[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2, Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cleaning device for a CNC machining center, including a body 1, a horizontal plate 11 fixedly connected to the back of the body 1, a cleaning component on the top of the horizontal plate 11, the cleaning component including a cleaning box 21 fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 11, an exhaust pipe 22 fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning box 21, a fan 23 fixedly connected to one end of the exhaust pipe 22, a filter plate 24 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning box 21, an air inlet pipe 25 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the cleaning box 21, and an air inlet pipe 26 fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe 27. 5. An air inlet hood 26 and a discharge component for discharging and cleaning the debris box 21 are fixedly connected at one end. The air inlet pipe 25 passes through the machine body 1 and extends into the machine body 1. The blower 23 generates suction, which can draw the processing debris into the air inlet pipe 25 through the air inlet hood 26, and then into the cleaning box 21. The debris can be filtered by the filter plate 24 in the cleaning box 21 to prevent debris from entering the blower 23 and affecting its normal operation. The debris can be collected quickly without manual collection. A lifting groove 41 is provided on one side of the cleaning box 21, and a lifting block 42 is slidably connected in the lifting groove 41. A screw 43 is provided on one side of the top of the cleaning box 21, and a motor 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw 43. A brush 45 is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting block 42. The screw 43 is screwed to the lifting block 42 and is rotatably connected to the cleaning box 21. When the motor 44 is started, it can drive the screw 43 to rotate. The screw 43 can control the vertical movement of the lifting block 42. The vertical movement of the lifting block 42 can drive the brush 45 to move. The brush 45 can clean the cleaning box 21. Cleaning and unblocking the filter plate 24 can prevent it from becoming clogged and affecting the debris removal efficiency, thereby ensuring airflow and filtration performance. A guide groove 51 is provided on the side of the cleaning box 21 away from the lifting groove 41. A guide block 52 is slidably connected in the guide groove 51. The guide block 52 is fixedly connected to the brush 45. The movement of the brush 45 can drive the guide block 52 to move. The guide block 52 can prevent the brush 45 from tilting when moving vertically, ensuring the stability of the vertical movement of the brush 45.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4The discharge component includes an opening 31 on one side of the cleaning box 21, a closing plate 32 inside the opening 31, a connecting rod 33 fixedly connected to one side of the closing plate 32, a discharge plate 34 fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 33, an iron sheet 35 fixedly connected to one side of the closing plate 32, and a magnet 36 fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning box 21. The closing plate 32 is inserted into the opening 31, and the magnet 36 can attract the iron sheet 35, thereby connecting and fixing the closing plate 32 to the cleaning box 21. The closing plate 32 can close the opening 31, facilitating the adsorption and cleaning of debris. When the closing plate 32 is removed, it can move the connecting rod 33 and the discharge plate 34, which can discharge the accumulated debris from the cleaning box 21, assisting in the discharge of debris and accelerating the discharge efficiency. A pull handle 71 is fixedly connected to one side of the closed plate 32. The pull handle 71 is T-shaped and can easily move the closed plate 32, making it easy to disassemble and assemble the closed plate 32 and clean the debris inside the cleaning box 21. A positioning groove 61 is provided at the top of the opening 31. A positioning block 62 is fixedly connected to the top of the closed plate 32. The positioning block 62 is inserted into the positioning groove 61 and can be inserted into the positioning groove 61 to limit the movement distance of the closed plate 32, ensuring that the iron sheet 35 can contact and attract the magnet 36 to fix the closed plate 32. The positioning groove 61 is T-shaped and the positioning block 62 is T-shaped, which can vertically limit the positioning block 62 and prevent the positioning block 62 from vertically detaching from the positioning groove 61.

[0028] Working principle: During operation, the blower 23 is started, generating suction that draws processing debris into the intake hood 26, then into the intake pipe 25, and finally into the cleaning box 21. The debris is filtered by the filter plate 24 in the filter box, preventing it from entering the blower 23 and causing damage. Simultaneously, the motor 44 starts, driving the screw 43 to rotate. This rotation causes the lifting block 42 to move downwards, which in turn moves the brush 45 downwards. The brush 45 cleans the filter plate 24, removing debris and ensuring its filtration performance. Reversing the motor 44 causes the brush 45 to move upwards, thus cleaning the filter plate 24 repeatedly. When it is necessary to clean the debris in the cleaning box 21, the pull handle 71 can be pulled to move the closing plate 32 away from the opening 31. The closing plate 32 can move the connecting rod 33, and the movement of the connecting rod 33 can move the discharge plate 34. The movement of the discharge plate 34 can move the debris in front of the filter plate 24 and discharge it out of the cleaning box 21. Then the remaining debris can be cleaned out of the cleaning box 21. Then the positioning block 62 is aligned with the positioning groove 61 and inserted into the positioning groove 61. At this time, the closing plate 32 is inserted into the opening 31, and the iron sheet 35 and the magnet 36 attract each other, which can fix the closing plate 32. The above is the working process of the whole device. All contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0029] 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.
