Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical technology and relates to a cleaning mechanism for machine tools. Background Technology

[0002] After a CNC machine tool finishes machining a workpiece, iron filings and cutting fluid remain inside the machine and on the workpiece. Although the machine tool has a built-in spray system, it's impossible to thoroughly clean both the machine and the workpiece. Since existing CNC machine tools are equipped with pneumatic units and water tanks, water guns and air guns are typically used to address this issue. Specifically, the water gun is connected to the machine tool's water tank via a pipe, and the air gun is connected to the machine tool's pneumatic unit via a pipe. Operators then use either the water gun or air gun to perform the cleaning operation as needed.

[0003] However, the water tank and pneumatic unit of CNC machine tools are located outside the machine's outer protective cover, on the left or right side. Workers must then access them from the front. In this situation, the usual practice is to use long hoses for both air and water lines, allowing workers to walk around the machine's left or right side to the front for use. However, this method is obviously inconvenient. Of course, some people rotate hooks on the front of the machine to hang the air and water guns. While this eliminates the need to walk around the machine, the hoses are exposed and drag on the ground, easily obstructing worker movement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a cleaning mechanism for machine tools, which solves the problem of inconvenient access to air guns and water guns.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A cleaning mechanism for a machine tool includes an air gun and a water gun. It is characterized by further including a mounting box, which is fixedly connected to the lower part of the front side of the machine tool's outer protective structure. The lower part of the front side of the machine tool's outer protective structure has a clearance opening. The mounting box is located at the clearance opening and has a rear opening. An air supply connector and a water supply connector are fixed to the side of the mounting box. The inlet ends of both the air supply connector and the water supply connector are partially located inside the mounting box. The air gun and the water gun are both suspended on the mounting box. The air gun and the outlet end of the air supply connector, as well as the water gun and the outlet end of the water supply connector, are connected via flexible hoses.

[0007] The cleaning mechanism of this machine tool has a clearance opening at the lower front side of the outer protection, and a mounting box with a rear opening is fixedly connected to the clearance opening on the front side of the outer protection. The clearance opening and the rear opening of the mounting box create a connection between the inside of the mounting box and the inside of the machine tool. On this basis, the cleaning mechanism of this machine tool has an air supply connector and a water supply connector fixedly connected to the side of the mounting box. The inlet end of the air supply connector and the inlet end of the water supply connector are both located inside the mounting box. This allows for the direct arrangement of air lines inside the machine tool to connect the inlet end of the air supply connector to the pneumatic unit of the machine tool, and then connecting the air gun to the outlet end of the air supply connector with a hose. Similarly, it allows for the direct arrangement of water lines inside the machine tool to connect the inlet end of the water supply connector to the water tank of the machine tool, and then connecting the water gun to the outlet end of the water supply connector with a hose.

[0008] The above setup achieves a concealed arrangement of water and air lines, which are located inside the machine tool instead of long pipes that are directly exposed and drag on the ground. This not only improves convenience by allowing workers to access the air gun and water gun directly from the front of the machine tool, but also eliminates the possibility of workers tripping over the pipes while moving around the machine tool, thus ensuring higher safety.

[0009] In the cleaning mechanism of the aforementioned machine tool, a hook is fixed to the front side of the mounting box, the air gun is hung on the hook, and a cylindrical protrusion is provided on the top of the mounting box. An insertion hole is provided on the protrusion along its axial direction, and the water gun is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0010] The air gun is hung on a hook fixed to the front of the mounting box, while the water gun is inserted into the socket on the protrusion at the top of the mounting box. This way, the air gun and water gun do not interfere with each other, making them more convenient to use. In addition, the water gun is usually relatively long, and the socket for inserting the water gun is located in the cylindrical protrusion, which provides a sufficient insertion distance to ensure the stability of the water gun on the mounting box.

[0011] In the cleaning mechanism of the aforementioned machine tool, the water supply connector is located above the air supply connector, and the water supply connector and the air supply connector are offset in the front-to-back direction.

[0012] The above design makes it less likely for the hose connecting the air supply connector to the air gun and the hose connecting the water supply connector to the water gun to get tangled together.

[0013] In the cleaning mechanism of the aforementioned machine tool, the insertion hole penetrates the top wall of the mounting box, and an inclined guide surface is connected between the inner front side wall and the inner bottom wall of the mounting box. The inner bottom wall of the mounting box is flush with the lower edge of the relief port, or the inner bottom wall of the mounting box is slightly higher than the lower edge of the relief port.

[0014] When the water gun is used, there will be residual water. The above-mentioned design allows the water remaining on the water gun to drip onto the guide surface under its own weight after it is inserted into the socket. Then, the water is guided by the guide surface and finally flows into the machine tool through the clearance port, which can reduce the contamination of the machine tool's exterior.

[0015] In the aforementioned cleaning mechanism for a machine tool, the mounting box includes a box body and a positioning plate, both of which are fixedly connected to the outer protection of the machine tool. The box body has an opening on the rear side, and the positioning plate has a vertical part that is vertically arranged and perpendicular to the outer protection of the machine tool. The air supply connector and the water supply connector are both fixed on the vertical part of the positioning plate. The left or right side of the box body is provided with two clearance notches, and the vertical part of the positioning plate is located inside the box body. The air supply connector and the water supply connector pass through the two clearance notches respectively.

