Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of CNC lathe technology, specifically relating to a horizontal lathe. Background Technology

[0002] Horizontal lathes are commonly used to machine the internal and external rotating surfaces, end faces, and various internal and external threads of workpieces. With appropriate cutting tools and accessories, they can also be used for drilling, reaming, tapping, and knurling. The conventional lathe is the most widely used type of lathe, accounting for approximately 65% ​​of all lathes. It is called a horizontal lathe because its spindle is placed horizontally.

[0003] Horizontal lathes generate metal shavings during machining. These shavings remain on the lathe bed and, if not cleaned regularly, will affect the working efficiency of the horizontal precision lathe. Currently, most existing horizontal lathes do not automatically clean up the metal shavings, so operators still need to clean them regularly, which increases the labor costs for operators.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the aforementioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a horizontal lathe.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a horizontal lathe that can solve the problem that existing horizontal lathes cannot automatically clean up metal shavings and waste.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by a specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A horizontal lathe includes: a lathe bed, a ramp, a tailstock, and a cleaning mechanism.

[0009] The lathe bed is equipped with a liquid collection tank, and a collection basket is provided on one side of the liquid collection tank. The ramp is provided on the inner side wall of the liquid collection tank near the collection basket. The tailstock slides on both side walls of the lathe bed.

[0010] The cleaning mechanism is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the lathe bed. The cleaning mechanism includes: a pair of main slides, a retrieval net, a pair of extension rods, a pair of control arms, and a pair of limiting components. The pair of main slides are respectively carved into the two inner walls of the lathe bed, and a main slide block slides within each of the main slides. A pair of secondary slides are carved into both sides of the retrieval net, and secondary slide blocks slide within each of the secondary slides. One end of each secondary slide block is fixed to a main slide block outside its secondary slide. The pair of extension rods are respectively fixed to the ends of the pair of main slide blocks near the tailstock, and a control rod is fixed to the outer end of each extension rod. The upper ends of the pair of control arms are fixed to the bottom of the tailstock, and their other ends slide on the control rods. A second spring is installed between each pair of control arms and extension rods, and the second spring is sleeved on each control rod. The pair of limiting components are respectively fixed to the pair of control rods and located on the side of the control arm away from the extension rod.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, slide rails are fixed to the top of both side walls of the lathe bed, and a pair of sliding sleeves are fixed to both sides of the tailstock. The pair of sliding sleeves slide on the pair of slide rails respectively. The tailstock slides on the pair of main slide blocks via the pair of sliding sleeves, thereby sliding on the side walls of the lathe bed.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, a pair of lead screws are rotatably mounted on the lathe bed, each above a pair of sliding sleeves. A threaded seat is fixed to the upper end of each pair of sliding sleeves, and the threaded seat is threadedly connected to the lead screw. Rotation of the lead screws moves the pair of threaded seats, which in turn move the tailstock via the pair of sliding sleeves.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, a drain port is formed on the bottom wall of the liquid collection tank, and a filter screen is installed inside the drain port. The drain port is used to discharge the coolant in the liquid collection tank, and the filter screen is used to filter out metal shavings and waste materials in the liquid collection tank.

[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, a groove is chiseled at the bottom of each pair of auxiliary sliders, and a first spring is installed between the top wall of each pair of grooves and the bottom wall of the auxiliary slide groove. The elastic force of the first spring after being compressed is used to push the bottom wall of the auxiliary slide groove downward, so that the fishing net slides downward on the pair of auxiliary sliders. The groove is used so that when the auxiliary slider moves to the bottom wall of the auxiliary slide groove, the first spring is compressed into the groove.

[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, a sliding rod is fixed in each of the pair of secondary sliding grooves, the secondary slider slides on the sliding rod, and the first spring is sleeved on the sliding rod. By sleeved on the sliding rod, the first spring is prevented from shifting position when compressed, thus preventing the first spring from disengaging from the secondary sliding groove.

