Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining center water tank technology, and in particular to a machining center water tank with a filtration mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] When the drill bit of a horizontal machining center is machining parts, it needs to continuously rinse and cool the parts with running water. However, the water tanks of existing horizontal machining centers are not convenient for filtering water during use. Most of the water is poured directly into the tank, and impurities in the water may cause blockage of the rinsing pipe, affecting the delivery of rinsing water in the later stage. Therefore, filtration treatment is required when recycling rinsing water.
[0003] The existing announcement number CN217143276U, entitled "A Horizontal Machining Center Water Tank Filtering Device," includes: a base; a body, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the base; a water tank, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the body; and a filter assembly, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank. The filter assembly includes a water inlet pipe, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank. An installation plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the water inlet pipe, and a filter screen is fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation plate. This utility model provides a horizontal machining center water tank filtering device that filters water through a filter screen. After filtration, pulling a plate upwards causes the installation plate to slide upwards inside the water inlet pipe, allowing the filter screen to be removed for cleaning. The structure is simple and practical, effectively filtering water and preventing clogging. Furthermore, the filter screen is easy to clean after filtration.
[0004] However, the aforementioned machining center has a filter screen installed in the water tank to filter the recovered rinsing liquid. However, the filter screen filters a lot of processing debris over a long period of time. These debris accumulate on the filter screen, which reduces the filtration rate and affects the rate of subsequent recovery of the filtrate. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model solves the problems in related technologies and proposes a water tank for machining centers with a filtration mechanism.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a water tank for a machining center with a filtration mechanism, comprising a machining center, a water tank, a filter element, and a cleaning element. The water tank is installed at the bottom of the machining center, with an opening at the top of the water tank, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to one vertical end face of the water tank. The filter element is horizontally arranged inside the water tank, and the filter element includes a groove frame, which is horizontally fixedly installed on the vertical end face of the inner side of the water tank. A mesh is horizontally fixed inside the groove frame. A sliding rod is horizontally fixed inside the water tank above the groove frame, and a cleaning element is horizontally arranged on the sliding rod. The cleaning element includes a scraper plate, which is horizontally arranged between the sliding rod and the groove frame. A brush strip is fixed on the bottom surface of the scraper plate, and a magnetic rod is horizontally fixed on the other end face of the scraper plate. A perforated plate is horizontally arranged above the scraper plate, and the perforated plate is horizontally slidably assembled on the sliding rod.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment, a through groove is horizontally opened on the other end face of the water tank, and a lifting frame is horizontally fixed at the bottom of the through groove of the water tank.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, a screw is horizontally rotated inside the water tank on the upper side of the groove frame, and a motor is horizontally fixed on the vertical end face of the water tank, with the output end of the motor fixed to the end of the screw.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a screw cylinder is horizontally fixed on the top surface of the orifice plate, and the screw cylinder and the screw are assembled with threads passing through each other.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a vertical rod is vertically fixed on the top surface of the shovel plate, and the vertical rod slides vertically through the hole plate. A spring is vertically fixed on the top surface of the shovel plate, and the top of the spring is fixed on the bottom surface of the hole plate.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, a slot is provided on the inner wall of the water tank, and a block is fixed on the outer wall of the groove frame, with the block of the groove frame engaging in the slot of the water tank.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, a groove is formed on the top surface of the groove frame, and a filter cloth sheet is laid on the top surface of the groove frame. A magnetic strip is fixed on the bottom surface of the filter cloth sheet, and the magnetic strip is magnetically attracted to the groove of the groove frame.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During use, the cleaning fluid falls from the processing center into the water tank. The cleaning fluid falls into the water tank and is filtered through the mesh on the groove frame of the filter element in the water tank. Impurities in the cleaning fluid remain on the top surface of the filter element, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning fluid recovery. The cleaning element is activated and slides horizontally on the top surface of the filter element. The perforated plate on the cleaning element slides horizontally on the slide rod, driving the shovel plate to move laterally. The shovel plate pushes the impurities on the top surface of the filter element toward the through groove, pushing the impurities to be collected on the lifting frame. At the same time, the moving shovel plate uses brush strips and magnetic rods to further clean the impurities on the top surface of the filter element, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaned impurities. Thus, when filtering and recovering the cleaning fluid, the filter element is used for filtration first, and then the cleaning element is used to clean the impurities on the top surface of the filter element, ensuring the flow rate of the recovered cleaning fluid, avoiding the accumulation of debris on the filter screen which would reduce the filtration rate of the filter screen, and improving the rate of subsequent recovery of the filtrate.