Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of machining, and in particular to a chip collection device for machine tool guideways. Background Technology

[0002] A machine tool guideway chip collection device is a device used to clean the guideways on CNC machine tools, and it has wide applications in the machining process. In the prior art, a utility model patent with patent application number 202222962481.7 discloses a machine tool guideway chip cleaning device, which mainly consists of a collection box and a vacuum fan. In use, the vacuum fan sucks the chips on the guideways into the collection box for storage. However, this device has the following problems: when the workpiece is milled in the machine tool, cutting fluid is continuously sprayed onto the milling cutter to improve milling quality and reduce the temperature of the milling cutter. Some of this cutting fluid adheres to the chips on the machine tool guideway, making the chips quite moist. Moist chips stored in the collection box are prone to rust, affecting subsequent recycling and making use inconvenient. Therefore, a guideway chip collection device with a chip drying function is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a machine tool guide rail chip collection device that can not only clean and collect debris on the guide rail, but also dry the debris, slow down the rusting of the debris, facilitate further recycling of the debris, and is easy to use and highly practical.

The suction pipe is mounted on the electric mobile cart via the moving mechanism, which is used to move the suction pipe. The suction pipe is connected to the suction mechanism, which has the function of sucking up chips. The suction mechanism is mounted on the electric mobile cart and has a drying mechanism, which has the function of drying. When it is necessary to clean and collect chips on the machine tool guideway, the suction pipe is brought close to the guideway where the chips need to be collected. Then, the suction mechanism is opened, allowing the chips on the guideway to enter the suction mechanism for storage through the suction pipe. At the same time, the moving mechanism is opened, causing the suction pipe to move along the guideway, allowing the suction pipe to thoroughly clean the chips on the guideway. After all the chips on the guideway have been sucked into the suction mechanism, the drying mechanism is opened to dry the chips in the suction mechanism, preventing the chips from rusting during long-term storage and facilitating further recycling of the chips. It is convenient to use and highly practical.

[0005] Preferably, the suction mechanism includes a support plate, a storage cylinder, a sealing cap, a delivery hose, and a vacuum pump.

The vacuum hose rotates; when the vacuum hose sucks up debris from the guide rail, the electric slide rail A is opened. Electric slide rail A allows the sliding plate to move back and forth, which in turn allows electric slide rail B, the lifting block, electric slide rail C, and the moving plate to move back and forth.

The suction pipe 2 is mounted on the electric mobile cart 1 via the moving mechanism, which is used to move the suction pipe 2. The suction pipe 2 is connected to the suction mechanism, which has the function of sucking up chips. The suction mechanism is mounted on the electric mobile cart 1 and has a drying mechanism, which has the function of drying. When it is necessary to clean and collect chips on the machine tool guideway, the suction pipe 2 is brought close to the guideway where the chips need to be collected. Then, the suction mechanism is opened, allowing the chips on the guideway to enter the suction mechanism for storage through the suction pipe 2. At the same time, the moving mechanism is opened, causing the suction pipe 2 to move along the guideway, allowing the suction pipe 2 to thoroughly clean the chips on the guideway. After all the chips on the guideway have been sucked into the suction mechanism, the drying mechanism is opened to dry the chips in the suction mechanism, preventing the chips from rusting during long-term storage and facilitating further recycling of the chips. It is convenient to use and highly practical.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The suction mechanism includes a support plate 3, a storage cylinder 4, a sealing cover 5, a delivery hose 6, and a vacuum pump 7. The storage cylinder 4 is fixedly mounted on the electric mobile vehicle 1 via the support plate 3. The storage cylinder 4 has a chamber inside, and its upper end is open. The sealing cover 5 is bolted to the opening at the upper end of the storage cylinder 4.

The vacuum pump 7 is mounted on the storage cylinder 4, and its input end is connected to the upper part of the chamber of the storage cylinder 4. A filter cloth is provided at the input end of the vacuum pump 7. When cleaning debris from the guide rail, the input end of the suction pipe 2 is brought close to the guide rail, and the vacuum pump 7 is turned on to create a negative pressure in the storage cylinder 4. The debris from the guide rail is then collected in the storage cylinder 4 via the suction pipe 2 and the delivery hose 6, facilitating the cleaning of debris from the guide rail.

[0022] The drying mechanism includes multiple heating plates, all of which are mounted on the storage cylinder 4. The heating ends of the heating plates are embedded in the inner wall of the storage cylinder 4. When drying the debris in the chamber of the storage cylinder 4, the multiple heating plates on the storage cylinder 4 are turned on to heat the debris in the chamber of the storage cylinder 4 and dry the debris. This facilitates the drying of the debris.

At the same time, the lifting block 11 can be moved up and down through the electric slide rail B10, thereby moving the electric slide rail C12 and the moving plate 13 up and down. The moving plate 13 can be moved left and right through the electric slide rail C12. Since the moving plate 13 can move left and right, up and down, and back and forth, it can drive the suction pipe 2 to move arbitrarily in three directions in space.

When collecting chips on the z-axis guide rail of the machine tool through the dust suction pipe 2, the motor 15 is turned on. The motor 15 drives the rotating shaft 16 to rotate 90 degrees, which in turn causes the connecting rod 17 and the dust suction pipe 2 to rotate, causing the dust suction pipe 2 to rotate 90 degrees and turn downwards onto the z-axis guide rail, facilitating the collection and cleaning of debris on the z-axis guide rail by the dust suction pipe 2. The sealing cap 5 is equipped with a handle.
