Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of titanium product processing technology, and relates to a titanium product processing equipment and processing method for a vacuum consumable arc furnace. Background Technology
[0002] An electric arc furnace is an industrial furnace that uses the heat generated by an electric arc to melt ores and metals. The energy is highly concentrated when the gas discharge forms an electric arc, with the arc temperature exceeding 3000℃. For metal smelting, electric arc furnaces offer greater process flexibility than other steelmaking furnaces, effectively removing impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus, easily controlling furnace temperature, and requiring less floor space, making them suitable for smelting high-quality alloy steels. Electric arc furnaces can be classified according to the arc type, including three-phase electric arc furnaces, consumable electric arc furnaces, single-phase electric arc furnaces, and resistance electric arc furnaces.
[0003] Titanium is lighter than steel, yet its mechanical strength is similar, twice that of aluminum, and five times that of magnesium. It also boasts superior heat resistance compared to gold and steel. At room temperature, a thin, dense oxide film easily forms on its surface, resisting strong acids and even aqua regia, demonstrating strong corrosion resistance. Therefore, due to its many excellent properties, titanium is commonly used in the production of titanium alloy products, such as titanium alloy plates and rods, produced in consumable arc furnaces. Both titanium plates and rods require machining processes to achieve the desired finished product. Since titanium generates high temperatures during machining, significantly impacting the cutting tools, cutting fluid is used to cool the cutting process and extend the tool's lifespan. Traditional cutting fluids are typically refluxed and cooled before being reused. Since the cutting fluid has a high temperature after heat conversion, direct cooling requires a large amount of refrigerant, resulting in high energy consumption and hindering cost control. Therefore, we propose a titanium product processing equipment and method using a vacuum consumable arc furnace to address the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the problem that traditional cutting fluids are directly refluxed and cooled after use, and then cooled down for reuse, since the cutting fluid has a high temperature after heat conversion, direct cooling requires a large amount of refrigerant, resulting in high energy consumption and cost control, this invention provides a titanium product processing equipment and processing method for a vacuum consumable electric arc furnace.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: It includes a base, which has a hollow structure. A frame is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the base. A mounting seat is provided on the top of the frame, and a cutting machine for cutting titanium products is provided at the bottom of the mounting seat. It also includes:
[0006] An L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the base. A liquid receiving hopper is fixedly connected through the top of the L-shaped plate and is located directly below the cutting machine for collecting and draining cutting fluid.
[0007] Two sets of water collection mechanisms are symmetrically arranged inside the base, and the two sets of water collection mechanisms are used to alternately collect the cutting fluid leaking down into the liquid hopper, so that the cutting fluid can achieve the effect of pre-cooling.
[0008] The chiller is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom wall of the base. Its water inlet is connected to two sets of water collection mechanisms through a pipe, so that the cutting fluid collected in the water collection mechanism can enter the chiller for cooling.
[0009] The spray mechanism, located on the top of the base, is used to lubricate and cool the cutting tools on the cutting machine. The spray mechanism is connected to the outlet of the chiller through a pipe, so that the cooling cutting fluid in the chiller is sprayed out through the spray mechanism.
[0010] Furthermore, the water collection mechanism includes a water tank located on the bottom wall of the base. A liquid outlet hose is fixedly inserted through the bottom of the liquid receiving hopper. The bottom end of the liquid outlet hose passes through the top of the base and is fixedly connected to a U-shaped tube. The two ends of the U-shaped tube face downwards and are located directly above the two water tanks respectively. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the base. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor. A sleeve block is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the rotating rod, and the middle section of the U-shaped tube is fixedly connected to the top of the sleeve block.
[0011] Furthermore, a filter screen is fixedly connected inside the liquid receiving hopper.
[0012] Furthermore, a filter disc is fixedly connected inside the water tank, a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the top center of the filter disc, a disc is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring, a liquid collection trough is opened on the top of the disc, and the liquid collection trough corresponds to the port of the U-shaped tube. Multiple drain holes are opened in a ring shape on the bottom edge of the liquid collection trough, and the drain holes are inclined.
