Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a chip removal device for a nut tapping machine, including a housing 100. A mesh cylinder 108 is fixedly fitted at the upper opening of the housing 100. Two guide plates 109 are inclinedly fixedly fitted at the upper opening of the mesh cylinder 108. A first conveyor 106 is inclinedly arranged inside the housing 100. The mesh cylinder 108 is located directly below the highest point of the first conveyor 106.

[0028] Two fixing plates 200 are fixedly fitted to the sides of the housing 100. The fixing plates 200 are elastically and slidably fitted with guide plates 202. The guide plates 202 are elastically and slidably fitted with U-shaped plates 206. The sides of the U-shaped plates 206 are fixedly fitted with threaded rods 213. A scraper 209 is engaged between the two threaded rods 213. The sides of the scraper 209 are attached to the sides of the first conveyor 106.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] First, the device is installed below the tapping machine body. The processed product and the chips fall together on the side of the first conveyor 106, and the chips are conveyed by the first conveyor 106. The chips fall into the mesh cylinder 108 and the guide plate 109 at the highest point of the first conveyor 106. Since the guide plate 109 is inclined, the chips inside the guide plate 109 move to the inside of the mesh cylinder 108 under the action of gravity. The mesh cylinder 108 filters the chips attached to the product surface, thereby completing the chip removal process of the product surface.

[0031] When it is necessary to clean the debris attached to the side surface of the first conveyor 106, first slide the guide plate 202 downward, then pull the U-shaped plate 206. The U-shaped plate 206 drives the threaded rod 213 to move. Then place the scraper 209 between the two threaded rods 213. At this time, the side of the scraper 209 is attached to the side of the first conveyor 106. Then release the U-shaped plate 206. The U-shaped plate 206 returns to its original position under the action of elasticity. The end of the scraper 209 is positioned by the end of the reset threaded rod 213. Then start the first conveyor 106 and clean the debris that is difficult to clean from the surface of the first conveyor 106 through the side of the scraper 209, reducing the problem of debris attached to the surface of the first conveyor 106.

[0032] By having a guide plate 202 slidingly fitted inside the fixed plate 200, the scraper 209 can adhere to the surface of the side of the first conveyor 106, which facilitates the cleaning of hard-to-clean debris from the side of the scraper 209 onto the surface of the first conveyor 106. This allows for the cleaning of hard-to-clean debris, reduces the problem of debris adhering to the surface of the first conveyor 106, and improves the cleaning efficiency and operational adjustability of the debris adhering to the surface of the first conveyor 106.

[0033] By setting the guide plate 202 and U-shaped plate 206 with elastic sliding fit inside the fixed plate 200, the scraper 209 can automatically adjust the contact pressure according to the surface condition of the first conveyor 106. When there is unevenness or debris accumulation on the surface of the first conveyor 106, the guide plate 202 slides along the guide rod 215 under the action of the first spring 205, and the U-shaped plate 206 slides laterally through the second spring 207, ensuring that the scraper 209 is always in close contact with the surface of the first conveyor 106, improving the debris cleaning effect and making the debris cleaning process more convenient.

[0034] like Figure 1-5As shown, in this embodiment, the side of the fixed plate 200 is provided with a first guide groove 201, and the guide plate 202 is slidably fitted inside the first guide groove 201. A guide rod 215 is fixedly fitted inside the first guide groove 201. The side of the guide plate 202 is provided with a guide hole 203, and the guide rod 215 is located inside the guide hole 203. A first spring 205 is fixedly fitted between the inner sidewall of the first guide groove 201 and the side of the guide plate 202. The first spring 205 is sleeved on the periphery of the guide rod 215. The first spring 205 allows the guide plate 202 to slide inside the fixed plate 200, thereby adjusting the position of the scraper 209 and maintaining a certain elastic pressure to ensure stable contact between the scraper 209 and the first conveyor 106. The side of the guide plate 202 is provided with two second guide grooves 204, and the end of the U-shaped plate 206 is slidably fitted inside the second guide grooves 204. A second spring 207 is fixedly fitted between the side of the U-shaped plate 206 and the side of the guide plate 202, allowing the U-shaped plate 206 to be elastically adjusted in the horizontal direction, further optimizing the position of the scraper 209 and adapting to different working conditions or wear conditions. A positioning block 208 is fixedly fitted between the two ends of the U-shaped plate 206. By installing the positioning block 208 between the two ends of the U-shaped plate 206, the problem of the end of the U-shaped plate 206 sliding out of the second guide groove 204 is reduced, and the stability of the U-shaped plate 206 sliding inside the second guide groove 204 is improved. A threaded rod 213 is fixedly fitted to the side of the U-shaped plate 206, and a nut 214 is threadedly fitted to the end of the threaded rod 213. A connecting rod 211 is fixedly fitted to both ends of the scraper 209. A through hole 212 is opened at the end of the connecting rod 211, the threaded rod 213 is located inside the through hole 212, and the nut 214 is located at the end of the connecting rod 211. This makes the installation and removal of scraper 209 more convenient, facilitates maintenance and replacement, and allows for fine adjustment of the angle or pressure of scraper 209.

[0035] like Figure 1-5As shown, in this embodiment, a placement plate 107 is fixedly fitted at the upper opening of the housing 100. The side of the placement plate 107 is provided with a placement hole 110. In order to facilitate the replacement or maintenance of the screen cylinder 108, and at the same time ensure its accurate position and improve the filtration efficiency, the screen cylinder 108 is fixedly fitted inside the placement hole 110. By installing the placement plate 107 on the housing 100, the screen cylinder 108 can be replaced. Therefore, when the mesh cylinder 108 becomes clogged, only the mesh cylinder 108 needs to be replaced, reducing the maintenance cost of the mesh cylinder 108. Two support plates 105 are fixedly fitted inside the housing 100 at an angle. The first conveyor 106 is fixedly fitted between the side walls of the two support plates 105. The support plates 105 are used to fix the first conveyor, enhancing the structural stability of the first conveyor 106 and ensuring reliable operation of the first conveyor 106 in an inclined state. Multiple support rods 101 are fixedly fitted at the bottom of the housing 100, and a base 102 is fixedly fitted between the lower ends of two adjacent support rods 101. An L-shaped channel 103 is opened at the bottom of the housing 100, and a second conveyor 104 is installed inside the L-shaped channel 103. This further processes the debris discharged from the first conveyor 106, improving the efficiency and continuity of the entire chip removal device.
