Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent chips dropped on the upper surface and within the inside of a travelling apparatus from entering the gap between a linear motor and a secondary conductor. CONSTITUTION:A chip removing brush 11 is provided at both end surfaces and side surfaces in the travelling direction of a travelling truck 3. This chip removing brush 11 is attached after the end points of brush are neated to be softly in contact with a fixing part not resulting in any resistance for the travelling of the travelling truck 3 so that a gap between the linear motor 4 and secondary conductor 5, tooth engaging portion between a rack 7 and a pinion 8 and a gap between the travelling track 3 and a linearly moving guide can be made small. Moreover, a chip receiver 2 is also provided at both end portions of a fixed base 1. The brush 11 makes small the gap through which the chips enters, preventing that chips enter the gap between the linear motor 4 and secondary conductor 5 to interfere the travelling of the travelling truck 3. Chips can be removed by the brush 11 and are then discharged to the chip receiver 12.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a traveling carriage that is guided and moved by the linear guide attached to the fixed base, and a drive linear motor that is arranged to face the fixed base and drives the traveling carriage. In a traveling device including a position detector that detects the position of the traveling carriage via a rack and a pinion, a chip removing brush that limits a gap between a fixed portion and a moving portion to be small is provided on both end surfaces and side surfaces in the traveling direction of the traveling carriage. The work removing plates whose gaps can be adjusted are provided on both end surfaces of the traveling carriage, and the chip receivers are provided on both end portions of the fixed base.
It is possible to prevent chips and the like from entering the gap between the linear motor and the secondary conductor, the meshing portion of the rack and the pinion, the gap between the traveling carriage and the linear motion guide, and so on, thereby preventing the traveling of the traveling carriage. In this case, since a brush is used, it is a contact type and the gap into which chips and the like enter can be reduced without increasing running resistance. Further, it is possible to prevent the work from entering, which cannot be prevented by the chip removing brush. further,
There is an effect that chips, works and the like that have fallen and accumulated on the upper surface and inside of the traveling device can be collectively discharged to a chip receiver.