[0013] Furthermore, the top of the filter disc is fixedly perforated with multiple water suction pipes in a ring shape. The bottom ends of the multiple water suction pipes extend downward to the bottom of the water tank. The top ends of the multiple water suction pipes extend inward through the fixed ring and are fixedly connected to the same water supply hose. One end of the water supply hose extends outward from the center of the bottom wall of the liquid collection tank and is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe. One end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the water inlet of the chiller.
[0014] Furthermore, the spraying mechanism includes a water pump fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of the base. The water inlet of the water pump is connected to the water outlet of the chiller through a water outlet pipe. The water outlet of the water pump is connected to a spraying hose. The other end of the spraying hose is fixedly connected to a spraying head. The spraying head is fixedly connected to the mounting base at a position corresponding to the cutting tool on the cutting machine.
[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the water tank is suspended and fixed to the inner wall of one side of the base. The bottom of the water tank is rotatably fitted with a downwardly extending first rotating ring. The inner wall of the first rotating ring is fixedly connected with multiple connecting rods in a ring shape. The ends of the multiple connecting rods that extend close to each other are fixedly connected to the same stirring shaft. The stirring shaft rotates through the bottom of the water tank. Two stirring blades are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side of the stirring shaft located inside the water tank. The outer wall of the first rotating ring is fixedly fitted with an external toothed ring. The bottom outer wall of the base is fixedly connected with a drive motor. The output shaft of the drive motor rotates through the bottom of the base and is fixedly fitted with a transmission gear that meshes with the external toothed ring.
[0016] Furthermore, a second rotating ring is rotatably sleeved on the upper part of the outer wall of the water tank. Multiple vertical rods arranged in a ring are fixedly connected between the bottom of the second rotating ring and the top of the first rotating ring. An end face gear is fixedly connected to the top of the second rotating ring. Multiple rotating shafts are rotatably connected through the side wall of the water tank in a ring, and all the rotating shafts are located above the filter disc. A spur gear that meshes with the end face gear is fixedly sleeved on the end of the rotating shaft outside the water tank. Multiple fan blades are fixedly connected in a ring at the end of the rotating shaft inside the water tank. The air delivery position of the fan blades corresponds to the position of the water flow from the drain hole and the position of the water pump pipe, which is used to cool the inlet and outlet liquids with air.
[0017] Furthermore, a horizontal plate is fixedly connected inside the base. One end of each of the two water supply hoses passes through the top of the horizontal plate and extends downward. A vertical plate is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the horizontal plate, and the end of the rotating rod away from the servo motor is rotatably connected to one side of the vertical plate. Two fixing blocks are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate. Each of the two fixing blocks has a through hole inside, and one side of each of the two water supply hoses passes through the corresponding through hole. A sliding rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the side of the two through holes that are close to each other. A squeezing block is fixedly connected to the end of each of the two sliding rods that are far from each other. The squeezing block is used to squeeze the water supply hose. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the end of each of the two sliding rods that are close to each other. A turntable is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod, and the other end of each of the two connecting rods is rotatably connected to one side of the turntable.
[0018] A method for processing titanium products for vacuum consumable arc furnaces includes the following steps:
[0019] S1. First, add an appropriate amount of cutting fluid to one of the water tanks, then start the servo motor and adjust the tilt direction of the U-tube so that the end near the cutting fluid is in the high position.
[0020] S2. When the cutting machine is working, the water pump is started at the same time to draw the pre-filled cutting fluid into the chiller for cooling, and then spray it from the spray nozzle onto the cutting tool for lubrication and cooling.
[0021] S3. After heat exchange, the cutting fluid is collected and filtered through the receiving hopper and flows from the lower end of the U-shaped tube into a water tank that has not been filled with cutting fluid beforehand.
[0022] S4. When collecting the cutting fluid, start the drive motor at the same time, which will drive the stirring blades and fan blades to rotate, so as to achieve the effects of stirring and cooling as well as bidirectional air cooling, thereby pre-cooling the cutting fluid.
