It improves the working efficiency of CNC lathe tools, accelerates the drilling process, meets people's work needs, and provides many conveniences.
[0004] When cleaning CNC lathe tools, each tool needs to be cleaned individually. This requires manual cleaning of each tool, which reduces cleaning efficiency. Therefore, how to switch between tools one by one during the cleaning process is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a CNC lathe tool cleaning and switching device, which has the effect of switching tools during the cleaning process.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a CNC lathe tool cleaning and switching device, comprising a cleaning box, a water tank fixedly installed on the outside of the cleaning box, a water pump fixedly connected inside the water tank, a water outlet pipe fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump, a nozzle fixedly connected to one end of the water outlet pipe, a motor platform fixedly connected to the other side of the cleaning box, a motor fixedly installed at the bottom of the motor platform, a small gear fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a large gear rotatably connected to the top of the motor platform, the small gear meshing with the large gear, a tool disc fixedly connected to the center of the large gear, a clamping mechanism fixedly connected to the outside of the tool disc, a tool disposed inside the clamping mechanism, a support plate fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning box, and the water outlet pipe penetrating into the interior of the support plate.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when cleaning the tools, the tools are clamped inside the clamping mechanism. There are four clamping mechanisms, which can clean four tools.

The outlet pipe is supported above the cleaning tank by a support plate. The water inside the outlet pipe is sprayed through a nozzle positioned above one of the clamping mechanisms, allowing it to contact one of the tools. When it is necessary to switch tools, the motor is started, which drives the small gear and the large gear to mesh. The large gear then rotates the tool disc, the clamping mechanism, and the tools, allowing the positions of the four clamping mechanisms and the four tools to be switched. This allows one tool to be moved below the nozzle, enabling rapid cleaning of all four tools. This process greatly improves the cleaning efficiency of the tools.
[0008] A further feature of this invention is that the clamping mechanism includes a clamping sleeve, a cylinder is fixedly mounted on the top of the clamping sleeve, and a pressure block is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the tool is clamped by the clamping mechanism, the tail of the tool is installed inside the clamping sleeve, and the cylinder is activated, so that the cylinder drives the pressure block to extend and retract.
[0010] A further feature of this invention is that a support pad is fixedly connected inside the clamping sleeve, and an anti-slip layer is fixedly connected to the sides of both the support pad and the pressure block.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, one side of the cutting tool contacts the pressure block, and the other side of the cutting tool is supported by the support pad. Through the continuous extension and retraction of the pressure block, the cutting tool can be clamped between the pressure block and the support pad, thereby fixing the cutting tool inside the clamping sleeve.
[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the anti-slip layer is provided with anti-slip particles on its exterior, and the number of anti-slip particles is several.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip layer and anti-slip particles increase the friction and prevent the tool from deviating or falling off.
[0014] A further feature of this invention is that a support block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and an isolation net is attached to the top of the support block.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the isolation net is connected to the inside of the cleaning tank by the connecting blocks. During the cleaning process, the impurities on the blades are isolated by the isolation net, and the wastewater falls into the bottom of the cleaning tank through the isolation net.
[0016] A further feature of this invention is that a water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank, and a sealing plug is provided inside the water inlet pipe.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, external water enters the interior of the water tank through the inlet pipe, and the sealing plug seals the inlet pipe.
[0018] A further feature of this invention is that a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning tank, and a valve is installed inside the drain pipe.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the wastewater inside the cleaning tank is discharged through the drain pipe and valve.
[0020] A further feature of this invention is that a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of both the cleaning tank and the water tank, and a support leg is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the base plate and support legs are set above the cleaning tank and water tank, thereby providing support for the cleaning tank and water tank.
[0022] A further feature of this invention is that a pump frame is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water tank, and the water pump is fixedly connected inside the pump frame.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the water pump is fixed inside the water tank by the pump frame, thereby improving the stability of the water pump during operation.
