[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 9 A lathe for easy waste removal includes a base 11 and a turning device 10 fixedly mounted on the base 11. A collection box 12, a rectangular stainless steel structure, is provided on the upper part of the base 11 and welded to the upper surface of the base 11. A removable filter screen 13, a mesh-like stainless steel plate, is provided on the top of the collection box 12. The filter screen 13 prevents workpieces from falling into the collection box, keeping the workpiece clean. The mesh diameter is 2mm, used to filter larger debris while allowing a mixture of cutting fluid and fine debris to pass through.

[0032] Inside the collection box 12, there is a pair of rectangular push plates 14, located at opposite ends of the collection box 12 along its length. The push plates 14 are made of wear-resistant engineering plastic, their height slightly lower than the side walls of the collection box 12, and their bottoms maintain sliding contact with the groove walls of the collection box 12. Each push plate 14 is located directly below the filter screen 13. A rectangular drain 16 is located at the center of the bottom of the collection box 12, between the pair of push plates 14. Below the drain 16 is a detachable collection cart 15 for collecting the mixture of debris and oil that falls through the drain 16.

[0033] The push plate 14 is connected to a drive device, which includes racks that control the movement of each push plate 14. The racks are divided into an upper rack 41 and a lower rack 42, both made of 45 steel and surface hardened. Each rack meshes with the same gear 21, which is connected to a control motor 23 that controls its forward and reverse rotation. The control motor 23 is a 57 series stepper motor, which is fixed to the side of the base 11 by bolts.

[0034] Each rack is positioned on the outside of the collection box 12 to prevent debris contamination. The collection box 12 has an extension opening 31 along its length, which is a long, narrow opening. An extension slider 32, a T-shaped aluminum alloy block, is slidably disposed within the extension opening 31. One end of the extension slider 32 is fixedly connected to the rack, and the other end passes through the extension opening 31 and is bolted to the push plate 14, thereby achieving linkage between the rack and the push plate 14.

[0035] An upper support block 43 is provided above the upper rack 41, and a lower support block 44 is provided below the lower rack 42. Both the upper support block 43 and the lower support block 44 are made of cast iron, and a set is provided every 300mm along the length of the rack. They are fixed to the base 11 by bolts to enhance the rigidity and motion stability of the rack.

[0036] Vertically arranged chutes 51 are provided on both sides of the outlet 16. The chutes 51 are C-shaped steel rails, which are welded and fixed to the bottom of the collection box 12.

The sliding lugs 52 are L-shaped steel plates, which can guide the collection vehicle 15 to be installed and disassembled in the lateral direction through the chutes 51.

[0037] A limiting component is provided between the chute 51 and the lug 52. The limiting component includes a hemispherical protrusion 61 provided on the inner wall of the chute 51 and a corresponding groove 62 provided on the lug 52. When the collection vehicle 15 is pushed into place, the protrusion 61 and the groove 62 engage to ensure that the opening of the collection vehicle 15 is aligned with the leak 16, thus preventing leakage.

[0038] The base 11 has a notch 7 at the bottom. The notch 7 is a rectangular opening, and its width is slightly larger than that of the collection vehicle 15, so that the collection vehicle 15 can be moved out of the base 11 as a whole for cleaning or replacement.

[0039] The lathe's operating procedure is as follows: During turning, the mixture of chips and cutting fluid is filtered through filter screen 13 and falls into the bottom of collection box 12. Control motor 23 starts, driving rack movement via gear 21, which in turn drives a pair of push plates 14 to move towards each other along the length of collection box 12, pushing the mixture to the drain 16, where it falls into the collection cart 15 below. After cleaning, control motor 23 reverses, resetting the push plates 14. When collection cart 15 is full, it can be removed vertically downwards along slide 51 for cleaning or replacement, thus achieving automatic and efficient cleaning of the chip and oil mixture, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.