[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0024] 1. The titanium product processing equipment for a vacuum consumable arc furnace disclosed in this invention uses a servo motor to drive a rotating rod, which in turn drives a U-shaped tube to rotate slightly at a certain angle via a sleeve block. When the U-shaped tube rotates at an incline, the cutting fluid collected in the receiving hopper flows into the U-shaped tube through the outlet hose. The cutting fluid flows towards the lower end and into the corresponding water tank below. This allows one water tank to collect the cutting fluid, while the other water tank can be pre-filled with cutting fluid for cooling. This achieves the effect of using the cutting fluid in one water tank and collecting the used cutting fluid in the other. By starting the servo motor to drive the U-shaped tube to rotate, the incline can be adjusted, allowing for alternating use of the two water tanks. This provides initial cooling of the cutting fluid and reduces the amount of refrigerant used later.
[0025] 2. The titanium product processing equipment for a vacuum consumable arc furnace disclosed in this invention, by starting the drive motor, can not only drive the stirring blades to rotate, thereby achieving stirring and cooling of the cutting fluid, but also drive the second rotating ring to rotate through the rotation of the first rotating ring, and simultaneously drive the end face gear to rotate. Through the meshing motion with the spur gear, it can drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the fan blades to rotate, achieving the effect of air delivery. When one of the water tanks collects the cutting fluid, the heat-exchange cutting fluid flows into the collection tank from the U-shaped pipe and flows downward from multiple inclined drain holes. The flowing cutting fluid is located directly in front of the fan blades, which can achieve a preliminary air cooling effect on the flowing cutting fluid. Then, combined with stirring and cooling, it can effectively improve the cooling efficiency. The other water tank supplies liquid to the chiller. When the cutting fluid in the tank flows out from the water pump pipe into the water delivery hose, the cutting fluid will flow upward along the water pump pipe and also pass directly in front of the fan blades, which can again achieve air cooling of the supplied cutting fluid, thereby greatly improving the cooling effect.
[0026] 3. The titanium product processing equipment for a vacuum consumable arc furnace disclosed in this invention can simultaneously drive the turntable to rotate when the servo motor is started to adjust the tilt direction of the U-shaped tube. Since the rotation direction of the turntable is the same as that of the U-shaped tube, when the water tank used with the lower end of the U-shaped tube is in the collection state, its internal water delivery hose cannot be used for liquid delivery, while the water tank used with the upper end of the U-shaped tube is in the liquid delivery state, and its internal water delivery hose can be used for liquid delivery. Therefore, as the turntable rotates, the two connecting rods can drive the two sliding rods to move in the same direction, and drive the two extrusion blocks to move in the same direction synchronously. The extrusion block closer to the lower end extrudes the water delivery hose to achieve the effect of cutting off, preventing the cutting fluid from being sucked out by the water pump. Conversely, the other extrusion block is far away from the water delivery hose and does not extrude it. Therefore, the cutting fluid in the corresponding water tank can be sucked out by the water pump to the chiller for cooling. This process is repeated to achieve the pre-cooling effect of the cutting fluid.
[0027] This invention utilizes two water tanks, along with an inclined U-shaped tube, to allow for alternating use of the two tanks. This enables two different usage states for the cutting fluid: collection and delivery. This facilitates initial cooling of the cutting fluid, reduces subsequent refrigerant consumption, and thus lowers production costs. By activating the drive motor, simultaneous stirring and cooling of the cutting fluid, as well as bidirectional air cooling, can be achieved. This ensures cooling of the cutting fluid in both tanks, significantly improving the cooling effect. The entire operation is simple and provides excellent cooling performance.

[0043] Example 1
[0044] like Figures 1-4As shown, a titanium product processing equipment, used in the field of vacuum consumable electric arc furnace manufacturing, includes a base 1, a frame 2, a mounting base 3, a cutting machine 4, an L-shaped plate 5, a liquid receiving hopper 6, four support legs 7, a chiller 13, two sets of water collection mechanisms, a liquid spraying mechanism, and several heat dissipation holes 49. The base 1 has a hollow structure. The four support legs 7 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom outer wall of the base 1 for supporting the base 1. The frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the base 1. The mounting base 3 is provided on the top of the frame 2. The cutting machine 4 for cutting titanium products is provided at the bottom of the mounting base 3. The L-shaped plate 5 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the base 1. The liquid receiving hopper 6 is fixedly connected through the top of the L-shaped plate 5 and is located directly below the cutting machine 4 for collecting cutting fluid. The base 1 has two sets of water collection mechanisms symmetrically arranged inside it. These mechanisms are used to collect the cutting fluid leaking from the bottom of the liquid hopper 6, allowing the cutting fluid to be pre-cooled. The chiller 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom wall of the base 1. Its inlet is connected to both sets of water collection mechanisms through a pipe, allowing the cutting fluid collected in the collection mechanisms to enter the chiller 13 for cooling. The spray mechanism is located on the top of the base 1 and is used to lubricate and cool the cutting tools on the cutting machine 4. The spray mechanism is connected to the outlet of the chiller 13 through a pipe, allowing the cooled cutting fluid in the chiller 13 to be sprayed out. Several heat dissipation holes 49 are arranged in two sets, located on opposite sides of the base 1, for heat dissipation inside the base 1.
