[0026] Reference Figures 1-6A horizontal machining center spray chip removal device includes a bracket 3 and a fixed ring 1. A rotating ring 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the bracket 3. The rotating ring 2 is rotatably installed in the fixed ring 1. A movable seat 7 is slidably installed on the bracket 3 via a slide rail 6. An installation plate 8 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the movable seat 7. Multiple water pipes 9 are fixedly connected to one side of the installation plate 8. Each water pipe 9 is equipped with a spray nozzle 14.
[0027] A steering mechanism is provided on the other side of the mounting plate 8. The steering mechanism includes a linkage shaft 12. One end of the linkage shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 7, and the other end of the linkage shaft 12 is slidably connected to the surface of the mounting plate 8. A moving mechanism is provided on the side of the movable seat 7 near the water pipe 9. The moving mechanism includes two rolling gears 17, one above the other. A first tooth groove 15 is provided on the edge of the bracket 3. The rolling gears 17 mesh with the first tooth groove 15. The moving mechanism drives the movable seat 7 to move up and down relative to the slide rail 6.
[0028] The movable base 7 has a through groove through which the slide rail 6 passes. A first motor 4 is fixedly connected to the fixed ring 1, and a drive gear 5 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the first motor 4. A second toothed groove is provided on the rotating ring 2, and the drive gear 5 meshes with the second toothed groove. During cleaning, the first motor 4 drives the drive gear 5 to rotate through its drive end. As the drive gear 5 rotates, it drives the rotating ring 2 to rotate within the fixed ring 1, thereby cleaning the machining center in a circular motion.
[0029] When using this device, the fixed ring 1 is fixedly installed on the horizontal machining center. The fixed installation angle of the fixed ring 1 can be changed according to the actual situation to facilitate spraying. Each water pipe 9 is connected to a water tank. The water pipe 9 is a flexible hose. The water pump in the water tank delivers water into the water pipe 9 and then sprays it out through each nozzle 14. During the spraying process, the machined part is located at the center of the rotating ring 2. The first motor 4 drives the drive gear 5 to rotate through the drive end. As the drive gear 5 rotates, it can drive the rotating ring 2 to rotate relative to the fixed ring 1. The rotation of the rotating ring 2 can drive the support 3 to rotate. When the support 3 rotates, the nozzle 14 can always spray towards the center during the circling process, so as to always spray and clean the part at the center position. The rotation range of the rotating ring 2 relative to the fixed ring 1 is controllable according to the specific structure of the horizontal machining center and the position of the part.
[0030] The steering mechanism also includes a second motor 10 and a lead screw 11. One side of the second motor 10 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 7 via a rotating shaft. The drive end of the second motor 10 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 11. A slider 13 is slidably connected to the linkage shaft 12, and the lead screw 11 is threaded through the slider 13. The second motor 10 can drive the lead screw 11 to rotate via its drive end. As the lead screw 11 rotates, it can change the position of the slider 13 relative to the lead screw 11. The change in position will cause the slider 13 to slide relative to the linkage shaft 12. Since the connection point between the second motor 10 and the movable seat 7 is fixed, the angle between the lead screw 11 and the linkage shaft 12 will change. The change in the angle of the linkage shaft 12 will change the connection point with the mounting plate 8, thereby causing the mounting plate 8 to rotate. The rotation of the mounting plate 8 will change the orientation of each nozzle 14, ultimately allowing the mounting plate 8 to deflect upwards or downwards. The water sprayed by the nozzles 14 can then move upwards or downwards, achieving a cleaning effect on the machining center.
[0031] Rolling gears 17 are rotatably mounted on the movable base 7. A deflection shaft 19 is fixedly connected to one side of each rolling gear 17, and a linkage rod 18 connects the two deflection shafts 19. A third motor 16 is fixedly connected to the movable base 7, and a drive shaft 20 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the third motor 16. The end of the drive shaft 20 away from the third motor 16 is rotatably connected to the linkage rod 18. The deflection shafts 19 and the drive shaft 20 are set at the same angle. The third motor 16 drives the drive shaft 20 to rotate via its drive end. The drive shaft 20 drives the linkage rod 18 to move. When the linkage rod 18 moves, it changes the angle of the deflection shafts 19, which in turn causes each deflection shaft 19 to rotate via the linkage rod 18, ultimately causing the rolling gears 17 to rotate. Since the upper and lower rolling gears 17 rotate in the same direction, the movable base 7 can be moved up and down by the moving mechanism to clean different height positions of the machining center.
[0032] The mounting plate 8 has a sliding groove, and a round block is provided at the end of the linkage shaft 12. The round block is slidably installed in the sliding groove. The linkage shaft 12 and the mounting plate 8 are connected by the round block, which can slide and rotate in the sliding groove.
[0033] There are three nozzles 14, arranged vertically along the mounting plate 8, with each nozzle 14 facing a different direction. The three nozzles 14, each facing a different direction, ensure effective spraying.
[0034] As the rotating ring 2 rotates, the third motor 16 drives the drive shaft 20 to rotate through the drive end according to the specific size of the processed parts. The rotation of the drive shaft 20 can drive the linkage rod 18 to deflect. When the linkage rod 18 deflects, the deflection shaft 19 connected to its two ends will rotate accordingly. The rotation of the deflection shaft 19 can drive the rolling gear 17 to rotate. The rolling gear 17 meshes with the first tooth groove 15. The moving seat 7 can slide up and down along the slide rail 6. Thus, as the rolling gear 17 rotates, it can drive the moving seat 7 to move up and down to adapt to the size of the parts and spray chips from top to bottom.
[0035] To ensure thorough localized cleaning of parts by spraying, the angle of the mounting plate 8 can be changed, thus altering the orientation angle of each nozzle 14. By repeatedly swinging the mounting plate 8 up and down, the sprayed water can effectively treat corners, making cleaning more effective through a dynamic approach. Activating the second motor 10 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate via its drive end. The rotation of the lead screw 11 changes the position of the threaded slider 13. This change in the vertical position of the slider 13 affects its position relative to the linkage shaft 12, causing the slider 13 to... The sliding motion of the slider 13 on the linkage shaft 12 also affects the angle of the linkage shaft 12. The change in the angle of the linkage shaft 12 directly affects the angle of the mounting plate 8, thereby changing the angle of the mounting plate 8 and thus changing the orientation of the nozzle 14. When the moving seat 7 is moved to the highest point, the angle of the mounting plate 8 is downward, and the angles of the three nozzles 14 are different. The nozzles 14 can spray the highest point of the part. Conversely, when the moving seat 7 is moved to the lowest point, the angle of the mounting plate 8 is upward, and the nozzles 14 can spray the lowest point of the part.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
