horizontal plate 1 and a hollow ball 2. Multiple spherical grooves 11 are equidistantly arranged inside the horizontal plate 1, allowing the hollow ball 2 to be rotatably placed within the grooves 11. Openings 12 communicating with the grooves 11 are provided on the surface of the horizontal plate 1 above and below the grooves 11. Rubber pads 111 are placed inside the grooves 11, contacting the surfaces of the grooves 11 and the hollow ball 2. An air blowing pipe 2, communicating with the interior of the hollow ball 2 and extending downwards through the openings 12, is connected to the lower part of the hollow ball 2. 1. The hollow ball 2 is connected to the top of an air inlet pipe 22 that communicates with its interior and passes through the opening 12 to the top. The air inlet pipe 22 is also equipped with a solenoid valve 221. When in use, the air inlet pipe 21 can be held and moved to make the hollow ball 2 rotate inside the ball groove 11. The air blowing angle of the air inlet pipe 21 can be adjusted. After adjusting to a suitable angle, the angle of the hollow ball 2 and the air inlet pipe 21 will be locked due to the action of the rubber pad 111. The air inlet pipe 21 can be adjusted to the required angle to meet the needs of different specifications of slide rails.

[0027] The horizontal plate 1 is welded and fixed to the side of the side plate 1. The side plate 13 is connected to multiple mounting plates 3 at equal intervals through the connecting rod. Multiple through holes 33 are evenly opened on the outer ring of the surface of the mounting plate 3. The through holes 33 penetrate both sides of the mounting plate 3. Anti-slip pads 35 are also fixed to the surface of the mounting plate 3. The anti-slip pads 35 are fixed to the surface of the mounting plate 3 by adhering to it. In use, the horizontal plate 1 is placed on the side of the base of the machine tool head or tool post. The mounting plate 3 is pressed against the side surface of the base of the machine tool head or tool post through the anti-slip pads 35. Then, bolts are used to penetrate the mounting plate 3 and screw it into the reserved screw holes on the surface of the base of the machine tool head or tool post to lock the mounting plate 3, thereby locking the horizontal plate 1. The horizontal plate 1 is kept parallel to the surface of the machine tool worktable and perpendicular to the slide rail. Therefore, when the machine tool head or tool post is moved by the slide rail, the horizontal plate 1 can move together with the slide rail in a state of perpendicularity.

[0028] In addition, a magnet 34 is embedded and fixed inside the mounting plate 3. The magnet 34 is located in the middle of the mounting plate 3. In addition to locking the mounting plate 3 with bolts, the mounting plate 3 can also be magnetically attracted and locked to the base side surface of the machine tool head or tool holder.

[0029] While achieving the above objectives, after connecting the air inlet pipe 22 to the high-pressure air source and opening the solenoid valve 221, high-pressure gas can be blown out from the air blowing pipe 21 and act on the surface of the worktable and slide rail. The air blowing pipe 21 moves together with the horizontal plate 1, thereby blowing away and cleaning the waste on the surface of the worktable or slide rail.

[0030] In actual installation and use, since the base of the machine tool head or tool holder may not be a regular rectangle, there may be outward protruding planes on the side of the machine tool head or tool holder base. If the length of the connecting rod remains unchanged, the horizontal plate 1 will be in an inclined state instead of being fixed in a perpendicular state with the slide rail. Therefore, the connecting rod is composed of a sleeve 31 and a rod 32. The sleeve 31 is fixed to the surface of the mounting plate 3, while the rod 32 is fixed to the surface of the side plate 13. The end of the rod 32 can be slidably inserted into the inside of the sleeve 31, which can change the distance between the mounting plate 3 and the side plate 13 at different positions, thereby ensuring that the horizontal plate 1 can move together with the slide rail while maintaining a perpendicular state after installation and locking.

[0031] In addition, a locking bolt 311 is connected to the upper surface of the insert 31 near the insert rod 32 by screwing. The end of the locking bolt 311 penetrates into the insert 31 and abuts against the outer surface of the insert rod 32. After the depth of the insert rod 32 inserted into the insert 31 changes and the distance between the mounting plate 3 and the side plate 13 changes, tightening the locking bolt 311 can achieve the purpose of locking it.

[0032] In use, place the horizontal plate 1 on the side of the machine tool head or tool post, making it parallel to the surface of the worktable and parallel to the slide rail. The mounting plate 3 at the end of the insert 31 is in contact with the side surface of the machine tool head or tool post. Use bolts through the through holes 33 to lock the mounting plate 3 to the side surface of the machine tool head or tool post, or use magnets 34 to attract the mounting plate 3 to the side surface of the machine tool head or tool post to fix the horizontal plate 1. When the side surface of the machine tool head or tool post has a protruding or concave surface, before locking the mounting plate 3, loosen the locking bolt 311 and adjust the depth of the insert rod 32 inserted into the insert 31 to change the distance of the mounting plate 3 at the corresponding position. After adjusting the spacing of the horizontal plate 1, tighten the locking bolt 311 to ensure that the horizontal plate 1 can remain perpendicular to the slide rail and move together after installation and locking. Then connect all the air inlet pipes 22 to the high-pressure air source. Then move the air blowing pipe 21 located below the hollow ball 2 to make it rotate the hollow ball 2 inside the ball groove 11. Adjust the blowing angle of the air blowing pipe 21. After adjusting to the appropriate angle, the angle of the hollow ball 2 and the air blowing pipe 21 will be locked due to the action of the rubber pad 111. During use, the horizontal plate 1 will move together with the machine tool head or tool post. When the solenoid valve 221 is opened, the high-pressure gas enters the hollow ball 2 and blows downward from the air blowing pipe 21 to blow the surface of the worktable or slide rail to clean and remove waste.
