[0002] A machine tool is a mechanical device used for metalworking or processing other materials, playing a crucial role in manufacturing. Structurally, a machine tool typically includes a bed, worktable, spindle box, and feed mechanism. The bed, as the basic support component, provides a stable mounting platform for other components and is generally made of high-strength cast iron or similar materials to ensure sufficient rigidity and stability to withstand various forces and vibrations during processing. The worktable is used to place the workpiece to be processed; its surface typically has high precision and flatness, and it can move precisely in different directions to allow for multi-directional processing operations.

[0003] When machine tools process workpieces, they generate a lot of chips. At this time, chip collection devices are needed to collect the chips. Currently, most existing chip collection devices for machine tools cannot adjust the angle of the suction head, which makes it difficult to collect chips in some dead corners. Over time, the chips tend to accumulate, affecting the use of the machine tool and reducing the chip collection effect, which is a defect. Utility Model Content

[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Combination Figure 1-2 to Figure 3 A chip collection device for a machine tool includes a mounting plate 1, with casters fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 1, and second cylinders 5 fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the mounting plate 1. A material box 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the second cylinders 5, and a chip collection mechanism 2 is provided inside the material box 4. A solid-liquid separation mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of the chip collection mechanism 2.

[0026] The debris collection mechanism 2 includes a support member 22, which is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the material box 4. A first connecting pipe 21 is rotatably connected inside the support member 22. A second connecting pipe 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first connecting pipe 21. The second connecting pipe 24 is a flexible hose. A fan 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second connecting pipe 24. The fan 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the material box 4. A discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the surface of the fan 25. Suction heads 23 are fixedly connected to the surface of the first connecting pipe 21.

[0027] Furthermore, the number of suction heads 23 is five, and the five suction heads 23 are tapered and evenly distributed. Through the suction heads 23, the purpose of collecting debris can be achieved.

[0028] Furthermore, a worm gear 27 is fixedly connected to the right side of the surface of the first connecting pipe 21, a worm 28 is meshed on the surface of the worm gear 27, and a rotating component is fixedly connected to the front side of the worm 28. The rotating component is located on the front side of the material box 4. With the cooperation of the worm 28 and the worm gear 27, the first connecting pipe 21 can be rotated.

[0029] Furthermore, a fixing bracket 29 is rotatably connected to the surface of the worm gear 28, and the fixing bracket 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the material box 4. The fixing bracket 29 can support the worm gear 28 and ensure that the worm gear 28 will not tilt during rotation.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] See Figure 4 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the solid-liquid separation mechanism 3 includes a filter screen 36, which is disposed in the material box 4. The filter screen 36 has uniformly sized filter holes and is rectangular in shape. Under the filtering action of the filter screen 36, the coolant mixed in the debris falls to the bottom of the material box 4, thus achieving the purpose of solid-liquid separation.

[0032] Furthermore, both sides of the top of the filter screen 36 are provided with extrusion plates 31. A connecting plate 35 is fixedly connected to the surface of the extrusion plate 31. A placement plate 37 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 35. A first cylinder 34 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the placement plate 37. The first cylinder 34 is fixedly connected to the surface of the material box 4. The first cylinders 34 on both sides can drive the extrusion plates 31 on both sides to move towards each other. At this time, the debris can be extruded and shaped, which facilitates the recycling of debris.

[0033] Furthermore, a second discharge pipe 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material tank 4, and a valve 33 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second discharge pipe 32. The valve 33 is located at the bottom of the material tank 4. When it is necessary to discharge the coolant, the coolant can be collected by rotating the valve 33.

[0034] In actual operation, when this device is used, firstly, the second cylinder 5 is driven according to the height of the machine tool. The second cylinder 5 can drive the material box 4 and the suction head 23 to move up and down, thereby collecting debris from machine tools at different heights. Then, according to the position of the debris, the rotating component is rotated, which can drive the worm 28 and the worm wheel 27 to rotate synchronously, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the angle of the suction head 23, which can collect debris in dead corners and strengthen the debris collection. Next, by starting the fan 25, the debris can be discharged from the suction head 23 through the second connecting pipe 24 and the first connecting pipe 21 and discharged from the first discharge pipe 26. At this time, the debris is on the surface of the filter screen 36. Under the filtering effect of the filter screen 36, the coolant mixed in the debris falls to the bottom of the material box 4, which can achieve the purpose of solid-liquid separation. When it is necessary to discharge the coolant, the valve 33 can be turned to achieve the purpose of collecting the coolant.

[0035] When it is necessary to extrude and mold the debris, the first cylinders 34 on both sides are driven simultaneously. The first cylinders 34 on both sides can drive the extrusion plates 31 on both sides to move towards each other. At this time, the debris can be extruded and molded, which facilitates the recycling of debris.
