[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a liquid adding device 100 for adding liquid to a machine. The liquid adding device 100 includes a base 1, a liquid storage tank 2, a liquid extraction component 3, a liquid outlet pipe 4, a first moving component 5, and a second moving component 6. The liquid storage tank 2 is connected to the base 1 and is used to store liquid. The liquid extraction component 3 is connected to the liquid storage tank 2 and can extract liquid from the liquid storage tank 2. One end of the liquid outlet pipe 4 is connected to the liquid extraction component 3, and the other end is provided with a liquid outlet 40, from which liquid in the liquid storage tank 2 can flow out. The first moving component 5 is configured to drive the end of the liquid outlet pipe 4 with the liquid outlet 40 to move. The second moving component 6 is connected to the base 1 and is configured to drive the base 1 to move.

[0026] In this embodiment, the storage tank 2 can be used to contain cutting fluid. The pump 3 can be a water pump used to extract the cutting fluid from the storage tank 2. The outlet pipe 4 can be a flexible, extendable hose that can move under the drive of the first moving component 5. The second moving component 6 may include an AGV trolley that can move within space and also move the base 1 and objects on the base 1 together. The second moving component 6 may also include other devices that can move the base 1; no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0027] Understandably, the second moving component 6 drives the base 1 to move, thereby moving components such as the liquid storage tank 2 connected to the base 1, achieving automatic movement of the liquid storage tank 2 without requiring manual operation, thus saving manpower. Simultaneously, the liquid extraction component 3 and the liquid outlet pipe 4 cooperate with the liquid storage tank 2 to extract liquid from it, and liquid can be dispensed from the outlet 40 in the outlet pipe 4 to add liquid to the machine. The first moving component 5 can drive the outlet pipe 4 to move, aligning the outlet 40 with the machine's filling port, ensuring accurate filling position.

[0028] In one embodiment, the liquid adding device 100 further includes a protective member 7, which surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the liquid storage tank 2 and is connected to the base 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the protective component 7 can be configured as a fence to protect the liquid storage tank 2 connected to the base 1, preventing the liquid storage tank 2 from shaking and disconnecting from the base 1 during movement. The bottom of the protective component 7 can also be provided with a support portion, on which the liquid storage tank 2 can be placed and supported. The protective component 7 can also be provided with a receiving groove 70 for accommodating the battery 11. The battery 11 can provide power to the liquid extraction component 13, enabling the liquid extraction component 13 to extract liquid from the liquid storage tank 2 for refilling. The liquid filling device 100 can also include a monitoring device and a charging device 12. The monitoring device can monitor the battery 11's charge level. When the battery 11's charge level is too low, the second moving component 6 moves the base 1 and other components to the position of the charging device 12, allowing the charging device 12 to charge the battery 11.

[0030] Understandably, the protective component 7 is designed to prevent the liquid storage tank 2 from shaking during movement and causing a break in the connection, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the liquid storage tank 2 during movement. The receiving slot 70 provides a place for the battery 11 to provide power to the liquid extraction component 13.

[0031] For ease of reading, this application introduces a first direction X, a second direction Z, and a third direction Y to describe the embodiments of this application. The first direction X, the second direction Z, and the third direction Y can be three non-parallel straight lines in space; further, the first direction X, the second direction Z, and the third direction Y can be three mutually perpendicular directions in a three-dimensional coordinate system (a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system). In subsequent embodiments, the first direction X is described as the X-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system, the second direction Z is the Z-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system, and the third direction Y is the Y-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system.

[0032] In one embodiment, the second moving component 6 includes a lifting component 62, which is connected to the base 1 and is used to drive the base 1 to move up and down along the second direction Z.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the second moving component 6 includes an AGV trolley, the AGV trolley may be equipped with a lifting component 62. The lifting component 62 may be a hydraulic, pneumatic or electric lifting device, which can drive the base 1 to move up and down along the second direction Z.

[0034] Understandably, the second movable component 6, equipped with the lifting assembly 62, can move components such as the liquid storage tank 2 connected to the base 1 along the second direction Z. This allows adjustment of the position of the liquid outlet 40 in the second direction Z, facilitating coordination with the machine and aligning the liquid outlet 40 with the liquid filling port on the machine. Simultaneously, when the second movable component 6 is not connected to the base 1, it can move along the second direction Z to connect with other positions on the base 1 in the second direction Z.

[0035] In one embodiment, the liquid dispensing device 100 further includes a support member 9 connected to the base 1, the support member 9 supporting the base 1, and the support member 9 being configured to allow the base 1 to move through the support member 9.

[0036] In this embodiment, the support member 9 is provided with four parts respectively connected to the four corners of the base 1. Each support member 9 is connected to a rolling element 91 at one end along the second direction Z. The rolling element 91 can be a wheel. When the base 1 moves under the drive of the second moving component 6, the rolling element 91 enables the support member 9 to move with the base 1.

[0037] Understandably, the support member 9 distributes the force transmitted from the base 1 to the second moving component 6, preventing the weight of the components connected to the base 1 from pressing down on the second moving component 6 and making it difficult to move. At the same time, the rolling member 91 allows the support member 9 to move with the base 1 without affecting the use of the base 1.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first moving component 5 includes a moving member 51 and a slide rail 52. The moving member 51 is configured to move along the slide rail 52, which extends in a first direction X. The moving member 51 is connected to one end of the liquid outlet pipe 4 that has a liquid outlet 40.

