[0057] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0058] Example 1
[0059] See Figure 1 This embodiment provides a weighing-type automatic cutting fluid dosing system for a slicing machine, comprising:
[0060] Main liquid filling tank device 1, weighing automatic liquid filling tank device 2, and PLC control device 3;
[0061] The main liquid filling tank device 1 includes: a main liquid filling tank body 11, a liquid pump 12, a stirring device 13, and a liquid level sensor 14;
[0062] The stirring device 13 and the liquid level sensor 14 are installed inside the main liquid filling tank 11. In this embodiment, the stirring device 13 is installed inside the main liquid filling tank 11 to ensure uniform mixing of the cutting fluid components, avoid sedimentation and stratification, and ensure stable quality of the cutting fluid. The liquid level sensor 14 can monitor the liquid level in the main liquid filling tank 11 in real time and promptly feed it back to the PLC control device 3 to prevent overflow or low liquid level from causing the equipment to run dry.
[0063] The main liquid filling tank 11 is provided with a first liquid inlet and a first liquid outlet;
[0064] The liquid pump 12 is installed on the main liquid filling tank 11, and the liquid inlet of the liquid pump 12 is connected to the first liquid outlet.
[0065] The outlet of the liquid pump 12 is connected to the inlet of the weighing automatic liquid filling tank device 2.
[0066] See Figure 2 The PLC control device 3 is connected to the stirring device 13, the liquid level sensor 14, and the liquid pump 12 respectively.
[0067] In this embodiment, the weighing-type automatic liquid filling tank device 2 includes: a protective cover 21, an automatic liquid filling tank body 22 disposed in the protective cover 21, a weighing sensor 23, and a drain solenoid valve 24;
[0068] The protective cover 21 provides physical protection for the automatic liquid filling tank 22, preventing external environment (such as dust, impurities, etc.) from contaminating or damaging the internal equipment. It also provides a certain degree of heat insulation and sound insulation, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.
[0069] The weighing sensor 23 is located at the bottom of the automatic liquid filling tank 22. In this embodiment, the weighing sensor 23 is located at the bottom of the automatic liquid filling tank 22, which can monitor the weight of the cutting fluid in the tank in real time, ensuring that the amount of cutting fluid added each time is accurate. Compared with traditional volume measurement methods, the weighing sensor can avoid errors caused by changes in liquid density or the influence of air bubbles, thus improving the accuracy of liquid filling.
[0070] The bottom of the automatic liquid filling tank 22 has a drain port, and the drain solenoid valve 24 is located at the drain port;
[0071] The liquid inlet at the top of the protective cover 21 serves as the liquid inlet of the weighing automatic liquid filling tank device 2 and is connected to the outlet of the liquid pump 12.
[0072] In this embodiment, the liquid inlet of the protective cover 21 is provided with a flange joint;
[0073] The automatic liquid filling tank 22 has an opening at the top, which is located directly below the flange joint;
[0074] The protective cover 21 is a glass cover or a metal cover.
[0075] In this embodiment, the flange joint is located at the liquid inlet of the protective cover 21, providing a reliable mechanical connection and good sealing performance. The flange joint can withstand high pressure and vibration, ensuring that no leakage occurs during liquid transmission and improving system safety. The opening at the top of the automatic liquid filling tank 22 is located directly below the flange joint, ensuring that the liquid flows into the tank accurately and avoiding overflow or splashing problems caused by positional deviation. The flange joint design makes the connection between the protective cover 21 and the pipeline easier to disassemble and install, facilitating regular inspection, cleaning, and maintenance. Operators can easily open the protective cover for internal cleaning, reducing maintenance time and costs.
[0076] The glass cover not only provides physical protection, but also allows operators to directly observe the working status inside the automatic liquid filling tank 22, such as the liquid level and liquid color, so as to facilitate timely detection of problems and take measures.
[0077] The metal shield has good heat insulation properties, which helps to maintain the temperature stability inside the automatic liquid filling tank 22 and avoid the impact of external temperature changes on the properties of the liquid.
[0078] Specifically, it also includes a fixed bracket 4 and a liquid supply tank 5;
[0079] The weighing-type automatic liquid filling tank device 2 is mounted above the liquid supply tank 5 via the fixed bracket 4.
[0080] In this embodiment, the automatic liquid filling tank 2 is placed above the liquid supply tank 5, utilizing vertical space and making the overall system layout more compact. This design reduces the floor space required, making it particularly suitable for production environments with limited space. Because the two tanks are arranged vertically, the liquid can flow naturally by gravity or be transported over short distances, reducing pipe length and connection points, lowering the risk of leakage, and simplifying installation and maintenance. The fixed bracket 4 provides stable support, ensuring that the automatic liquid filling tank 2 will not shift or tip over due to external vibration or impact, enhancing the overall stability of the system. Even in the event of an accident (such as liquid spillage), the liquid will flow directly into the liquid supply tank 5 below, avoiding pollution to the surrounding environment and improving system safety. When the cutting fluid in the automatic liquid filling tank 2 needs replenishment, it can flow directly from the top to the bottom liquid supply tank 5 by gravity, without the need for additional power equipment, saving energy and improving liquid supply efficiency.
