Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining center technology, and in particular to a metal machining center. Background Technology
[0002] Machining centers evolved from CNC milling machines. The biggest difference between them is that machining centers have the ability to automatically change machining tools. By installing tools for different purposes on the tool magazine, the machining tools on the spindle can be changed in one setup through an automatic tool changer, thus realizing multiple machining functions.
[0003] The existing CNC machining method for producing metal parts (publication number: CN222608905U) has at least the following drawbacks: When cleaning the filter screen, the device uses a scraper to scrape the surface of the filter screen to achieve cleaning. However, due to the small size of the metal debris during processing, its tip may get stuck in the filter holes of the filter screen, making it difficult for the scraper to scrape it away. Moreover, the squeezing of the scraper increases the blockage, resulting in poor cleaning effect on the filter screen. Therefore, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a metal processing center.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A metal processing center includes a protective chamber, inside which a machining center body is installed. A liquid collection tank is fixed to the bottom surface of the machining center body, and the liquid collection tank corresponds to the machining table of the machining center body. A filter assembly for filtering cutting fluid is provided on the top surface of the liquid collection tank. The filter assembly includes a filter plate fixed to the top surface of the liquid collection tank. A lifting syringe is provided inside the liquid collection tank below the filter plate. The tip of the lifting syringe is inserted into the filter hole of the filter plate. The diameter of the tip of the lifting syringe is smaller than that of the filter hole of the filter plate. A scraper is provided above the filter plate, and the scraper corresponds to the position of the lifting syringe.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the inside of the liquid collection tank is rotatably connected to a lead screw, the outer wall of the lead screw is threadedly connected to a rotating seat, the lifting syringe is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating seat, a rack is fixed to the rear side of the inside of the liquid collection tank, a gear is fixed to the rear end of the lifting syringe, the gear meshes with the rack, two sliding grooves are opened on the top surface of the filter plate, and the two ends of the scraper pass through the sliding grooves and are fixed to the top surface of the rotating seat.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a drive motor is fixed on the right side of the protective chamber, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixed to the right end of the lead screw.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, waste collection troughs are provided on the top surface of the liquid collection tank near the left and right sides.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a limit rod is fixed inside the protective chamber near the front side, and the rotating seat is slidably disposed on the outer wall of the limit rod.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an L-shaped top cover and an inclined plate are fixedly fixed on the top surface of the filter plate at the sliding groove, and the scraper is slidably arranged between the L-shaped top cover and the inclined plate.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] By setting up a liquid collection tank inside the protective chamber and corresponding to the machining table of the main body of the machining center, the waste liquid generated when the main body of the machining center processes metal workpieces will flow into the liquid collection tank. The waste liquid impurities will be filtered and separated by a filter plate to achieve the recycling and reuse of cutting fluid. By driving the lifting syringe to rotate below the filter plate, the needle tip of the lifting syringe will be inserted into the filter hole of the filter plate to lift the impurities in the filter hole, which will be convenient for the scraper to scrape and clean. This will prevent impurities from getting stuck in the filter hole and being difficult to clean, effectively increasing the cleaning effect of the filter plate and thus ensuring the filtration effect of the filter plate.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-6 A metal processing center includes a protective chamber 1. A machining center body 101 is installed inside the protective chamber 1. A liquid collection tank 102 is fixed to the bottom surface of the machining center body 101, and the liquid collection tank 102 corresponds to the machining table of the machining center body 101. A filter assembly for filtering cutting fluid is provided on the top surface of the liquid collection tank 102. The filter assembly includes a filter plate 2 fixed to the top surface of the liquid collection tank 102. A lifting syringe 201 is located inside the liquid collection tank 102 below the filter plate 2. The tip of the lifting syringe 201 is inserted into the filter hole of the filter plate 2, and the diameter of the tip of the lifting syringe 201 is smaller than the filter hole of the filter plate 2. A scraper 202 is located above the filter plate 2, and the scraper 202 corresponds to the lifting syringe 201.