[0045] In one aspect of this embodiment, such as Figures 2-7As shown, the water collection mechanism includes a water tank 16 located on the bottom wall of the base 1. A liquid outlet hose 11 is fixedly inserted through the bottom of the liquid receiving hopper 6. The bottom end of the liquid outlet hose 11 passes through the top of the base 1 and is fixedly connected to a U-shaped tube 12. The two ends of the U-shaped tube 12 face downwards and are located directly above the two water tanks 16 respectively. A servo motor 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the base 1. A rotating rod 19 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 18. A sleeve block 20 is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the rotating rod 19. The middle section of the U-shaped tube 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the sleeve block 20. The servo motor 18 is started to drive the rotating rod 19 to rotate. The sleeve 20 can drive the U-shaped tube 12 to rotate slightly at a certain angle, which can be controlled between 5 and 10 degrees. The outlet hose 11 facilitates the rotation of the U-shaped tube 12. When the U-shaped tube 12 is rotated to an inclined position, the cutting fluid collected in the receiving hopper 6 will flow into the U-shaped tube 12 through the outlet hose 11. The cutting fluid will flow towards the lower end and into the corresponding water tank 16 below. At this time, one water tank 16 collects the cutting fluid, while the other water tank 16 can be pre-filled with cutting fluid for cooling. This achieves the effect of using the cutting fluid in one water tank 16 and collecting the used cutting fluid in the other water tank 16. The inclination angle is adjusted by starting the servo motor 18 to drive the U-shaped tube 12 to rotate, thereby achieving the alternating use of the two water tanks 16. This can provide preliminary cooling of the cutting fluid and reduce the amount of refrigerant used later.
[0046] In one aspect of this embodiment, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the spraying mechanism includes a water pump 8 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the base 1. The inlet of the water pump 8 is connected to the outlet of the chiller 13 via an outlet pipe 14. The outlet of the water pump 8 is connected to a spraying hose 9, and the other end of the spraying hose 9 is fixedly connected to a spray head 10. The spray head 10 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 3 at a position corresponding to the cutting tool on the cutting machine 4. By starting the water pump 8, the cutting fluid in one of the water tanks 16 can be drawn out from the pump pipe 34 and the water supply hose 35, and enters the chiller 13 through the inlet pipe 21 for cooling. Then, it enters the spraying hose 9 through the outlet pipe 14, and finally sprays out from the spray head 10 onto the cutting tool. Due to the setting of the spraying hose 9, when the cutting machine 4 moves on the frame 2 with the mounting base 3 (the principle of the cutting machine 4 and the installation of the cutting machine 4 and the mounting base 3 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this application), the spray head 10 can move synchronously with the position of the cutting tool.
[0047] In one aspect of this embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, a filter screen 42 is fixedly connected inside the liquid receiving hopper 6. Since a large amount of metal shavings are generated when cutting titanium products, the filter screen 42 can filter the cutting fluid collection and leakage, preventing large pieces of shavings from entering the water tank 16 and avoiding blockage of the pipes.
