Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CNC machine tool technology, and more specifically, to a guide rail cleaning mechanism for machine tools. Background Technology

[0002] The guide rail cleaning mechanism is a device used to clean various impurities on the surface of the guide rail and maintain its good operating condition. Its core lies in the multi-stage composite structure of scraping, brush cleaning, vacuum adsorption or wiping to achieve efficient cleaning and protection of the guide rail. It is widely used in machine tools, elevators, cranes and other equipment, and is an indispensable auxiliary system for modern precision manufacturing equipment.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication: A CNC Machine Tool Guide Rail Cleaning Device, Application No.: CN202322607376.6, includes: a worktable, two machine tool guide rails on the top of the worktable, a machine tool base on the machine tool guide rails, and a cleaning device housing connected to both sides of the machine tool base. The cleaning device housing includes side plates, a front plate, a rear plate, and a top plate. The inner side of the rear plate is provided with a vertical scraper and a horizontal scraper, and the outer side of the front plate is provided with a buffer pad. The two side plates are provided with grooved cleaning mechanisms. The top of the top plate is connected to a negative pressure adsorption device, and the top of the negative pressure adsorption device is provided with a pipe joint. A fixing rod is installed at the bottom of the top plate, and a fixing panel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing rod. Cleaning cotton is tightly connected to the bottom of the fixing panel. The beneficial effects of this utility model are: ensuring that when CNC machine tools process parts, the debris falling onto the machine tool guide rails is cleaned in time, avoiding wear on the machine tool guide rails, increasing the service life of the machine tool guide rails, and improving processing accuracy.

[0004] However, the guide rail cleaning mechanisms commonly found in the market today, such as fixed-installation scrapers, brushes, or small vacuum cleaners, are usually designed with a fixed size structure to match the guide rails of specific machine tool models. Although this structure can play a certain cleaning role for guide rails of a given width, its applicability is significantly limited. When facing machine tools of different models or specifications, the width of their guide rails often varies, and existing fixed-size cleaning mechanisms cannot be effectively adapted, resulting in a narrow range of applications. This leads to users needing to customize or replace special cleaning parts for guide rails of different widths, which not only increases equipment procurement and maintenance costs but also brings inconvenience to users' use and management. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a machine tool guideway cleaning mechanism that effectively solves the problems of common guideway cleaning mechanisms on the market today, such as fixed-installation scrapers, brushes, or small vacuum cleaners. These mechanisms are typically designed with fixed dimensions to match the guideways of specific machine tool models. While such structures can provide some cleaning for guideways of a given width, their applicability is significantly limited. When dealing with different models or specifications of machine tools, the width of the guideways often varies, and existing fixed-size cleaning mechanisms cannot be effectively adapted, resulting in a narrow range of applications. This forces users to customize or replace specialized cleaning components for guideways of different widths, which not only increases equipment procurement and maintenance costs but also causes inconvenience for users in terms of use and management.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a machine tool guide rail cleaning mechanism, including a machine tool guide rail, with protective shells provided on both sides of the machine tool guide rail, a sliding groove provided on the protective shell, a sliding plate slidably disposed in the sliding groove, a threaded post threaded on one side of the sliding plate, a knob fixedly disposed at one end of the threaded post, a groove provided on the sliding plate, a cleaning component movably disposed in the groove, and a connecting plate provided on one side directly above the machine tool guide rail.

[0007] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixedly installed on one side directly below the connecting plate, a fixing panel is fixedly installed on one side directly below the fixing rod, and a cleaning cotton is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing panel near the machine tool guide rail.

[0008] Preferably, the threaded post is rotatably connected to the protective housing on the side near the knob, and the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the sliding plate.

[0009] Preferably, the cleaning component has a rotating column rotatably mounted on the protective housing, and a cleaning brush and a motor are respectively mounted on both ends of the rotating column.

[0010] Preferably, the rotating column moves through the groove.

[0011] Preferably, the motor is fixedly mounted on the protective housing.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) In this utility model, the connecting plate is first fixedly connected to the machine tool base. Then, the threaded column is rotated by the knob, so that the protective shell 2 moves closer to or further away from the connecting plate. The protective shell drives the cleaning component to move, so that the cleaning brush also moves. The position of the cleaning brush is adjusted according to the width of the machine tool guide rail. Then, the motor drives the cleaning brush to rotate through the rotating column, so that the cleaning brush can clean both sides of the machine tool guide rail. When the machine tool base moves on the machine tool guide rail, the machine tool base drives the connecting plate to move, so that the cleaning brush and cleaning cotton can be used to clean the machine tool guide rail. It can adapt to machine tool guide rails of different widths and expand the scope of application. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a machine tool guide rail cleaning mechanism includes a machine tool guide rail 1. Protective housings 2 are provided on both sides of the machine tool guide rail 1. A sliding groove 3 is provided on the protective housing 2. A sliding plate 4 is slidably disposed within the sliding groove 3. A threaded post 5 is threaded onto one side of the sliding plate 4. A knob 6 is fixedly disposed at one end of the threaded post 5. A groove 11 is provided on the sliding plate 4. A cleaning component 7 is movably disposed within the groove 11. A connecting plate 8 is provided on one side directly above the machine tool guide rail 1.

[0020] A fixing rod 9 is fixedly installed on one side directly below the connecting plate 8, and a fixing panel 10 is fixedly installed on one side directly below the fixing rod 9. A cleaning cotton 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing panel 10 near the machine tool guide rail 1.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning component 7 is rotatably provided with a rotating column 701 on the protective shell 2, and a cleaning brush 702 and a motor 703 are respectively provided at both ends of the rotating column 701.

[0022] When it is necessary to clean both sides of the machine tool guide rail 1, the motor 703 causes the cleaning brush 702 to rotate through the rotating column 701, thereby using the cleaning brush 702 to clean both sides of the machine tool guide rail 1.

[0023] The working principle of a machine tool guideway cleaning mechanism:

[0024] In use, first, the connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the machine tool base. Then, the threaded column 5 is rotated by the knob 6, causing the protective shell 2 to move closer to or further away from the connecting plate 8. The protective shell 2 drives the cleaning component 7 to move, causing the cleaning brush 702 to move as well. This allows the position of the cleaning brush 702 to be adjusted according to the width of the machine tool guide rail 1. Subsequently, the motor 703 rotates the cleaning brush 702 through the rotating column 701, thereby using the cleaning brush 702 to clean both sides of the machine tool guide rail 1. When the machine tool base moves on the machine tool guide rail 1, the machine tool base drives the connecting plate 8 to move, thereby using the cleaning brush 702 and cleaning cotton 12 to clean the machine tool guide rail 1. This method can adapt to machine tool guide rails 1 of different widths, expanding its application range.

[0025] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. All obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
