Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vertical machining technology, and in particular to a chip removal and filtration device for vertical machining centers. Background Technology

[0002] Vertical machining centers are highly automated CNC machining equipment that play a vital role in modern manufacturing. With their high precision and efficiency, vertical machining centers are widely used in numerous fields such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace, and electronic equipment. During machining, the cutting tool generates a large amount of metal chips, and coolant is used to cool and lubricate the machining area to reduce cutting temperature and improve machining quality.

[0003] The prior art discloses a vertical machining center with easy waste chip collection, application number 202220322058.8. It includes a frame, with an open-sided box connected to the upper end of the frame. Several through holes are formed in the bottom plate inside the box. A grinding mechanism is detachably connected to the bottom plate inside the box. A dust collection mechanism is located below the box, comprising a dust collection box located below the box, a dust collection hopper connected to the dust collection box, an induced draft fan located inside the dust collection box, a partition fixedly connected to the dust collection box, a door panel hinged to the dust collection box, and a cylinder movably connected to the upper wall inside the dust collection box. The partition has an air outlet with a filter plate connected to it. The air outlet of the induced draft fan is aligned with the air outlet. The channel formed by the partition and the door panel communicates with the dust collection hopper. The telescopic end of the cylinder is movably connected to the outer wall of the door panel. This vertical machining center can prevent waste chips from scattering, reduce the impact of waste chips on grinding quality, and reduce the occurrence of hazards. However, existing technologies still suffer from limitations. Relying solely on a dust collection mechanism to gather waste chips fails to effectively separate metal chips from coolant, resulting in poor filtration of fine dust. A single filter plate is insufficient to handle complex waste chip compositions, leading to pollutants in the exhaust air and contaminating the working environment. Furthermore, the lack of an automatic cleaning mechanism for filter components makes the filter plates prone to clogging, requiring manual cleaning. This not only increases labor intensity but also impacts production efficiency due to downtime. Additionally, the complex structure of the dust collection mechanism makes disassembly and assembly cumbersome and maintenance inconvenient. Moreover, existing waste chip collection methods often result in uneven accumulation of waste chips within the collection box, reducing collection efficiency and hindering centralized processing, thus increasing subsequent processing costs. Therefore, we propose a chip removal and filtration device for vertical machining centers to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model provides a chip removal and filtration device for vertical machining centers, enabling efficient chip removal and filtration, reducing waste chip pollution to the working environment, facilitating equipment cleaning and maintenance, improving production efficiency, and reducing operating costs.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A chip removal and filtration device for a vertical machining center includes a frame, a top frame, and a platform. The frame is mounted on the upper end of the platform, and the top frame is mounted on the upper end of the frame. A porous filter plate is installed inside the frame. Dust collection hoods are installed on both sides of the frame, and the dust collection hoods are connected to a dust collection box via suction connecting pipes. A filter plate cleaning mechanism is provided on the upper end of the porous filter plate. A nozzle is installed on the upper part of the frame. A water collection trough is provided below the platform and is connected to a water collection box below. The interior of the frame is connected to a chip removal box via a connecting discharge pipe one, and the chip removal box is connected to a collection box via a connecting discharge pipe two.

[0007] Furthermore, the filter plate cleaning mechanism includes a motor, a threaded rod, a movable seat, and a cleaning brush. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the left end of the threaded rod, and the right end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the frame. The movable seat is threaded onto the outside of the threaded rod, and the cleaning brush is fixedly installed below the movable seat, with the cleaning brush in contact with the upper surface of the porous filter plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the right end of the upper surface of the porous filter plate is connected to the inlet of the feed pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, a chip removal screw is installed inside the chip removal box, and the chip removal screw is driven by a motor.

[0010] Furthermore, the second connecting feed pipe is located on the lower right side of the chip discharge box.

[0011] Furthermore, a waste collection drawer is installed at the bottom of the collection box, and the outer walls of the waste collection drawer are provided with slide rails that match the slide grooves inside the collection box.

[0012] Furthermore, the nozzle is connected to an external high-pressure water supply device via a connecting water pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, a guide plate is fixedly installed inside the collection box. The guide plate is inclined, with its higher end connected to the outlet of the connecting discharge pipe 2 and its lower end pointing towards the waste collection drawer.

[0014] Furthermore, a filter fan is installed inside the dust collection box.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. More efficient chip removal and filtration: The porous filter plate, together with the nozzle, performs initial separation of metal chips and coolant. The water collection tank and water collection box under the platform further achieve liquid-chip separation. The filtration system composed of the filter fan and multi-layer filter screen in the dust collection box can intercept dust particles of different sizes, effectively purify the air, and significantly improve the working environment.

[0017] 2. Easier cleaning and maintenance: The motor of the filter plate cleaning mechanism drives the threaded rod to rotate, causing the cleaning brush to move back and forth on the surface of the porous filter plate. Combined with the high-pressure spray nozzle, it automatically cleans the waste on the filter plate, reducing manual intervention. The components of the device adopt a modular design and are installed in a reasonable position, which facilitates disassembly and maintenance, and greatly reduces equipment downtime.

