Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic chip removal technology, specifically an automatic chip removal device for machining centers. Background Technology
[0002] Automatic chip removal devices are equipment used to remove metal chips and waste during machine tool processing. They can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce workplace hazards, and are one of the most important components of existing machine tools.
[0003] A search revealed an automatic chip removal device for machine tools, with announcement number CN223000201U. This device includes a support frame and a fixed plate. A conveyor chain plate is movably mounted on the inner surface of the support frame, and support columns are symmetrically installed at the bottom left side of the support frame. This automatic chip removal device, by placing a cleaning component at the bottom left side of the conveyor chain plate, allows the drive motor to rotate the connecting component inside the fixed plate during operation. This automatically cleans the bottom outer surface of the conveyor chain plate, preventing residual metal chips from falling onto the inner surface of the support frame or the ground, thus avoiding inconvenience for subsequent cleaning work. Furthermore, because the cleaning component is positioned directly above the fixed bracket, the metal chips cleaned during cleaning automatically fall into the receiving component for collection.
[0004] The aforementioned device cleans debris from the surface of the chain plate by rotating a cleaning roller. When the cleaning roller needs maintenance, the device must be paused and restarted only after the maintenance is completed. This makes it impossible to clean debris continuously, thus reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0034] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is an automatic chip removal device for a machining center, comprising:
[0035] A frame 100 has a connecting post 310 fixedly connected to one bottom end of the frame 100, and a collection box 300 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting post 310.
[0036] The chip removal mechanism includes an upper housing lower hanging plate 210, a second motor 220, a rotating shaft 230, a connecting plate 240, a third motor 250, and a cleaning roller 260.
[0037] Two lower mounting plates 210 are fixedly connected to the bottom sides of the frame 100. A second motor 220 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower mounting plate 210. A rotating shaft 230 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the second motor 220. Two connecting plates 240 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 230. Two third motors 250 are fixedly connected to both sides of the side wall of the connecting plate 240. Two cleaning rollers 260 are fixedly connected to the power output ends of the two third motors 250. The cleaning rollers 260 are rotatably connected to the two connecting plates 240. Between plates 240, the third motor 250 is started to drive the cleaning roller 260 to rotate, cleaning the debris on the surface of the chain plate 130 into the collection box 300. When the cleaning roller 260 needs maintenance, the second motor 220 is started to drive the rotating shaft 230 to rotate. The rotating shaft 230 drives the connecting plate 240 to rotate. The connecting plate 240 drives the upper cleaning roller 260 that needs maintenance to rotate to the lower layer for maintenance. The lower cleaning roller 260 is rotated to the upper layer to continue the chip removal work, so that the chip removal work is not affected when the cleaning roller 260 is maintained.
[0038] The cleaning mechanism includes a fourth motor 410, a slide rail 420, a lead screw 430, a threaded column 440, an arc-shaped base plate 450, and a brush head 460.
[0039] The fourth motor 410 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the collection box 300, the slide rail 420 is fixedly connected to the top inside the collection box 300, the lead screw 430 is rotatably connected to the slide rail 420 and its end is fixedly connected to the power output end of the fourth motor 410, the threaded column 440 is slidably connected to the slide rail 420 and threadedly connected to the lead screw 430, the arc-shaped base plate 450 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded column 440, and the brush head 460 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped base plate 450. When the fourth motor 410 is started, it drives the lead screw 430 to rotate. The lead screw 430 drives the threaded column 440 to slide in the slide rail 420. The threaded column 440 drives the arc-shaped base plate 450 to move, so that the brush head 460 on the surface of the arc-shaped base plate 450 cleans the cleaning roller 260 that needs to be cleaned on the lower layer.
[0040] A first motor 110 is fixedly connected to one end of the side wall of the frame 100. A roller 120 is rotatably connected in the middle of the frame 100. There are multiple rollers 120. The multiple rollers 120 are rotatably connected to a chain plate 130. The first motor 110 drives one roller 120 to rotate. The roller 120 drives the chain plate 130 to drag through friction, so that the debris on the surface of the chain plate 130 is conveyed into the collection box 300.
