Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a chip conveying device, belonging to the field of chip turnover technology. Background Technology

[0002] When setting up a production line in a workshop, multiple machine tools will be arranged for processing at the same time. These machine tools will generate a large amount of machining chips during the machining process. In order not to affect the subsequent machining of the machine tools and to ensure a clean working environment in the workshop, a large amount of chips need to be cleaned up in time and transported to a centralized chip storage area for further centralized processing.

[0003] Each existing machine tool is equipped with a machine tool operator. Facing the continuous processing of the machine tools in the workshop, a trolley can be placed at the end of the chip conveyor of the machine tool to collect chips. The machine tool operator pushes the trolley to continuously transfer the chips to the designated location, i.e., the centralized chip storage area. This chip handling method has two problems. On the one hand, each machine tool operator needs to spend a lot of time transferring chips. The chips are relatively heavy, and the operators have to spend time and effort on transferring and moving them, which increases the labor intensity of the operators. On the other hand, each machine tool operator needs to devote some energy and time to transferring and moving chips, which will affect the production efficiency of the machine tool. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a chip conveying device.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a chip conveying device, including a vehicle body and a traction component installed on the vehicle body, wherein the bottom of the vehicle body is provided with wheels, and the vehicle body is provided with a chip receiving cavity for holding chips; The traction assembly includes a traction plate disposed at one end of the vehicle body and a traction mechanism disposed at the other end of the vehicle body. The traction mechanism includes a fixed sleeve, a traction shaft disposed on the fixed sleeve, a sliding sleeve fitted on the traction shaft, and a movable traction member connected to the rear side of the sliding sleeve. The fixed sleeve is disposed on the vehicle body. The sliding sleeve has a movable chamber for accommodating the traction shaft. The free end of the movable traction member has a traction hole. The traction plate has a pin hole for installing a pin shaft. The sliding sleeve can move up and down on the traction shaft. With the sliding sleeve cooperating with the traction shaft, the movable traction member can be in a vertically retracted state or a horizontally traction state.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the traction assembly is not in use, the movable traction component can be lifted and released. Under gravity, the sliding sleeve will move downwards, and the side wall connecting the sliding sleeve and the movable traction component will move down to the traction shaft position. The movable traction component and the sliding sleeve will then be in a vertical position against the side wall of the vehicle body, occupying little space and not interfering with the movement of the conveying device. In use, the movable traction component is pulled upwards and rotated to a horizontal position. This movable traction component can cooperate with the traction plate of an adjacent conveying device. Then, a pin is inserted into the pin hole, enabling series connection between adjacent conveying devices. With two, three, or even more units, the traction plate on the foremost conveying device can be connected to the tractor via pins, enabling automatic turnover and conveying of chips by the tractor. This saves time and labor, allowing for centralized chip turnover and conveying by a single operator, without distracting the machine operator's attention and time. It ensures centralized chip collection and timely automatic conveying, preventing excessive chip accumulation that could overload and jam the chip conveyor. It also effectively guarantees a clean working environment in the production workshop, significantly improving chip turnover efficiency. In summary, this invention features a simple structure, easy-to-retract traction components, and convenient connection to the tractor and adjacent conveying devices. It is convenient and timely to operate, saving time and labor, and improving chip transfer and conveying efficiency. It can meet the needs of automated chip conveying and collection for machine tools, ensuring a clean, orderly, and environmentally friendly workshop.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0008] Furthermore, the vehicle body includes a base and a bucket disposed on the base, the wheels are disposed on the base, and the debris receiving cavity is disposed inside the bucket.

[0009] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the vehicle body includes a bucket and a base. The vehicle body adopts a split structure, which facilitates the separate maintenance of the bucket or the base, reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance. The chip receiving cavity is set in the bucket to ensure effective chip collection. The base supports the bucket to ensure the stability and reliability of the vehicle body. This structure can also improve the practicality and flexibility of the device.

[0010] Furthermore, the cargo bed is connected to the vehicle base via a tilting mechanism.

[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, when the hopper cannot be tilted, it is time-consuming and laborious to manually dump the chips in the chip conveying device. The tilting mechanism can easily adjust the angle of the hopper, thereby facilitating the unloading of chips. This not only improves the chip unloading efficiency but also reduces the labor intensity of operators, making the chip dumping operation simpler and more convenient.

