[0002] A machining center is a high-precision, high-efficiency CNC machine tool that integrates multiple machining functions such as milling, drilling, and tapping, achieving automated operation through a CNC system. Its core features include an automatic tool changer (ATC) and tool magazine, enabling multiple machining operations to be completed in a single setup; a multi-axis linkage system (such as three-axis or five-axis) to support precision machining of complex curved surfaces; and integrated auxiliary systems such as coolant spraying and chip removal mechanisms to ensure a clean and efficient machining process. Widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and mold manufacturing industries, it significantly improves production efficiency and machining accuracy, and is one of the core pieces of equipment in modern intelligent manufacturing.

[0003] The chip removal mechanism of the machining center automatically removes chips using high-pressure liquid or airflow, reducing the frequency of manual downtime for cleaning and ensuring uninterrupted operation of the machining process. However, conventional chip removal structures wash away chips along with the flow water, making them unusable and resulting in low resource utilization. Therefore, we propose a chip removal mechanism for machining centers. Summary of the Invention

The machining center body includes a machining center body, a side inlet is fixedly connected to one side of the machining center body, the position of the side inlet matches the position of the chip flushing assemblies, a filter assembly is provided on the inner wall of each chip flushing assembly, and a water treatment port is provided between the chip flushing assemblies, the position of the water treatment port matching the position of each chip flushing assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the chip removal assembly includes a guide platform, a reinforcing block, a water trough, and a chip buffer block. The multiple guide platforms are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the machining center body, and the reinforcing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the guide platform.

[0008] Preferably, the water trough is located on the top of the guide platform, and a plurality of debris buffer blocks are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water trough, with the debris buffer blocks being evenly distributed on the inner wall of the water trough.

[0009] Preferably, the filter assembly includes a rotating base, a rotating roller, a cleaning plate, a connecting block, a debris brush, a connecting frame, and a debris filter screen. The rotating base is fixedly connected to both sides of one end of the water trough, the rotating roller is rotatably connected between the rotating bases, a plurality of cleaning plates are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating roller, a plurality of connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning plates, and the debris brush is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting frame is fixedly connected to one end of the inner wall of the water tank, the debris filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame, and the position of the debris filter screen matches the size of the debris brush.

[0011] Preferably, an opening and closing door is fixedly connected to the surface of the machining center body, and the position of the opening and closing door matches that of the machining center body.

[0012] Preferably, a hook is fixedly connected to one side of the chip-removing assembly.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The chip flushing component can use its own structure to flush the chips generated by the machining center body, preventing the chips from staying inside the device and causing damage. At the same time, it is combined with the filter component, and the linkage of the filter component and the water pressure generated by the water flow will filter the chips on the surface of the chip flushing component and inside the filter component. The water that can be reused will flow out and be stored, thereby improving the overall functionality and environmental protection of the device.

[0015] 2. The interaction between the chip flushing component and the filter component helps purify water for reuse. The guide platform's slope structure guides the flushing water, while the reinforcement block reinforces the inside of the guide platform. The water trough helps guide the water flow, flushing away debris together with the chip buffer block. As the water flows through the filter component, it separates the debris from the water. The filter component's structure also prevents debris from clogging the filter screen during use, maintaining the overall performance of the device and extending its service life.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-5. The technical solution provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0027] A chip flushing mechanism in a machining center includes: chip flushing components 4, and a machining center body 1 fixedly connected to the surface of multiple chip flushing components 4. The machining center body 1 includes a side inlet 2 fixedly connected to one side of the machining center body 1, the position of the side inlet 2 matching the position of the chip flushing components 4. A filter component 5 is provided on the inner wall of the chip flushing components 4. A water treatment port 6 is provided between the chip flushing components 4, the position of the water treatment port 6 matching the position of the chip flushing components 4. An opening / closing door 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of the machining center body 1, the position of the opening / closing door 3 matching the position of the machining center body 1. A hook 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the chip flushing components 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, the chip flushing assembly 4 and the filter assembly 5 can work together to guide and filter the chips generated during the machining process of the machining center body 1, separating the water flow from the chips. The water flow can be collected through the water treatment port 6 for subsequent use, while the chips can be placed. When needed, the user can open the opening and closing door 3 for cleaning. The side inlet 2 can help provide water flow for the chip flushing assembly 4. The hook 7 can be used to suspend or fix the high-pressure pipes, nozzles or hoses of the chip flushing mechanism to prevent them from shifting, sagging or tangling due to vibration or liquid pressure during machine tool operation.

