[0043] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0044] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0045] Machine tools generate metal shavings during processing. These shavings often accumulate on the guide rails. As the machine moves, these shavings are pushed around, causing them to become stuck in the guide rails, accelerating wear and affecting machine accuracy. In related technologies, manual cleaning with brooms is typically performed by employees, which is a repetitive and labor-intensive task.

[0046] Therefore, such as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning mechanism, which includes a three-way assembly 1, a water outlet assembly 2, a first connecting block 3, a second water outlet 4, and a second connecting block 5. The three-way assembly 1 includes a first inlet, a second inlet, and an outlet that are interconnected. The first inlet is used to introduce cleaning fluid, and the second inlet is used to introduce coolant. One end of the water outlet assembly 2 is connected to the outlet, and at least part of the length of the water outlet assembly 2 is adjustable. The first connecting block 3 includes a first inlet and an outlet that are interconnected. The other end of the water outlet assembly 2 is connected to the first inlet. A plurality of first spray pipes 31 are spaced apart on the first connecting block 3, and cleaning fluid and / or coolant can be sprayed out by the plurality of first spray pipes 31. One end of the second water outlet 4 is connected to the outlet, and the length of the second water outlet 4 is adjustable. The second connecting block 5 includes a second inlet, and the other end of the second water outlet 4 is connected to the second inlet. A plurality of second spray pipes 51 are spaced apart on the second connecting block 5, and cleaning fluid and / or coolant can be sprayed out by the plurality of second spray pipes 51.

[0047] The three-way assembly 1 includes a first inlet, a second inlet, and an outlet that are interconnected. The first inlet is used to introduce cleaning fluid, and the second inlet is used to introduce coolant. The flow of cleaning fluid and coolant can be controlled according to actual needs. For example, during machine tool processing, the flow of cleaning fluid can be closed, and coolant can be used mainly to reduce the temperature. During machine tool cleaning, the flow of coolant can be closed, and cleaning fluid can be used mainly to clean the guide rails 200. Alternatively, the flow of both liquids can be opened simultaneously, allowing them to mix and enter the outlet pipe assembly 2. The lengths of the outlet pipe assembly 2 and the second outlet pipe 4 are adjustable, so that the relative positions of the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 5 can be adjusted according to the positions of the two guide rails 200 on the machine tool. This ensures that the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 5 correspond to the two guide rails 200 respectively, so that the coolant and / or cleaning fluid sprayed from the first spray pipe 31 and the second spray pipe 51 can be sprayed onto the corresponding guide rails 200 to cool or rinse the guide rails 200.

[0048] This cleaning mechanism can quickly flush away metal debris by spraying cleaning fluid, which improves the cleaning speed and efficiency and reduces labor intensity compared to manual cleaning. This cleaning mechanism also has a cooling function to ensure that the guide rail 200 can be cooled during machine tool processing. The length of the water outlet assembly 2 and the second water outlet 4 is adjustable, which allows the cleaning mechanism to adapt to the size and position requirements of the guide rail 200 of different machine tools. This makes the cleaning mechanism applicable to various types of machine tools, improving the versatility and applicability of the cleaning mechanism.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the three-way assembly 1 includes a three-way connector 11 and a first mounting member 12. The three-way connector 11 includes a first water inlet, a second water inlet, and a water outlet that are interconnected. The first mounting member 12 is fixed to the three-way connector 11. The first mounting member 12 makes the installation of the three-way assembly 1 more convenient and quick. When installing the cleaning mechanism, the operator can use the first mounting member 12 to fix the three-way assembly 1 in a suitable position on the machine tool.

[0050] Optionally, a second mounting component is provided at the bottom end of the first connecting block 3, and a third mounting component is provided at the bottom end of the second connecting block 5. The second and third mounting components make the installation of the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 5 more convenient and quick. When installing the cleaning mechanism, the operator can use the second and third mounting components to fix the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 5 to a suitable position on the machine tool.

