Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machine tool technology, specifically to a CNC machine tool for processing faucets that are easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] CNC machine tools are among the most widely used CNC machine tools. They are mainly used for cutting and machining the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, inner and outer conical surfaces with arbitrary cone angles, complex rotating inner and outer curved surfaces, and cylindrical and conical threads of shaft or disc parts. They can also perform grooving, drilling, reaming, boring, and other machining operations. CNC machine tools automatically process parts according to pre-programmed machining programs. CNC machine tools are used when machining faucets.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN216829914U proposes "A CNC Machine Tool for Easy Debris Cleaning". This technical solution addresses the problem that "existing CNC machine tools generate a large amount of debris during the machining process, making it impossible for users to handle the debris while the CNC machine tool is working. Cleaning can only be done when the CNC machine tool is stopped, making it inconvenient for users to clean the debris generated by the CNC machine tool." The utility model provides the following technical solution: "By setting a positive and negative threaded rod and a fixed seat with a threaded sleeve to cooperate with each other, the guide tube, dust suction pipe and dust suction hood are moved. By setting the suction force generated by the suction fan, the dust suction hood can easily clean the debris generated by the machine tool body inside the machine tool body. This allows users to clean the debris while the machine tool body is machining, reducing the impact of debris generated inside the machine tool body on the machined parts, enabling rapid cleaning of debris generated by the CNC machine tool, improving the efficiency of CNC machine tool machining, and reducing the difficulty for users to clean the debris."

[0004] The above solution has the following drawbacks: when the above device is in use, the debris will pass through the suction fan and then be discharged into the waste bin. The debris will pass through the inside of the suction fan for a long time, which will increase the failure of the suction fan. Therefore, a CNC machine tool for faucet processing that is easy to clean is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a CNC machine tool for easy cleaning of faucets, including a machine tool body 1 for faucet processing, and a debris collection structure on the left side of the machine tool body 1.

[0023] The debris collection structure includes suction hoods 2 fixedly installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the machine tool body 1. Vertical pipes 3 that penetrate to the top of the machine tool body 1 are fixedly installed on the top of each suction hood 2. The two vertical pipes 3 are connected to the two suction hoods 2 respectively. A first air chamber 4 is fixedly installed on the left side of the machine tool body 1. The exterior of the first air chamber 4 is a rectangular structure. A horizontal air pipe 5 that penetrates to the top of the first air chamber 4 is fixedly installed. The horizontal air pipe 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the two vertical pipes 3. By drawing the air out of the horizontal air pipe 5, the debris generated by the water tap processing can be removed through the two vertical pipes 3 and the suction hoods 2.

[0024] A metal filter 6, fitted onto the outside of the horizontal air duct 5, is fixedly installed inside the No. 1 air chamber 4. An exhaust fan 7 is fixedly installed on the left side of the No. 1 air chamber 4. An exhaust pipe 8, penetrating into the interior of the No. 1 air chamber 4, is fixedly installed at the exhaust end of the exhaust fan 7. The exhaust pipe 8 is fixedly installed inside the upper top wall of the No. 1 air chamber 4 and is located on top of the metal filter 6. When the exhaust fan 7 operates, it draws airflow from the interior of the No. 1 air chamber 4 through the exhaust pipe 8, and can also draw airflow from the interior of the horizontal air duct 5. Debris is intercepted by the metal filter 6 to prevent it from entering the interior of the exhaust pipe 8. A No. 2 air chamber 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the No. 1 air chamber 4. The No. 2 air chamber 9 is connected to the No. 1 air chamber 4. The No. 2 air chamber 9 is fixedly installed on the left side of the machine tool body 1. Debris entering the No. 1 air chamber 4 falls into the interior of the No. 2 air chamber 9 due to gravity.

[0025] A hydraulic cylinder 10 is fixedly installed inside the machine tool body 1, penetrating into the second air cavity 9. The maximum extension stroke of the hydraulic cylinder 10 is greater than the width of the machine tool body 1. A steel plate 11 is fixedly installed on the left side of the hydraulic cylinder 10. The steel plate 11 slides left and right inside the second air cavity 9. When the hydraulic cylinder 10 extends and pushes the steel plate 11 to the left, it can compress the debris inside the second air cavity 9 into a whole. A support plate 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the second air cavity 9. A flipping steel plate 13 is rotatably installed on the bottom of the support plate 12. The side area of ​​the flipping steel plate 13 is greater than the side area of ​​the second air cavity 9. The left side of the second air cavity 9 is sealed by the flipping steel plate 13. The flipping steel plate 13 is located to the left of the rubber ring 14. The rubber ring 14 is fixedly installed on the left side of the second air cavity 9. The connection between the flipping steel plate 13 and the second air cavity 9 is sealed by the rubber ring 14.

[0026] An L-shaped base frame 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second air chamber 9. The L-shaped base frame 15 is located at the left end near the second air chamber 9. An L-shaped hook plate 16 is slidably installed on the left side of the L-shaped base frame 15. The L-shaped hook plate 16 slides up and down outside the limiting vertical rod 17. The L-shaped hook plate 16 is restricted to the bottom of the flipping steel plate 13 by the L-shaped base frame 15 and the limiting vertical rod 17. A pedal is fixedly installed on the left side of the L-shaped hook plate 16. The L-shaped hook plate 16 can be slid down by stepping on the pedal. A limiting vertical rod 17 is fixedly installed at the top of the L-shaped base frame 15 and extends into the L-shaped hook plate 16. A spring 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the L-shaped hook plate 16 and is fitted outside the limiting vertical rod 17. When the spring 18 unfolds, it pushes the L-shaped hook plate 16 to rise and hook the flipping steel plate 13 for restriction.

[0027] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0028] When the machine tool body 1 is used, the faucet is processed. Then, the exhaust fan 7 runs and draws air from the No. 1 air chamber 4 and the No. 2 air chamber 9 through the exhaust pipe 8. The No. 1 air chamber 4, which is in a vacuum state and is downward, draws air from the horizontal air pipe 5. Then, through the two vertical pipes 3 at the bottom of the horizontal air pipe 5 and the suction hood 2, the debris generated during the processing of the faucet is removed. The debris enters the No. 1 air chamber 4 and is intercepted by the metal filter screen 6. Under the influence of gravity, it falls into the No. 2 air chamber 9. When there is too much debris in the No. 2 air chamber 9, the hydraulic cylinder 10 unfolds and pushes the steel plate 11 to the left to compress the debris into a whole. Finally, the foot pedal is stepped on and the L-hook plate 16 slides down to contact the limit of the flipping steel plate 13. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 10 unfolds again to push out the debris.
