Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal processing waste collection technology, and relates to an environmentally friendly foldable metal shavings collection basket, which is used to collect waste materials when milling and planing metal parts are processed in metal processing plants, machine tool teaching laboratories and mechanical engineering teaching experimental centers. It has the functions of being environmentally friendly, safe, easy to transport and efficient. Background Technology

[0002] In the current metal part processing applications of milling and planing machines, especially in the machining of metal materials in factories and school workshops, various filamentous, needle-like, and nail-like metal scraps are generated, including edge scraps, filamentous scraps, needle-like scraps, and irregular offcuts. Currently, the recycling and disposal of these scraps generally relies on manual collection and transportation using simple baskets, which easily leads to scattering, injury to others, omissions, and environmental pollution. For example, CN219275352U discloses a metal scrap collection mechanism, including a collection box with a filter box that slides vertically along its inner wall. The top and bottom of the filter box are open, and the outer periphery of the filter box contacts the inner wall of the collection box. An ultrafiltration screen is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the filter box, and the top surface of the ultrafiltration screen has an arc-shaped structure. A detachable filter mechanism is installed on the inner wall of the filter box, and a magnet is detachably installed at the edge of the top surface of the filter mechanism.

[0003] Existing patent CN203680069U discloses a device for filtering metal shavings, including a warp fixing frame, a warp support frame, a weft support frame, a vertical support frame, a fixing device, and a collection plate. The warp fixing frame has two layers, with two frames in each layer. Multiple warp support frames are provided. The weft support frames are fixed to the upper warp fixing frame via the fixing device. The vertical support frames are connected to the warp fixing frame. Multiple fixing devices are provided. The collection plate is placed on the lower warp fixing frame.

[0004] The existing patent CN104477539A discloses a metal chip collection box. The collection box is a closed box structure with a "∩" shaped cross-section. There are two hinged flaps on the top two sides of the collection box. The rear of the collection box has a tailgate for dumping chips. A detachable chip liquid collection box is provided at the bottom of the collection box near the tailgate. The upper part of the tailgate is hinged to the top of the collection box.

[0005] In summary, existing metal processing workshops typically collect metal shavings into trash cans. Once the trash cans are full, they are manually transported and dumped at a designated shavings storage location using handcarts or similar tools. After the trash cans are emptied, they are taken back to be filled with shavings again. During collection and transportation, metal shavings are prone to scattering, which can seriously injure workers. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an environmentally friendly, foldable metal shavings collection basket to solve the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and to design an environmentally friendly foldable metal shavings collection basket for use in milling and planing machine processing, thereby solving the problems of pollution and harm to people in the collection and transportation of metal waste in existing technologies.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an environmentally friendly foldable metal scrap collection basket, comprising a base plate, wherein the four sides and the top of the base plate are provided with several hinges for connection; long side plates and short side plates are sequentially arranged around the top of the base plate, and the long side plates and short side plates are connected to the hinges on the outer side of the base plate; long frame plates and short frame plates are respectively connected to the top of the long side plates and short side plates by hinges; limit blocks are symmetrically installed on the bottom inner side of the long frame plates and short frame plates, and limit grooves are formed on the outer side of the limit blocks; and bent limit shafts are symmetrically installed on the top outer side of the long side plates and short side plates, the top of the limit shafts being... The structure is spherical, and the top of the limiting shaft matches the limiting groove; steel mesh is fixedly installed on the inner sides of both the long and short sides; buckles are fixedly installed on the middle of both sides of the short side plate and the short side plate; and locking blocks are fixedly installed on the middle of both sides of the long side plate and the long side plate, with the locking blocks matching the buckles; a first top plate is hinged to the top of one set of long side plates, and a second top plate is hinged to the other side of the first top plate; a locking buckle is fixedly installed on the top of the outer side of another set of long side plates, with the locking buckle matching the side of the second top plate; a partition net is fixedly installed on the inner sides of the long and short side plates; and casters are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solution of this utility model will now be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0017] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides an environmentally friendly foldable metal dust collection basket. Its main structure includes a base plate 1. Several hinges 3 for connection are provided on the four sides and the top of the base plate 1. Long side plates 2 and short side plates 5 are arranged around the top of the base plate 1 in sequence. The long side plates 2 and short side plates 5 are connected to the hinges 3 on the outside of the base plate 1. Long frame 9 and short frame 10 are respectively connected to the top of the long side plates 2 and short side plates 5 through the hinges 3. A handle 4 is fixedly installed on the outside of one set of long side plates 2.

