Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 7This invention provides a technical solution: a multi-station vertical power turret, comprising a multi-station vertical power tool holder assembly capable of mounting multiple tools, including a drive motor base 11 and a multi-station tool holder 12. The tools are mounted on the multi-station tool holder 12, and a built-in motor in the multi-station tool holder 12 drives the tools to rotate. The structure and principle of the multi-station vertical power turret are well-known technologies and will not be described in detail here. A heat dissipation shroud 2 is installed at the center of the multi-station tool holder 12. A support ring 22 and a dust-blocking mesh 21 are fitted around the outside of the heat dissipation shroud 2. The dust-blocking mesh 21 is fitted around the outside of the support ring 22. The heat dissipation shroud 2 and the multi-station tool holder 12 are... The heat dissipation shroud 2 has a heat dissipation cavity inside, and vents b are provided on the outer surface of the heat dissipation shroud 2 to facilitate airflow exchange between the inside and outside of the heat dissipation shroud 2, achieving natural heat dissipation. The support ring 22 is made of metal and has a certain structural strength, serving to support the dust-blocking mesh 21. The dust-blocking mesh 21 adsorbs debris and particulate dust in the air, providing dust prevention. A water storage ring pipe 3 is installed on the surface of the heat dissipation shroud 2. The inner surface of the water storage ring pipe 3 has a water outlet pipe 31 that connects to the inside. The surface of the water storage ring pipe 3 has a water inlet and a sealing cap, allowing cooling liquid to be manually added into the water storage ring pipe 3 through the water inlet. 3. The internal cooling liquid flows out from the outlet pipe 31; the battery box 4 is installed at the center of the heat dissipation shroud 2. The battery box 4 contains a partition 42, a removable battery 43, a cooling fan 8, and a micro water pump 9. The structure and principle of the removable battery 43, the cooling fan 8, and the micro water pump 9 are all known technologies and will not be described in detail in this application. The cooling fan 8 and the micro water pump 9 are powered by the removable battery 43. The removable battery 43 can be manually replaced and charged. When the cooling fan 8 is running, it accelerates the airflow inside and outside the heat dissipation shroud 2, which is conducive to cooling the inside of the heat dissipation shroud 2, thereby cooling the heat generated by the motor inside the multi-station tool holder 12. The miniature water pump 9 serves to pump and circulate water, thus achieving liquid cooling. The heat-conducting components installed inside the heat dissipation shroud 2 include a welded connecting plate 71 and a heat-conducting copper plate 72, a fixed copper plate 73 welded to the heat-conducting copper plate 72, and a water supply pipe 6 welded to the fixed copper plate 73. The two ends of the water supply pipe 6 are respectively welded to a liquid supply pipe 5 and an insertion pipe 61. The heat-conducting copper plate 72 and the fixed copper plate 73 serve to conduct heat. Utilizing the principle of heat conduction, the heat generated by the motor inside the multi-station tool holder 12 is conducted to the fixed copper plate 73 and the water supply pipe 6. When the cooling liquid inside the water supply pipe 6 circulates, it can carry away some of the heat, thus achieving a certain water cooling effect.
[0020] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the heat dissipation shroud 2 is provided with a concave annular groove a, and the inner surface of the heat dissipation shroud 2 is provided with vents b, which facilitates airflow exchange between the inside and outside of the heat dissipation shroud 2 and achieves the purpose of natural heat dissipation. The dust-blocking mesh 21 and the support ring 22 are fitted inside the annular groove a. The dust-blocking mesh 21 is annular, and the support ring 22 is mesh. The support ring 22 is made of metal material and has a certain structural strength, which serves to support the dust-blocking mesh 21. The dust-blocking mesh 21 has the effect of adsorbing debris and particulate dust in the air and has a dustproof function.
[0021] In this embodiment, a semi-circular protrusion c is uniformly fixed on the inner surface of the support ring 22, and the outer surface of the heat dissipation shield 2 is tangent to the semi-circular protrusion c. The semi-circular protrusion c separates the support ring 22 and the surface of the heat dissipation shield 2, which is conducive to air circulation.
