Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of CNC machining center structure technology, and in particular relates to a CNC machining center that prevents the accumulation of waste residue. Background Technology

[0002] A CNC machining center is a high-efficiency automated machine tool composed of mechanical equipment and a CNC system, suitable for machining complex parts. CNC machining centers are among the world's most produced and widely used CNC machine tools. They possess strong comprehensive machining capabilities, allowing for a significant amount of machining to be completed in a single workpiece setup, with high machining accuracy. However, current CNC machining centers typically expose the operator to the elements during machining, which can easily lead to machining debris being inhaled and is difficult to clean.

[0003] Chinese patent CN217728060U discloses a CNC horizontal machining center for preventing the accumulation of waste residue, including a machine body, a protective cover fixedly installed on the machine body, an opening on the machine body, a plurality of induced draft fans fixedly installed in the opening, a receiving box movably installed on the bottom side of the machine body, and an extraction pump fixedly installed on the right side of the protective cover.

[0004] However, the aforementioned patents have the following problems:

[0005] The aforementioned patent utilizes the combined action of multiple induced draft fans, receiving boxes, extraction pumps, first pipes, second pipes, connecting pipes, multiple dust suction heads, rotating belts, strips, round shafts, and vertical plates to conveniently collect the metal debris generated during processing. However, when processing metal workpieces, the induced draft fans must be very close to collect the metal debris, and the metal debris that falls onto the surface of the processing equipment is difficult to clean without rinsing. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides a CNC machining center to prevent the accumulation of waste residue. It aims to solve the problem that when machining metal workpieces, metal chips generated can only be sucked up by the induced draft fan at a very close distance, and metal chips that fall onto the surface of the machining equipment are difficult to clean without rinsing.

[0007] This utility model is implemented as follows: a CNC machining center for preventing the accumulation of waste residue includes a mounting cylinder, a mounting plate fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting cylinder, a plurality of mounting holes opened on the surface of the mounting plate, and a collection mechanism provided at the bottom of the mounting cylinder for collecting the waste generated during processing.

[0008] The collection mechanism includes a guide chamber and a stepper motor. The guide chamber is funnel-shaped and located at the bottom of the mounting cylinder. Multiple first mounting components are fixedly connected between the guide chamber and the mounting cylinder. A collection chamber is located at the bottom of the guide chamber. Multiple second mounting components are fixedly connected between the guide chamber and the collection chamber. A filter cylinder is located in the middle of the guide chamber. An annular rotating chamber is rotatably arranged between the guide chamber and the mounting cylinder. A first through groove is opened on the outer periphery of the annular rotating chamber. A driven toothed ring is fixedly connected to the top of the annular rotating chamber. Multiple scrapers are fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular rotating chamber. Each of the multiple scrapers has a spray hole on one side.

[0009] The outer periphery of the guide chamber is fixedly connected to an annular fixed chamber. The inner periphery of the annular fixed chamber is provided with a second through groove. Multiple through holes are provided between the second through groove and the first through groove. All of the multiple through holes penetrate the guide chamber. The bottom of the annular fixed chamber is provided with a first water pump. The input end of the first water pump is connected to the collection chamber with a first water inlet pipe. The output end of the first water pump is connected to the annular fixed chamber with a first water outlet pipe.

[0010] The side wall of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the guide chamber, and the output shaft of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to a drive gear, the bottom of which meshes with a driven gear ring.

[0011] The collection chamber initially contains cleaning water. By starting a stepper motor, the drive gear rotates, which in turn drives the annular rotating chamber and multiple scrapers at its bottom via a driven gear ring. The rotating scrapers clean metal debris from the surface of the guide chamber. Simultaneously, by starting a first water pump, water is pumped into the collection chamber through the first inlet pipe and out through the first outlet pipe to the annular fixed chamber. Water from the annular fixed chamber enters the annular rotating chamber through multiple through-holes. Then, water from the annular rotating chamber is sprayed out through nozzles to rinse the metal debris cleaned by the scrapers. This causes the incoming water and debris to flow along the inclined guide chamber into the filter cartridge for collection, while the water flows back to the collection chamber for recycling.

[0012] Preferably, the installation cylinder is equipped with a spraying component, which includes a receiving chamber and a second water pump. The receiving chamber is disposed inside the installation cylinder, and its top is fixedly connected to the top wall inside the installation cylinder. Multiple spray heads are connected to the bottom of the receiving chamber. The side wall of the second water pump is fixedly connected to the side wall of the installation cylinder. A second water inlet pipe is connected between the input end of the second water pump and the collection chamber, and a second water outlet pipe is connected between the output end of the second water pump and the receiving chamber.

[0013] By activating the second water pump, water can be pumped into the collection chamber through the second inlet pipe and pumped out through the first outlet pipe into the receiving chamber. The receiving chamber will then spray water through multiple spray nozzles at the bottom, thereby washing away metal shavings on the surface of the processing table of the processing equipment set inside the mounting cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, the mounting cylinder is hinged to a pick-up and put-down door on its side wall, and the surface of the pick-up and put-down door is provided with an observation window;

[0015] By setting an observation window on the surface of the loading and unloading door, the processing status of the workpiece inside the mounting cylinder can be easily observed.

[0016] Preferably, the filter cartridge is slidably connected to the guide chamber, a limit ring is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the top of the filter cartridge, and two lifting parts are fixedly connected to the top of the limit ring;

[0017] The filter cartridge is secured in the middle of the guide chamber by a limiting ring, and can be easily removed by pulling the lifting component.

[0018] Preferably, the first water inlet pipe is threaded to the end of a first filter sleeve, and the second water inlet pipe is threaded to the end of a second filter sleeve.

[0019] By installing filter sleeves at the ends of the first and second water inlet pipes, the water in the collection chamber can be further filtered, thereby preventing a large amount of metal debris from entering and damaging the first and second water pumps.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] By setting up a collection mechanism, water-ingress debris generated during processing inside the installation cylinder can be collected through the guide chamber. At the same time, the rotating scraper and the sprayed water can be used to rinse and clean the water-ingress debris in the guide chamber, and the water used for cleaning can be recycled repeatedly.
