Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chip washing equipment for CNC machining center chassis, specifically a chip washing device for CNC machining center chassis. Background Technology
[0002] The chassis of a CNC machining center, often referred to as the base, is the basic support structure of the entire equipment. Located at the bottom of the equipment, the chassis bears the weight of the entire machining center, ensuring the stability and safety of the equipment. When machining parts, the CNC center generates a large amount of metal shavings. These shavings accumulate on the chassis, affecting the stability of the worktable and thus the machining accuracy. By rinsing off the shavings, the worktable can be kept clean and flat, providing a stable foundation for machining and improving machining accuracy.
[0003] Currently, the chassis of CNC machining centers uses a water pump to deliver flushing water and sprays nozzles to wash away debris. Although this method can effectively remove debris from the worktable, the debris washed to the bottom of the chassis still needs to be cleaned manually or by a chip conveyor. Manual cleaning is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. While using a chip conveyor can improve cleaning efficiency and reduce labor intensity, it cannot separate the flushing water, resulting in a large waste of flushing water.
[0004] In summary, this utility model provides a chip flushing device for the chassis of a CNC machining center to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A chip flushing device for a CNC machining center chassis includes a chassis assembly comprising a base for equipment support, a chip collection chamber for chip collection, an inclined plate for chip guidance, a secondary water tank for collecting flushing water, a main water tank for storing collected water, and a filter screen for intercepting chips; a flushing assembly comprising a pump for conveying flushing water, a diversion pipe and nozzles for flushing chips, and a conveying pipe for connecting the pump and the diversion pipe; and a chip removal assembly comprising a conveying trough and shaftless helical blades for conveying chips, a drive motor and planetary reducer for powering the shaftless helical blades, and a chip removal pipe for discharging chips.
[0007] Furthermore, in this utility model, chip collection chambers are provided on both sides of the top of the base, and inclined plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the chip collection chamber, and the chip collection chamber is also connected to the inner cavity of the conveying trough.
[0008] Furthermore, in this utility model, the auxiliary water tank is located at the front end of the inner cavity of the base, the main water tank is located at the rear end of the inner cavity of the base, the filter screen is located between the auxiliary water tank and the main water tank, and the inner cavities of the auxiliary water tank and the main water tank are connected.
[0009] Furthermore, in this utility model, the delivery pump is fixed to one side of the base, the nozzle is connected to the diversion pipe, and the diversion pipe is fixed to the surface of the inclined plate.
[0010] Furthermore, in this utility model, one end of the conveying pipe is connected to the outlet of the conveying pump, the other end of the conveying pipe is connected to the diversion pipe, and the inlet of the conveying pump is connected to the inner cavity of the main water tank through a pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, in this utility model, the conveying trough is located at the upper end of the inner cavity of the auxiliary water tank, and several through holes are provided at the bottom of the conveying trough. The shaftless spiral blade is movably connected to the inner cavity of the conveying trough through the bearing. One end of the conveying trough extends through to the outside of the base and is connected to the chip removal pipe.
[0012] Furthermore, in this utility model, the planetary reducer is fixed to one side of the base, the drive motor is fixed to the planetary reducer by bolts, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the input shaft of the planetary reducer. The output shaft of the planetary reducer passes through the inner cavity of the conveying groove and is connected to the shaftless helical blade.
