Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heat dissipation equipment for high-precision CNC machine tool drive devices, specifically a heat dissipation structure for high-precision CNC machine tool drive devices. Background Technology

[0002] A high-precision CNC machine tool is a CNC machining equipment with high precision, high efficiency, and high stability. It consists of multiple parts, including a CNC system, mechanical structure, drive device, and electrical system. These parts work closely together to achieve high-precision machining. The drive device of a high-precision CNC machine tool is the drive component of the CNC machine tool's actuator, including the spindle drive unit, feed unit, spindle motor, and feed motor. Under the control of the CNC device, they drive the machine tool spindle, tool post, and worktable to precisely position or perform strict relative movements along a specified trajectory through mechanical transmission components, ultimately machining the parts required by the drawings. The machine tool spindle is responsible for driving the workpiece or tool to rotate, and the performance of the spindle directly affects the machining accuracy, efficiency, and stability of the machine tool.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a heat dissipation structure for a high-precision CNC machine tool drive device, including a CNC machine tool assembly 1 and a monitoring assembly 4. The CNC machine tool assembly 1 includes a base 101 and a spindle protective cover 102. The spindle protective cover 102 is used to install the spindle drive mechanism. A water cooling assembly 2 is installed in the inner cavity of the base 101. The water cooling assembly 2 is used to provide water cooling for the spindle. A filter assembly 3 is installed on the back of the CNC machine tool assembly 1. The filter assembly 3 is used to filter... The filtration assembly 3 for filtering cooling water includes a filter tank 301, a top cover 302, a support plate 303, a filter element 304, a return pipe 305, an outlet pipe 306, a fixing plate 307, and a support rod 308. The fixing plate 307 is fixedly connected to the filter tank 301. One end of the support rod 308 is fixedly connected to the top cover 302, and the other end of the support rod 308 is movably connected to the fixing plate 307 via a rotating shaft. One end of the outlet pipe 306 is connected to the outlet of the filter tank 301, and the other end of the outlet pipe 306 is connected to the outlet of the filter tank 301. The return pipe 305 extends through the inner cavity of the base 101. One end of the return pipe 305 is connected to the inlet of the filter tank 301, and the other end of the return pipe 305 is connected to the return end of the spindle cooling water. The support plate 303 and the filter element 304 are both installed in the inner cavity of the filter tank 301. The top cover 302 is located on the top of the filter tank 301 and is movably connected to the filter tank 301 by a hinge bolt. The monitoring component 4 is used to monitor the operating status of the filter component 3. The monitoring component 4 includes a PLC control host 401 and a first pressure transmitter. The system includes a first pressure sensor 402, a second pressure sensor 403, a remote pressure gauge 404, and a radar level gauge 405. The first pressure sensor 402 is mounted on the surface of the return pipe 305, the second pressure sensor 403 is mounted on the surface of the outlet pipe 306, and the remote pressure gauge 404 is mounted on the surface of the top cover 302. The output terminals of the first pressure sensor 402, the second pressure sensor 403, the remote pressure gauge 404, and the radar level gauge 405 are all connected to the input terminals of the PLC control host 401.

[0025] like Figure 1-5As shown, the spindle cooling water enters the inner cavity of the filter tank 301 through the return pipe 305. The surface of the support plate 303 has several holes through which the filter element 304 is inserted. The number of holes is equal to the number of filter elements 304. The cooling water is filtered through the filter element 304, which can be made of PP cotton material to intercept fine particles in the cooling water. The filtered cooling water is delivered to the water cooling assembly 2 through the outlet pipe 306. The remote pressure gauge 404 can monitor the pressure inside the filter tank 301. The first pressure sensor 402 is used to monitor the inlet water pressure, and the second pressure sensor 403 is used to monitor the outlet water pressure. The first pressure sensor 402 and the second pressure sensor 403 can monitor the inlet and outlet water pressures in real time. When the pressure difference exceeds the preset threshold, it is determined that the filter element 304 is blocked. This allows for real-time monitoring of the operating status of the filter assembly 3, ensuring the stability of the filter assembly 3. The fixing plate 307 and the support rod 308 can provide support for the disassembled top cover 302.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Reference Figure 2 and 3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0028] In this embodiment, the water-cooling assembly 2 includes a water tank 201, a water chiller 202, a delivery pump 203, a delivery pipe 204, a circulation pipe 205, and a connecting pipe 206. The water tank 201, the water chiller 202, and the delivery pump 203 are all fixed to the inner cavity of the base 101.

