Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a machine tool waste trough with magnetic chip collection. Background Technology
[0002] Machine tools are machines that manufacture machines, also known as machine tools or machine tools. They occupy a core position in modern industrial production and are mainly used to process metal or other material blanks by cutting, grinding, stamping and other processes to obtain parts that meet design requirements. They are widely used in many fields such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, machining, and electronic equipment.
[0003] During machine tool processing, a large amount of metal shavings and a small amount of machining waste are generated. If these shavings and waste are piled up randomly on the machine tool worktable or the ground, it will not only affect the machining accuracy, but may also scratch the machine tool guideways, contaminate the cutting fluid, and even threaten the personal safety of the operators. Therefore, it is necessary to collect and remove these machining wastes through a waste trough. A waste trough is a trough-shaped structure installed below or to the side of the machine tool processing area. Its core function is to receive the shavings and waste generated by machine tool processing, and guide the waste to a designated collection device through its own tilt angle or auxiliary conveying structure, thereby achieving the cleaning of the processing area and the centralized treatment of waste.
[0004] The existing machine tool scrap trough with magnetic chip collection has the following shortcomings:
[0005] Existing waste bins typically use fixed magnetic plates for magnetic attraction, relying solely on manual labor or a single-direction scraper to clean debris. This is inefficient and prone to omissions due to manual cleaning, and the single scraper can only remove debris laterally, causing it to accumulate at the edges of the magnetic plate and fail to fall smoothly to the bottom of the bin. Over time, this accumulation can obscure the magnetic plate's magnetism, leading to a decrease in magnetic attraction efficiency. Furthermore, existing waste bins often use flat filter screens for oil-shaving separation. Debris easily accumulates and clogs the filter screen, affecting the cooling oil filtration speed. The filtered debris mixes with residual cooling oil, requiring additional separation. Cleaning debris necessitates stopping the machine and disassembling the filter screen, making the process cumbersome and preventing the simultaneous separation and convenient recycling of oil and debris. Utility Model Content

The output shaft of the first motor passes through the interior of the sliding groove and is fixedly connected to a transmission screw. A sliding scraper is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission screw. The lower surface of the sliding scraper is slidably connected to the upper surface of the magnetic plate. Two pulleys are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the outer surface of the sliding scraper. A transmission belt is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the two pulleys on each side. Two pusher plates are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two transmission belts.
[0009] Preferably, the scraping assembly further includes a second motor, which is fixedly connected to the right side of the groove, and the output shaft of the second motor passes through the interior of the sliding groove and is fixedly connected to a transmission gear.
[0010] Preferably, the sliding scraper has a movable groove on its upper interior, and a transmission wheel is rotatably connected inside the movable groove.
[0011] Preferably, the transmission gear column passes through the movable groove and its outer surface meshes with the outer surface of the transmission wheel, and the left and right ends of the transmission wheel are respectively fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two top pulleys.
[0012] Preferably, the material distribution component includes an inverted V-shaped oil filter and an oil outlet. The inverted V-shaped oil filter is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the tank, and the oil outlet is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the tank and communicates with the interior of the tank.
[0013] Preferably, the material distribution assembly further includes two inclined chutes, which are respectively opened in the middle of the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the trough and respectively positioned above the front and rear sides of the inverted V-shaped oil filter screen. A connecting groove is provided at the bottom of the inclined chutes.
[0014] Preferably, the two connecting grooves are respectively opened at the bottom of the front and rear sides of the groove body, and a recycling bin is slidably connected to the inner surface of the connecting groove. A handle is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two recycling bins.
[0015] Preferably, the material distribution assembly further includes two third motors, which are fixedly connected to the right side of the trough. The output shaft of the third motor extends through the interior of the inclined slide and is fixedly connected to a rotating column.
[0016] Preferably, a rotating filter plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating column near the inverted V-shaped oil filter screen, and the two rotating filter plates are respectively arranged above the front and rear sides of the inverted V-shaped oil filter screen.

[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:
[0019] 1.

This effectively avoids the problem of reduced magnetic attraction efficiency caused by debris blocking the magnetism of the magnetic plate, and improves the debris cleaning efficiency and magnetic attraction stability.

