Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining-related technologies, and in particular to an automatic cleaning and collection device for iron filings on a vertical lathe platform. Background Technology

[0002] The difference between a vertical lathe and a conventional lathe lies in the fact that its spindle is vertical, essentially turning a conventional lathe into a vertical machine. Because its worktable is horizontal, it is suitable for machining heavy parts with large diameters and short lengths. Currently, there are many types of lathes on the market, which can basically meet people's needs. However, after machining, existing lathes tend to accumulate a lot of metal filings in the grooves, making cleaning these filings difficult and increasing the workload for operators.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN210946656U, published on July 7, 2020, discloses a metal scrap cleaning device, including a road sweeper. The device is characterized by a metal scrap collecting device at the front of the road sweeper. This device includes a connecting rod, one end of which is connected to the road sweeper, and the other end is fixedly connected to a metal scrap collecting disc. A toggle switch is provided on the collecting disc, controlling a permanent magnet to be connected to it. The toggle switch can control the permanent magnet to be energized to collect the metal scrap. A drawback of this invention is that while the device uses magnets to attract metal scrap, it is difficult to clean the scrap from the grooves. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where iron filings in the grooves of the workbench are difficult to clean, and provides an automatic iron filings cleaning and collection device for a vertical lathe platform that can clean iron filings in the grooves of the workbench.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic iron filings collection and cleaning device for a vertical lathe platform includes:

[0007] The workbench is provided with a T-slot;

[0008] A snap-fit ​​plate, wherein the snap-fit ​​plate is slidably connected to the worktable;

[0009] A chainsaw assembly, wherein the chainsaw assembly is mounted on a snap-fit ​​plate and the lower end of the chainsaw assembly is placed in a T-slot;

[0010] A central frame, wherein the snap-fit ​​plate is installed inside the central frame, and the central frame corresponds to the T-slot;

[0011] A receiving component is installed within a central frame.

[0012] A vertical lathe performs machining on a worktable. During the machining process, iron filings fall into the T-slots. These filings accumulate in the T-slots and are difficult to clean. Therefore, a snap-fit ​​plate is used to slide and connect with the T-slots to the worktable. The snap-fit ​​plate moves along the T-slots, and during this movement, a chainsaw assembly disperses and pulls out the iron filings from the T-slots. A collection frame is installed on the snap-fit ​​plate to prevent iron filings from splashing and becoming difficult to clean. Finally, a receiving assembly installed in the collection frame collects the iron filings, thus cleaning the iron filings in the T-slots and achieving the goal of cleaning the iron filings in the grooves of the worktable.

[0013] Preferably, a snap-fit ​​block is installed at the lower end of the snap-fit ​​plate, and the snap-fit ​​plate is slidably connected to the worktable through the engagement of the snap-fit ​​block and the T-slot. The snap-fit ​​plate slides on the worktable through the engagement of the snap-fit ​​block and the T-slot, allowing the snap-fit ​​plate to move along the T-slot and clean the T-slot one by one. This design allows it to slide along the T-slot.

[0014] Preferably, the front end of the clamping plate is provided with a mounting groove. The chainsaw assembly includes a motor and a chain. The motor is mounted on the upper surface of the clamping plate. A sprocket is mounted on the motor shaft of the motor. A rotating shaft is mounted at the lower end of the mounting groove. Both ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the clamping plate. A second sprocket is mounted on the rotating shaft. One end of the chain meshes with the first sprocket, and the other end of the chain meshes with the second sprocket. Several saw teeth are evenly distributed on the chain. The chainsaw assembly can remove iron filings from the T-slot. The chainsaw assembly is mounted in the mounting groove on the clamping plate. The motor is mounted on the clamping plate and drives the first sprocket to rotate. Since the second sprocket is mounted on the rotating shaft at the lower end of the mounting groove, it drives the chain to rotate through meshing with the chain. The lower end of the chain is placed in the T-slot. The saw teeth mounted on the chain rotate with the chain, and the saw teeth remove the iron filings from the T-slot, thus facilitating the removal of iron filings. This design can remove iron filings from the T-slot.

[0015] Preferably, the concentrator frame has a U-shaped cross-section. Both sides of the concentrator frame are connected to the two sides of the snap-fit ​​plate, a baffle is installed at the front end of the concentrator frame, and the bottom surface of the concentrator frame is flush with the worktable. The concentrator frame encloses the snap-fit ​​plate and the chainsaw assembly. The U-shaped concentrator frame prevents metal chips from splashing from all sides, and the baffle installed at the front end of the concentrator frame further protects it. The bottom surface of the concentrator frame is flush with the worktable, allowing it to slide on the worktable. This design effectively prevents metal chips from splashing.