[0012] Furthermore, the tilting mechanism includes a bushing and a rotating shaft that is inserted into the bushing. Tilting brackets are provided on both sides of the vehicle base. The bushing is mounted on the tilting bracket, and the rotating shaft is mounted on both sides of the vehicle bed.

[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that there are two tilting brackets on the base of the truck bed on both sides, and each tilting bracket has a bushing on its inner wall. A rotating shaft is installed on the left and right side walls of the truck bed, and the free end of the rotating shaft can be inserted into the bushing and rotate relative to the bushing, thereby realizing the tilting of the truck bed. Under the action of the tilting mechanism, the truck bed can be tilted from a horizontal state to an inclined state, facilitating chip unloading and improving chip dumping efficiency. After tilting, the truck bed can quickly return to a horizontal state, facilitating subsequent chip loading. The tilting mechanism has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has low maintenance costs.

[0014] Furthermore, a locking mechanism is provided between the truck bed and the truck base.

[0015] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the hopper with the tipping function is more convenient and faster to dump chips. However, the hopper may be unstable during the chip conveying process. Therefore, a locking mechanism is required to lock the hopper during conveying to ensure the stability of the hopper during the conveying process. When it is necessary to dump chips, the locking mechanism can be released, which is convenient to operate.

[0016] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a hook and a hanging groove. One end of the hook is hinged to the truck bed or truck base, and the other end is provided with a hook portion that cooperates with the hanging groove. The hanging groove is provided on the truck base or truck bed.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the locking mechanism ensures that the bucket is securely locked to the base during transport, preventing accidental shaking or overturning of the bucket, thus guaranteeing stable chip transport and operator safety. The combination of the hook and the slot is simple to operate, facilitating quick locking and unlocking by operators and improving chip turnover and transport efficiency. For example, one end of the hook can be hinged to the bucket, and the slot can be set on the base. When the bucket needs to be stabilized, the hook can be engaged with the slot, ensuring stable and reliable transport. When it is necessary to empty the chips, the hook can be disengaged from the slot, allowing the bucket to be tilted to dump the chips.

[0018] Furthermore, the vehicle body is also provided with a liquid recovery chamber, and a perforated plate is provided between the liquid recovery chamber and the debris receiving cavity.

[0019] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the chips in the chip collection cavity will also carry a small amount of cutting fluid. The perforated plate allows the cutting fluid to flow through the mesh into the fluid recovery chamber, while the chips are blocked in the chip collection cavity, achieving effective separation of cutting fluid and chips. The fluid recovery chamber facilitates the collection and storage of cutting fluid for subsequent recycling and reuse, thereby improving resource utilization and reducing production costs.

[0020] Furthermore, the vehicle body is also equipped with a drain valve for releasing the liquid collected in the liquid recovery chamber.

[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the drain valve allows users to promptly discharge cutting fluid and other liquids collected in the fluid recovery chamber, preventing liquid accumulation in the vehicle body. Waste fluid recovery via the drain valve is environmentally friendly and energy-saving, and prevents cutting fluid from contaminating the workshop during chip transport and handling.

[0022] Furthermore, the vehicle body is also equipped with push-pull handles.

[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions are that when multiple machine tools are processing a large amount of chips, the chip conveying device can be connected to a tractor through a traction component, and multiple chip conveying devices can also be connected in series. The tractor can then automatically convey the chips, allowing one person to operate and collect a large amount of chips. When there are few machine tools being processed, such as only one machine tool, one chip conveying device is sufficient. The push-pull handle on the chip conveying device facilitates the movement and operation of the vehicle by the operator, making it easy to move the vehicle and making the chip conveying device more flexible and labor-saving in the workshop or factory.

[0024] Furthermore, the bottom of the vehicle body is provided with forklift holes.

[0025] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the forklift hole can be set at the bottom of the vehicle body. The setting of the forklift hole on the vehicle body allows the chip conveying device to be moved and transported by a forklift, which improves the flexibility and convenience of the device; it can also meet the function of forklift dumping chips, adapt to different conveying needs, and further improve chip cleaning efficiency.