[0018] 3. More Scientific Waste Collection: Driven by motor two, the waste discharge screw in the waste discharge box transports the waste to the connecting feed pipe two. The guide plate guides the waste to fall smoothly into the waste collection drawer at the bottom of the collection box. The drawer design not only facilitates centralized waste processing and reduces subsequent processing costs, but also avoids uneven accumulation of waste in the collection box, improving collection efficiency.

[0019] In summary, this chip removal and filtration device for vertical machining centers has broad applicability, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies mentioned in the background section. These technologies rely solely on a dust collection mechanism to collect chips, failing to effectively separate metal chips from coolant. Fine dust filtration is poor, and a single filter plate is insufficient to handle complex chip compositions, resulting in pollutants in the exhaust air and contaminating the working environment. Furthermore, the lack of an automatic cleaning mechanism for filter components leads to easy clogging of the filter plates, requiring manual cleaning, which is labor-intensive and reduces production efficiency due to downtime. The dust collection mechanism is also complex, with cumbersome component disassembly and assembly, making maintenance inconvenient. Additionally, existing chip collection methods often result in uneven chip accumulation within the collection box, reducing collection efficiency and hindering centralized processing, thus increasing subsequent processing costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, but the examples given are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of this utility model includes a frame 1, a top frame 2, and a table 5. The frame 1 is installed on the upper end of the table 5, and the top frame 2 is installed on the upper end of the frame 1. Dust collection hoods 11 are installed on both sides of the frame 1. The dust collection hoods 11 are connected to the dust collection box 12 through the suction connecting pipe 13. A filter fan is installed in the dust collection box 12. When the filter fan is working, a negative pressure is formed at the dust collection hood 11, which sucks in the dust and fine chips generated during the processing. The dust and fine chips enter the dust collection box 12 through the suction connecting pipe 13 for filtration and collection, reducing the dust flying in the processing environment and improving the working environment.

[0025] A nozzle 9 is installed inside the upper part of the frame 1. The nozzle 9 is connected to an external high-pressure water supply device through a water pipe 10. The external high-pressure water supply device provides high-pressure water to the nozzle 9, and the nozzle 9 sprays water inside the frame 1 to wash away the chips generated during processing, so that the chips can fall smoothly onto the porous filter plate 14, which facilitates subsequent filtration and chip removal operations.

[0026] A water collection trough 7 is provided below the platform 5, and the water collection trough 7 is connected to the water collection tank 6 below.

[0027] The frame 1 is equipped with a porous filter plate 14. The porous filter plate 14 filters the chips, allowing water to flow through the filter holes into the water collection tank 7 below, while the chips remain on the porous filter plate 14.

[0028] A filter plate cleaning mechanism is provided at the upper end of the porous filter plate 14. The filter plate cleaning mechanism includes a motor 15, a threaded rod 16, a movable seat 17, and a cleaning brush 18. The output end of the motor 15 is fixedly connected to the left end of the threaded rod 16, and the right end of the threaded rod 16 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. The movable seat 17 is threaded onto the outside of the threaded rod 16. The cleaning brush 18 is fixedly installed below the movable seat 17 and is in contact with the upper surface of the porous filter plate 14. The motor 15 drives the threaded rod 16 to rotate, and the movable seat 17 moves linearly on the threaded rod 16. The cleaning brush 18 is fixed below the movable seat 17 and is in contact with the upper surface of the porous filter plate 14. As the movable seat 17 moves, the cleaning brush 18 cleans the upper surface of the porous filter plate 14, pushing the chips remaining on the filter plate toward the inlet of the feed pipe 8 to prevent the filter plate from clogging and ensure the filtration effect.

[0029] The interior of the frame 1 is connected to the chip discharge box 3 via the connecting feed pipe 8. The right end of the upper surface of the porous filter plate 14 is connected to the inlet of the connecting feed pipe 8. A chip discharge screw 20 is installed inside the chip discharge box 3. The chip discharge screw 20 is driven by a motor 19. The motor 19 drives the chip discharge screw 20 to rotate, conveying the chips in the chip discharge box 3 to the connecting feed pipe 21.

[0030] The chip discharge box 3 is connected to the collection box 4 via a connecting feed pipe 2. The connecting feed pipe 2 is located on the lower right side of the chip discharge box 3. A waste chip collection drawer 22 is installed at the bottom of the collection box 4. The outer walls of the waste chip collection drawer 22 are equipped with slide rails on both sides, which match the slide grooves inside the collection box 4. A guide ramp 23 is fixedly installed inside the collection box 4. The guide ramp 23 is inclined, with its higher end connected to the outlet of the connecting feed pipe 21 and its lower end pointing towards the waste chip collection drawer 22. The chips fall into the waste chip collection drawer 22 under the guidance of the guide ramp 23. The outer walls of the waste chip collection drawer 22 are equipped with slide rails on both sides, which match the slide grooves inside the collection box 4, making it easy to pull out the drawer to clean up the chips.

[0031] Furthermore, all electrical components mentioned in the text are electrically connected to an external main controller and power supply, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that provides control.

[0032] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention.