[0039] In this embodiment, the movable component 51 can be connected to a motor. Along the first direction X, the motor can drive the movable component 51 to move along the slide rail 52, thus enabling the movable component 51 to drive the liquid outlet pipe 4 to move along the first direction X. The liquid outlet pipe 4 can be configured as a telescopic pipe, with one end having a liquid outlet 40 telescopically connected to the other parts of the liquid outlet pipe 4. Under the guidance of the movable component 51, the part having the liquid outlet 40 can extend and retract relative to the other parts of the liquid outlet pipe 4.

[0040] Understandably, through the cooperation of the slide rail 52 and the moving part 51, the liquid outlet pipe 4 connected to the moving part 51 can move along the first direction X under the drive of the moving part 51, thereby adjusting the position of the liquid outlet 40 so that the liquid outlet 40 can be aligned with the liquid inlet of the machine tool, which is convenient for replenishing the cutting fluid to the machine tool.

[0041] In one embodiment, the first moving component 5 further includes a connector 53 connected to the moving component 51. The connector 53 has a connection hole 530. One end of the liquid outlet pipe 4 with a liquid outlet 40 can be inserted through the connection hole 530 so that the liquid outlet pipe 4 can be connected to the connector 53.

[0042] In this embodiment, the connector 53 can be a plate-like object or other objects that can connect the movable part 51 and the outlet pipe 4; no further restrictions are imposed. One end of the connector 53 along the third direction Y is connected to the movable part 51, and the other end has a connection hole 530. The end of the outlet pipe 4 with the outlet 40 can be engaged in the connection hole 530 and its displacement is restricted, ensuring a reliable connection between the outlet pipe 4 and the connector 53.

[0043] Understandably, the connector 53 enables the outlet pipe 4 to be connected to the moving part 51 in a relatively good manner, ensuring that the outlet pipe 4 can move along the first direction X under the drive of the moving part 51, and the outlet pipe 4 is locked in the connection hole 530 to ensure that the connection between the outlet pipe 4 and the connector 53 is firm, and the movement of the outlet pipe 4 driven by the moving part 51 is reliable.

[0044] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the second moving component 6 includes a positioning element 61, and the base 1 is connected to the second moving component 6 through the positioning element 61.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second moving component 6 may include an AGV trolley. A positioning element 61 is connected to the surface of the AGV trolley near the base 1 along the second direction Z, which can be used to connect with the base 1. When the second moving component 6 includes a lifting component 62, when the second moving component 6 moves directly below the base 1, the positioning element 61 cannot yet connect with the base 1. The second moving component 6 moves along the second direction Z under the drive of the lifting component 62 until it can connect with the base 1, thus completing the connection between the second moving component 6 and the base 1.

[0046] In one embodiment, a positioning hole 10 is provided on the base 1, and a positioning member 61 can be partially inserted into the positioning hole 10 so that the second moving component 6 is connected to the base 1.

[0047] In this embodiment, the positioning hole 10 is configured to correspond to the positioning member 61. The positioning member 61 can be engaged in the positioning hole 10 and is limited, thus achieving the connection between the positioning member 61 and the base 1, thereby enabling the second moving component 6 to connect with the base 1. The positioning member 61 can be configured to be wide at one end away from the base 1 and narrow at the other end closer to the base 1, thus ensuring a good engagement when the positioning member 61 is engaged in the positioning hole 10.

[0048] It is understandable that the design of the positioning element 61 and the positioning hole 10 enables the second moving component 6 to be connected to the base 1, and the second moving component 6 can move along the second direction Z according to the actual situation to achieve the connection between it and the base 1.

[0049] In one embodiment, the liquid dispensing device 100 further includes a detection element 8 for detecting the weight of the liquid storage tank 2.

[0050] In this embodiment, the detection element 8 can be a weighing sensor, which can be connected to the base 1 at one end and to the protective element 7 at the other end, and can detect the weight of the liquid storage tank 2 placed on the protective element 7. Four detection elements 8 can be arranged at intervals to better detect the weight of the liquid adding device 100.

[0051] In one embodiment, the liquid adding device 100 further includes a controller, which is signal-connected to the detection element 8 for acquiring the weight signal of the liquid storage tank 2. The controller is also signal-connected to the liquid extraction element 3, and based on the weight signal, the controller controls the working state of the liquid extraction element 3.

[0052] In this embodiment, the controller can be a host computer that can obtain the weight signal detected by the detection element 8, and no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0053] Understandably, through the controller, the operator can observe the information detected by the detection element 8 to obtain the real-time weight of the liquid storage tank 2 and understand the changes in the liquid weight within the tank. Simultaneously, the controller can also connect to the pumping element 3. When the change in liquid weight within the tank 2 reaches a set value, the controller can control the pumping element 3 to stop pumping, thus achieving quantitative liquid addition to the machine.

[0054] The specific embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and substitutions can be made to the specific embodiments of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. All such changes and substitutions fall within the scope defined by this application.