[0048] Example 2
[0049] This embodiment is a further improvement on the previous embodiment: such as Figures 8-9 As shown, a filter disc 29 is fixedly connected inside the water tank 16. A fixing ring 30 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the filter disc 29. A disc 31 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring 30. A liquid collection tank 32 is opened on the top of the disc 31, and the liquid collection tank 32 corresponds to the end of the U-shaped tube 12. Multiple drain holes 33 are opened in a ring shape on the bottom edge of the liquid collection tank 32. The drain holes 33 are inclined. When the U-shaped tube 12 is inclined, one end of it is exactly in the liquid collection tank 32. At this time, the cutting fluid flows into the liquid collection tank 32 along the U-shaped tube 12, and then flows out from the drain holes 33. After being filtered again by the filter disc 29, the cutting fluid flows into the lower part of the water tank 16 for subsequent use.
[0050] In one aspect of this embodiment, such as Figures 8-9 As shown, the top of the filter disc 29 is fixedly perforated with multiple water suction pipes 34 in a ring shape. The bottom ends of the multiple water suction pipes 34 extend downward to the bottom of the water tank 16, and the top ends of the multiple water suction pipes 34 extend inward through a fixing ring 30 and are fixedly connected to the same water delivery hose 35. One end of the water delivery hose 35 extends outward from the center of the bottom wall of the liquid collection tank 32 and is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe 21. One end of the water inlet pipe 21 is connected to the water inlet of the chiller 13. The cutting fluid in the water tank 16 can be concentratedly transported to the water delivery hose 35 through the multiple water suction pipes 34, and then enters the chiller 13 through the water inlet pipe 21 for cooling.
[0051] Example 3
[0052] This embodiment is a further improvement on the previous embodiment: such as Figures 8-9As shown, the bottom of the water tank 16 is suspended and fixed to the inner wall of one side of the base 1. The bottom of the water tank 16 is rotatably fitted with a first rotating ring 25 extending downward. The inner wall of the first rotating ring 25 is fixedly connected with multiple connecting rods 24 in a ring shape. The ends of the multiple connecting rods 24 that extend close to each other are fixedly connected to the same stirring shaft 22. The stirring shaft 22 rotates through the bottom of the water tank 16. Two stirring blades 23 are symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the stirring shaft 22 inside the water tank 16. The outer wall of the first rotating ring 25 is fixedly fitted with an external toothed ring 26. The bottom outer wall of the base 1 is fixedly connected with a drive motor 27. The output shaft of the drive motor 27 rotates through the bottom of the base 1 and is fixedly fitted with a transmission gear 28 that meshes with the external toothed ring 26. When the drive motor 27 is started, it drives the transmission gear 28 to rotate. This gear, through meshing with the external gear ring 26, drives the first rotating ring 25 to rotate. Simultaneously, it drives the stirring shaft 22 to rotate via the connecting rod 24, which in turn drives the stirring blades 23 to rotate. This achieves stirring and cooling of the cutting fluid. Since both water tanks 16 are equipped with stirring structures, when the drive motor 27 is started, the stirring blades 23 in both water tanks 16 rotate, allowing for simultaneous stirring and cooling of the cutting fluid in both water tanks 16. This process can be applied to both freshly collected cutting fluid and cutting fluid that is about to be sent to the chiller 13, achieving a preliminary cooling effect.
[0053] Example 4
[0054] This embodiment is a further improvement on the previous embodiment: such as Figures 8-9As shown, a second rotating ring 40 is rotatably sleeved on the upper part of the outer wall of the water tank 16. A plurality of vertical rods 39 arranged in a ring are fixedly connected between the bottom of the second rotating ring 40 and the top of the first rotating ring 25. An end face gear 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the second rotating ring 40. A plurality of rotating shafts 36 are rotatably connected through the side wall of the water tank 16 in a ring, and the plurality of rotating shafts 36 are all located above the filter disc 29. A spur gear 38 that meshes with the end face gear 41 is fixedly sleeved at the end of the rotating shaft 36 located outside the water tank 16. A plurality of fan blades 37 are fixedly connected in a ring at the end of the rotating shaft 36 located inside the water tank 16. The air supply position of the fan blades 37 corresponds to the water flow position of the drain hole 33 and the position of the water pumping pipe 34, and is used to perform air cooling for the liquid inlet and outlet. When the drive motor 27 is started, it drives the stirring blade 23 to rotate, achieving stirring and cooling. At the same time, the rotation of the first rotating ring 25 drives the second rotating ring 40 to rotate, which in turn drives the end face gear 41 to rotate. Through the meshing motion with the spur gear 38, the rotating shaft 36 can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the fan blade 37 to rotate, achieving the effect of air delivery. When one of the water tanks 16 collects the cutting fluid, the heat-exchanged cutting fluid flows from the U-shaped pipe 12 into the collection tank 32 and flows downward from multiple inclined drain holes 33. The cutting fluid flowing out is located directly in front of the fan blade 37, which provides initial air cooling. Combined with stirring, this further enhances the cooling efficiency. Meanwhile, another water tank 16 supplies liquid to the chiller 13. As the cutting fluid flows out from the pump pipe 34 into the water hose 35, it flows upward along the pump pipe 34 and passes directly in front of the fan blade 37, where it is again cooled by air, thus significantly improving the cooling effect.
