Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of straight shank end mill machining technology, and more specifically, it relates to a surface treatment device for machining straight shank end mills that is easy to clean and maintain. Background Technology

[0002] In the machining process of straight shank end mills, surface treatment is a crucial step, as its effectiveness directly affects the milling accuracy, service life, and cutting performance. Traditional surface treatment devices for straight shank end mills typically only have a single grinding function. After grinding, the milling cutter must be manually transferred to specialized cleaning equipment for cleaning, or a simpler cleaning method must be used. This not only makes the machining process cumbersome and inefficient, but manual operation is also prone to introducing errors, affecting the machining quality of the milling cutter.

[0003] Currently, some surface treatment devices on the market that have grinding and cleaning functions are not automated enough in switching between grinding and cleaning modes. They often require complex mechanical adjustments or manual intervention, increasing the difficulty of operation and time costs. At the same time, traditional devices are not effective in cleaning debris from the milling cutter surface after grinding, and it is difficult to completely remove the tiny particles and debris adhering to the milling cutter surface. These residues may damage the milling cutter and workpiece during subsequent processing.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional devices lack effective solutions for cleaning and maintaining the cleaning roller itself. As usage time increases, a large amount of debris cleaned from the milling cutter accumulates on the surface of the cleaning roller. If not cleaned in time, it will not only affect the cleaning effect of the cleaning roller, but may also cause the debris to re-adhere to the surface of the milling cutter, reducing the surface treatment quality.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0030] Example 1 includes a housing 1, a rotary chuck 2 rotatably mounted on the top of the housing 1 for holding a milling cutter to be processed, a lead screw slide 3 mounted on the top of the housing 1, a displacement seat 4 slidably mounted on the lead screw slide 3, a lifting part 5 slidably mounted on the top of the displacement seat 4, and a grinding roller 6 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the lifting part 5 for grinding the milling cutter to be processed. The surface treatment device for machining straight shank end mills also includes a cleaning mechanism 7 and a waste chip collection mechanism 8; the cleaning mechanism 7 is mounted on the top of the lifting part 5, and the cleaning mechanism 7 includes a rotating part 71, a cleaning roller 72, and an abutment part 73; the rotating part 71 is rotatably mounted on the lifting part 5. The bottom of the lowering part 5 and one side of the bottom of the rotating part 71 are connected to the top of the grinding roller 6; the cleaning roller 72 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the rotating part 71 and is located beside the grinding roller 6. The cleaning roller 72 is used to clean the outer side of the milling cutter to be processed after grinding; the abutting part 73 is slidably disposed at the bottom of the lowering part 5. When the abutting part 73 slides, it can contact the outer side of the cleaning roller 72. The abutting part 73 is used to clean the debris attached to the outer side of the cleaning roller 72; the waste chip collection mechanism 8 is slidably disposed at the top of the housing 1. The waste chip collection mechanism 8 is used to collect the waste chips generated during the grinding process.

[0031] Specifically, the rotary chuck 2 has multiple clamping parts slidably arranged on it for holding the milling cutter to be processed. A rotary motor is provided at the bottom of the housing 1 to drive the rotary chuck 2 to rotate. When the rotary motor is started, it drives the rotary chuck 2 to rotate. The top of the rotating part 71 is provided with motors for driving the grinding roller 6 and the cleaning roller 72 to rotate. Both motors are preferably servo motors, and when the motors are started, they drive the grinding roller 6 and the cleaning roller 72 to rotate. The cleaning roller 72 is preferably a nylon bristle brush roller. After the grinding roller 6 has finished grinding the milling cutter to be processed, the rotating part 71 rotates and drives the cleaning roller 72 to exchange positions with the grinding roller 6. Then, the lead screw slide 3 drives the displacement seat 4 to slide towards the rotary chuck 2 until the outside of the cleaning roller 72 contacts the ground milling cutter to be processed, at which point the displacement seat 4 stops sliding. A hydraulic cylinder is also provided on the top of the displacement seat 4 to drive the lifting part 5 to rise or fall along the displacement seat 4. When the hydraulic cylinder is activated, it can drive the lifting part 5 to drive the rotating part 71, the grinding roller 6, and the cleaning roller 72 to rise and fall synchronously, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the grinding roller 6 and the cleaning roller 72. A servo motor is provided on the top of the rotating part 71 to drive the rotating part 71 to rotate. When the servo motor is activated, it can drive the rotating part 71 to rotate. When the rotating part 71 rotates, it can drive the grinding roller 6 and the cleaning roller 72 to exchange positions. After the switch, the abutment part 73 slides on the top of the lifting part 5 until the abutment part 73 slides and contacts the cleaning roller 72. At this time, the cleaning roller 72 can throw the debris attached to the surface onto the abutment part 73 after contacting the abutment part 73. It is worth noting that the abutment part 73 has an L-shaped structure, and the side of the abutment part 73 that contacts the cleaning roller 72 has a triangular structure. It enables automatic switching between grinding and cleaning modes, facilitates cleaning of the milling cutter after grinding, and also facilitates cleaning of the cleaning roller 72, ensuring the normal use of the cleaning roller 72 for the next operation.

