Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chip removal technology for machining centers, and specifically to a chip removal unit for a gantry machining center. Background Technology

[0002] A gantry machining center is a machining center whose spindle Z-axis is perpendicular to the worktable. Its overall structure is a large machining center with a portal frame consisting of two columns and a top beam, with a crossbeam in the middle of the two columns. Based on its structural characteristics, gantry machining centers can be divided into various types, such as fixed-beam type (crossbeam fixed, worktable moving / rotating), moving-beam type (crossbeam moving up and down, worktable moving back and forth), moving-column type (worktable fixed, gantry moving), overhead crane type (worktable fixed, crossbeam moving), and various combinations of the above.

[0003] The chip removal system is a crucial component of a gantry machining center, primarily responsible for collecting and conveying various chips generated during machining to ensure smooth processing. The gantry machining center chip removal system mainly consists of a housing, reducer, drive chain, transmission chain, and hinged chain plates. These components work together to achieve efficient chip collection and conveying. The working principle of the gantry machining center chip removal system is to classify and remove waste and debris generated during machining through mechanical transmission and vibration separation. During machining, waste and debris are conveyed to the chip removal system via the transmission device, and then processed by physical separation and vibration devices to classify and convey the waste and debris to designated waste collection bins. To ensure the normal operation and extend the service life of the gantry machining center chip removal system, regular maintenance and upkeep are required. This includes cleaning chips and debris inside the system, inspecting and replacing worn parts, and adjusting the system's transmission and vibration devices. Simultaneously, regular performance testing and fault diagnosis of the system are also necessary to promptly identify and resolve problems.

[0004] There are gaps between the protective door and the chain plate in the existing gantry machining center, where chips easily accumulate. Under the action of cutting fluid, the chips easily form hard lumps, which are difficult to clean manually and are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model proposes a chip removal unit for gantry machining centers, which solves the problem of cutting fluid and chips accumulating in the gap between the protective door and the chain plate of the gantry machining center, which is difficult, time-consuming and labor-intensive to clean manually.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a chip removal unit for a gantry machining center, comprising a base, a chip removal guide plate, a connecting plate, a water pipe, and a nozzle. The base is elongated, with the upper and lower parts bent, and the cross-section is U-shaped. The chip removal guide plate is bent on all four sides and fixedly connected to the base. The included angle between the chip removal guide plate and the base is an obtuse angle. Connecting plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the base. The connecting plates have water pipe through holes and screw holes. A water pipe is located inside the bent edge of the upper part of the base. A nozzle is connected to each water pipe. Both ends of the water pipe pass through the water pipe through holes of the connecting plate. One end of the water pipe has a quick-connect coupling.

[0007] Preferably, the base has several threaded holes at the top and lower back.

[0008] Preferably, the included angle between the chip removal guide plate and the base is 110°.

[0009] Preferably, the base, chip guide plate, and connecting plate are made of stainless steel sheet.

[0010] Preferably, the water pipe is a thin-walled stainless steel pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the base and chip guide plate are 2500mm in length.

[0012] The principle of this utility model: This utility model addresses the problem of cutting fluid and chips accumulating in the gap between the protective door and the chain plate of a gantry machining center, which is difficult, time-consuming, and labor-intensive to clean manually. The following technical solution achieves this goal: This utility model consists of a base, a chip removal guide plate, a connecting plate, water pipes, and nozzles. The base, chip removal guide plate, and connecting plate are made of stainless steel plates, which are cut, bent, welded, and ground into shape. Water pipes are inserted into both ends of the connecting plate, and nozzles are connected to the water pipes. Quick-connect fittings for the water pipes are connected to a water pump or to the water pipes themselves. After assembly, the base connects to the protective door of the gantry machining center through threaded holes on the top and lower back. The chip guide plate is connected at the bottom or other locations to fill the gap between the protective door and the chain plate. The lower edge of the chip guide plate falls onto the chain plate of the machining center. When splashed chips and cutting fluid fall onto the chip guide plate, they will be washed away by the cutting fluid or water sprayed from the nozzle and fall onto the chain plate of the machining center. There is no longer a gap between the protective door and the chain plate, and chips will no longer accumulate. No manual cleaning is required, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the machining center and improving the utilization rate of the machining center. This utility model is flexible and convenient to use. A chip removal unit of a certain length can be selected as a reference and connected to each other until the gap between the protective door and the chain plate is completely filled, avoiding manual cleaning and saving time and effort.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A chip removal unit for a gantry machining center has a scientific and reasonable structural design, low manufacturing cost, flexible and convenient use, and quick installation. It can fill the gap between the protective door and the chain plate, prevent the accumulation of chips and cutting fluid, eliminate the need for manual cleaning, save labor costs, ensure the long-term stable operation of the machining center, and improve processing efficiency.

