Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball mills, in particular to a slag separation plate of a machine tool with a chip sedimentation tank. Background Art

[0002] In various types of machining, in order to prevent problems such as tool sticking caused by friction and heat between the tool and the workpiece, cutting fluid is often needed to cool the workpiece and tool and flush away the waste chips to ensure the quality of the finished product. After flushing the workpiece and tool, the cutting fluid is generally collected in the chip trough under the machine tool and filtered through the filter plate for reuse. However, the filtering capacity of the existing filter plate is limited, and some fine waste chips cannot be filtered, which can easily cause damage to the water pump and affect the workpiece surface. Therefore, a new type of slag separator is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0003] Other features and advantages of the present invention will be described in the following description, and in part will become apparent from the description, or will be understood by practicing the present invention. The purpose and other advantages of the present invention can be achieved and obtained through the structures specifically pointed out in the description and other drawings.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a slag separator for a machine tool with a chip sedimentation tank.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is: a slag separator for a machine tool with a chip sedimentation tank, comprising a chip trough and a water tank, a sedimentation tank is arranged between the chip trough and the water tank, the chip trough covers the sedimentation tank, the chip trough has an opening connected to the sedimentation tank, a filter plate is arranged at the opening, a drain outlet is provided on the side wall of the sedimentation tank, the position of the drain outlet is away from the bottom of the sedimentation tank, and the water tank has a water inlet at a position aligned with the drain outlet.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the chip trough receives the cutting fluid containing machining chips discharged from the machine tool, and discharges the cutting fluid into the sedimentation tank below through the mesh of the filter plate one, while the chips larger than the mesh of the filter plate one are retained in the chip trough. The cutting fluid containing fine chips is left to stand with the liquid in the sedimentation tank, so that the fine chips settle at the bottom of the sedimentation tank, and then the relatively clean cutting fluid smoothly overflows into the water tank. This increases the service life of the cutting fluid and reduces the cleaning cycle of the water tank. Normally, only the chip trough and the sedimentation tank need to be cleaned, which reduces the large cleaning workload. At the same time, the sedimentation tank is small in size and is also convenient for manual cleaning and maintenance. The cutting fluid that flows into the water tank after sedimentation contains very few chips, which greatly reduces the failure rate of the water pump. Clean cutting fluid can also reduce defects such as scratches and bumps on the surface of the processed parts, thereby improving the processing qualification rate of the parts.

[0007] Preferably, a second filter plate is provided in the sedimentation tank, the second filter plate being located in the middle of the sedimentation tank. The second filter plate divides the space of the sedimentation tank into a water receiving area and a drainage area. The drain port is located in the drainage area, and the opening is located above the water receiving area. The utility model utilizes the second filter plate to separate the sedimentation tank into a water receiving area and a drainage area. On the one hand, it can isolate floating chips that cannot be intercepted by the chip receiving trough, while allowing heavier and smaller chips to settle for the first time. On the other hand, the second filter plate also acts as a barrier, allowing the surging cutting fluid in the water inlet area to calm down after passing through the second filter plate, thereby facilitating the sedimentation of smaller chips in the drainage area.

[0008] Preferably, a partition is provided between the filter plate 2 and the side wall of the sedimentation tank with the drain port, and the partition is provided with a communication port. The utility model utilizes the partition and the communication port to further slow down the flow of cutting fluid to the drain port, thereby facilitating the sedimentation of chips.

[0009] Preferably, the communication port is provided at the bottom of the partition. The utility model can set the communication port at the bottom of the partition so that the cutting fluid will flow to the bottom of the sedimentation tank when flowing through the partition, thereby driving the fine chips to the bottom of the sedimentation tank, achieving the effect of accelerating sedimentation.

[0010] Preferably, a water guide plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the sedimentation tank, and the water guide plate is arranged around the edge of the water inlet.

[0011] The utility model utilizes the water guide plate to guide the cutting fluid discharged from the water outlet to the water receiving port.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of limit plates are fixedly connected to the outside of the sedimentation tank, and the limit plates are respectively arranged on the back and both sides of the sedimentation tank. The utility model uses the limit plates to locate the position of the chip receiving groove. When the outer wall of the chip receiving groove is in contact with each limit plate, the filter plate 1 can be aligned with the water receiving area.