In this utility model, through the cooperation between the inverted V-shaped oil filter screen and oil outlet of the material distribution component, the third motor, rotating column, rotating filter plate, rotating baffle, inclined slide groove, and recovery box, the inverted V-shaped structure avoids the accumulation and clogging of debris on the filter screen surface, ensuring a stable cooling oil filtration speed. At the same time, the rotating filter plate realizes secondary filtration of residual cooling oil from debris, improving the purity of oil-debris separation. Furthermore, through the synchronous flipping of the rotating baffle and filter plate, debris recovery can be completed without stopping the machine for disassembly, making operation convenient. This not only achieves efficient recycling and reuse of cooling oil but also reduces the subsequent processing costs of oily debris, improving the overall processing economy.

[0027] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0028] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0029] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: it includes a trough 1, the top of which is provided with an inclined slot 2, the front and rear sides of which are inclined surfaces, and a magnetic suction plate 3 is fixedly installed on the inclined surfaces. The feature is that a scraping assembly 4 is provided on the outer surface of the magnetic suction plate 3, and a distributing assembly 5 is provided at the bottom of the trough 1. The scraping assembly 4 includes a first motor 41, which is fixedly connected to the right side of the trough 1. Sliding grooves are provided on the front and rear sides of the top of the inner surface of the inclined slot 2. The output shaft of the first motor 41 passes through the interior of the sliding groove and is fixedly connected to a transmission screw 42. A sliding scraper 43 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission screw 42, and the lower surface of the sliding scraper 43 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the magnetic suction plate 3. Two pulleys 47 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the outer surface of the sliding scraper 43. A transmission belt 48 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the two pulleys 47 on each side. Two pusher plates 49 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two transmission belts 48. The scraping assembly 4 also includes a second motor 44. The second motor 44 is fixedly connected to the right side of the trough 1. The output shaft of the second motor 44 passes through the interior of the sliding trough and is fixedly connected to a transmission gear 45. A movable groove is opened at the top of the interior of the sliding scraper 43. A transmission wheel 46 is rotatably connected inside the movable groove. The transmission gear 45 passes through the movable groove and its outer surface meshes with the outer surface of the transmission wheel 46. The left and right ends of the transmission wheel 46 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two pulleys 47 at the top, respectively.
[0030] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is as follows: When the machine tool produces metal chips, the chips fall along with the cooling oil onto the surface of the magnetic plate 3 at the inclined slot 2. The magnetic plate 3 quickly attracts the metal chips through magnetism, preventing them from splashing. When the chips accumulate to a certain amount on the surface of the magnetic plate 3, the first motor 41 and the second motor 44 are started. The first motor 41 drives the transmission screw 42 to rotate. Since the sliding scraper 43 is threadedly connected to the transmission screw 42 and is limited by the sliding groove, the sliding scraper 43 slides laterally from right to left along the surface of the magnetic plate 3, loosening and scraping off the chips on the surface of the magnetic plate 3. At the same time, the second motor 44 drives the transmission gear 45 to rotate. 45 meshes with the transmission wheel 46 inside the sliding scraper 43, driving the transmission wheel 46 to rotate synchronously. The top pulleys 47 connected to both ends of the transmission wheel 46 rotate accordingly, thereby driving the transmission belt 48 to circulate. The pusher plate 49 on the transmission belt 48 moves with the transmission belt 48, pushing the debris scraped off from both sides of the sliding scraper 43 and easily accumulated debris downward to the bottom of the tank 1, preventing debris from lingering at the edge of the magnetic plate 3. The whole process does not require manual intervention, realizing automated and residue-free cleaning of debris. Moreover, the lateral scraping of the sliding scraper 43 and the longitudinal pushing of the pusher plate 49 form a "two-way slag cleaning", which completely solves the problems of incomplete slag cleaning by traditional single scraper and debris accumulation blocking the magnetic plate.