[0016] Preferably, a sliding block is installed on the baffle, and the receiving assembly includes a collecting frame and a spring. A sliding groove is provided on one side of the collecting frame, which is slidably connected to the baffle through the cooperation of the sliding block and the sliding groove. A contact plate is installed at the upper end of the collecting frame, one end of the spring is connected to the contact plate, and the other end of the spring is connected to the concentrating frame. To collect iron filings brought out by the chainsaw assembly, a collecting frame is installed inside the baffle. The collecting frame slides on the baffle through the cooperation of the sliding block and the sliding groove. A contact plate is installed at the top of the collecting frame, and then the contact plate is connected to the concentrating frame by a spring. When cleaning iron filings, the spring compresses the collecting frame, bringing its bottom surface into contact with the workbench for easy collection. After the snap-fit ​​plate slides out of the T-slot, the spring compresses the collecting frame along the sliding block and out of the concentrating frame, thus dumping the collected iron filings. This design facilitates the collection of iron filings.

[0017] Preferably, a limiting block is installed on the baffle, and a limiting groove is provided on the collection frame, with the limiting block matching the limiting groove. A limiting block is installed at the lower end of the baffle, and the limiting block cooperates with the limiting groove on the collection frame to limit the movement distance of the collection frame, ensuring that the collection frame is not easily pushed out. This design effectively limits the movement of the collection frame.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it can clean iron filings in the groove of the workbench, slide along the T-slot, bring out the iron filings in the T-slot, prevent iron filings from splashing, facilitate the collection of iron filings, and limit the position of the collection frame.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, an automatic cleaning and collection device for steel scrap from a vertical lathe platform includes:

[0027] Workbench 1, with a T-slot 11 on it;

[0028] Snap-on plate 2 is slidably connected to workbench 1;

[0029] Chainsaw assembly 3 is mounted on snap-fit ​​plate 2, and the lower end of chainsaw assembly 3 is placed in T-slot 11.

[0030] The central frame 4 and the snap-fit ​​plate 2 are installed inside the central frame 4, and the central frame 4 corresponds to the T-slot 11.

[0031] Receiver 5 is installed inside the central frame 4.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, a snap-fit ​​block 21 is installed at the lower end of the snap-fit ​​plate 2, and the snap-fit ​​plate 2 is slidably connected to the worktable 1 through the engagement of the snap-fit ​​block 21 and the T-slot 11.

[0033] The front end of the snap-fit ​​plate 2 is provided with a mounting groove 22. The chainsaw assembly 3 includes a motor 31 and a chain 32. The motor 31 is mounted on the upper surface of the snap-fit ​​plate 2. A sprocket 33 is mounted on the motor shaft of the motor 31. A rotating shaft 34 is mounted at the lower end of the mounting groove 22. Both ends of the rotating shaft 34 are rotatably connected to the snap-fit ​​plate 2. A sprocket 35 is mounted on the rotating shaft 34. One end of the chain 32 meshes with the sprocket 33, and the other end of the chain 32 meshes with the sprocket 35. Several saw teeth 36 are evenly distributed on the chain 32.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the central frame 4 is U-shaped. The two sides of the central frame 4 are connected to the two sides of the snap-fit ​​plate 2 respectively. A baffle 41 is installed at the front end of the central frame 4, and the bottom surface of the central frame 4 is in contact with the workbench 1.

[0035] like Figure 5As shown, a sliding block 42 is installed on the baffle 41. The receiving component 5 includes a collecting frame 51 and a spring 52. A sliding groove 53 is provided on one side of the collecting frame 51. The collecting frame 51 is slidably connected to the baffle 41 through the cooperation of the sliding block 42 and the sliding groove 53. A contact plate 54 is installed at the upper end of the collecting frame 51. One end of the spring 52 is connected to the contact plate 54, and the other end of the spring 52 is connected to the collecting frame 4.

[0036] A limiting block 43 is installed on the baffle 41, and a limiting groove 55 is provided on the collection frame 51. The limiting block 43 matches the limiting groove 55.

[0037] Iron filings need to be cleaned from the T-slot 11 on the workbench 1. The locking block 21 of the locking plate 2 is pushed into the T-slot 11 and slidably connected to the workbench 1. As the locking plate 2 moves, it drives the lower end of the chainsaw assembly 3 to move within the T-slot 11. During this forward movement, the motor 31 actuates, driving the sprocket 33 to rotate. The sprocket 33 meshes with the chain 35, causing the chain 35 to rotate. During rotation, the saw teeth 36 on the chain 35 carry the iron filings out of the T-slot 11.

[0038] The iron filings are blocked inside the collection frame 4 and fall into the collection frame 51 of the receiving component 5. The iron filings are carried out of the T-slot 11 by the movement of the snap plate 2 along the T-slot 11. Finally, the front end of the collection frame 4 extends out of the worktable. When the lower end of the collection frame 51 moves away from the worktable 1, the spring 52 pushes the collection frame 51 out of the collection frame 4 along the sliding block 42, and then the iron filings in the collection frame 4 are cleaned.