[0051] In one alternative embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the water outlet pipe assembly 2 includes a bent pipe 21, which includes a first pipe section 211 and a second pipe section 212 arranged at an angle. The first pipe section 211 is connected to the first water inlet. One end of the first water outlet pipe 22 is connected to the second pipe section 212, and the other end of the first water outlet pipe 22 is connected to the first inlet. The length of the first water outlet pipe 22 is adjustable. The design of the bent pipe 21 allows the water outlet pipe assembly 2 to be arranged in a limited space, enabling the cleaning mechanism to be installed in a compact machine tool structure without affecting the normal operation of the machine tool. In this embodiment, the first pipe section 211 is arranged horizontally, and the second pipe section 212 is arranged vertically, which can reduce the pressure loss of the cleaning fluid and / or coolant during the flow process and ensure the smooth flow of the cleaning fluid and / or coolant in the water outlet pipe assembly 2. The adjustable length of the first water outlet pipe 22 allows the cleaning mechanism to be adapted to different models of machine tools, further increasing the versatility and applicability of the cleaning mechanism.

[0052] Optionally, the first water outlet pipe 22 and / or the second water outlet pipe 4 are corrugated pipes. Corrugated pipes have good extensibility, allowing their length to be adjusted within a certain range; and their flexibility allows for flexible layout within limited space, resulting in a more compact installation space at the machine tool. Corrugated pipes can be bent and folded to adapt to various complex machine tool installation space structures.

[0053] In one alternative embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the structure of the first water spray pipe 31 is the same as that of the second water spray pipe 51; the first water spray pipe 31 includes a first water spray section 311 and a second water spray section 312 arranged at an angle. The first water spray section 311 is connected to the first connecting block 3. Along the extension direction of the second water spray section 312, the second water spray section 312 is inclined downward along the Z-axis and has water spray holes. The first spray section 311 and the second spray section 312 are set at an angle, and the second spray section 312 is inclined downward along the Z-axis, so that the spray holes of the second spray section 312 can be accurately aligned with the surface of the guide rail 200 to be cleaned, so that the cleaning fluid and / or coolant can be accurately sprayed onto the surface of the guide rail 200. Furthermore, the second spray section 312 is inclined downward along the Z-axis, so that the spray holes can be closer to the surface of the guide rail 200, which can reduce the diffusion and energy loss of the cleaning fluid and / or coolant during the spraying process, and ensure that the cleaning fluid and / or coolant is sprayed onto the surface of the guide rail 200 at a higher pressure and flow rate, thereby more effectively removing metal debris from the surface of the guide rail 200.

[0054] Optionally, the second water spray section 312 is connected to a high-pressure nozzle. The high-pressure nozzle can spray the mixture at a higher pressure, which can more effectively remove metal debris from the surface of the guide rail 200, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0055] This embodiment also provides a machine tool, such as Figure 1As shown, this machine tool includes a tray 100, two guide rails 200 spaced apart along the Y-axis, and a cleaning mechanism as described above. The tray 100 is provided with a first mounting hole and two second mounting holes. The cleaning mechanism is detachably connected to the tray 100. The first mounting component 12 is mounted in the first mounting hole, and the second mounting component and the third mounting component are respectively mounted in the two second mounting holes. The first water spray pipe 31 and the second water spray pipe 51 correspond to the two guide rails 200 respectively.

[0056] The cleaning mechanism is detachably connected to the tray 100, making the installation and maintenance of the cleaning mechanism more convenient and quick; the first water spray pipe 31 and the second water spray pipe 51 correspond to the two guide rails 200 respectively, ensuring that each guide rail 200 can be cleaned, improving the uniformity and consistency of cleaning.

[0057] Optionally, the first mounting member 12 is threaded into the first mounting hole of the tray 100. Through the engagement of the threads, the first mounting member 12 can be firmly connected into the first mounting hole of the tray 100, ensuring that the tee assembly 1 will not loosen or shift during operation. The threaded connection is very simple to operate; simply screw the first mounting member 12 into the first mounting hole of the tray 100, which greatly improves installation efficiency and reduces installation time. Furthermore, when maintenance or replacement of the cleaning mechanism is required, simply unscrew the first mounting member 12 out of the first mounting hole of the tray 100 to perform the necessary maintenance or replacement operations, reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0058] Optionally, the second and third mounting components are respectively interference-fitted into the second mounting holes of the pallet 100. The interference fit between the second and third mounting components and the two second mounting holes of the pallet 100 ensures that the second and third mounting components are tightly fixed within the two second mounting holes, preventing loosening and ensuring the stability of the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 5 during operation. The interference fit installation process is relatively simple; the second and third mounting components only need to be pressed into their corresponding second mounting holes. When maintenance or replacement of the cleaning mechanism is required, the second and third mounting components can be removed from their respective second mounting holes to perform the necessary maintenance or replacement operations, reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
