Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of CNC machine tools, and more particularly to a material unloading device for a machine tool. Background Technology
[0002] CNC machine tools, as one of the core equipment in modern manufacturing, are widely used in the field of machining. Among them, CNC lathes, with their high efficiency and precision machining capabilities, have become the main equipment for machining shaft and disc parts. With the rapid development of the manufacturing industry, the application scope of CNC lathes continues to expand, and their degree of automation and production efficiency have a significant impact on the competitiveness of enterprises.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN211489632U discloses a self-propelled horizontal lathe, including a lathe body, a motor mounted on the lathe body, a lead screw connected to the output shaft of the motor, a slide box threadedly connected to the lead screw, the slide box being movably mounted on the lathe body, a drill bit or cutting tool connected to the upper end of the slide box, a chuck seat fixed on the lathe body opposite the drill bit or cutting tool, and also includes a limit switch, the limit switch being electrically connected to the motor and the power supply respectively, the limit switch being variably mounted on the lathe body on the lower front side of the slide box, the slide box being able to collide with the limit switch during movement.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, during the unloading process, manual collection is typically employed. Operators stand beside the machine tool, removing each finished workpiece one by one and placing it into a collection container. This method suffers from high manual involvement, high labor intensity, and low unloading efficiency. Especially during prolonged continuous operation, manual workpiece collection can easily lead to operator fatigue, further impacting unloading efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to reduce the manpower required for material discharge and improve discharge efficiency, this application provides a machine tool discharge device.
[0006] The material discharge device for a machine tool provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A material discharge device for a machine tool includes a frame, a receiving plate, a transport component, and a collection box. The receiving plate is connected to the frame, with one end of the receiving plate disposed near the machine tool body and the other end disposed near the transport component. The receiving plate is used to guide materials to the transport component, and the transport component is used to transport the materials to the collection box.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, after the material is processed, it falls onto the receiving plate. The material moves along the receiving plate and is guided to the transport component. The transport component will then transport the material and allow it to enter the collection box, thereby facilitating the discharge and collection of the material, reducing the labor costs required for material discharge, and improving discharge efficiency.
[0009] Optionally, the frame is connected to a first motor, which is used to drive the receiving plate to rotate and drive the receiving plate to move closer to or away from the machine tool body.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when processing materials, the receiving plate is tilted downwards at the end closest to the machine tool body, thereby reducing the occurrence of metal chips falling onto the receiving plate during processing and reducing the occurrence of metal chips entering the collection box. After the material processing is completed, the first motor drives the receiving plate to rotate, so that one end of the receiving plate is close to the machine tool body and the other end of the receiving plate is tilted downwards, thereby facilitating the movement of materials along the receiving plate and close to the transport components.
[0011] Optionally, the receiving plate has several sieve holes.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, some metal fragments are easily dripped onto the receiving plate along with the material. The addition of screen holes allows some metal fragments to pass through the screen holes and move away from the receiving plate as the material moves along it, thereby reducing the amount of metal fragments entering the collection box.
[0013] Optionally, the frame is connected to a striking block and a moving component. The moving component is used to move the striking block horizontally and move the striking block closer to or away from the receiving plate. The striking block is used to strike the receiving plate.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the material falls onto the receiving plate, as the material moves along the receiving plate, the moving component drives the striking block to move horizontally, causing the striking block to strike the receiving plate, thereby causing the receiving plate to vibrate and the material on the receiving plate to vibrate, accelerating the movement of the material, reducing the accumulation of material on the receiving plate, and thus improving the discharge efficiency.
[0015] Optionally, the frame has a movable hole located on one side of the receiving plate along its width direction. The length direction of the movable hole is consistent with the width direction of the receiving plate. The movable component includes a second motor, a connecting rod, a rotating rod, and a slider. The second motor is connected to the frame. One end of the rotating rod is connected to the output shaft of the second motor, and the other end of the rotating rod is hinged to one end of the connecting rod. The end of the connecting rod away from the rotating rod is hinged to the slider. The slider is slidably connected within the movable hole along the width direction of the receiving plate. The striking block is connected to the slider.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the second motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod to move. The connecting rod pushes the slider to slide along the width of the receiving plate and connect to the moving hole. The slider drives the striking block to move, so that the striking block strikes the receiving plate, thereby causing the receiving plate to vibrate and thus accelerating the material discharge.
