Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a multi-layer adjustable chip tray for lathes. Background Technology

[0002] In lathe machining, metal cutting operations generate a large amount of chips. Due to the high-speed rotation and cutting forces during machining, these chips often scatter and splash, threatening not only the cleanliness of the machining environment and the health and safety of operators, but also potentially causing workpiece surface quality degradation, accelerated tool wear, and even equipment failure due to accumulation in the machining area. Chip trays, as essential auxiliary equipment for lathes, have the core functions of collecting chips, guiding coolant return, and reducing machining contamination.

[0003] Currently, most lathe chip collection devices are single-layer integrated structures with fixed volume and non-adjustable collection range. When machining workpieces of different sizes, they either cause chips to fly away due to insufficient coverage or interfere with the moving parts of the machine tool due to excessive size.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a multi-layer adjustable chip tray for lathes to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Purpose of the utility model To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a multi-layer adjustable chip receiving disc for lathes.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multi-layer adjustable chip receiving tray for a lathe, comprising a chip receiving assembly disposed below the working area of ​​the lathe, wherein the chip receiving assembly is provided with an adjustment component diagonally on the outer side; The chip receiving assembly includes a multi-layer chip receiving tray and a chip storage box. The multi-layer chip receiving trays are vertically installed from top to bottom, and the chip storage box is installed at the bottom of the multi-layer chip receiving trays. The bottom of the chip receiving tray is also provided with a pull-out plate. The adjustment assembly includes connecting ears, which are located diagonally outside the chip receiving tray and the chip storage box. Multiple connecting ears are installed outside the fixed rod, and the multiple layers of the chip receiving tray and the chip storage box can all rotate around the fixed rod.

[0007] Preferably, the chip receiving tray has a through groove inside, and a pull-out groove is provided below the through groove. The pull-out plate is installed in the pull-out groove. Multiple sets of mounting grooves are provided at the four corners of the chip receiving tray and the chip storage box. The connecting ear is installed in the mounting groove on one side.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the chip receiving tray is sloped on all four sides, and the bottom of the sloped surface is connected to the through groove.

[0009] Preferably, the fixed rod is provided with multiple sets of evenly spaced limiting discs on its exterior. A rolling groove is provided between the top of the multiple limiting discs and the fixed rod. An annular groove is provided below the connecting ear and matched with the rolling groove. Multiple balls are provided between the annular groove and the rolling groove. The connecting ear rotates above the limiting discs, that is, both the chip receiving disc and the chip storage box can rotate outside the fixed rod.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing rod has multiple threads, a locking cap is provided at the threaded part at the top of the fixing rod, a locking ring is provided outside the thread in the middle section of the fixing rod, and the locking ring is located above the connecting lug.

[0011] Preferably, the chip storage box has a chip inlet at the top, the size of which matches the size of the through groove in the chip receiving tray above, and the chip inlet is surrounded by bevels.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the chip collection box is provided with multiple evenly spaced casters.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model are: 1. This utility model forms a three-dimensional chip collection space by vertically arranging multiple chip collection trays from top to bottom, which can simultaneously receive metal chips generated by different machining heights and processes of the lathe, avoiding the problem of chips falling to the ground due to the limited coverage of traditional single-layer chip collection trays, and greatly improving the chip collection coverage rate. 2. The inner wall of the chip receiving tray of this utility model is designed with a slope around its perimeter, and the bottom of the slope is precisely connected to the through groove. After the chips fall into the chip receiving tray, they can automatically slide along the slope to the through groove, effectively preventing the chips from accumulating locally in the chip receiving tray. At the same time, the chip inlet of the chip storage box is also designed with a slope around its perimeter, and the size of the chip inlet matches the through groove of the chip receiving tray, ensuring that the chips discharged from the through groove can fall smoothly into the chip storage box, further reducing the chip retention at the joint.

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-6 The multi-layer adjustable chip tray for lathe shown includes a chip receiving assembly 1 disposed below the lathe working area, and an adjustment assembly 2 is provided diagonally on the outer side of the chip receiving assembly 1. Specifically, the chip receiving assembly 1 includes a multi-layer chip receiving tray 11 and a chip storage box 12. The multi-layer chip receiving tray 11 is installed vertically from top to bottom, and the chip storage box 12 is installed at the bottom of the multi-layer chip receiving tray 11. The bottom of the chip receiving tray 11 is also provided with a pull-out plate 13. Specifically, the adjustment component 2 includes connecting ears 21, which are located diagonally outside the chip receiving tray 11 and the chip storage box 12. Multiple connecting ears 21 are installed outside the fixed rod 22, and the multi-layer chip receiving tray 11 and the chip storage box 12 can all rotate around the fixed rod 22.

[0019] Specifically, the chip receiving tray 11 has a through groove 14 inside, and a pull-out groove 15 is provided below the through groove 14. A pull-out plate 13 is installed in the pull-out groove 15. Multiple sets of mounting grooves 16 are provided at the four corners of the chip receiving tray 11 and the chip storage box 12. A connecting ear 21 is installed in the mounting groove 16 on one side.

