[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of cutting fluid supply technology, and more particularly to a cutting fluid supply device and a processing equipment including the cutting fluid. Background Technology

[0002] In the machining industry, prolonged continuous machining operations cause changes in the concentration of cutting fluid in the circulation system, and the cutting fluid is also continuously consumed. Currently, most production units manage cutting fluid through manual inspection. This involves using standard instruments to test the cutting fluid concentration at fixed times each day and manually adjusting the concentration based on the test results. In addition, operators must periodically check the fluid level, replenish the circulation system with cutting fluid, and continuously monitor the concentration fluctuations in the system after replenishment to ensure the quality of the machined products.

[0003] In this traditional operation method of manually detecting and adjusting the cutting fluid concentration and continuously replenishing the circulation system, manual inspection and operation occupy extra working hours, reduce production efficiency, increase labor costs, and due to the uncontrollability of human factors, problems such as detection errors and improper adjustments often occur, leading to an increase in product defect rate.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0036] Furthermore, the term "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. This disclosure provides a cutting fluid supply device that can be used to improve the uncontrollable factors in traditional manual replenishment of cutting fluid.

[0038] The cutting fluid supply device disclosed herein includes a first water tank 100, a detection unit 200, a storage unit 300, and an adjustment unit 400. The first water tank 100 stores the pre-mixed cutting fluid, which circulates through an inlet pipe 120 and an outlet pipe 110. A circulation pump assembly 130 is installed on the outlet pipe 110 to pump the cutting fluid to the machining equipment 10. The circulation pump assembly 130 can pump the pre-mixed cutting fluid of a preset concentration from the first water tank 100 through the outlet pipe 110. After passing through the machining equipment 10, the cutting fluid flows back to the first water tank 100 through the inlet pipe 120.

[0039] Understandably, the detection unit 200 is used to detect the cutting fluid concentration in the outlet pipe 110 and the cutting fluid content in the first water tank 100. The detection unit 200 can promptly obtain data on the cutting fluid concentration entering the machining equipment 10 and the cutting fluid level in the first water tank 100. Therefore, based on this concentration data and cutting fluid content, subsequent operations for the cutting fluid in the first water tank 100 are further determined.

[0040] Furthermore, the storage unit 300 includes a first adjustment tank 310 and a second adjustment tank 320 connected to the first water tank 100. The first adjustment tank 310 stores a first liquid, and the second adjustment tank 320 stores a second liquid. The first liquid and the second liquid are of different types, allowing them to be set according to the specific ratio of the cutting fluid. For example, in one embodiment, the first liquid is pure water, and the second liquid is the cutting fluid concentrate.

[0041] When the cutting fluid concentration in the first water tank 100 is too high, pure water from the first adjustment tank 310 can be injected into it to reduce the concentration and restore it to the preset range. Conversely, when the cutting fluid concentration in the first water tank 100 is too low, undiluted cutting fluid from the second adjustment tank 320 can be injected into it to reduce the concentration and restore it to the preset range.

[0042] Similarly, when the cutting fluid content in the first water tank 100 is insufficient, the first liquid and the second liquid can be injected into the first water tank 100 simultaneously according to a preset ratio, so that the cutting fluid content in the first water tank 100 is restored to the preset level. Therefore, it can effectively avoid processing interruptions or ratio errors caused by untimely manual replenishment.

[0043] Understandably, the detection unit 200 monitors the cutting fluid concentration in the water outlet pipe 110 in real time. When the concentration deviates from the preset range (too high or too low), the adjustment unit 400 automatically controls the corresponding adjustment tank (pure water or original liquid) to replenish the liquid to the first water tank 100, and the concentration can be quickly restored to a reasonable range without manual intervention.

[0044] In one embodiment, the detection unit 200 includes a concentration detector 210 for detecting the concentration of the cutting fluid and a level gauge 220 for detecting the water level. The level gauge 220 is disposed in the first water tank 100 and is used to detect the amount of cutting fluid in the tank.

[0045] The concentration detector 210 is installed on the outlet pipe 110 and located at the outlet end of the circulating pump group 130. By installing the concentration detector 210 at the outlet end of the circulating pump group 130, the concentration data of the cutting fluid entering the machining equipment 10 can be accurately obtained. Therefore, the mixing ratio of the cutting fluid concentration in the first water tank 100 can be achieved more accurately, and the quality of the cutting fluid during actual use in the machining center can be guaranteed.

[0046] Furthermore, by placing the concentration detector 210 at the outlet of the circulating pump group 130, the concentration data of the cutting fluid about to enter the processing equipment 10 can be directly obtained. This can effectively avoid detection errors caused by residual liquid in the pipeline or uneven mixing, ensuring that the feedback concentration value is highly consistent with the actual state of the cutting fluid during processing.