[0016] During installation, first fix the air supply connector and water supply connector to the positioning plate, then fix the positioning plate to the outer protection of the machine tool. Next, extend the clearance openings of the outer protection for the air and water lines located inside the machine tool and connect them to the air supply connector and water supply connector respectively. Since the positioning plate is plate-shaped, it will not cover the clearance openings, facilitating the connection operations of the air lines and air supply connectors, as well as the water lines and water supply connectors. Finally, fix the rear-opening housing to the outer protection. While the housing covers the positioning plate, the air supply connector and water supply connector are located within the two clearance notches. The existence of the two clearance notches ensures that the outlet ends of the air supply connector and the water supply connector are outside the mounting box for connection to the air gun and water gun.

[0017] In the cleaning mechanism of the aforementioned machine tool, the positioning plate is L-shaped, the top of the housing is open, the horizontal part of the positioning plate is located inside the top of the housing, and the protrusion is provided on the horizontal part of the positioning plate and protrudes out of the opening at the top of the housing.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the cleaning mechanism of this machine tool features a concealed arrangement of water and air channels, which are located inside the machine tool instead of long pipes that are directly exposed and drag on the ground. This not only improves convenience by allowing workers to directly access the air gun and water gun from the front of the machine tool, but also eliminates the possibility of workers tripping over the pipes while moving around the machine tool, thus providing higher safety.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the machine tool has a cleaning mechanism. The machine tool includes a bed and an outer protective cover 1 surrounding the bed. The cleaning mechanism includes an air gun 2 and a water gun 3. It also includes a mounting box 4, which is fixedly connected to the lower front side of the outer protective cover 1. The lower front side of the outer protective cover 1 has a clearance opening 1a. The mounting box 4 is located at the clearance opening 1a and has a rear opening. The clearance opening 1a and the rear opening of the mounting box 4 allow the interior of the mounting box 4 to communicate with the interior of the machine tool. An air supply connector 5 and a water supply connector 6 are fixed to the side of the mounting box 4. The inlet ends of the air supply connector 5 and the water supply connector 6 are partially located inside the mounting box 4. The air gun 2 and the water gun 3 are both suspended on the mounting box 4. The air gun 2 and the outlet end of the air supply connector 5, as well as the water gun 3 and the outlet end of the water supply connector 6, are connected by flexible hoses (not shown in the figure). The water supply connector 6 is located above the air supply connector 5, and the water supply connector 6 and the air supply connector 5 are offset in the front-to-back direction. Specifically, a hook 7 is fixed to the front side of the mounting box 4, and the air gun 2 is hung on the hook 7. A cylindrical protrusion 4a is provided on the top of the mounting box 4, and an insertion hole 4b is provided on the protrusion 4a along its axial direction. The insertion hole 4b penetrates the top wall of the mounting box 4, and the water gun 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 4b.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the mounting box 4 includes a box body 4c and a positioning plate 4d, both fixedly connected to the outer protection 1 of the machine tool. The box body 4c has a rear opening, and the positioning plate 4d has a vertical portion that is perpendicular to the outer protection 1 of the machine tool. The air supply connector 5 and the water supply connector 6 are both fixed on the vertical portion of the positioning plate 4d. The box body 4c has two clearance notches 4c 1 on its left or right side. The vertical portion of the positioning plate 4d is located inside the box body 4c, and the air supply connector 5 and the water supply connector 6 pass through the two clearance notches 4c 1 respectively. The positioning plate 4d is specifically L-shaped, with an opening at the top of the box body 4c. The horizontal portion of the positioning plate 4d is located inside the top of the box body 4c, and a protrusion 4a is provided on the horizontal portion of the positioning plate 4d and protrudes out of the opening at the top of the box body 4c. In this embodiment, an inclined guide surface 4c2 is connected between the inner front side wall and the inner bottom wall of the housing 4c. The inner bottom wall of the housing 4c is flush with the lower edge of the relief opening 1a, or the inner bottom wall of the housing 4c is slightly higher than the lower edge of the relief opening 1a.

[0026] The cleaning mechanism of this machine tool has a clearance opening 1a at the lower front side of the outer protection 1, and a mounting box 4 with a rear opening is fixedly connected at the clearance opening 1a on the front side of the outer protection 1. The clearance opening 1a and the rear opening of the mounting box 4 make the interior of the mounting box 4 connected to the interior of the machine tool. On this basis, the cleaning mechanism of this machine tool also has an air supply connector 5 and a water supply connector 6 fixedly connected to the side of the mounting box 4. The inlet end of the air supply connector 5 and the inlet end of the water supply connector 6 are both located inside the mounting box 4. In this way, the air path can be arranged directly inside the machine tool to connect the inlet end of the air supply connector 5 to the pneumatic unit of the machine tool, and then the air gun 2 can be connected to the outlet end of the air supply connector 5 with a hose. Similarly, the water path can be arranged directly inside the machine tool to connect the inlet end of the water supply connector 6 to the water tank of the machine tool, and then the water gun 3 can be connected to the outlet end of the water supply connector 6 with a hose.

[0027] The above setup achieves a concealed arrangement of water and air lines, which are located inside the machine tool instead of long pipes that are directly exposed and drag on the ground. This not only improves convenience by allowing workers to directly access the air gun 2 and water gun 3 from the front of the machine tool, but also eliminates the possibility of workers tripping over the pipes while moving around the machine tool, thus providing higher safety.

[0028] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
