Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, specifically to a machine tool that facilitates the removal of iron filings. Background Technology

[0002] Machine tools, as important processing equipment, are widely used in the cutting and machining of various parts. During machine tool processing, a large amount of metal shavings are inevitably generated. Currently, most machine tools rely on manual cleaning with brushes to remove the remaining metal shavings after use. However, machine tools have complex structures and contain many small, hidden spaces. When cleaning manually with brushes, the limited operating space makes it difficult to reach these areas, resulting in metal shavings located inside the machine tool not being effectively removed.

[0003] These residual iron filings can severely impact the normal operation of machine tools. Once these filings enter critical machine tool components, such as lead screws and bearings, they increase friction between parts, accelerate wear, and reduce machining accuracy and lifespan. Simultaneously, iron filings can clog internal oil passages, affecting the normal operation of the lubrication system and even causing machine tool parts to seize, leading to equipment failure. Furthermore, manual cleaning of iron filings is inefficient, labor-intensive, and lacks guaranteed cleaning effectiveness, failing to meet the demands of modern high-efficiency, precision machining.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a machine tool that can easily remove iron filings in order to solve the problems existing in the current technology and ensure the stable operation and machining accuracy of the machine tool. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a machine tool that facilitates the cleaning of iron filings. This solves the technical problem mentioned in the background art, where existing machine tools mostly require manual cleaning of iron filings left on the machine tool after use by brushing with a cleaning brush. However, due to the special structure of the machine tool, iron filings located inside the machine tool cannot be cleaned effectively, resulting in the parts on the machine tool being easily affected by the interference of iron filings, thus affecting their normal operation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a machine tool for easy cleaning of iron filings, comprising:

[0007] The machine tool body has a machining groove for mounting a lead screw, and the bottom of the machining groove is connected to an mounting groove;

[0008] The mounting rollers are provided in two sets, both of which are rotatably mounted in the mounting groove. One set of the mounting rollers is provided with a rocker wheel at its end, and the two sets of mounting rollers are connected by a conveyor belt.

[0009] A collection frame is detachably disposed within the mounting slot, and the end of the conveyor belt is located on the collection frame; and

[0010] A cleaning brush is positioned on the collection box and abuts against the conveyor belt.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, two sets of baffles are provided on the top inner side of the mounting groove. The distance between the two sets of baffles is greater than the distance between the processing grooves and less than the width of the conveyor belt.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the conveyor belt is provided with two sets of grooves, and the two sets of baffles are respectively engaged in the two sets of grooves.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a ratchet is provided at the end of one set of mounting rollers, and a pawl mounted by a torsion spring is provided on the machine tool body, the pawl being engaged with the ratchet.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the collection frame is provided with a rotatable mounting shaft, the cleaning brush is disposed on the mounting shaft, and the collection frame is also provided with a drive assembly connected to the mounting shaft. The drive assembly can selectively drive the mounting shaft to rotate forward and backward so that the cleaning brush abuts or dismounts from the conveyor belt.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the driving component includes:

[0016] A connecting bracket is mounted on the mounting shaft;

[0017] A tension spring, one end of which is connected to the connecting frame, and the other end of which is connected to the collecting frame; and

[0018] A handle is provided outside the collection frame, and a pull rope is provided on the handle. The pull rope passes through the side wall of the collection frame and is fixedly connected to the connecting frame.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] During processing, iron filings fall through machining slots on the machine body into mounting slots and onto the conveyor belt. Rotating a rocker wheel drives a set of mounting rollers, which in turn move the conveyor belt, transporting the iron filings until they fall into a collection box, thus completing the cleaning process. A cleaning brush can also be used to brush off iron filings adhering to the conveyor belt, preventing them from falling outside the collection box, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. This eliminates the need for workers to manually clean iron filings from various locations on the machine, effectively reducing labor intensity and increasing work efficiency.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.