[0016] In one embodiment of this invention, an embedded groove adapted to the retrieval net is carved into the side wall of the liquid collection tank at the end away from the collection basket, and the embedded groove is used for embedding the retrieval net therein. Multiple support rods are fixed to the collection basket inside the lathe bed, and the top surface of the support rods is flush with the top surface of the slope. After the retrieval net moves up the slope, the bottom of the retrieval net slides on the support rods, which support the retrieval net.

[0017] In one embodiment of this invention, a plurality of pulleys are installed at the bottom of the salvage net, with the vertical and horizontal positions of the pulleys corresponding to the positions of a plurality of support rods. The outer walls of the pulleys slightly extend beyond the bottom wall of the salvage net, and the pulleys are used to reduce the friction of the bottom wall of the salvage net sliding on the slope. When the salvage net moves to the top of the support rods, the pulleys slide on the support rods.

[0018] In one embodiment of this utility model, the limiting component includes: a movable sleeve, a locking ring, and multiple through slots. The movable sleeve slides on the control rod. The locking ring is threaded onto the movable sleeve. Multiple through slots are equally spaced and carved into the movable sleeve, with clamps fixed to one end of each slot's sidewall. When the position of the limiting component needs to be adjusted, first rotate the locking ring to move it towards the tailstock and remove it from the clamps. At this time, the clamps release the control rod. Then, the movable sleeve can slide on the control rod to the designated position. Next, rotate the locking ring to engage with the clamps. Once the locking ring is on the clamps, it clamps them towards the control rod, thereby fixing the movable sleeve to the control rod.

[0019] In one embodiment of this utility model, the outer diameter of the gripper is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the locking ring, and an inclined surface is provided at the end of the gripper near the locking ring. Because the outer diameter of the gripper is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the locking ring, when the locking ring moves onto the gripper, the locking ring clamps the gripper towards the control lever. Furthermore, by providing the inclined surface, when the locking ring moves towards the gripper, the locking ring gradually pushes the gripper towards the control lever to clamp it.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the horizontal lathe of this utility model, through related structural design, can automatically clean up metal shavings and waste during the processing, which not only reduces the labor cost of operators, but also ensures the cleanliness of the operating area.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a horizontal lathe in one embodiment of the present invention includes: a lathe bed 1, a ramp 108, a tailstock 101, and a cleaning mechanism 2.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a liquid collection tank 106 is provided inside the lathe bed 1, and a collection basket 109 is provided on one side of the liquid collection tank 106. A ramp 108 is provided on the inner side wall of the liquid collection tank 106 near the collection basket 109. The tailstock 101 slides on both side walls of the lathe bed 1. During machining, the cut metal chips and the coolant used in cutting both fall into the liquid collection tank 106.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 2 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the lathe bed 1. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes: a pair of main slide grooves 201, a retrieval net 204, a pair of extension rods 209, a pair of control arms 211, and a pair of limiting components 213. The pair of main slide grooves 201 are respectively carved into the two inner walls of the lathe bed 1, and a main slide block 202 slides within each of the main slide grooves 201. A pair of auxiliary slide grooves 205 are carved into both sides of the retrieval net 204, and an auxiliary slide block 203 slides within each of the auxiliary slide grooves 205. One end of the auxiliary slide block 203 outside the auxiliary slide groove 205 is fixed to the main slide block 202. The pair of extension rods 209 are respectively fixed to one end of the pair of main slide blocks 202 near the tailstock 101, and a control rod 210 is fixed to the outer end of each extension rod 209. The upper ends of the pair of control arms 211 are fixed to the bottom of the tailstock 101, and their other ends slide on the control rods 210. A second spring 212 is installed between each pair of control arms 211 and the extension rod 209, and the second spring 212 is sleeved on the control rod 210. A pair of limiting components 213 are respectively fixed on the pair of control rods 210 and are located on the side of the control arm 211 away from the extension rod 209.

