Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for hardware product processing, and in particular to a debris cleaning device for hardware product processing. Background Technology

[0002] Machining is a process that alters the shape, size, or properties of a workpiece using various mechanical equipment. During this process, debris is often generated. If this debris accumulates and is not cleaned in time, it will affect the normal operation of the mechanical equipment. Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the machining process, a special debris cleaning device is required.

[0003] For example, the utility model disclosed in authorization announcement number CN213411301U discloses a debris cleaning device for hardware product processing, which "includes a housing, with a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft fixedly installed on the side walls of the housing respectively. A first gear is fixedly sleeved on one end of the first rotating shaft, and a driven pulley is fixedly sleeved on the other end of the first rotating shaft. A second gear is fixedly sleeved on one end of the second rotating shaft. The first gear and the second gear mesh. A first rolling cylinder is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the first rotating shaft, and a second rolling cylinder is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second rotating shaft. A power device is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing. Through the design of the first rolling cylinder and the second rolling cylinder, the spiral metal debris generated by machining enters the guide plate in the housing through the connecting bridge, and then flows between the first rolling cylinder and the second rolling cylinder. The rotation of the first rolling cylinder and the second rolling cylinder flattens the metal debris to reduce the space occupied."

[0004] When the above-mentioned device is in use, the inclined guide plate allows the waste chips to slide between the two sets of rolling cylinders, so as to flatten the metal chips and reduce the space occupied. However, when the friction coefficient of the metal chips is high or the adhesion is strong, the metal chips will be stuck or accumulated on the guide plate. The stuck metal chips will hinder the sliding of newly generated metal chips, thus forming a blockage, making the equipment unable to operate normally, and thus reducing the cleaning efficiency. To this end, we propose a chip cleaning device for hardware product processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a debris cleaning device for hardware product processing, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A debris cleaning device for hardware product processing includes a processing box. Two sets of springs are fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the processing box. A rack is fixedly installed at the front end of each set of springs. A movable rod is fixedly installed at the front end of each rack. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the processing box. A first gear is fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the rotating shaft. Two sets of rollers are rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the processing box. A limiting groove is formed in the inner side wall of the processing box. A guide plate is movably connected to the inner wall of the processing box. The rear end of the guide plate is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the processing box, and the front end of the guide plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting bucket is fixedly installed at the front end of the processing box, a sliding plate is fixedly installed at the rear end of the processing box, and a collection box is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rear end of the processing box.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rack, and the limiting plate is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the processing box.

[0010] Preferably, a first support plate is fixedly installed on the front of the processing box, a first motor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first support plate, and the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating shaft.

[0011] Preferably, a second gear is fixedly installed at the front end of each of the two sets of rollers, and the two sets of second gears mesh with each other.

[0012] Preferably, a second support plate is fixedly installed on the front of the processing box, a second motor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the second support plate, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to one side of one set of second gears.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In this invention, a first motor drives the first gear and rack to mesh intermittently, and with the help of a spring, controls the up-and-down movement of the movable rod. When the movable rod rises, it impacts and changes the inclination of the guide plate, promoting the sliding of metal debris on the guide plate. At the same time, the guide plate vibrates due to the impact of the movable rod, further assisting the metal debris to slide down. This prevents metal debris from being stuck or accumulating on the guide plate due to its high coefficient of friction or high adhesion, thus preventing blockage and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment, effectively improving cleaning efficiency.

