Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of debris recycling technology, specifically to a machine tool device for debris cleaning. Background Technology

[0002] CNC lathes are among the most widely used CNC machine tools. They are mainly used for cutting the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, inner and outer conical surfaces with arbitrary cone angles, complex rotating inner and outer curved surfaces, and cylindrical and conical threads of shaft or disc parts. They can also perform grooving, drilling, reaming, boring, and other operations. CNC machine tools automatically process the workpieces according to a pre-programmed machining program.

[0003] Patent application CN201921872633.6 discloses a chip cleaning device for CNC machine tools with magnetic adsorption function, including a cleaning sleeve for chip cleaning and adsorption and a magnet for adsorbing chips. The cleaning sleeve has a hollowed-out magnet inside. A limit ring is fixed inside one end of the cleaning sleeve. A protective cover is fixed in the middle of the outer side of the cleaning sleeve. The connecting rod is inserted through the hollowed-out center of the connecting piece.

[0004] In the cleaning process after the machine tool has completed its processing, if only a magnet is used as a cleaning tool, the magnet cannot effectively cover or attract the non-magnetic debris left after processing. The long-term accumulation of some debris can affect the accuracy of subsequent processing. Moreover, after the magnet attracts magnetic debris, it is necessary to manually peel the debris off the magnet surface, which not only adds extra cleaning steps, but may also result in incomplete cleaning due to the small size of the debris. If the residual debris is transferred with the magnet, it may also contaminate other areas. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a machine tool device with chip cleaning function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a machine tool device with a chip cleaning function, comprising a base frame, two sets of support frames fixedly connected to the bottom of the base frame, a power assembly and a processing assembly fixedly connected to the top of the base frame, a support plate fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, two sets of inclined plates fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, and two sets of protective mechanisms fixedly connected to the top of the base frame, the two sets of protective mechanisms being arranged opposite to the two sets of inclined plates, and a slot two being provided at the central axis of the support plate;

[0007] A fixing ring is fixedly connected to the central axis at the top of the support plate. Two sets of slots are opened on the surface of the support plate, and two sets of connecting holes are opened on the surface of the support plate. The two sets of connecting holes are respectively connected to the interior of the two sets of slots. A processing table is provided inside the fixing ring.

[0008] Preferably, the processing table extends through the second slot, and the second slot is a stepped cylindrical structure divided into two sections; wherein, the diameter of the lower section of the processing table is the same as the inner diameter of the second slot, and the diameter of the upper section of the processing table is larger than the inner diameter of the second slot.

[0009] Preferably, the protective mechanism includes a protective frame, which is arc-shaped. Both ends of the protective frame are in contact with the surfaces of two sets of inclined plates. The bottom of the protective mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate. A connecting box is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective frame. A connecting pipe is opened inside the connecting box. An air outlet is opened at the bottom of the connecting box and is connected to the connecting pipe. An air inlet is fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective mechanism and is connected to the connecting pipe.

[0010] Preferably, four sets of cleaning plates are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the processing table. The bottom of each of the four sets of cleaning plates is in contact with the top of the support plate, and cleaning bristles are adhered to the bottom of each of the four sets of cleaning plates. The end of each of the four sets of cleaning plates away from the processing table is in contact with the surface of the fixing ring.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the processing table is provided with a limiting mechanism, the limiting mechanism includes a horizontal plate, the top of the horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the processing table, and the side end of the horizontal plate is rotatably connected to a connecting block via a rotating shaft.

[0012] Preferably, a ball bearing is embedded at the top of the connecting block, the outer surface of the ball bearing is in contact with the bottom of the support plate, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block, and a protruding rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing block.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the connecting block has a three-slotted groove, and a connecting plate is slidably connected inside the three-slotted groove. Limiting plates are provided at both ends of the connecting block. A connecting handle is fixedly connected to the ends of the two sets of limiting plates that are far apart from each other. The two ends of the connecting plate are fixedly connected to the two sets of limiting plates respectively.

