Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of parts processing technology, specifically relating to a tracked chip conveyor for a vertical machining center. Background Technology

[0002] Vertical machining centers are precision machining equipment widely used in modern manufacturing. Characterized by high-speed cutting and precision machining technology, they are primarily used for machining parts from metals, plastics, ceramics, and other materials, as well as in mold making. Employing CNC technology, these machines can achieve multi-axis linkage, automatic tool changing, and automatic measurement, offering high precision, high efficiency, and high flexibility. During machining, they can perform various processes such as milling, drilling, tapping, and boring, achieving precision machining of workpieces.

[0003] Application No. 202322316799.2 discloses a tracked chip removal device. The utility model discloses a tracked chip removal device including a housing, a track body disposed inside the housing, a fixed plate fixedly disposed on the housing, a first driving component fixedly disposed on the fixed plate, a chip inlet on one side of the housing, and a chip outlet on the side of the housing away from the chip inlet. Two support plates are fixedly disposed at the bottom of the upper end of the housing, and a rotating roller is rotatably disposed between the two support plates. A second driving component is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of one of the support plates. Multiple bristles are disposed on the surface of the rotating roller, which are used to contact the surface of the track body. Two magnetic components are fixedly disposed between the two support plates. This allows the multiple bristles to sequentially contact the surface of the track body, cleaning away the debris adhering to the surface. When the multiple bristles rotate, they contact the two magnetic components, which attract the metal debris adhering to the multiple bristles. Afterwards, the two magnetic components are de-energized, causing the metal debris to fall off, resulting in high chip removal efficiency.

[0004] Although the vertical machining center mentioned in the above document has a highly efficient chip removal function, in actual operation, the discharged chips are not effectively classified and treated, resulting in the accumulation of chips and cutting fluid. This not only increases the difficulty of material recycling and classification in subsequent processing, but also hinders environmental protection and resource reuse. Therefore, a crawler-type chip conveyor for vertical machining centers has emerged. Utility Model Content

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a tracked chip conveyor for a vertical machining center, comprising:

[0027] The transport box 101, the conveyor belt 102 movably connected to the inner wall of the transport box 101, the transfer component 103 disposed on the side wall of the transport box 101, the separation component 104 disposed on the outer surface of the transfer component 103 for use with the transfer component 103, and the auxiliary component 105 disposed on the outer surface of the separation component 104 for use with the separation component 104.

[0028] The transfer assembly 103 includes a transfer box 103a connected to the side wall of the transport box 101, and a drive motor 103b adapted to be installed on the side wall of the transfer box 103a. The transfer assembly 103 also includes a side ear 103c fixedly installed on the side wall of the transfer box 103a, and a discharge port 103d opened on the side wall of the transfer box 103a.

[0029] Specifically, the drive motor 103b drives the conveyor track 102 to move, providing stable power output for the operation of the conveyor track 102.

[0030] The separation assembly 104 includes a splash guard 104a connected to the side wall of the discharge port 103d, a connecting rod 104b connected to the side wall of the splash guard 104a via a bearing, and a distribution hopper 104c fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod 104b. The separation assembly 104 also includes a discharge hopper 104d fixedly installed on the side wall of the distribution hopper 104c and a distribution port 104e opened on the side wall of the distribution hopper 104c.

[0031] Furthermore, the combination of the separating hopper 104c and the unloading hopper 104d facilitates the separation of waste chips from cutting fluid, making subsequent waste chip processing easier.

[0032] The auxiliary component 105 includes a vibratory motor 105a fixedly installed on the side wall of the distribution hopper 104c, a discharge valve 105b connected to the bottom of the distribution hopper 104c, and a connector 105c fixedly installed on the side wall of the distribution hopper 104c. The auxiliary component 105 also includes a transmission rod 105d fixedly installed on the side wall of the connector 105c, and a cylinder 105e fixedly connected to the end of the transmission rod 105d.

[0033] It should be noted that the cylinder 105e is designed to facilitate the discharge of cutting fluid carried on the waste chips; the feed valve 105b is designed to facilitate the discharge of waste chips.

[0034] In use, the device is mounted on the processing device via the side lug 103c, and the transport box 101 is placed below the processing device. During processing, the transport box 101 catches the waste chips, and the drive motor 103b drives the conveyor belt 102 to run. The conveyor belt moves the waste chips towards the discharge port 103d. When the conveyor belt reaches its highest point, the waste chips are discharged through the discharge port 103d and fall into the distribution hopper 104c. The splash guard 104a prevents the waste chips from splashing during the transfer. In the distribution hopper 104c, the waste chips separate from the cutting fluid by gravity. The cutting fluid flows into the discharge hopper 104d through the distribution port 104e and is collected by the discharge hopper 104d. By opening and closing the discharge valve 105b, the drained waste chips can be discharged and recycled. The extension and retraction of the cylinder 105e can adjust the angle of the distribution hopper 104c to facilitate further draining of the waste chips.

[0035] In summary, by installing the side lug 103c below the machining device, and utilizing the coordinated operation of the transport box 101, conveyor belt 102, discharge port 103d, and distribution hopper 104c, efficient collection and classification of waste chips are achieved. The effective cooperation between the drive motor 103b and the conveyor belt 102 ensures continuous transport of waste chips. The splash guard 104a prevents waste chips from splashing, while the distribution hopper 104c utilizes gravity to separate the cutting fluid from the waste chips. At the same time, the telescopic function of the cylinder 105e adjusts the angle of the distribution hopper 104c, further improving the drying effect of waste chips. This not only enhances the automation level of waste chip processing and reduces environmental pollution, but also improves the recycling rate of resources through the recovery of cutting fluid and the drying of waste chips, significantly improving the operating efficiency and environmental performance of the machining center.