[0020] The specific implementation method of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, a chip removal unit for a gantry machining center includes a base 101, a chip removal guide plate 102, a connecting plate 103, a water pipe 104, and a nozzle 105. The base 101 is elongated, with the upper and lower parts bent, and the cross-section is U-shaped. The chip removal guide plate 102 is bent on all four sides and fixedly connected to the base 101. The included angle between the chip removal guide plate 102 and the base 101 is an obtuse angle. The connecting plates 103 are fixedly connected to both ends of the base 101. The connecting plates 103 have water pipe through holes and screw holes. A water pipe 104 is located inside the upper bent edge of the base 101. Each water pipe 104 is connected to a nozzle 105. Both ends of the water pipe 104 pass through the water pipe through holes of the connecting plate 103, and one end of the water pipe 104 has a quick-connect connector. In this embodiment, the upper and lower parts of the base 101 are flanged to ensure that the base 101 maintains a certain flatness and rigidity over a certain length. This processing method can appropriately reduce the wall thickness of the processing material and reduce processing costs. The upper and lower parts of the chip removal guide plate 102 are flanged, with a "Z"-shaped cross-section and inward flanges at both ends, so that chips and cutting fluid flow along the slope of the chip removal guide plate 102. Similarly, this processing method ensures that the chip removal guide plate 102 maintains a certain flatness and rigidity over a certain length. The base 101 and the chip removal guide plate 102 are connected by welding. Several welding process holes are reserved on the upper flange of the chip removal guide plate 102 to ensure the firmness of the weld between the two. In addition, the two can also be connected by screws or other methods, not limited to welding. Connecting pieces 103 are welded to both ends of the base 101. The connecting pieces 103 have screw holes and water pipe through holes. The screw holes facilitate the connection of the chip removal units to each other, and the water pipes 104 are installed through the water pipe through holes to improve assembly efficiency.

[0021] Specifically, the base 101 has several threaded holes at its top and lower back. In this embodiment, the chip removal unit can be connected to the protective door or other components by screws through the threaded holes at the top and back of the base 101, reducing installation difficulty and improving the adaptability of the chip removal unit.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the included angle between the chip guide plate 102 and the base 101 is 110°. In this embodiment, the chip guide plate 102 is in a sloping state. Under the action of gravity, the chips and cutting fluid will flow along the chip guide plate 102, avoiding the accumulation of chips and cutting fluid.

[0023] Specifically, the base 101, chip guide plate 102, and connecting piece 103 are made of stainless steel. In this embodiment, the base 101, chip guide plate 102, and connecting piece 103 made of stainless steel are not easily corroded and have a long service life.

[0024] Specifically, the water pipe 104 is a thin-walled stainless steel pipe. In this embodiment, the thin-walled stainless steel pipe is not easily corroded during use, ensuring stable liquid delivery within the water pipe 104 and timely flushing of chips and cutting fluid from the chip removal guide plate 102.

[0025] Specifically, the base 101 and the chip removal guide plate 102 are 2500mm in length. In this embodiment, the 2500mm chip removal unit is easy to manufacture and adaptable to various types of gantry machining centers, thus having a wide range of applications.
