[0030] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an aerosol lubrication balanced cooling system includes a coolant tank 1, a liquid outlet pipe 2, a cooling sprayer 3 and a nozzle 4. A coolant filling port 11 and an air inlet are provided on the top of the coolant tank 1. The air inlet is connected to an external compressed air pipeline. The liquid outlet pipe 2 is installed on the coolant tank 1. The liquid inlet of the liquid outlet pipe 2 is located in the lower part of the coolant tank 1, and the liquid outlet is located at the top of the coolant tank 1; the liquid outlet of the liquid outlet pipe 2 is connected to the liquid inlet of the cooling sprayer 3, the air inlet of the cooling sprayer 3 is connected to the external compressed air pipeline, the gas-liquid outlet of the cooling sprayer 3 is connected to the nozzle 4, and the nozzle 4 is installed on the cutting machine to spray the aerosol toward the cutting area.
[0032] The aerosol lubrication balanced cooling system described in the utility model controls the flow of coolant in the coolant tank by compressed air, and transports the coolant to the cooling sprayer through the liquid outlet pipe. The cooling sprayer atomizes the coolant and sprays it toward the cutting area through the nozzle, so as to cool the cutting area quickly and evenly, saving costs. Moreover, after easily oxidized materials such as aluminum metal are cooled by spraying, there is no need to clean them, thereby improving the cooling efficiency.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a liquid level meter 5 is further included, which includes a junction box 51, a sensing tube 52 and a float 53. The junction box 51 is installed on the top of the coolant tank 1, and the lower end of the junction box 51 is connected to the sensing tube 52 located in the coolant tank 1. The float 53 that floats up and down with the change of the liquid level is installed on the sensing tube 52.
[0034] In actual use, the liquid level gauge 5 is connected to the coolant tank 1 via a flange. A float 53 is mounted on a sensing conduit 52 and floats up and down as the liquid level in the coolant tank 1 changes. The sensing conduit 52 converts the position change of the float 53 into a signal. The junction box 51 transmits the signal from the sensing conduit 52 to an external control system for monitoring the liquid level in the coolant tank 1. This ensures that the system issues a warning when the liquid level is too low, thus preventing equipment damage or reduced efficiency due to insufficient coolant.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a safety valve 6 is installed on the top of the coolant tank 1 .
[0036] In actual use, the coolant tank 1 is exhausted through the safety valve 6 to prevent the equipment from being damaged due to overpressure, ensure the safety of the operator, and maintain the stability and reliability of the system.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an air intake pipe 12 is connected to the air inlet of the coolant tank 1 , a pressure regulating valve 13 and an air intake valve 14 are sequentially provided on the air intake pipe 12 along the air intake direction, and a pressure gauge 15 is installed on the pressure regulating valve 13 .
[0038] In actual use, the pressure regulating valve 13 is used to adjust the pressure of the compressed air entering the coolant tank 1, accurately controlling the pressure of the compressed air to ensure that the system can operate stably under different working conditions. The air inlet valve 14 is used to control the on and off of the compressed air, opening or closing the air source as needed to control the flow of the coolant. The pressure gauge 15 is installed on the pressure regulating valve 13 and is used to monitor the pressure of the compressed air supplied to the coolant tank 1 in real time, so that the operator can intuitively understand the pressure status in the system and adjust the pressure regulating valve 13 in time to maintain the appropriate working pressure to avoid damage to the system caused by excessive or low pressure. By precisely controlling the flow of coolant and compressed air, the system can adapt to different working conditions, improve cutting efficiency and quality, while reducing equipment wear and extending its service life.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a filter screen is provided in the coolant filling port 11 , and a sealing cover 16 is provided at the coolant filling port 11 .
[0040] In actual use, when coolant is added through coolant filling port 11, the filter can effectively intercept any impurities, such as dust, rust, or other particulate matter, ensuring that the coolant entering coolant tank 1 is clean. This protects internal system components, such as valves and nozzles, from wear and clogging due to particulate matter, extending the service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs. Sealing cap 16 is used to keep the coolant filling port 11 sealed when not in use, preventing the ingress of external contaminants. It also prevents evaporation or leakage of coolant, reducing coolant loss and saving costs.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sewage outlet 17 is provided at the bottom of the coolant tank 1 , and a support frame 18 is installed at the bottom of the coolant tank 1 .
