[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of CNC machine tool technology, and in particular relates to a chip collection box for CNC machine tools. Background Technology

[0002] CNC machine tools are short for numerical control machine tools. They are automated machine tools equipped with a program control system. This control system can logically process programs with control codes or other symbolic instructions, decode them, represent them with coded numbers, and input them into the CNC device through an information carrier. The chip collector is a component of the CNC machine tool to collect the chips generated during the machining of parts.

[0003] Most existing chip collection boxes are directly fixed to CNC machine tools, and their overall size is fixed. They cannot be freely expanded according to the amount of chips, which requires users to clean the chips in the chip collection box frequently, which is very troublesome and greatly increases the labor intensity of users. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a chip collection box for CNC machine tools, which solves the problem that the overall placement space of the box cannot be freely expanded according to the amount of chips, resulting in the need for users to frequently clean the chips in the chip collection box.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a chip collection box for CNC machine tools includes a box body and a first extension cylinder slidably disposed within the box body. A second extension cylinder is slidably disposed within the first extension cylinder. A fixing ring disposed on the CNC machine tool is fixed to the top of the surface of the second extension cylinder. Multiple sets of discharge pipes are evenly connected to the bottom of the box body. Each set of discharge pipes is equipped with a valve. An auxiliary extension component is provided on the box body for use in conjunction with the first and second extension cylinders.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the auxiliary extension assembly includes multiple sets of support vertical plates uniformly rotatably mounted on the top of the box surface. Each set of support vertical plates has two sets of T-shaped locking pins inserted sequentially in the vertical direction. One end of each set of T-shaped locking pins is inserted into the surface of the first extension cylinder and the second extension cylinder, respectively. A first spring is wound around each set of T-shaped locking pins. The two ends of the first spring are fixed to the protruding end of the T-shaped locking pin and the support vertical plate. Multiple sets of base plates are uniformly fixed to the bottom of the fixing ring. A T-shaped positioning pin is inserted into each set of base plates. The top and bottom of each set of support vertical plates are provided with auxiliary square grooves for inserting the T-shaped positioning pins. A second spring is wound around each set of T-shaped positioning pins. The two ends of the second spring are fixed to the protruding end of the T-shaped positioning pin and the base plate.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, multiple sets of positioning slides are provided on the surfaces of the first extension cylinder and the second extension cylinder, and positioning slides that can slide within the positioning slides are fixed on the inner walls of the first extension cylinder and the box body.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the number of vertical support plates on the surface of the box is at least three sets.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a gap is reserved between the supporting vertical plate and the fixing ring.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a connecting push plate is fixed to the outer side of the upper and lower sets of T-shaped locking posts that are close to each other, and the overall length of the upper T-shaped locking post is greater than the overall length of the lower T-shaped locking post.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, multiple sets of bottom supports are uniformly fixed to the bottom of the box surface.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention expands the overall placement space of the housing by setting up an auxiliary extension component and utilizing a first extension cylinder and a second extension cylinder. The design of the supporting vertical plate, T-shaped locking post, first spring, T-shaped positioning post, second spring, and auxiliary square groove forms a locking and positioning structure for the housing, the first extension cylinder, and the second extension cylinder. This allows the movable housing, the first extension cylinder, and the second extension cylinder to be quickly assembled into a whole structure when the first extension cylinder and the second extension cylinder are pulled out of the housing, thereby expanding the overall placement space of the housing. This makes it easier for users to place more debris according to the processing needs of CNC machine tools, avoiding the need for frequent debris cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To further understand the utility model content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a chip collection box for CNC machine tools, including a box body 1, and further including: a first extension cylinder 2 slidably disposed in the box body 1, a second extension cylinder 3 slidably disposed in the first extension cylinder 2, a fixing ring 4 fixed on the top surface of the second extension cylinder 3 and disposed on the CNC machine tool, and multiple sets of discharge pipes 6 evenly connected to the bottom of the box body 1, each set of discharge pipes 6 being provided with a valve, and an auxiliary extension assembly for use with the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3 being provided on the box body 1. By providing the auxiliary extension assembly, the movable box body 1, the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3 can be quickly assembled into an integral structure to expand the overall placement space of the box body 1, making it convenient for users to place more chips according to the processing needs of the CNC machine tool, and avoiding the need for users to frequently clean the chips.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the auxiliary extension assembly includes multiple sets of supporting vertical plates 7 uniformly rotatably mounted on the top surface of the housing 1. Each set of supporting vertical plates 7 has two sets of T-shaped locking pins 8 inserted sequentially along the vertical direction. One end of each set of T-shaped locking pins 8 is inserted into the surface of the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3, respectively. A first spring 9 is wound around each set of T-shaped locking pins 8, with both ends of the first spring 9 fixed to the protruding end of the T-shaped locking pin 8 and the supporting vertical plate 7. Multiple sets of base plates 12 are uniformly fixed to the bottom of the fixing ring 4. Each set of base plates 12 has T-shaped positioning pins 13 inserted into it. Each set of supporting vertical plates 7... The top and bottom are provided with auxiliary square grooves 15 for inserting T-shaped positioning posts 13. Each set of T-shaped positioning posts 13 is wound with a second spring 14. The two ends of the second spring 14 are fixed to the protruding end of the T-shaped positioning post 13 and the bottom plate 12. The design of supporting the vertical plate 7, T-shaped locking post 8, first spring 9, T-shaped positioning post 13, second spring 14 and auxiliary square groove 15 can form a locking and positioning structure for the box 1, the first extension tube 2 and the second extension tube 3, so as to combine the box 1, the first extension tube 2 and the second extension tube 3 into an integral structure to expand the overall placement space of the box 1.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, multiple sets of positioning slides 10 are provided on the surface of the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3. The inner walls of the first extension cylinder 2 and the box body 1 are fixed with positioning slides 11 that can slide within the positioning slides 10. The design of the positioning slides 10 and the positioning slides 11 can limit the sliding of the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3, and can effectively prevent the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3 from separating from each other when moving.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the number of vertical support plates 7 on the surface of the box body 1 is at least three sets. Limiting the number of vertical support plates 7 is to improve the stability when positioning the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a gap is reserved between the supporting vertical plate 7 and the fixing ring 4. The design of the gap can effectively ensure that the supporting vertical plate 7 rotates smoothly and will not collide with the fixing ring 4.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a connecting push plate is fixed on the outer side of the upper and lower sets of T-shaped locking pins 8 that are close to each other. The overall length of the upper T-shaped locking pin 8 is greater than that of the lower T-shaped locking pin 8. The design of the connecting push plate makes it convenient for the user to pull the two adjacent sets of T-shaped locking pins 8 synchronously, so as to improve the user's overall positioning speed of the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3. At the same time, the different lengths allow for synchronous insertion and positioning of the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3 at different positions.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, multiple sets of bottom supports 5 are evenly fixed to the bottom of the surface of the box 1. The bottom supports 5 are designed to support the bottom of the box 1 when it needs to be placed on the ground, so that the box 1 can be directly fixed on a CNC machine tool or placed directly on the ground to collect debris, thereby improving the overall functionality of the device.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model:

