Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of water tank technology for engraving machines, and in particular to a filter water tank with a debris collection function. Background Technology
[0002] A CNC engraving machine is a type of CNC machine tool. Metal CNC engraving machines can perform non-contact cutting and drilling on metal or non-metal sheets and pipes, and are particularly suitable for laser cutting of materials such as stainless steel plates, iron plates, silicon wafers, ceramic sheets, titanium alloys, epoxy resin, A3 steel, and diamond.
[0003] In existing technologies, the cutting process of CNC engraving machines mostly requires the spraying of cutting fluid onto the machining area for cooling, lubrication, and cleaning. The cutting fluid is usually stored in a water tank and circulated by a water pump.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, during machining, metal filings can mix into the cutting fluid, easily clogging the water pump and affecting the cutting fluid's effectiveness. For safe recycling, the cutting fluid must be filtered to separate the cutting fluid from the metal filings. Currently, most water tanks are unable to filter out the metal filings, thus requiring improvement. Utility Model Content
[0005] To facilitate the filtration and collection of chips, this application provides a filter water tank with chip collection function.
[0006] The filtered water tank with debris collection function provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A filter tank with debris collection function includes a tank body, a filter drawer, and a filter screen. The tank body has a liquid storage cavity for storing cutting fluid. The liquid storage cavity is divided into several compartments, each of which is equipped with a filter drawer. The filter screen is connected to the filter drawer and is used to filter cutting chips. The filter drawer is used to collect cutting chips. The tank body has a return port that communicates with one of the compartments and is used to allow cutting fluid to return to the tank body.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, during the production process, the cutting fluid flows back into the main body of the water tank through the return port. The cutting fluid is filtered by the filter screen, causing the cutting chips to be trapped on the filter drawer. Workers can then pull the filter drawer out of the compartment and clean the cutting chips. The filtered cutting fluid can be reused. The entire process facilitates the filtration and collection of cutting chips, ensuring safe production.
[0009] Preferably, it also includes a pressure plate, which is disposed on the edge of the filter screen and is used to press the filter screen tightly onto the filter drawer.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure plate can press the filter screen firmly onto the filter drawer, reducing the possibility of the filter screen falling off.
[0011] Preferably, the pressure plate is detachably connected to the filter drawer, and the pressure plate is locked in place by fasteners.
[0012] After prolonged use, the filter screen will accumulate a significant amount of shavings, which can impede the flow of cutting fluid. In this case, the pressure plate can be removed from the filter drawer to allow the filter screen to be taken out and cleaned separately. After cleaning, the filter screen should be reinstalled back into the filter drawer.
[0013] Preferably, it also includes a handle, which is disposed on the filter drawer.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, users can apply force by holding the handle to pull out the entire filter drawer.
[0015] Preferably, it also includes a water pump, with each of the compartments arranged sequentially along the flow direction of the cutting fluid, and the return port located at the input end of the liquid storage cavity; the water pump is located at the output end of the liquid storage cavity and is used to pump the filtered cutting fluid.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the cutting fluid, after filtration, can be sprayed onto the processing device to cool the workpiece under the action of a water pump.
[0017] Preferably, it also includes a liquid level sensor, which is disposed inside the liquid storage cavity.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the cutting fluid will be continuously consumed during the production process. The liquid level sensor can sense the liquid level in the storage cavity. When the cutting fluid level is low, it can transmit a corresponding signal to remind the staff to replenish the cutting fluid.
[0019] Preferably, the outer surface of the water tank body is coated with a paint layer.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the paint layer can improve the aesthetics of the outer surface of the water tank body and enhance the visual effect.
[0021] Preferably, the bottom of the water tank body is rotatably connected to several rollers.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of rollers makes it easier for staff to move the main body of the water tank to a suitable location for work.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] (1) By setting up a filter drawer and a filter screen, during the production process, the cutting fluid flows back into the main body of the water tank through the return port. The cutting fluid is filtered by the filter screen, so that the chips are trapped on the filter drawer. The operator can pull the filter drawer out of the compartment and then clean the chips. The filtered cutting fluid can be recycled, which makes it convenient to filter and collect the chips.