[0028] Example:

[0029] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model provides a machine tool for easy cleaning of iron filings, including a machine tool body 1. The machine tool body 1 has a machining groove 2 for mounting a lead screw. The bottom of the machining groove 2 is connected to a mounting groove 3. Two sets of mounting rollers 5 are rotatably arranged in the mounting groove 3. One set of mounting rollers 5 has a rocker wheel 8 at its end. The two sets of mounting rollers 5 are connected by a conveyor belt 6. A collection frame 11 is detachably arranged in the mounting groove 3, and the end of the conveyor belt 6 is located on the collection frame 11.

[0030] During operation, the iron filings generated by the machine tool fall into the mounting groove 3 through the machining groove 2 and are collected by the conveyor belt 6. After processing for a period of time, the rocker wheel 8 can be turned to drive one of the mounting rollers 5 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 6 to move and transport the iron filings until they fall from the conveyor belt 6 into the collection frame 11.

[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in this embodiment, two sets of baffles 4 are provided on the top inner side of the mounting groove 3. The distance between the two sets of baffles 4 is greater than the distance between the processing grooves 2 and less than the width of the conveyor belt 6. Two sets of grooves 7 are provided on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 6, and the two sets of baffles 4 are respectively engaged in the two sets of grooves 7.

[0032] Two sets of baffles 4 can be used to block the iron filings falling into the mounting groove 3, preventing them from splashing outside the conveyor belt 6 and ensuring stable conveying of the iron filings. At the same time, the arrangement of the grooves 7 can prevent the iron filings from moving out of the conveyor belt 6 through the gap between the baffles 4 and the conveyor belt 6. The baffles 4 can also be used to position the operation of the conveyor belt 6, improving the conveying effect.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a ratchet 9 is provided at the end of one set of mounting rollers 5, and a pawl 10 is provided on the machine tool body 1 by means of a torsion spring. The pawl 10 is engaged with the ratchet 9. The rotation of the mounting rollers 5 is locked in one direction by the cooperation of the pawl 10 and the ratchet 9, so as to prevent the mounting rollers 5 from reversing due to collisions and misoperation, which would cause iron filings to fall into the machine tool body 1 through the other end of the conveyor belt 6.

[0034] A cleaning brush 13 is provided on the collection frame 11 to abut against the conveyor belt 6. A rotatable mounting shaft 12 is provided at the end of the collection frame 11, and the cleaning brush 13 is mounted on the mounting shaft 12. A drive assembly connected to the mounting shaft 12 is also provided on the collection frame 11. The drive assembly can selectively drive the mounting shaft 12 to rotate forward and backward, so that the cleaning brush 13 abuts against or releases from the conveyor belt 6. The drive assembly includes a connecting frame 14 provided on the mounting shaft 12. The connecting frame 14 is connected to the collection frame 11 by a tension spring 15. A handle 17 is provided on the outside of the collection frame 11, and a pull rope 16 is provided on the handle 17. The pull rope 16 passes through the side wall of the collection frame 11 and is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 14.

[0035] The tension spring 15 applies tension to the connecting frame 14, causing the mounting shaft 12 to rotate. This ensures that the cleaning brush 13 maintains good contact with the conveyor belt 6, improving the cleaning effect on the metal filings adhering to the conveyor belt 6. When installing the collection frame 11, pulling the handle 17 rotates the connecting frame 14 via the pull rope 16, causing the mounting shaft 12 to rotate. This lowers the highest position of the cleaning brush 13, preventing it from obstructing the collection frame 11 during installation.

[0036] The specific usage and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0037] During processing, iron filings fall through the processing groove 2 on the machine body 1 into the mounting groove 3 and onto the conveyor belt 6. A rotating rocker wheel 8 drives a set of mounting rollers 5, which in turn move the conveyor belt 6 to transport the iron filings until they fall into the collection box 11, thus completing the cleaning process. A cleaning brush 13 can also brush off the iron filings adhering to the conveyor belt 6, preventing them from falling outside the collection box 11, thereby improving the efficiency of iron filings cleaning. This eliminates the need for workers to manually remove iron filings from various locations on the machine, effectively reducing labor intensity and increasing work efficiency.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above. Modifications or improvements can be made to this utility model, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this utility model fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