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a water tank for a machining center with a filtration mechanism includes a machining center 1, a water tank 2, a filter element 3, and a cleaning element 4. The water tank 2 is installed at the bottom of the machining center 1, and the top of the water tank 2 is open. A drain pipe 21 is fixedly connected to one vertical end face of the water tank 2. The filter element 3 is horizontally arranged inside the water tank 2. The filter element 3 includes a groove frame 31, which is horizontally fixedly installed on the inner vertical end face of the water tank 2. A mesh 32 is horizontally fixed inside the groove frame 31. A sliding rod 22 is horizontally fixed on the upper side of the groove frame 31, and a cleaning component 4 is horizontally arranged on the sliding rod 22. The cleaning component 4 includes a scraper plate 41, which is horizontally arranged between the sliding rod 22 and the groove frame 31. A brush strip 42 is fixed on the bottom surface of the scraper plate 41, and a magnetic rod 43 is horizontally fixed on the other end surface of the scraper plate 41. A perforated plate 45 is horizontally arranged above the scraper plate 41 and is horizontally slidably assembled on the sliding rod 22. A through groove is horizontally opened on the other end surface of the water tank 2, and the bottom of the through groove of the water tank 2... A lifting frame 26 is fixed horizontally. During use, the cleaning fluid used for rinsing falls from the machining center 1 into the water tank 2. The cleaning fluid falls into the water tank 2 and is filtered through the mesh 32 on the groove frame 31 of the filter element 3 in the water tank 2. Impurities in the cleaning fluid remain on the top surface of the filter element 3, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning fluid recovery. The cleaning element 4 is activated and slides horizontally on the top surface of the filter element 3. The perforated plate 45 on the cleaning element 4 slides horizontally on the slide rod 22, driving the shovel plate 41 to move laterally. The shovel plate 41 pushes the impurities on the top surface of the filter element 3 toward the through groove, and pushes the impurities to be collected on the lifting frame 26. At the same time, the moving shovel plate 41 uses the brush strip 42 and magnetic rod 43 to further clean the impurities on the top surface of the filter element 3, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaned impurities. Thus, when filtering and recovering the cleaning fluid, the filter element 3 is used for filtration first, and then the cleaning element 4 is used to clean the impurities on the top surface of the filter element 3, ensuring the flow rate of the recovered cleaning fluid and avoiding the accumulation of debris on the filter screen, which would reduce the filtration rate of the filter screen and improve the rate of subsequent filtrate recovery.
[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, a screw 24 rotates horizontally on the upper side of the groove frame 31 inside the water tank 2, and a motor 25 is horizontally fixed on the vertical end face of the water tank 2. The output end of the motor 25 is fixed to the end of the screw 24. A screw cylinder 47 is horizontally fixed on the top surface of the perforated plate 45, and the screw cylinder 47 and the screw 24 are threaded together. When in use, the motor 25 is started to drive the screw 24 to rotate, and the thread drives the perforated plate 45 to slide horizontally on the slide rod 22, which drives the cleaning component 4 to push debris and impurities horizontally on the filter component 3 to be discharged, ensuring the filtration effectiveness of the mesh 32.
[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, a vertical rod 44 is vertically fixed on the top surface of the shovel plate 41, and the vertical rod 44 is vertically slidably assembled on the perforated plate 45. A spring 46 is vertically fixed on the top surface of the shovel plate 41, and the top end of the spring 46 is fixed on the bottom surface of the perforated plate 45. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the cleaning of the shovel plate 41 in the cleaning component 4 during use, the deformation force of the spring 46 is used to push the shovel plate 41 down to press against the filter component 3, so as to completely push the impurities out of the filter component 3.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, a slot 23 is provided on the inner wall of the water tank 2, and a locking block is fixed on the outer wall of the groove frame 31. The locking block of the groove frame 31 is engaged in the slot 23 of the water tank 2. A groove is provided on the top surface of the groove frame 31, and a filter cloth sheet 33 is laid on the top surface of the groove frame 31. A magnetic strip 34 is fixed on the bottom surface of the filter cloth sheet 33, and the magnetic strip 34 is magnetically attracted to the groove of the groove frame 31. In order to further improve the filtration effect of the filter element 3, the filter cloth sheet 33 is laid on the top surface of the groove frame 31. The filter cloth sheet 33 is magnetically attracted to the groove of the groove frame 31 by the magnetic strip 34 to complete the fixed assembly.
[0030] In this embodiment, the cleaning fluid used for rinsing falls from the processing center 1 into the water tank 2. The cleaning fluid falls into the water tank 2 and is filtered by the mesh 32 on the groove frame 31 of the filter element 3 in the water tank 2. Impurities in the cleaning fluid remain on the top surface of the filter element 3, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning fluid recovery. The cleaning element 4 is activated and slides horizontally on the top surface of the filter element 3. The perforated plate 45 on the cleaning element 4 slides horizontally on the slide rod 22, driving the shovel plate 41 to move laterally. The shovel plate 41 pushes the impurities on the top surface of the filter element 3 toward the through groove, pushing the impurities to be collected on the lifting frame 26. At the same time, the moving shovel plate 41 uses the brush strip 42 and magnetic rod 43 to further clean the impurities on the top surface of the filter element 3, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaned impurities. Thus, when filtering and recovering the cleaning fluid, the filter element 3 is used for filtration first, and then the cleaning element 4 is used to clean the impurities on the top surface of the filter element 3, ensuring the flow rate of the recovered cleaning fluid.
[0031] The above are preferred embodiments of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any obvious improvements, substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
