[0002] Machining centers are highly efficient automated machine tools widely used in modern manufacturing. Their tool magazines, as the core component for storing and exchanging tools, are crucial for ensuring machining accuracy and equipment reliability. During machining, metal shavings, residual cutting fluid, and oil inevitably adhere to the tool magazine's chains, tool holders, and robotic arms.

[0003] If these contaminants accumulate over time, they can not only affect the accuracy of tool changes but also accelerate the wear of the tool magazine's transmission components, potentially leading to jamming or malfunctions, severely impacting the stable operation and lifespan of the machining center. Therefore, regular and effective cleaning of the tool magazine is a necessary part of equipment maintenance.

[0004] Currently, cleaning tool magazines in machining centers mainly relies on manual operation. Operators typically need to stop the machine and use air guns, brushes, or cotton cloths to wipe and clean them. This method not only consumes valuable machine running time, leading to low production efficiency, but also, due to the complex structure and confined space of the tool magazine, manual cleaning is difficult to achieve thoroughly, easily leaving cleaning blind spots, and the cleaning effect is inconsistent.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes an automatic cleaning device for the tool magazine of a machining center to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic cleaning device for a machining center tool magazine, aiming to improve the problems of manual cleaning of machining center tool magazines in the prior art, such as low efficiency, unstable structure, and poor heat dissipation of existing automatic devices.

The support frame is fixedly connected to the cleaning chamber. The drive motor is fixedly installed on the support frame, and the cleaning fan is fixedly installed on the support frame. The drive motor has an output shaft, and the output shaft is fixedly connected to the drive pulley. The cleaning drive spindle is rotatably mounted on the support frame. The large gear is rotatably mounted on the support frame. The large gear is connected to the drive pulley via the transmission belt. The small gear is fixedly connected to one end of the cleaning drive spindle and meshes with the large gear. The cutter head is fixedly connected to the other end of the cleaning drive spindle, and the cleaning profile cutter holder is fixed on the cutter head.

[0008] Preferably, the cleaning bucket is located directly below the cleaning contour knife holder.

[0009] Preferably, the cleaning fan is fixedly mounted on the support frame and adjacent to the drive motor.

[0010] Preferably, the cleaning fan includes a fixed frame that supports a fan shaft, and the fan shaft is fixedly connected to the fan blades.

[0011] Preferably, the cleaning drive spindle is rotatably connected to the support frame via bearings.

[0013] Preferably, the transmission belt is a synchronous belt.

