Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vertical lathes, and in particular to a cleaning device for a vertical lathe worktable. Background Technology
[0002] A vertical lathe is a machine tool used for machining large rotating parts. During machining, its worktable accumulates a large amount of debris, requiring cleaning. However, because the worktable has grooves, debris often enters these grooves and is difficult to remove. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN212734157U discloses a vertical lathe worktable with a cleaning function. This design uses brushes, vertical tubes, a rotating shaft, and a connecting plate. Rotating the connecting plate moves the brushes, thus moving and cleaning the debris. Simultaneously, a dust pump suctions the debris, removing it from the grooves. However, this solution has the following drawbacks: the cleaning components are located beside the worktable, occupying space. For lathes with limited machining space, this may affect the installation and operation of other equipment or tools. It may also require operators to be more careful during machining, increasing the complexity and difficulty of the operation. When machining large parts, the cleaning components may interfere with the parts, affecting machining. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0017] like Figures 1-2As shown, a vertical lathe worktable cleaning device includes a movable base 1. A hydraulic cylinder 2 is centrally located at the top of the movable base 1. A lifting support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 2. Telescopic guide rods 13 are provided on both sides of the lifting support plate 3 and the movable base 1. A mounting box 4 is located on the top of the lifting support plate 3. Support shafts 5 are rotatably connected to both ends of the top of the mounting box 4. A power mechanism for driving the support shafts 5 to rotate is provided on the mounting box 4. The power mechanism includes motors 14 fixed to both sides of the top of the mounting box 4. The main shaft of the motors 14 and the bottom of the support shafts 5 pass through the mounting box 4 and are driven by gears. The tops of the two support shafts 5 are rotatably connected to the same top plate 6. The height of the support shafts 5 is adjustable and can be adapted to the height of the worktable.
[0018] A connecting sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer side of the support shaft 5. A connecting plate 8 is fixedly fitted onto the connecting sleeve 7. A movable plate 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the two connecting plates 8 facing away from each other. An extension plate 10 is slidably provided on one side of the movable plate 9. A slider 15 is provided on the side of the extension plate 10 that is close to the movable plate 9. The movable plate 9 has a groove corresponding to the slider 15, and the slider 15 is slidably disposed in the groove. The movable plate 9 has a manual mechanism for driving the extension plate 10 to slide. The manual mechanism includes stops 16 fixed to both ends of the top of the movable plate 9. A lead screw 17 is rotatably connected between the opposite faces of the stops 16. A moving block 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the extension plate 10 adjacent to the movable plate 9. The moving block 18 slides along the top of the movable plate 9 and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 17. A handwheel 19 for driving the lead screw 17 to rotate is provided on the top of one of the stops 16. The setting of the extension plate 10 can be adjusted according to the diameter of the worktable.
[0019] A cleaning brush 11 is fixedly attached to the bottom of the movable plate 9 and extension plate 10 on one side, and a permanent magnet plate 12 is fixedly attached to the bottom of the movable plate 9 and extension plate 10 on the other side. An air blowing pipe 20 is installed on the opposite side of the movable plate 9 and extension plate 10 with the cleaning brush 11. Several air nozzles 21 are provided at the bottom of the air blowing pipe 20. An air pump 22 connected to the air blowing pipe 20 is provided at the top of the lifting support plate 3. Connecting rods 23 are fixedly attached to both ends of the bottom of the movable plate 9 and extension plate 10 with the permanent magnet plate 12, and the permanent magnet plate 12 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting rod 23. During cleaning, large pieces of iron filings are first sucked away by the permanent magnet plate 12 to avoid large mechanical impact on the brush bristles, which could cause the bristles to deform, break, or even fall off. Then, the cleaning brush 11 is used to clean other waste, and the air nozzles 21 are used to blow away dust and waste in the trough to avoid leaving cleaning dead corners.
[0020] In operation, the device is moved to the workbench to be cleaned. The hydraulic cylinder 2 is activated to adjust the height of the permanent magnet plate 12. The handwheel 19 is turned to adjust the distance the extension plate 10 extends beyond the movable plate 9 to match the workbench and ensure complete coverage. One side motor 14 is activated, causing the permanent magnet plate 12 to rotate 180 degrees to attract large iron filings. The movable base 1 is then rotated to place the cleaning brush 11 above the workbench. The corresponding motor 14 and air pump 22 are activated, causing the cleaning brush 11 to clean repeatedly. Simultaneously, the air nozzle 21 blows away dust and debris from the groove, preventing any residue. After cleaning, the device is moved to the next lathe workbench to be cleaned. This cleaning device, mounted on the movable base 1, is easy to move and can be flexibly applied to cleaning multiple vertical lathe workbenches without occupying lathe workspace or affecting parts processing. Furthermore, the size of the extension plate 10 can be adjusted according to the workbench size, and larger iron filings can be attracted without damaging the cleaning brush 11. Overall, it is flexible and convenient to use.
