Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for aluminum processing, and specifically relates to an aluminum chip collection device for ingot milling machines. Background Technology

[0002] During aluminum milling, high-speed rotating tools generate a large amount of aluminum chips when cutting aluminum. Because aluminum is relatively soft and ductile, it easily forms continuous ribbon-like or curled chips during cutting (especially noticeable with pure aluminum). If machining parameters are inappropriate (such as low speed or high feed rate), aluminum chips can entangle the tool or accumulate on the worktable, affecting machining accuracy and potentially scratching the workpiece surface. Furthermore, aluminum chips mixed with cutting fluid easily adhere to the machine tool's interior, requiring timely cleaning with high-pressure coolant or a chip conveyor; otherwise, they may clog guideways and damage the equipment. Accumulated aluminum chips also pose safety hazards (such as splashing scratches) and environmental problems (oil-containing aluminum chips are hazardous waste), typically requiring baling and recycling for resource reuse.

[0003] In response to the above problems, some aluminum shavings collection devices have appeared on the market. However, existing aluminum shavings collection devices have the following drawbacks: 1) The large accumulation of collected aluminum shavings will cause frequent trolley malfunctions, seriously affecting production efficiency; 2) During the collection process, some aluminum shavings will splash out of the hopper, requiring regular manual cleaning; 3) The splashing of aluminum shavings will cause mixing, thus turning them into waste and reducing their value.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-efficiency and stable aluminum chip collection device to meet production needs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an aluminum chip collection device for ingot milling machines, with the following objectives: 1. To solve the problem of aluminum chip splashing during collection and avoid material mixing; 2. To reduce the failure rate of the aluminum chip collection device and improve production efficiency and equipment stability; 3. To reduce labor costs and equipment maintenance costs; 4. To increase the loading capacity of the waste collection device's hopper; 5. To optimize the quality of the working environment by adding a bypass pipeline for the dust collector to suck up floating dust.

[0006] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:

[0007] An aluminum chip collection device for an ingot milling machine includes a worktable and a belt conveyor;

[0008] Two grooves are provided on the workbench, and a collection hopper is placed in each groove. A portal frame is provided on one side of the workbench, and a support arm is provided on one side of the portal frame. A material turning trough is rotatably connected to the front end of the support arm, and a tilting motor is installed in the middle of the support arm. The tilting motor is used to adjust the tilting trough to tilt to the left or right of the collection hopper.

[0009] The feed end of the belt conveyor is directly opposite the chip suction duct. During milling, aluminum chips generated by milling are transferred to the belt conveyor through the chip suction duct. The discharge end of the belt conveyor is located directly above the turning chute. The discharge end of the belt conveyor is equipped with a dust extraction duct, and a dust collector is installed at the end of the dust extraction duct.

[0010] The aluminum chip collection device is also equipped with a channel detection switch and a controller. The channel detection switch is used to detect the position of the turning trough. The turning motor, belt conveyor, dust collector and channel detection switch are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the grooves is equipped with a vibration mechanism at its bottom, which is used to transmit vibration force to the corresponding collection hopper, thereby ensuring that the aluminum chips in the collection hopper are evenly distributed.

[0012] Furthermore, the vibration mechanism includes a base plate installed at the bottom of the groove, a carrier plate provided above the base plate, the carrier plate being fixedly connected to the base plate by a buffer spring, and a vibration motor installed on the underside of the carrier plate, the vibration motor being electrically connected to the controller.

[0013] This structural design ensures the uniformity of aluminum chips within the hopper, thereby increasing the hopper's loading capacity.

[0014] Furthermore, both the tipping trough and the collecting hopper are arranged in an inverted trapezoidal shape.

[0015] This structural design allows the aluminum chips in the tipping trough to flow smoothly and fall into the collecting hopper.

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The aluminum chip collection device of the present invention has a simple and reliable structure, good stability, high efficiency, and zero failures.

[0018] 2. The aluminum chip collection device of the present invention is equipped with a flipping motor and a flipping trough. The flipping motor is equipped with a brake and can be stopped at any position according to the usage requirements. At the same time, the flipping motor is controlled by a frequency converter and the flipping speed is adjustable. The flipping trough has an outer higher and inner lower outer dimension, and there is no aluminum chip leakage during online flipping, which can avoid the generation of mixed materials.

