[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0048] During the use of a numerical control machine tool, coolant is required to continuously cool the workpiece being machined to prevent overheating between the tool tip and the workpiece. After the coolant of the numerical control machine tool is sprayed out, it will be mixed with the workpiece debris. Before recycling, it is generally discharged mixed with the debris and filtered through a filtering device before being recycled. However, most of the existing filtering devices use filter meshes for filtering. During the long-term operation of the numerical control machine tool, the filter mesh will gradually become blocked, resulting in a reduction in the filtering effect, which in turn affects the circulation of the coolant. It is necessary to stop the machine to clean the filter mesh or replace the filter mesh, which affects the work efficiency.

[0049] To solve the above technical problems, in at least one embodiment, a coolant filtering device for a numerical control machine tool is provided, including: a filter tank 6, inside which a filtering mechanism 3 is provided and is adapted to filter the coolant; and a cleaning mechanism 1, provided on one side of the filtering mechanism 3 and adapted to clean the filtering mechanism 3 during the process of the filtering mechanism 3 filtering the coolant.

[0050] In this embodiment, by providing the cleaning mechanism 1, when the motor 10 is started, during the process of the filtering mechanism 3 filtering the mixed liquid of the coolant and debris introduced into the filter tank 6, the cleaning mechanism 1 continuously generates bubbles, which are discharged upward from below the filtering mechanism 3, thereby cleaning the debris intercepted above the filtering mechanism 3, so that the surface of the filtering mechanism 3 is always unobstructed and does not affect the filtering.

[0051] In some embodiments, for the filter tank 6, during the operation of the numerical control machine tool, the water inlet pipe 4 at the upper end of the outer wall of the filter tank 6 is connected to the coolant drain port of the numerical control machine tool. The water inlet valve 40 is opened, and the coolant mixed with debris is introduced into the filter tank 6 through the water inlet pipe 4 and falls on the upper end surface of the filter plate 30. Filtration is carried out through the filter element 31 on the upper end surface of the filter plate 30. The debris is intercepted on the upper end surface of the filter plate 30, while the coolant directly passes through the filter plate 30 to complete the filtration. The water outlet valve 50 is opened, and the coolant is discharged through the water outlet pipe 5 at the bottom of the filter tank 6 and re-introduced into the numerical control machine tool.

[0052] In some embodiments, during the filtration of the cooling liquid, the motor 10 is started, and its output end drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate. As Figure 3 shown, the piston member 15 is in threaded engagement with the rotating shaft 11, and the slider on the outer side of the piston member 15 is slidably connected to the chute 13 formed on the inner wall of the sleeve 12. Therefore, the rotation of the rotating shaft 11 drives the piston member 15 to move upward along the axis of the rotating shaft 11, squeezing the air in the sleeve 12, introducing it into the trachea 16 through one end connected to the sleeve 12, and discharging it from the other end of the trachea 16. The re-discharged gas moves upward in the filter tank 6 and is discharged upward from below the filter plate 30, cleaning the debris remaining on the filter element 31 on the upper end surface of the filter plate 30, so that the debris is re-suspended in the filter tank 6, avoiding excessive debris clogging the filter element 31 due to long-term filtration.

[0053] In some embodiments, to assist the rapid filtration of the coolant, the motor 10 is controlled to rotate forward and backward intermittently. When the motor 10 rotates forward, the movement state of the piston member 15 is as described above, and the trachea valve 161 provided on the trachea 16 is a one-way valve. When the piston member 15 moves upward a certain distance (this distance can be set in advance by the operator), the motor 10 is started to rotate backward. At this time, the piston member 15 moves downward, and the return spring assists the piston member 15 to reset. Moreover, the one-way valve provided at the top of the sleeve 12 is opened, and air is re-introduced into the sleeve 12 for the next use. As the rotating shaft 11 rotates backward, it drives the stirring paddle 22 connected to it through the overrunning clutch 21 to rotate. The stirring paddle 22 rotates below the interior of the filter tank 6, causing the coolant in the filter tank 6 to form a spiral shape, thereby enabling the coolant to quickly pass through the filter plate 30 for filtration and improving the working efficiency.

[0054] In summary, by providing a cleaning mechanism, during the process of the filtration mechanism filtering the mixed liquid of the coolant and debris introduced into the filter tank by starting the motor, the cleaning mechanism continuously generates bubbles and discharges them upward from below the filtration mechanism, thereby cleaning the debris intercepted above the filtration mechanism and keeping the surface of the filtration mechanism always unobstructed, so as to achieve long-term filtration in a non-stop state.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

The technical scope of the present utility model is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
