[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lathe tool feed mechanism, comprising:
[0008] The base has a tool holder on its top.
[0009] The cleaning assembly is mounted on the tool holder and includes an annular tube and a nozzle. There are two sets of annular tubes that are symmetrically distributed, and the nozzles are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the annular tubes.
[0010] Preferably, a motor is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the tool holder, and a worm is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor. The rear end of the worm is rotatably installed on the rear inner wall of the tool holder. Rotating columns are rotatably installed on the inner walls of both sides of the tool holder, and worm wheels are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the rotating columns. The worm wheels are meshed with the worm. The meshing between the worm and the worm wheel will not rotate on its own under certain conditions, thus playing a self-locking role.

This extends the service life of gears and gear plates, avoids wasting time on manual cleaning, makes the processing smoother, reduces downtime, and improves production efficiency. Furthermore, cleaning the working environment reduces chip corrosion of the equipment, decreasing maintenance frequency and wear.
[0014] Preferably, the tool holder, worm gear, and gear are located on the same center line.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This lathe's feed mechanism, through the coordinated use of a ring tube, nozzle, blower, and sleeve, effectively cleans chips, oil, and other impurities generated during machining. This prevents these impurities from adhering to the surfaces of gears and gear plates, thus avoiding their impact on subsequent machining or measurement accuracy and maintaining the stability of machining precision. The synchronous movement of the nozzle ensures timely chip removal, reducing chip accumulation and wear, resulting in tighter meshing between gears and gear plates, smoother operation, and improved efficiency. This extends the service life of gears and gear plates, while avoiding the waste of time spent on manual cleaning, making the machining process smoother, reducing downtime, and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, cleaning the working environment reduces chip corrosion of the equipment, decreasing maintenance frequency and wear. Attached Figure Description

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a lathe tool feed mechanism, including a base 1 and a cleaning component. A tool feed carriage 2 is provided on the top of the base 1, and the cleaning component is provided on the tool feed carriage 2. The cleaning component includes an annular tube 11 and a nozzle 12. There are two sets of annular tubes 11, which are symmetrically distributed. The nozzle 12 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the annular tube 11.
[0024] Furthermore, a motor 3 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the tool holder 2, and a worm gear 4 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 3. The rear end of the worm gear 4 is rotatably installed on the rear inner wall of the tool holder 2. Rotating columns 5 are rotatably installed on the inner walls of both sides of the tool holder 2. A worm wheel 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating column 5. The worm wheel 6 is meshed with the worm gear 4. The meshing between the worm gear 4 and the worm wheel 6 will not rotate on its own under certain conditions, thus playing a self-locking role.
[0025] Furthermore, gears 7 are fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating column 5 through the tool holder 2, and a toothed plate 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, with the toothed plate 8 meshing with the gears 7.
[0026] Furthermore, both sides of the base 1 are provided with sliding grooves 9, and sliding blocks 10 are slidably installed inside the sliding grooves 9. One side of the sliding block 10 is fixedly installed with one side of the tool holder 2 to assist the tool holder 2 in moving.
[0027] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly also includes a blower 13 and a sleeve 14. Through holes are provided on both sides of the tool holder 2, and an annular tube 11 is fixedly installed within these holes.

A blower 13 is fixedly installed to the inner bottom of the tool holder 2, and a connecting pipe is fixedly installed at the output end of the blower 13. The other end of the connecting pipe is fixedly installed to the outer wall of the annular tube 11. The blower 13 draws outside air into the annular tube 11 through the connecting pipe, and then discharges it through a nozzle 12 on the annular tube 11. This allows the nozzle 12 to blow away impurities and dust from the gear 7 and toothed plate 8. The nozzle 12 can... It effectively cleans chips, oil stains, and other impurities generated during processing, preventing these impurities from adhering to the surfaces of gear 7 and gear plate 8, thus preventing them from affecting the accuracy of subsequent processing or measurement and maintaining the stability of processing accuracy. The synchronous movement of the nozzle 12 can clean chips in a timely manner, reducing chip accumulation and wear, making the meshing between gear 7 and gear plate 8 tighter, the operation smoother, and the efficiency improved, thereby extending the service life of gears and gear plates. At the same time, it avoids the waste of time for manual cleaning, making the processing process smoother, reducing downtime, and thus improving production efficiency. In addition, cleaning the working environment can reduce the corrosion of equipment by chips, reducing the frequency of equipment maintenance and wear.
[0028] Secondly, the tool holder 2, worm gear 6, and gear 7 are on the same center line.
[0029] Working principle: When in use, start motor 3, which drives worm 4 to rotate, causing worm 4 to drive worm wheel 6 to rotate, which in turn drives gear 7 on rotating column 5 to rotate, causing gear 7 to mesh and rotate on toothed plate 8, causing tool holder 2 to move on base 1. At the same time, start blower 13, which transmits outside air through connecting pipe to annular pipe 11, and then discharges it through nozzle 12 on annular pipe 11, so that nozzle 12 blows away impurities and dust on gear 7 and toothed plate 8.