[0042] In actual use, drain port 17 is primarily used to drain sediment and contaminants from the bottom of coolant tank 1. During coolant use, impurities, metal particles, or other contaminants may accumulate at the bottom of the tank. Drain port 17 conveniently removes these substances, keeping the coolant clean. Support frame 18 supports coolant tank 1 and allows it to be mounted on the ground, a platform, or other equipment.
[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is at least one liquid outlet pipe 2.
[0044] In actual use, the system can adjust the coolant output and spray position according to different cutting tools and material types. Multiple outlet pipes 2 can be installed to form a multi-channel coolant output pipeline, each connected to a cooling sprayer 3. This allows multiple nozzles 4 to spray simultaneously, ensuring that the coolant is evenly distributed to all parts of the cutting area, cooling the cutting area more quickly and evenly, and improving cooling efficiency. The design of multiple outlet pipes 2 allows each cooling sprayer 3 and nozzle 4 to be maintained independently without stopping the entire system.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cooling sprayer 3 is provided with a liquid volume regulating valve 31 and a gas volume regulating valve 32 .
[0046] In actual use, the liquid quantity regulating valve 31 is used to adjust the flow rate of the coolant and control the amount of coolant passing through the cooling sprayer 3; by adjusting the liquid quantity regulating valve 31, the supply amount of the coolant can be adjusted according to the specific needs of the cutting operation, thereby achieving a precise cooling effect, improving cooling efficiency, and reducing coolant waste.
[0047] The air flow control valve 32 is used to adjust the flow of compressed air entering the cooling sprayer 3, controlling the proportion and atomization effect of the mist. By adjusting the air flow control valve 32, the atomization effect of the mist can be optimized, ensuring that the mist can evenly and effectively cover the cutting area, improving cooling efficiency and cutting quality.
[0048] The provision of the liquid quantity regulating valve 31 and the gas quantity regulating valve 32 enables the system to flexibly adjust the supply amount of the coolant and the compressed air according to the actual working conditions, thereby achieving the best cooling effect.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cooling sprayer 3 is connected to the nozzle 4 via a hose 33 .
[0050] In actual use, the hose 33 provides a flexible connection between the cooling sprayer 3 and the nozzle 4, making it easier to position and adjust the nozzle 4 to the cutting area. The hose 33 can absorb vibrations generated by the operation of the equipment and reduce the impact of vibrations on the nozzle 4 and the cutting machine.
[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a solenoid valve is respectively provided at the liquid inlet and the air inlet of the cooling sprayer 3 .
[0052] In actual use, the cooling sprayer 3 has a solenoid valve installed at its liquid inlet 34 and air inlet 35. These solenoid valves precisely control the flow of coolant and compressed air, enabling precise operation of the cooling sprayer 3. This precise control ensures that the supply of coolant and compressed air matches the needs of the cutting operation, improving cooling efficiency and cutting quality.
[0053] Working principle of the air mist lubrication balanced cooling system:
[0054] Add coolant to the coolant tank 1 from the coolant filling port 11, and cover the sealing cover 16 of the coolant filling port after filling; open the air inlet valve 14, and fill the coolant tank 1 with compressed air through the air inlet pipe 12, adjust the pressure regulating valve 13 to adjust the air pressure to the required level, and under the action of compressed air, the coolant is transported from the bottom of the coolant tank 1 through the liquid inlet of the liquid outlet pipe 2 to the cooling sprayer 3; the air inlet of the cooling sprayer 3 is connected to the compressed air, and the two solenoid valves of the cooling sprayer 3 are used to control the opening of the gas and liquid lines, and the nozzle 4 starts to spray the cutting area, and the spray volume of the nozzle 4 is controlled by manually adjusting the liquid volume regulating valve 31 and the gas volume regulating valve 32.
[0055] When the liquid level in the coolant tank 1 is too low, the level gauge 5 will sound a warning and the coolant needs to be added. Before opening the sealing cover 16 of the coolant filling port, the air inlet valve 14 must be closed and the safety valve 6 must be lifted upwards to drain the compressed air from the coolant tank 1 before opening it.
[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
