Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of machining centers, and particularly relates to a cooling device for a vertical machining center. Background Technique
[0002] A numerically controlled milling machine is also called a milling machine. A numerically controlled milling machine is an automatic processing device developed on the basis of a general milling machine. The processing technologies of the two are basically the same, and the structures are also somewhat similar. Numerically controlled milling machines are divided into two categories: those without a tool magazine and those with a tool magazine. Among them, the numerically controlled milling machine with a tool magazine is also called a machining center.
[0003] It is found that the publication (announcement) number: CN209036118U discloses a cooling device for a machining center. The technical solution disclosed in this technology is "including a base, the top of the base is bolted with a machining box body, the top of the base is bolted with a water storage tank, and the inside of the water storage tank is filled with a coolant. The bottom of the inner wall of the water storage tank is bolted with a temperature sensor. The coolant is sprayed to the machining position through a metal universal pipe, and the recycling of the coolant can be realized, and the technical effect of saving resources can be achieved".
[0004] Although this design can spray the coolant to the machining position through the metal universal pipe and realize the recycling of the coolant to save resources, however, the spray head of the above device cannot flexibly change the direction, making it impossible to accurately cover the entire machining area, especially the workpiece parts located in difficult-to-reach positions. This may cause some areas not to be sufficiently cooled, thereby affecting the machining quality and efficiency. If the spray head is not easy to adjust, the operator needs to frequently move the workpiece or adjust the position of the machine tool so that the spray head can cover the target area. This not only increases the operation difficulty and complexity but also may affect the machining accuracy and efficiency. Content of the Utility Model

For complex workpieces and irregular surface shapes, such a design can ensure that every part that needs to be cooled can be fully sprayed, solving the problem that the water spray head of the device cannot flexibly change its direction, making it unable to accurately cover the entire machining area, especially those parts of the workpiece located in hard-to-reach positions, which may result in insufficient cooling in some areas, thus affecting the machining quality and efficiency. If the water spray head is not easy to adjust, the operator needs to frequently move the workpiece or adjust the position of the machine tool so that the water spray head can cover the target area, which not only increases the operation difficulty and complexity but also may affect the machining accuracy and efficiency.

[0036] As Figure 1 shown;
[0037] A cooling device for a vertical machining center includes a mounting seat 1.
[0038] In this implementation: Although the design can spray coolant onto the machining position through a metal universal pipe, achieving the recycling of coolant and saving resources, the spray head of the above device cannot flexibly change its direction, making it impossible to accurately cover the entire machining area, especially the workpiece parts located in hard-to-reach positions. This may result in insufficient cooling in some areas, affecting the machining quality and efficiency. If the spray head is not easy to adjust, the operator may need to frequently move the workpiece or adjust the position of the machine tool to enable the spray head to cover the target area. This not only increases the operation difficulty and complexity but also may affect the machining accuracy and efficiency. To solve this technical problem, a cooling component 2 is added on this basis.
[0039] Furthermore:
[0040] As Figures 1 to 5 shown:
[0041] Combined with the above content: The liquid barrel 21 is installed on the upper surface of the mounting seat 1. The connecting pipe 22 is connected to the outer side of the end of the liquid barrel 21. The first connecting pipe 23 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the end of the mounting seat 1. The fixed sleeve 24 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting seat 1. The first spray pipe 25 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the end of the first connecting pipe 23. A first motor 26 is installed on the outer side of the end of the first spray pipe 25. A first gear 27 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the main shaft of the first motor 26. A second spray pipe 28 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the end of the first spray pipe 25. A first toothed ring 29 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the end of the second spray pipe 28. The first gear 27 is meshed with the first toothed ring 29. A third spray pipe 212 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the end of the second spray pipe 28. A second motor 210 is installed on the outer surface of the second spray pipe 28. A second gear 211 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the main shaft of the second motor 210. A second toothed ring 213 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the end of the third spray pipe 212. The second gear 211 is meshed with the second toothed ring 213. A third motor 214 is installed on the outer side of the end of the third spray pipe 212. A third gear 215 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the main shaft of the third motor 214. A fourth spray pipe 216 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the end of the third spray pipe 212. A third toothed ring 217 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the end of the fourth spray pipe 216. The third gear 215 is meshed with the third toothed ring 217.
