Detailed Implementation

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figures 1-5As shown, a tool magazine for a CNC machining center includes a magazine body 10 and a ring array of placement sleeves 11 arranged along the inner edge of the magazine body 10. It also includes a cleaning mechanism. The placement sleeves 11 are used to place tools. The cleaning mechanism includes a support frame, a moving component, and a cleaning assembly. The support frame is located in the middle of the magazine body 10. The moving component includes a translation drive 31 and a connecting plate 32. The translation drive 31 is mounted on the support frame and connected to the connecting plate 32. One side of the connecting plate 32 has a mounting plate 33 extending to the outside of the support frame. The cleaning assembly includes a rotary drive, a cleaning cylinder 50, and a collection shell 60. The rotary drive is located on the side of the mounting plate 33 facing away from the magazine body 10 and includes a motor 41, a main gear 42, and a secondary gear 43. The motor 41 is mounted on the mounting plate 33 via a support block 44, and the main gear 42 is mounted on the shaft of the motor 41. The cleaning cylinder 50 includes three cylinders, with a rotating end and an open end at each end. The rotating end is equipped with a rotating shaft 51. The three cleaning cylinders 50 are rotatably mounted on the side of the mounting plate 33 facing the storage body 10 via the rotating shaft 51. The position of the cleaning cylinders 50 is aligned with the placement sleeve 11. The rotating shaft 51 passes through the mounting plate 33. The auxiliary gears 43 are respectively located at the ends of the rotating shaft 51, and two of the auxiliary gears 43 are respectively meshed on both sides of the remaining auxiliary gear 43. The main gear 42 meshes with one of the auxiliary gears 43. The inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 50 is provided with a cleaning component 52 for cleaning the surface of the cutting tool. The side wall of the cleaning cylinder 50 is provided with a chip removal hole 53. The collection shell 60 is sleeved on the outside of the cleaning cylinder 50, and the collection shell 60 is open on the side facing the storage body 10. The bottom inner wall of the collection shell 60 is provided with a collection groove.

[0031] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0032] In use, the translation drive 31 moves the connecting plate 32 toward the storage body 10, causing the cleaning components on the mounting plate 33 to move toward the storage body 10 together until the three cleaning cylinders 50 are respectively fitted onto the outside of the three blades. The start motor 41 drives the main gear 42 to rotate, which in turn drives the secondary gear 43 to rotate, causing the cleaning cylinders 50 to rotate. During the rotation, the cleaning component 52 scrapes the surface of the blades to clean the debris. The debris scraped off by the cleaning component 52 can fall out from the chip discharge hole 53 and be collected in the collection groove inside the collection shell 60. After cleaning the three blades, the translation drive 31 drives the cleaning cylinders 50 to detach from the blades, and the placement sleeve 11 of the storage body 10 can be rotated to align the subsequent three blades. The above steps are repeated to continue cleaning the subsequent blades.

[0033] In another embodiment, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, the cleaning components 52 include multiple components arranged in a ring array on the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 50. The cleaning components 52 can be any one of scraper blades, brushes or sponge pads. The chip removal holes 53 are strip-shaped holes and are opened between two adjacent cleaning components 52.

[0034] Multiple cleaning components 52 improve the efficiency of cleaning debris, and multiple debris discharge holes 53 facilitate the discharge of the cleaned debris from the cleaning cylinder 50.

[0035] In another embodiment, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, a collection tray 61 is provided inside the collection tank, and a pull-out opening communicating with the collection tank is provided on one side of the collection shell 60, and the pull-out opening matches the collection tray 61.

[0036] The collection drawer 61 facilitates the transfer of collected debris from the collection shell 60 to a designated location for processing.

[0037] In another embodiment, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the support frame includes side rods 21 and mounting rods 22. There are two side rods 21, symmetrically arranged on the body 10. The mounting rods 22 are vertically arranged at the ends of the side rods 21. The side rods 21 are provided with guide holes 23. The connecting plate 32 is arranged between the two side rods 21. The two sides of the connecting plate 32 are provided with guide blocks that slide to connect the guide holes 23. The mounting plate 33 is connected to the connecting plate 32 through one of the guide blocks. The translation drive component 31 is arranged on the mounting rod 22. The translation drive component 31 can be a cylinder.

[0038] When the connecting plate 32 moves, it is guided by the guide block. The supporting effect of the guide block makes the movement of the connecting plate 32 more stable, which helps the cleaning cylinder 50 to align with the tool and prevents it from shifting.

[0039] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