[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 4In the initial state, the bottom of the fixing ring 4 contacts the top of the housing 1, and the T-shaped positioning post 13 is inserted into the auxiliary square groove 15 near the top of the housing 1 to position the supporting vertical plate 7. The first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3 retract synchronously into the housing 1. If the placement space of the chip collection box needs to be adjusted, the user needs to pull the T-shaped positioning post 13 until it disengages from the corresponding auxiliary square groove 15, releasing the locking state of the supporting vertical plate 7. Since the housing 1 is directly fixed to the CNC machine tool frame via the fixing ring 4, the housing 1 will move downwards under gravity, and the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3 will be pulled out synchronously. At this time, the user flips the supporting vertical plate 7 and simultaneously pulls the T-shaped positioning post 13 and the T-shaped locking post 8, thereby locking the second spring 14 and the first... Spring 9 is stretched synchronously until the support vertical plate 7 is flipped to a vertical position. At this time, the elastic rebound of the second spring 14 and the first spring 9 can drive the T-shaped positioning column 13 and the T-shaped locking column 8 to reset. At this time, the T-shaped positioning column 13 will be inserted into another set of auxiliary square slots 15 on the support vertical plate 7, and the T-shaped locking column 8 will be inserted into the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3. Thus, the support vertical plate 7, the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3 can be positioned synchronously, so that the box 1, the first extension cylinder 2 and the second extension cylinder 3 can quickly form an integral structure, which expands the overall placement space of the chip collection box and makes it convenient for users to place more chips according to the processing needs of CNC machine tools. In addition, the bottom bracket 5 can support the bottom of the box 1, making it convenient to place the box 1 directly on the ground for use.