[0055] Example 5
[0056] This embodiment is a further improvement on the previous embodiment: such as Figure 7As shown, a horizontal plate 15 is fixedly connected inside the base 1. One end of each of the two water supply hoses 35 passes through the top of the horizontal plate 15 and extends downward. A vertical plate 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the horizontal plate 15. The end of the rotating rod 19 away from the servo motor 18 is rotatably connected to one side of the vertical plate 17. Two fixing blocks 43 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 15. Each of the two fixing blocks 43 has a through hole 44 inside. One side of each of the two water supply hoses 35 passes through the corresponding through hole 44. A sliding rod 45 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the side of the two through holes 44 that are close to each other. A squeezing block 48 is fixedly connected to the end of each of the two sliding rods 45 that is far from each other. The squeezing block 48 is used to squeeze the water supply hoses 35. A connecting rod 47 is rotatably connected to the end of each of the two sliding rods 45 that are close to each other. A turntable 46 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 19. The other end of each of the two connecting rods 47 is rotatably connected to one side of the turntable 46. When the servo motor 18 is started to adjust the tilt direction of the U-shaped tube 12, it simultaneously drives the turntable 46 to rotate. Since the rotation direction of the turntable 46 is the same as that of the U-shaped tube 12, the water tank 16, which is used with the lower end of the U-shaped tube 12, is in a collecting state, and its internal water delivery hose 35 cannot be used for infusion. However, the water tank 16, which is used with the upper end of the U-shaped tube 12, is in a dispensing state, and its internal water delivery hose 35 can be used for infusion. Therefore, as the turntable 46 rotates, the water can be dispensed through the two connecting... Rod 47 drives two sliding rods 45 to move in the same direction, and drives two squeezing blocks 48 to move in the same direction synchronously. The squeezing block 48 closer to the lower end squeezes the water supply hose 35 to achieve the effect of cutting off and prevent the cutting fluid from being sucked out by the water pump 8. Conversely, the other squeezing block 48 is far away from the water supply hose 35 and does not squeeze it to cut off. Therefore, the cutting fluid in the corresponding water tank 16 can be sucked out by the water pump 8 to the chiller 13 for cooling. This is repeated to achieve the pre-cooling effect of the cutting fluid.
[0057] A method for processing titanium products for vacuum consumable arc furnaces includes the following steps:
[0058] S1. First, add an appropriate amount of cutting fluid to one of the water tanks 16, then start the servo motor 18 and adjust the tilt direction of the U-tube 12 so that the end near the cutting fluid is in the high position.
[0059] S2. When the cutting machine 4 is working, the water pump 8 is started at the same time to pump the pre-filled cutting fluid into the chiller 13 for cooling, and then spray it from the spray nozzle 10 onto the cutting tool for lubrication and cooling.
[0060] S3. After heat exchange, the cutting fluid is collected and filtered by the receiving hopper 6 and flows from the lower end of the U-shaped tube 12 into the water tank 16, which has not been filled with cutting fluid beforehand.
[0061] S4. When collecting the cutting fluid, the drive motor 27 is started at the same time, which drives the stirring blade 23 and the fan blade 37 to rotate, so as to achieve the effects of stirring and cooling and bidirectional air cooling, thereby pre-cooling the cutting fluid.
[0062] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the cutting machine 4, water pump 8, chiller 13, servo motor 18 and drive motor 27 are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.
[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
