[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This gantry CNC machining center, designed for easy debris removal, features a sludge collection box and a cleaning structure. During machining, the coolant cooling the workpiece and cutting tool carries debris as it moves towards the sludge collection box along the inclined guide block at the bottom of the groove. After machining, motor 2 drives screw 2 to rotate, which in turn moves the cleaning brush. The brush head cleans the surface of the machining plate and the inside of the groove, sweeping residual coolant and debris into the sludge collection box.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0023] A gantry CNC machining center with easy debris removal includes a base 1, a gantry machining frame 2 fixedly connected to the surface of the base 1, a control panel 21 fixedly connected to the surface of the gantry machining frame 2, a drive structure 3 on the top of the base 1, the drive structure 3 including a motor 31, a lead screw 33 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 31, two sets of slide rails 32 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a sliding plate 34 slidably connected to the surfaces of the slide rails 32 and the lead screw 33, a machining plate 4 mounted on the top of the sliding plate 34, a groove 41 formed on the top of the machining plate 4, and a guide block 42 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the groove 41. A fixing rod 43 is fixedly connected to one end of plate 4. A sludge collection box 5 is installed at the end of plate 4 near the fixing rod 43. Spring buckles 51 are fixedly connected to both sides of the sludge collection box 5 and both sides of the plate 4. A fixing plate 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the sludge collection box 5. A scraper 53 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing plate 52. A cleaning structure 6 is provided on the top of the base 1. The cleaning structure 6 includes two sets of fixing blocks 61. A second motor 62 is fixedly connected to the surface of each of the two sets of fixing blocks 61. A second lead screw 63 is fixedly connected to the output end of each of the two sets of second motors 62. A cleaning brush 64 is slidably connected to the surface of the second lead screw 63. A cleaning brush 64 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning brush 64. The system includes a brush head 65, a sludge collection box 5, and a cleaning structure 6. During processing, the coolant cooling the workpiece and cutting tool carries debris and moves towards the sludge collection box 5 along with the inclined surface of the guide block 42 at the bottom of the groove 41. After processing, the motor 62 drives the lead screw 63 to rotate, which in turn moves the cleaning brush 64. The brush head 65 cleans the surface of the processing plate 4 and the inside of the groove 41, sweeping the residual coolant and debris into the sludge collection box 5. The sludge collection box 5 is first inserted into the processing plate 4 and then fixed to it by a spring latch 51, facilitating the installation and removal of the sludge collection box 5 and the removal of debris and coolant generated during processing. The cleaning and collection process reduces the workload of workers and is highly efficient. A scraper 53 is installed. When the brush head 65 moves and cleans on the processing plate 4 and the groove 41, some debris and coolant may adhere to the inside of the brush head 65. When the brush head 65 is removed from the surface of the processing plate 4, the debris and coolant may fall into the interior of the base 1, increasing the difficulty of cleaning. When the brush head 65 moves and contacts the scraper 53, the scraper 53 scrapes off the debris and coolant adhering to the inside of the brush head 65, preventing the debris and coolant from moving with the brush head 65 and further increasing cleaning efficiency. This also prevents debris and coolant from adhering to the brush head 65 and affecting the cleaning process.
[0024] Furthermore, motor 31 and the two sets of motors 62 are electrically connected to control panel 21, which is electrically connected to an external power source. Motor 31 and the two sets of motors 62 are controlled through control panel 21. The two sets of motors 62 can run synchronously. The synchronous operation of the motors is a prior art technology, and they are powered by an external power source.
[0025] Furthermore, a threaded groove is provided at the bottom of the sliding plate 34, and sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the bottom of the sliding plate 34. The sliding plate 34 is slidably connected to the surface of the lead screw 33 and the slide rail 32 through the threaded groove and the sliding groove. The motor 31 drives the lead screw 33 to rotate. The threaded groove cooperates with the lead screw 33 to drive the sliding plate 34 to move. When the sliding plate 34 moves, the sliding groove cooperates with the slide rail 32 to limit the sliding plate 34 and increase the stability of the sliding plate 34 when it moves.
[0026] Furthermore, the guide block 42 is inclined at the bottom of the groove 41. The cross-section of the guide block 42 is triangular. The end of the guide block 42 near the sludge collection tank 5 is lower than the end of the guide block 42 away from the sludge collection tank 5. The coolant that cools the workpiece and the tool carries the debris and moves towards the inside of the sludge collection tank 5 with the inclined surface of the guide block 42 at the bottom of the groove 41, which facilitates the collection of coolant and debris.
[0027] Furthermore, a circular groove is provided on the surface of the sludge collection box 5. The sludge collection box 5 is slidably connected to the surface of the fixing rod 43 through the circular groove. The sludge collection box 5 is first inserted into the processing plate 4 and then fixed to each other by the spring buckle 51, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the sludge collection box 5.
[0028] Furthermore, the cleaning brush 64 is C-shaped, and both ends of the cleaning brush 64 are provided with threaded grooves. The cleaning brush 64 is slidably connected to the surface of the two sets of lead screws 63 through the threaded grooves. The two ends of the cleaning brush 64 are slidably connected to the top of the two sets of fixed blocks 61 respectively. The motor 62 drives the lead screws 63 to rotate, which drives the cleaning brush 64 to move. The brush head 65 cleans the surface of the processing plate 4 and the inside of the groove 41.
[0029] Furthermore, the bottom of the brush head 65 contacts the surface of the guide block 42, and the brush head 65 can thoroughly clean the surface of the processing plate 4 and the inside of the groove 41. When it moves to the sludge collection box 5, as the brush head 65 moves, the scraper 53 will insert into the inside of the brush head 65 to scrape off the debris and coolant adhering to the inside of the brush head 65.
[0030] Working principle: During processing, the coolant cooling the workpiece and cutting tool carries debris and moves towards the inside of the sludge collection tank 5 as the guide block 42 at the bottom of the groove 41 tilts. After processing, the motor 62 drives the lead screw 63 to rotate, which in turn moves the cleaning brush 64. The brush head 65 cleans the surface of the processing plate 4 and the inside of the groove 41, sweeping the residual coolant and debris into the sludge collection tank 5. The sludge collection tank 5 is first inserted into the processing plate 4 and then fixed to it by the spring latch 51. This facilitates the installation and removal of the sludge collection box 5. When the brush head 65 moves and cleans on the processing plate 4 and the groove 41, some debris and coolant will stick to the inside of the brush head 65. When the brush head 65 is removed from the surface of the processing plate 4, the debris and coolant may fall into the inside of the base 1, increasing the difficulty of cleaning. When the brush head 65 moves and contacts the scraper 53, the scraper 53 will scrape off the debris and coolant stuck inside the brush head 65, preventing the debris and coolant from moving with the brush head 65.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
