Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of CNC lathe auxiliary equipment, specifically to a chip conveyor with dehydration function. Background Technology

[0002] The wheel hub is a crucial vehicle component, consisting of the rotating part of the wheel core connected to the inner profile of the tire via a column. Wheel hubs are primarily manufactured using casting methods to create blanks, which are then machined on a CNC lathe. CNC lathes used for turning typically employ an auxiliary device called a chip conveyor. This device transports the metal chips produced during machining from inside the machine to the outside, preventing them from accumulating inside and affecting part processing. Furthermore, during machining, cutting fluid is used to cool and lubricate the parts and tools to ensure machining quality and reduce tool wear; the cutting fluid also assists in chip removal by flushing away the chips, preventing frictional damage to the workpiece surface. Therefore, the chips discharged through the chip conveyor usually contain a significant amount of cutting fluid. After this fluid is carried away, new cutting fluid needs to be added to the CNC lathe. This not only wastes cutting fluid, increasing machining costs, but also requires environmentally friendly treatment before discharge, resulting in a double increase in costs. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To enhance understanding of this utility model, it will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. This utility model can be implemented in the following ways:

[0024] Reference Figure 1-2 A chip conveyor with dehydration function includes a chip conveying mechanism 1, a dehydration device 2, and a transfer device 3.

[0025] The chip conveying mechanism 1 has its feed end located at the bottom of the CNC lathe 4, and its discharge end lifted upwards to transport the chips to the dewatering device 2. Specifically, the chip conveying mechanism 1 includes a support frame 11, a transmission chain 12 mounted on the support frame 11, and a transmission drive source 13 that drives the transmission chain 12 to rotate. Several scrapers 14 are evenly distributed on the transmission chain 12. The chips 5 falling from the CNC lathe 4 eventually land on the scrapers 14 of the transmission chain 12, and the transmission chain 12 drives the scrapers 14 to move the chips 5 in the chip discharge direction. The support frame 11 includes a receiving part 111, a conveying inclined part 112, and a discharge part 113 connected in sequence. The receiving part 111 is located at the bottom of the CNC lathe 4, and its length is greater than the waste discharge port 41 of the CNC lathe 4, ensuring that it can catch all the chips 5 falling from the CNC lathe 4. The discharge section 113 is higher than the receiving section 111, and the material conveying inclined section 112 is inclined upward from the receiving section 111 to the discharge section 113. The dewatering device 2 is located below the discharge section 113. The chips 5 falling from the CNC lathe 4 enter the dewatering device 2 in sequence through the receiving section 111, the material conveying inclined section 112, and the discharge section 113.

[0026] To ensure the rotation of the transmission chain 12, the transmission drive source 13 includes several transmission shafts 131 disposed inside the transmission chain 12, wherein one of the transmission shafts 131 is movably connected to a drive motor 132. The drive motor 132 drives the transmission shaft 131 to rotate, thereby moving the transmission chain 12 and the scraper 14 mounted on the transmission chain 12, and conveying the chips 5 falling on the scraper 14 to the dewatering device 2 outside the CNC lathe 4.

[0027] The dehydration device 2 is located below the discharge end of the chip conveying mechanism 1. The dehydration device 2 includes a housing 21, a dehydration tank 22 located inside the housing 21, a hopper 23 that guides the chips 5 into the dehydration tank 22, and a rotary drive source 24 that drives the dehydration tank 22 to rotate. The housing 21 has an inner cavity 25 for mounting the dehydration tank 22, and the inner cavity 25 is connected to a return pipe 26 that returns the cutting fluid 6 to the CNC lathe 4 for recycling. The rotary drive source 24 can be a motor. The chips 5 on the chip conveying mechanism 1 enter the dehydration tank 22 through the hopper 23, and the rotary drive source 24 drives the dehydration tank 22 to rotate at high speed, separating the cutting fluid 6 from the chips 5.

[0028] To ensure complete recovery of the cutting fluid 6 after solid-liquid separation, the dehydration tank 22 is evenly distributed with outlet holes 221 for discharging the cutting fluid 6. The diameter of the outlet holes 221 is smaller than the size of the chips 5, allowing the cutting fluid 6 adhering to the chips 5 to separate from the chips 5 under centrifugal force. The dehydration device 2 is internally equipped with a partition 27 that divides the inner cavity 25 into a drain chamber 251 and a chip removal chamber. The return pipe 26 is connected to the drain chamber 251. Because the partition 27 divides the inner cavity 25 of the outer shell 21 into the drain chamber 251 and the chip removal chamber 252, the cutting fluid 6 separated by the dehydration tank 22 splashes from the outlet holes 221 into the interior of the outer shell 21, then flows to the bottom of the drain chamber 251 under gravity, and finally returns to the CNC lathe 4 for recycling via the return pipe 26. The design of the partition 27 ensures that the separated cutting fluid 6 is effectively isolated from the dehydrated chips 5.

[0029] Furthermore, a cutting guide plate (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the dehydration tank 22. As the dehydrated chips 5 rotate, they gradually move towards the chip discharge port under the action of the cutting guide plate. The design of the cutting guide plate ensures that the chips 5 move in the chip discharge direction.

[0030] To facilitate the collection and transfer of dehydrated chips 5, the transfer device 3 is positioned below the dehydration device 2. A chip discharge port 28 is located on one side of the bottom of the outer casing 21 of the dehydration device 2, above the transfer device 3. The transfer device 3 is a wheeled transfer trolley. The transfer trolley is equipped with a handle 31 for easy pushing and pulling. When the chip 5 is full, the operator can replace it with a new transfer trolley.

[0031] Working principle: When the CNC lathe 4 is machining, the chips 5 produced by machining and the cutting fluid 6 adhering to the chips 5 will fall onto the scraper 14 of the transmission chain 12 of the chip conveying mechanism 1; the drive motor 132 drives the transmission shaft 131 to move the transmission chain 12 and the scraper 14 installed on the transmission chain 12, and transports the chips 5 that fall on the scraper 14 to the outside of the CNC lathe 4. When the chips 5 are conveyed to the outer end of the discharge section 113 by the transmission chain 12, the chips 5 fall into the hopper 23 and enter the dewatering barrel 22. The dewatering barrel 22 rotates at high speed under the drive of the rotary drive source 24, so that the cutting fluid 6 adhering to the chips 5 is separated from the chips 5 under the action of centrifugation. The separated cutting fluid 6 flows back to the CNC lathe 4 through the return pipe 26 for recycling. The dewatered chips 5 move gradually towards the chip discharge port 28 under the action of the cutting guide plate while the dewatering barrel 22 is rotating, and finally fall into the transfer device 3 through the chip discharge port 28.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