[0031] Example 2: As Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: the material distribution component 5 includes an inverted V-shaped oil filter screen 51 and an oil outlet 52. The inverted V-shaped oil filter screen 51 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the tank body 1, and the oil outlet 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the tank body 1 and communicates with the interior of the tank body 1. The material distribution component 5 also includes two inclined sliding grooves 53. The two inclined sliding grooves 53 are respectively opened in the middle of the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the tank body 1 and are respectively positioned above the front and rear sides of the inverted V-shaped oil filter screen 51. A connecting groove 54 is provided at the bottom of the inclined sliding groove 53. The two connecting grooves 54 are respectively opened at the bottom of the front and rear sides of the tank body 1, and the inner surface of the connecting groove 54 slides. The material distribution assembly 5 is connected to a recycling bin 55, and handles 56 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two recycling bins 55. The material distribution assembly 5 also includes two third motors 57. The third motors 57 are fixedly connected to the right side of the tank body 1. The output shaft of the third motor 57 passes through the interior of the inclined slide 53 and is fixedly connected to a rotating column 58. A rotating filter plate 59 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating column 58 near the side of the inverted V-shaped oil filter screen 51. The two rotating filter plates 59 are respectively set above the front and rear sides of the inverted V-shaped oil filter screen 51. A rotating baffle 510 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the rotating column 58. The rotating baffle 510 is set at the top of the inclined slide 53.
[0032] The overall effect of Embodiment 2 is as follows: Oily debris falling from the magnetic plate 3 into the tank 1 first contacts the inverted V-shaped oil filter screen 51. Cooling oil, due to gravity, passes through the mesh of the inverted V-shaped oil filter screen 51 and falls into the oil collection area at the bottom of the tank 1. It is then discharged and recycled through the oil outlet 52, realizing the recycling of cooling oil. Metal debris, because its volume is larger than the mesh, slides along the inclined surface of the inverted V-shaped oil filter screen 51 between the rotating filter plates 59 and the rotating baffle 510 on both sides. At this time, the rotating filter plates 59 are in an inclined state, and a small amount of cooling oil remaining in the debris can continue to pass through the rotating filter plates 59 and fall into the oil collection area, realizing secondary filtration and improving the dryness of the debris. When the debris accumulates on the rotating filter plates 59 to a certain amount, the system is activated. The third motor 57 drives the rotating column 58 to rotate clockwise. The rotating filter plate 59 and the rotating baffle 510 on the rotating column 58 rotate synchronously. When the rotating baffle 510 rotates to be flush with the lower surface of the inclined slide 53, the rotating filter plate 59 also rotates to an inclined downward state. The debris on it slides along the rotating filter plate 59 into the inclined slide 53 under the action of gravity, and then slides down into the recycling box 55 in the connecting groove 54. The recycling box 55 can be pulled out from the connecting groove 54 by the handle 56, which facilitates the centralized treatment of debris. The whole process realizes efficient separation of oil debris and convenient recycling of debris, without stopping the machine to disassemble the filter screen, solving the problems of easy clogging of traditional flat filter screens and cumbersome debris cleaning.
[0033] The working principle of the entire equipment is as follows: Before use, the tank 1 is installed below the machine tool processing area, so that the inclined slot 2 receives the debris and cooling oil. The oil outlet 52 is connected to the cooling oil recovery device, the recovery box 55 is pushed into the connecting slot 54, and the motor circuit is checked. After the machine tool is started, the metal debris falls with the cooling oil and is attracted by the magnetic suction plates 3 on the front and rear sides of the inclined slot 2. Some of the cooling oil slides off and some is temporarily attached. When the debris accumulates to a certain amount on the magnetic suction plates 3, the first motor 41 drives the transmission screw 42 to drive the sliding scraper 43 to loosen the debris laterally. At the same time, the second motor 44 drives the transmission gear 45, transmission wheel 46, and belt. Wheel 47 drives transmission belt 48 to rotate, and pusher plate 49 pushes debris downward to distribution component 5; after oily debris comes into contact with inverted V-shaped oil filter screen 51, cooling oil passes through the screen and falls into oil collection area and is recovered through oil outlet 52. The debris slides along the inclined surface of the filter screen to between rotating filter plate 59 and rotating baffle 510, and residual cooling oil is filtered a second time by rotating filter plate 59; when debris accumulates, third motor 57 drives rotating column 58 to flip rotating filter plate 59 and rotating baffle 510, and debris falls along inclined chute 53 into recovery box 55. After it is full, it can be pulled out for cleaning; after the machine tool finishes processing, the motor is turned off and residual debris is cleaned up to complete the operation.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
