Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of machine tool waste chip collection technology, specifically relating to a waste chip collection device for machine tools. Background Technology
[0002] Machine tools are machines used to manufacture machines; they are also called machine tools or mother machines, and are commonly referred to simply as machine tools. They are generally classified into metal cutting machine tools, forging and pressing machine tools, and woodworking machine tools, among others. Modern mechanical manufacturing employs many methods for processing mechanical parts: in addition to cutting, there are casting, forging, welding, stamping, and extrusion. However, parts requiring high precision and fine surface roughness generally require final machining on machine tools using cutting methods. Machine tools play a vital role in the modernization of the national economy.
[0003] In existing technologies, machine tools typically generate a lot of waste chips during workpiece processing. Therefore, machine tools need to be equipped with waste chip collection devices to collect the waste chips. Currently, most waste chip collection devices on the market consist of a collection box and a guide plate. The upper end of the guide plate connects to the chip discharge port of the machine tool, and the lower end of the guide plate connects to the opening of the collection box. However, the guide plate is usually located in a fixed position at the opening of the box. Waste chips entering the collection box along the guide plate will accumulate in large quantities below the guide plate. Some machining waste chips are loose and flocculent. The accumulated waste chips will quickly rise to the outlet of the guide plate, making chip discharge at the outlet of the guide plate difficult. The space inside the collection box is not fully utilized, and the waste chips collected in the collection box need to be cleaned frequently, which is very inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a waste chip collection device for machine tools to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a waste chip collection device for machine tools, comprising a base, a collection mechanism and a flow guiding mechanism, wherein the collection mechanism comprises a collection box and a drive component for driving the collection box to reciprocate;
[0006] The flow guiding mechanism includes an L-shaped bracket fixedly mounted on the base, a flow guide plate hinged to the L-shaped bracket, and an adjustment component for adjusting the angle of the flow guide plate.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the collection box has two hinged doors on one side.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the drive assembly includes a reciprocating screw rotatably mounted on a base and a first motor for driving the reciprocating screw to rotate. A support seat is threaded onto the reciprocating screw, and the collection box is detachably fixed to the support seat.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, slide rails are fixedly connected to both sides of the base, and the support is slidably mounted on the slide rails.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment screw rotatably mounted on an L-shaped bracket and a second motor for driving the adjustment screw to rotate. A slider is threaded onto the adjustment screw, and a support rod is hinged between the slider and the guide plate.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the L-shaped bracket, and the slider is slidably sleeved on the guide rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This waste chip collection device for machine tools, through the setting of the collection mechanism, can start the first motor to drive the reciprocating screw to rotate during the waste chip collection process. The reciprocating screw drives the support seat to slide back and forth along the slide rail. The support seat drives the collection box to move back and forth, thereby changing the relative position of the lower end of the guide plate at the box opening. This ensures that the waste chips falling into the collection box along the guide plate are evenly distributed in the collection box, avoiding the waste chips from accumulating in one place. This makes full use of the space in the collection box and reduces the frequency of cleaning the collection box.
[0014] This waste chip collection device for machine tools, through the setting of the flow guiding mechanism, can start the second motor to drive the adjusting screw to rotate when collecting waste chips from different machine tools. The adjusting screw drives the slider to slide along the guide rod, and the slider drives the guide plate to rotate through the support rod. The height of the upper part of the guide plate can be adjusted to facilitate the collection of waste chips generated by machine tools of different heights and enhance flexibility.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0020] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The conditions in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to specific conditions, and simple improvements to the method of the present invention under the premise of the concept of the present invention are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a waste chip collection device for machine tools, including a base 1, a collection mechanism 2, and a flow guiding mechanism 3. The collection mechanism 2 includes a collection box 21 and a drive assembly 22 for driving the collection box 21 to reciprocate. Two hinged doors 23 are connected to one side of the collection box 21. The flow guiding mechanism 3 includes an L-shaped bracket 31 fixedly installed on the base 1, a flow guiding plate 32 hinged on the L-shaped bracket 31, and an adjustment assembly 33 for adjusting the angle of the flow guiding plate 32. With the arrangement of the collection mechanism 2 and the flow guiding mechanism 3, when collecting waste chips generated by the machine tool, the angle of the flow guiding plate 32 is first adjusted by the adjustment assembly 33 so that the upper end of the flow guiding plate 32 aligns with the chip discharge port of the machine tool. Then, the waste chips generated by the machine tool will be discharged into the collection box 21 along the flow guiding plate 32, thereby collecting the waste chips. When the collection box 21 is full of waste chips, the door 23 can be opened to remove the waste chips.
[0022] Specifically, the drive assembly 22 includes a reciprocating screw 221 rotatably mounted on the base 1 and a first motor 222 for driving the reciprocating screw 221 to rotate. A support seat 223 is threaded onto the reciprocating screw 221. The collection box 21 is detachably fixed on the support seat 223. Slide rails 224 are fixedly connected to both sides of the base 1. The support seat 223 is slidably mounted on the slide rails 224. Through the setting of the drive assembly 22, during the collection of waste, the first motor 222 can be started to drive the reciprocating screw 221 to rotate, so that the reciprocating screw 221 drives the support seat 223 to slide back and forth along the slide rails 224. The support seat 223 drives the collection box 21 to move back and forth, thereby changing the relative position of the lower end of the guide plate 32 at the box opening. This makes the waste falling into the collection box 21 along the guide plate 32 evenly distributed in the collection box 21, avoiding the waste from accumulating in one place, making full use of the space in the collection box 21, and reducing the frequency of cleaning the collection box 21.
[0023] Specifically, the adjustment assembly 33 includes an adjustment screw 331 rotatably mounted on an L-shaped bracket 31 and a second motor 332 for driving the adjustment screw 331 to rotate. A slider 333 is threadedly connected to the adjustment screw 331. A support rod 334 is hinged between the slider 333 and the guide plate 32. A guide rod 335 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped bracket 31. The slider 333 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 335. By setting the adjustment assembly 33, when collecting waste chips from different machine tools, the second motor 332 can be started to drive the adjustment screw 331 to rotate, so that the adjustment screw 331 drives the slider 333 to slide along the guide rod 335. The slider 333 drives the guide plate 32 to rotate through the support rod 334, which can adjust the height of the upper end of the guide plate 32, making it easier to collect waste chips generated by machine tools of different heights and enhancing flexibility.
[0024] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, when collecting waste chips generated by the machine tool, the second motor 332 can be started to drive the adjusting screw 331 to rotate, causing the adjusting screw 331 to drive the slider 333 to slide along the guide rod 335. The slider 333 drives the guide plate 32 to rotate through the support rod 334, and the height of the upper end of the guide plate 32 can be adjusted so that the upper end of the guide plate 32 is aligned with the chip discharge port of the machine tool. Then, the waste chips generated by the machine tool will be discharged into the collection box 21 along the guide plate 32, thereby collecting the waste chips. During the waste chip collection process... In the middle, the first motor 222 can be started to drive the reciprocating screw 221 to rotate, so that the reciprocating screw 221 drives the support seat 223 to slide back and forth along the slide rail 224. The support seat 223 drives the collection box 21 to move back and forth, thereby changing the relative position of the lower end of the guide plate 32 at the box opening, so that the waste falling into the collection box 21 along the guide plate 32 is evenly distributed in the collection box 21, avoiding the waste from accumulating in one place, so that the space in the collection box 21 is fully utilized. When the collection box 21 is full of waste, the box door 23 can be opened to take out the waste.
