Description

  The present invention relates to a cutting waste removing apparatus and a cutting waste removing method, and more particularly, to a cutting waste removing apparatus and a cutting waste removal for discharging and removing cutting waste and cutting oil remaining in a machining hole opened in a workpiece. It is about the method.

  For example, in the case of turning or milling, cutting waste is discharged in a fixed direction. Therefore, a chip processing device (hereinafter, referred to as “cutting waste”) that is capable of sucking and collecting cutting waste by a suction nozzle installed in a pre-discharge position has been put into practical use. Hereinafter, the cutting waste processing apparatus according to this conventional example will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a lathe separation device, a filter device, and a compression molding device with a cutting waste disposal device.

  That is, the cutting waste sucked by a suction nozzle (not shown) is composed of a flexible hose, a joint member, a hose, a pipe, and the like, and will be described later via a main suction passage provided with a cutting waste passage sensor. It introduce | transduces into the cyclone type | mold separation apparatus 140 of the cutting waste processing apparatus 65 which becomes a structure. The cutting waste introduced into the cyclone type separation device 140 and separated from the suction air is introduced into the housing 180 of the compression molding device 160 through the introduction passage 158.

In the compression molding device 160, the cutting waste accumulated on the bottom 214 of the housing 180 is compressed by the compression ram 182 lowered by the hydraulic cylinder 184 installed on the top of the housing 180, and the block body 215 is molded. Thereafter, the movable member 220 forming the bottom portion 214 of the housing 180 is retracted to the retracted position by the horizontally disposed hydraulic cylinder 224, and the block body 215 is dropped onto the bottom wall by the compression ram 182. Next, the movable member 220 is moved to the pushing position by the hydraulic cylinder 224, and the block body 215 is discharged from the discharge port 218 (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-33868

According to the cutting waste processing apparatus according to the conventional example, the cutting waste is formed into a block body that is easy to handle. Accordingly, it becomes easy to transport the cutting waste for processing, and since it has a small volume, the number of times of transportation is reduced and the processing operability of the cutting waste is improved.
However, in the case of a machining hole drilled by drilling or the like, the cutting waste is not completely discharged from the machining hole, and the cutting waste is generally left in the machining hole together with the cutting oil. Even if it is possible to suck the cutting waste adhering to the inner wall in the vicinity of the opening of the processing hole by sucking the cutting waste left in the processing hole with a suction device, It is extremely difficult to remove the remaining cutting waste by suction. In particular, in the case of a deep hole with a large depth (L / D) ratio between the hole diameter D and the depth L, the cutting waste tends to remain at the bottom, and the cutting waste cannot be removed. There is a problem.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to cut the cutting waste and cutting oil remaining in the processing hole by ejecting compressed air into the processing hole opened in the workpiece, thereby making it possible to remove and remove the cutting waste and the cutting oil. It is providing the removal apparatus and the cutting waste removal method.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the means employed by the cutting dust removing apparatus according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a suction nozzle and an inside of the suction nozzle. The compressed air supplied through the air supply pipe communicated from the outside of the suction nozzle is sprayed toward the bottom of the machining hole of the workpiece, and the cutting waste and cutting oil remaining in the machining hole are injected into the machining hole. It is characterized by comprising an injection nozzle having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the processing hole, which is ejected from the opening of the processing hole.

  The means adopted by the cutting dust removing apparatus according to claim 2 of the present invention has a tool automatic change function, and a suction nozzle mounted on a spindle frame of a machine tool controlled by NC, and is housed in the suction nozzle. Compressed air supplied through an air supply pipe communicating from the outside of the suction nozzle is sprayed toward the bottom of the machining hole of the workpiece, and cutting waste and cutting oil remaining in the machining hole are injected into the machining hole. A suction nozzle that is ejected from the opening and has a smaller diameter than the diameter of the processing hole, and one end side is detachably connected to the end portion of the suction nozzle by a first joint, and the other end side communicates with the cutting waste collecting means. One end side is detachably connected to the end portion of the air supply pipe by a second joint, and the other end side communicates with the compressed air supply means.

Compressed air is jetted toward a position intersecting within a circle having a radius of 30% of the radius of the machining hole centering on the radial center at the opening position.

  In the cutting waste removing apparatus according to claims 1 to 3 of the present invention, the compressed air injected from the injection nozzle whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of the processing hole can reach the bottom of the processing hole sufficiently. Therefore, according to the cutting waste removal apparatus according to claims 1 to 4 of the present invention, when compressed air is sprayed from the spray nozzle toward the bottom of the machining hole, the cutting waste and cutting oil remaining in the machining hole are It is effectively discharged upward from the opening of the processed hole. Then, since the cutting waste and cutting oil discharged upward from the opening in the processing hole are sucked by the suction nozzle, the cutting waste remaining in the processing hole more effectively than the cutting waste processing apparatus according to the conventional example only by suction. Can be removed.

