Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of processing equipment technology, and in particular to a processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of machining, a large amount of debris (such as metal chips and plastic fragments) is generated during workpiece processing. These debris often mix with cutting fluid, lubricating oil, and other substances. Due to their small size, light weight, and tendency to stick together, they easily accumulate on the worktable surface, in the gaps around the machining area, and at the bottom of the equipment. If the debris is not handled in time, it can cause workpiece positioning deviation after embedding in the contact surface between the workpiece and the worktable. It can also enter the gap between the tool and the workpiece, accelerating tool wear and scratching the workpiece surface. At the same time, the cutting fluid mixed with debris is prone to deterioration, reducing its cooling and lubrication effect and increasing the probability of equipment failure.

[0003] Existing machining chip handling technologies generally suffer from low efficiency, poor reliability, and excessive manual intervention: manual cleaning requires stopping equipment operation, each cleaning session is time-consuming, and the cumulative downtime accounts for a high percentage of total downtime, affecting production efficiency and posing safety hazards due to operators' close contact with the machining area. Passive gravity chip removal technology relies solely on gravity or slight equipment vibration to guide chip sliding, and is prone to clogging when faced with pasty chips mixed with cutting fluid, resulting in slow and incomplete chip removal.

[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a processing device, which includes a machine tool 10 and a conveying assembly. Specifically, the machine tool 10 is provided with a sliding groove 11 and a discharge groove 12, the sliding groove 11 and the discharge groove 12 are connected, and the discharge groove 12 is provided with a discharge port 121. The conveying assembly includes a rotating component, which is rotatably mounted on the discharge groove 12 and is used to push the material during rotation, while the discharge port 121 is used to guide the material out.

[0033] During operation, the debris generated during machining (such as metal chips and plastic scraps) will naturally fall into the slip chute 11 as the machining action progresses. Since the slip chute 11 is connected to the discharge chute 12, the debris will smoothly slide from the slip chute 11 into the discharge chute 12 under its own gravity, completing the initial debris collection. At this time, the conveying assembly starts working, and the drive unit drives the rotating component installed in the discharge chute 12 to rotate. Specifically, the rotating component can be a lead screw, a rotating shaft with a paddle, etc. During rotation, the rotating component contacts the debris through the thread clearance or paddle structure, continuously pushing the debris along the inside of the discharge chute 12 towards the discharge port 121. Finally, under the active push of the rotating component, the debris is discharged from the discharge port 121 at the end of the discharge chute 12 and falls into a preset collection device (such as a hopper or conveyor belt), completing the entire debris handling process. During this process, machining and chip removal can be carried out simultaneously without stopping the equipment.

[0034] Therefore, this application achieves efficient collection and conveying of debris, solving the problem of low efficiency in traditional manual cleaning. The slip chute 11 can quickly collect debris scattered during processing, preventing debris from accumulating on the workbench surface or in equipment gaps; the connection between the discharge chute 12 and the slip chute 11 ensures that debris is directionally transferred to the discharge channel, and the active pushing of the rotating component replaces the chip removal method that relies solely on gravity. Even when faced with paste-like chips mixed with cutting fluid or heavy metal chips, it can force them to move, greatly improving the chip removal speed, reducing the residence time of chips in the chute, and ensuring the continuity of the processing flow.

[0035] Meanwhile, the entire chip removal process does not require manual interruption of equipment cleaning, reducing close contact between operators and the processing area and avoiding safety hazards such as mechanical injury and chip inhalation; and the discharge port 121 can be flexibly connected to the collection device according to the workshop layout, eliminating the need for manual chip handling, reducing labor costs, and adapting to the operating rhythm of automated processing equipment such as CNC machine tool 10, helping to achieve an automated production mode.

[0036] As an optional implementation, the slide trough 11 extends along a first direction, and the discharge trough 12 is disposed at the end of the slide trough 11. At the same time, the discharge trough 12 extends along a second direction, and the discharge port 121 is disposed at the end of the discharge trough 12.

[0037] In this way, the debris can slide naturally down the sliding trough 11 extending in the first direction until it reaches the end of the sliding trough 11 and enters the discharge trough 12 extending in the second direction. Then the conveying assembly is started, and the drive unit drives the rotating part in the discharge trough 12 to rotate, pushing the debris along the second direction towards the discharge port 121 at the end of the discharge trough 12. Finally, the debris is discharged from the discharge port 121 to the collection device. The entire process of processing and chip removal is carried out simultaneously.

[0038] The first and second directions can be set perpendicular to each other or at an angle. The branching extensions of the slide chute 11 and the discharge chute 12 can flexibly adapt to the workshop space layout, thereby avoiding equipment obstacles, connecting collection devices in different directions, solving the limitations of the traditional fixed discharge path, and eliminating the need for additional adjustments to the overall position of the equipment.

[0039] As an optional implementation method, see [link / reference]. Figure 4 The bottom of the sliding groove 11 is provided with a first guide surface 111, and the first guide surface 111 gradually slopes from top to bottom from the end away from the discharge groove 12 to the end close to the discharge groove 12.

[0040] In this process, the debris in the slip chute 11, under the combined effect of its own gravity and the inclination angle of the first guide surface 111, can automatically slide along the first guide surface 111 towards the discharge chute 12 without additional external force, smoothly reaching the connection point between the slip chute 11 and the discharge chute 12 and entering the discharge chute 12. Subsequently, the conveying component is activated, and the rotating component pushes the debris along the discharge chute 12 towards the discharge port 121, finally completing the chip removal process, which is synchronized with the entire processing.

