Abstract

To provide a dust collection deburring apparatus which is capable of performing efficient and preferable debarring work and which is capable of, even in the case of handing a large workpiece, performing preferable deburring work by placing the workpiece together with a pallet on a work table by a forklift. A dust collection deburring apparatus A includes a work table apparatus configured to allow a product together with a pallet to be placed on and allow a worker to perform deburring work, a chip antiscattering apparatus arranged so as to surround the work table apparatus and configured to prevent scattering of chips, and a chip suction collection apparatus including a dust collecting device configured to suck air from an internal space surrounded by the chip antiscattering apparatus to suck the chips generated in the deburring work.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dust collection deburring apparatus for deburring work to a product placed on a pallet, the dust collection deburring apparatus comprising:
a work table apparatus configured to allow the product together with the pallet to be placed on and allow a worker to perform the deburring work;
a chip antiscattering apparatus arranged so as to surround the work table apparatus and configured to prevent scattering of chips; and
a chip suction collection apparatus including a dust collecting device configured to suck air from an internal space surrounded by the chip antiscattering apparatus to suck the chips generated in the deburring work; wherein
the chip antiscattering apparatus includes a partition wall part vertically provided so as to surround the work table apparatus,
the partition wall part is configured so that at least a part of the partition wall part is rotatable around a central axis extending in a vertical direction, and the rotation selectively forms a worker entrance opening at a first rotation position and a product delivery opening at a second rotation position, the product delivery opening disposed at a location separate from and approximately 180 degrees in a rotation direction from the worker entrance opening, and
the worker entrance opening is configured to allow a worker to enter an inside of the partition wall part and exit to an outside of the partition wall part, and the product delivery opening is configured to allow the product together with the pallet to be delivered to and from the work table apparatus inside the partition wall part.

2. The dust collection deburring apparatus according to claim 1 , the work table apparatus including:
a table;
a chip pan supported by the table and placed on the table; and
a rotating mechanism supported by the table, and configured to support the pallet and the product placed on the chip pan in a rotatable manner around a rotary axis extending in a vertical direction.

3. The dust collection deburring apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the chip pan includes a wall part projecting upward and extending along a peripheral edge of the chip pan, and the peripheral edge with at least the wall part is formed so as to be in contact with and along an inner surface of the partition wall part of the chip antiscattering apparatus.

4. The dust collection deburring apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the chip suction collection apparatus
is configured so that the dust collecting device sucks and collects the chips received by a chip pan.

5. The dust collection deburring apparatus according to claim 1 , the dust collection deburring apparatus comprising:
a blower device configured to send air from behind the worker entering an inside of the chip antiscattering apparatus to perform the deburring work, toward the product placed on the work table apparatus.

6. The dust collection deburring apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
the blower device is configured so that air blows from behind obliquely to the worker entering the inside through a worker entrance opening disposed to the chip antiscattering apparatus to perform the deburring work, and further forms an air curtain configured to obstruct the worker entrance opening.

7. The dust collection deburring apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the partition wall part is configured, so that a part of the partition wall part is allowed to perform the rotation to be slid in a direction along a wall surface of the partition wall part and that a sliding operation for open forms the product delivery opening.

8. The dust collection deburring apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein
the chip antiscattering apparatus is configured, so that an intrusion prevention member protrudes to the worker entrance opening when the sliding operation for open of the partition wall part is performed, and prevents the worker from entering the inside through the worker entrance opening.