[0032] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cleaning mechanism 7 also includes a collection part 74; the collection part 74 is slidably disposed at the bottom of the abutment part 73, and the abutment part 73 is provided with a limiting groove for restricting the vertical sliding of the collection part 74, and the collection part 74 is provided with a collection chamber for collecting dust adhering to the cleaning roller 72.

[0033] Specifically, when the contact portion 73 contacts the cleaning roller 72, and the contact portion 73 collects the debris attached to the outside of the cleaning roller 72, the cleaning roller 72 can throw the external debris into the collection portion 74 through the contact portion 73. At this time, the collection portion 74 can collect the debris outside the cleaning roller 72, and by pulling the collection portion 74 downward, the debris collected in the collection portion 74 can be dumped.

[0034] See Figures 3-6 The cleaning mechanism 7 also includes a filter screen 75 and a fastener 76. The filter screen 75 is disposed at the rear end of the collecting part 74 and abuts against the end face of the abutting part 73. A circular hole is provided on the contact end face of the abutting part 73 and the filter screen 75. The fastener 76 is rotatably disposed on the top of the abutting part 73. When the collecting part 74 slides to the top of the abutting part 73, the fastener 76 can abut the collecting part 74 against the top of the abutting part 73 by means of thread screwing in.

[0035] Specifically, since a filter screen 75 is provided at the rear end of the collection unit 74, debris thrown into the collection unit 74 can be blocked by the filter screen 75, preventing debris from falling to the outside of the collection unit 74. When it is necessary to install or remove the collection unit 74, the fastener 76 is rotated during removal, and the collection unit 74 can slide vertically downward through the limiting groove provided on the abutment part 73, thus removing the collection unit 74. During installation, the collection unit 74 is slid towards the top of the abutment part 73, and then the fastener 76 is rotated to install or remove the collection unit 74.

[0036] See Figures 4-6 The cleaning mechanism 7 also includes a first telescopic cylinder 77 and a moving part 78; the first telescopic cylinder 77 has a pair and is respectively disposed on the top of the lifting part 5; the moving part 78 is slidably disposed on the top of the lifting part 5, and the bottom of the moving part 78 is fixedly connected to the sliding box, and the top of the lifting part 5 is provided with a straight groove for limiting the sliding of the moving part 78. When the first telescopic cylinder 77 is activated, the moving part 78 can drive the sliding box and the abutment part 73 to move towards the cleaning roller 72.

[0037] Specifically, in order to adjust the distance between the contact part 73 and the cleaning roller 72, the first telescopic cylinder 77 is activated and drives the moving part 78 to move. When the moving part 78 moves, it can drive the contact part 73 to move synchronously, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the contact part 73 and the collecting part 74, so that the distance between the contact part 73 and the cleaning roller 72 can be adjusted.

[0038] See Figure 6 The cleaning mechanism 7 also includes a first air pump 79 and a collection pipe 791; the first air pump 79 is located on the top of the lifting part 5 and is located beside the first telescopic cylinder 77; the collection pipe 791 is located beside the first air pump 79 and is connected to the end face of the abutment part 73.

[0039] Specifically, when the contact part 73 and the collection part 74 clean the cleaning roller 72, the first air pump 79 starts and draws air. At this time, the collection pipe 791 can adsorb the debris in the cleaning process onto the filter screen 75, thereby preventing the debris from falling out of the outside of the collection part 74 when it is contacted by the contact part 73 and collected by the collection part 74.

[0040] See Figure 7 The waste collection mechanism 8 includes a first linear guide rail 81, a stroke block 82, and a collection box 83. The first linear guide rail 81 has a pair and is respectively disposed at the bottom of the housing 1, and the pair of first linear guide rails 81 are respectively located on both sides of the rotary chuck 2. The stroke block 82 is slidably disposed on the top of the first linear guide rail 81, and the stroke block 82 is connected to the side of the clamping part. The collection box 83 is disposed on the top of the stroke block 82, and the collection box 83 is used to collect waste generated during the grinding process.

[0041] Specifically, when the rotary chuck 2 rotates, one of the clamping parts slidably disposed on the rotary chuck 2 can drive the stroke block 82 to slide synchronously along the first linear guide rail 81 until the collection box 83 is close to the side of the milling cutter to be processed. The inside of the collection box 83 is slidably disposed with a filter plate for filtering waste chips. By pulling the filter plate upward, the waste chips collected inside the collection box 83 can be cleaned.

[0042] See Figure 7 The waste collection mechanism 8 also includes a second air pump 84 and a dust suction pipe 85; the second air pump 84 is located on the top of the stroke block 82 and is located beside the collection box 83, and the second air pump 84 is connected to the collection box 83 by a pipe; the dust suction pipe 85 is located beside the collection box 83.

[0043] Specifically, when the second air pump 84 is started, it can draw air through the dust suction pipe 85 to perform dust suction. At this time, the waste generated during the grinding process can be collected by the dust suction pipe 85 and the collection box 83.

[0044] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