[0042] In this implementation: When the user uses this device, the device can be sleeved above the device to be cooled through the fixing sleeve 24. At this time, the user can start the liquid bucket 21, and the coolant inside the liquid bucket 21 is transported to the inside of the first connecting pipe 23 through the connecting pipe 22. When the user needs to adjust the spraying angle, the user can start the first motor 26, and then drive the first toothed ring 29 meshed with the first motor 26 to rotate through the first motor 26. Then, drive the second spray pipe 28 to rotate through the first toothed ring 29, which can change the spraying direction to a certain extent. At the same time, the user can start the second motor 210, and the second motor 210 drives the second gear 211 outside its main shaft to rotate. Then, drive the second toothed ring 213 meshed with the second gear 211 to rotate through the second gear 211. Then, the third spray pipe 212 can be driven to rotate through the second toothed ring 213, and the spraying direction can be changed again. The user can start the third motor 214, and the third motor 214 drives the third gear 215 outside its end to rotate. Then, drive the third toothed ring 217 meshed with the third gear 215 to rotate through the third gear 215. Then, drive the fourth spray pipe 216 to rotate through the third toothed ring 217, and the spraying direction of the device can be started again. By changing the angles of the second spray pipe 28, the third spray pipe 212, and the fourth spray pipe 216, the spraying direction of the device can be changed in all directions. The all-round rotation means that the device can cover a larger processing area. For complex workpieces and irregular surface shapes, such a design can ensure that every part that needs to be cooled can be fully sprayed. Through the spraying direction of the device, the spraying angle of the cooling water can be adjusted in real time to adapt to different processing requirements and workpiece shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of processing. The all-round rotation and change of the spraying angle are realized through the first motor 26, the second motor 210, and the third motor 214, making the operation more convenient and fast, and easy to realize automatic control. The precise control of the spraying direction can reduce unnecessary energy waste, such as reducing the waste of coolant and the increase in energy consumption caused by excessive spraying.
[0043] Furthermore:
[0044] In an optional embodiment, a fifth nozzle 218 is fixedly connected to the outside of the end of the fourth spray pipe 216, and the fifth nozzle 218 is of a rectangular structure.
[0045] In this implementation: The conical fifth nozzle 218 enables the fifth nozzle 218 to form a relatively narrow and concentrated spray stream, which helps to spray the coolant more directly and efficiently onto the surface of the workpiece to be cooled. Compared with traditional fan-shaped or circular structures, the conical fifth nozzle 218 has a more concentrated spraying range and can provide higher cooling efficiency in a smaller area. This precise cooling helps to reduce workpiece deformation or thermal stress problems caused by uneven temperature, thereby improving the processing quality.
[0046] Furthermore:
[0047] In an alternative embodiment, a water spraying groove 219 is formed inside the end of the fifth spray head 218.
[0048] In this embodiment: The rectangular water spraying groove 219 enables the water outlet section to more effectively control the water flow distribution, ensuring that the sprayed water mist or water flow is evenly distributed within the rectangular area. This is crucial for ensuring uniform cooling of the workpiece surface. The improvement of the spraying uniformity can reduce risks such as workpiece deformation or cracking caused by uneven cooling. In a machining center, this helps to improve the qualified rate of products and reduce the rejection rate.
[0049] Working principle: When the user uses this device, the device can be sleeved above the device to be cooled through the fixed sleeve 24. At this time, the user can start the liquid bucket 21, and the coolant inside the liquid bucket 21 is transported to the inside of the first connecting pipe 23 through the connecting pipe 22. When the user needs to adjust the spraying angle, the user can start the first motor 26, and then drive the first toothed ring 29 meshed with the first motor 26 to rotate through the first motor 26. Then, drive the second spray pipe 28 to rotate through the first toothed ring 29, which can change the spraying direction to a certain extent. At the same time, the user can start the second motor 210, and the second motor 210 drives the second gear 211 outside its main shaft to rotate. Then, drive the second toothed ring 213 meshed with the second gear 211 to rotate through the second gear 211. Then, the third spray pipe 212 can be driven to rotate through the second toothed ring 213, and the spraying direction can be changed again. The user can start the third motor 214, and the third motor 214 drives the third gear 215 outside its end to rotate. Then, drive the third toothed ring 217 meshed with the third gear 215 to rotate through the third gear 215. Then, drive the fourth spray pipe 216 to rotate through the third toothed ring 217, and the spraying direction of the device can be changed again. By changing the angles of the second spray pipe 28, the third spray pipe 212 and the fourth spray pipe 216, the spraying direction of the device can be changed in all directions. The all-round rotation means that the device can cover a larger processing area. For complex workpieces and irregular surface shapes, such a design can ensure that every part that needs to be cooled can be fully sprayed. Through the spraying direction of the device, the spraying angle of the cooling water can be adjusted in real time to adapt to different processing requirements and workpiece shapes, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of processing. The all-round rotation and change of the spraying angle are realized through the first motor 26, the second motor 210 and the third motor 214, making the operation more convenient and fast, and easy to realize automatic control. The precise control of the spraying direction can reduce unnecessary energy waste, such as reducing the waste of coolant and the increase of energy consumption caused by excessive spraying. The conical structure of the fifth nozzle 218 enables the fifth nozzle 218 to form a narrower and more concentrated spray flow, which helps to spray the coolant more directly and efficiently onto the surface of the workpiece to be cooled. Compared with the traditional fan-shaped or circular structure, the conical fifth nozzle 218 has a more concentrated spraying range and can provide higher cooling efficiency in a smaller area.