[0017] Optionally, the transport component includes a conveyor belt connected to a frame. The length direction of the conveyor belt is consistent with the width direction of the receiving plate. One end of the conveyor belt is located below the receiving plate. The top of the collection box is open. The other end of the conveyor belt is located above the collection box. The frame is connected to a baffle. The length direction of the baffle is consistent with the length direction of the conveyor belt. The baffle is located on the top of the conveyor belt along its width direction and away from the receiving plate.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the material moves along the receiving plate and falls to the top of the conveyor belt. The addition of baffles reduces the occurrence of material falling from the top of the conveyor belt.
[0019] Optionally, the baffle is connected to a plurality of nozzles, which are distributed sequentially at intervals along the length of the baffle. Each nozzle is connected to an air vent pipe for supplying air into the nozzle, and the air outlet of the nozzle is oriented toward the conveyor belt.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when discharging, the material moves along the receiving plate to the top of the conveyor belt. When the conveyor belt drives the material to move, the nozzle blows air towards the conveyor belt to blow away the lighter impurities and make the impurities move away from the conveyor belt.
[0021] Optionally, the frame is connected to a cleaning box, the cleaning box has an opening at the top, and the cleaning box is located below the receiving plate.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the material moves along the receiving plate, some metal fragments pass through the screen holes and move away from the receiving plate, and the metal fragments fall into the cleaning box, thereby reducing the amount of metal fragments falling into the surrounding environment and reducing the pollution caused by metal fragments to the surrounding environment.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. After the material is processed, it falls onto the receiving plate. The material moves along the receiving plate and is guided to the transport component. The transport component will carry the material and allow it to enter the collection box, which facilitates the discharge and collection of the material, reduces the labor cost required for material discharge, and improves discharge efficiency.
[0025] 2. When processing materials, the receiving plate is tilted downwards at the end closest to the machine tool body to reduce the amount of metal scraps falling onto the receiving plate and entering the collection box. After the material is processed, the first motor drives the receiving plate to rotate, so that one end of the receiving plate is close to the machine tool body and the other end is tilted downwards, which facilitates the movement of materials along the receiving plate and closer to the transport components.
[0026] 3. The second motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod to move. The connecting rod pushes the slider to slide along the width of the receiving plate and connect to the moving hole. The slider drives the striking block to move, which causes the striking block to strike the receiving plate, thereby causing the receiving plate to vibrate and thus accelerating the material discharge.

Detailed Implementation
[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0033] This application discloses a material unloading device for a machine tool. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 A material discharge device for a machine tool includes a frame 100, a receiving plate 200 connected to the frame 100, and a collection box 300. One end of the receiving plate 200 is positioned close to the machine tool body along its length, and the other end is positioned close to the collection box 300. The collection box 300 has an opening at its top. The receiving plate 200 is used to guide materials into the collection box 300. After processing, the material falls onto the receiving plate 200, moves along the receiving plate 200, and enters the collection box 300. This facilitates material discharge and collection, thereby reducing the labor costs required for material discharge and improving discharge efficiency.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The frame 100 is connected to a first motor 400, which is located on one side of the receiving plate 200 along the width direction of the receiving plate 200. The output shaft of the first motor 400 is connected to a disc 410, and the central axis of the disc 410 is collinear with the central axis of the output shaft of the first motor 400. A support rod 420 is connected to the eccentric part of the disc 410. The length direction of the support rod 420 is consistent with the width direction of the receiving plate 200, and the support rod 420 is connected to the bottom of the receiving plate 200.