Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chip removal technology for CNC equipment, and in particular to an intelligent chip removal device suitable for CNC equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Intelligent chip removal devices for CNC equipment are specially designed to automatically clean up cutting chips and waste generated during CNC machining.

Intelligent chip removal devices reduce manual intervention, improve chip removal efficiency, and prevent the accumulation of metal chips from causing a decrease in machining accuracy or machine tool failure.
[0003] Chip removal devices are used to collect and transport chips generated during machine tool processing. During CNC machine tool processing, the cutting tool comes into contact with the workpiece, generating chips. The chip collection trough guides the chips generated on the worktable into the trough. The chip removal device then transports the collected chips from the processing area to the outside through a series of conveying systems. The cleaned-out chips are then transported through the chip removal device to the chip collection box and a dedicated chip storage area. The collected chips can be recycled and reused.
[0004] In the prior art, CNC equipment generates chips of different sizes during the machining process of workpieces. CNC chip removal devices are then used to collect the chips. However, some chip removal devices cannot separate the chips according to their size, making it inconvenient to further classify and recycle the chips. Therefore, an intelligent chip removal device suitable for CNC equipment is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] 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.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an intelligent chip removal device suitable for CNC equipment, comprising a support 1, which is the basic support structure of the entire intelligent chip removal device. A separation box 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support 1. The separation box 2 is a box structure made of metal material, used for separating chips. An annular plate 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the separation box 2, serving as a support and positioning element, providing support points for the round rod 4 and spring 7, ensuring their stable operation. A round rod 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the annular plate 3, serving as a guide component for the movement of the screen plate 6. The outer wall of the round rod 4 is smooth, ensuring the screen plate 6 can move smoothly. The screen plate 6 can slide smoothly up and down on the round rod 4. The top of the round rod 4 is fixedly connected to the limit block 5. The limit block 5 restricts the extreme position of the upward movement of the screen plate 6. The screen plate 6 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the round rod 4. The screen plate 6 is the key component for realizing debris separation. The screen plate 6 can effectively screen out debris of different sizes, separating small debris through the screen holes, while larger debris remains on the screen plate 6. The outside of the screen plate 6 is slidably connected to the inside of the separation box 2. The top of the annular plate 3 is fixedly connected to the spring 7. When the screen plate 6 moves up and down, the spring 7 will compress and extend accordingly, providing a restoring force for the screen plate 6, so that the screen plate 6 can vibrate within a certain frequency and amplitude.
[0033] Spring 7 is sleeved on the outer wall of round rod 4. The top of spring 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of sieve plate 6. A drive assembly providing rotational force is fixedly connected to the front of the separation box 2. A fine debris outlet 12 is fixedly connected to the front of the inside of the separation box 2. Fine debris after being screened by sieve plate 6 can smoothly pass through this outlet and be discharged from the separation box 2. A sliding hopper 26 is fixedly connected to the outside of the separation box 2. The inner wall of the sliding hopper is smooth, which can reduce the friction of debris during the sliding process and ensure that the debris can slide down quickly and smoothly. A trolley is provided at the bottom of 26 for collecting debris. The drive assembly includes a bracket 8 for the motor. 9 provides support and fixation. The outer side of the bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the separation box 2. The top of the bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the motor 9, which is the power source of the drive assembly and can provide a stable rotational force to the rotating rod 10. The drive end of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 10, which is the component that transmits power. The outer side of the rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected to the inside of the separation box 2. The outer wall of the rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the elliptical wheel 11. The special shape of the elliptical wheel 11 allows it to periodically contact and separate from the screen plate 6 during rotation, thereby driving the screen plate 6 to move up and down.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4A base 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the support 1. The base 13 is a structure used to install and support the rotating wheel 14. The rotating wheel 14 is rotatably connected inside the base 13. The rotating wheel 14 is a key component for realizing the transmission of the track 16, ensuring good cooperation with the track 16 to achieve stable transmission. A second motor 15 is fixedly connected to the front of the base 13. The second motor 15 is the power source for driving the rotating wheel 14 to rotate, and can provide sufficient power to the rotating wheel 14. The drive end of the second motor 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating wheel 14. The external coupling connection of 4 is a track 16, the function of which is to transport debris from one end of the device to the other for subsequent processing. The two sides of the track 16 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the base 13. The top of the base 13 is fixedly connected to a funnel 17 to ensure that the debris can accurately enter the conveying area of the track 16 and avoid the debris from scattering. The top of the base 13 is fixedly connected to a gantry 18, the function of which is to provide an installation and support platform for the cylinder 19 and the sliding block 20. The top side of the gantry 18 is provided with a sliding groove.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A cylinder 19 is connected to the top of the gantry 18. The cylinder 19 drives the sliding block 20 to slide between the limiting strips 21 on the top of the gantry 18 through telescopic movement. The driving end of the cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 20. The sliding block 20 can move linearly along the direction of the limiting strips 21. Two limiting strips 21 are fixedly connected to the top of the gantry 18. The two limiting strips 21 are set in parallel to provide a sliding track for the sliding block 20 and restrict the movement direction of the sliding block 20, ensuring that the sliding block 20 can only move in a limited linear direction. The external sliding connection of the sliding block 20 is between the two limiting strips 21. A connecting rod 22 is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding block 20. The function of the connecting rod 22 is to drive the connecting block 23 and the sliding plate 24 to move. The bottom of the connecting rod 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 23, which is the component connecting the connecting rod 22 and the sliding plate 24, and plays the role of connection and transmission. The sliding plate 24 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting block 23. The sliding plate 24 can slide in the groove inside the gantry 18. The outer side of the sliding plate 24 is slidably connected to the groove inside the gantry 18. The bottom of the sliding plate 24 is fixedly connected to the scraper 25. The scraper 25 can scrape the debris near the inner wall of the base 13 to the middle of the track 16. The bottom of the scraper 25 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the track 16.
[0036] Working principle: When motor 15 is started, it drives track 16 to move through wheel 14. Debris falls from hopper 17 onto track 16, and track 16 transports the debris. When cylinder 19 is started, it can push sliding block 20 to slide between two limit bars 21. Limit bars 21 can restrict the movement trajectory of sliding block 20. Sliding block 20 is connected to connecting rod 22 through shaft, and connecting rod 22 is connected to connecting block 23 through shaft. Thus, sliding block 20 can drive connecting block 23 to move through connecting rod 22. Connecting block 23 can drive sliding plate 24 to slide in the groove inside mast 18. Sliding plate 24 can drive scraper 25 to scrape the surface of track 16. Scraper 25 can scrape the debris near the inner wall of base 13 to the middle of track 16.
[0037] Motor 9 on bracket 8 starts, and motor 9 drives elliptical wheel 11 to rotate via rotating rod 10. Screen plate 6 slides on the outer wall of round rod 4, which is fixed on annular plate 3. Spring 7 is sleeved on the outer wall of round rod 4. The special shape of elliptical wheel 11 allows it to periodically contact and separate from screen plate 6 during rotation, thereby pushing screen plate 6 up and down. Limiting block 5 can limit the range of motion of screen plate 6. When screen plate 6 moves up and down, spring 7 will compress and extend accordingly, providing restoring force to screen plate 6, so that screen plate 6 can vibrate within a certain frequency and amplitude, thereby achieving the separation of debris. Fine debris will enter the bottom of separation box 2 through screen plate 6 and then be discharged from fine debris outlet 12. The screened debris enters the trolley below the device through sliding hopper 26.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
