Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal processing technology, and in particular to a chip removal device for metal parts processing. Background Technology
[0002] In the metalworking industry, a large amount of metal shavings are generated through cutting, drilling, grinding, and other machining processes. These shavings not only affect the precision and lifespan of processing equipment but also pose a threat to operator safety. Furthermore, the accumulation of shavings in the work environment reduces production efficiency and increases cleaning costs. Therefore, effectively and efficiently cleaning shavings generated during metalworking is crucial for ensuring smooth production and a clean working environment.
[0003] Currently, various metalworking chip removal devices are available on the market, most of which use cleaning brushes, bristles, or sponge pads as cleaning media. These devices clean chips from the workpiece or worktable by moving the cleaning media back and forth. For example, some devices use motor-driven cleaning brushes to scrub the surface of the workpiece to remove chips adhering to it; others use sponge pads to absorb chips, using the suction force of the pads to remove chips from the worktable. These devices solve the chip removal problem to some extent and improve processing efficiency.
[0004] However, existing debris removal devices still have some significant drawbacks. During the cleaning process, debris often adheres to the cleaning brush or sponge along with the coolant. While the coolant serves to cool and lubricate, it also increases the adhesion between the debris and the cleaning medium, making the debris even more difficult to remove. Once the coolant dries, the debris and coolant remain stuck to the cleaning medium, forming a layer of difficult-to-remove dirt. This not only reduces cleaning efficiency but can also damage the cleaning medium, increasing the frequency and cost of replacing it. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the drawback of easy adhesion of debris, this utility model provides a debris cleaning device for metal parts processing cycles.
[0006] A chip removal device for metal parts processing includes a processing bed, a cleaning frame, an air supply pipe, and a collection assembly. The processing bed has mounting frames connected to its left and right sides. A lead screw and a guide rod are rotatably connected to each mounting frame on both sides. A motor is installed behind the mounting frame containing the lead screw, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the lead screw. One end of the bottom of the cleaning frame is threaded to the lead screw, and the other end is slidably connected to the guide rod. A blower is installed on the cleaning frame, and an air outlet pipe is connected to the bottom of the upper part of the cleaning frame. One end of the air supply pipe is connected to the air outlet of the blower, and the other end is connected to the air outlet pipe. A cleaning air port is opened at the bottom of the air outlet pipe. A collection assembly for collecting chips is provided on the front side of the processing bed.
[0007] As a further preferred embodiment, the collection assembly includes a guide plate, which is connected to the bottom front side of the machining bed. A collection box is slidably connected to the guide plate, and handles are connected to the left and right sides of the collection box.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment, a splash guard is connected to the front of the upper part of the cleaning rack, and several rubber strips are connected to the front side of the splash guard and the rear side of the cleaning rack.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment, a baffle is connected to the top of the collection box.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment, a telescopic pad is connected to the mounting frame, with one end of the telescopic pad connected to the front and rear ends of the mounting frame and the other end connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the cleaning rack.
[0011] As a further preferred option, the bottom of the collection box has a pre-drilled hole.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0013] By using a blower, air supply pipe, air outlet pipe, and cleaning air port, and blowing air at a specific angle, the debris adhering to the cleaning brush is blown away, effectively reducing the time that debris adheres to the cleaning brush, and assisting in the dispersion and separation of the debris and coolant mixture, the cleaning efficiency and the cleanliness of the cleaning parts are improved, so that the cleaning parts can be recycled.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solution will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that the terms "up," "down," "left," and "right" used herein refer only to the position of the structure shown in the corresponding drawings. The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. Unless otherwise specified, terms such as "connection" and "linkage" in this application include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).
[0019] Example: A chip removal device for metal parts processing, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the assembly includes a processing bed 1, a mounting frame 2, a lead screw 3, a motor 4, a guide rod 5, a cleaning frame 6, a blower 7, an air supply pipe 8, an air outlet pipe 9, and a collection assembly. The processing bed 1 is connected to the mounting frames 2 on both the left and right sides. The lead screw 3 is rotatably connected inside the right mounting frame 2, and the guide rod 5 is connected inside the left mounting frame 2. The motor 4 is installed behind the right mounting frame 2, and the output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to the lead screw 3. One end of the bottom of the cleaning frame 6 is threaded to the lead screw 3, and the other end is slidably connected to the guide rod 5. The blower 7 is installed on the cleaning frame 6. The bottom of the upper part of the cleaning frame 6 is connected to the air outlet pipe 9. One end of the air supply pipe 8 is connected to the air outlet of the blower 7, and the other end is connected to the air outlet pipe 9. The bottom of the air outlet pipe 9 has a cleaning air port 10, and the air blown out of the cleaning air port 10 is tilted forward. The cleaning frame 6 is connected to a cleaning brush, and the cleaning air port is aligned with the cleaning brush. A collection assembly for collecting debris is provided on the front side of the processing bed 1.
