[0002] Machine tools are machines used to manufacture machines; they are also called machine tools or machine tools, and are commonly referred to simply as machine tools. They are generally divided into metal cutting machine tools, forging and pressing machine tools, and woodworking machine tools, etc. In modern mechanical manufacturing, there are many methods for processing mechanical parts. In addition to cutting, there are casting, forging, welding, stamping, extrusion, etc. However, parts with high precision requirements and fine surface roughness requirements generally need to be finally processed by cutting methods on machine tools.

[0003] During the machining process, the contact between the cutting tool and the workpiece generates a large amount of iron filings. Because the iron filings are thin strips or broken into small strips, they are difficult to collect. Furthermore, the iron filings that fall onto the machine tool are too sharp and can easily cause injury to workers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The summary section of this application is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. This summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-6 ,

[0031] A waste chip discharge structure based on a machine tool includes: a guide plate 2 and a guide channel 3; a support platform 11 is provided on the machine tool 1; two guide plates 2 are provided; one end of each guide plate 2 is connected to the support platform 11, and the other end of each guide plate 2 extends into the guide channel 3; the guide plates 2 are used to allow iron chips to slide into the guide channel 3; the guide channel 3 is located below the guide plates 2; the guide channel 3 is inclined relative to the support platform 11, and one end of the guide channel 3 extends outside the machine tool 1. The guide channel 3 is inclined at 15-45°. During the machining process, the thin strip-shaped or broken into small strip-shaped iron chips generated after the tool contacts the workpiece can fall along the guide plate 2 into the guide channel 3. After the iron chips fall onto the guide channel 3, they can slide along the extension direction of the guide channel 3 to outside the machine tool 1, which is simple to collect. At the same time, when the iron chips are discharged outside the machine tool 1, the machine tool 1 can be kept relatively clean to prevent workers from being injured.

[0032] Specifically, the machine tool 1 also includes a support block 12 and a drive component 13; the drive component 13 is a motor. The support block 12 is disposed above the guide channel 3; the support block 12 forms a support surface 121 for placing the fixture; multiple connection holes 122 for connecting to the fixture are formed on the support block 12. Multiple holes are formed on the fixture, and multiple bolts are provided to pass through the holes on the fixture and be threaded to the connection holes 122 to fix the fixture on the support block 12. On a projection perpendicular to the support platform 11, the support surface 121 is separated from the center line of the output end of the drive component 13. The machine tool 1 forms a mounting chamber, and the drive component 13 is disposed in the mounting chamber, with the output end of the drive component 13 connected to the support block 12. The other end of the support block 12 is rotatably connected to the machine tool 1. In other embodiments, drive components 13 are provided at both ends of the support block 12. In this embodiment, two guide plates 2 are arranged in a V-shape below the support block 12.

[0033] Specifically, a collection box 4 is provided at one end of the guide channel 3 extending outside the machine tool 1, and the guide channel 3 and the collection box 4 are connected. During the processing, the worker will use coolant to reduce the temperature of the workpiece and the tool. Due to gravity, the coolant falling on the tool and the workpiece will fall onto the guide plate 2 or directly into the guide channel 3. The coolant falling on the guide plate 2 can slide down along the extension direction of the guide plate 2 into the guide channel 3, and then flow into the collection box 4 provided outside the machine tool 1 along the extension direction of the guide channel 3, so that the worker can transfer or dispose of the iron filings and coolant.

[0034] Specifically, a filter box 5 is provided at one end of the guide channel 3 extending outside the machine tool 1; one end of the filter box 5 is connected to the guide channel 3, and the other end of the filter box 5 extends into the collection box 4; a filter screen is provided at the end of the filter box 5 extending into the collection box 4. The filter box 5 is used to filter the coolant and iron filings in the guide channel 3, so that the iron filings can be located inside the filter box 5, while the coolant will flow into the collection box 4 through the filter box 5, so that the workers can separate the coolant and iron filings for processing. The outer wall of the filter box 5 is provided with an insertion part 51; the insertion part 51 is a block structure. A connecting part 31 is provided on the guide channel 3; the connecting part 31 is a block structure. The connecting part 31 is provided on the outer wall of the guide channel 3 extending outside the machine tool 1. The connecting part 31 forms a groove 311 for the insertion part 51 to be inserted; a support plate 32 is provided at the bottom of the guide channel 3; when the insertion part 51 is inserted into the groove 311, the bottom of the filter box 5 abuts against the support plate 32. The support plate 32 is used to support the filter box 5, making the connection between the filter box 5 and the guide channel 3 more stable. In other embodiments, a first connecting plate is provided on the filter box 5, and a second connecting plate is provided at the end of the guide channel 3 located outside the machine tool 1. Both the first and second connecting plates are provided with straight holes. Bolts are provided to pass through the straight holes on the first and second connecting plates in sequence and are fixed with nuts to make the guide channel 3 communicate with the filter box 5. This connection method is too cumbersome during installation and disassembly.

[0035] Specifically, the support plate 32 has multiple protrusions 321; the protrusions 321 are block-shaped structures. The filter box 5 forms multiple recesses 52; the recesses 52 are block-shaped structures. The protrusions 321 and the recesses 52 are matched in shape and size; when the insert 51 is inserted into the groove 311, the filter box 5 abuts against the support plate 32, and the protrusions 321 are inserted into the groove 311. The matching of the protrusions 321 and the recesses 52 achieves precise positioning of the filter box 5 and the support plate 32, preventing the filter box 5 from being misaligned during installation. At the same time, the cooperation of the protrusions 321, the recesses 52, the insert 51 and the groove 311 also prevents a large amount of iron filings from entering the filter box and causing it to move away from the machine tool 1. In other embodiments, the protrusion 321 has multiple strip-shaped grooves, and sealing rings are installed in the grooves. When the filter box 5 is placed on the support plate 32, the sealing rings will contact the bottom of the filter box 5, preventing some coolant from falling onto the ground along the gap between the support plate 32 and the bottom of the filter box 5. In other embodiments, magnetic blocks are installed in the strip-shaped grooves. When the filter box 5 is placed on the support plate 32, the magnetic blocks will attract the bottom of the filter box 5 to fix the filter box 5.

[0036] The above description is merely a selection of preferred embodiments of this disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above-described features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of this disclosure.