[0034] When cleaning up metal scrap, the tailstock 101 is moved towards the collection basket 109. As the tailstock 101 moves, a pair of control arms 211 drive a pair of control rods 210 to move towards the collection basket 109. The control rods 210, through a pair of extension rods 209, drive a pair of main sliders 202. The main sliders 202, through a pair of auxiliary sliders 203, drive a retrieval net 204. During the movement of the retrieval net 204, it pushes the metal scrap in the accumulation tank 106 towards the collection basket 109. When the retrieval net 204 moves to the ramp 108, the main sliders 202 continue to move the retrieval net 204 while simultaneously moving it upwards via the ramp 108. At this time, the auxiliary sliders 203 slide downwards in a pair of auxiliary chute 205. When the bottom of the retrieval net 204 slides to the top of the ramp 108, it pushes the metal scrap into the collection basket 109. The salvage net 204 is then pushed back. As the salvage net 204 moves at the slope 108, it will slide downwards due to gravity.

[0035] Furthermore, the second spring 212 is always compressed on the control rod 210. During machining, when changing workpieces, the tailstock 101 needs to move back and forth to clamp the workpiece. When the tailstock 101 moves back and forth, the control arm 211 slides back and forth on the control rod 210. When the control arm 211 moves towards the extension rod 209, it compresses the second spring 212, causing the retrieval net 204 to be close to the side wall of the liquid collection tank 106, preventing metal chips from falling between the retrieval net 204 and the side wall of the liquid collection tank 106. In addition, when the control arm 211 moves back towards the limiting assembly 213, the elastic force of the second spring 212 also keeps the retrieval net 204 stationary.