[0025] (2) By setting up a pressure plate and fasteners, the pressure plate and fasteners fix the filter screen on the filter drawer, making the filter screen removable and convenient for staff to clean the filter screen.
[0026] (3) By setting rollers, the presence of rollers can make it easier for staff to move the main body of the water tank to a suitable place for work, thus improving its practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples shown in this application, as well as the features of those embodiments or examples.
[0035] This application discloses a filtered water tank with debris collection function. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The filter tank includes a tank body 1, a filter drawer 2, and a filter screen 3. The tank body 1 has a liquid storage cavity 5 for storing cutting fluid. The liquid storage cavity 5 is divided into several compartments; in this embodiment, there are four compartments arranged sequentially along the flow direction of the cutting fluid. Each compartment is equipped with a filter drawer 2. The filter screen 3 is detachably installed on the filter drawer 2 for filtering chips from the cutting fluid, and the filter drawer 2 is used to collect the chips. A return port 4 is provided on the tank body 1, located at the input end of the liquid storage cavity 5 and connected to one of the compartments. The return port 4 allows the cutting fluid to flow back into the tank body 1.
[0036] During production, the cutting fluid flows back into the main body of the water tank 1 through the return port 4. The cutting fluid is filtered by the filter screen 3, causing the cutting chips to be trapped on the filter drawer 2. Workers can pull the filter drawer 2 out of the compartment and clean the cutting chips. The filtered cutting fluid can then be reused. The entire process facilitates the filtration and collection of cutting chips, ensuring safe production.
[0037] Specifically, the filter screen 3 is pressed onto the filter drawer 2 by a pressure plate 6, which presses against the periphery of the filter screen 3. In this embodiment, the pressure plate 6 is locked onto the filter drawer 2 by fasteners, such as bolts or screws, which are removable objects. After prolonged use, a considerable amount of shavings will accumulate on the filter screen 3, which can easily affect the flow of cutting fluid. At this time, the fasteners can be loosened to remove the pressure plate 6 from the filter drawer 2, allowing the filter screen 3 to be removed for separate cleaning. After cleaning, the filter screen 3 can be reinstalled back into the filter drawer 2. The filter drawer 2 is also equipped with a handle 7 for gripping. The user can apply force by gripping the handle 7 to pull out the entire filter drawer 2.
[0038] In some embodiments, a water pump 8 is also installed on the main body 1 of the water tank. The water pump 8 is located at the output end of the liquid storage cavity 5 and is used to pump the filtered cutting fluid. After filtration, the cutting fluid can be sprayed onto the machining device to cool the workpiece under the action of the water pump 8. A liquid level sensor 9 is also installed in the liquid storage cavity 5 to sense the liquid level of the cutting fluid in the liquid storage cavity 5. Since the cutting fluid is continuously consumed during the production process, when the liquid level of the cutting fluid is low, a corresponding signal can be transmitted to remind the operator to replenish the cutting fluid to ensure normal production.
[0039] In addition, the outer surface of the water tank body 1 is coated with a paint layer. The paint layer can improve the aesthetics of the outer surface of the water tank body 1 and enhance its visual effect. Several rollers 10 are also rotatably connected to the bottom of the water tank body 1, and each roller 10 is distributed at the corner of the water tank body 1. The presence of the rollers 10 makes it convenient for workers to move the water tank body 1 to a suitable location for work, thus improving its practicality.
[0040] The implementation principle of a filter water tank with a chip collection function according to this application embodiment is as follows: During the production process, the cutting fluid flows back into the water tank body 1 through the return port 4. The cutting fluid is filtered by the filter screen 3, causing the chips to be trapped on the filter drawer 2. Workers can pull the filter drawer 2 out of the compartment and clean the chips. The filtered cutting fluid can then be transported to the processing device by the water pump 8 for continued recycling. The entire process facilitates chip filtration and collection, ensuring safe production.
[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