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, a debris cleaning device for hardware processing includes a processing box 1. Two sets of springs 15 are fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the processing box 1. A rack 10 is fixedly installed at the front end of each set of springs 15. A movable rod 16 is fixedly installed at the front end of the rack 10. A rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the processing box 1. A first gear 8 is fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the rotating shaft 14. The first gear 8 is a half gear. When the first gear 8 meshes with the rack 10, the first gear 8 will drive the rack 10 to slide downward and squeeze the springs. Spring 15, when the teeth on the first gear 8 completely disengage from the teeth on the rack 10, spring 15 will drive the rack 10 to rebound upwards, thereby driving the movable rod 16 to move upwards. Two sets of rollers 7 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing box 1. The two sets of rollers 7 rotate in opposite directions, so that the metal scraps sliding between the two sets of rollers 7 can be crushed into flakes. A limit groove 9 is opened on the inner wall of the processing box 1. A guide plate 12 is movably connected to the inner wall of the processing box 1, and the tail end of the guide plate 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing box 1. The front end of guide plate 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 9. By setting the limiting groove 9, the front end of guide plate 12 can only move within the limiting groove 9, thereby limiting the maximum tilt of guide plate 12. When guide plate 12 is in the initial tilt state, the first gear 8 and rack 10 mesh with each other, spring 15 is in a compressed state, and rack 10 and movable rod 16 are both away from guide plate 12. By controlling the rotation of the first gear 8, rack 10 moves downward and further compresses spring 15. When the first gear 8 rotates to mesh with rack 10, the front end of guide plate 12 can only move within the limiting groove 9, thereby limiting the maximum tilt of guide plate 12. When there is no engagement, the spring 15 will drive the rack 10 and the movable rod 16 to rebound upwards. When the front end of the movable rod 16 contacts the guide plate 12, the movable rod 16 will continue to move upwards, thereby pushing the front end of the guide plate 12 upwards, making the inclination of the guide plate 12 larger, so that the metal debris on the guide plate 12 will slide off quickly, avoiding the metal debris from being stuck or accumulating and affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Furthermore, under the impact of the movable rod 16, the guide plate 12 will vibrate, thereby assisting the metal debris to slide off and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0023] A connecting hopper 2 is fixedly installed at the front end of the processing box 1, and a sliding plate 6 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the processing box 1. A collection box 3 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rear end of the processing box 1. Metal scraps are fed to the guide plate 12 through the connecting hopper 2. After the roller 7 crushes the metal scraps into pieces, they slide into the collection box 3 through the sliding plate 6. A limiting plate 11 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rack 10, and the limiting plate 11 is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the processing box 1. By setting the limiting plate 11, when the rack 10 moves, it will drive the limiting plate 11 to slide along the inner wall of the processing box 1, thereby improving the stability of the rack 10's movement. A first support plate 4 is fixedly installed on the front of the processing box 1. A first motor 17 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first support plate 4, and the output end of the first motor 17 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating shaft 14. After being powered on, the output end of the 17 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate, thereby causing the two sets of first gears 8 to rotate synchronously. The front ends of the two sets of rollers 7 are fixedly installed with second gears 13, and the two sets of second gears 13 mesh with each other. The front of the processing box 1 is fixedly installed with a second support plate 5, and the inner wall of the second support plate 5 is fixedly installed with a second motor 18. The output end of the second motor 18 is fixedly connected to one side of one set of second gears 13. After the second motor 18 is powered on, its output end will drive one set of second gears 13 to rotate, thereby driving one set of rollers 7 to rotate. The two sets of second gears 13 mesh with each other, causing the other set of second gears 13 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the other set of rollers 7 to rotate, thus achieving the purpose of controlling the two sets of rollers 7 to rotate in opposite directions, so as to crush the metal scraps.

[0024] It should be noted that this utility model is a debris cleaning device for hardware product processing. In use, the connecting bucket 2 is connected to the debris outlet of the machining equipment. Metal debris enters the processing box 1 through the connecting bucket 2 and slides between the two sets of rollers 7 via the guide plate 12. When the second motor 18 is energized, the metal debris is crushed. The crushed metal fragments slide through the slide plate 6 into the collection box 3 for easy collection. When the first motor 17 is energized, the first gear 8 drives the rack 10 and the movable rod 16 to move downwards to store force. When the first gear 8 rotates until it is completely disengaged from the rack 10, the spring 15 drives the rack 10 and the movable rod 16 downwards. The movable rod 16 springs upward, lifting the front end of the guide plate 12 upward. The tilt angle of the guide plate 12 increases, thus accelerating its downward movement. The impact from the movable rod 16 causes the guide plate 12 to vibrate, which in turn assists the metal debris to slide down, preventing the metal debris from remaining on the guide plate 12 and improving cleaning efficiency. The first gear 8 continues to rotate. When the first gear 8 meshes with the rack 10 again, it will drive the rack 10 and the movable rod 16 to move downward again to store force, and the guide plate 12 will return to its initial tilt angle, thus completing one cycle. This allows the guide plate 12 to intermittently tilt and vibrate at large amplitudes, preventing equipment blockage.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
