A push rod 313 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 312. A switch plate 314 is rotatably connected to the side of the collection box 31.
[0028] The placement rack 33 is located on top of the collection box 31. Several slots 34 are provided and are arranged in a linear array on top of the placement rack 33. This design allows debris located on top of the placement rack 33 to fall into the collection box 31 through the slots 34 for collection.
[0029] The push rod 313 is located on the inner wall of the collection box 31, and the collection box 31 is located on the displacement trajectory of the push rod 313. Several support rods 32 are provided, in pairs, and symmetrical to each other along the vertical central axis of the placement frame 33. The provision of several support rods 32 is conducive to the stable support of the placement frame 33.
[0030] The vertical machining center 1 is provided with an anti-clogging component 4 on its side. The anti-clogging component 4 includes a vertical rod 41, one end of which is fixedly connected to the side of the vertical machining center 1. A turntable 42 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vertical rod 41. An inclined rod 43 is fixedly connected to the circumference of the turntable 42. A striking rod 44 is fixedly connected to the circumference of the turntable 42. An actuating rod 47 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting rod 312. The placing frame 33 is tapped by the striking rod 44 to loosen the debris stuck in the inner wall of the slot 34, preventing the slot 34 from becoming blocked and affecting the collection of debris.
[0031] The diagonal bar 43 is located on the displacement trajectory of the triggering bar 47, and the striking bar 44 is located at the bottom of the placement frame 33. This design is beneficial to press the diagonal bar 43 when the triggering bar 47 moves.
[0032] A support rod 45 is fixedly connected to the side of the vertical rod 41, and a spring 46 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 45. The end of the spring 46 away from the support rod 45 is fixedly connected to the top of the inclined rod 43. The design of the spring 46 is conducive to the automatic reset of the inclined rod 43 when it is not compressed.
[0033] The placement frame 33 is located on the displacement trajectory of the striking rod 44, and the processing head 2 is located above the placement frame 33. This design is beneficial for striking the placement frame 33 when the striking rod 44 is displaced.
[0034] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: The parts to be processed are placed on top of the placement rack 33 for processing. The resulting debris falls into the collection box 31 through the slot 34. The slot 34 is relatively small, and its design does not affect the overall rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the plate. Smaller debris can fall into the collection box 31 through the slot 34. Larger debris can be removed by rotating the rotating plate 35 away from the placement rack 33, opening the rotating plate 35 at the top of the placement rack 33 and exposing the largest slot on the placement rack 33. This allows larger debris to enter the collection box 31 through the slot previously blocked by the rotating plate 35. This ensures that both large and small debris can be collected into the collection box 31. At this time, the motor 37 is started. The rotation of the motor 37 drives the threaded rod 38 to rotate, which in turn moves the threaded sleeve 39. When the motor 37 rotates forward, it moves the threaded sleeve 39 closer to the collection box 31. The movement of the threaded sleeve 39 then moves the thin rod 3... 11. The connecting rod 312 and the pushing rod 313 move towards the side closer to the collection box 31. The pushing rod 313 is located inside the collection box 31. When the pushing rod 313 moves, it pushes inside the collection box 31. At this time, the switch plate 314 located on the opposite side of the pushing rod 313 is opened, so that the side of the collection box 31 is opened. With the pushing rod 313 pushing inside the collection box 31, the debris collected in the collection box 31 is automatically pushed out, cleaning the collection box 31. The design takes into account the handling methods of different debris. Smaller debris falls into the collection box 31 through the slot 34, while larger debris can enter the collection box 31 through the design of the rotating plate 35, thus ensuring that all types of debris can be effectively collected, further improving the applicability of the system. Through the automatic operation of the motor 37 and the pushing rod 313, the debris in the collection box 31 can be easily cleaned, ensuring the continuous operation of the system. Cleaning and maintenance work becomes more convenient, without the need for manual intervention, greatly reducing maintenance costs.
[0035] As the connecting rod 312 moves closer to the collection box 31, it causes the trigger rod 47 to move. The inclined rod 43 is located on the movement trajectory of the trigger rod 47. When the trigger rod 47 moves with the connecting rod 312, it presses against the inclined rod 43, causing it to move downwards. The downward movement of the inclined rod 43 causes the turntable 42 to rotate downwards, making the turntable 42 rotate clockwise. The clockwise rotation of the turntable 42 causes the striking rod 44 to rotate clockwise. The striking rod 44 is located at the bottom of the placement rack 33, and the placement rack 33 is located on the movement trajectory of the striking rod 44. When the striking rod 44 rotates clockwise... When rotating, the bottom of the placement rack 33 is struck, causing vibration and loosening any debris that may be stuck on the inner wall of the slot 34. This prevents the placement rack 33 from becoming clogged and affecting chip removal. The vibration generated by the striking rod 44 loosens any debris that may be stuck on the slot 34 or the inner wall of the placement rack 33, preventing blockage of the chip removal channel, ensuring smooth operation of the chip removal system, preventing chip accumulation from causing mechanical parts to jam, and ensuring normal operation of the equipment. The vibration also allows the accumulated debris to fall off automatically and enter the collection box 31, reducing the need for manual cleaning. This helps improve the overall efficiency of the chip removal system, allowing debris to be collected more quickly and effectively.
