Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool technology, specifically to a chip removal mechanism for machine tools. Background Technology

[0002] In machine tool processing, parts with high precision requirements and fine surface roughness requirements generally need to be finally processed by cutting on the machine tool. Cutting process generates a lot of chips, which need to be removed in time, otherwise it will affect the accuracy of the processing or even damage the machine tool.

[0003] Existing machine tool chip removal mechanisms tend to cause steel chips to entangle and accumulate during use, resulting in poor chip removal efficiency from the machine tool chip removal holes. The chips need to be manually cleaned regularly, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming, affecting processing and production. In addition, the equipment cannot collect and transport the chips to the required location during the cutting process, leading to an increase in the frequency and time of cleaning by operators.

A dust collection box 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 8. A third motor 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dust collection box 11. A fan 21 is fixedly assembled on the power output shaft of the third motor 22. A dust collection pipe 12 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the dust collection box 11.

[0022] In the above structure, by installing the support plate 8, the weight of the equipment is evenly supported, thereby increasing the stability of the equipment during operation.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment: the controller 5 is electrically connected to the first motor 4, and there are two lead screws 6, which are located on the outer walls of the driven wheel 15 and the driving wheel 24, respectively.

[0024] In the above structure, by controlling the first motor 4, the driving wheel 24 is driven to rotate, and the driving wheel 24 drives the driven wheel 15 to rotate through the transmission belt 14, so that the two lead screws 6 drive the slider 7 to move.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the slider 7 is provided with a slot 16, and the outer wall of the slot 16 is engaged with the outer wall of the block 17.

[0026] In the above structure, by pulling the limiting rod 9 with external force, the limiting rod 9 causes the locking block 17 to disengage from the inner wall of the slot 16, so that the support plate 8 can disassemble and assemble the cleaning device with the bed 1.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the spring 18 is fixed to the inner wall of the support plate 8, and the other end of the spring 18 is fixed to the outer wall of the circular plate 19.

[0028] In the above structure, by pulling the limiting rod 9 with external force, the limiting rod 9 drives the circular plate 19 to compress the spring 18, causing the locking block 17 to disengage from the slot 16. By releasing the limiting rod 9 with external force, the elastic force of the spring 18 pushes the circular plate 19, causing the circular plate 19 to engage with the inner wall of the slot 16, thereby achieving stable installation between the support plate 8 and the slider 7.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment: the controller 5 is electrically connected to the second motor 20, and there are two cleaning rods 10, which are located on top of the chip collection trough 13.

[0033] Working principle: By controlling the first motor 4, the driving wheel 24 is rotated. The driving wheel 24 drives the driven wheel 15 to rotate via the transmission belt 14, which in turn causes the two lead screws 6 to move the slider 7, collecting and transporting the chips to the required position. This reduces the frequency and time of cleaning by the operator and improves the cleaning efficiency. By pulling the limit rod 9 with external force, the limit rod 9 causes the circular plate 19 to compress the spring 18, causing the locking block 17 to disengage from the slot 16. By releasing the limit rod 9 with external force, the elastic force of the spring 18 pushes the circular plate 19, causing the circular plate 19 to engage with the slot. The inner walls of 16 are interlocked, thus achieving stable installation between the support plate 8 and the slider 7. By controlling the controller 5, the second motor 20 drives the cleaning rod 10 to rotate, so that the debris generated at the top of the dust collection trough 13 is rotated and cleaned. By controlling the controller 5, the third motor 22 drives the fan 21 to rotate and generate airflow, forming negative pressure, so that the dust generated by the two suction pipes 12 sweeping the dust collection trough 13 is adsorbed onto the inner wall of the dust collection frame 23. By using external force to pull the dust collection frame 23, the dust collection frame 23 is detached from the inner wall of the dust collection box 11 and tilted, thereby improving the cleaning quality.