[0041] The top of the connecting plate 240 has a threaded hole 241, and the top of the connecting plate 240 is fitted with an arc plate 280. Screws 290 are inserted into both ends of the arc plate 280 and are threaded into the threaded hole 241. The end of the cleaning roller 260 is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft 261. The screws 290 are screwed into the connecting plate 240 after passing through the holes at both ends of the arc plate 280, making it convenient to replace the cleaning roller 260.
[0042] The lower hanging plate 210 is fixedly connected to the side wall with a guard plate 270. There are two guard plates 270. The guard plates 270 prevent the cleaning roller 260 from sweeping the debris on the surface of the chain plate 130 out of the collection box 300.
[0043] Working principle: The third motor 250 is started to drive the cleaning roller 260 to rotate, cleaning the debris on the surface of the chain plate 130 into the collection box 300. When the cleaning roller 260 needs maintenance, the second motor 220 is started to drive the rotating shaft 230 to rotate. The rotating shaft 230 drives the connecting plate 240 to rotate. The connecting plate 240 drives the upper cleaning roller 260 that needs maintenance to rotate to the lower layer for maintenance. The lower cleaning roller 260 is rotated to the upper layer to continue the chip removal work. The fourth motor 410 is started to drive the lead screw 430 to rotate. The lead screw 430 drives the threaded column 440 to slide in the slide rail 420. The threaded column 440 drives the arc-shaped base plate 450 to move, so that the brush head 460 on the surface of the arc-shaped base plate 450 cleans the lower cleaning roller 260 that needs cleaning. This ensures that the chip removal work is not affected when the cleaning roller 260 is maintained, achieving uninterrupted operation and improving chip removal efficiency.
[0044] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:
[0045] A collection box 510 is slidably connected inside the collection box 300. A handle 520 is fixedly connected to the end of the collection box 510. A limiting component 530 is fixedly connected to the front of the collection box 300. When debris falls into the collection box 510 inside the collection box 300, the collection box 510 is pulled out by pulling the handle 520 to clean out the debris inside the collection box 510. The limiting component 530 restricts and fixes the collection box 510 inside the collection box 300.
[0046] The limiting component 530 includes a square tube 531, an inclined column 532, a tie column 533, and a spring 534;
[0047] The square tube 531 is fixedly connected to the front of the collection box 300. The inclined column 532 is slidably connected inside the square tube 531. The pull column 533 is fixedly connected to the top of the inclined column 532. The two ends of the spring 534 are fixedly connected to the top of the inclined column 532 and the top of the square tube 531, respectively. When the collection box 510 is pushed in, the side wall of the inclined column 532 squeezes the inclined column 532 into the square tube 531 through the side wall of the inclined column 532, and compresses the spring 534. When the collection box 510 is pushed in, the spring 534 rebounds and drives the inclined column 532 to slide out of the square tube 531, blocking the collection box 510. When it is necessary to pull out the collection box 510, the pull column 533 is pulled to drive the inclined column 532 to slide into the square tube 531 and then the collection box 510 is pulled out.
[0048] The collection box 510 has a slanted opening 511 in the middle of its side wall. The top of the inclined column 532 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 535 around its perimeter. The bottom of the square tube 531 is fixedly connected to the baffle 536. The top of the pull column 533 is fixedly connected to the pull plate 537. The slanted opening 511 contacts the inclined surface of the inclined column 532, causing the inclined column 532 to be squeezed and slid into the square tube 531. The baffle 536 blocks the sliding plate 535 to prevent the inclined column 532 from sliding out and detaching from the square tube 531. The pull plate 537 facilitates the pulling of the pull column 533.
[0049] Working principle: When the collection box 510 is pushed in, the side wall of the inclined column 532 is pressed into the square tube 531 by the side wall of the inclined column 532, and the spring 534 is compressed. When the collection box 510 is pushed in, the spring 534 rebounds and drives the inclined column 532 to slide out of the square tube 531, blocking the collection box 510 and causing the debris to fall into the collection box 510 in the collection box 300. When it is necessary to clean the debris in the collection box 510, the pull plate 537 is pulled to drive the pull column 533 to pull the inclined column 532 into the square tube 531. Then, the handle 520 drives the collection box 510 to be pulled out, cleaning out the debris in the collection box 510. This makes it easy to clean the collection box 510 while preventing the collection box 510 from slipping out.
