Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A workpiece discharge device for a machine tool is provided with a container, which is mounted on a turret and receives a workpiece held by a spindle from a receiving port, and a storage box, which stores the workpiece inside the container by using a revolution of the turret and passing through a chute. The container is mounted on the turret and is capable of swinging around a swinging shaft which is parallel to a revolving axis of the turret, and the receiving port is arranged to direct vertically upward in a predetermined indexing angle range of the container when the workpiece is received.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A workpiece discharge device for a machine tool wherein a workpiece held by a rotatable spindle is machined by operating a tool mounted on a turret, which is arranged to be capable of being revolved and indexed, comprising: a container being mounted on the turret and receiving the workpiece held by the spindle from a receiving port; and a storage box storing the workpiece inside the container by using a revolution of the turret and passing through a chute, wherein the container is mounted on the turret and is capable of swinging around a swinging shaft which is parallel to a revolving axis of the turret, and the receiving port is arranged to direct vertically upward in a predetermined indexing angle range of the container when the workpiece is received. 2 . The workpiece discharge device for the machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein the chute, which guides the workpiece to the storage box, is provided to be movable back and forth between a downward position of the container which is revolved in a discharge position and a standby position inside the storage box which is arranged outside the machine. 3 . The workpiece discharge device for the machine tool according to claim 1 , further comprising: a switching mechanism being capable of switching between a swinging state in which the container enables to swing around the swinging shaft and a fixed state in which the receiving port of the container is fixed to direct radially outward the turret. 4 . The workpiece discharge device for the machine tool according to claim 2 , further comprising: a switching mechanism being capable of switching between a swinging state in which the container enables to swing around the swinging shaft and a fixed state in which the receiving port of the container is fixed to direct radially outward the turret. 5 . The workpiece discharge device for the machine tool according to claim 2 , wherein the container swings around the swinging shaft by moving the chute to a downward position of the container. 6 . The workpiece discharge device for the machine tool according to claim 3 , wherein the container swings around the swinging shaft by moving the chute to a downward position of the container.
