The table 8 has a plurality of dust drop holes 8a at a predetermined position so as to be common to a plurality of openings processed in a plurality of types of game boards 9 and ensure the rigidity of the table 8. Are connected so as to cover the upper opening. A dust collection duct 13 connected to a suction force generating source 16 for collecting dust, which will be described later, is connected to a suction port portion 12 a formed at the rear portion of the dust collection housing 12. The dust collection duct 13 penetrates the rear wall of the dust collection cover 14 attached to the movable plate 5 from the inside to the outside so as to surround the dust collection housing 12. A dust collection duct 15 branchingly connected to the dust collection duct 13 is connected to the suction force generation source 16 at a suction port portion 14 a bulging rearward from the movable platen 5 of the dust collection cover 14.
[0010]
The suction force generation source 16 generates an air flow for suction inside the dust collection ducts 13 and 15 by the fan 16a by driving the fan 16a by the motor 16b. The dust collector 17 interposed between the suction force generation source 16 and the dust collection ducts 13, 15 is loaded with the air flow from the suction force generation source 16 and the cutting waste 18 conveyed from the dust collection ducts 13, 15. Is separated by the filter 17a, captured in the dust collecting chamber 17b, and clean air that has passed through the filter 17a is supplied from the air chamber 17c to the inlet of the fan 16a. The cutting waste 18 captured in the dust collection chamber 17 b is supplied to the incinerator 20 through the pipe 19.
[0011]
Air nozzles 21 and 22 arranged above and below the pipe 16 are connected to the outlet of the fan 16 a in the gap between the dust collection cover 14 and the front side of the dust collection housing 12. The upper air nozzle 21 injects clean air supplied from the suction force generation source 16 into the dust collecting housing 12 by the output from the control unit 11 while the game board 9 is being moved by the router processing. From the upper side of the game board 9, an air flow is generated to the inside of the dust collecting housing 12 through the opening formed in the game board 9, the through hole 10 a of the plate 10, and the dust dropping hole 8 a of the table 8. The lower air nozzle 22 injects the air supplied from the suction force generation source 16 toward the lower part of the dust collecting housing 12 by the output from the control unit 11 during the router processing of the game board 9. The dust collecting housing 12, the dust collecting duct 13, the dust collecting cover 14, the dust collecting duct 15, the suction force generating source 16 and the dust collector 17 constitute dust collecting means. The upper air nozzle 21 and the lower air nozzle 22 constitute air blowing means. The driving unit 2 of the cutter 4 includes a motor 2a attached to the movable end of the XZ driving unit 3, a cylindrical cover 2b covering the motor 2a, a brush 2c provided in a cylindrical shape at the lower opening end thereof, And a dust collecting duct 2d connected to the upper opening end of the cover 2b. The dust collecting duct 2d is connected to the dust collecting chamber 17b of the dust collector 17 like the dust collecting ducts 13 and 15, and the motor 2a outputs the dust collecting duct 2d. When the cutting tool 4 attached to the end is driven to cut the game board 9, the cutting waste that rises from the cutting tool 4 passes through the gap between the cutting tool 4 and the brush 2 c and the gap between the motor 2 a and the cover 2 b. The air is sucked into the dust collection duct 2d, and the motor 2a is cooled by the suction airflow.
[0012]
According to this embodiment, the suction force generating source 16 for collecting dust is driven, and the movable platen 5, the table 8, and the blade driving unit 2 are processed by the processing data 11a corresponding to the model of the game board 9 positioned and mounted on the table 8. When cutting a plurality of openings in the game board 9 with the cutting tool 4, a part of the cutting waste 18 generated along with the cutting rises from the cutting tool 4 and the dust collection around the cutting tool 4 is not shown. Sucked in a duct.
[0013]
In particular, during the movement of this router processing, air is injected from the upper air nozzle 21 into the dust collecting housing 12, and therefore, if even one opening is formed in the game board 9, the air is collected from the upper air nozzle 21. Due to the negative pressure generated by the air flow injected into the dust housing 12, the game board 9 is opened from above the game board 9 through the through hole 10a of the board 10 and the waste drop hole 8a of the table 8. An air flow is generated inside the dust collecting housing 12, and this air flow causes the cutting waste 18 that has not been sucked and partitioned by the dust collecting duct 2 d around the blade 4 to enter the dust collecting housing 12 from the periphery of the game board 9. Induced fall. The cutting waste 18 that has fallen into the dust collecting housing 12 flows from the opening formed in the game board 9 through the through hole 10a of the plate 10 and the waste dropping hole 8a of the table 8 toward the suction port 12a. And is trapped in the dust collection chamber 17b of the dust collector 17 via the dust collection duct 13 from the suction port portion 12.
[0014]
Moreover, not Shikire sucked by the dust collecting duct 2d near the blade 4, moreover, the remaining cutting chips 18 Tsu Naka Shikire suction in the dust collecting housing 12 at a negative pressure, the dust collection cover 14 than the surrounding of the game board 9 Fall into. The cutting waste 18 that has fallen into the dust collection cover 14 is blown off toward the suction port portion 14 a by the air jetted from the lower air nozzle 22, and from the upper opening portion of the dust collection cover 14 to the suction port portion 14 a. It rides on the air flow toward it and is captured by the dust collection chamber 17b of the dust collector 17 through the dust collection duct 15 from the suction port portion 14a.
[0015]
In short, according to this embodiment, during the router processing, the cutting waste 18 soaring from the blade 4 is sucked by the dust collecting duct 2d provided around the blade 4, and the motor 2a is cooled by the sucked airflow, while the dust is collected. The cutting waste 18 that has fallen to the game board 9 side without being separated by the suction by the dust duct 2d is caused by the negative pressure caused by the air flow injected from the upper air nozzle 21 as a result of the occurrence, and the opening of the game board 9 and the through hole of the board 10 10a and the dust falling hole 8a of the table 8 are guided and dropped into the dust collecting housing 12, and are also automatically and accurately collected by the dust collecting ducts 13 and 15 by being dropped from the game board 9 onto the dust collecting cover 14. Thus, the production efficiency can be improved.
[0016]
Further, according to this embodiment, the upper air nozzle 21 and the lower air nozzle 22 are connected to the outlet of the suction force generation source 16 connected to the dust collection ducts 13 and 15 via the dust collector 17, and the dust collector 17. Therefore, the clean air separated from the cutting waste 18 is used for recirculation, so that an injection air supply source such as a compressor different from the suction force generation source 16 can be omitted, and the structure of the apparatus can be simplified.
[0017]
Further, a leak valve 24 is provided in either the outlet of the fan 16a shown in FIG. 1 or the blowing path 23 connecting the outlet to the upper air nozzle 21, and the amount of air escaped to the outside of the blowing path 23 by the leak valve 24 is provided. A suction force generation source 26 for driving the fan 26a with the motor 26b is provided in the suction path 25 for controlling or connecting the dust collection chamber 17b and the dust collection ducts 2d, 13, 15 and the air chamber 17c or air A leak valve 28 is provided in any one of the suction paths 27 connecting the chamber 17c and the inlet of the fan 16a, and the rotation speed of the fan 26a and the rotation speed of the fan 16a in the suction path 25 are controlled, or the leak valve 28 To control the amount of air that escapes from the air chamber 17c or the suction path 27 to one or both of these controls. By doing so, the suction air volume at the dust collection duct 13 is set to “large” and the suction air volume at the upper air nozzle 21 is set to “small” so that the suction air volume from the upper air nozzle 21 is reduced. If it is set larger than this, the dust collection performance can be further improved.
[0018]