[0022] In this embodiment, one end of the connecting plate 71 is welded to the inner surface of the heat dissipation shroud 2. The water supply pipe 6 is serpentine in shape. After the insertion pipe 61 penetrates the surface of the heat dissipation shroud 2, it is inserted into the interior of the water storage ring pipe 3. The serpentine water supply pipe 6 has a long path, which is conducive to water cooling and heat removal. The liquid in the water supply pipe 6 will circulate to the interior of the water storage ring pipe 3.
[0023] In this embodiment, the inlet and outlet ends of the micro water pump 9 are pipe e and pipe d, respectively. One end of the delivery pipe 5 passes through the heat dissipation shroud 2 and is connected to pipe d. Pipe e is connected to the outlet pipe 31. The internal liquid circulation path of the water storage ring pipe 3 is water storage ring pipe 3, outlet pipe 31, micro water pump 9, delivery pipe 5, delivery pipe 6, insertion pipe 61, and water storage ring pipe 3. When the micro water pump 9 is running, the cooling liquid inside the water storage ring pipe 3 flows and circulates along the path of water storage ring pipe 3, outlet pipe 31, micro water pump 9, delivery pipe 5, delivery pipe 6, insertion pipe 61, and water storage ring pipe 3, carrying away some heat and having a certain water cooling effect.
[0024] In this embodiment, a breathable mesh plate 41 is fixed on the surface of the battery box 4, and a circular groove communicating with the inside of the heat dissipation shroud 2 is provided on the battery box 4. The battery box 4 is connected to the inside and outside, allowing for airflow exchange between the inside and outside, which has the effect of natural ventilation and heat dissipation, and does not affect the flow of gas inside the battery box 4.
[0025] In this embodiment, the cooling fan 8 is installed in the circular groove of the battery box 4 by screws. The airflow path inside and outside the heat dissipation cover 2 is dustproof mesh 21, support ring 22, heat dissipation cover 2, cooling fan 8 inside the battery box 4, and breathable mesh plate 41. When the cooling fan 8 is running, the airflow inside and outside the heat dissipation cover 2 flows along the path of dustproof mesh 21, support ring 22, heat dissipation cover 2, cooling fan 8 inside the battery box 4, and breathable mesh plate 41, which accelerates the airflow inside and outside the heat dissipation cover 2, which is conducive to cooling inside the heat dissipation cover 2, and thus cooling the heat generated by the built-in motor of the multi-station tool holder 12.
[0026] Working principle and usage process of this invention: When the multi-station tool holder 12 stops rotating and is in the process of heat dissipation, the cooling fan 8 runs, and the airflow inside and outside the heat dissipation shroud 2 flows along the path of the dustproof mesh 21, the support ring 22, the heat dissipation shroud 2, the cooling fan 8 inside the battery box 4, and the breathable mesh plate 41, which accelerates the airflow inside and outside the heat dissipation shroud 2, which is conducive to cooling the inside of the heat dissipation shroud 2, and thus cooling the heat generated by the motor inside the multi-station tool holder 12. The support ring 22 is made of metal material and has a certain structural strength. It serves to support the dustproof mesh 21. The dustproof mesh 21 adsorbs debris and particulate dust in the air and has a dustproof function. The heat-conducting copper plate 72 and the fixed copper plate 73 have the effect of heat conduction. By utilizing the principle of heat conduction, the heat generated by the built-in motor of the multi-station tool holder 12 is conducted to the fixed copper plate 73 and the water pipe 6. When the micro water pump 9 is running, the cooling liquid inside the water storage ring pipe 3 flows and circulates along the path of water storage ring pipe 3, outlet pipe 31, micro water pump 9, delivery pipe 5, delivery pipe 6, insertion pipe 61, and water storage ring pipe 3, carrying away some heat and having a certain water cooling effect. The battery box 4 is connected to the inside and outside, allowing for airflow exchange and natural ventilation and heat dissipation without affecting the flow of gas inside the battery box 4. In summary: The tool holder of this application has a cooling design for internal heat dissipation. The heat-conducting copper plate 72 and the fixed copper plate 73 conduct heat to the water supply pipe 6. The micro water pump 9 operates, and the cooling liquid inside the water storage ring pipe 3 circulates, carrying away part of the heat in the water supply pipe 6. In addition, the cooling fan 8 operates to accelerate the airflow inside and outside the heat dissipation shroud 2, thereby achieving air cooling.