[0036] Specifically, when machining workpieces of different lengths, the distance between the tailstock 101 and the clamping seat on the lathe bed 1 is different. Therefore, when machining workpieces of different lengths, in order to ensure that the retrieval net 204 always adheres to the side wall of the liquid accumulation tank 106, the position of the limiting component 213 on the control rod 210 can be changed. During cleaning, the control arm 211 moves the control rod 210 through the limiting component 213.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, slide rails 102 are fixed to the top of both side walls of the lathe bed 1, and a pair of sliding sleeves 103 are fixed to both sides of the tailstock 101. The pair of sliding sleeves 103 slide on the pair of slide rails 102 respectively. The tailstock 101 slides on the pair of main slides 202 via the pair of sliding sleeves 103, thereby sliding on the side walls of the lathe bed 1. A pair of lead screws 104 are rotatably mounted on the lathe bed 1, each above a pair of sliding sleeves 103. Threaded seats 105 are fixed to the upper ends of the pair of sliding sleeves 103, and the threaded seats 105 are threadedly connected to the lead screws 104. The rotation of the pair of lead screws 104 drives the pair of threaded seats 105 to move, and the pair of threaded seats 105 drive the tailstock 101 to move via the pair of sliding sleeves 103.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a drain port 107 is carved into the bottom wall of the liquid collection tank 106, and a filter screen is installed inside the drain port 107. The drain port 107 is used to discharge the coolant in the liquid collection tank 106, and the filter screen is used to filter out metal scraps in the liquid collection tank 106. A pair of auxiliary sliders 203 each have a groove 207 carved into their bottom. A first spring 208 is installed between the top wall of the pair of grooves 207 and the bottom wall of the auxiliary slide 205. The elastic force of the first spring 208 after being compressed is used to push the bottom wall of the auxiliary slide 205 downward, so that the fishing net 204 slides downward on the pair of auxiliary sliders 203. When the auxiliary sliders 203 move to the bottom wall of the auxiliary slide 205, the first spring 208 is compressed into the groove 207.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a pair of auxiliary slide grooves 205 each have a slide rod 206 fixed inside. The auxiliary slider 203 slides on the slide rod 206, and the first spring 208 is sleeved on the slide rod 206. By sleeved on the slide rod 206, the first spring 208 is prevented from shifting position when compressed, thus preventing it from detaching from the auxiliary slide groove 205. An embedded groove 221 adapted to the retrieval net 204 is carved on the side wall of the liquid collection tank 106 away from the collection basket 109. The embedded groove 221 is used for embedding the retrieval net 204. Multiple support rods 220 are fixed inside the lathe bed 1 and fixed to the collection basket 109, and the top surface of the support rods 220 is flush with the top surface of the ramp 108. After the retrieval net 204 moves up along the ramp 108, the bottom of the retrieval net 204 slides on the support rods 220, which support the retrieval net 204.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, multiple pulleys 219 are installed at the bottom of the salvage net 204, with their vertical and horizontal positions corresponding to the positions of multiple support rods 220. The outer walls of the pulleys 219 extend slightly beyond the bottom wall of the salvage net 204, and the pulleys 219 are used to reduce the friction of the bottom wall of the salvage net 204 sliding on the slope 108. When the salvage net 204 moves to the top of the support rods 220, the pulleys 219 slide on the support rods 220.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the limiting component 213 includes: a movable sleeve 214, a locking ring 215, and multiple through slots 216. The movable sleeve 214 slides on the control rod 210. The locking ring 215 is threaded onto the movable sleeve 214. Multiple through slots 216 are equally spaced and carved into the movable sleeve 214, and each through slot 216 has a clamping claw 217 fixed on one side wall of its inner end. When the position of the limit component 213 needs to be adjusted, first rotate the locking ring 215 to move the locking ring 215 toward the tailstock 101 and remove the locking ring 215 from the gripper 217. At this time, the multiple grippers 217 release the control lever 210. Then, the moving sleeve 214 can be slid on the control lever 210. After the moving sleeve 214 is slid to the designated position, rotate the locking ring 215 to turn the locking ring 215 onto the multiple grippers 217. After the locking ring 215 moves onto the grippers 217, it clamps the grippers 217 toward the control lever 210, thereby fixing the moving sleeve 214 onto the control lever 210.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the outer diameter of the gripper 217 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the locking ring 215, and an inclined surface 218 is provided at the end of the gripper 217 near the locking ring 215. Because the outer diameter of the gripper 217 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the locking ring 215, when the locking ring 215 moves onto the gripper 217, the locking ring 215 clamps the gripper 217 towards the control lever 210. Furthermore, by providing the inclined surface 218, when the locking ring 215 moves towards the gripper 217, the locking ring 215 gradually pushes the gripper 217 towards the control lever 210 through the inclined surface 218.

[0043] Working principle: When cleaning metal scrap, the rotation of a pair of lead screws 104 drives a pair of threaded seats 105 to move. The pair of threaded seats 105 drives the tailstock 101 to move towards the collection basket 109 through a pair of sliding sleeves 103. When the tailstock 101 moves, it drives a pair of control rods 210 to move towards the collection basket 109 through a pair of control arms 211. The pair of control rods 210 drives a pair of main sliders 202 to move through a pair of extension rods 209. The pair of main sliders 202 drives the retrieval net 204 to move through a pair of auxiliary sliders 203. During the movement of the retrieval net 204, it pushes the metal scrap in the liquid accumulation tank 106 towards the collection basket 109.

[0044] As the salvage net 204 moves to the ramp 108, a pair of main sliders 202 continue to move the salvage net 204 while simultaneously causing it to move upwards via the ramp 108. At this time, a pair of auxiliary sliders 203 slide downwards in a pair of auxiliary chute 205s. When the bottom of the salvage net 204 slides to the top of the ramp 108, it pushes the metal scrap into the collection basket 109. Then, the salvage net 204 is pushed back. As the salvage net 204 moves along the ramp 108, it slides downwards due to its own gravity and is also pushed downwards by the first spring 208, causing the bottom wall of the auxiliary chute 205 to slide downwards on the auxiliary sliders 203s.

[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this disclosure is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that this disclosure can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics.
