An output end of the water tank 2 is connected to a water inlet of the pressure tank 10. The control cabinet 1 is electrically connected to the cooling water recovery pump 9, the pressure tank 10, the pressure detection sensor 7 and the temperature detection sensor 8. The control cabinet 1 is a constant temperature and constant pressure variable frequency cabinet.

[0017] As a preferred, in order to realize the water reuse, the water tank 2 and pressure tank 10 between connecting soft water treatment equipment 11, the output of the soft water treatment equipment 11 and the water inlet of the pressure tank 10 are connected, the input of the soft water treatment equipment 11 and the output of the water tank 2 and the blowdown of the pressure tank 10 are connected, in the embodiment, the soft water treatment equipment 11 is prior art and thus not described in detail, which mainly comprises a sand wheel device, a carbon filter and a softener connected in sequence.

[0018] As a preferred, in order to realize the filtration and the one-way flow of water, a one-way valve 12 and a turbine butterfly valve 13 are connected in sequence between the output of the cooling water recovery pump 9 and the pressure tank 10. A turbine butterfly valve 14 and a Y-type filter 15 are connected between the input of the cooling water recovery pump 9 and the water return pipeline 4. In the embodiment, the one-way valve 12 is connected between the output of the cooling water recovery pump 9 and the pressure tank 10, so that water can only flow from the cooling water recovery pump 9 to the pressure tank 10. The Y-type filter 15 is connected between the input of the cooling water recovery pump 9 and the water return pipeline 4, so as to filter water.

[0019] As a preferred, in order to realize the late exhaust, an automatic exhaust valve 16 connected with the control cabinet 1 is further arranged on the water return pipeline 4. In the embodiment, the automatic exhaust valve 16 is added to automatically exhaust the water return pipeline 4, so as to avoid the problem of pipeline burst caused by high pressure.

[0020] As a preferred, the automatic water supply function of the water tank 2 is realized. A total water inlet pipeline 17 is arranged on the water tank 2. A water supply electromagnetic valve 5 electrically connected with the control cabinet 1 is arranged on the total water inlet pipeline 17. In the embodiment, the total water inlet pipeline 17 is used to supply tap water to the water tank 2, and the water supply electromagnetic valve 5 is used to automatically supply water to the water tank 2, so as to further improve the work efficiency.

[0021] The working principle of the structure is as follows: a plurality of injection molding machines 18 are distributed in the workshop, and the water inlet pipeline 3 and the water return pipeline 4 are respectively located on each injection molding machine 18, and one total water inlet of the water inlet pipeline 3 is connected with the closed cooling water tower 6, and the total recovery port of the water return pipeline 4 is connected with the cooling water recovery pump 9 (how the water inlet pipeline 3 and the water return pipeline 4 are distributed on the injection molding machine 18 belongs to the conventional technology in the art, so it is not described in detail), in operation, by increasing the pressure tank 10, the water in the pressure tank 10 is allowed to work through the closed cooling water tower 6, so that the internal pressure of the pressure tank 10 rises, the internal pressure is compressed to form a certain air pressure (and the air pressure can be adjusted to reach 2-5 kg), then the water is pressed into the closed cooling water tower 6 for cooling, then returns to the workshop through the water inlet pipeline 3, and finally the water in the workshop is pressure-kept, then under the action of the cooling water recovery pump 9, the water in the entire pipeline is continuously circulated, and since the cooling water recovery pump 9 only allows the water to move, the power of the cooling water recovery pump 9 is relatively low, and in the embodiment, only a water pump with a power of 11 kW is used, compared with the high-power water pump used in the prior art, the structure further uses a low-power water pump, finally realizes energy saving and reduces energy consumption, and in the structure, the speed and the number of the cooling water recovery pump 9 can be automatically adjusted by the control cabinet 1 to keep the water pressure constant and reduce the energy consumption.

[0022] Moreover, in actual operation, if multiple water pumps are used, the "first start first stop" and "cumulative time switching" principles can be used to prolong the service life of the water pump; the water pump uses soft start to eliminate water hammer phenomenon. When a water pump fails, it automatically switches to other water pumps for operation and sends an alarm, and compared with the traditional pipeline structure, the same-path water inlet pipeline structure can be used without adjusting the end valve, and at a lower water supply pressure, it can ensure that each device in multiple parallel devices has the same water supply and return pressure difference and circulating water volume, thereby reducing the use cost and energy consumption.

[0023] Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent replacement to part of the technical features, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