[0041] Therefore, the first guiding surface 111 can guide the directional movement of debris. Compared with the flat-bottomed drop trough 11, it can effectively avoid the problem of "stagnant accumulation" of debris caused by surface adhesion (such as residual cutting fluid), light weight, or irregular shape, ensuring that the debris is transferred quickly and smoothly to the discharge trough 12, reducing the frequency of cleaning in the drop trough 11. At the same time, this guiding surface does not rely on an additional drive device, but achieves natural debris flow through physical structure optimization, which can reduce equipment energy consumption and maintenance costs.

[0042] As an optional implementation, the inner diameter of the discharge trough 12 gradually increases from the end away from the discharge port 121 to the end closer to the discharge port 121.

[0043] Therefore, the smaller inner diameter at the beginning of the discharge trough 12 can work with the rotating parts to form a stable pushing force and prevent the debris from scattering; while the gradually increasing inner diameter towards the discharge port 121 can accommodate more debris or provide sufficient space for larger debris, preventing debris from accumulating and getting stuck due to narrow channels, and ensuring that the chip discharge channel is unobstructed throughout.

[0044] As an optional implementation, the bottom of the discharge trough 12 is provided with a second guide surface 122, and the second guide surface 122 gradually slopes from top to bottom from the end away from the discharge port 121 to the end close to the discharge port 121.

[0045] During operation, the processing debris enters the discharge trough 12 via the sliding groove 11 and falls onto the second guide surface 122 at the bottom of the discharge trough 12. After the conveying assembly is started, the rotating component rotates and pushes the debris towards the discharge port 121. At the same time, the second guide surface 122 provides a downward gravitational force to the debris by means of its inclined angle, assisting the debris to slide directionally along the second guide surface 122. With the combined effect of the two, the debris can move more smoothly towards the discharge port 121 without relying solely on the thrust of the rotating component, and is finally discharged from the discharge port 121 to the collection device, all in sync with the processing.

[0046] Therefore, the inclined design of the second guide surface 122 adds gravity-assisted power to the debris, reducing the pushing load on the rotating parts. Especially for heavier or slightly adhered debris, it can prevent wear or jamming of the rotating parts due to excessive resistance, thus extending the equipment's lifespan. At the same time, the second guide surface 122 can regulate the movement path of the debris, preventing it from accumulating randomly at the bottom of the discharge chute 12. Even if the rotating parts pause briefly, the debris will naturally move towards the discharge port 121 along the guide surface, reducing residue and further ensuring unobstructed chip removal channels, thereby improving overall chip removal efficiency.

[0047] As an alternative implementation, the conveying assembly includes a drive member, which is used to drive the rotating member to rotate.

[0048] Specifically, the driving component can be a geared motor, a pneumatic motor, etc.; the rotating component can be a screw screw, a rotating shaft, etc., and when the rotating component is a rotating shaft, multiple paddles are spaced apart on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft rotates, the paddles drive the debris to move towards the discharge port 121 in a "scraping and pushing" manner.

[0049] As an optional implementation method, see [link / reference]. Figure 5 The machine tool 10 is also equipped with a mounting table 13, which extends along a first direction, wherein a sliding groove 11 is provided on the side of the mounting table 13. (See again) Figure 3 The discharge chute 12 specifically includes a connecting section 123 and a through section 124, and the connecting section 123 is connected to the sliding chute 11, while the through section 124 passes through the bottom of the mounting platform 13.

[0050] It should be noted that the number of sliding troughs 11 corresponds one-to-one with the number of connecting sections 123. In this application, sliding troughs 11 are provided on both sides of the mounting platform 13. Correspondingly, the discharge trough 12 includes two connecting sections 123 and one through section 124, with the two connecting sections 123 respectively located at both ends of the through section 124.

[0051] During processing, the workpiece is processed above the mounting platform 13 extending in the first direction. The resulting debris falls to both sides of the mounting platform 13 and into the sliding grooves 11 located on both sides of the mounting platform 13. The debris in the sliding grooves 11 on both sides slides along the groove to the corresponding discharge groove 12 connecting section 123. Subsequently, the rotating part of the conveying component is activated in the through section 124, pushing the debris that has flowed into the connecting sections 123 on both sides toward the discharge port 121, and finally discharged from the discharge port 121 to the collection device, realizing the centralized discharge of debris from both sides.

[0052] In this way, the discharge chute 12 through section 124 passes through the bottom of the mounting platform 13, making full use of the idle space under the mounting platform 13 without occupying the area of ​​the machine tool 10.

[0053] As an optional implementation, the processing equipment also includes a processing table, wherein the mounting table 13 is provided with a slide rail 131 and a drive assembly 132, the processing table is slidably connected to the slide rail 131 via a slider 133, and the drive assembly 132 is used to drive the processing table to slide along the slide rail 131.

[0054] In this way, the workpiece to be processed can be fixed on the processing table before processing. Then, the equipment is started, and the drive component 132 on the mounting platform 13 drives the processing table to slide along the slide rail 131 via the slider 133, adjusting it to a suitable processing position, such as close to the tool or suitable for workpieces of different sizes. During processing, the processing table can move flexibly along the slide rail 131 according to processing requirements (such as continuous cutting or multi-station processing). The generated debris is scattered to both sides of the mounting platform 13 with the processing action, falling into the sliding grooves 11 on both sides, and then pushed to the discharge port 121 by the rotating component through the connecting section 123 and the through section 124 of the discharge groove 12. After processing is completed, the drive component 132 drives the processing table to slide back to the initial position along the slide rail 131, which facilitates the removal of the workpiece and replacement with a new workpiece, and the start of the next round of processing.

[0055] Specifically, the drive assembly 132 may include a motor and a ball screw, and the slider 133 is mounted on the ball screw. In this way, when the motor drives the ball screw to rotate, the rotation of the screw can be converted into linear sliding of the processing table.

[0056] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