[0013] Beneficial effects: This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This invention features chip collection chambers on both sides of the base top, with inclined plates fixed to both sides of the chambers. This allows chips generated during processing to slide to the bottom of the chip collection chambers for easy collection. Simultaneously, a distribution pipe and nozzles are fixed to the surface of the inclined plates. A pump delivers water from the main water tank to the distribution pipe, which is then sprayed out by the nozzles to rinse the chips on the inclined plates. This effectively flushes the chips into the chip collection chambers, preventing chip accumulation from affecting the normal operation of the machining center. The auxiliary water tank collects the rinsing water, which, after being filtered to remove chips, flows into the main water tank, achieving water recycling. This not only saves water resources and reduces operating costs but also minimizes the environmental impact of wastewater discharge. Through the coordinated operation of all components, automated cleaning is achieved, solving the problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency associated with manual cleaning. Furthermore, the rinsing water can be separated and recycled, avoiding the waste caused by the chip conveyor's inability to separate the rinsing water. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Various aspects of this utility model are described in this disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate numerous illustrative embodiments. The embodiments of this disclosure are not necessarily defined to include all aspects of this utility model. It should be understood that the various concepts and embodiments described above, as well as those described in more detail below, can be implemented in any of many ways, because the concepts and embodiments disclosed in this utility model are not limited to any particular implementation. Furthermore, some aspects of this utility model can be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects disclosed in this utility model. Example
[0023] like Figure 1-5The first embodiment of this utility model is shown, which provides a chip flushing device for a CNC machining center chassis. The device includes a chassis assembly 100, comprising a base 110 for equipment support, a chip collection chamber 120 for chip collection, an inclined plate 130 for chip guidance, a secondary water tank 140 for collecting flushing water, a main water tank 150 for storing collected water, and a filter screen 160 for intercepting chips. A flushing assembly 200 includes a pump 210 for conveying flushing water, a diversion pipe 220 and a nozzle 230 for flushing chips, and a conveying pipe 240 connecting the pump 210 and the diversion pipe 220. A chip removal assembly 300 includes a conveying trough 310 for conveying chips and a shaftless helical blade 320, a drive motor 330 and a planetary reducer 340 for powering the shaftless helical blade 320, and a chip removal pipe 350 for discharging chips.
[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, automated cleaning is achieved through the cooperation of the flushing assembly 200 and the chip removal assembly 300. The conveying pump 210 delivers water from the main water tank 150 to the diversion pipe 220, and then the nozzle 230 sprays out the flushing debris, flushing it into the chip collection chamber 120. The nozzle 230 can be duckbill shaped to increase the flushing range. The drive motor 330 and planetary reducer 340 of the chip removal assembly 300 drive the shaftless spiral blades 320 to convey the debris in the conveying trough 310 to the chip removal pipe 350 for discharge. No manual cleaning is required, which greatly reduces labor intensity. The auxiliary water tank 140, the main water tank 150 and the filter screen 160 can recycle the flushing water. After flushing, the water carrying debris flows into the chip collection chamber 120 and then enters the auxiliary water tank 140 through the through hole at the bottom of the conveying trough 310. After the filter screen 160 intercepts the debris, the clean water flows into the main water tank 150 for recycling, thus solving the problem of wasted flushing water. Example
[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0026] In this embodiment, chip collection chambers 120 are provided on both sides of the top of the base 110. Inclined plates 130 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the chip collection chamber 120, and the chip collection chamber 120 is also connected to the inner cavity of the conveying groove 310.
[0027] The auxiliary water tank 140 is located at the front end of the inner cavity of the base 110, the main water tank 150 is located at the rear end of the inner cavity of the base 110, the filter screen 160 is located between the auxiliary water tank 140 and the main water tank 150, and the inner cavities of the auxiliary water tank 140 and the main water tank 150 are connected.
[0028] The delivery pump 210 is fixed to one side of the base 110, the nozzle 230 is connected to the diversion pipe 220, and the diversion pipe 220 is fixed to the surface of the inclined plate 130.
[0029] One end of the delivery pipe 240 is connected to the outlet of the delivery pump 210, and the other end of the delivery pipe 240 is connected to the diversion pipe 220. The inlet of the delivery pump 210 is connected to the inner cavity of the main water tank 150 through a pipe.
[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the flushing assembly 200 includes a delivery pump 210, a diversion pipe 220, and a nozzle 230. The delivery pump 210 delivers the flushing water in the main water tank 150 to the diversion pipe 220 through the delivery pipe 240, and then sprays it out through the nozzle 230 to flush the debris. The debris collection chamber 120 and the inclined plate 130 in the chassis assembly 100 can guide the flushed debris to the conveying trough 310, realizing the automatic collection of debris.
