Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical device technology, and in particular to a chain-type machine tool chip removal device for preventing jamming. Background Technology
[0002] During the machining process of parts in mechanical manufacturing, waste chips are generated. In order to facilitate the cleaning of the waste chips, chip conveyors are used in conjunction with CNC machine tools to efficiently handle the iron chips.
[0003] When using existing chip conveyors to collect and process iron filings generated during parts machining, the process involves first properly placing the chip conveyor, which is then matched with the machine tool. As the machine tool runs, the motion motor is started synchronously, driving the chain. Through the combination of sprockets and chain plates, the chain plates begin to work, collecting the iron filings. These filings are then carried by the chain plates to the chip conveyor's discharge port, where they are finally collected by the collection box below the discharge port. To prevent chain jamming and damage to the equipment, existing chip conveyors typically include an infrared sensor at the sprocket position. The probe utilizes infrared technology to monitor abnormal temperature changes and protects the chip conveyor. When the chain and sprocket jam, the increased friction between the chain and sprocket generates instantaneous high temperatures. The infrared temperature probe collects the surface temperature in real time, detects the jamming, and cuts off the motor power to protect the motor and prevent excessive damage to the equipment. However, in actual use, it has been found that the chip conveyor handles a lot of strip-shaped waste chips. The presence of these chips increases the risk of jamming in the sprocket gaps, causing the chip conveyor to malfunction frequently, reducing its practicality and increasing operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0035] Working principle: When using the chip conveyor 1 to collect and process the iron filings generated during parts processing, the chip conveyor 1, which is matched with the machine tool, is first properly placed. Then, when the machine tool is running, the motion motor 3 is started synchronously, thereby driving the chain body 4. Through the combination of the sprocket 5 and the chain plate 2, the chain plate 2 starts to work. At this time, the chain plate 2 will receive the iron filings generated during processing.

At this time, when the chip conveyor 1 is in use, it can ensure the normal operation of the chain plate 2, and it is not easy for iron filings wire to get stuck in the gap, which would cause the equipment to jam, overheat or even be damaged. This ensures the normal use of the chip conveyor 1, better handles iron filings, and extends the service life of the equipment.

Then, the bolts 84 pass through the surface of the fixing frame 83, so that the bolts 84 and the fixing blocks 82 form a threaded connection, which makes the position of the protective cover 81 stable. At this time, when the auxiliary device 7 is in operation, it can ensure that the guide rod is not easy to come into contact with or collide with external objects, which would cause damage to the components. This allows for better handling of the iron filings hooked in the gap of the chain plate 2, thus improving the effectiveness of the auxiliary device 7.
