Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical engineering technology, and in particular to a self-cleaning automated equipment cooling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Automated equipment refers to mechanical equipment or systems that can automatically complete specific tasks or a series of operations according to preset programs, instructions, or rules without direct human intervention.

[0003] CNC machine tools are automated equipment specifically designed for metal cutting, forming, and other machining operations. During metal processing, especially in high-speed cutting and grinding processes, CNC machine tools often generate a large amount of heat. To prevent the machining accuracy from being affected, a good cooling mechanism is required. The cooling mechanism of a CNC machine tool generally consists of a cooling pump, a cooling water tank, cooling pipes, nozzles, and temperature sensors. The cooling mechanism typically uses a cooling pump to draw coolant from the cooling water tank and delivers it to the nozzles through cooling pipes. The nozzles precisely spray the coolant onto the cutting area of ​​the machine tool to cool the tool and the workpiece, removing the large amount of heat generated during the cutting process, preventing tool overheating and wear, workpiece deformation, and ensuring machining accuracy and quality.

[0004] Existing CNC machine tool cooling mechanisms are simple in structure and easy to use, meeting the cooling needs of CNC machine tool operation. However, during the circulation process, the coolant carries a large amount of metal shavings, oil, and other impurities. These substances continuously accumulate and precipitate in the filter screen, pipes, and other parts of the cooling mechanism. When cleaning is required, it usually relies on manual operation and requires external cleaning equipment, such as high-pressure water guns and special cleaning agents. However, this cleaning method has many problems. On the one hand, the internal structure of the cooling mechanism is complex, making it difficult for manual cleaning to reach every corner, resulting in significant cleaning difficulties. On the other hand, manual operation is slow and limited by tools and operating space, leading to low cleaning efficiency. This seriously affects the normal production progress of CNC machine tools, increases maintenance costs, and reduces downtime. Therefore, a self-cleaning automated equipment cooling mechanism is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a self-cleaning automated equipment cooling mechanism, including a base 1, a processing frame 2 mounted on the top of the base 1, a motor 3 mounted on the top of the processing frame 2, a processing head 4 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 3, a filter plate 13 mounted in the middle of the base 1, a water tank 5 mounted inside the base 1, a water pump 6 mounted in the middle of the water tank 5, a diverter pipe 7 fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 6, a self-cleaning component 9 mounted directly below the processing head 4, a cooling fan 18 mounted in the middle of the processing frame 2, a dustproof plate 19 mounted on the side of the cooling fan 18 away from the processing head 4, and a dust removal component 20 mounted on the outer side of the processing frame 2.

[0033] The self-cleaning component 9 includes an electric push rod 10, which is located on the top of the base 1. A slider 11 is slidably connected to the middle of the filter plate 13. A cleaning head 12 is located at the end of the slider 11 away from the electric push rod 10. A water tank 5 is located directly below the filter plate 13. Multiple spray heads 8 are evenly distributed in the middle of the processing frame 2. The multiple spray heads 8 are all fixedly connected to the end of the diversion pipe 7 away from the water pump 6. A limiting groove 14 is opened in the middle of the filter plate 13. The slider 11 is slidably connected in the middle of the limiting groove 14. A PLC controller 15 is located on one side of the base 1. Multiple impurity detectors 16 are evenly arranged on the top of the filter plate 13. A heat dissipation vent 24 is opened in the middle of the processing frame 2. The output end of the cooling fan 18 is adapted to the position of the heat dissipation vent 24. A collection box 17 is installed at the end of the base 1 away from the electric push rod 10.

[0034] Impurities in the cooling water are intercepted by the filter plate 13. When impurities accumulate to a certain extent on the filter plate 13, the impurity detector 16 can capture the signal of excessive impurities and transmit it to the PLC controller 15. After receiving the signal, the PLC controller 15 issues a command to start the electric push rod 10, which pushes the slider 11 to slide in the limit groove 14, thereby driving the cleaning head 12 to clean the filter plate 13. Through the cleaning work of the cleaning head 12, the impurities are concentrated and pushed to the collection box 17, realizing the self-cleaning of the filter plate 13. This greatly reduces manual intervention, effectively improves cleaning efficiency, avoids the impact of impurity accumulation on the cooling effect, and ensures the stable operation of the cooling mechanism. The heat dissipation fan 18 blows the heat in the working area through the heat dissipation port 24 for rapid heat dissipation and cooling, which helps to effectively control the temperature of the working area.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The dust removal assembly 20 includes a slide plate 21, which is slidably connected to the side of the dustproof plate 19 away from the cooling fan 18. A dust removal head 22 is provided on one side of the slide plate 21, which is located on the side of the dustproof plate 19 close to the slide plate 21. A handle 23 is provided on the side of the slide plate 21 away from the dustproof plate 19.

[0036] By pulling the handle 23, the operator causes the sliding plate 21 to slide on one side of the dustproof plate 19, thereby driving the cleaning head 22 to move synchronously. During the sliding process, the cleaning head 22 quickly cleans the dust accumulated on the surface of the dustproof plate 19, so that the airflow of the cooling fan 18 is not obstructed by dust, ensuring the normal ventilation and heat dissipation function of the cooling fan 18. The simple and easy-to-operate mechanical structure makes the maintenance of the cooling mechanism more convenient and efficient.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 The slider 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric actuator 10.

[0038] The movement of the slider 11 is mechanically controlled by the electric actuator 10, which improves the level of automation, reduces manual intervention, and improves the cleaning efficiency and quality of the cooling mechanism.

[0039] Working principle: When the equipment is running, the motor 3 drives the processing head 4 to perform processing operations. At this time, the water pump 6 draws coolant from the water tank 5 and delivers it to multiple spray heads 8 through the diversion pipe 7. The coolant is sprayed onto the processing area, carrying away the heat generated during processing and cooling the processing head 4 and the workpiece. Metal chips, oil stains and other impurities generated during processing fall down with the coolant and are intercepted by the filter plate 13. When the impurities on the filter plate 13 accumulate to a certain extent, the impurity detector 16 detects the impurity signal and transmits it to the PLC controller 15. After receiving the signal, the PLC controller 15 controls the electric push rod 10 to start. The electric push rod 10 pushes the slider 11 to slide in the limit groove 14, thereby driving the cleaning head 12 to clean the filter plate 13 and push the impurities to the collection box 17, completing the self-cleaning of the filter plate 13.

[0040] When the equipment is running, the cooling fan 18 works to dissipate heat inside the processing frame 2 and prevent the equipment from overheating. Over time, dust will accumulate on the dustproof plate 19, affecting the heat dissipation effect. At this time, the handle 23 can be pulled to move the sliding plate 21 to slide on one side of the dustproof plate 19, so that the dust cleaning head 22 can clean the dustproof plate 19 and ensure the normal ventilation and heat dissipation of the cooling fan 18.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