[0031] The auxiliary water tank 140 is located at the front end of the inner cavity of the base 110, and the main water tank 150 is located at the rear end. A filter screen 160 is provided between the two. Several through holes are opened at the bottom of the conveying trough 310. When rinsing debris, water will flow into the auxiliary water tank 140 through these through holes. The filter screen 160 can intercept debris and allow water to flow into the main water tank 150 for recycling and reuse. This effectively separates and recycles the rinsing water, reducing the waste of rinsing water. The filter screen 160 needs to be replaced or cleaned regularly. The filter screen 160 is fixed with bolts. It can be removed for replacement or cleaning by removing the side inspection plate of the base 110. The main water tank 150 needs to be filled with water every time the machine is turned on. The main water tank 150 can be filled with water by opening the back plate of the base 110. Example
[0032] Reference Figure 1-5 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0033] In this embodiment, the conveying trough 310 is located at the upper end of the inner cavity of the auxiliary water tank 140, and the bottom of the conveying trough 310 is provided with several through holes. The shaftless spiral blades 320 are movably connected to the inner cavity of the conveying trough 310 through bearings. One end of the conveying trough 310 extends through to the outside of the base 110 and is connected to the chip removal pipe 350.
[0034] The planetary reducer 340 is fixed to one side of the base 110. The drive motor 330 is fixed to the planetary reducer 340 by bolts, and the output shaft of the drive motor 330 is connected to the input shaft of the planetary reducer 340. The output shaft of the planetary reducer 340 passes through the inner cavity of the conveying groove 310 and is connected to the shaftless helical blade 320.
[0035] like Figure 1-5As shown, the shaftless helical blades 320 in the chip removal assembly 300, driven by the drive motor 330 and the planetary reducer 340, can transport the debris in the conveying trough 310 to the chip removal pipe 350 for discharge. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning of the debris at the bottom of the chassis, improving cleaning efficiency. The shaftless helical blades 320 have the advantage of not easily entangled with debris, thereby reducing the probability of failure and improving the reliability of chip removal. The drive motor 330 is connected to the shaftless helical blades 320 through the planetary reducer 340. The planetary reducer 340 has the advantages of high transmission efficiency, large torque, and small size, and can accurately control the rotational speed of the shaftless helical blades 320, ensuring the stability and accuracy of debris conveying.
[0036] During use, the chips generated by CNC machining fall into the chip collection chambers 120 on both sides of the top of the base 110. The inclined plates 130 on both sides of the inner cavity of the chip collection chamber 120 serve as guides, allowing the chips to slide along the inclined plates 130 to the bottom of the chip collection chamber 120 for easy subsequent processing. The chip collection chamber 120 is connected to the inner cavity of the conveying trough 310, and the chips can flow into the conveying trough 310 during the rinsing process.
[0037] The delivery pump 210 is fixed to one side of the base 110. Its inlet is connected to the inner cavity of the main water tank 150 through a pipe to draw out the water stored in the main water tank 150. The delivery pump 210 delivers the water to the distribution pipe 220 through the delivery pipe 240. The distribution pipe 220 is fixed to the surface of the inclined plate 130, and the nozzle 230 is connected to the distribution pipe 220. After being distributed by the distribution pipe 220, the water is sprayed out from the nozzle 230 to flush the debris in the chip collection chamber 120 and help the debris flow to the delivery trough 310 better.
[0038] The water after rinsing off debris carries some fine impurities into the auxiliary water tank 140, which is located at the front end of the inner cavity of the base 110. The main water tank 150 is located at the rear end of the inner cavity of the base 110. A filter screen 160 is installed between the two. When the water passes through the filter screen 160, the debris and other impurities are intercepted, and the clean water flows into the main water tank 150, realizing the recycling of water.
[0039] The drive motor 330 is fixed to the planetary reducer 340 by bolts. The output shaft of the drive motor 330 is connected to the input shaft of the planetary reducer 340. The output shaft of the planetary reducer 340 passes through the inner cavity of the conveying trough 310 and is connected to the shaftless helical blade 320 to drive the shaftless helical blade 320 to rotate. The shaftless helical blade 320 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the conveying trough 310 through bearings. The rotating shaftless helical blade 320 conveys the debris falling into the conveying trough 310. The conveying trough 310 is located at the upper end of the inner cavity of the auxiliary water tank 140. Several through holes are opened at its bottom. During the conveying process, some water will flow into the auxiliary water tank 140 through these through holes. One end of the conveying trough 310 passes through the outside of the base 110 and is connected to the chip discharge pipe 350. Finally, the debris is discharged from the device through the chip discharge pipe 350.
