Abstract
The invention relates to a device for receiving and separating chips and cooling liquid collecting on machine tools, in which a transport element is guided along a filter drum at a radial distance from the latter on guide rails, and cooperating driver elements acting only in the circumferential direction on the filter drum and arranged in each case at a distance from one another are provided on the transport element and on the filter drum.
Claims15
A device for receiving and separating chips and cooling liquid collecting on machine tools, the cooling liquid being returned for reuse and the chips being discharged, comprising:
- a receiving tank for receiving the chips and the cooling liquid, a rising guide section adjoining the receiving tank;
- an elevated delivery section adjoining the guide section;
- and
- a chain-like closed transport element which, at least in the region receiving the chips and the cooling liquid and in the delivery section, is guided via at least first and second deflecting elements, wherein:
- at least one of the first and second deflecting elements is coupled to a rotary drive, and a rotatably mounted filter drum which is in drive connection with the transport element;
- the transport element is guided along the filter drum at a radial distance from the latter on guide rails, the guide rails are located between the filter drum and the transport element to define said radial distance;
- and
- cooperating driver elements acting only in the circumferential direction on the filter drum and arranged in each case at a distance from one another are provided on the transport element and on the filter drum.
