Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive bushing processing technology, specifically a collection device for automotive bushing processing. Background Technology
[0002] During machining processes such as turning, milling, and drilling, the cutting tool removes excess metal from the raw material of the bushing, generating a large amount of chips. These chips can be recycled and reused, and then processed into new metal materials through processes such as smelting.
[0003] Furthermore, in order to reduce cutting temperature, reduce tool wear, and improve the surface quality during processing, cutting fluid is usually used. Used cutting fluid can be collected, filtered, purified, and reused, thereby reducing production costs and environmental pollution. At the same time, even if cutting fluid is used during cutting, it can suppress dust to a certain extent, but it cannot completely prevent the generation of metal dust during grinding. This microscopic cutting action will inevitably produce fine metal particles, causing the spillage of metal dust and thus causing pollution. Based on this, this application provides a collection device for the processing of automotive bushings. Utility Model Content

That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, these physical details are not essential. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the illustrations.
[0028] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-4 During machining processes such as turning, milling, and drilling, the cutting tool removes excess metal from the bushing raw material, generating a large amount of chips. These chips can be recycled and reused, and then remade into metal materials through processes such as smelting. At the same time, even if cutting fluid is used during cutting, it can suppress dust to a certain extent, but it cannot completely prevent the generation of metal dust during grinding. This microscopic cutting action will inevitably generate fine metal particles, causing the spillage of metal dust and thus causing pollution. Based on this, this application provides a collection device for automotive bushing machining, including a collection component 1 for collecting target objects and a filter component 3 disposed inside the collection component 1.
[0030] The collection component 1 includes a housing 11, the inner side of which is adapted to the filter component 3. A second liquid outlet 14 is provided at the bottom of the housing 11, and a guide port 13 is provided at the other end of the second liquid outlet 14. The guide port 13 and the second liquid outlet 14 are not connected.
[0031] A liquid outlet 12 is provided on one side of the outer casing 11. One end of the liquid outlet extends through a pipe to the inside of the outer casing 11 and is connected to the filter assembly 3. The other end is connected to the guide port 13.
[0032] The top of the outer casing 11 has a through hole, and an air intake 4 is provided at the through hole to adsorb floating dust.
[0033] The filter assembly 3 is located inside the housing 11 and can consist of multiple layers of filter screens of different specifications. For example, the outermost layer is a coarse filter screen with larger mesh openings, mainly used to intercept larger impurities such as chips. The middle layer is a medium filter screen, used to further filter smaller metal particles. The innermost layer is a fine filter screen, which can filter out tiny metal dust and other impurities to ensure that the cutting fluid flowing out of the filter assembly 3 achieves a high level of cleanliness.
[0034] Both the second outlet 14 at the bottom of the outer casing 11 and the first outlet 12 on one side are connected using corrosion-resistant plastic pipes. The second outlet 14 is mainly used to discharge the cutting fluid after preliminary sedimentation, and a valve can be installed on the pipe connected to it for easy control of the discharge.
[0035] The guide port 13 is not connected to the outlet 14. One end of the outlet 12 extends through a pipe to the inside of the housing 11 and is connected to the filter assembly 3 to introduce the filtered cutting fluid. The other end is connected to the guide port 13 and finally delivers the treated cutting fluid to a place where it needs to be reused, such as a cutting fluid storage tank.
[0036] An air intake 4 is installed at the through-hole on the top of the outer casing 11, connected to a small vacuum fan. When the automotive bushing is being processed, the vacuum fan starts, generating a strong suction through the air intake 4 to adsorb the metal dust floating in the air during processing and collect it inside the collection device. A removable filter can be installed at the air intake 4 to prevent larger debris from being sucked in and affecting the vacuuming effect.
[0037] The cutting fluid is filtered by filter assembly 3, which effectively separates chips and impurities, allowing the cutting fluid to be recycled and significantly reducing production costs. Simultaneously, the collected chips can be further recycled and reused, processed into new metal materials through smelting and other processes, thus improving resource utilization.
[0038] The air intake 4 can adsorb floating metal dust, preventing metal dust from spreading in the workshop. It can not only recycle the collected metal dust, but also reduce the waste of resources.
[0039] Recycling the cutting fluid reduces the discharge of waste cutting fluid and lowers environmental pollution. Simultaneously, it effectively collects metal dust, preventing it from dispersing into the air, improving air quality in the workshop, and protecting the surrounding environment. Furthermore, the filtered and purified cutting fluid, when reused, can better fulfill its functions of reducing cutting temperature, minimizing tool wear, and improving the surface finish, thereby enhancing the machining quality of automotive bushings.
[0040] The filter assembly 3 includes a feed pipe 31 and a connector 32. The connector 32 is connected to the air intake 4, and one end of the feed pipe 31 is located below the air intake 4.
[0041] The bottom of the connector 32 is provided with an air guide pipe 33, which extends to the inside of the housing 11. The outside of the air guide pipe 33 is provided with a ring array of spray nozzles 34, which are used to cooperate with the air intake 4 for dust filtration.
[0042] The inner side of the outer casing 11 is provided with one or more uniformly spaced isolation layers 15, with each pair of isolation layers 15 being staggered for use in filtering target objects.
[0043] The connector 32 is made of metal to ensure its structural strength. It is tightly connected to the air intake 4 to ensure that the airflow can smoothly enter the air duct 33 from the air intake 4. The air duct 33 is made of stainless steel and extends to the inside of the outer casing 11. On the outside of the air duct 33, there are evenly distributed nozzles 34 in a ring array. When dust-laden air passes through the air duct 33, it will be ejected at high speed from these nozzles 34, forming a fountain-like dispersion effect, which helps with subsequent dust filtration.
