Detailed Implementation

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an easy-to-clean machining lathe according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a main body mechanism 1 and a solid-liquid separation mechanism 2. The main body mechanism 1 includes an operating table 11, a waste discharge port 12, and a filter unit. The waste discharge port 12 is opened on the operating table 11 in a vertically penetrating manner. The filter unit is installed in the waste discharge port 12 for filtering large chips. The solid-liquid separation mechanism 2 includes a liquid collection tank 21, a solid-liquid separation unit, and a sediment cleaning unit. The liquid collection tank 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the operating table 11 and is installed below the waste discharge port 12. The solid-liquid separation unit is installed in the upper part of the liquid collection tank 21 for separating chips and coolant. The sediment cleaning unit is installed at the bottom of the liquid collection tank 21 for cleaning the deposited chips.

[0029] When this easy-to-clean machining lathe is in use, the chips and coolant generated during machining of the workpiece mix together and enter the waste outlet 12. The larger chips are intercepted by the filtration unit, while the smaller chips and coolant flow together into the collection tank 21. The chips and coolant are separated by the solid-liquid separation unit, and the coolant is collected at the bottom of the collection tank 21. The chips are intercepted by the solid-liquid separation unit. At the same time, because the coolant carries extremely small chip particles to the bottom of the collection tank 21, a certain amount of chip particles will be deposited at the bottom of the collection tank 21. The deposited chip particles are cleaned periodically by the deposit cleaning unit.

[0030] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the filter unit includes a grid plate 13, a limiting groove 14, and a limiting block 15. The grid plate 13 is a mesh plate with a large aperture, so that when chips and coolant enter the waste discharge port 12, the larger chips are intercepted by the large aperture grid plate 13.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a pair of limiting grooves 14 are provided on the left and right side walls of the waste discharge port 12, and a pair of limiting blocks 15 are provided and fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the grating plate 13 respectively. The pair of limiting blocks 15 are respectively fitted into the pair of limiting grooves 14. Through the cooperation of the limiting grooves 14 and the limiting blocks 15, the grating plate 13 is stably installed in the waste discharge port 12 while being easy to disassemble and assemble, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the grating plate 13.

[0032] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the main body mechanism 1 also includes a flow guide shroud 16, which is mounted on the operating table 11 and positioned above the waste discharge port 12. The flow guide shroud 16 is attached to the waste discharge port 12 using a snap-fit ​​or bolt-fixed method for easy assembly and disassembly. Because the flow guide shroud 16 has a tapered structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, it facilitates the guidance of chips and coolant into the waste discharge port 12, and also provides shielding protection for the lathe components. The installation of the flow guide shroud 16 should be determined based on the specific machining space, ensuring that the installation does not interfere with the machining of the workpiece.

[0033] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the solid-liquid separation unit includes a first solid-liquid separation box 22 and a second solid-liquid separation box 23. The first solid-liquid separation box 22 and the second solid-liquid separation box 23 are installed in the liquid collection tank 21 from top to bottom. The first solid-liquid separation box 22 and the second solid-liquid separation box 23 are used to separate the chips and the coolant respectively.

[0034] like Figures 3-5 As shown, a pair of mounting slots 24 are provided from top to bottom near the upper end of the liquid collection tank 21. The first solid-liquid separation box 22 and the second solid-liquid separation box 23 are slidably connected in the mounting slots 24 in sequence, which makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the first solid-liquid separation box 22 and the second solid-liquid separation box 23, so as to clean up the chips intercepted by the first solid-liquid separation box 22 and the second solid-liquid separation box 23.

[0035] like Figures 3-5 As shown, both the bottom walls of the first solid-liquid separation box 22 and the second solid-liquid separation box 23 are equipped with screens, and the aperture of the screen on the first solid-liquid separation box 22 is larger than that of the screen on the second solid-liquid separation box 23. This allows the first solid-liquid separation box 22 and the second solid-liquid separation box 23 to intercept chips of different particle sizes, thereby improving the solid-liquid separation effect.

[0036] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the solid-liquid separation mechanism 2 also includes a drainage assembly, which includes a delivery pipe 25 fixedly connected to the side wall of the collection tank 21 in a through manner and a Y-type filter 26 installed on the delivery pipe 25. The delivery pipe 25 is spaced from the bottom of the collection tank 21. The coolant collected in the collection tank 21 can be discharged and recycled through the delivery pipe 25, and a switch valve is installed on the delivery pipe 25 to control its opening and closing. The Y-type filter 26 is used to further filter the discharged coolant. To prevent the delivery pipe 25 from discharging deposited chips, the delivery pipe 25 is installed above the bottom of the collection tank 21.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the sediment cleaning unit includes a pusher plate 27 and a pusher rod 28. The pusher plate 27 is installed inside the collection tank 21, with its bottom end abutting the inner surface of the bottom wall panel of the collection tank 21. The pusher rod 28 is slidably connected to the side wall of the collection tank 21 through the tank, with one end inside the collection tank 21 fixedly connected to the side wall of the pusher plate 27. The sliding of the pusher rod 28 pushes the pusher plate 27 to slide within the collection tank 21, thereby cleaning the shavings deposited at the bottom of the collection tank 21 and achieving periodic cleaning of the collection tank 21. Simultaneously, to prevent water leakage at the interface between the pusher rod 28 and the collection tank 21, a sealing sleeve is provided at the connection between the collection tank 21 and the pusher rod 28, achieving a seal without affecting the sliding of the pusher rod 28.

[0038] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the sediment cleaning unit also includes a sludge discharge port 29, a cover plate 210, fixing screws 211, and an observation window 212. The sludge discharge port 29 is located at the bottom of the side wall of the collection tank 21 away from the push rod 28. The cover plate 210 is installed in a sealed manner on the outside of the sludge discharge port 29. The fixing screws 211 are threadedly connected to the cover plate 210 and the collection tank 21. The observation window 212 is located on the front wall of the collection tank 21. By removing the fixing screws 211, the cover plate 210 can be removed from the sludge discharge port 29, thereby pushing the cleaned sediment through the sludge discharge port 29 via the push plate 27. The observation window 212 facilitates the observation of the liquid level in the collection tank 21 and the chips deposited at the bottom.

[0039] During use, when the lathe processes the workpiece, the generated chips and coolant mix together and enter the waste outlet 12. Larger chips are intercepted by the grid plate 13, while smaller chips and coolant flow together into the collection tank 21. The mixture in the collection tank 21 undergoes secondary filtration through the first solid-liquid separation box 22 and the second solid-liquid separation box 23 to separate the chips and coolant. The coolant is collected at the bottom of the collection tank 21, while the chips are intercepted by the first solid-liquid separation box 22 and the second solid-liquid separation box 23. At the same time, because the coolant carries extremely small chip particles to the bottom of the collection tank 21, a certain amount of chip particles will accumulate at the bottom of the collection tank 21. The accumulation is cleaned by pushing the push rod 28 to move the push plate 27 within the collection tank 21, so that the accumulated chip particles can be cleaned periodically.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. 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.

[0041] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
