Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tools, and in particular to a machine tool protection device with an automatic chip cleaning function. Background Technology
[0002] A machine tool is a machine used to manufacture machinery. It is also known as a machine tool or machine tool. Its main function is to change the shape, size and surface quality of a workpiece through specific processing methods (such as turning, milling, drilling, grinding, etc.) to meet design requirements.
[0003] A machine tool protection device with automatic chip removal function is a device specifically designed to protect machine tools and keep their working environment clean.
[0004] Existing machine tool protective devices with automatic chip removal functions have the following shortcomings:
[0005] During machine tool operation, most require protective devices to prevent chips from flying outside the machine. While these devices provide basic isolation, they have significant drawbacks. In existing technologies, chips easily accumulate on and inside the protective devices, often requiring manual cleaning. Operators must frequently use brushes or shovels to remove the attached chips one by one, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also carries the risk of cuts from contact with sharp chips. Utility Model Content

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, a set of bidirectional lead screws 122 are movably inserted into the inner wall of the housing 108. A set of first servo motors 105 are fixedly installed on the front of the housing 108. The output end of the first servo motor 105 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 122.

Through the bidirectional lead screw 122, the first slider 123 and the first servo motor 105, a set of round tubes 120 can be driven to move back and forth, so that the nozzle 121 can reciprocate to blow away the chips on the anti-slip pad 111.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, a screw 113 is movably inserted into the top of the inner wall of the housing 108, and a second slider 116 is slidably connected to the top of the inner wall of the housing 108.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, an electric push rod 117 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second slider 116, and a cutter 118 is fixedly installed at the shaft end of the electric push rod 117. The electric push rod 117 can drive the cutter 118 to move up and down.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, a PLC controller 104 is fixedly installed on the front of one of the transparent baffles 102. The PLC controller 104 is electrically connected to the components to control the opening and closing of the components. In addition, the user can set a timer program through the control panel on it to perform cleaning operations at regular intervals.
[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the auxiliary mechanism 2 includes a support leg 201. A fixing plate 202 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support leg 201. A set of sliding grooves 205 are provided on the inner wall of the fixing plate 202. A set of collection boxes 203 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding grooves 205. Through the sliding grooves 205 and the fixing plate 202, the collection box 203 is detachable so that the user can process the chips in the collection box 203.
[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, a connecting block 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 202, and a rotating shaft 207 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting block 204. A movable plate 206 is fixedly connected to the front of the rotating shaft 207. The connecting block 204, rotating shaft 207 and movable plate 206 can restrict the collection box 203.
[0039] The operating method and working principle of this device are as follows: First, a small air compressor 109 is installed on a rubber pad 115 on the top of the housing 108. The rubber pad 115 reduces the vibration of the compressor during operation. The compressed air generated by the compressor is distributed to each nozzle 121 through a conveying pipe 114, a connecting hose 119, and a round pipe 120. The high-speed ejection forms a directional airflow, which impacts the chips on the anti-slip pad 111, causing them to loosen and fall off. The blown chips move towards the edge of the inclined block 110 under the action of the airflow and fall into the conveying plate 107 at the bottom through the opening 112. The inclined design of the conveying plate 107 guides the chips to slide down to the collection box 203. At the same time, the PLC controller 104 synchronously starts the first servo motor 105, driving the bidirectional lead screw 122 to rotate. Due to the threaded structure of the bidirectional lead screw 122, the first slider 123 that cooperates with it moves along the housing 108. The inner wall of the nozzle 120 moves in a reciprocating linear motion, causing the round tube 120 and the nozzle 121 to move synchronously. This allows the blowing range of the nozzle 121 to cover the entire anti-slip mat 111 area, avoiding dead corners where chips accumulate due to blowing from a single location. The connecting hose 119 changes its state under force to avoid interference. After the cleaning operation is completed, the user can rotate the movable plate 206 through the pivot 207 to release the limit on the collection box 203 and pull it out of the slide 205 to clean the chips. The operation is convenient. In addition, the user can set a timed cleaning program (such as starting the blowing every 30 minutes) through the control panel of the PLC controller 104, or automatically trigger the blowing action during processing breaks (such as when changing tools or loading and unloading workpieces) to avoid airflow interfering with normal processing. The PLC controller 104 can also adjust the power of the small air compressor 109 to adjust the airflow pressure.
[0040] The PLC controller 104, the first servo motor 105, the second servo motor 103, the small air compressor 109, and the electric actuator 117 used in this application are all common equipment on the market and are well known to those skilled in the art. In this application, the above equipment is used in a conventional manner without any improvement to its structure and function. Regarding their settings, installation, and electrical connection methods, those skilled in the art can debug and operate them according to the corresponding product instruction manuals, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