[0014] Preferably, a retaining plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting block, and a spring is fixedly connected to the central axis of the retaining plate near the connecting block, and the end of the spring away from the retaining plate is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a machine tool device with chip cleaning function, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This invention allows processing debris to slide naturally down the inclined plate at a 5°-15° slope, enabling initial cleaning with manual assistance. Furthermore, by introducing compressed gas into the air inlet pipe, the gas is divided into two paths via a connecting pipe: one path blows off attached debris along the inner wall of the protective frame, while the other directly impacts residual debris on the inclined plate surface, further enhancing the cleaning effect. Simultaneously, as the processing table rotates the cleaning plate, the bottom brushes sweep debris from inside the fixing ring into the connecting hole, where it is then collected through a slot. This multi-path cleaning approach significantly improves debris removal efficiency.

[0017] 2. In the cleaning state, the ball bearings roll into contact with the bottom of the support plate, providing stable support for the rotation of the horizontal plate driven by the processing table and reducing frictional resistance, thus ensuring efficient chip removal by the cleaning plate. When the processing table needs to be locked, the limiting plate is disengaged from the horizontal plate by pulling the connecting handle, and the handle is released after flipping the fixing block. The spring can then drive the limiting plate to reset its limit position. In conjunction with the limiting block and the protruding rod fixing connecting block, the processing table can be reliably locked.

[0018] 3. This invention can block flying debris during processing by setting an arc-shaped protective frame, preventing debris from falling to other areas of the machine tool; at the same time, the connecting box, connecting pipe and other structures on the inner wall of the protective frame can guide compressed gas to a specific area to blow away debris, combining the protective function with the cleaning function, reducing the contamination of processing components and power components by debris, ensuring a clean working environment inside the machine tool, and reducing the risk of equipment failure caused by debris accumulation.

[0019] 4. By setting the processing table and the stepped slot II together, the present invention ensures the stability of the processing table installation and restricts its vertical displacement; the cleaning plate contacts the fixing ring and the support plate to ensure the chip removal effect; the elastic force of the spring in the limiting mechanism ensures that the limiting plate and the horizontal plate always maintain reliable contact, avoiding accidental shaking of the processing table.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0031] Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0032] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-5The present invention provides a technical solution: a machine tool device with debris cleaning function, including a base frame 1, two sets of support frames 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base frame 1, a power assembly 4 and a processing assembly 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 1, a support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 1, two sets of inclined plates 31 are fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 3, two sets of protective mechanisms 32 are fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 1, the two sets of protective mechanisms 32 and the two sets of inclined plates 31 are arranged opposite to each other, and a slot 36 is provided at the central axis of the support plate 3;

[0034] A fixing ring 33 is fixedly connected to the central axis at the top of the support plate 3. Two sets of slots 34 are opened on the surface of the support plate 3, and two sets of connecting holes 35 are opened on the surface of the support plate 3. The two sets of connecting holes 35 are respectively connected to the inside of the two sets of slots 34. A processing table 37 is set inside the fixing ring 33. After the power component 4 is started, the processing component 5 can be driven to move precisely along the set trajectory through the preset transmission path to process the workpiece.

[0035] The machining table 37 penetrates the slot 2 36, and the slot 2 36 is a stepped cylindrical structure divided into two sections. The diameter of the lower section of the machining table 37 is the same as the inner diameter of the slot 2 36, while the diameter of the upper section of the machining table 37 is larger than the inner diameter of the slot 2 36. During the machining process of the workpiece, metal chips generated by the machining component 5 will fall naturally and land on the top of the inclined plate 31. Since the inclined plate 31 itself has an inclination angle of 5°-15°, the operator can use a cleaning tool to push the chips along the slope of the inclined plate 31, so that the chips will slide naturally down the slope of the inclined plate 31 to the preset collection area under the combined action of gravity and thrust.

[0036] The protective mechanism 32 includes a protective frame 321, which is arc-shaped. Both ends of the protective frame 321 are in contact with the surfaces of two sets of inclined plates 31. The bottom of the protective mechanism 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 3. A connecting box 322 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective frame 321. A connecting pipe 323 is opened inside the connecting box 322. An air outlet 324 is opened at the bottom of the connecting box 322 and is connected to the connecting pipe 323. An air inlet pipe 325 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective mechanism 32 and is connected to the connecting pipe 323. During the machine tool processing, compressed gas can be introduced into the air inlet pipe 325. The gas enters the connecting pipe 323 inside the connecting box 322 along the pipeline channel of the air inlet pipe 325.