[0018] In this embodiment, the long side plate 2 and the short side plate 5 are combined with the bottom plate 1 to form a closed frame for collecting waste materials and metal shavings. Several hinges 3 facilitate the connection of adjacent long side plates 2, short side plates 5, long frame 9 and short frame 10, thereby increasing practicality.

[0019] In this embodiment, limit blocks 15 are symmetrically installed on the bottom inner sides of both the long frame 9 and the short frame 10, and limit grooves 16 are formed on the outer side of the limit blocks 15.

[0020] In this embodiment, both the long side plate 2 and the short side plate 5 are symmetrically equipped with bent limiting shafts 6 on their outer tops. The top of the limiting shaft 6 is spherical, and the top of the limiting shaft 6 matches the limiting groove 16.

[0021] In this embodiment, the limiting shaft 6 is matched with the limiting block 15 and the limiting groove 16, thereby limiting the rotation of the long frame 9 and the short frame 10.

[0022] In this embodiment, steel mesh 11 is fixedly installed on the inner side of both the long frame 9 and the short frame 10. Buckles 7 are fixedly installed on the middle of both sides of the short side plate 5 and the short frame 10. Blocks 8 are fixedly installed on the middle of both sides of the long side plate 2 and the long frame 9, and the blocks 8 match the buckles 7.

[0023] In this embodiment, a first top plate 12 is provided on the top of a set of long frame 9 via a hinge 3, and a second top plate 13 is connected to the other side of the first top plate 12 via a hinge 3. A latch 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer side of another set of long frame 9, and the latch 14 matches the side of the second top plate 13.

[0024] The card block 8 and the buckle 7 involved in this embodiment are used to fix the adjacent long frame 9 and short frame 10, or the long side plate 2 and short side plate 5. By installing the steel mesh 11 on the inside of the long frame 9 and short frame 10, it is convenient to use the long frame 9 and short frame 10 for guidance when collecting waste materials, and to increase the collection range. Example

[0025] For the specific structure of this embodiment, please refer to the appendix. Figure 6 With appendix Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that a partition net 17 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the long side plate 2 and the short side plate 5, and casters 18 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the bottom plate 1. By adding the partition net 17 and the casters 18, it is convenient to separate waste materials and metal shavings through the partition net 17, and the casters 18 facilitate the movement of the device.

[0026] In this embodiment, the device is placed at an appropriate position below the scrap outlet of the machine tool processing platform, ensuring that the upper opening of the basket can fully receive the scrap. First, the latch 14 is opened, and the second top plate 13 and the first top plate 12 are flipped over. Then, the latch 7 and the latch block 8 connecting the long frame 9 and the short frame 10 are opened, separating the long frame 9 and the short frame 10. Next, the long frame 9 and the short frame 10 are flipped outwards in sequence, making them radial. The limiting blocks 15 symmetrically installed on the outer bottom of the long frame 9 and the short frame 10 are engaged with the limiting grooves 16, so that they are sleeved with the limiting shaft 6, thereby limiting the long frame 9 and the short frame 10. At this time, The device is placed below the machine tool's worktable, with the base plate 1 facing the location where the waste material falls. During machine operation, the waste material is collected until it fills the device. At this point, the device is removed, and the long frame 9 and short frame 10 are rotated. Then, the long frame 9 and short frame 10 are secured using the latches 7 and latches 8. Next, the first top plate 12 and the second top plate 13 are rotated, and the second top plate 13 and the set of long frame 9 are secured by the latches 14 installed on the side wall of the second top plate 13 and the outer top of the set of long frame 9, thereby achieving the sealing operation of the device. Finally, the device can be pulled using the handle 4.

[0027] In this embodiment, during use, a partition net 17 can be added to the inner side of the long side plate 2 and the short side plate 5, and a caster wheel 18 can be added to the bottom of the base plate 1. When collecting metal scrap using this device, the scrap can be separated by the partition net 17, causing larger pieces of scrap to accumulate on top of the partition net 17. The metal shavings can be filtered by the partition net 17, causing them to accumulate at the bottom of the partition net 17, thereby achieving separate collection of scrap and metal shavings. After collection, the above steps are repeated to seal the device, and the device can be moved using the caster wheel 18. After use, the buckle 7 and the locking block 8 on the side of the device can be completely separated, and then the long side plate 2, the short side plate 5, the long frame 9, and the short frame 10 can be fully opened with the help of several hinges 3 on the outside of the device, so that the device can be fully unfolded, thereby facilitating the transportation, cleaning, maintenance, and replacement of the device.
