[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a lathe waste chip cleaning device, including a lathe operating table 1; in order to solve the problem that waste chips and waste liquid are mixed and difficult to handle, requiring special cleaning personnel and inconvenient to use, the lathe operating table 1 has a drain outlet 101 at the top, and a ramp 103 is provided in the drain outlet 101. The lathe operating table 1 has a lower chamber 102 inside, and a waste chip collection box 2 and a cutting fluid collection tank 3 are provided in the lower chamber 102. The waste chip collection box 2 and the cutting fluid collection tank 3 are provided with a separation mechanism 4. The waste chips and cutting fluid generated by the lathe operation are mixed and enter the lower chamber 102 through the drain outlet 101. The drain outlet 101 has a ramp 103 so that the waste chip and cutting fluid mixture can fall smoothly into the lower chamber 102 along the slope. The waste chip and cutting fluid mixture is separated in the lower chamber 102 by the separation mechanism 4, so that the cutting fluid is separated.

[0023] To prevent waste chips from remaining on the receiving plate 401 during filtration, the separation mechanism 4 includes a receiving plate 401 installed inside the drop chamber 102. The receiving plate 401 is located above the cutting fluid collection tank 3 and has a slope. The waste chip collection box 2 is located on the lower side of the receiving plate 401. The receiving plate 401 has sieve holes 402 and a scraper 403 is installed on it. A scraper extension rod 404 is installed on the top of the scraper 403, allowing the waste chip and cutting fluid mixture to fall smoothly along the slope. The cutting fluid enters the drop chamber 102 and reaches the receiving plate 401. Through the sieve holes 402 on the receiving plate 401, the cutting fluid falls into the cutting fluid collection tank 3 below. The waste chips are left above the receiving plate 401. The receiving plate 401 also has a slope. The larger waste chips fall into the waste chip collection box 2 along the receiving plate 401 under the action of their own gravity. Some smaller waste chips may remain on the receiving plate 401. Then, the scraper 403 cleans the waste chips remaining on the receiving plate 401 from high to low into the waste chip collection box 2.

[0024] To move the scraper 403 from the high point to the low point of the receiving plate 401, a drive motor 405 is installed on the top of the inner wall of the dropping chamber 102. A screw 406 is installed on the drive motor 405, and a connecting kit 407 is installed on the screw 406. The connecting kit 407 is installed on the top of the scraper telescopic rod 404. A limiting slide rod 408 is installed on the top of the inner wall of the dropping chamber 102. A slide rod hole 409 is opened on the connecting kit 407, and the limiting slide rod 408 is installed in the slide rod hole 409. A screw hole 410 is opened on the connecting kit 407, and the screw 406 is installed in the screw hole 410. The screw 406 and the screw... The rod hole 410 is threaded. Larger waste chips fall into the waste chip collection box 2 along the receiving plate 401 under their own weight. Some smaller waste chips may remain on the receiving plate 401. The drive motor 405 drives the screw 406 to rotate. Under the combined action of the screw 406, the screw hole 410, the limiting slide rod 408, and the slide rod hole 409, the connecting kit 407 drives the scraper 403 to move from the higher side to the lower side of the receiving plate 401. During the movement of the scraper 403, the waste chips remaining on the receiving plate 401 are cleaned from high to low and sent into the waste chip collection box 2.

[0025] In order for the scraper 403 to adhere to the receiving plate 401 and scrape away the waste residue left on the receiving plate 401, a telescopic groove 411 is provided in the telescopic rod 404 of the scraper. A movable rod 412 is installed in the telescopic groove 411 and is mounted on the scraper 403. A downward pressure spring 413 is installed in the telescopic groove 411. One end of the downward pressure spring 413 is mounted on the movable rod 412, and the other end of the downward pressure spring 413 is mounted on the inner wall of the telescopic groove 411. During the movement of the scraper 403, under the action of the downward pressure spring 413 in the telescopic groove 411, the scraper 403 continuously adheres to the upper surface of the receiving plate 401, and cleans the waste residue remaining on the receiving plate 401 from high to low into the waste collection box 2.

[0026] The working principle is as follows: When the lathe is working, the waste chips mixed with cutting fluid enter the lower chamber 102 from the drain 101. The ramp 103 in the drain 101 ensures that the waste chips and cutting fluid mixture can fall smoothly into the lower chamber 102 along the slope and reach the receiving plate 401. Through the screen holes 402 opened on the receiving plate 401, the cutting fluid falls to the cutting fluid collection tank 3 below. The waste chips are left above the receiving plate 401. The receiving plate 401 also has a slope. Larger waste chips fall into the waste chip collection box 2 along the receiving plate 401 under the action of their own gravity. Some smaller waste chips may remain on the receiving plate 401. On 01, the drive motor 405 drives the screw 406 to rotate. Under the combined action of the screw 406, the screw hole 410, the limiting slide rod 408, and the slide rod hole 409, the connecting kit 407 drives the scraper 403 to move from the higher side to the lower side of the receiving plate 401. During the movement of the scraper 403, under the action of the spring 413 in the telescopic groove 411, the scraper 403 continuously adheres to the upper surface of the receiving plate 401, cleaning the waste residue on the receiving plate 401 from high to low into the waste collection box 2. At this point, the waste is separated from the cutting fluid, making it convenient for the waste and cutting fluid to be processed separately.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