  According to the cutting waste removing apparatus of the second aspect of the present invention, the suction nozzle that accommodates the injection nozzle whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of the machining hole has a tool automatic change function, and is a spindle of a machine tool controlled by NC. Since it is attached to the frame, it is possible to automatically remove the cutting waste and cutting oil remaining in the machining hole opened in the workpiece by this machine tool. Furthermore, one end side of the suction line that communicates with the cutting waste collecting means is detachably connected to the end portion of the suction nozzle by the first joint, and the other end side is compressed to the end portion of the air supply pipe by the second joint. One end side of an air supply line communicating with the air supply means is detachably connected. Therefore, since this cutting waste removing device is detachable, it can be attached to other machine tools.

  In the cutting dust removing device according to claim 3 of the present invention, the spray nozzle has the spray nozzle whose diameter is set to 70% or less of the diameter of the machining hole, and the tip of the spray nozzle is 0 mm or more from the tip surface of the suction nozzle, The angle between the nozzle center line passing through the center in the radial direction and the hole center line passing through the center in the radial direction of the processed hole is set to be 20 ° or less. Is set. Therefore, according to the cutting waste removing apparatus according to claim 3 of the present invention, the compressed air injected from the injection nozzle is thinner than the diameter of the machining hole, and the compressed air flow path bounced off at the bottom of the machining hole is processed. Since the air flow accompanying the cutting waste and cutting oil flows in the direction of the opening of the processing hole without facing the flow of compressed air injected from the injection nozzle, the cutting waste and cutting oil are secured in the hole. Is effectively discharged from the machining hole.

  In the cutting waste removal method according to claim 4 of the present invention, when removing the cutting waste and cutting oil remaining in the machining hole, an extension line of the nozzle center line is formed from the injection nozzle having the configuration according to claim 3. Compressed air is jetted toward a position that intersects within a circle having a radius of 30% of the radius of the processing hole centered on the radial center at the opening position of the processing hole. Therefore, according to the cutting waste removal method according to claim 4 of the present invention, the compressed air flow injected from the injection nozzle is thinner than the diameter of the machining hole, and the compressed air flow path bounced off at the bottom of the machining hole is provided. In order to be secured in the machining hole, the air flow accompanied with cutting waste and cutting oil flows toward the opening direction of the machining hole without facing the flow of compressed air injected from the injection nozzle. Cutting oil is effectively discharged from the machining hole. In addition, when removing cutting waste and cutting oil using the cutting waste removing apparatus according to claims 1 to 3 of the present invention, the tip surface of the suction nozzle is placed on the surface of the workpiece while surrounding the opening of the processing hole. By sucking as if pressed against the cutting chips, it is possible to more efficiently remove cutting waste and cutting oil. However, even if the front end surface of the suction nozzle is not necessarily pressed against the surface of the workpiece, an effect can be obtained if the gap between the front end surface of the suction nozzle and the surface of the workpiece is about several tens of mm. .

  Hereinafter, a cutting dust removing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention that implements the cutting dust removing method of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration explanatory view of a cutting waste removing device attached to a spindle frame of a machine tool that has an automatic tool change function and is controlled by NC, and FIG. 2 shows a tip portion of the cutting waste removing device. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of the injection direction of compressed air from the injection nozzle.

  The cutting waste removing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. That is, reference numeral 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a machine tool that has an automatic tool change function, is NC controlled, and drills a workpiece. A mounting bracket 12 is attached to a spindle frame 11 of the machine tool 10. The cutting metal removal device 1 having the configuration described later is mounted by the mounting bracket 12. The cutting dust removing apparatus 1 includes a suction nozzle 2 that is detachably pressed against the surface of the workpiece 20 in a state in which the tip surface surrounds the opening of the machining hole 21.

  The suction nozzle 2 includes a lower straight portion extending upward, an inclined portion extending obliquely upward from the upper portion of the lower straight portion, and an upper straight portion extending upward from the inclined portion and extending along the side surface of the spindle frame 11. The lower end portion (one end side) of the suction line 3 that extends downward from above is detachably connected to the upper end portion of the upper straight portion by the first joint 4. Yes. The first joint 4 is fixed to the spindle frame 11 by a detachable fastening means (not shown).

  Inside the suction nozzle 2, compressed air is sprayed toward the bottom of the machining hole 21, and cutting waste and cutting oil remaining at the bottom of the machining hole 21 are discharged from the opening of the machining hole 21. In addition, an injection nozzle 5 described later is accommodated. The upper end of the injection nozzle 5 communicates with an air supply pipe 6 that extends in the horizontal direction and penetrates the lower straight portion of the suction nozzle 2 and a vertical portion that extends upward from the horizontal portion. The other end of the air supply pipe 6 communicates with compressed air supply means (not shown), and the lower end (one end side) of the air supply line 7 extending downward from above is detachably connected by the second joint 8. Has been. The second joint 8 is fixed to the spindle frame 11 by a detachable fastening means (not shown), like the first joint 4.