[0020] Specifically, the inner wall of the chip receiving tray 11 is sloped all around, and the bottom of the sloped surface is connected to the through groove 14.

[0021] Specifically, the fixed rod 22 is provided with multiple sets of evenly spaced limiting discs 23 on its outside. A rolling groove 24 is provided between the top of the multiple limiting discs 23 and the fixed rod 22. An annular groove 25 is provided below the connecting ear 21 and matched with the rolling groove 24. Multiple balls 26 are provided between the annular groove 25 and the rolling groove 24. The connecting ear 21 rotates above the limiting discs 23, that is, both the chip receiving disc 11 and the chip storage box 12 can rotate outside the fixed rod 22.

[0022] Specifically, the fixing rod 22 is provided with multiple threads 27, a locking cap 28 is provided at the top thread 27 of the fixing rod 22, a locking ring 29 is provided outside the middle thread 27 of the fixing rod 22, and the locking ring 29 is located above the connecting ear 21.

[0023] Specifically, the chip storage box 12 is provided with a chip inlet 17 at the top. The size of the chip inlet 17 matches the size of the through groove 14 in the chip receiving tray 11 above, and the chip inlet 17 is surrounded by bevels.

[0024] Specifically, the bottom of the chip collection box 12 is provided with multiple evenly spaced casters 18.

[0025] In this embodiment, the multi-layer chip receiving trays 11 are assembled as follows: Multiple chip receiving trays 11 are arranged vertically from top to bottom, ensuring that the bottom of the inclined surface of the inner wall of each chip receiving tray 11 precisely aligns with its own through groove 14, guaranteeing that metal scraps can smoothly slide into the through groove 14 along the inclined surface. Pull-out plates 13 are installed: Pull-out plates 13 are inserted into the pull-out grooves 15 at the bottom of each chip receiving tray 11, ensuring that the pull-out plates 13 can slide flexibly within the pull-out grooves 15 and completely cover the area below the through groove 14 when closed, achieving temporary storage of scraps. A chip storage box 12 is connected: The chip storage box 12 is installed at the bottom of the multi-layer chip receiving trays 11, ensuring that the chip inlet 17 at the top of the chip storage box 12 perfectly matches the size of the through groove 14 of the bottom chip receiving tray 11, while ensuring that the inclined surface of the chip inlet 17 forms a smooth chip guiding channel with the inclined surface of the chip receiving tray 11, preventing scrap from accumulating at the joint.

[0026] Specifically, connecting ears 21 are fixedly installed in the four corner mounting slots 16 on the outside of the chip receiving tray 11 and the chip storage box 12, ensuring that the diagonal connecting ears 21 of each chip receiving tray 11 and chip storage box 12 are on the same vertical line, providing precise positioning for subsequent connection with the fixing rod 22. Multiple sets of evenly spaced limiting discs 23 are fitted on the outside of the fixing rod 22, ensuring that the distance between adjacent limiting discs 23 is adapted to the height of the chip receiving tray 11 and the chip storage box 12; then, multiple balls 26 are placed in the rolling groove 24 between the top of the limiting disc 23 and the fixing rod 22; then, the chip receiving tray 11 and the chip storage box 12 with connecting ears 21 are fitted onto the fixing rod 22, so that the annular groove 25 below the connecting ear 21 is precisely engaged with the balls 26 in the rolling groove 24, realizing flexible rotation of the chip receiving tray 11 and the chip storage box 12 around the fixing rod 22. Tighten the locking cap 28 at the thread 27 at the top of the fixing rod 22 to prevent the top part from falling off; install a locking ring 29 on the outside of the thread 27 in the middle section of the fixing rod 22, corresponding to the position above each chip receiving plate 11 and chip storage box 12. By rotating the locking ring 29, the connecting ear 21 can be pressed onto the limiting plate 23 to fix the rotation angle of the chip receiving plate 11 and the chip storage box 12.

[0027] Specifically, the assembled chip receiving assembly 1 and adjusting assembly 2 are placed under the lathe working area. The overall position is adjusted using the casters 18 at the bottom of the chip storage box 12 to ensure that the chip receiving tray 11 completely covers the area of ​​the lathe working area where chips are generated. Loosen all locking rings 29 and manually rotate each layer of chip receiving tray 11 and chip storage box 12 to check whether they can rotate smoothly around the fixing rod 22. At the same time, observe the rolling of the balls 26 in the rolling groove 24 and annular groove 25 to ensure there is no jamming. After adjustment, according to the actual working requirements of the lathe, rotate each layer of chip receiving tray 11 to a suitable angle, and then tighten the locking rings 29 at the corresponding positions to fix the angle. Pull out the pull plate 13 at the bottom of the chip receiving tray 11 several times to check whether it slides smoothly and whether it can tightly cover the through groove 14 when closed to prevent chips from leaking out from the gaps.

