Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool processing technology, and in particular to a waste liquid recovery structure. Background Technology
[0002] During machine tool processing, cutting fluid is frequently used to cool and lubricate the cutting tools and workpiece. Because machining generates chips, these chips mix with the cutting fluid. Machine tools are typically equipped with chip removal carts to collect these chips. However, since the surface of the chips is coated with cutting fluid, some of the cutting fluid is discharged along with the chips during collection, resulting in some cutting fluid not being recycled, causing waste and environmental risks. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a waste fluid recovery system to improve the cutting fluid recovery rate. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, this application provides a waste liquid recovery structure that can improve the recovery rate of cutting fluid.
[0004] This application provides a waste liquid recycling structure, comprising: a recycling tank, the opening of which is located below the machining position of a machine tool; a chip conveyor, the top of which is provided with a chip collection port and the side wall of which is provided with a liquid discharge port, the height of which is greater than the height of the bottom of the recycling tank; a pipe connecting the liquid discharge port and the recycling tank; and a conveying device, one end of which extends into the recycling tank and the other end extends above the chip collection port to transport the waste chips in the recycling tank into the chip conveyor.
[0005] With the above structure, a pipe connects the drain outlet to the recovery tank, ensuring the drain outlet's height is greater than the bottom of the recovery tank. This allows the cutting fluid that enters the chip removal cart with the waste chips after the conveying device delivers them to the recovery tank, where it can be drained through the pipe into the recovery tank. This prevents the cutting fluid from being washed away with the waste chips, allowing it to return to the recovery tank for reuse. This improves the cutting fluid recovery rate.
[0006] In some embodiments, one end of the pipe is connected to the drain outlet, and the other end extends into the recovery tank through the slot.
[0007] By adopting the above structure, connecting one end of the pipe to the drain outlet and the other end extending into the recycling tank through the opening, the connection between the pipe and the recycling tank can be simplified. Simultaneously, it facilitates the separation of the pipe from the recycling tank when the mobile chip removal vehicle is collecting waste chips. This simplifies the structure and reduces operational difficulty.
[0008] In some embodiments, one end of the pipe is higher than the other end.
[0009] By adopting the above structure, and making one end of the pipe higher than the other end, it is possible to ensure that the cutting fluid located at or above the drain port in the chip removal vehicle can be discharged into the recovery tank through the drain port, thereby improving the cutting fluid recovery rate.
[0010] In some embodiments, the slot is higher than the drain outlet, and the pipe has a bend at the corresponding position of the slot.
[0011] With the above structure, when the groove opening is higher than the drain outlet, by making one end of the pipe higher than the other, the cutting fluid located at or above the drain outlet in the chip conveyor can be discharged into the recovery tank through the drain outlet using the siphon principle, thereby improving the cutting fluid recovery rate. The pipe has a bend at the corresponding position of the groove opening, which facilitates pipe layout and simplifies the connection structure between the pipe and the recovery tank.
[0012] In some embodiments, the pipe is a flexible hose.
[0013] With the above structure, by using a flexible pipe, users can easily insert the other end of the pipe into the recycling tank through the slot, or remove the other end of the pipe from the recycling tank. This reduces the difficulty of operation for users.
[0014] In some embodiments, the other end of the pipe is provided with a connecting portion, which is detachably connected to the chip conveyor.
[0015] With the above structure, the connecting part is detachably connected to the chip conveyor, allowing the other end of the pipe to be fixed to the chip conveyor. This facilitates the use of the chip conveyor to remove waste chips and prevents the pipe from obstructing the transfer process.
[0016] In some embodiments, after the connecting part is detachably connected to the chip removal vehicle, the other end of the pipe is higher than the drain outlet.
[0017] With the above structure, when the mobile chip conveyor is removing waste chips, by making the other end of the pipe higher than the drain port, residual cutting fluid inside the chip conveyor can be prevented from flowing out through the pipe. This avoids cutting fluid contamination of the workshop environment.
[0018] In some embodiments, the drain outlet is provided with a filter screen.
[0019] By using the above structure and installing a filter screen at the drain outlet, the cutting fluid can be filtered, preventing waste chips from flowing back into the recovery tank with the cutting fluid.
[0020] In some embodiments, the drain outlet is located near the bottom of the chip removal vehicle.
[0021] By adopting the above structure and placing the drain port near the bottom of the chip conveyor, the cutting fluid at the bottom of the chip conveyor can be discharged, thereby improving the cutting fluid recovery rate.
[0022] These and other aspects of this invention will become more readily apparent in the following description of several embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Below, with reference to the accompanying drawings, possible embodiments of the waste liquid recovery structure 10 in this application will be described by way of example.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the waste liquid recovery structure 10 in this application includes a recovery tank 100, a chip conveyor 200, a pipeline 300, and a conveying device 400. The opening 110 of the recovery tank 100 is located below the machining position of the machine tool 20. The chip conveyor 200 has a chip collection port 220 on its top and a liquid discharge port 230 on its side wall, the height of which is greater than the height of the bottom of the recovery tank 100. The pipeline 300 connects the liquid discharge port 230 to the recovery tank 100. One end of the conveying device 400 extends into the recovery tank 100, and the other end extends above the chip collection port 220, transporting the waste chips from the recovery tank 100 into the chip conveyor 200. Therefore, by connecting the drain port 230 to the recovery tank 100 via pipe 300, and ensuring that the height of the drain port 230 is greater than the height of the bottom of the recovery tank 100, the cutting fluid that enters the chip removal cart 200 along with the waste chips can be discharged from the drain port 230 into the recovery tank 100 via pipe 300 after the waste chips are transported by the conveying device 400. This prevents the cutting fluid from being washed away with the waste chips, allowing it to return to the recovery tank 100 for reuse. This improves the cutting fluid recovery rate.