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The receiving plate 200 has partitions 210 connected to both ends along its width direction. The length direction of the partitions 210 is consistent with the length direction of the receiving plate 200, and the partitions 210 are connected to the top of the receiving plate 200. The receiving plate 200 has several sieve holes 220, which are located at a section of the receiving plate 200 away from the machine tool body. The frame 100 is connected to a cleaning box 500. The length direction of the cleaning box 500 is consistent with the width direction of the receiving plate 200. The cleaning box 500 has an opening at the top and is located below the receiving plate 200, with the sieve holes 220 located directly above the cleaning box 500. In use, the first motor 400 drives the disc 410 to rotate, which in turn drives the support rod 420 and the receiving plate 200 to rotate, so that the receiving plate 200 is tilted, making it easier for the material to move along the receiving plate 200 and approach the collection box 300. When the material moves on the receiving plate 200, the metal debris moves away from the receiving plate 200 through the screen holes 220, thereby reducing the amount of metal debris entering the collection box 300.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The frame 100 is connected to a striking block 600 and a moving assembly 700. The frame 100 has a moving hole 110 located on one side of the receiving plate 200 along its width direction, with the length direction of the moving hole 110 aligned with the width direction of the receiving plate 200. The moving assembly 700 includes a second motor 710, a connecting rod 740, a rotating rod 720, and a slider 730. The second motor 710 is connected to the frame 100. One end of the rotating rod 720 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 710, and the other end of the rotating rod 720 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 740. The end of the connecting rod 740 away from the rotating rod 720 is hinged to the slider 730. The slider 730 is slidably connected within the moving hole 110 along the width direction of the receiving plate 200. The striking block 600 is connected to the top of the slider 730. A buffer layer 610, made of rubber, is connected to the side of the striking block 600 near the receiving plate 200. The buffer layer 610 is used to contact the receiving plate 200. In use, the striking block 600 strikes the receiving plate 200, causing the receiving plate 200 to vibrate, thereby accelerating the movement of materials and improving the discharge efficiency.
[0037] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The frame 100 is connected to a transport assembly 800, which is used to guide materials into the collection box 300. The transport assembly 800 includes a conveyor belt 810 and a guide plate 820. The length direction of the conveyor belt 810 is consistent with the width direction of the receiving plate 200. One end of the conveyor belt 810 along its length direction is close to the receiving plate 200 and the other end is away from the locomotive body.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 As shown in Figure 3, a baffle 830 is provided on the top of the conveyor belt 810. The baffle 830 is connected to the frame 100, and its length direction is consistent with that of the conveyor belt 810. The baffle 830 is located on the side of the conveyor belt 810 along its width direction and away from the receiving plate 200. Several nozzles 840 are connected to the baffle 830. The nozzles 840 are distributed sequentially at intervals along the length direction of the baffle 830, and their air outlets face the conveyor belt 810. The nozzles 840 are connected to air pipes 850. A connecting pipe 860 is provided on the other side of the air pipe 850 away from the nozzles 840. All air pipes 850 are connected to the connecting pipe 860, and the other end of the connecting pipe 860 is connected to a vacuum pump 870.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The guide plate 820 is located on the side of the conveyor belt 810 away from the receiving plate 200, and is positioned below the conveyor belt 810. The length direction of the guide plate 820 is consistent with the length direction of the receiving plate 200. The guide plate 820 is inclined downwards along its length at the end away from the conveyor belt 810. The end of the guide plate 820 away from the conveyor belt 810 is located above the collection box 300. When the conveyor belt 810 transports materials, the nozzle 840 blows air towards the conveyor belt 810 to agitate metal debris, causing some of the metal debris to move away from the conveyor belt 810, thereby further reducing the amount of metal debris entering the collection box 300.
[0040] The implementation principle of the material discharge device of a machine tool according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: After the material is processed, the material falls onto the receiving plate 200 and moves along the receiving plate 200. The material moves to the top of the conveyor belt 810, and the conveyor belt 810 drives the material to move closer to the guide plate 820. When the material falls onto the guide plate 820, the material moves along the guide plate 820 and falls into the collection box 300, thereby facilitating the discharge and collection of materials, reducing the labor cost required in the material discharge process, and improving the discharge efficiency.
[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