[0024] A further feature of this invention is that the number of clamping mechanisms is four, and the four clamping mechanisms are distributed in a circular array.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, four clamping mechanisms are distributed around the outside of the tool disc, and the four clamping mechanisms can clamp four tools.
[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0027] 1. This utility model, through the arrangement of a cleaning tank, water tank, water pump, water outlet pipe, nozzle, motor platform, motor, pinion gear, gear, cutter disc, and clamping mechanism, allows for the cleaning of four cutters by clamping them inside the clamping mechanism. One clamping mechanism extends into the cleaning tank. Activating the water pump draws water from the tank into the water outlet pipe, which is supported above the cleaning tank by a support plate. Water from the outlet pipe is sprayed through the nozzle, which is positioned above one of the clamping mechanisms to contact one of the cutters. When a cutter needs to be switched, the motor is activated, driving the pinion and gears to mesh. The gear then rotates the cutter disc, clamping mechanism, and cutter, allowing the positions of the four clamping mechanisms and cutters to be switched. This allows one cutter to be moved below the nozzle, enabling rapid cleaning of all four cutters and significantly improving cleaning efficiency.
[0028] 2. This utility model, through the arrangement of a clamping mechanism, a clamping sleeve, a cylinder, a pressure block, a support pad, an anti-slip layer, a cutting tool, a support plate, a connecting block, and an isolation net, allows the cutting tool to be clamped by the clamping mechanism. The tail of the cutting tool is installed inside the clamping sleeve. The cylinder is activated, causing the pressure block to extend and retract. One side of the cutting tool contacts the pressure block, while the other side is supported by the support pad. Through the continuous extension and retraction of the pressure block, the cutting tool is clamped between the pressure block and the support pad, thus fixing the cutting tool inside the clamping sleeve. The isolation net is connected to the inside of the cleaning tank via the connecting block. During the cleaning process, impurities on the cutting tool are isolated by the isolation net, and wastewater falls into the bottom of the cleaning tank through the isolation net.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-4A CNC lathe tool cleaning and switching device includes a cleaning tank 1, a water tank 2 fixedly installed on the outside of the cleaning tank 1, a water pump 3 fixedly connected inside the water tank 2, a water outlet pipe 4 fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 3, a nozzle 5 fixedly connected to one end of the water outlet pipe 4, a motor platform 6 fixedly connected to the other side of the cleaning tank 1, a motor 7 fixedly installed at the bottom of the motor platform 6, a small gear 8 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 7, a large gear 9 rotatably connected to the top of the motor platform 6, the small gear 8 meshing with the large gear 9, a tool disc 10 fixedly connected to the center of the large gear 9, a clamping mechanism 11 fixedly connected to the outside of the tool disc 10, a tool 12 disposed inside the clamping mechanism 11, a support plate 13 fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning tank 1, and the water outlet pipe 4 penetrating through to... Inside the support plate 13, when cleaning the blade 12, the blade 12 is clamped inside the clamping mechanism 11. There are four clamping mechanisms 11, which can clean four blades 12. One of the clamping mechanisms 11 extends into the cleaning tank 1. The water pump 3 is started, which draws water from the water tank 2 into the water outlet pipe 4. The water outlet pipe 4 is supported above the cleaning tank 1 by the support plate 13. The water inside the water outlet pipe 4 is sprayed through the nozzle 5, which is located above one of the clamping mechanisms 11, so that it can contact one of the blades 12. When it is necessary to switch blades 12, the motor 7 is started, which drives the pinion gear 8 and the large gear 9 to mesh, thereby causing the large gear 9 to drive the blade disc. 10. The clamping mechanism 11 and the cutter 12 rotate, thereby switching the positions of the four clamping mechanisms 11 and the four cutters 12, so that one of the cutters 12 can be switched to below the nozzle 5, thereby enabling rapid cleaning of the four cutters 12. This process greatly improves the cleaning efficiency of the cutters 12. The clamping mechanism 11 includes a clamping sleeve 111, and a cylinder 112 is fixedly installed on the top of the clamping sleeve 111. A pressure block 113 