[0081] Specifically, the fixed bracket 4 is fixed to the wall by fasteners.
[0082] Securely fastening bracket 4 to the wall with fasteners provides additional support, ensuring the entire system will not shift or tip over due to external vibrations or impacts. This fixing method significantly enhances system stability, especially in industrial environments with high vibration levels. Once bracket 4 is fixed to the wall, it prevents tilting or sliding of the bracket due to uneven ground or other factors, further improving system safety.
[0083] In this embodiment, fasteners (such as bolts, nuts, etc.) are used to fix the bracket, which makes the installation process simple and quick, reduces the need for complex civil engineering projects, and lowers the installation cost.
[0084] See Figure 2 The PLC control device is also connected to the weighing sensor 23 and the drain solenoid valve 24 respectively.
[0085] The drain solenoid valve 24 is installed at the drain port at the bottom of the automatic liquid filling tank 22. It can be precisely controlled by the PLC control device 3 to ensure the stability and safety of the draining process. When draining is required, the solenoid valve can respond quickly and open / close accurately, avoiding the risks that may be caused by manual operation.
[0086] The flange joint is connected to the outlet of the pump 12 via a liquid filling solenoid valve 25.
[0087] The liquid adding solenoid valve 25 is connected to the PLC control device 3.
[0088] By combining the flange joint with the liquid filling solenoid valve 25 and connecting it to the PLC control device 3, this structural design not only achieves precise control and automated operation, but also improves safety and reliability, simplifies maintenance, enhances system integration, and improves user experience.
[0089] A funnel is provided at the opening at the top of the liquid supply tank 5;
[0090] The drain solenoid valve 24 is located directly above the funnel.
[0091] In this embodiment, the funnel allows the liquid to flow more smoothly into the supply tank 5, avoiding splashing or overflow problems that may occur when pouring directly. The flared design of the funnel can accommodate a larger liquid flow rate, improving the liquid addition efficiency. The drain solenoid valve 24 is located directly above the funnel, ensuring that the liquid during the draining process falls accurately into the funnel and smoothly enters the supply tank 5 through the funnel, avoiding liquid spillage or incomplete flow due to positional deviation. The funnel provides a guiding channel for the liquid, reducing the impact of the external environment (such as dust, impurities, etc.) on the interior of the supply tank 5, protecting the internal equipment and liquid quality. The presence of the funnel helps maintain a stable temperature at the top opening of the supply tank 5, avoiding the influence of external temperature changes on the liquid properties, especially for temperature-sensitive cutting fluids, better maintaining their property stability.
[0092] The automatic weighing-type cutting fluid addition system for the slicer in this embodiment further includes: an alarm device 6; the alarm device 6 is installed on the main fluid addition tank 11; see also Figure 2 The alarm device 6 is connected to the PLC control device 3.
[0093] In this embodiment, the alarm device 6 can monitor the working status (such as liquid level, pressure, etc.) inside the main liquid filling tank 11 in real time. Once an abnormality is detected (such as liquid level being too low or too high, equipment failure, etc.), an alarm signal is immediately triggered. Through connection with the PLC control device 3, the alarm information can be quickly transmitted to the control system, enabling the PLC to take timely measures, such as stopping the operation of the liquid pump 12, starting the backup system, or notifying the operator to check and handle the situation.
[0094] In this embodiment, a handle is provided on the outside of the main filling tank 11. The handle makes it easier for operators to carry or move the main filling tank 11, especially when it is necessary to adjust its position or perform maintenance, reducing manpower requirements and operational difficulty. In confined or complex working environments, the handle allows for more flexible adjustment of the position of the main filling tank 11, ensuring that it is placed in the most suitable location.

[0098] The main liquid filling tank 11 has a first liquid inlet and a first liquid outlet.
[0099] The liquid level sensor 14 is responsible for monitoring the liquid level inside the tank to ensure timely replenishment of liquid.
[0100] The stirring device 13 is used for uniform mixing of the liquid in the main liquid tank.

[0103] The inlet of the protective cover 21 is equipped with a flange joint; the inlet at the top of the protective cover 21 serves as the inlet of the weighing automatic liquid filling tank device 2 and is connected to the outlet of the liquid pump 12. In practical applications, the connection between the liquid pump and the flange joint ensures the sealing and stability of the liquid delivery, preventing leakage.
[0104] The automatic liquid filling tank 22 has an opening at the top, which is located directly below the flange joint.
[0105] The weighing sensor is located at the bottom of the tank to monitor the liquid weight in real time.
[0106] The drain solenoid valve is located at the drain port at the bottom of the tank and is used to precisely control the liquid discharge.
[0107] The shield can be made of glass or metal to provide protection.
[0108] In this embodiment, the main liquid filling tank and the weighing automatic liquid filling tank are separated to reduce mutual interference between the equipment and facilitate maintenance and replacement.
[0109] The PLC control device 3 is connected to the stirring device 13, the liquid level sensor 14, the liquid pump, the weighing sensor, and the liquid discharge solenoid valve, thus enabling fully automated control of the entire process.
