Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of debris collection devices, and in particular to a debris collection device for a CNC lathe. Background Technology

[0002] CNC lathes are among the most widely used CNC machine tools. They are primarily used for cutting and machining internal and external cylindrical surfaces, internal and external conical surfaces with arbitrary cone angles, complex rotating internal and external curved surfaces, and cylindrical and conical threads on shaft-type or disc-type parts. They can also perform grooving, drilling, reaming, boring, and other machining operations. CNC machine tools automatically machine parts according to pre-programmed machining procedures. We compile the machining process route, process parameters, tool movement trajectory, displacement, cutting parameters, and auxiliary functions into a machining program sheet according to the instruction codes and program format specified by the CNC machine tool. This program sheet is then recorded on a control medium and input into the CNC device of the CNC machine tool, thereby directing the machine tool to machine the parts. During CNC lathe operation, part debris is generated, which needs to be removed promptly; therefore, a waste collection device is used for material handling.

[0003] In existing collection devices, the debris generated during lathe machining is transported to the collection hopper via a conveyor structure. However, because the collection hopper is equipped with wheels, it is unstable and prone to slipping, causing it to not be aligned with the discharge port, which affects normal operation. In addition, it is difficult for workers to turn the collection hopper over when emptying the collected debris, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

Then, the two U-shaped blocks on the right side of the collection bucket are inserted into the fixing ring on the surface of the support leg, so that the limiting holes opened on the surface of the U-shaped blocks and the fixing ring form a passage. The limiting pin is inserted into the limiting hole for fixation, thereby improving the stability of the collection bucket and preventing the collection bucket from being subjected to external force, causing the collection bucket to shift from the unloading chamber, resulting in chips falling to the ground and affecting the normal use of the equipment.

[0017] 2.