[0029] One end of the connecting pipe 206 is connected to the inlet of the delivery pump 203, and the other end of the connecting pipe 206 is connected to the outlet of the water tank 201. One end of the delivery pipe 204 is connected to the outlet of the delivery pump 203, and the other end of the delivery pipe 204 is connected to the inlet of the spindle cooling water.

[0030] One end of the outlet pipe 306 located in the inner cavity of the base 101 is connected to the inlet of the water chiller 202, one end of the circulation pipe 205 is connected to the outlet of the water chiller 202, and the other end of the circulation pipe 205 is connected to the inner cavity of the water tank 201.

[0031] like Figure 2 and 3As shown, the cooling water filtered by the filter assembly 3 first enters the water chiller 202, where it is cooled. The water chiller 202 consists of a compressor, evaporator, condenser, expansion valve, built-in water pump, and auxiliary piping components. It can provide constant temperature, constant flow, and constant pressure cooling water. The model of the water chiller 202 can be ICA-3. After cooling, the cooling water flows back to the inner cavity of the water tank 201 through the circulation pipe 205. The top of the water tank 201 is also equipped with a cover. Cooling water will be lost during the circulation process. When the water level in the inner cavity of the water tank 201 is too low, the cover can be opened to replenish the inner cavity of the water tank 201. The centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the delivery pump 203 draws the cooling water from the inner cavity of the water tank 201 through the connecting pipe 206 and delivers it to the spindle through the delivery pipe 204, thereby achieving water cooling heat dissipation for the spindle.

[0032] Example 3

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and 2 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0034] In this embodiment, the output terminal of the PLC control host 401 is connected to the input terminals of the delivery pump 203 and the water chiller 202, respectively, and the radar level gauge 405 is installed on the top of the water tank 201.

[0035] The output of the PLC control host 401 is connected to the input of the delivery pump 203 and the water chiller 202 respectively, and the radar level gauge 405 is installed on the top of the water tank 201.

[0036] The protective door 103 is hinged to the spindle guard 102 via a hinge. The protective door 103 is mounted on the surface of the fan 104, which is used to ventilate the inner cavity of the spindle guard 102.

[0037] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the PLC control host 401 is installed on the surface of the CNC machine tool body. The PLC control host 401 determines whether the filter element 304 is blocked by collecting data from the first pressure sensor 402, the second pressure sensor 403 and the remote pressure gauge 404. The PLC control host 401 is also connected to the alarm system of the CNC machine tool. When the filter element 304 is blocked, the alarm information can be issued in time through the alarm system. The cover plate 105 is used to seal the inner cavity of the base 101. The surface of the cover plate 105 is provided with a through groove. The through groove can keep the air in the inner cavity of the base 101 circulating, so as to ventilate and dissipate heat for the water cooling component 2. The fan 104 is used to ventilate the inner cavity of the spindle protective cover 102.

[0038] In operation, spindle cooling water enters the inner cavity of filter tank 301 through return pipe 305. The surface of support plate 303 has several holes through which filter elements 304 are inserted. The number of holes equals the number of filter elements 304. Cooling water is filtered through filter elements 304, which can be made of PP cotton to intercept fine particles in the cooling water. The filtered cooling water is then transported to water chiller 202 for cooling through outlet pipe 306. Remote pressure gauge 404 monitors the pressure inside filter tank 301. First pressure sensor 402 monitors the inlet pressure, and second pressure sensor 403 monitors the outlet pressure. The system can monitor the pressure of the inlet and outlet water in real time. When the pressure difference exceeds the preset threshold, it is determined that the filter element 304 is blocked. This allows for real-time monitoring of the operation of the filter assembly 3, ensuring the stability of its operation. The cooled water, after being cooled, flows back to the inner cavity of the water tank 201 through the circulation pipe 205. The top of the water tank 201 is also equipped with a cover. Cooling water will be lost during the circulation process. When the water level in the inner cavity of the water tank 201 is too low, the cover can be opened to replenish the inner cavity of the water tank 201. The centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the delivery pump 203 draws the cooling water in the inner cavity of the water tank 201 through the connecting pipe 206 and delivers it to the main shaft through the delivery pipe 204, thereby achieving water cooling heat dissipation for the main shaft.

[0039] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. The control method is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art and is common knowledge in the field. Since this application is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail in this application.

[0040] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this invention shall be determined by the claims.
