System Design And Drive System Optimization Of The Chips Collector

In the manufacturing process, a great amount of cutting chips is produced, especially for the removal of material, such as turning, milling and etc. According to the removal material, the chips can be classified into copper, iron, aluminum. It was reported that 115.7 million tons chips was produced in 2011, while 122.5 tons was consumed. The chips was recycled or used as a reductant for the lead to treat the polluted water, which is reused widely.The chips in the plant contain lots of oil, emulsion with a sharp shape, which pollute the environment or do harm to the workers. And, the irregular shapes make it hard to collect and transport, which would cost a lot.According to the literature review, there is several types of collection systems for the chips, such as manually, automatic, or hybrid. The most difficult part is how to collect the chips in the corner and the small chips. The aims of this work is to develop a dive to collect the small chips-grainy or powder. The collection device was designed with the integration of CAD/CAM with a novel structure. It consists of two major parts: collection and drive system, which was easily controlled with a high efficiency. It was used widely in the manufacturing plants with a high market profit.This thesis was organized with four parts. First, the conception design was proposed to collect the chips with permanent magnets. Second, the framework was analyzed with FEA to optimize the structure with stress-strain relation. Third, the design was simulated with CAD/CAM integration. Four, the running deviation was investigated in the system, and a solution was proposed to avoid this problem. Finally, conclusions were given.
