Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lathe maintenance technology, and in particular to a chip suction structure for lathe guideways. Background Technology

[0002] A lathe is a machine tool used for metal processing. It primarily works by rotating the workpiece and using a cutting tool in a linear or curvilinear motion to cut materials, thereby manufacturing various rotating parts such as shafts, discs, and threads. During the machining of various parts, the lathe generates a large amount of metal chips. Most of these chips can be cooled and recovered using cleaning fluid or air cooling. However, a small portion of these chips tends to accumulate in the gaps between various structures within the lathe, potentially leading to machining abnormalities, noise, and overheating during operation.

[0003] Currently, metal shavings are cleaned with brushes and high-pressure air guns at the end of each shift or day to prevent accumulation; or, the shavings are flushed into the shavings collection tank by coolant water flow to reduce residue. When using brushes, high-pressure air guns, and coolant flushing, the metal shavings are prone to splashing around again during the cleaning process, causing these metal shavings to accumulate again in other structures of the lathe, resulting in incomplete cleaning and making the recovery of metal shavings more difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a lathe guide rail chip suction structure to solve the problem that metal chips easily scatter again during the cleaning process when using brushes, high-pressure air guns, or coolant flushing, making metal chip recovery difficult.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution of this utility model is as follows: A lathe guide rail chip-collecting structure, comprising:

[0006] The dust collection box is detachably installed on the lathe guide rail. The lower side of the dust collection box can fit against the lathe guide rail. An air intake gap is provided on the edge of the dust collection box near the lathe guide rail.

[0007] Several flexible cleaning burrs are provided, with one end of the cleaning burr fixedly installed on the inner wall of the dust collection box, and the other end of the cleaning burr facing the surface of the lathe guide rail.

[0008] A negative pressure suction machine connected to the dust collection box.

[0009] The technical principle of this utility model is as follows: When cleaning metal shavings accumulated on a lathe guide rail, a dust collection box is fitted onto the lathe guide rail with the air inlet gap of the dust collection box facing the surface of the lathe guide rail. At this time, the negative pressure suction machine is started, and the negative pressure generated by the suction machine is transmitted to the air inlet gap. Air is drawn in through the air inlet gap to form an airflow that impacts the metal shavings accumulated on the lathe guide rail. The metal shavings are carried by the airflow through the dust collection box into the negative pressure suction machine and then discharged. During the suction process, the elastic cleaning burrs can shake under the action of the airflow, and some of the cleaning burrs can penetrate into the crevices of the accumulated metal shavings on the lathe guide rail for cleaning, which can improve the cleaning efficiency of the accumulated metal shavings.

[0010] During the above process, the dust collection box and negative pressure suction machine can extract and collect the metal shavings accumulated on the lathe guide rail. The metal shavings will no longer fly around during the recycling process, making the collection of metal shavings smooth and efficient.

[0011] Furthermore, the air intake gap is located at the point where the vertical sidewall and bottom surface of the dust collection box meet the lathe guide rail surface.

[0012] With the above settings, the air intake gap formed between the dust collection box and the lathe guide rail surface makes it easier for airflow to enter from near the lathe guide rail surface, allowing the airflow to better impact the lathe guide rail. The accumulated metal shavings are more easily cleaned by the airflow, resulting in higher cleaning efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, the top surface of the dust collection box and the two vertical sidewalls of the dust collection box away from the center of the lathe guide rail are both made of rigid plates, while the two vertical sidewalls of the dust collection box near the center of the lathe guide rail are both made of elastic diaphragms.

[0014] By restricting the side walls of the dust collection box, it is possible to easily install and fit the dust collection box onto the lathe guide rail, while also having a certain strength, making it easy to control the movement of the dust collection box along the axis of the lathe guide rail, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and efficiency of metal shavings removal.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting tube, one end of which is connected to the dust collection box, and the other end of which is connected to the negative pressure suction machine. The end of the connecting tube connected to the dust collection box is located at the top center of the dust collection box.

[0016] With the above setup, the connecting pipe can stably connect the dust collection box and the negative pressure suction machine, making the conveying and collection of metal shavings stable; placing the connecting pipe in the middle of the top side of the dust collection box also helps to improve the uniformity of negative pressure at the air inlet gap of the dust collection box.

[0017] Furthermore, the length of the cleaning burrs is greater than or equal to the distance between the inner wall of the dust collection box and the surface of the lathe guide rail.

[0018] The above-mentioned design facilitates the cleaning of some burrs into the gaps where metal shavings accumulate on the lathe guide rails, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of accumulated metal shavings.

[0019] Furthermore, the lower side of the dust collection box has an opening for mounting onto the lathe guide rail.

