Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated production line technology, and in particular to a waste cleaning mechanism for automated production line equipment. Background Technology
[0002] An automated production line refers to a production line that connects machines on the production line through technologies such as robots, sensors, and computers to achieve automation and intelligence in the production process. It has advantages such as improving production efficiency and product quality, and reducing labor input and costs. It has a wide range of applications, covering fields such as automobile manufacturing, electronic product manufacturing, and food processing. Many devices on automated production lines generate waste, such as CNC machine tools, welding machines, and grinding machines. The waste generated by these devices often needs to be cleaned regularly.
[0003] In the existing technology, many manufacturers regularly clean up these waste chips manually. Manual cleaning has obvious problems such as insufficient efficiency and waste of human energy. Therefore, some manufacturers use mechanical conveying devices such as chain plates and screw conveyors to remove chips. These mechanical conveying devices run continuously during the chip removal process, which consumes a lot of energy. They also have problems such as easy wear and tear, difficulty in maintenance, easy accumulation of chips and blockage in the conveying channel. Moreover, such equipment often only matches one type of machine with one specification, which has low flexibility in use.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an automated production line waste cleaning mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a waste cleaning mechanism for automated production lines.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts a technical solution as follows: providing an automated production line tool waste cleaning mechanism, including a frame mechanism and an installation mechanism, wherein both ends of the frame mechanism are fixed with air blowing mechanisms for generating airflow, and the air blowing mechanisms are connected with connecting mechanisms for guiding the airflow direction;
[0007] An installation mechanism is fixed on the connecting mechanism;
[0008] The inner side of the frame structure is equipped with a material collection mechanism for collecting and removing waste.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the frame mechanism includes a vertical frame, a chip collection cover is welded and fixed on the vertical frame, a hopper is welded and fixed at the bottom end of the chip collection cover, and a chip receiving plate is welded and fixed on the hopper.
[0010] With the above technical solution, the upright frame, chip collection hood, hopper and chip receiving plate are all made of stainless steel, which has the characteristics of high strength and corrosion resistance. The chip receiving plate can be set under the workbench, thereby preventing waste chips from falling from the gap between the workbench and the device.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the air blowing mechanism includes a mounting frame bolted to both ends of the upright frame, a reinforcing diagonal brace welded to the mounting frame, a motor fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, and a fan fixedly mounted on the mounting frame.
[0012] Through the above technical solution, the strength of the mounting bracket can be effectively improved by strengthening the diagonal brace. The output shaft of the motor is fixed to the rotating shaft of the fan. When the motor is turned on, the fan will also rotate, thereby generating axial airflow.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the connecting mechanism includes a connecting cover nested and fixed to the output end of the fan, an air supply hose is sealed and connected to the connecting cover, and an air outlet is sealed and connected to the end of the air supply hose.
[0014] Through the above technical solution, the airflow generated by the blower is delivered to the air outlet through the connecting cover and the air supply hose, and blown out from the air outlet, thereby blowing the waste on the table towards the waste collection cover. The above blowing mechanism and connecting mechanism are provided in two sets, which effectively improves the blowing area of the device.
[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the mounting mechanism includes a joint fixed to the bottom end of the air outlet, and a hand-tightening screw is threaded onto the joint.
[0016] Through the above technical solution, the joint can rotate within a certain angle range. When the hand screw is tightened, the joint is locked and cannot be rotated, thereby realizing the adjustment and fixation of the air outlet angle.
[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: a perforated square tube is fixed at the bottom end of the joint component, a square sleeve is slidably disposed on the outside of the perforated square tube, a second hand-tightening screw is threadedly connected to the square sleeve, and a clamping structure is also fixed on the square sleeve, a third hand-tightening screw is threadedly connected to the clamping structure.
[0018] Through the above technical solution, multiple positioning holes are vertically opened on the perforated square tube. The second hand screw passes through one of the positioning holes. When the operator needs to adjust the height of the air blower, the second hand screw can be unscrewed, and the perforated square tube can be slid up and down to the specified height. Then, the second hand screw can be screwed back into the corresponding positioning hole on the square sleeve and the perforated square tube to achieve height adjustment. The end of the third hand screw is fixed with a clamping block. When the operator installs the air blower, the clamping structure can be aligned with the edge of the workbench and oriented towards the chip collection hood, and then the third hand screw can be tightened.
[0019] The present invention is further configured such that: the material collection mechanism includes a chip collection hopper movably disposed inside the upright frame, and universal wheels are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom end of the chip collection hopper. A push-pull handle is also fixed on the chip collection hopper, and a hinged door is also hinged on the chip collection hopper. Two locking pins are installed on the hinged door.
[0020] With the above technical solution, the chip collection hopper is located below the feed hopper, and its top opening is larger than the bottom opening of the feed hopper, thereby preventing the spillage of waste chips. The casters are lockable casters, and the workers can easily move the chip collection hopper by pushing and pulling the handle and casters. The bottom of the trapdoor can be rotated open, which makes it easy for workers to empty or clean the waste chips in the chip collection hopper. The locking pin can prevent the trapdoor from opening under the pressure of waste chips.

The frame mechanism 1 includes a vertical frame 101, on which a chip collecting cover 102 is welded and fixed. A feeding hopper 103 is welded and fixed to the bottom end of the chip collecting cover 102, and a chip receiving plate 104 is welded and fixed to the feeding hopper 103. The vertical frame 101, chip collecting cover 102, feeding hopper 103, and chip receiving plate 104 are all made of stainless steel, which has high strength and corrosion resistance. The chip receiving plate 104 can be set below the workbench surface to prevent waste from falling from the gap between the workbench surface and the device. Both ends of the frame mechanism 1 are fixed with... The air blowing mechanism 2 for generating airflow includes a mounting bracket 201 bolted to both ends of the upright frame 101. A reinforcing diagonal brace 202 is welded and fixed on the mounting bracket 201. A motor 203 is also fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 201.

The motor 203 is a servo motor 203, which can be started continuously or at timed intervals.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the blowing mechanism 2 is connected to a connecting mechanism 3 for guiding the airflow direction. The connecting mechanism 3 includes a connecting cover 301 nested and fixed to the output end of the blower 204. An air supply hose 302 is sealed and connected to the connecting cover 301. An air outlet 303 is sealed and connected to the end of the air supply hose 302. The airflow generated by the blower 204 is delivered to the air outlet 303 through the connecting cover 301 and the air supply hose 302, and blown out from the air outlet 303, thereby blowing the waste on the table towards the waste collection cover 102. The blowing mechanism 2 and the connecting mechanism 3 are provided in two sets, which effectively improves the blowing area of the device.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a mounting mechanism 4 is fixed to the connecting mechanism 3. The mounting mechanism 4 includes a joint 401 fixed to the bottom end of the air outlet 303. A first hand-tightening screw 402 is threaded onto the joint 401. A perforated square tube 403 is fixed to the bottom end of the joint 401. A square sleeve 404 is slidably disposed on the outside of the perforated square tube 403. A second hand-tightening screw 405 is threaded onto the square sleeve 404. A clamping structure 406 is also fixed to the square sleeve 404. A third hand-tightening screw 407 is threaded onto the clamping structure 406. The joint 401 can rotate within a certain angle range.
