The upper end of the second spring 58 is also fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 57. The stop block 510 is designed as an annular structure, and the bottom surface of the stop block 510 is provided with friction patterns for enhancing friction. In the initial state, the center line of the sliding button 52 coincides with the center line of the ball head rod 56, and the arc surface of the arc-shaped protrusion 54 can contact the ball head end of the ball head rod 56.

[0024] Working principle: When the coolant of the diamond lathe is in cooling circulation, the coolant is injected into the filter box 1 through the water inlet pipe 12, and the flow rate of the coolant can be slowed down by the flow valve 13 on the water inlet pipe 12. The coolant with reduced flow rate flows into the first built-in box 16 integrated on the cover plate 14. The bottom plate of the first built-in box 16 is tilted, and the bottom plate is inlaid with an adsorption magnet 17. Therefore, when the coolant slowly flows through the adsorption magnet 17, the larger debris contained therein is adsorbed, and then flows to the second built-in box 19 through the auxiliary drainage pipe 112 of the first built-in box 16. , and the bottom plate of the second built-in box 19 is also designed to be inclined, so the coolant can be further filtered through the filter plate 111 on the second built-in box 19, and the filtered coolant is temporarily stored in the liquid storage tank 2 using the main drain pipe 11, and then the pump body 31 and the fan 33 in the cooling box 3 are started respectively, wherein the pump body 31 can absorb the filtered coolant in the liquid storage tank 2 into the circulating water pipe 32, and the fan 33 can cool the circulating water pipe 32 and the coolant in the circulating water pipe 32, so as to quickly reduce the temperature of the coolant and meet the cooling requirements of the diamond lathe.

[0025] When it is necessary to clean and maintain the adsorption magnets 17 and the filter plates 111 on the first built-in box 16 and the second built-in box 19 inside the filter box 1, the cover plate 14 is removed from the filter box 1 by holding the handle 15, and then the slide button 52 is pushed to slide on the turntable 51, so that the arc-shaped protrusion 54 on the slide button 52 is staggered with the ball head of the ball head rod 56, and the connecting rod 59 fixed on the ball head rod 56 is fixedly connected to the stop block 510, and the connecting rod 59 is further connected to the connecting shaft 57 using the second spring 58. At this time, under the action of the elastic force of the second spring 58, the ball head rod 56, the connecting rod 59 and the stop block 510 are pulled to slide on the connecting shaft 57, so that a gap is generated between the stop block 510 and the cover plate 14, and then After the turntable 51 is driven to rotate by the sliding button 52, the connecting shaft 57 fixedly connected to the turntable 51 through the disc shaft 53 rotates together. At the same time, the disc shaft 53 and the second nut 64 are connected through the preload shaft 67 and the pulley set 68. Therefore, the second nut 64 can rotate inside the fixed rod 61 together with the disc shaft 53. At the same time, the square rod 65 fixed at the lower end of the T-shaped shaft 66 is also slidably connected with the bolt 62. The bolt 62 is not only threadedly connected to the second nut 64 fixed inside the fixed rod 61, but also threadedly connected to the first nut 63 fixed inside the second built-in box 19. Therefore, after the T-shaped shaft 66 drives the square rod 65 to rotate, the bolt 62 can be driven to rotate and engage with the first nut 63 At this time, the second built-in box 19 can be removed, and the first built-in box 16 plugged with the fixing rod 61 fixed on the cover plate 14 can be removed synchronously. At this time, it is convenient for the user to clean and maintain the adsorption magnet 17 on the first built-in box 16 and the filter plate 111 on the second built-in box 19. When the first built-in box 16 and the second built-in box 19 are installed again, the first built-in box 16 and the second built-in box 19 are respectively plugged into the cover plate 14 using the fixing rod 61, and the first auxiliary magnet 18 embedded in the top surface of the first built-in box 16 can be magnetically connected to the cover plate 14 first, and then the second auxiliary magnet 110 embedded in the top surface of the second built-in box 19 can be magnetically connected to the first built-in box 16 and the cover plate 14 respectively. Therefore, the first built-in box 16 and the second built-in box 19 can be pre-fixed on the cover plate 14, and then the tightness of the connection between the first built-in box 16, the second built-in box 19 and the cover plate 14 can be tightened by the bolt 62, and finally the slide button 52 is loosened, and under the elastic force of the first spring 55 fixedly connected to the slide button 52 and the turntable 51 at both ends, the slide button 52 and the arc-shaped protrusion 54 slide toward the ball head rod 56, so that the ball head rod 56 is squeezed, thereby eliminating the gap between the stop block 510 and the cover plate 14, so that the friction pattern of the stop block 510 is in close contact with the cover plate 14 to form a certain friction force. Under the action of this friction force, the state of the overall structure can be locked to improve the stability of the overall device.