[0037] Some gas leaks out through the vent 324 at the bottom of the connecting box 322. The leaked gas flows down the inner wall of the arc-shaped protective frame 321, forming a directional airflow that can blow off the debris attached to the inside of the protective frame 321 and prevent the debris from accumulating on the surface of the protective frame 321.

[0038] Another part of the gas is blown out directly from the port of the connecting pipe 323 near the inclined plate 31. The blown airflow directly contacts the surface of the inclined plate 31. With the impact force of the airflow, the debris remaining on the top of the inclined plate 31 is blown away from the surface of the inclined plate 31. Combined with the slope of the inclined plate 31 itself, the debris slides down the slope to the collection area below.

[0039] Four sets of cleaning plates 38 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the processing table 37. The bottom of each of the four sets of cleaning plates 38 contacts the top of the support plate 3, and cleaning bristles are adhered to the bottom of each of the four sets of cleaning plates 38. The ends of the four sets of cleaning plates 38 away from the processing table 37 contact the surface of the fixing ring 33. During the cleaning process, when the processing table 37 is in a rotatable state, the processing table 37 can drive the cleaning plates 38 to rotate synchronously. As the cleaning plates 38 rotate, the cleaning bristles at their bottom sweep the internal area of ​​the fixing ring 33, pushing the debris accumulated inside the fixing ring 33 toward the connecting hole 35. These debris enter the slot 34 connected to it through the connecting hole 35, and finally slide down the slot 34 to the preset collection device, realizing the unified collection and treatment of debris.

[0040] Example 2, based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 6-9 This invention provides a technical solution: two sets of limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 3, and a limiting mechanism 39 is provided at the bottom of the processing table 37. The limiting mechanism 39 includes a horizontal plate 391, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the processing table 37. A connecting block 392 is rotatably connected to the side of the horizontal plate 391 via a rotating shaft. A ball bearing 393 is embedded in the top of the connecting block 392, and the outer surface of the ball bearing 393 contacts the bottom of the support plate 3. A fixing block 394 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 392, and a protruding rod 395 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing block 394. When processing is completed and the cleaning state is entered, the ball bearing 393 is in the upper position and contacts the bottom of the support plate 3. This contact method provides support for the rotation of the processing table 37. At this time, when the processing table 37 rotates, it can drive the horizontal plate 391 to rotate synchronously. The rolling contact between the ball bearing 393 and the bottom of the support plate 3 reduces the frictional resistance during rotation, ensuring the stability of the processing table 37 when driving the horizontal plate 391 to rotate.

[0041] The inner wall of the connecting block 392 has a slot 396, and a connecting plate 3972 is slidably connected inside the slot 396. Limiting plates 397 are provided at both ends of the connecting block 392. A connecting handle 3971 is fixedly connected to the ends of the two sets of limiting plates 397 that are far apart from each other. The two ends of the connecting plate 3972 are fixedly connected to the two sets of limiting plates 397 respectively. A locking plate 3974 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting block 392. A spring 3973 is fixedly connected to the central axis of the locking plate 3974 near the connecting block 392. The end of the spring 3973 away from the locking plate 3974 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 3972. Under the elastic compression of the spring 3973, the connecting plate 3972 will drive the limiting plate 397 to move inward and keep in contact with the horizontal plate 391, forming a normal limiting of the connecting block 392. When it is necessary to release the rotation restriction on the processing table 37, the operator pulls the connecting handle 3971 to move the limiting plate 397 outward until the limiting plate 397 is completely disengaged from the horizontal plate 391. At this time, the connecting block 392 can be rotated to flip the position of the fixing block 394. After the two fixing blocks 394 are flipped into their reversed positions, the connecting handle 3971 is released, and the limiting plate 397 will reset under the rebound force of the spring 3973, re-engaging with the horizontal plate 391 and forming a new limit. Finally, the connecting block 392 is restricted by the protruding rod 395 and cooperates with the limiting block to prevent the connecting block 392 from rotating accidentally, thereby restricting the rotation of the horizontal plate 391 and achieving the locking and fixing of the processing table 37.

[0042] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
