[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 A laser milling and turning composite machine tool includes a bed 1, a spindle 5 fixedly mounted on the left end of the bed 1, and a tailstock 2 mounted on the guide rail at the right end of the bed 1. The bed 1 is the basic support structure of the machine tool, used to install and support other components. The tailstock 2 is used to support the workpiece. A slide saddle 6 is provided between the spindle 5 and the tailstock 2. The slide saddle 6 sits on the guide rail in the middle of the bed 1. A tool turret 4 is fixedly mounted on the top motion platform of the slide saddle 6. The tool turret 4 is used to install tools. The spindle 5 is used to clamp the workpiece and drive it to rotate. The slide saddle 6 drives the tool or workpiece to perform feed motion in the horizontal direction. The bed 1 also includes a Z-axis transmission device 3, which is vertically integrated on the side of the spindle box. The Z-axis transmission device 3 is responsible for moving the tool or workpiece in the vertical direction.

[0025] A chip removal device 7 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the bed 1. The chip removal device 7 includes a device housing 701. The device housing 701 includes a front collection chamber and a rear processing chamber. A fan housing 702 is installed in the device housing 701 at one end of the collection chamber. A negative pressure fan 707 is installed inside the fan housing 702. A rotating shaft 704 located in the collection chamber is fixed on one side of the rotation center of the negative pressure fan 707. A chip removal auger 705 located in the collection chamber is arranged around the rotating shaft 704. A baffle plate 706 is fixed at one end of the front side of the collection chamber of the device housing 701. A baffle plate 708 installed in the collection chamber is arranged inside the baffle plate 706. An outlet 712 located below the baffle plate 708 is opened in the collection chamber. A number of ventilation holes 716 corresponding to the collection chamber inside the device housing 701 are opened on one side of the fan housing 702. An outlet 713 corresponding to the processing chamber inside the device housing 701 is opened on the lower side of the fan housing 702.

[0026] When the machine tool is cutting a workpiece, a large amount of chips, waste and smoke are generated. The chip removal device 7 on the machine bed 1 is started, and the negative pressure fan 707 in the fan housing 702 inside the machine bed 1 is started. The negative pressure fan 707 creates a negative pressure in the device housing 701, so that the generated chips and smoke first enter the collection chamber of the device housing 701. Due to the setting of the baffle plate 708 on the inner side of the baffle plate 706, the chips cannot enter the fan housing 702, causing damage to the negative pressure fan 707. The smoke can enter the fan housing 702 through the collection chamber, and then enter the processing chamber of the device housing 701 through the second discharge port 713. The chips blocked by the baffle plate 708 are discharged into the processing chamber of the device housing 701 through the first discharge port 712, and enter the processing chamber of the device housing 701 together with the smoke and waste. The lower side of the processing chamber of the device housing 701 is connected to the outlet pipe 703, and finally discharged through the outlet pipe 703.

[0027] A first spur gear 714 is fixed to one end of a dust removal auger 705. A second spur gear 715 is provided on one side of the first spur gear 714, meshing with the second spur gear 715. A pulley 709 located outside the first spur gear 714 is fixed to one end of a rotating shaft 704, and a second pulley 710 is fixed to the outside of the second spur gear 715. Corresponding belts 711 are fitted around the pulleys 709 and 710. When the negative pressure fan 707 operates, the negative pressure fan 707 controls the rotation of the connected rotating shaft 704. 4 drives one end pulley 709 to rotate, and through the linkage of pulley 711 and pulley 710, causes the second spur gear 715 inside the device housing 701 to rotate. The second spur gear 715 drives the first spur gear 714 meshing on one side to rotate. The first spur gear 714 drives the fixed chip removal auger 705 to rotate. The rotating chip removal auger 705 rotates and pushes the debris sucked into the collection chamber of the device housing 701. The debris is pushed by the rotating chip removal auger 705 and discharged into the internal processing chamber of the device housing 701 through the discharge port 712.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