[0020] The above configuration facilitates the installation of the dust collection box onto the lathe guide rail through the opening, making the connection between the dust collection box and the lathe guide rail convenient.

[0021] Furthermore, the negative pressure suction machine is equipped with an air outlet pipe, which can be connected to the chip collection trough.

[0022] With the above settings, when metal shavings are discharged through the air outlet, the discharged metal shavings can be collected in the shavings collection trough, thus achieving centralized collection of metal shavings. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] This embodiment is basically as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment of the utility model proposes a lathe guide rail chip removal structure, including a dust collection box 10, several elastic cleaning burr removal devices 20, a connecting pipe 30, and a negative pressure suction machine 40 connected to the dust collection box 10. The lower side of the dust collection box 10 is provided with an opening 101 for installation onto the lathe guide rail 50. The dust collection box 10 can be straddle-type snap-fit ​​installed onto the lathe guide rail 50, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the top surface of the dust collection box 10 and the two vertical sidewalls of the dust collection box 10 away from the center of the lathe guide rail 50 are both made of rigid plates and steel plates, while the two vertical sidewalls of the dust collection box 10 near the center of the lathe guide rail 50 are both made of elastic diaphragms and rubber plates.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the two vertical sides of the dust collection box 10 near the center of the lathe guide rail 50 can fit against the lathe guide rail 50, and an air inlet gap 102 is provided at the edge of the dust collection box 10 near the lathe guide rail 50; Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the air intake gap 102 is located at the contact point between the vertical side wall and bottom surface of the dust collection box 10 and the surface of the lathe guide rail 50.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, one end of the cleaning burr 20 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the dust collection box 10, and the other end of the cleaning burr 20 is opposite to the surface of the lathe guide rail 50. The length of the cleaning burr 20 is greater than or equal to the distance between the inner wall of the dust collection box 10 and the surface of the lathe guide rail 50.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, one end of the connecting pipe 30 is connected to the dust collection box 10, and the other end of the connecting pipe 30 is connected to the negative pressure suction machine 40. The end of the connecting pipe 30 connected to the dust collection box 10 is located at the middle of the top side of the dust collection box 10.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the negative pressure suction machine 40 is equipped with an air outlet pipe 401, which can be connected to the chip collection trough.

[0033] In this embodiment, a lathe guide rail chip removal structure is used such that the dust collection box 10 is snapped onto the lathe guide rail 50 in a straddle-type fastener. The two vertical sidewalls of the dust collection box 10 near the center of the lathe guide rail 50 deform with the surface of the lathe guide rail 50, which facilitates the straddle-type fastener installation onto the lathe guide rail 50 after deformation. This allows the elastic diaphragm-like part of the dust collection box 10 to be installed on the lathe guide rail 50 in a relatively close manner. At the same time, there is still an air intake gap 102 between the sidewalls and bottom surface of the dust collection box 10 and the lathe guide rail 50, which facilitates the entry of air through the air intake gap 102 during subsequent cleaning, while the airflow carries metal chips for cleaning and suction.

[0034] Then, the negative pressure suction machine 40 is started. The negative pressure generated by the negative pressure suction machine 40 is transmitted to the air intake gap 102 through the connecting pipe 30 and the dust collection box 10. Air is drawn in at the air intake gap 102 to form an airflow that impacts the metal chips accumulated on the lathe guide rail 50. The metal chips are carried by the airflow through the dust collection box 10 and the connecting pipe 30 and then enter the negative pressure suction machine 40. They are then discharged through the air outlet pipe 401. The discharged metal chips can be collected in the chip collection trough.

[0035] During the suction process, the elastic cleaning burrs 20 can shake under the action of airflow, and some of the cleaning burrs 20 can penetrate into the gaps of accumulated metal chips on the lathe guide rail 50 for cleaning, which can improve the cleaning efficiency of accumulated metal chips.

[0036] Then, holding the upper side of the dust collection box 10, slide the dust collection box 10 horizontally along the axis of the lathe guide rail 50, thereby cleaning the lathe guide rail 50 reciprocally with metal shavings. During this process, the cleaning burr 20 can move further relative to the gap of the lathe guide rail 50, further improving the cleaning efficiency of metal shavings.

[0037] During the above process, metal shavings accumulated on the lathe guide rail 50 can be extracted and collected. The metal shavings will no longer scatter during the recycling process, making the collection of metal shavings smooth and efficient. At the same time, the elastic cleaning burr 20 makes elastic contact with the lathe guide rail 50, preventing scratches on the lathe guide rail 50. By restricting the selection of the side wall material of the dust collection box 10, the dust collection box 10 can be easily installed and attached to the lathe guide rail 50, while also having a certain strength, making it easy to control the movement of the dust collection box 10 along the axial direction of the lathe guide rail 50, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and efficiency of metal shavings cleaning.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
