Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lathe guideway cleaning technology, specifically a self-cleaning chip collector for lathe guideways. Background Technology
[0002] A lathe is a machine tool primarily used to machine rotating workpieces using a cutting tool. It is the most important type of metal cutting machine tool, and is the most numerous and prevalent type in general machine manufacturing plants; it is also known as the "mother machine." Drills, reamers, taps, dies, and knurling tools can also be used on lathes for various machining operations. The function of a lathe is to cut rotating surfaces of various sizes and shapes, as well as helical surfaces.
[0003] Lathes generate a large amount of chips during machining. If these chips are not cleaned in time, they may affect the accuracy and lifespan of the guide rails, or even cause equipment failure. Traditional guide rail cleaning involves periodic cleaning with brushes or scrapers, which is inefficient and requires machine downtime. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a self-cleaning chip collector for lathe guide rails. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-cleaning chip collector for lathe guideways to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-cleaning chip collector for lathe guide rails, including a guide rail, on which a slide block is slidably disposed;
[0006] A hair dryer is installed at the bottom of the guide rail. The output end of the hair dryer is fixedly connected to a blower pipe. The end of the blower pipe away from the hair dryer is fixedly connected to a diverter pipe. Cleaning shells are installed at both ends of the slide block. A groove is opened at one end of each cleaning shell. A cavity is opened inside each cleaning shell. Multiple air outlets are opened on the inner wall of each groove.
[0007] Preferably, each of the slide grooves is adapted to the groove of the guide rail, and each of the air outlets is connected to the cavity of the cleaning shell.
[0008] When the slide block slides on the slide rail, the blower is activated. The blower blows air through the blow pipe and the split pipe into the cavity inside the cleaning shell, and blows it out through the blow nozzle to clean the cuts in the guide rail groove.
[0009] Preferably, each of the cleaning shells is fixedly connected to a diverter pipe, and the blower pipe is made of a flexible material.
[0010] Preferably, each of the slide grooves is fixedly connected to a cleaning bristle at the groove corresponding to the guide rail, and the cleaning bristles in each slide groove are located on both sides of the air outlet.
[0011] Meanwhile, as the slide block slides, the cleaning bristles in each cleaning shell groove brush and clean the guide rail groove, achieving a self-cleaning effect. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning or machine shutdown, greatly improving processing efficiency.
[0012] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide rail, and slots are respectively opened at both ends of the support plate.
[0013] Preferably, each of the slots is fitted with a plug, and a collection box is fixedly connected to the top of each plug.
[0014] Under the action of the blower, the airflow continuously blows away the chips on the guide rail. The blown-down chips fall into the collection box for subsequent processing. When the chips in the collection box accumulate to a certain extent, the collection box is pulled outward by the handle, so that the insert block is removed from the slot and the chips in the collection box are emptied.
[0015] Preferably, each of the collection boxes is fixedly connected to one end with a handle, and each of the inserts is convex in shape.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:
[0017] First, in this utility model, when the slide block slides on the slide rail, by starting the blower, the blower blows air through the blow pipe and the diverter pipe into the cavity inside the cleaning shell, and blows it out through the blow nozzle to clean the cutting inside the guide rail groove. At the same time, when the slide block slides, the cleaning bristles in the groove of each cleaning shell brush and clean the guide rail groove, achieving a self-cleaning effect. It does not require manual cleaning or stopping the machine for cleaning, which greatly improves processing efficiency.
[0018] Secondly, in this utility model, under the action of the blower, the airflow continuously blows away the chips on the guide rail. The blown-down chips fall into the collection box for subsequent processing. When the chips in the collection box accumulate to a certain extent, the collection box is pulled outward by the handle, so that the insert block is removed from the slot, the chips in the collection box are emptied, and then reinserted into the slot, thereby achieving the effect of chip recycling and cleaning.