[0027] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to examples. The examples are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0028] Example 1, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, a chip conveying device includes a vehicle body and a traction assembly mounted on the vehicle body. The bottom of the vehicle body is provided with wheels 8, and the vehicle body is provided with a chip receiving cavity for holding chips. The traction assembly includes a traction plate 1 disposed at one end of the vehicle body and a traction mechanism disposed at the other end of the vehicle body. The traction mechanism includes a fixed sleeve 2, a traction shaft 3 disposed on the fixed sleeve 2, a sliding sleeve 4 fitted on the traction shaft 3, and a movable traction member 5 connected to the rear side of the sliding sleeve 4. The fixed sleeve 2 is disposed on the vehicle body. The sliding sleeve 4 has a movable chamber for accommodating the traction shaft 3. The free end of the movable traction member 5 has a traction hole. The traction plate 1 has a pin hole 101 for installing a pin shaft 19. The sliding sleeve 4 can move up and down on the traction shaft 3. With the sliding sleeve 4 cooperating with the traction shaft 3, the movable traction member 5 can be in a vertically retracted state or a horizontally traction state.

[0029] The vehicle body includes a base 7 and a bucket 6 mounted on the base 7. Wheels 8 are mounted on the base 7, and a chip-receiving cavity is located within the bucket 6. The vehicle body, comprising the bucket 6 and the base 7, adopts a split structure, facilitating individual maintenance of either the bucket 6 or the base 7, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost. The chip-receiving cavity within the bucket 6 ensures effective chip containment, while the base 7 supports the bucket 6, ensuring the stability and reliability of the vehicle body. This structure also improves the practicality and flexibility of the device.

[0030] The truck bed 6 is connected to the truck base 7 via a tilting mechanism. If the truck bed 6 cannot be tilted, manually emptying the chip conveyor is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The tilting mechanism allows for easy adjustment of the angle of the truck bed 6, facilitating chip unloading. This not only improves chip unloading efficiency but also reduces the labor intensity of operators, making chip emptying simpler and more convenient.

[0031] The flipping mechanism includes a bushing 9 and a rotating shaft 10 that is inserted into the bushing 9. Flipping brackets 11 are respectively provided on both sides of the base 7. The bushing 9 is mounted on the flipping bracket 11, and the rotating shaft 10 is located on both sides of the truck bed 6. There are two flipping brackets 11 on the base 7 on both sides of the truck bed 6. Each flipping bracket 11 has a bushing 9 on its inner wall. Rotating shafts 10 are respectively installed on the left and right side walls of the truck bed 6. The free end of the rotating shaft 10 can be inserted into the bushing 9 and can rotate relative to the bushing 9, thereby achieving the flipping of the truck bed 6. Under the action of the flipping mechanism, the truck bed 6 can be flipped from a horizontal state to an inclined state, facilitating chip unloading and improving chip dumping efficiency. After being dumped, the truck bed 6 can quickly return to a horizontal state, facilitating subsequent chip loading. The flipping mechanism has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has low maintenance costs.

[0032] A locking mechanism is also provided between the hopper 6 and the base 7. The hopper 6 with the tilting function makes it more convenient and faster to dump chips. However, the hopper 6 may be unstable during the chip conveying process. Therefore, a locking mechanism is needed to lock the hopper 6 during conveying to ensure its stability. When it is necessary to dump chips, the locking mechanism can be released, which is convenient to operate.

[0033] The locking mechanism includes a hook 12 and a slot 13. One end of the hook 12 is hinged to the bucket 6 or the base 7, and the other end has a hook that engages with the slot 13, which is located on the base 7 or the bucket 6. The locking mechanism ensures that the bucket 6 is securely locked to the base 7 during transport, preventing accidental shaking or overturning and ensuring stable chip transport and operator safety. The operation of the hook 12 and slot 13 is simple, facilitating quick locking and unlocking by operators and improving chip turnover and transport efficiency. For example, if one end of the hook 12 is hinged to the bucket 6 and the slot 13 is located on the base 7, the hook of the hook 12 can be engaged with the slot 13 when the bucket 6 needs stabilization, ensuring stable and reliable transport. When it is necessary to empty the chips, the hook of the hook 12 can be disengaged from the slot 13, allowing the bucket 6 to overturn and empty the chips.