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 112. When the cutter 12 is clamped by the clamping mechanism 11, the tail of the cutter 12 is installed inside the clamping sleeve 111. The cylinder 112 is activated, causing the cylinder 112 to drive the pressure block 113 to extend and retract. A support is fixedly connected inside the clamping sleeve 111. The sides of the support pad 114 and the pressure block 113 are all fixedly connected with anti-slip layers 115. One side of the cutter 12 contacts the pressure block 113, and the other side of the cutter 12 is supported by the support pad 114. Through the continuous extension and retraction of the pressure block 113, the cutter 12 can be clamped between the pressure block 113 and the support pad 114, thereby fixing the cutter 12 inside the clamping sleeve 111. The outside of the anti-slip layer 115 is provided with anti-slip particles, and the number of anti-slip particles is several. The anti-slip layer 115 and the anti-slip particles increase the friction and prevent the cutter 12 from shifting or falling off. The inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 is fixedly connected with a mounting block 14, and an isolation net 15 is attached to the top of the mounting block 14. The isolation net 15 is attached to the inside of the cleaning tank 1 through the mounting block 14.During the cleaning process, impurities on the blade 12 are isolated by the isolation net 15. Wastewater falls into the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 through the isolation net 15. A water inlet pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 2. A sealing plug is installed inside the water inlet pipe 16. Water from the outside enters the water tank 2 through the water inlet pipe 16, and the sealing plug seals the water inlet pipe 16. A drain pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning tank 1. A valve 18 is installed inside the drain pipe 17. Wastewater inside the cleaning tank 1 is discharged through the drain pipe 17 and the valve 18. A base plate 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of both the cleaning tank 1 and the water tank 2. The top of the base plate 19 is fixedly connected to a support leg. The base plate 19 and the support leg are positioned above the cleaning tank 1 and the water tank 2, thus supporting the cleaning tank 1 and the water tank 2. A pump frame 20 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water tank 2, and the water pump 3 is fixedly connected inside the pump frame 20. The water pump 3 is fixed inside the water tank 2 through the pump frame 20, thereby improving the stability of the water pump 3 during operation. There are four clamping mechanisms 11, which are distributed in a circular array around the outside of the cutter disc 10. The four clamping mechanisms 11 can clamp the four cutters 12.
[0037] In this invention, when cleaning the blade 12, the blade 12 is clamped inside the clamping mechanism 11. There are four clamping mechanisms 11, allowing for the cleaning of four blades 12. One clamping mechanism 11 extends into the cleaning tank 1. The water pump 3 is activated, drawing water from the water tank 2 into the outlet pipe 4. The outlet pipe 4 is supported above the cleaning tank 1 by a support plate 13. The water inside the outlet pipe 4 is sprayed through a nozzle 5, which is positioned above one of the clamping mechanisms 11, allowing contact with one of the blades 12. When switching blades 12, the motor 7 is activated, driving the pinion 8 and gear 9 to mesh. The gear 9 then rotates the blade disc 10, the clamping mechanisms 11, and the blades 12, allowing the positions of the four clamping mechanisms 11 and the four blades 12 to be switched, enabling one blade 12 to be cleaned. Each blade 12 can be switched to the area below the nozzle 5, thereby enabling rapid cleaning of all four blades 12. This process greatly improves the cleaning efficiency of the blades 12. When the blades 12 are clamped by the clamping mechanism 11, the tail of the blade 12 is installed inside the clamping sleeve 111. The cylinder 112 is activated, causing the cylinder 112 to drive the pressure block 113 to extend and retract. One side of the blade 12 contacts the pressure block 113, and the other side of the blade 12 is supported by the support pad 114. Through the continuous extension and retraction of the pressure block 113, the blade 12 can be clamped between the pressure block 113 and the support pad 114, thereby fixing the blade 12 inside the clamping sleeve 111. The isolation net 15 is attached to the inside of the cleaning tank 1 by the connecting block 14. During the cleaning process, the impurities on the blades 12 are isolated by the isolation net 15, and the wastewater falls into the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 through the isolation net 15.