[0019] 3. The aluminum chip collection device of the present invention is equipped with a vibrating motor and a spring. The vibrating motor is controlled by a frequency converter, and the vibration frequency can be adjusted according to the usage. The vibration force is transmitted to the collection hopper through the vibrating motor, so that the aluminum chips in the collection hopper are evenly distributed, thereby increasing the loading capacity of the collection hopper and the collection efficiency is higher.

[0020] 4. The aluminum chip collection device of the present invention allows for online replacement of the collection hopper without affecting production continuity.

[0021] 5. The aluminum shavings collection device of the present invention is equipped with a dust suction duct and a dust collector, which can remove dust in the aluminum shavings discharge area and optimize the quality of the working environment. Attached Figure Description

[0031] For example Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses an aluminum chip collection device for an ingot milling machine, including a worktable 1 and a belt conveyor 2. The worktable 1 has two grooves, each containing a collection hopper 3. A portal frame is installed on the rear side of the worktable 1, and a support arm 4 is fixedly connected to the front side of the portal frame. A tilting trough 5 is rotatably connected to the front end of the support arm 4. A tilting motor 6 is installed in the middle of the support arm 4. The tilting motor 6 is used to adjust the tilting trough 5 to tilt to the left or right of the collection hopper 3. In this embodiment, the tilting motor 6 is equipped with a brake. The feed end of the belt conveyor 2 is directly opposite the chip suction duct. The aluminum chips generated during milling are transferred to the belt conveyor 2 through the chip suction duct. The discharge end of the belt conveyor 2 is located directly above the tilting trough 5. A dust extraction duct 7 is installed at the discharge end of the belt conveyor 2, and a dust collector is installed at the end of the dust extraction duct 7.

[0032] The aluminum chip collection device of this utility model is also equipped with a channel detection switch and a controller. The channel detection switch is used to detect the position of the turning trough 5. The turning motor 6, belt conveyor 2, dust collector and channel detection switch are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, a vibration mechanism is installed at the bottom of each groove. The vibration mechanism is used to transmit vibration force to the corresponding collection hopper 3, thereby distributing aluminum chips evenly within the collection hopper 3. The vibration mechanism in this embodiment includes a base plate 8 installed at the bottom of the groove, a carrier plate 9 disposed above the base plate 8, the carrier plate 9 being fixedly connected to the base plate 8 by a number of buffer springs 10, and a vibration motor 11 installed on the underside of the carrier plate 9. The vibration motor 11 is electrically connected to the controller.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, both the tipping trough 5 and the collecting hopper 3 are arranged in an inverted trapezoidal shape.

[0035] The usage process of this aluminum chip collection device is as follows:

[0036] First, the aluminum chip collection device of this invention is started by the controller. During the collection process, the belt conveyor 2, dust collector, and channel detection switch remain in working condition. During milling, the aluminum chips generated are transported to the belt conveyor 2 via the chip suction duct. The belt conveyor 2 then transports the aluminum chips to the discharge port. The dust collector is activated in real time; dust generated in the aluminum chip discharge port area is drawn into the dust collector via the dust suction duct 7 for filtration before being discharged. After dust removal, the aluminum chips at the discharge port automatically fall into the tipping trough 5. The tipping motor 6 controls the tipping trough 5 to tilt towards one side of the collection hopper 3, so that the aluminum chips in the tipping trough 5 automatically fall into the corresponding collection hopper 3. The channel detection switch monitors the position of the tipping trough 5 in real time. When the tipping trough 5 tilts to one side, the channel detection switch sends an electrical signal to the controller. After receiving the signal, the controller sends a control signal to the corresponding vibration motor 11. The vibration motor 11 transmits vibration force to the corresponding collection hopper 3, thereby evenly distributing the aluminum chips in the collection hopper 3 and increasing the loading capacity of the collection hopper 3. When one side of the collecting hopper 3 is full, the online tilting motor 6 flips the flow channel to the other side to continue collecting aluminum chips, and the collection process is the same as above. At the same time, the collecting hopper 3 can be replaced online.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
