[0027] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a chip removal device for a fixed beam gantry machining center, including a machine body 1, a machining table 2 fixedly installed on the machine body 1, a first drive motor 4 fixedly installed on the machine body 1, a first lead screw 5 fixedly installed on the output end of the first drive motor 4, a movable frame 6 connected to the machine body 1 threadedly installed on the first lead screw 5, and a workpiece 3 placed on the machining table 2.

[0029] In this embodiment of the utility model, the movable frame 6 is connected to the processing equipment on the machine body 1. The operator uses a handling device to transport the workpiece 3 to the processing table 2. By controlling the operation of the machine body 1 and the first drive motor 4, the output end of the first drive motor 4 rotates, which drives the first lead screw 5 to rotate. The first lead screw 5 uses the thread action to drive the movable frame 6 to move, so that the movable frame 6 drives the processing equipment of the machine body 1 to a suitable position. The operator uses the processing equipment of the machine body 1 to process the workpiece 3.

[0030] Figures 1 to 5As shown, a collection mechanism is provided on the body 1. The collection mechanism includes a bottom shell 7 fixedly installed on the body 1, a fixed rod 8 fixedly installed on the bottom shell 7, a rotating sleeve 9 rotatably installed on the fixed rod 8, and a movable plate 10 adapted to the inner wall of the bottom shell 7 fixedly installed on the rotating sleeve 9. The collection mechanism is provided with a triggering mechanism, which includes two guide rail frames 11 fixedly installed on the bottom shell 7. Two sets of support components are fixedly installed on the bottom shell 7. Each support component has a round block 17 adapted to the guide rail frame 11. An abutment block 18 that abuts against the movable plate 10 is fixedly installed on the round block 17. The support component includes a groove plate 12 fixedly installed on the bottom shell 7, and a slider 13 slidably installed on the groove plate 12. The support component also includes... The system includes a circular sleeve 14 fixedly mounted on the slider 13, a spring 15 connected to the inner wall of the circular sleeve 14, a telescopic rod 16 adapted to the circular sleeve 14 connected to the end of the spring 15, and the telescopic rod 16 fixed to the circular block 17. Two movable plates 19 adapted to the abutment block 18 are fixedly mounted on the movable frame 6. A cleaning mechanism is provided on the machine body 1. The cleaning mechanism includes a second drive motor 20 fixedly mounted on the machine body 1. A second lead screw 21 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the second drive motor 20. A threaded block 22 is threadedly mounted on the second lead screw 21. A push plate 23 is fixedly mounted on the threaded block 22. A side block 24 is fixedly mounted on the push plate 23. A support rod 25 adapted to the side block 24 is fixedly mounted on the machine body 1.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the operator controls the second drive motor 20 to operate, causing the output end of the second drive motor 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the second lead screw 21 to rotate. The second lead screw 21, through the threaded action, drives the push plate 23 to move via the threaded block 22. The push plate 23 then drives the side block 24 to move along the support rod 25, causing the push plate 23 to move in contact with the processing table 2, pushing the waste on the processing table 2 so that the waste falls through the gaps in the processing table 2 onto the movable plate 10. This is achieved by controlling the first drive motor 4... The operation causes the movable frame 6 to move the movable plate 19, which in turn moves the abutment plate. Guided by the guide rail frame 11, the abutment plate abuts against the movable plate 10. The circular block 17 moves the telescopic rod 16 into the inner side of the circular sleeve 14. The circular block 17, through the telescopic rod 16 and the circular sleeve 14, moves the slider 13 along the inner side of the groove plate 12. This causes the movable plate 10 to rotate the rotating sleeve 9 around the fixed rod 8, causing the waste on the movable plate 10 to fall into the inner side of the collection shell 26, thus facilitating the quick cleaning and collection of waste.

[0032] The output of the first drive motor 4 is reversed, so that the spring 15 can use its own elastic force to drive the telescopic rod 16 to move out of the inner side of the sleeve 14. The telescopic rod 16 drives the round block 17 to move upward under the guidance of the guide frame 11, so that the slider 13 moves and resets along the inner side of the slot plate 12, so that the abutment block 18 no longer abuts the movable plate 10, and the rotating plate rotates and resets.

[0033] Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a collection shell 26 is placed inside the bottom shell 7, a fixing block 27 is fixedly installed on the bottom shell 7, a positioning bolt 28 is movably installed on the fixing block 27, and a positioning block 29 that is threadedly connected to the positioning bolt 28 is fixedly installed on the collection shell 26.

[0034] In this embodiment of the utility model, the worker unscrews the positioning bolt 28 out of the inner side of the positioning block 29, so that the positioning bolt 28 is no longer fixed to the collection shell 26, and the worker pulls the collection shell 26 out of the inner side of the bottom shell 7, so as to facilitate the processing of the waste collected in the collection shell 26.

[0035] The processed collection shell 26 is moved back into the inside of the bottom shell 7, and the positioning bolt 28 is screwed into the inside of the positioning block 29 to fix the collection shell 26.

[0036] Working principle: The operator moves the workpiece 3 onto the processing table 2 using the handling device. By controlling the machine body 1 and the first drive motor 4, the output end of the first drive motor 4 rotates, which drives the first lead screw 5 to rotate. The first lead screw 5 uses the thread action to drive the moving frame 6 to move. The moving frame 6 moves the processing equipment of the machine body 1 to a suitable position. The operator then controls the processing equipment of the machine body 1 to process the workpiece 3.

[0037] By controlling the second drive motor 20 to operate, the push plate 23 moves against the processing table 2, pushing the waste on the processing table 2 so that the waste falls through the gap of the processing table 2 onto the movable plate 10. By controlling the first drive motor 4 to operate, the movable plate 19 moves the abutment plate, so that the abutment plate abuts the movable plate 10 downward under the guidance of the guide frame 11, causing the movable plate 10 to flip and the waste on the movable plate 10 to fall into the inside of the collection shell 26. The operator unscrews the positioning bolt 28 out of the inside of the positioning block 29, so that the positioning bolt 28 is no longer fixed to the collection shell 26. The operator pulls the collection shell 26 out of the inside of the bottom shell 7 and periodically processes the waste collected in the collection shell 26.

[0038] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