[0013] Preferably, the limit plates on both sides of the sedimentation tank are provided with inclined plates. The utility model utilizes the inclined plates to guide the chip chute when it is placed on the sedimentation tank, so that it can easily slide between the limit plates on both sides under the guidance of the inclined plates.

[0014] Preferably, a support plate is provided at the upper edge of the sedimentation tank. The utility model utilizes the support plate to better support the chip groove.

[0015] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. By setting up a sedimentation tank below the chip trough and setting a drain port at a high position to achieve overflow drainage, the fine chips that cannot be filtered by the filter plate can be settled in the sedimentation tank, making the cutting fluid entering the water tank cleaner, thereby reducing the cleaning cycle of the water tank, reducing the damage rate of the water pump, and reducing scratches, bumps and other defects on the surface of the processed parts.

[0017] 2. The second filter plate can be used to separate the sedimentation tank into a water inlet area and a drainage area. On the one hand, it can isolate floating chips that cannot be intercepted by the chip trough, while allowing heavier and smaller chips to settle first. On the other hand, the second filter plate also acts as a barrier, allowing the surging cutting fluid in the water inlet area to calm down after passing through the second filter plate, thereby facilitating the sedimentation of smaller chips in the drainage area.

[0018] It is to be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the disclosure.

[0019] The details will become more apparent after the example is explained.

[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a slag separator for a machine tool with a chip sedimentation tank comprises a chip trough 1 and a water tank 2, a sedimentation tank 3 is arranged between the chip trough 1 and the water tank 2, the chip trough 1 covers the sedimentation tank 3, the chip trough 1 has an opening connected to the sedimentation tank 3, a filter plate 4 is arranged at the opening, a drain outlet 5 is provided on the side wall of the sedimentation tank 3, the position of the drain outlet 5 is far away from the bottom of the sedimentation tank 3, and the water tank 2 has a water inlet 6 at a position aligned with the drain outlet 5.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the chip trough 1 receives the cutting fluid containing machining chips discharged from the machine tool, and discharges the cutting fluid into the sedimentation tank 3 below through the mesh of the filter plate 4, while the chips larger than the mesh of the filter plate 4 are retained in the chip trough 1. The cutting fluid containing fine chips is left to stand with the liquid in the sedimentation tank 3, so that the fine chips are settled at the bottom of the sedimentation tank 3, and then the relatively clean cutting fluid is smoothly overflowed into the water tank 2. This increases the service life of the cutting fluid and reduces the cleaning cycle of the water tank 2. Usually, only the chip trough 1 and the sedimentation tank 3 need to be cleaned, which reduces the large cleaning workload. At the same time, the sedimentation tank 3 is small in size and is also convenient for manual cleaning and maintenance. The cutting fluid that flows into the water tank 2 after sedimentation contains very few chips, which greatly reduces the failure rate of the water pump. Clean cutting fluid can also reduce defects such as scratches and bumps on the surface of the processed parts, thereby improving the processing qualification rate of the parts.

[0034] A filter plate 2 7 is provided in the sedimentation tank 3.

The filter plate 2 7 can separate the sedimentation tank 3 into the water receiving area 8 and the drainage area 9. On the one hand, it can isolate the floating chips that cannot be intercepted by the chip receiving trough 1, and at the same time, it can allow the heavier and smaller chips to settle for the first time. On the other hand, the filter plate 2 7 also acts as a barrier, allowing the surging cutting fluid in the water inlet area to calm down after passing through the filter plate 2 7, thereby facilitating the sedimentation of smaller chips in the drainage area 9.

[0035] A partition 10 is provided between the filter plate 2 7 and the side wall of the sedimentation tank 3 with the drain port 5, and the partition 10 is provided with a communication port 11. The partition 10 and the communication port 11 can further slow down the speed of the cutting fluid flowing to the drain port 5, thereby facilitating the sedimentation of the chips.

[0036] The communication port 11 is provided at the bottom of the partition 10. By arranging the communication port 11 at the bottom of the partition 10, the cutting fluid can flow to the bottom of the sedimentation tank 3 when flowing through the partition 10, thereby driving the fine chips to the bottom of the sedimentation tank 3, achieving the effect of accelerating sedimentation.

[0037] A water guide plate 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sedimentation tank 3, and the water guide plate 12 is arranged around the edge of the water inlet 6. The water guide plate 12 can guide the cutting fluid discharged from the drain port 5 to the water inlet 6.