[0025] Reference Figures 2-6In this embodiment, a lead screw 203 is rotatably connected inside the liquid collection tank 102, and a rotating seat 204 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 203. The lifting syringe 201 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 204. A rack 205 is fixed to the rear side inside the liquid collection tank 102, and a gear 206 is fixed to the rear end of the lifting syringe 201. The gear 206 meshes with the rack 205. Two sliding grooves 207 are opened on the top surface of the filter plate 2. The two ends of the scraper 202 pass through the sliding grooves 207 and are fixed to the top surface of the rotating seat 204. By setting up the liquid collection tank 102, the machining center body 101 continuously sprays cutting fluid to the machining position to cool the workpiece and the cutting tool during machining. The cutting fluid carries metal impurities and flows into the liquid collection tank 102. At this time, the waste liquid is filtered and separated by the filter holes of the filter plate 2, realizing the recycling and reuse of the cutting fluid. Then, the machine is started. The drive motor 208 drives the lead screw 203 to rotate. Under the action of the threaded connection between the lead screw 203 and the outer wall of the rotating seat 204, the rotating seat 204 drives the lifting syringe 201 to move back and forth on the bottom surface of the filter plate 2. Since the rear end of the lifting syringe 201 is fixed with a gear 206, which meshes with the rack 205, the lifting syringe 201 also rotates as it moves with the rotating seat 204. This causes the tip of the lifting syringe 201 to insert into the filter hole of the filter plate 2 and lift up the impurities in the filter hole. Since the scraper 202 is fixed to the rotating seat 204, it moves with the rotating seat 204. This allows the scraper 202 to scrape away the impurities lifted by the filter plate 2 and discharge them into the waste collection tank 3 for centralized collection. This avoids impurities getting stuck in the filter hole and being difficult to clean, effectively increasing the cleaning effect of the filter plate 2 and thus ensuring the filtration effect of the filter plate 2.
[0026] Reference Figures 3-6 In this embodiment, a drive motor 208 is fixed on the right side of the protective chamber 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 208 is fixed to the right end of the lead screw 203. By starting the drive motor 208, the lead screw 203 is rotated, thereby driving the lifting syringe 201 and scraper 202 to clean the filter plate 2, ensuring the filtration effect of the filter plate 2.
[0027] Reference Figures 3-6 In this embodiment, the top surface of the liquid collection tank 102 is provided with waste collection troughs 3 near the left and right sides. By setting the waste collection troughs 3, the waste scraped off by the scraper 202 can be collected in a concentrated manner.
[0028] Reference Figures 3-6 In this embodiment, a limiting rod 4 is fixed inside the protective chamber 1 near the front side. The rotating seat 204 is slidably disposed on the outer wall of the limiting rod 4. The limiting rod 4 can limit and support the rotating seat 204 during its movement.
[0029] Reference Figures 3-6In this embodiment, the top surface of the filter plate 2 is fixed with an L-shaped top cover 5 and an inclined plate 501 at the sliding groove 207. The scraper 202 is slidably disposed between the L-shaped top cover 5 and the inclined plate 501. By setting the L-shaped top cover 5 and the inclined plate 501, the sliding groove 207 can be blocked and protected to prevent waste liquid from flowing from the sliding groove 207 into the collection tank 102.
[0030] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: In use, when it is necessary to process a metal workpiece, the corresponding fixture is installed on the processing table of the machining center body 101, then the metal workpiece is clamped and fixed, and the machining center body 101 is started to process the workpiece. During processing, the machining center body 101 continuously sprays cutting fluid into the processing position in order to cool the workpiece and the cutting tool. The cutting fluid carries metal impurities into the collection tank 102. At this time, the waste liquid is filtered and separated by the filter holes of the filter plate 2, realizing the recycling and reuse of the cutting fluid. Then, the drive motor 208 is started to drive the lead screw 203 to rotate. Under the action of the threaded connection between the lead screw 203 and the outer wall of the rotating seat 204, the rotating seat 204 drives the lifting needle cylinder 201 to move back and forth on the bottom surface of the filter plate 2. Since the rear end of the lifting needle cylinder 201 is fixed with a gear 206, the gear 206 meshes with the rack 205, so that the lifting needle cylinder 201 moves with the rotating seat 204. The rotating mechanism causes the tip of the lifting syringe 201 to insert into the filter holes of the filter plate 2, lifting up impurities inside. Since the scraper 202 is fixed to the rotating seat 204, it moves with the rotating seat 204, allowing the scraper 202 to scrape away the impurities lifted by the filter plate 2 and discharge them into the waste collection tank 3 for centralized collection. This prevents impurities from getting stuck in the filter holes and being difficult to clean, effectively increasing the cleaning effect of the filter plate 2 and ensuring the filtration effect of the filter plate 2. The drive motor 208 is activated to drive the lead screw. Rotation 203 drives the lifting syringe 201 and scraper 202 to clean the filter plate 2, ensuring the filtration effect of the filter plate 2. By setting the waste collection trough 3, the waste scraped off by the scraper 202 can be collected in a concentrated manner. By setting the limiting rod 4, the rotating seat 204 can be limited and supported during movement. By setting the L-shaped top cover 5 and the inclined plate 501, the sliding groove 207 can be blocked and protected to prevent waste liquid from flowing from the sliding groove 207 into the collection tank 102.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