[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, one end of the pipe 300 is connected to the drain port 230, and the other end extends into the recycling tank 100 through the slot 110. Therefore, by connecting one end of the pipe 300 to the drain port 230 and the other end extending into the recycling tank 100 through the slot 110, the connection structure between the pipe 300 and the recycling tank 100 can be simplified. Simultaneously, it facilitates the separation of the pipe 300 from the recycling tank 100 when the mobile chip removal vehicle 200 is clearing waste chips. This simplifies the structure and reduces operational difficulty.
[0033] In some embodiments, one end of the pipe 300 is higher than the other end. Therefore, by making one end of the pipe 300 higher than the other end, it is possible to ensure that the cutting fluid located at or above the drain port 230 in the chip conveyor 200 can be discharged through the drain port 230 into the recovery tank 100, thereby improving the cutting fluid recovery rate.
[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the slot opening 110 is higher than the drain outlet 230, and the pipe 300 has a bend at the corresponding position of the slot opening 110. Therefore, when the slot opening 110 is higher than the drain outlet 230, by making one end of the pipe 300 higher than the other, the cutting fluid located at or above the drain outlet 230 in the chip conveyor 200 can be discharged into the recovery tank 100 through the drain outlet 230 via the siphon principle, thereby improving the cutting fluid recovery rate. The bend in the pipe 300 at the corresponding position of the slot opening 110 facilitates the layout of the pipe 300 and simplifies the connection structure between the pipe 300 and the recovery tank 100.
[0035] In some embodiments, the pipe 300 is a flexible hose. This allows the user to easily insert the other end of the pipe 300 into the recycling tank 100 through the slot 110, or remove the other end of the pipe 300 from the recycling tank 100. This reduces the difficulty of operation for the user.
[0036] In some embodiments, the other end of the pipe 300 is provided with a connecting part, which is detachably connected to the chip conveyor 200. This allows the other end of the pipe 300 to be fixed to the chip conveyor 200. This facilitates the use of the chip conveyor 200 to remove waste chips and prevents the pipe 300 from obstructing the transfer process.
[0037] In some embodiments, after the connecting part is detachably connected to the chip conveyor 200, the other end of the pipe 300 is higher than the drain port 230. Therefore, when the chip conveyor 200 is moving to remove waste chips, by ensuring the other end of the pipe 300 is higher than the drain port 230, residual cutting fluid inside the chip conveyor 200 can be prevented from flowing out through the pipe 300. This prevents cutting fluid from contaminating the workshop environment.
[0038] In some embodiments, the drain port 230 is provided with a filter screen. This allows the cutting fluid to be filtered, preventing waste chips from flowing back into the recovery tank 100 with the cutting fluid.
[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drain port 230 is located near the bottom of the chip conveyor 200. This allows the cutting fluid at the bottom of the chip conveyor 200 to be drained, thereby improving the cutting fluid recovery rate.
[0040] The above description provides an exemplary description of possible embodiments of the waste liquid recovery structure 10. Below, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a detailed description of the specific structure of the waste liquid recovery structure 10 in a particular embodiment will be provided.
[0041] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the waste liquid recovery structure 10 in this application. Figure 1 As shown, the waste liquid recovery structure 10 includes a recovery tank 100, a chip conveyor 200, a pipeline 300, and a conveying device 400. The recovery tank 100 is used to collect cutting fluid and waste chips. The conveying device 400 is used to transport the waste chips from the recovery tank 100 to the chip conveyor 200, which is used to transfer and remove the waste chips. The pipeline 300 connects the chip conveyor 200 and the recovery tank 100, allowing the cutting fluid that enters the chip conveyor 200 along with the waste chips to flow back into the recovery tank 100.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the recovery tank 100 is a trough-shaped component, installed on the workshop floor, located below the machine tool 20. The top of the recovery tank 100 is open, forming a slot 110, so that cutting fluid and waste chips generated during the machining process can fall into the recovery tank 100 through the slot 110.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the chip conveyor 200 is equipped with wheels 210 at its bottom for movement. A chip collection port 220 is located at the top of the chip conveyor 200, allowing waste chips from the conveying device 400 to fall into the chip conveyor 200. A drain port 230 is located on the side wall of the chip conveyor 200 facing the recovery tank 100, near the bottom of the chip conveyor 200, allowing cutting fluid at the bottom of the chip conveyor 200 to flow out. A filter screen (not shown) is installed on the drain port 230 to filter the cutting fluid, preventing waste chips from flowing out with the cutting fluid through the drain port 230.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, pipe 300 is a flexible hose, with one end connected to drain port 230 and the other end extending into recovery tank 100 through slot 110. This allows the cutting fluid discharged from drain port 230 to flow back into recovery tank 100 via pipe 300.
[0045] like Figure 1As shown, the height of the drain outlet 230 is greater than the height of the bottom of the recovery tank 100 but less than the height of the opening 110. The pipe 300 has a bend at the opening 110, allowing it to extend upwards around the edge of the opening 110 into the recovery tank 100. The other end of the pipe 300 is lower than the drain outlet 230, creating a siphon effect when the pipe 300 discharges the cutting fluid, thus emptying the cutting fluid from the chip conveyor 200 and improving the cutting fluid recovery efficiency.

Those skilled in the art will understand that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of this utility model.
