Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of key blank processing equipment, and in particular to a key blank processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A key blank is a semi-finished metal product used to make keys. It is usually made of copper, aluminum or steel and has the basic outline of a key but without the teeth cut. The key blank is the basis for copying or making new keys. After the teeth are processed by special equipment, it can be made to have the same function as the original key. The key blank milling machine is one of the key blank processing equipment, mainly used to mill grooves on the key blank.
[0003] During the key blank processing using a key blank milling machine, some metal chips generated during milling may remain in the positioning area of the fixture. If these chips are not cleaned in time or not cleaned completely, the key blank placed later will not be able to fit completely against the fixture, thus being in a tilted state. This deviation will directly affect the milling accuracy and reduce the quality of the produced keys. Utility Model Content

The connecting block 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamp 2, and the T-shaped sleeve 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 31. The strip box 33 is movably fitted into the inner cavity of the T-shaped sleeve 32. The two limiting grooves are symmetrically opened at the top and bottom of the inner wall of the T-shaped sleeve 32. The two limiting sliders 36 are slidably fitted into the inner cavities of the corresponding limiting grooves. The two limiting sliders 36 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the strip box 33. The limiting grooves and limiting sliders 36 are used to limit the movement trajectory of the strip box 33 and prevent the strip box 33 from moving. 3. The T-shaped sleeve 32 is detached, and the air outlet is opened on one side of the strip box 33. The air outlet can be partially covered by adjusting the position of the strip box 33, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the blowing range. The blower 34 is fixedly installed on the back of the milling machine body 1. One end of the air supply hose 35 is fixedly connected to the output end of the blower 34. The length of the air supply hose 35 must be sufficient for the normal movement of the clamp 2. The adjustment component is set on the other side of the strip box 33. The adjustment component is used to adjust the position of the strip box 33. The connecting component is set between the strip box 33 and the air supply hose 35.

The switch button 314 is a point contact switch.
[0049] Working principle of this utility model:
[0050] After the key blank is milled using a milling machine, the fixture 2 is moved out of the processing area and the processed key blank is removed. Then, the fixture 2 is moved until it gently strikes the switch button 314. The struck switch button 314 will control the blower 34 to turn on. At this time, the blower 34 will pump the gas through the air supply hose 35 into the strip box 33 and finally discharge it from the air outlet. The gas discharged from the air outlet will blow away the debris remaining in the positioning area of the fixture 2. At this time, a new key blank can be placed and positioned for milling. This avoids the situation where the key blank cannot fit the fixture 2 due to metal debris, ensuring the accuracy of the milling work and the quality of the produced keys.
