[0002] The water tank of the existing machining center is usually a large water tank installed externally at the bottom of the machining center, which has a large volume, a long circulation path of the water circuit, and a large difference in water quantity and water level, so a pump for high-voltage (above 60V) alternating current is needed to drive the flow of the water circuit to realize the cleaning work of the machining center, resulting in low cleaning efficiency of the machining center and large noise generated by the pump. In addition, the existing water tank cannot achieve oil-water separation and recycling, that is, the oil and water (i.e. cutting fluid) in the machining center cannot be mixed during processing, and when the machining center needs to use oil and water alternately, the processing cost will increase due to mixing, so only a single processing condition (oil or water) can be used, and therefore the oil (or water) needs to be emptied before each replacement to avoid introducing impurities, resulting in high labor cost.

[0003] There is also a small water tank in the form of a rectangular strip installed in front of the workbench of the machining center and below the water outlet of the backflow tank, which has low versatility and cannot be adapted to different types of machining centers, and the volume of the small water tank is small and the circulation path of the water circuit is short, so the water quantity is small, which also affects the cleaning efficiency of the machining center.

Specifically, the oil pump 3 is a miniature direct current oil pump, the voltage is 24V, the lift range is 6-9M, the flow is 1500L / h, and the power is 31.2W, which has the advantages of small volume, low power consumption, high efficiency, low noise (less than 30dB) and long service life.

[0029] The water tank 2 of the machining center water tank mechanism is arranged around the periphery of the base 4, has high universality, can be adapted to different types of machining centers such as vertical, horizontal and gantry types, and has a more reasonable structure assembly layout, the volume capacity of the water tank 2 is moderate, the length of the circulation path of the liquid (i.e. water liquid and oil liquid) is reasonably moderate, the water quantity and the water level height difference are also reasonably moderate, and then a high-pressure alternating oil pump does not need to be used, but a micro direct-current oil pump can also be used to extract and convey the oil liquid to the machining area above the vice 5 for circulation use, thereby realizing efficient cleaning work of the machining center, being more convenient and easy, and improving the cleaning efficiency of the machining center and reducing the production cost.

[0030] It needs to be further explained that since the water outlet terminal of the water liquid (i.e. cutting fluid) is located on the water wheel of the machining center, the water liquid chamber of the utility model is connected to the water wheel of the machining center through an external pipeline to complete the complete circulation use process of the water liquid, and the machining center water tank mechanism of the utility model mainly realizes the complete circulation use process of the oil liquid, and the utility model realizes the maximization of the utilization rate of the oil liquid and the water liquid and improves the performance-price ratio of the machine tool (machining center).

[0031] In the embodiment, the filter screen plate 8 for realizing solid-liquid separation is arranged between the solid collecting chamber 21 and the liquid chamber 22, so that the solid matter (mainly iron filings) is intercepted and stays in the solid collecting chamber 21, and the liquid matter enters the liquid chamber 22, the filter plate 9 for realizing oil-water separation is arranged between the water liquid chamber and the oil liquid chamber, so that the water liquid (i.e. cutting fluid) is intercepted and stays in the water liquid chamber, and the oil liquid flows over the filter plate 9 and enters the oil liquid chamber (the principle of oil-water separation is that the density of the oil liquid is less than that of the water liquid, so that the oil liquid floats on the surface of the water liquid).

[0032] In the embodiment, the water liquid chamber and the filter plate 9 are respectively provided with a liquid discharge through hole 10, and a plugging piece is detachably installed in the liquid discharge through hole 10, when oil-water separation work is needed, the plugging piece is plugged and installed in the liquid discharge through hole 10, and when liquid discharge work is needed, the plugging piece is detached.

[0033] In this embodiment, the liquid chamber 22 is U-shaped and includes a front channel 221, a left channel 222, a rear channel 223 and a right channel 224 connected sequentially along the flow direction. The front channel 221 and the right channel 224 are closed to each other, that is, the front channel 221 and the right channel 224 are not directly connected. This allows the oil to be recycled through the circulation path of the front channel 221, the left channel 222, the rear channel 223, the right channel 224, the oil pump 3, the return tank 6, the solid collection chamber 21 and the front channel 221.

[0034] In this embodiment, the filter plate 9 is located at the right channel 224 to divide the right channel 224 into a first right channel 2241 and a second right channel 2242. The front channel 221, the left channel 222, the rear channel 223 and the first right channel 2241 are connected in sequence to form a water chamber, and the second right channel 2242 forms an oil chamber.

[0035] In this embodiment, flow-limiting baffles 11 extending downwards are provided in the left channel 222 and the right channel 224. An outlet 14 is formed below the flow-limiting baffle 11. The height of the outlet 14 is lower than the height of the filter plate 9. This arrangement can settle small precipitates and allow liquids (i.e., water and oil) to flow slowly through the outlet 14 and then slowly rise so that the oil overflows the filter plate 9 and enters the oil chamber. This prevents the oil from being mixed with water and overflowing the filter plate 9 into the oil chamber, thus ensuring the purity of the oil.

[0036] In this embodiment, a receiving cavity 12 is formed at one end of the oil chamber near the front channel 221, and the oil pump 3 is installed in the receiving cavity 12, thereby ensuring the stability of the working environment of the oil pump 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, handles 13 are installed on the left and right sides of the water tank 2, which facilitates lifting the water tank 2 for installation or disassembly.

[0038] In this embodiment, the return trough 6 is formed by assembling multiple detachable plates, and the return trough 6 is an inverted trapezoidal trough with high sides and low middle, so that solids such as iron filings, oil or water can be collected in the return trough 6, preventing splashing everywhere, so that only the area inside the return trough 6 needs to be cleaned during cleaning.

[0039] This utility model also provides a machining center, including the machining center water tank mechanism described in the above embodiments. This machining center water tank mechanism is highly versatile and applicable to different types of machining centers such as vertical, horizontal, and gantry types.

[0040] Although the utility model is specifically shown and introduced in combination with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to the utility model in form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model defined in the appended claims, and all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