  In the case of the cutting waste removing apparatus 1 according to this embodiment, as described above, one end side of the suction line 3 whose other end side communicates with the cutting waste collecting means is detachably connected to the end portion of the suction nozzle 2 by the first joint 4. In addition, one end of an air supply line 7 whose other end communicates with the compressed air supply means is detachably connected to the end of the air supply pipe 6 by a second joint 8. Therefore, since this cutting waste removal apparatus 1 is detachable, it can be attached to other machine tools, and is excellent in versatility. Of course, even if the cutting waste removing device 1 is fixed to the spindle frame 11 of the machine tool 10, the initial purpose of removing cutting waste and cutting oil remaining in the machining hole 21 can be achieved.

  The injection nozzle 5 is configured as described later. That is, the diameter d of the injection nozzle 5 is set to 70% or less of the diameter D of the processing hole 21. The distance t between the tip surface of the suction nozzle 2 and the tip of the injection nozzle 5 is set to be in the range of 0 mm or more and 15 mm or less.

  By the way, a seal ring pressed against the surface of the workpiece 20 can be disposed at the tip of the suction nozzle 2. If the tip of the suction nozzle 2 is pressed against the surface of the workpiece 20 in such a configuration, the atmosphere flows into the suction nozzle 2 when cutting chips or cutting oil is sucked by the sealing function of the seal ring. Since there is no such thing, the outstanding effect that the cutting waste 22 and cutting oil discharged | emitted from the process hole 21 can be attracted | sucked more efficiently can be acquired.

Moreover, in the case of the injection nozzle 5 of the cutting waste removing apparatus 1 according to this embodiment, as described above, it is set to be substantially vertical (inclination angle 0 °), but it is inclined to some extent. Is preferred. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 which is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a tip portion of the cutting dust removing device, the injection nozzle 5 includes a nozzle center line L _{nc passing} through the center in the radial direction, and the machining hole 21. To improve the removal performance of removing cutting waste and cutting oil from the machining hole 21 by inclining the angle θ formed with the hole center line L _{hc passing} through the radial center so as to be in the range of 0 to 20 °. Can do.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 5 showing the flow state of the compressed air injected from the injection nozzle, the air flow Fa of the compressed air injected from the injection nozzle 5 is generated on the inner wall on one side of the machining hole 21 (in the drawing). Hits the right side) and descends along the bottom of the machining hole 21. This is because the air flow Fa of the bounced compressed air convects so as to rise along the other inner wall (left side in the drawing) of the processing hole 21.

  In the case of the cutting dust removing apparatus 1 according to this embodiment, the injection nozzle 5 is arranged such that the upper side is on the left side from the vertical center line passing through the radial center of the suction nozzle 2 as shown in FIGS. Inclined. However, the inclining direction of the injection nozzle 5 may be, for example, opposite to that shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, may be the front side in FIGS. 4 and 5, or may be the rear side in FIGS. That is, since the upper side of the injection nozzle 5 may be displaced in any direction with respect to the vertical center line passing through the radial center of the suction nozzle 2, the inclination direction of the injection nozzle 5 is shown in FIG. The orientation shown in FIG.

  Hereinafter, the operation mode of the cutting waste removing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. That is, in the case of the cutting dust removing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the diameter d of the injection nozzle 5 is set to 70% or less of the diameter D of the processed hole 21 as described above. Further, the distance t between the tip surface of the suction nozzle 2 and the tip of the injection nozzle 5 is set to be in the range of 0 mm or more and 15 mm or less.

When the compressed air is injected into the machining hole 21 in order to remove the cutting waste 22 and the cutting oil remaining in the machining hole 21, as shown in FIG. Compressed air is jetted in such a way that the extended line of _nc crosses within a circle having a radius of 30% of the radius of the machining hole 21 centering on the radial center at the opening position of the machining hole 21. The extended line of the nozzle center line L _nc of the injection nozzle 5 is directed to a position where it intersects within a circle having a radius of 30% of the radius of the machining hole 21 centering on the radial center point at the opening position of the machining hole 21. Thus, when positioning the injection nozzle 5, for example, if it is a NC-controlled machine tool, it can be easily performed by an NC program, and even if it is a manual type, it can be sufficiently positioned by visual observation.