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the collection assembly includes a guide plate 12, a collection box 13, and a handle 14. The guide plate 12 is connected to the bottom front side of the processing bed 1, and the collection box 13 is slidably connected to the guide plate 12. The top edge of the collection box 13 is lower than the processing table surface of the processing bed 1, and the handles 14 are connected to the left and right sides of the collection box 13.
[0021] When machining bed 1 is performing metal processing, coolant will flush the metal to maintain the temperature of the tool and the metal during the processing. The debris flushed by the coolant will remain on the worktable of machining bed 1. After the metal processing is completed, motor 4 will be started. Motor 4 will drive lead screw 3 to rotate. Lead screw 3 will cause the cleaning frame 6 connected to it to move back and forth. At the same time, blower 7 will be turned on. The airflow blown by blower 7 will enter the air outlet 9 through air supply pipe 8. After the airflow is sprayed out through the cleaning air port 10 of air outlet 9, it will blow away the coolant and metal debris stuck on the cleaning brush and blow the debris and coolant on the worktable of machining bed 1 into the collection assembly at the front. After the debris and coolant are cleaned, motor 4 will be turned off and cleaning frame 6 will move to the rear to facilitate subsequent metal processing.
[0022] The debris removed by the cleaning rack 6 enters the collection box 13. After cleaning for a period of time, the collection box 13 is pulled out by the handle 14. The collection box 13 slides on the guide plate 12, and then the debris and coolant are separated. The empty collection box 13 is then placed on the guide plate 12.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a splash guard 11 and adhesive strips 15. The splash guard 11 is connected to the front of the upper part of the cleaning rack 6, and several adhesive strips 15 are connected to the front of the splash guard 11 and the rear of the cleaning rack 6.
[0024] The splash guard 11 is used to extend the installation position of the front rubber sleeve, so that there is a certain distance between the front rubber strip 15 and the air outlet pipe 9. When blowing air, the rubber strip 15 will not be blown too much, ensuring that the rubber strip 15 can contact the work surface. The rubber strips 15 on the front and rear sides are used to prevent debris from splashing and maintain close contact with the work surface.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a baffle 16. The baffle 16 is connected to the top of the collection box 13. The width of the opening on the rear side of the baffle 16 is greater than the width of the worktable of the processing machine 1.
[0026] The baffles 16 extend backward on both sides to collect debris and prevent coolant and debris from splashing and sticking to the workers.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a telescopic pad 17. The telescopic pad 17 is connected to the mounting frame 2. One end of the telescopic pad 17 is connected to the front and rear ends of the mounting frame 2, and the other end is connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the cleaning rack 6.
[0028] The telescopic pad 17 can cover the opening at the top of the mounting frame 2, thereby preventing debris from entering the mounting frame 2, especially the mounting frame 2 where the lead screw 3 is located. When the cleaning frame 6 moves, the telescopic pad 17 can stretch and contract accordingly to ensure the stability of the movement of the cleaning frame 6.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a reserved hole 18 is opened at the bottom of the collection box 13, which is used for vertically moving the collection box 13.
[0030] For heavier collection boxes 13 or if the debris disposal point is far away, the reserved hole 18 at the bottom of the collection box 13 can be used with lifting equipment to lift it from the bottom and move it, thereby reducing the burden of manual handling.
[0031] During metal processing, the airflow generated by blower 7 is precisely delivered to outlet pipe 9 through air supply pipe 8, and then blown out at a specific angle from cleaning port 10, effectively dispersing and separating the mixture of debris and coolant adhering to the cleaning brush or worktable, avoiding debris adhesion problems. Simultaneously, the splash guard 11 and rubber strip 15 prevent debris and coolant from splashing, further protecting the cleaning medium from additional wear. Baffle 16 is responsible for collecting debris and preventing it from splashing everywhere. Furthermore, telescopic pad 17 covers critical mechanical components, preventing debris intrusion and ensuring the smooth movement of cleaning frame 6. Driven by motor 4, the entire device moves the cleaning frame 6 back and forth along guide rod 5, coordinating with the airflow from blower 7 to achieve efficient and long-lasting cleaning of metal processing debris, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and the service life of the cleaned parts, bringing a cleaner and more reliable working experience to the metal processing environment.
[0032] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.
