A collection box 7 is installed on the slide rails 6. Both sides of the collection box 7 are provided with slide rods 8 that are compatible with the slide rails 6. Through the sliding cooperation between the slide rods 8 and the slide rails 6, the collection box 7 can be easily pulled out, making it convenient for staff to take out and clean the internal debris. The collection box 7 is provided with a handle 10 for easy pulling operation. The bottom of the slide rail 6 is connected to a connecting plate 9. A mechanical plate 13 is installed on the connecting plate 9, which is parallel to the collection box 7. Multiple fans 14 are installed on the mechanical plate 13 at equal intervals. Ventilation ports 27 that match the fans 14 are provided on the mechanical plate 13. The airflow generated by the fans 14 when they are working can enter the collection box 7 through the ventilation ports 27, accelerating the falling and collection of debris. A sealing frame 12 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 13. The sealing frame 12 is sealed to the collection box 7 to prevent airflow from leaking out of the gaps, ensuring that the wind force generated by the fan 14 is concentrated on the collection of debris and improving the chip removal efficiency.
[0020] Preferably, by Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a fixed plate 15 is provided on the processing table 2, and a pin 16 is slidably sleeved on the fixed plate 15. A positioning plate 19 is provided on the collection box 7, and a insertion hole 21 adapted to the pin 16 is provided on the positioning plate 19. A sleeve plate 18 is sleeved and fixed on the pin 16, and a return spring 20 is sleeved on the outer ring of the pin 16. The return spring 20 is connected to the fixed plate 15 and the sleeve plate 18 respectively, and the pin 16 can move by the elastic force of the return spring 20. This structure can stably position the collection box 7, prevent it from shifting due to vibration during the operation of the tapping machine, and ensure the stability of the chip collection.
[0021] Preferably, by Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a pull button 17 is provided on the top of the plug pin 16. The pull button 17 is located above the fixing plate 15, which makes it convenient for the staff to manually pull the plug pin 16 to unlock it. The bottom end of the plug pin 16 has a beveled surface 22, which can automatically push the plug pin 16 upward when the collection box 7 is installed by contacting the beveled surface, simplifying the installation steps. A notch 25 is provided on the side of the collection box 7 away from the positioning plate 19, through which the plug pin 16 can pass, reserving space for the installation and movement of the collection box 7. The bottom of the collection box 7 is provided with multiple filter holes 26 vertically aligned with the vent 27. The filter holes 26 can filter debris to prevent it from leaking into the fan 14 area and causing equipment damage, while ensuring normal airflow. During installation, the collection box 7 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 6, and the insertion pin 16 passes through the notch 25. As the collection box 7 continues to move, its inner wall presses the insertion pin 16 through the bevel 22, thereby causing the insertion pin 16 to move upward. At the same time, the return spring 20 is compressed. When the insertion pin 16 is vertically aligned with the insertion hole 21, the elastic force of the return spring 20 can make the insertion pin 16 tightly inserted into the insertion hole 21, realizing the quick fixation of the collection box 7 without the need for additional tools, making the operation convenient.
[0022] Preferably, by Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment, the collection box 7 is provided with an observation port 11. The observation port 11 is made of colorless transparent acrylic material and is distributed on the same side as the handle 10. The staff can observe the accumulation of debris inside the collection box 7 in real time through the observation port 11 without having to pull out the collection box 7. This allows for timely cleaning when the debris is about to fill up, thus preventing debris from overflowing and affecting the debris removal effect.
[0023] Preferably, by Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the opposite sides of the two connecting plates 9 are provided with sliding grooves 23, which are adapted to the mounting plate 13, allowing the mounting plate 13 to slide along the sliding grooves 23 for easy installation and disassembly. Hand-tightening bolts 24 are threaded onto the connecting plates 9 and the mounting plate 13, and the mounting plate 13 is fixed by the hand-tightening bolts 24. When the fan 14 malfunctions and needs to be repaired or replaced, the operator only needs to loosen the hand-tightening bolts 24 to pull the mounting plate 13 out of the sliding groove 23. No complicated operation is required, which greatly improves the convenience of maintenance and ensures the continuous and stable operation of the equipment.
[0024] Components not described in detail in this article are existing technologies.
