Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of machine tool accessories technology, and in particular relates to a chip removal device for machining centers. Background Technology

[0002] Chip removal devices are an important accessory for machine tools, and their effectiveness directly affects the machining accuracy and efficiency. A chip removal device consists of a screw chip conveyor, a chain-type chip conveyor, and a scrap hopper. The device is located below the machine tool. Chips from the machine tool are conveyed by the screw chip conveyor to the chain-type chip conveyor, which then collects them in the scrap hopper.

[0003] The screw chip conveyor is located inside the machine tool's water tank. Its tubular outer shell is higher than the water tank, which makes it easy for the fine chips discharged from the machine tool to clog the holes of the screw tube mesh plate of the tubular outer shell. This causes the cutting fluid and iron filings in the water tank to accumulate and cannot be recycled, resulting in the machine tool's water tank malfunctioning. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the problem in existing technologies where fine debris easily clogs the holes in the spiral mesh plate of the tubular outer shell, causing the accumulation of cutting fluid and iron filings in the main water tank and preventing its recycling. The following technical solution is proposed:

[0005] A chip removal device for a machining center includes: a tubular outer shell, the bottom of which is located inside a water tank of the machining center; multiple mounting chambers are equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the tubular outer shell; multiple through holes are opened on the surface of each mounting chamber; a filter screen is provided on the top of each mounting chamber; and a reciprocating push plate is provided inside each mounting chamber.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a rotating chain is provided at the bottom of the tubular outer shell, and rotating wheels are provided at both ends of the rotating chain. One of the rotating wheels is connected to an external rotating power device. A driving magnetic block is provided on the surface of the rotating chain, and a driven magnetic block is provided at the bottom of the upper push plate. A connecting rod is provided between the driven magnetic block and the upper push plate. When the driving magnetic block is located on the rotating chain, the magnetic directions of the driving magnetic block and the driven magnetic block are opposite.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, one end of the tubular housing is provided with a discharge port, and the top of the tubular housing is provided with multiple inlets connected to the chip discharge outlets of the corresponding machining centers.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a rotating shaft is rotatably inserted inside the tubular outer shell, and auger blades are provided on the surface of the rotating shaft.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] 1. Using a fine filter screen instead of a mesh screen can block smaller cutting debris, preventing it from entering the water tank and clogging it, thus ensuring the normal operation of the water tank. The upward-moving push plate can seal the bottom of the installation compartment and push the water upward, thereby pushing away the smaller cutting debris remaining on the filter screen and allowing it to be discharged with the water flow stirred by the auger blades, thus preventing the filter screen from clogging and failing to work properly.

[0011] 2. Setting multiple drive magnetic blocks can increase the pushing frequency of the upper push plate, which can clean the filter screen in multiple installation chambers, increase the discharge efficiency of small cutting chips, and further reduce the chance of filter screen clogging.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model embodiments clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Figures 1-3 A chip removal device for a machining center includes: a tubular housing 10, the bottom of which is located inside the water tank of the machining center; a plurality of mounting chambers 20 are equidistantly arranged at the bottom of the tubular housing 10; a plurality of through holes 21 are opened on the surface of the mounting chambers 20; a filter screen 30 is provided on the top of the mounting chambers 20; and a reciprocating push plate 40 is provided inside the mounting chambers 20.

[0018] Using a fine filter screen 30 instead of a mesh plate can block smaller cutting debris, preventing it from entering the water tank and clogging it, thus ensuring the normal operation of the water tank. The upward-moving push plate 40 can seal the bottom of the installation chamber 20 and cause water to flow upward, thereby pushing away the smaller cutting debris remaining on the filter screen 30 and allowing it to be discharged with the water flow stirred by the auger blades 70, preventing the filter screen 30 from clogging and failing to work properly.

[0019] Figures 1-3 In the process, a rotating chain 51 is provided at the bottom of the tubular outer shell 10, and rotating wheels 52 are provided at both ends of the rotating chain 51. One of the rotating wheels 52 is connected to an external rotating power device. A driving magnetic block 53 is provided on the surface of the rotating chain 51. There are multiple driving magnetic blocks 53, and the driving magnetic blocks 53 located at the upper and lower parts of the rotating chain 51 are staggered and not at the bottom of the driven magnetic block 54. A driven magnetic block 54 is provided at the bottom of the upper push plate 40. A connecting rod 55 is provided between the driven magnetic block 54 and the upper push plate 40. When the driving magnetic block 53 is located on the rotating chain 51, the magnetic directions of the driving magnetic block 53 and the driven magnetic block 54 are opposite.

[0020] Setting multiple drive magnets 53 can increase the pushing frequency of the upper push plate 40, and can increase the discharge efficiency of small cutting chips by cleaning the filter screens 30 in multiple installation chambers 20, further reducing the probability of filter screen 30 clogging.

[0021] Figure 1 In the process, the tubular housing 10 is provided with a discharge port 11 at one end, and the top of the tubular housing 10 is provided with a plurality of inlets 12 connected to the chip discharge outlets of the corresponding machining centers.

[0022] The tubular outer shell 10 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 60, and the surface of the rotating shaft 60 is provided with auger blades 70.

[0023] Working principle: When used in a machining center, cutting chips enter the feed inlet 12 from the chip outlet. The rotating shaft 60 drives the auger blades 70 to transport the cutting chips collected in the tubular housing 10 until the cutting chips are discharged from the discharge outlet 11. Smaller cutting chips that do not move with the water flow fall onto the surface of the filter screen 30. The rotating wheel 52 drives the rotating chain 51 to rotate, causing the drive magnetic block 53 to pass through the bottom of the mounting chamber 20. Since the drive magnetic block 53 and the driven magnetic block 54 have opposite magnetic directions, the driven magnetic block 54 is repelled by the magnetic force and moves upward quickly, pushing the connecting rod 55 to move. The upper push plate 40 then passes through the through hole 21 to seal the bottom of the mounting chamber 20. The water collected inside the mounting chamber 20 is quickly pushed upward by the upper push plate 40. The smaller cutting chips that fall onto the surface of the filter screen 30 can then move forward with the water flow stirred by the auger blades 70, thereby gradually discharging the smaller cutting chips from the tubular housing 10.

[0024] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
