Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheel machining technology, specifically a lathe aluminum chip cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of aluminum alloy wheels, wheel machining is performed using a vertical lathe. After turning, aluminum shavings remain on the fixture's positioning surface. Before the next machining operation, the positioning surface needs to be cleaned thoroughly. Currently, after wheel turning, the aluminum shavings on the positioning surface are cleaned by rinsing with an emulsion. To prevent splashing, emulsion rinsing requires the door to be closed, which is time-consuming and may not be completely effective, leading to positioning deviations. Therefore, a more efficient and thorough method is needed to remove aluminum shavings from the fixture. Utility Model Content

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 7 The lathe aluminum chip cleaning device of this utility model is described in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] A lathe aluminum chip cleaning device includes a brush 1, a tool holder 2, and a tool clip 3.
[0026] The tool holder 3 is mounted on the turret 4, the tool shank 2 is mounted on the tool holder 3, and the brush 1 is mounted on the tool shank 2. Both the brush 1 and the tool shank 2 have a set of holes, each corresponding to a clamp for a wheel of a specific size. Changing the clamp only requires adjusting the position of the mounting holes on the brush 1.
[0027] In actual use, the brush 1 is installed in the corresponding hole of the tool holder 2 according to the fixture size. After machining one wheel, the lathe automatically starts the aluminum chip removal program. The fixture rotates at a speed of 500 r / min, and the turret 4 moves, causing the brush 1 to move to a suitable position, so that the brush 1 contacts the positioning surface of the fixture 5 for 2 seconds. Then the turret 4 returns to the origin, at which point the positioning surface of the fixture 5 has been cleaned. The new wheel to be machined enters the lathe for machining.
[0028] Example 2

[0030] The large blade holder 8 is mounted on the turret 4, the extension plate 7 is mounted on the large blade holder 8, the bracket 6 is mounted on the extension plate 7, and the brush 1 is mounted on the bracket 6. Both the brush 1 and the bracket 6 have a set of holes, each corresponding to a clamp 5 for a wheel of a specific size. Changing the clamp 5 only requires adjusting the mounting hole position of the brush 1.
[0031] In actual use, the brush 1 is installed in the corresponding hole of the bracket 6 according to the size of the fixture 5. After machining one wheel, the lathe automatically starts the aluminum chip removal program. The fixture 5 rotates at a speed of 500 r / min, and the turret 4 moves, causing the brush 1 to move to a suitable position, so that the brush 1 contacts the positioning surface of the fixture 5 for 2 seconds. Then the turret returns to the origin, at which point the positioning surface of the fixture 5 has been cleaned. The new wheel to be machined enters the lathe for machining.

To accommodate clamps 5 for wheels of different sizes, both the brush 1 and the connecting plate 10 have a set of holes, each corresponding to a clamp 5 for a specific wheel size. Changing the clamp 5 only requires adjusting the mounting hole position of the brush 1.
[0035] In actual use, the brush 1 is installed in the corresponding hole of the connecting plate 10 according to the size of the fixture 5. After machining one wheel, the lathe automatically starts the aluminum chip brushing program. The fixture 5 rotates at a speed of 500 r / min, and the turret 4 moves, driving the brush 1 to a suitable position so that the brush 1 contacts the positioning surface of the fixture 5 for 2 seconds. Then the turret 4 returns to the origin. The new wheel to be machined enters the lathe for machining.
