Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5A machining center with circulating cooling includes a base 1, a machining center body 2 fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1, a controller 3 provided on the right side of the front of the machining center body 2, a three-color warning light 4 provided on the upper right side of the machining center body 2, a circulating coil 5 provided on the outside of the clamping table at the bottom inner side of the machining center body 2, a water storage tank 6 fixedly connected to the right side of the machining center body 2, a submersible pump 8 installed on the bottom inner side of the water storage tank 6 through a support member, and an inlet pipe 9 provided on the lower side of the submersible pump 8.
[0025] The inner wall of the water storage tank 6 is in contact with the cooler 10. The lower end of the cooler 10 is fixedly connected to the plug 11, which is slidably connected to the water storage tank 6. The inner wall of the water storage tank 6 is slidably connected to the plug plate 12, which is slidably connected to the plug 11. The vertical part of the plug plate 12 is welded with a spring 13, and the other end of the spring 13 is welded to the water storage tank 6. The right end of the plug plate 12 is fixedly connected to the end plate 14, which is in contact with the water storage tank 6. The end plate 14 facilitates the movement of the plug plate 12 by pulling it.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 A return pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water storage tank 6. The return pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the machining center body 2 and the circulation coil 5. The return pipe 7 ensures the normal return flow of coolant. The inlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the water storage tank 6, the machining center body 2, and the circulation coil 5. The inlet pipe 9 allows for the delivery of coolant.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 A stirring mechanism 15 is provided on the water storage tank 6. The stirring mechanism 15 includes a motor 151. The motor 151 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the water storage tank 6. The output shaft of the motor 151 is rotatably connected to the water storage tank 6. The output shaft of the motor 151 is fixedly connected to a stirring plate 152. A spring 153 is welded to the inner left side wall of the water storage tank 6. An agitator 154 is welded to the right end of the spring 153. A contact ball 155 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 151. The contact ball 155 contacts the agitator 154. Through the arrangement of the motor 151, stirring plate 152 and other structures, the coolant can be stirred. Under the action of the contact ball 155 and agitator 154, the coolant can be agitated to improve the subsequent cooling efficiency of the coolant.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5Multiple agitator plates 152 are provided, and the multiple agitator plates 152 are arranged in a ring array on the output shaft of motor 151. The agitator plates 152 can be used to stir the coolant. Two springs 153 are provided, and the two springs 153 are symmetrically distributed on the oscillator plate 154. The oscillator plate 154 can be connected and used by the springs 153.
[0029] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In use, by pulling the end plate 14 to move to the right, the insert plate 12 is driven to slide along the inner wall of the water storage tank 6, causing the spring 13 to deform. Then, the cooler 10 is pushed to contact the inner wall of the water storage tank 6, so that the insert block 11 is inserted into the water storage tank 6. The end plate 14 is then released so that the spring 13 returns to its original deformation, pushing the insert plate 12 through the insert block 11 and limiting the insert block 11. This allows the insert block 11 to drive the cooler 10 to be in a stable position. Under the action of the cooler 10, the coolant can be cooled and used.
[0030] By installing the cover of the water storage tank 6, the contact ball 155 comes into contact with the agitator 154. The motor 151 is started to drive the output shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the agitator 152 to rotate, agitating the coolant. When the output shaft of the motor 151 rotates, it can drive the contact ball 155 to rotate, causing the contact ball 155 to squeeze the agitator 154. Under the action of force, the agitator 154 moves, causing the spring 153 to deform. When the contact ball 155 disengages from the agitator 154, the spring 153 returns to its original deformation, causing the agitator 154 to return to its original position. This allows the agitator 154 to assist in agitating the coolant, thereby improving the flow efficiency of the coolant and ensuring a good cooling effect.
[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
