Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to lathe technology, and more particularly to a cooling mechanism for a milling lathe. Background Technology
[0002] A lathe is a program-controlled automated machine tool that uses program code to control its movements and automatically machine parts. During machining, heat is generated by friction between the cutting tool and the workpiece; if the temperature is too high, it can damage the tool, so coolant is needed to cool it down. In existing technology, coolant typically falls with the metal chips into a collection tank below the cutting position on the CNC lathe. As the chips settle, the coolant on the surface can be pumped away for recycling.
[0003] However, because the coolant and iron filings are not separated and filtered, iron filings are easily mixed in during the recycling process, making the reused coolant impure. This can clog the coolant spray nozzles and cause the iron filings in the coolant to scratch the workpiece surface. Therefore, separating and filtering the coolant and iron filings is essential. Since the filter plate needs frequent cleaning, it must be removed. During installation, it must be positioned correctly to prevent displacement, which could cause iron filings to fall from the edges, affecting the purity of the reused coolant. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a cooling mechanism for a milling lathe.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] A cooling mechanism for a milling lathe includes a lathe body and a cooling box, wherein a liquid storage area is formed in the middle of the cooling box, and a filter plate is provided in the liquid storage area, and the filter plate is provided with filter holes.
[0007] The cooling box is provided with a support member for supporting the filter plate. The support member is provided with an elastic member for limiting the position of the filter plate. The filter plate is provided with a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole that cooperate with the elastic member.
[0008] In the cooling mechanism of this milling lathe of the present invention, the support member consists of a support column and a support block, and the elastic member is installed on the support block by bolts.
[0009] In the cooling mechanism of this milling lathe, the cooling box is provided with a positioning column, the positioning column is provided with a positioning head, the diameter of the positioning head is smaller than the diameter of the positioning column, and the filter plate is provided with a positioning hole that cooperates with the positioning head.
[0010] In the cooling mechanism of this milling lathe, the elastic element consists of a first elastic arm, a second elastic arm, and a mounting section for connecting the first elastic arm and the second elastic arm. The first elastic arm is provided with a first guide arc segment, and the second elastic arm is provided with a second guide arc segment. An elastic region is formed between the first guide arc segment and the second guide arc segment. The first elastic arm is disposed in a first mounting hole, and the second elastic arm is disposed in a second mounting hole.
[0011] In the cooling mechanism of this milling lathe, the second elastic arm is provided with a blocking section and a vertical section. The blocking section is located at the upper end of the filter plate, and the vertical section is located in the second mounting hole.
[0012] In the cooling mechanism of this milling lathe of the present invention, a break groove is formed in the middle of the mounting section, and the bolt is disposed in the break groove.
[0013] In the cooling mechanism of this milling lathe, the mounting section has symmetrically arranged protrusions on both sides. The protrusions are composed of arc-shaped sections and symmetrically arranged inclined sections, and a compression area is formed in the middle of the protrusions.
[0014] The cooling mechanism of this milling lathe, which implements the present invention, has the following advantages: The cooling mechanism of this milling lathe limits the position of the filter plate by using an elastic element in conjunction with the first and second mounting holes on the filter plate. This not only quickly restricts the position of the filter plate, raising it to a higher position for easier filtration of coolant and waste residue, but also allows for installation by simply pressing it down, without the need for other auxiliary tools, facilitating the installation and removal of the filter plate.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the cooling mechanism of this milling lathe includes a lathe body 1 and a cooling tank 2. A liquid storage area 3 is formed in the middle of the cooling tank 2. The liquid storage area 3 is used to collect the used coolant, which can be filtered through a filter plate 4 for reuse. A filter plate 4 is provided in the liquid storage area 3, and the filter plate 4 has filter holes 5.
[0024] Inside the cooling box 2, there is a positioning post 6, and a positioning head 7 is provided on the positioning post 6. The diameter of the positioning head 7 is smaller than the diameter of the positioning post 6. The filter plate 4 is provided with a positioning hole 8 that cooperates with the positioning head 7.
[0025] The cooling box 2 is provided with a support member 9 for supporting the filter plate 4. The support member 9 is provided with an elastic member 10 for limiting the position of the filter plate 4. The filter plate 4 is provided with a first mounting hole 11 and a second mounting hole 12 that cooperate with the elastic member 10.
[0026] The elastic element 10 consists of a first elastic arm 13, a second elastic arm 14, and a mounting section 15 for connecting the first elastic arm 13 and the second elastic arm 14. The first elastic arm 13 is provided with a first guide arc segment 16, and the second elastic arm 14 is provided with a second guide arc segment 17. The first guide arc segment 16 and the second guide arc segment 17 are used to cooperate with the first mounting hole 11 and the second mounting hole 12, so as to facilitate the installation of the filter plate 4 on the support member 9 and limit its position by the elastic element 10.
[0027] An elastic region 18 is formed between the first guide arc segment 16 and the second guide arc segment 17. When the first guide arc segment 16 and the second guide arc segment 17 are subjected to force, they both move towards the center. The first elastic arm 13 is disposed in the first mounting hole 11, and the second elastic arm 14 is disposed in the second mounting hole 12.
[0028] The second elastic arm 14 is provided with a blocking section 19 and a vertical section 20. The blocking section 19 is located at the upper end of the filter plate 4, and the vertical section 20 is located inside the second mounting hole 12. The blocking section 19 is used to block the elastic force from the protrusion 21, thereby limiting the position of the filter plate 4.
[0029] A break groove 22 is formed in the middle of the mounting section 15, and a bolt 23 is placed in the break groove 22. Symmetrically arranged protrusions 21 are provided on both sides of the mounting section 15. Each protrusion 21 is composed of an arc-shaped section 24 and a symmetrically arranged inclined section 26. A compression area 25 is formed in the middle of the protrusion 21.
[0030] The support member 9 consists of a support column 27 and a support block 28, and the elastic member 10 is installed on the support block 28 by bolts 23.
[0031] When installing the filter plate 4, the first mounting hole 11 on the filter plate 4 mates with the first guide arc segment 16, and the second mounting hole 12 mates with the second guide arc segment 17, while maintaining the positioning hole 8 in contact with the positioning head 7. The first guide arc segment 16 and the second guide arc segment 17 move towards the elastic region 18, causing the blocking segment 19 to be positioned at the upper limit of the filter plate 4. The filter plate 4 maintains pressure on the protruding portion 21, and then the two inclined segments 26 move to both ends, maintaining the blocking segment 19 at the upper limit of the filter plate 4. The protruding portion 21 supports the filter plate.
[0032] When it is necessary to remove the filter plate, simply move the second elastic arm 14 toward the elastic area 18 so that the blocking section 19 enters the second mounting hole 12. The blocking section 19 no longer restricts the filter plate 4, so the filter plate 4 can be removed for cleaning or replacement.
[0033] Alternatively, a notch can be made on one edge of the filter plate 4, depending on the actual situation. The notch should be located at the lower end of the drain pipe, with the end of the cooling box 2 higher to facilitate the removal of the filter plate 4. A handle can also be provided on the filter plate 4 for easy removal.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
