Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining center technology, and in particular to an automatic cleaning device for a vertical machining center. Background Technology

[0002] A machining center is also known as a CNC milling machine with a tool magazine. A CNC milling machine is also called a CNC milling machine. The English meaning is a milling machine controlled by electronic digital signals. CNC milling machines are automated machining equipment developed from general milling machines; the machining processes are basically the same, and their structures are also somewhat similar. CNC milling machines are divided into two main categories: those without a tool magazine and those with a tool magazine.

[0003] High temperatures are generated during the machining process of parts, which affects the service life of cutting tools. Cooling media such as coolant and cooling oil are often used to reduce the heat generated during the machining process. However, after the product is finished, the liquid residue on the surface of the parts cannot be completely removed, which causes inconvenience to subsequent processing steps. The existing cleaning method is to remove it manually. This method increases the labor intensity of workers, causes environmental pollution, and poses safety hazards to human health.

[0004] Traditional cleaning devices leave water stains on the workpiece surface after cleaning, which may corrode the workpiece. Therefore, the surface needs to be wiped dry to avoid water stains remaining on the workpiece surface. Therefore, an automatic cleaning device for vertical machining centers is proposed.