[0028] Specifically, before the lathe starts working, confirm that the angles of each chip receiving tray 11 have been adjusted and locked according to the lathe's machining position, and that the pull-out plate 13 is in the closed state. During lathe machining, metal chips fall from the lathe's working area, first landing in the uppermost chip receiving tray 11, and then sliding along the inclined surface of the inner wall of the chip receiving tray 11 towards the through groove 14. If the pull-out plate 13 of the uppermost chip receiving tray 11 is closed, the chips can be temporarily stored in that chip receiving tray 11. When it is necessary to clean the chips in a certain chip receiving tray 11, the corresponding pull-out plate 13 can be opened, and the chips fall along the through groove 14 into the lower chip receiving tray 11 or directly into the chip storage box 12. The chip storage box 12 is used to collect the chips falling from each chip receiving tray 11. When the chips in the chip storage box 12 reach a certain amount, the chip storage box 12 can be pushed to the designated cleaning position using the casters 18, the chips can be emptied, and then pushed back to its original position for continued use.

[0029] Specifically, when the position or angle of the workpiece changes during lathe machining, and the chip-receiving range of the chip receiving disc 11 needs to be adjusted, first loosen the locking ring 29 above the corresponding chip receiving disc 11, manually rotate the chip receiving disc 11 to the appropriate angle to ensure that the chip receiving disc 11 can accurately receive the chips generated at the new position, and then tighten the locking ring 29 to fix the angle. If it is necessary to adjust the angle of multiple chip receiving discs 11 at the same time, the locking rings 29 of each layer can be loosened in sequence, rotated and adjusted separately, and then tightened one by one. The operation is flexible and convenient.

[0030] In this embodiment, the multi-layer chip receiving tray 11 is vertically installed from top to bottom, forming a multi-layer three-dimensional chip receiving structure. This structure can simultaneously receive chips generated by the lathe at different heights and during different processing steps, preventing chips from falling to the ground due to the limited coverage of a single chip receiving tray. Furthermore, the inner walls of the chip receiving tray 11 are all inclined, connecting to the through groove 14, which guides the chips to slide quickly into the through groove 14, effectively preventing chip accumulation within the chip receiving tray 11 and improving chip receiving efficiency. Both the chip receiving tray 11 and the chip storage box 12 can rotate around the fixed rod 22, allowing for flexible adjustment of the chip receiving direction and range of the chip receiving tray 11 according to the position and angle changes of the workpiece being processed by the lathe. This ensures that the chip receiving tray 11 always accurately covers the chip-generating area, reducing chip loss and improving the comprehensiveness of chip receiving.

[0031] In this embodiment, the design of the pull-out plate 13 allows each layer of chip receiving tray 11 to independently achieve temporary storage and cleaning of chips. When there are many chips in a certain layer of chip receiving tray 11, there is no need to stop the lathe operation. Simply pull out the corresponding pull-out plate 13 to discharge the chips into the lower layer or the chip storage box 12 without affecting the normal operation of other layers of chip receiving trays 11, thus improving the flexibility of use. The universal wheels 18 at the bottom of the chip storage box 12 make it convenient for workers to push the chip storage box 12 to adjust its position or clean up chips, eliminating the need to carry heavy chip storage boxes and reducing labor intensity. At the same time, the use of ball bearings 26 in the adjustment component 2 reduces the friction between the connecting lug 21 and the fixing rod 22, making the rotation operation of the chip receiving tray 11 and the chip storage box 12 more effortless and smooth.

[0032] In this embodiment, the limiting plate 23 in the adjusting component 2 provides precise support and positioning for each layer of chip receiving plate 11 and chip storage box 12, preventing the chip receiving plate 11 from shifting vertically during use and ensuring the stability of the overall structure. The design of the locking cover 28 and locking ring 29 can respectively prevent the top component of the fixing rod 22 from falling off and fix the rotation angle of the chip receiving plate 11 and chip storage box 12, further enhancing the structural stability. The ball bearing 26 is made of wear-resistant material, and the structural design of the rolling groove 24 and the ring groove 25 can reduce the wear of the ball bearing 26 and extend its service life. At the same time, the main components such as the chip receiving plate 11 and chip storage box 12 are made of high-strength metal material, which can withstand the impact of metal fragments and the wear of long-term use, thus improving the overall service life of the device.

[0033] In this embodiment, the combined design of the multi-layer chip receiving tray 11 and the chip storage box 12 enables layered collection and centralized storage of chips, preventing chips from scattering onto the floor around the lathe and reducing the workload of workers cleaning up chips on the floor. Furthermore, the chip storage box 12 can be moved and cleaned independently, making operation simple and convenient, further reducing cleaning difficulty. Because chips can be effectively collected in the chip receiving tray 11 and the chip storage box 12, the dispersion of chips in the air is reduced, minimizing the impact on air quality in the lathe working area. Simultaneously, it avoids chip accumulation interfering with the normal operation of the lathe equipment, improving the overall working environment.

[0034] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
