Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a lathe, and more particularly to a machining lathe with solid-liquid separation and waste collection functions, belonging to the field of lathe technology. Background Technology

[0002] A lathe is a machine tool primarily used to machine rotating workpieces using cutting tools. Drills, reamers, taps, dies, and knurling tools can also be used on a lathe for various machining operations. During machining processes, especially lathe machining, the waste generated often contains both solid and liquid components, such as metal shavings and cutting fluid, and this waste needs to be collected and reused.

[0003] The "CNC lathe equipped with a chip collection device" disclosed in application number "202020064933.8" "includes a lathe body, a headstock, a tailstock, a tool post, a slide rail, and a tool turret; a first baffle is provided in the slide rail at the bottom of the headstock, and the first baffle is provided with a telescopic rod; a second baffle is provided in the slide rail at the bottom of the tailstock; and a third baffle is provided in the slide rail under the tool post." In this utility model, the coordinated action of the three baffles, combined with the rotation of the tool post and the movement of the tailstock, collects the chips falling into the slide rail and ultimately collects them in a collection box at the tail for unified processing. For older equipment, this solves the problem of difficult chip collection on older CNC lathes and optimizes the processing environment.

[0004] However, the above method still has the following drawbacks: the collection box can collect the scrap metal in the slide rail groove in a unified manner; however, in actual use, the collection box often mixes the metal scrap metal with the cutting fluid during collection, lacking the necessary solid-liquid separation function, which increases the complexity of subsequent waste processing and separation. Furthermore, when recycling metal scrap metal later, more resources and processes are required to remove the cutting fluid, which undoubtedly increases the recycling cost. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a lathe for machining with solid-liquid separation and waste collection, including a lathe body 1. A machining frame 2 is fixedly installed at the middle of the top of the lathe body 1. The machining frame 2 specifically includes a spindle box, tailstock, tool post, slide rails, and tool turret, etc., which can perform cutting operations on the workpiece. A scraper 3 is slidably installed on the top of the lathe body 1, which can scrape off metal chips generated during cutting. A discharge chute 4 is opened on the top of one side of the lathe body 1. A collection box 5 is provided on one side of the lathe body 1. A filter box 6 is slidably installed on the top of the collection box 5. The bottom of the filter box 6 has several evenly spaced filter holes. The cutting fluid can be filtered through the filter box 6. The filtration system collects cutting fluid through the collection box 5, allowing metal chips to be collected inside the filter box 6, achieving solid-liquid separation. This reduces the complexity of subsequent waste processing and separation, and eliminates the need for additional resources and processes to remove cutting fluid during subsequent metal chip recycling, thus reducing recycling costs. A lifting component 7 is located on one side of the filter box 6 for easy lifting. A bracket 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the other side of the lathe body 1, and a moving component 9 for moving the scraper 3 is located inside the bracket 8. This moving component 9 allows the scraper 3 to move horizontally, scraping away metal chips during cutting and improving waste collection efficiency.

[0026] The lifting assembly 7 includes two locking blocks 701, which are symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the top of the filter box 6. The locking blocks 701 are engaged with the collection box 5. A handle 702 is fixedly provided on one side of the locking block 701, and an anti-slip sleeve 703 is provided on the surface of the handle 702. By using the lifting assembly 7, the locking blocks 701 are moved upward by the handle 702, which in turn moves the filter box 6, thereby enabling the filter box 6 to be disassembled and the metal debris collected inside to be dumped.

[0027] The moving assembly 9 includes a lead screw 901, which is rotatably mounted inside the support 8. A moving frame 902 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 901 via a lead screw nut. The moving frame 902 is fixedly connected to the scraper 3 and slidably connected to the lathe body 1. A retainer 905 is fixedly mounted on one side of the scraper 3 and slidably connected to the lathe body 1. Two guide rods 903 are symmetrically slidably mounted inside the moving frame 902, and both ends of the guide rods 903 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support 8. A motor 904 is fixedly mounted on one side of the support 8, and the output shaft of the motor 904 passes through the support 8 and is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 901. Through the moving assembly 9, the motor 904 drives the lead screw 901 to move, which, combined with the guide rods 903, drives the moving frame 902 to move horizontally, thereby driving the scraper 3 to move. This enables scraping of metal chips during cutting, making it more convenient to use and improving the waste collection effect.

[0028] Two support blocks 10 are symmetrically fixed in the middle of the lathe body 1. Insert plates 11 are fixed on both sides of the collection box 5. The support blocks 10 have slots 15 that are inserted into the insert plates 11. Insert rods 12 are slidably installed inside the support blocks 10. Insert holes for insertion of insert rods 12 are opened on one side of the top of the insert plates 11. A screw 13 is fixed at the top of the insert rod 12. The support blocks 10 and the screw 13 are threaded together. A knob 14 is fixed at the top of the screw 13. The screw 13 is rotated by the knob 14, which moves the insert rod 12 in the vertical direction, so that the insert rod 12 and the insertion hole at the insert plate 11 can be inserted into each other. This makes it easy to limit the position of the insert plates 11, thereby enabling the collection box 5 to be installed and fixed, and also making it easy to disassemble and use.

[0029] A handle 16 is fixedly provided on the surface of the collection box 5. A sealing strip is fixedly provided at the connection between the collection box 5 and the lathe body 1. Baffles 21 are fixedly provided on both sides of the top of the collection box 5. A sealing strip is fixedly provided at the connection between the baffles 21 and the collection box 5. A discharge pipe 20 is fixedly provided on one side of the bottom of the collection box 5. A discharge valve is provided in the middle of the discharge pipe 20. The handle 16 facilitates the stretching and moving of the collection box 5. The sealing strips 1 and 2 facilitate the sealing function. The discharge pipe 20 and the discharge valve enable the discharge of cutting fluid.

[0030] A base 17 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the lathe body 1, and four evenly spaced guide wheels 18 are fixedly provided at the bottom end of the collection box 5. A moving groove 19 is provided on one side of the top of the base 17 to move and cooperate with the guide wheels 18, and the edge of the moving groove 19 is chamfered. The chamfering at the edge of the moving groove 19 facilitates the pushing of the collection box 5. The guide wheels 18 and the moving groove 19 provided at the collection box 5 play a limiting and guiding role in the movement of the collection box 5, making it easy to position it at the lathe body 1.

[0031] In use, the machining operation is performed via the machining frame 2 located above the lathe body 1. Metal chips and cutting fluid generated during machining fall into the groove of the lathe body 1 and are discharged through the discharge chute 4, allowing the cutting fluid and some metal chips to be discharged. The filter box 6 effectively filters the cutting fluid while retaining metal chips inside. The collection box 5 collects the filtered cutting fluid, achieving solid-liquid separation of the waste. During the process, the motor 904 drives the lead screw 901 to rotate clockwise, which, combined with the guide rod 903, moves the moving frame 902 horizontally, thereby moving the scraper 3 and removing metal chips generated during cutting. The scraping operation improves the efficiency of waste collection and ensures thorough collection, effectively reducing the residue of metal shavings in the working area. After collection, the discharge valve can be opened to discharge the cutting fluid and collect it. The two handles 702 drive the locking block 701 to move upward, thereby lifting the filter box 6 and allowing the collected metal shavings to be dumped. When it is necessary to disassemble the collection box 5, the knob 14 drives the screw 13 to rotate, thereby moving the insertion rod 12 in the vertical direction, so that the insertion rod 12 separates from the insertion hole at the insertion plate 11, making it easy to disassemble and use. The collection box 5 can then be maintained.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