  In the cutting waste removing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the compressed air flow Fa repelled at the bottom of the machining hole 21 because the air flow Fa of the compressed air injected from the injection nozzle 5 is smaller than the diameter D of the machining hole 21. A flow passage is ensured in the machining hole 21. Therefore, the air flow of the compressed air that is bounced and accompanies the cutting waste 22 or the cutting oil flows in the opening direction of the machining hole 21 without facing the flow of the compressed air injected from the injection nozzle 5. The cutting oil is effectively discharged from the machining hole 21. Then, the cutting waste 22 and the cutting oil discharged upward from the opening in the machining hole 21 together with the air flow of the compressed air are sucked by the suction nozzle 2. Therefore, according to the cutting waste removal apparatus 1 which concerns on the form of this invention, the cutting waste 22 and cutting oil which remain | survive in the processing hole 21 are removed more effectively than the cutting waste processing apparatus based on the conventional example only by suction. Can do.

Hereinafter, the Example which concerns on the cutting waste removal apparatus of this invention is described. That is, the cutting waste removing apparatus having the configuration described in the section relating to the embodiment of the present invention was manufactured, and the removal test of cutting waste and cutting oil remaining in the processing hole was performed by changing the shape of the injection nozzle variously. The test conditions are as shown in Table 1 below.

Next, a removal test of cutting waste and cutting oil remaining in the processing hole of the workpiece made of an aluminum alloy (JISH4000, alloy number: 5052) will be specifically described. That is, by changing the inclination angle θ of the injection nozzle in a range of 0 to 20 °, the injection nozzles having various diameters d of 70% or less of the diameter D of the processing hole of the injection nozzle are created, and the tip of the injection nozzle and the suction Various changes are made to the distance t between the nozzle tip surface and the range of 0 to 15 mm, and the extended line of the nozzle center line L _nc is directed toward various positions in the radial direction at the position of the opening of the machining hole. The state of removal of cutting waste and cutting oil in the processing hole was investigated by spraying. In the removal test, the tip surface of the suction nozzle was pressed against the surface of the workpiece while surrounding the opening of the processing hole.

  As a result, the inclination angle θ of the injection nozzle is set in the range of 0 to 20 °, the diameter of the injection nozzle is set to 70% or less of the diameter of the processing hole, and the tip of the injection nozzle is 0 mm or more and 15 mm or less from the surface of the workpiece. Make it a range. Then, compressed air is injected from the injection nozzle toward the position where the extended line of the nozzle center line intersects within a circle having a radius of 30% of the radius of the machining hole centering on the radial center at the opening position of the machining hole. As a result, it has been found that cutting chips and cutting oil remaining in the machining hole are effectively removed.

In addition, it was the following case that the cutting waste and cutting oil which remain | survived in the processing hole were most effectively removed. That is, the inclination angle θ of the injection nozzle is 15 °, the diameter d of the injection nozzle is 50% of the diameter D of the machining hole, the distance t between the tip of the injection nozzle and the tip surface of the suction nozzle is 5 mm, and This is a case where the extended line of the nozzle center line L _nc is matched with the radial center point at the position of the opening of the machining hole.

Incidentally, the inclination angle θ of the injection nozzle is 15 °, the diameter d of the injection nozzle is 50% of the diameter D of the processing hole, and the distance t between the tip of the injection nozzle and the tip surface of the suction nozzle is 5 mm, The evaluation results in the most preferable removal test in which the extended line of the nozzle center line L _nc is matched with the radial center point at the position of the opening of the processed hole are illustrated for each processed hole having different diameters. As shown in FIG.

  Table 2 below shows the case where the diameter D of the processed hole is 10 mm for each L / D value, Table 3 below shows the case where the diameter D of the processed hole is 5 mm for each L / D value, and Table 4 below. Indicates the case where the diameter D of the processed hole is 3 mm for each value of L / D. In Tables 2 to 4, double circles in the table indicate that the cutting swarf and cutting oil have been completely removed, and single circles indicate that the cutting swarf has been removed but some cutting oil remains. Is shown.

According to the above Tables 2 to 4, the larger the diameter of the processed hole and the smaller the L / D value (the smaller the processed hole depth), the more effective removal of cutting waste and cutting oil from the processed hole. It can be seen that
And it turns out that the cutting waste removal apparatus which concerns on this invention is very effective in the removal of the cutting waste and cutting oil which remain | survive in the processing hole opened to the workpiece by machining.

  In addition, in the above Example, it applied to the removal operation | work of the cutting waste and cutting oil from the processing hole of the workpiece which consists of aluminum alloys (JISH4000, alloy number; 5052) with the cutting waste removal apparatus which concerns on this invention. The case has been described as an example. However, the present invention can be applied not only to the removal of cutting scraps and cutting oil remaining in aluminum alloy processing holes, but also to the removal of cutting scraps and cutting oil remaining in various metal processing holes. Moreover, since the cutting waste removal apparatus shown in the above embodiment is only one specific example, design changes and the like can be freely made without departing from the technical idea of the present invention.
