Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lathe technology, and more specifically, to a CNC lathe guide rail cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] The guide rail mechanism on a CNC machine tool is a crucial component for controlling the stable movement of the working mechanism and the feeding mechanism. Its production quality and surface cleanliness significantly impact the normal operation of the linear drive mechanism. Currently, during lathe operation, the machine tool guide rails are generally located on the machine tool surface. During metal processing, operations such as cutting, grinding, and drilling generate a certain amount of waste chips. These chips fall near the guide rails or adhere to the upper part of the guide rails. When the working mechanism and the feeding mechanism move along the guide rails, the chips can cause instability and generate significant noise. In severe cases, this can damage the linear drive mechanism of the CNC lathe. Therefore, it is necessary to clean up the chips promptly. Traditional manual cleaning methods are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to cutting workers. Furthermore, they cannot guarantee that all the chips generated during production are cleaned up, affecting subsequent processing, and collection is inconvenient, hindering the recycling of the chips.

It has a good cleaning effect on the guide rail 2 and is highly practical.

[0028] When cleaning the guide rail 2, as the walking mechanism moves, the first cleaning plate 13 first contacts the iron filings on the guide rail 2 and pushes the iron filings away from the guide rail 2. Then the cleaning brush 14 cleans the surface of the guide rail 2 again. Finally, the remaining iron filings are cleaned by the magnetic suction roller. Through triple cleaning, the cleaning effect is improved and the stability is good.