[0034] The vehicle body also includes a liquid recovery chamber 14, with a perforated plate 15 positioned between the liquid recovery chamber 14 and the chip receiving cavity. The chips in the chip receiving cavity may contain a small amount of cutting fluid. The perforated plate 15 allows the cutting fluid to flow through the mesh into the liquid recovery chamber 14, while the chips are trapped within the chip receiving cavity, effectively separating the cutting fluid from the chips. The liquid recovery chamber 14 facilitates the collection and storage of cutting fluid for subsequent recycling and reuse, thereby improving resource utilization and reducing production costs.

[0035] The vehicle body is also equipped with a drain valve 16 for releasing the liquid collected in the liquid recovery chamber 14. The drain valve 16 facilitates the timely discharge of cutting fluid and other liquids collected in the liquid recovery chamber 14, preventing liquid accumulation in the vehicle body. Waste liquid recovery through the drain valve 16 is environmentally friendly and energy-saving, and prevents cutting fluid from polluting the workshop during chip transport and turnover.

[0036] The vehicle body is also equipped with a push-pull handle 17. When multiple machine tools are processing a large amount of chips, the chip conveying device can be connected to the tractor through the traction component, and multiple chip conveying devices can also be connected in series. The tractor can realize the automatic conveying of chips, so one person can operate it to complete the collection of a large amount of chips. When there are few machine tools being processed, such as one machine tool, one chip conveying device is sufficient. The push-pull handle 17 on the chip conveying device makes it easy for the operator to move and operate the vehicle body, making it easy to move the vehicle body and making the chip conveying device more flexible and labor-saving in the workshop or factory.

[0037] Example 2, as Figures 7-10 As shown, the vehicle body is not equipped with a tilting mechanism or a locking mechanism.

[0038] The bottom of the vehicle body is provided with a forklift hole 18. The forklift hole 18 can be set at the bottom of the vehicle body base 7. The setting of the forklift hole 18 on the vehicle body allows the chip conveying device to be transported and moved by a forklift, improving the flexibility and convenience of the device; it can also meet the function of forklift chip unloading, adapt to different conveying needs, and further improve chip cleaning efficiency. The rest of the structure is the same as in Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The hopper 6 of the chip conveying device can meet the timed chip delivery capacity requirements. The wheels 8 on the base 7 may include two omnidirectional wheels and two directional wheels. The wheels 8 rotate omnidirectionally, and the tilting mechanism ensures that the chips in the hopper 6 are dumped more conveniently. The traction plate 1 has slots for the free ends of adjacent movable traction members 5 to be inserted. The movable traction members 5 are inserted into the slots, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the pin 19 passes through the pin hole 101 and the traction hole to connect adjacent conveying devices. The traction assembly ensures that adjacent chip conveying devices can be hung together sequentially, and the transfer and conveying of chips is achieved by connecting the traction vehicle and the traction plate 1. Two fixed sleeves 2 are fixed on the vehicle base 7. The traction shaft 3 can be a bolt. The shank of the bolt passes through one fixed sleeve 2, the sliding sleeve 4, and the other fixed sleeve 2, and is locked by a nut. The bolt thread passes through the sliding sleeve 4, which can move up and down. One end of the movable traction member 5 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 4. In use, the movable traction member 5 is pulled up and rotated to a horizontal position, hung in the traction plate 1 of the adjacent chip conveying device, and the pin 19 is inserted to fix it. When not in use, the movable traction member 5 is lifted and released. The sliding sleeve 4 moves down due to gravity, the bolt is in the upper position of the sliding sleeve 4, and the movable traction member 5 will be placed against the side wall of the conveying device. The traction mechanism is retracted, saving space. The movable traction component 5 is easy to deploy and retract, and the wheels 8 allow the entire device to move flexibly, adapting to different working environments and needs. This chip conveying device plays a crucial role in the transportation of chips during the transfer process. The traction component can allow multiple chip conveying devices to be sequentially attached together, and it can also be connected to a tractor vehicle to enable automatic transport of chips to a centralized chip collection point driven by the tractor vehicle.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