[0044] The inner side of the outer casing 11 is provided with three evenly spaced isolation layers 15. These isolation layers 15 are made of special filter materials, such as glass fiber filter media, and have good filtration performance. Each pair of isolation layers 15 is staggered, like steps on a staircase, with a gap in one layer corresponding to a solid part of another. This staggered arrangement forces dust-laden air to constantly change its flow direction as it passes through the isolation layers 15, increasing the contact opportunity between dust and the isolation layers 15 and improving the filtration effect.
[0045] The annular array of nozzles 34 on the outer side of the air duct 33 disperses the dust-laden air, making the dust more evenly distributed inside the outer casing 11. This increases the contact area and probability between the dust and the isolation layer 15, thereby improving filtration efficiency. After the originally concentrated dust-laden airflow is dispersed, more dust can be captured by the isolation layer 15, reducing the residue of metal dust in the workshop.
[0046] The staggered arrangement of the isolation layer 15 causes the dust-laden air to constantly change direction during its flow, increasing the residence time of dust in the filtration area. Dust is more easily intercepted by the isolation layer 15 during collisions and changes in direction, further improving the filtration effect on metal dust and ensuring that the discharged air is relatively clean.
[0047] By efficiently filtering metal dust, large amounts of dust are prevented from entering the processing equipment, reducing wear on key components, extending equipment lifespan, and lowering maintenance costs. Effective dust filtration significantly improves air quality in the workshop, providing operators with a healthier working environment. It also reduces the risk of operators inhaling metal dust, lowering the probability of occupational diseases and meeting the company's safety production requirements.
[0048] The filter assembly 3 can collect the metal dust generated during processing, facilitating subsequent recycling. This collected metal dust can be reprocessed into metal materials through processes such as smelting, improving resource recycling rates and reducing production costs. For example, the collected dust from processing copper bushings can be remelted into copper and reused in bushing production.
[0049] The top of the housing 11 is provided with one or more spacers 16 arranged in a ring array at the through hole, and a positioning groove 18 is formed between every two spacers 16. The positioning groove 18 is adapted to the bottom of the connector 32.
[0050] The outer side of the air duct 33 maintains a fixed distance from the innermost isolation layer 15, forming a bubble flushing area 17 at this fixed distance for agitating the liquid.
[0051] A filter plate 2 is installed at the bottom of the isolation layer 15, which is located at the top of the liquid outlet 14, for filtering the liquid.
[0052] The filter plate 2 includes an outer ring 21, and the inner side of the outer ring 21 is provided with protrusions 23 arranged in a ring array, and filler 22 is installed at the protrusions 23.
[0053] At the top through-hole of the housing 11 of the collecting device, spacers 16 arranged in a circular array are installed. The positioning grooves 18 formed between every two spacers 16 are precisely sized to fit perfectly with the bottom of the connector 32. When installing the connector 32, the operator can easily align the bottom of the connector 32 with the positioning groove 18 and then smoothly insert it. The positioning groove 18 ensures that the connector 32 is accurately installed in the predetermined position, preventing the connector 32 from shaking or shifting during use.
[0054] A fixed distance is maintained between the outer side of the air guide pipe 33 and the innermost isolation layer 15, forming a bubble flushing zone 17. Within this zone, when the air guide pipe 33 ejects dust-laden air, the air enters the liquid and forms a large number of bubbles, allowing the bubbles to be generated evenly throughout the entire bubble flushing zone 17, thus effectively flushing the isolation layer 15.
[0055] The filter plate 2, located at the bottom of the isolation layer 15 and above the liquid outlet 14, plays a crucial filtration role. The outer ring 21 of the filter plate 2 is made of stainless steel, providing excellent corrosion resistance and structural strength. The protrusions 23 arranged in a ring array on the inner side of the outer ring 21 are made of plastic, while the filler 22 can be a combination of activated carbon particles and fiber cotton. Activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity, capable of adsorbing tiny impurities and odors in the liquid, while the fiber cotton can further intercept fine particles.
[0056] The positioning groove 18 on the top of the housing 11 makes the installation of the connector 32 simpler and more accurate. Operators do not need to spend a lot of time adjusting and aligning, improving installation efficiency. At the same time, the positioning groove 18 ensures that the connector 32 is firmly fixed to the housing 11, preventing the connector 32 from shaking and affecting the normal operation of the entire collection device, thus enhancing the stability of the equipment.
[0057] The bubble flushing zone 17 allows the liquid to be effectively agitated. As the bubbles rise, they flush the isolation layer 15, which not only prevents excessive dust accumulation on the isolation layer 15 and maintains the air permeability and filtration performance of the isolation layer 15, but also washes off some of the dust attached to the isolation layer 15, further improving the filtration efficiency.
[0058] Filter plate 2 provides deep filtration: The filler 22 in filter plate 2 enables deep filtration of the liquid. Activated carbon adsorbs minute impurities and odors, while fiber cotton intercepts fine particles, resulting in cleaner liquid discharged from outlet 14. This helps improve the quality of cutting fluid recycling and reduces adverse effects on machining equipment and bushings.
[0059] The combined effect of bubble rinsing and filter plate 2 effectively reduces the accumulation of impurities inside the collection device. This reduction in impurities decreases wear and corrosion on various equipment components, extends the equipment's lifespan, and lowers maintenance costs and replacement frequency.
[0060] By recycling cleaner cutting fluid, the damage caused by impurities in the cutting fluid to the machining equipment can be reduced, ensuring the normal operation and machining accuracy of the machining equipment, and improving the machining quality of automotive bushings.
[0061] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
