Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waste recycling devices, specifically a metal waste collection device. Background Technology
[0002] Metal shavings produced by turning and drilling are usually in the form of long, thin, curled filaments. Workers typically use forks to sweep these metal scraps into trolleys for collection. At the same time, waste cooling liquid also enters the trolley along with the metal scraps. Currently, the trolleys are only convenient for collecting and transporting metal scraps, but it is inconvenient to remove them later. Workers need to use forks or shovels to scoop the metal scraps out of the trolleys. Because they are mixed with liquid, the overall weight of the metal scraps is increased, making it difficult to remove. In addition, the waste liquid adhering to the surface of the metal scraps can easily cause liquid leakage, polluting the environment. Utility Model Content

[0029] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model discloses a metal waste collection device, comprising a support plate 1, a collection box 8, and a drainage structure. There are two support plates 1 arranged in parallel. Connecting frames 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the two support plates 1. Wheels 15 are installed on both sides of the lower surface of the support plates 1. The collection box 8 is rotatably connected between the two connecting frames 2. The front and back of the inner wall of the collection box 8 are inclined towards the center of the collection box 8. Connecting discs 9 are fixedly connected to the center of the left and right sides of the collection box 8. A limiting groove is opened on the side of one of the connecting discs 9. A locking structure is provided on the connecting frame 2 near the limiting groove. The locking structure is movably inserted into the inside of the limiting groove. The drainage structure is located on the front of the collection box 8 near the bottom.
[0030] The overall structural design of this utility model achieves the separation of metal waste and liquid through a rotatable collection box 8, with inclined inner walls on both sides promoting waste concentration, connecting frame 2 and support plate 1 providing stable load-bearing capacity, locking structure ensuring operational safety, and rotating mechanism cooperating with drainage structure to meet the high-efficiency separation requirements of metal shavings and coolant mixtures in industrial scenarios.
[0031] In some other embodiments, a bearing 3 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the connecting frame 2, and a rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the center of the connecting plate 9. The two rotating shafts 10 are installed in the inner rings of the two bearings 3. The bearings 3 and the rotating shafts 10 combine to form a low-friction rotating pair, which reduces the rotational resistance of the collection box 8, extends the service life of the device, and ensures that the rotation process is stable and reliable, making it easy to dump waste materials with one hand.
[0032] In this embodiment, the locking structure includes an internal threaded sleeve 4 and a screw 5.

The screw 5 is rotatably connected to the inside of the threaded sleeve. A plug 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 5 near the limiting groove.
[0033] The above technical solution enables the locking structure to achieve mechanical self-locking through threaded transmission. The locking force is adjusted by the screw depth of the screw 5, which not only ensures the reliable fixing of the collection box 8 at different angles, but also has anti-vibration and anti-loosening characteristics, adapting to the complex working conditions of the workshop.
[0034] In some other embodiments, a handle 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the screw 5. The diameter of the handle 6 is larger than the diameter of the screw 5, and the diameter of the plug 7 is smaller than the diameter of the screw 5. The large-diameter handle 6 provides a lever-saving effect, and the small-diameter plug is adapted to the size of the limiting groove, which also makes it easy to install the locking structure into the internal thread sleeve 4. The dual-diameter design takes into account both the ease of operation and the locking accuracy, which is in line with the ergonomic principle.
[0035] In this embodiment, the limiting groove includes a first slot 11 and a second slot 12. The first slot 11 is located on the outside of the connecting plate 9 and near the bottom, and the second slot 12 is located on the outside of the connecting plate 9 and near the side of the drainage structure.
[0036] The first slot 11 and the second slot 12 are designed to correspond to the two working conditions of horizontal storage and inclined discharge of the collection box 8. When the plug 7 is inserted into the first slot 11, it is in the horizontal storage state, and when the plug 7 is inserted into the second slot 12, it is in the discharge state. The position switching realizes multi-functional positioning and meets the needs of fixing the collection box 8 in different operation stages.
[0037] In this embodiment, the drainage structure includes a drain pipe 1401 and a faucet 14. The drain pipe 1401 is fixedly connected to the front of the collection box 8 and communicates with the inside of the collection box 8. The faucet 14 is installed at one end of the drain pipe 1401 that extends to the outside of the collection box 8. A mesh plate 13 is movably inserted into the bottom of the collection box 8 on the side near the drain pipe 1401. The mesh plate 13 is inclined toward the center of the collection box 8.
[0038] The detachable perforated plate 13 and the design of the inclined angle of the perforated plate 13 can promote liquid flow, prevent metal debris from clogging the drain outlet, and facilitate removal and cleaning without affecting the main structure during maintenance and cleaning.
[0039] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
