Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bellows-style protective covers, specifically a chip-resistant bellows-style CNC machine tool protective cover. Background Technology
[0002] An accordion-style CNC machine tool protective cover is a protective device for CNC machine tools. Its shape is folded, resembling the pleats of an accordion. This type of cover is typically made of a combination of flexible materials and a supporting frame. It can extend and fold with the reciprocating movement of the machine tool's moving parts, effectively isolating chips, oil, coolant, and other debris generated during machining, preventing them from entering critical components such as the machine tool guideways and lead screws. It is an important protective component for maintaining the accuracy and extending the service life of CNC machine tools.
[0003] The prior art discloses an accordion-style protective cover with application number 202022681377.1, comprising an outer protective layer. The outer protective layer is repeatedly folded to form several retractable first corrugated segments of a certain width, with a first peak or trough formed between adjacent first corrugated segments. An inner protective layer is provided on the inner side of the outer protective layer. The inner protective layer is repeatedly folded to form several retractable second corrugated segments of a certain width, with a second peak or trough formed between adjacent second corrugated segments. The outer and inner protective layers are connected by a frame between corresponding first and second peaks to achieve synchronous expansion and contraction. In the above-mentioned utility model, the inner protective layer acts as a blocking structure, blocking the inside of the fold. When cracks or holes appear at the fold, the inner protective layer blocks the seeping cutting fluid, water, and other liquids on the outside of the inner protective layer and guides them outward along the outer protective layer, preventing the cutting fluid, water, and other liquids from seeping into the protective cover and damaging the transmission components, thus ensuring the transmission accuracy and service life of the transmission components.
[0004] The aforementioned device is designed with an inner protective layer to prevent damage to the protective cover. However, since the device is foldable, debris can easily enter the folding groove during CNC machine tool processing. As a result, when the machine tool's processing components are displaced, debris can easily squeeze into the folding groove, causing damage. This issue needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a chip-proof accordion-type CNC machine tool protective cover, comprising a collection mechanism 1 and a protective mechanism 2, wherein the protective mechanism 2 is movably connected to the top of the collection mechanism 1.
[0024] The protective mechanism 2 includes a connecting protective unit and an anti-dust accumulation unit. The connecting protective unit is movably connected to the top of the collecting mechanism 1, and the anti-dust accumulation unit is movably connected to the bottom of the connecting protective unit.
[0025] The collecting mechanism 1 consists of a slide rail 101, a chip discharge box 102, a chip discharge trough 103, and a collecting box 104. The chip discharge box 102 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the slide rail 101. The chip discharge trough 103 is opened at the bottom of the chip discharge box 102. The collecting box 104 is located below the slide rail 101 and covers the bottom of the slide rail 101 and the chip discharge box 102, so as to facilitate the collection of the shaken-off debris through the collecting box 104 and play the role of guiding and collecting materials.
[0026] The connection protection unit consists of a connecting frame 201, a protective cover 202, a slide groove 203, a mounting hole 204, and an adjusting groove 205. The connecting frame 201 is slidably connected to the top of the slide rail 101, and the protective cover 202 is fixedly connected between the connecting frames 201. The folding spacing of the protective cover 202 adopts a gradient design that is wider at the front and narrower at the back, making it easier for chips to slide off and less likely to accumulate. The slide groove 203 is located at the bottom of the connecting frame 201, the mounting hole 204 is located on the side of the connecting frame 201, and the adjusting groove 205 is located at the inner bottom of the connecting frame 201, playing a major role in connection protection. The anti-chip accumulation unit consists of a folding frame 21. 1. The device consists of a sliding roller 212, a mounting frame 213, and a vibration motor 214. The folding frame 211 is movably connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 201 and the protective cover 202. The sliding roller 212 is rotatably connected to the top of the folding frame 211.
