Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cooling technology and relates to a nozzle device. Background Technology
[0002] During machining, friction between the cutting tool and the workpiece releases a significant amount of heat, which not only reduces tool life but can also cause deformation of thin-walled workpieces. To mitigate this, traditional cast-type cutting fluids are typically used for cooling. However, the cost of recycling and treating waste fluids is high, and the environmental pollution risk is substantial. Low-temperature cold air green machining technology, using compressed air cooling (typically reaching -60°C), effectively reduces tool temperature and wear, achieving green manufacturing. Currently, there are two main methods for transmitting compressed air to the tool tip: the first is to directly transmit compressed air to the tool tip through the machine tool's internal cooling channels, but this method requires high-performance machine tools; the second is to directly deliver compressed gas to the tool tip through external pipelines and nozzles, a more flexible and easier-to-implement method.
[0003] The cooling effect of compressed air depends on the distance between the nozzle and the blade tip. To ensure the cooling effect, the nozzle outlet and the spray angle need to be as close as possible to the blade tip. However, traditional plastic nozzles are easily damaged by iron filings and cannot meet the requirements. Ordinary metal nozzles are prone to icing on the nozzle surface due to the high thermal conductivity of metal, which renders them unusable. In addition, conventional nozzles have a high gas flow rate and loud noise during use because the internal pipeline is directly connected to the outside atmosphere, which is not user-friendly. At the same time, the temperature sensor of cold air jet machine is mostly located at the compressor outlet. The low-temperature airflow is transported over a long distance through the pipeline to the nozzle, and there is no effective means to monitor its temperature change. Summary of the Invention

[0039] The partition 1.2 is disposed on one end of the nozzle body 1.1, and a central hole communicating with the channel is provided in the center of the partition 1.2, and multiple sets of air holes are arranged in a circumferential array along the central hole; each set of air holes has multiple air holes arranged sequentially and spaced apart from the central hole to the periphery of the partition 1.2, and each air hole is a tapered hole structure that increases in size from the direction away from the nozzle body 1.1 to the direction closer to the nozzle body 1.1, so as to effectively reduce the cold air flow rate and achieve a preliminary noise reduction effect;
[0040] The nozzle 3 is provided with a third expansion chamber 3.1 and a nozzle 3.2 that are interconnected. The third expansion chamber 3.1 is interconnected with the central air passage.
[0041] The cold air delivered through the external cold air duct is delivered to the first expansion chamber 1.3 through the air holes of the partition 1.2. The spiral structure of the first expansion chamber 1.3 further slows down the flow rate of the cold air.
[0042] The cold air from the first expansion chamber 1.3 is delivered from bottom to top (i.e. from near the nozzle 3 to near the partition 1.2) through the rotary pressurizing duct 1.4, so as to increase the pressure of the gas through the narrower rotary pressurizing duct 1.4 compared to the first expansion chamber 1.3 and further slow down the gas flow rate through the rotary structure.
[0043] After passing through the rotary pressurized air duct 1.4, the cold air enters the second expansion chamber 1.5 to further slow down the gas flow rate in order to meet the noise reduction requirements.
[0044] The cold air passing through the second expansion chamber 1.5 is output through nozzle 3.
[0045] Preferably, the first structural layer and the second structural layer are fixedly connected to each other, and the rotary booster airway 1.4 is provided with two sets of rotary booster airways 1.4 symmetrically arranged along the central airway. The two ends of each set of rotary booster airways 1.4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the central airway.

[0051] Preferably, the working principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0052] The temperature probe 2 measures the cold air outlet temperature at the second expansion chamber 1.5 through the reserved interface 1.6. If the measured temperature differs from the set outlet temperature of the low-temperature cold air equipment by more than ±1℃ and less than ±5℃, the data is fed back to the equipment for automatic adjustment. If the measured temperature differs from the set outlet temperature of the low-temperature cold air equipment by more than ±5℃, the equipment alarms. The alarm is lifted after professional personnel have eliminated the factors that cause the excessive temperature deviation due to equipment malfunction. The monitoring deviation value can also be adjusted according to the length of the low-temperature airflow delivery pipeline.
[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