[0047] In one embodiment, a first pump body 311 is provided on the connecting pipe between the first adjusting tank 310 and the water inlet pipe 120, and a second pump body 321 is provided on the connecting pipe between the second adjusting tank 320 and the water inlet pipe 120. The first pump body 311 and the second pump body 321 can be diaphragm metering pumps. The diaphragm metering pumps can accurately control the content of liquid entering the first water tank 100, thereby improving the accuracy of the concentration control of the cutting fluid in the first water tank 100.

[0048] Understandably, a level gauge 220 is installed in the first water tank 100 to dynamically track the consumption of cutting fluid. When the fluid level falls below a threshold, a fluid replenishment command is triggered to ensure continuous fluid supply to the system. This prevents the circulating pump unit 130 from running dry due to low fluid levels, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0049] Furthermore, this disclosure can also combine data from the concentration detector 210 to simultaneously adjust the mixing ratio when replenishing the cutting fluid, maintaining concentration stability. And through the linkage between concentration and liquid level adjustment, it can support more complex control logic.

[0050] Specifically, when the liquid level drops but the concentration is normal, the mixed solution can be added according to the original ratio; when the liquid level is normal but the concentration is abnormal, pure water or the original solution can be added separately for fine adjustment; when both the liquid level and concentration are abnormal, the amount of liquid added and the ratio can be adjusted together to achieve efficient correction.

[0051] In one embodiment, the adjustment unit 400 is controllably connected to the detection unit 200 and the storage unit 300. Based on the detection data from the detection unit 200, the adjustment unit 400 controllably pumps the first liquid and / or the second liquid into the first water tank 100.

[0052] Understandably, by flexibly adjusting the ratio of the first adjustment box 310 and the second adjustment box 320, the device can be dynamically adapted to meet the different requirements of cutting fluid concentration for different processing techniques, which can greatly improve the versatility of the device.

[0053] Meanwhile, the closed-loop circulation of the inlet pipe 120 and outlet pipe 110, combined with the circulation pump group 130, enables the reuse of cutting fluid, which can effectively reduce the frequency of new fluid preparation and waste fluid discharge.

[0054] Furthermore, the adjustment unit 400 includes a receiving module 410, a processing module 420, and an execution module 430 that are electrically connected to each other. The receiving module 410 is electrically connected to the detection unit 200, and the execution module 430 is electrically connected to the first pump body 311 and the second pump body 321. It should be noted that the processing module 420 uses a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The PLC can adapt to oil, water vapor, and electromagnetic interference in the cutting fluid environment to ensure long-term stable operation of the system.

[0055] In one embodiment, to improve the effectiveness of the device in actual use, an operating console is also permitted, which is electrically connected to the processing module 420. The operating console is equipped with a controllable human-machine interface and an audible and visual alarm device.

[0056] Understandably, operators can view key parameters such as cutting fluid concentration, level, pump operation status, and system fault logs in real time through a human-machine interface, without relying on external equipment or complex software, significantly reducing the cost of manual inspections. At the same time, operators are also allowed to manually set concentration thresholds, replenishment ratios, alarm parameters, etc., according to machining process requirements, achieving flexible control.

[0057] Furthermore, through the audible and visual alarm device, when abnormalities such as excessive concentration, low liquid level, pump overload, or sensor failure occur, a specific frequency alarm can be emitted through a buzzer or speaker, which can be quickly detected even if the operator is far away from the equipment, thus improving safety.

[0058] Based on this, this disclosure also provides a machining apparatus 10, which utilizes a cutting fluid supply device as described in any of the above embodiments. The cutting fluid supply device further improves the machining accuracy of the machining apparatus 10 during actual use.

[0059] In summary, this disclosure provides a cutting fluid supply device and its application in processing equipment. The detection unit 200 collects cutting fluid concentration and level data in real time, and the adjustment unit 400 automatically triggers fluid replenishment or ratio correction to ensure the cutting fluid is always in optimal operating condition. By placing the concentration detector 210 at the outlet of the circulating pump group 130, the concentration of the cutting fluid entering the processing equipment 10 is directly detected, avoiding interference from residual fluid in the pipeline. The storage unit 300 independently stores pure water and the original fluid, and the replenishment path is controlled separately by dual pumps to avoid cross-contamination. Furthermore, the adjustment unit 400 is based on PLC logic control, providing strong anti-interference capabilities.

[0060] Therefore, it can effectively improve the problems of human error, untimely mixing, and frequent equipment maintenance in traditional cutting fluid management.

[0061] The specific embodiments described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
