Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A chip discharge device of a machine tool includes a coolant tank storing coolant which is supplied to and dropped from a machining point, and a chip conveyor discharging chips which are generated at and dropped from the machining point, to an outside of the machine tool. A bottom wall of the coolant tank is inclined in a chip discharge side by mounting the coolant tank to the bed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A chip discharge device of a machine tool comprising: a coolant tank provided in a lower side of a bed and storing coolant which is supplied to a machining point and dropped; and a chip conveyor provided inside the coolant tank and discharging chips, which are generated at the machining point and dropped, to an outside of the machine tool, wherein a bottom wall of the coolant tank is inclined to a chip discharge side by mounting the coolant tank to the bed. 2 . The chip discharge device of the machine tool according to claim 1 , wherein an end part, which is an opposite side of the chip discharge side, of the coolant tank is mounted to the bed. 3 . The chip discharge device of the machine tool according to claim 2 , wherein an inclination angle of the bottom wall is changeable by changing a height position where the end part of the coolant tank is mounted to the bed. 4 . The chip discharge device of the machine tool according to claim 3 , further comprising: a mounting bracket forming in the end part of the coolant tank, wherein the mounting bracket is screwed and fixed to a supporting boss part which is formed in an opposite part of the mounting bracket in the bed, and an inclination angle of the bottom wall is changeable by changing a thickness of a shim plate which is interposed between the supporting boss part and the mounting bracket.
