Abstract
This design proposes an anti-chip cover used on the workbench of machine tool, including a cover plate, a plurality of active anti chip bars penetrating the interior of cover, a revolving shaft that penetrates the interior of the cover and active anti chip bar, and a plurality of tongue depressors and tongue depressor bodies installed on the revolving shaft. The design can be used to cover the workbench of machine tool. Only simple adjustment is needed to adjust the edge shape of the active anti chip bar so that it fits the outer contour shape of the workpiece or fixture mounted on the machine tool. Then, the position of the active anti-chip bar can be locked. There is no need for multiple anti chip covers in fixed shape when the machine tool is installed with different workpieces and fixtures, which solves the problem that multiple anti chip covers with different edges are needed if there is need to cover the workbench surface with anti chip cover. So far, the design has applied for Chinese national patent on March 17, 2016. The patent number is 201610153703.7 and it was awarded China National Invention Patent on December 26, 2017.