[0014] Preferably, the meshing transmission between the large gear and the small gear constitutes a speed reduction transmission mechanism.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic cleaning device for a machining center tool magazine, comprising a cleaning box 1, a cleaning hopper 101, and a water inlet 102. The device also includes a support frame 103 fixedly connected to the cleaning box 1. The support frame 103 is used to stably support a drive motor 2 and a cleaning fan 3. The drive motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 103, and the cleaning fan 3 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 103 and adjacent to the drive motor 2. The cleaning fan 3 includes a fixed frame 301 supporting a fan shaft 303, and the fan shaft 303 is fixedly connected to fan blades 302. The drive motor 2 has an output shaft 201, on which a drive pulley 203 is fixedly connected. The device also includes a support frame 103 rotatably mounted on the support frame 103. The cleaning drive spindle 208 on the frame 103 and the large gear 205 rotatably mounted on the support frame 103 are connected to the drive pulley 203 via the transmission belt 202 and the transmission box 204. The transmission box 204 is a synchronous belt. The small gear 206 is fixedly connected to one end of the cleaning drive spindle 208 and meshes with the large gear 205. The meshing transmission of the large gear 205 and the small gear 206 constitutes a reduction transmission mechanism. The cutter head 207 is fixedly connected to the other end of the cleaning drive spindle 208. A cleaning profile cutter holder 209 is fixed on the cutter head 207. The cleaning drive spindle 208 is rotatably connected to the support frame 103 via bearings. The cleaning profile cutter holder 209 is detachably fixed to the outer periphery of the cutter head 207. The cleaning bucket 101 is located directly below the cleaning profile cutter holder 209. The output shaft 201 of the drive motor 2 is fixedly connected to the drive pulley 203. The transmission and execution mechanism includes a cleaning drive spindle 208 rotatably mounted on the support frame 103. One end of the cleaning drive spindle 208 is fixedly connected to a pinion 206, and the other end of the cleaning drive spindle 208 is fixedly connected to a cutter head 207. Preferably, the cleaning drive spindle 208 is rotatably connected to the support frame 103 through bearings to improve rotational stability. The transmission and execution mechanism also includes a large gear 205 rotatably mounted on the support frame 103. The large gear 205 meshes with the pinion 206 for transmission. The drive pulley 203 is connected to the large gear 205 through a transmission belt 202 and a transmission box 204. Preferably, the transmission belt 202 and the transmission box 204 are synchronous belts to ensure transmission accuracy. This ensures that power is smoothly and reliably transmitted from the drive motor 2 to the cutter head 207. The transmission belt 202, as a flexible transmission component, effectively absorbs vibrations generated during the operation of the drive pulley 203, preventing direct transmission of vibrations to subsequent transmission components. The transmission box 204 integrates a synchronous belt tension adjustment structure, which can automatically or manually adjust the tension of the synchronous belt according to belt wear, always ensuring a tight fit between the transmission belt 202, the drive pulley 203, and the large gear 205, preventing slippage. This combination provides excellent transmission buffering and stability. Meanwhile, the large gear 205 and the small gear 206... The meshing transmission constitutes a reduction transmission mechanism, which increases the output torque and is beneficial to cleaning operations. A cleaning profile cutter holder 209 is fixed on the cutter disc 207. As a preferred solution, the cleaning profile cutter holder 209 is detachably fixed to the outer periphery of the cutter disc 207 for easy replacement after wear. As for the auxiliary components mentioned in this embodiment, such as the water inlet 102 and cleaning bucket 101 on the cleaning box 1, and the cleaning fan 3 for heat dissipation, they are all necessary settings to achieve a complete cleaning function. Those skilled in the art can use a variety of conventional methods to achieve this. The specific manufacturing process is a well-known technology in the field and will not be described in detail here. To facilitate the collection of debris and waste liquid generated during cleaning operations, the cleaning hopper 101 is located directly below the cleaning profile cutter holder 209. To improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the drive motor 2, the cleaning fan 3 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 103 and adjacent to the drive motor 2. The cleaning fan 3 includes a fixed frame 301, which supports the fan shaft 303. The fan shaft 303 is fixedly connected to the fan blades 302. To improve the rotational accuracy of the cleaning drive spindle 208 and reduce friction, the cleaning drive spindle 208 is rotatably connected to the support frame 103 via bearings. To facilitate the replacement of worn cutter holders, the cleaning profile cutter holder 209 is detachably fixed to the outer periphery of the cutter disc 207. To ensure the constant and accurate transmission ratio, the transmission belt 202 and the transmission box 204 are synchronous belts. To increase the output torque of the cleaning drive spindle 208 and improve the cleaning force, the meshing transmission of the large gear 205 and the small gear 206 constitutes a reduction transmission mechanism.

[0021] Working principle: When the drive motor 2 is started, the output shaft 201 of the drive motor 2 drives the drive pulley 203 to rotate. The drive pulley 203 transmits power to the transmission box 204 through the transmission belt 202. The transmission box 204 ensures the effective contact area and transmission efficiency of the transmission belt 202 through the internal tensioning wheel structure, and then smoothly transmits the power to the large gear 205, driving the large gear 205 to rotate. Since the large gear 205 meshes with the small gear 206, the small gear 206 rotates accordingly and drives the cleaning drive spindle 208 fixedly connected to the small gear 206 to rotate synchronously. The cleaning drive spindle 208 drives the cutter head 207 fixed to the other end of the cleaning drive spindle 208 to rotate. Finally, the cleaning contour tool holder 209 on the cutter head 207 performs cleaning operations on the machining center tool magazine. Through the synergistic effect of this belt and gear transmission mechanism, stable power transmission and torque amplification effect from the power source to the execution end are achieved. While the cleaning operation is underway, cleaning fluid can be injected through the water inlet 102 to assist in cleaning. The debris and waste fluid generated during the cleaning operation fall into the cleaning hopper 101 located directly below the cleaning profile blade holder 209 for centralized treatment. At the same time, the cleaning fan 3 continuously dissipates heat for the drive motor 2 and transmission mechanism through the rotation of the fan blades 302, ensuring the stable operation of the device. Throughout the process, the support frame 103 provides stable physical support for all the above components.