[0029] The chip removal assembly 4 includes a guide platform 401, a reinforcing block 402, a water flow channel 403, and a chip buffer block 404. Multiple guide platforms 401 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the machining center body 1, and the reinforcing block 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the guide platform 401.

[0030] In this embodiment, the chip flushing assembly 4 uses the trapezoidal structure of the guide platform 401 to help guide the water and debris out, while the reinforcing block 402 can help reinforce the guide platform 401 as a whole, thereby further improving the functionality and safety of the device.

[0031] A flow channel 403 is formed on the top of the guide platform 401, and multiple debris buffer blocks 404 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flow channel 403. The debris buffer blocks 404 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the flow channel 403.

[0032] In this embodiment, the water flow channel 403 can help collect and guide the water flow and debris, while the debris buffer block 404 can slow down the flow rate when water and debris pass through at the same time, preventing the flow rate from being too fast and causing some debris to be directly washed out when passing through the filter component 5, thus affecting the use effect of the filter component 5, thereby further improving the safety of the device.

[0033] The filter assembly 5 includes a rotating base 501, a rotating roller 502, a cleaning plate 503, a connecting block 504, a debris brush 505, a connecting frame 506, and a debris filter screen 507. The rotating base 501 is fixedly connected to both sides of one end of the water tank 403. The rotating roller 502 is rotatably connected between the rotating bases 501. Multiple cleaning plates 503 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating roller 502. Multiple connecting blocks 504 are all fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning plates 503. The debris brush 505 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 504.

[0034] In this embodiment, the filter assembly 5 uses the rotating base 501 to help the rotating roller 502 rotate. At the same time, the water pressure of the flowing water will drive the rotating roller 502 to rotate, thereby driving the cleaning plate 503 and the connecting block 504 to rotate. Meanwhile, the rotation of the connecting block 504 will drive the debris brush 505 to rotate, thereby preventing debris from sticking to the debris filter screen 507 for a long time and causing blockage, and further improving the safety of the device.

[0035] The connecting frame 506 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner wall of the water tank 403, and the debris filter screen 507 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 506. The position of the debris filter screen 507 matches the size of the debris brush 505.

[0036] In this embodiment, the connecting frame 506 and the debris filter screen 507 can filter the debris carried by the water during the flushing process. The debris will be attached and collected by the debris filter screen 507. At this time, the water without debris can be reused, which will not cause resource waste and improve the environmental protection of the device.

[0037] Working principle: This equipment uses the machining center body 1 and side inlet 2 to process materials. The opening and closing door 3 allows users to open the device at any time for maintenance or cleaning, thereby further improving the functionality of the device. The chip flushing component 4 can use its own structure to flush the chips generated by the machining center body 1, preventing chips from remaining inside the device and causing damage. At the same time, it is combined with the filter component 5. The linkage of the filter component 5 and the water pressure generated by the water flow will filter the chips on the surface and inside of the chip flushing component 4. The water that can be reused will flow out and be stored, thereby improving the overall functionality and environmental protection of the device. The water will flow out through the water treatment port 6, and the hook 7 can be used to suspend or fix the high-pressure pipes, nozzles or hoses of the chip flushing component 4 to prevent them from shifting, sagging or tangling due to vibration or liquid pressure during machine operation.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
