Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of machining cooling technology, specifically a machining cooling pipeline system with a thermostat cover. Background Technology

[0002] A car thermostat, also known as a throttle, is a valve that controls the flow path of coolant. As an automatic temperature regulating device, it typically contains a temperature-sensing component that opens or closes the flow of air, gas, or liquid through expansion or contraction. Its function is to automatically adjust the amount of water entering the radiator based on the engine coolant temperature, changing the water circulation range to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity and ensure the engine operates within a suitable temperature range.

[0003] As a core component of the temperature control system, the thermostat's cover is made from brass rods through multiple precision processes. By sequentially drawing, drilling, and polishing one end of the brass rod, a semi-finished blank can be obtained. Further finishing of the semi-finished blank yields the automotive thermostat cover.

[0004] During the machining of the gland, the cutting tool and the workpiece generate a lot of heat, which requires the coolant to continuously cool the machined parts. At the same time, the coolant needs to lubricate and prevent rust. Due to cost and the need to save waste, the coolant needs to be recycled. Most of them choose low-cost soluble oils. Soluble oils have good lubricity and can effectively cool and lubricate the cutting workpiece and the cutting tool. However, soluble oils can breed bacteria, causing the coolant to turn black and smelly, resulting in a shorter service life. They also cool slowly, requiring a large amount of coolant to cool naturally. Moreover, the filtration effect is poor. Polishing the outer diameter will create small impurities with poor filtration, causing impurities in the coolant to affect the cutting quality and the surface quality of the workpiece. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of existing machining coolants being prone to microbial growth and deterioration, having a short service life, slow cooling, and containing many impurities that affect cutting quality during circulation, this utility model provides a machining cooling pipeline system with a thermostat gland.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A machining cooling pipeline system for a thermostat gland includes a collection box and a housing. The collection box is equipped with a filter screen. A motor is connected to the top of the housing, and a low-pressure pump is connected to the output end of the motor. The suction port of the low-pressure pump is connected to the collection box. A sieving device capable of separating the coolant from the low-pressure pump is connected to the housing. Several glass cooling tubes for guiding and filtering the coolant are connected below the sieving device. Ultraviolet lamps capable of irradiating the glass cooling tubes to sterilize the coolant are provided on the sides of the glass cooling tubes. A storage tank capable of receiving and storing the coolant is provided at the lower end of the glass cooling tubes. A high-pressure pump for pumping coolant for cutting is provided on the side wall of the storage tank.

[0008] The screening device includes a fixed frame connected and installed on the housing, and a conical screen is rotatably connected and installed inside the fixed frame. The small end of the conical screen is connected to the motor drive via a belt.

[0009] A further improvement of this invention is that heat sinks are connected and installed on both sides of the glass cooling pipe.

[0010] A further improvement of this invention is that a fan is connected and installed on the housing to accelerate the airflow between the heat sinks.

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that the bottom of the box is connected and installed with several support legs that can buffer and absorb shock.

[0012] A further improvement of this invention is that the side wall of the storage box is provided with an activated carbon adsorption filter plate that can be pushed and pulled for cleaning and replacement.

[0013] A further improvement of this invention is that a storage box for storing filter chips is connected and installed on the housing.

[0014] A further improvement of this invention is that the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp has a wavelength of 200-280nm.

[0015] A further improvement of this invention is that the inside of the conical screen is spiral.

[0016] A further improvement of this utility model is that the glass cooling tube is arranged in a zigzag shape, and the ultraviolet lamp is arranged between adjacent bends of the glass cooling tube.

[0017] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] In use, the cutting fluid used to cool the machining area is collected in a collection tank. A filter screen removes larger chips. A low-pressure pump pumps the coolant from the collection tank into a screening device, where it enters through the small opening of a conical screen. A motor drives the conical screen to rotate, separating the coolant through the screen. Solid impurities are screened out through the large opening of the conical screen. The filtered coolant enters a glass cooling tube, where it is sterilized by ultraviolet light. It then flows into a storage tank, and a high-pressure pump pumps the clean coolant to the cutting area between the tool and the workpiece. This device achieves efficient separation of solid impurities, kills microorganisms in the coolant, prevents the growth of algae and other microorganisms, extends the coolant's service life, improves the purity of the circulating coolant, and enhances cutting quality through a screening device and ultraviolet light irradiating the coolant through the glass cooling tube.

[0024] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0025] like Figure 1-3As shown, a machining cooling pipeline system for a thermostat gland includes a collection box 1 and a box body 2. The collection box 1 is covered with a filter screen 3 capable of filtering larger chips. A motor 4 is connected and installed at the top of the box body 2. A low-pressure pump 5 is connected and installed at the output end of the motor 4. The suction port of the low-pressure pump 5 is connected to the bottom of the collection box 1, enabling it to draw coolant containing impurities from the collection box 1 at a low speed and high flow rate through the pipeline. A screening device 6 is connected and installed inside the box body 2 to separate the solid and liquid components of the coolant from the low-pressure pump 5. Below the 6, several glass cooling pipes 7 are connected and installed to guide filtered coolant. The glass cooling pipes 7 have a flat and long diameter. An ultraviolet lamp 9 is connected and installed on the side of the glass cooling pipe 7 to sterilize the coolant by irradiating the glass cooling pipe 7. The lower end of the glass cooling pipe 7 is provided with a storage tank 10 that can hold and store coolant. A high-pressure pump 11 is provided on the side wall of the storage tank 10 to pump coolant for cutting. The output flow rate of the high-pressure pump 11 is equal to the output flow rate of the low-pressure pump 5. The clean coolant is sprayed onto the processing position through the pipe.

[0026] The screening device 6 includes a fixed frame 12 connected and installed on the housing 2. The fixed frame 12 is hollow inside. Conical screens 13 with small inlets and large outlets are rotatably connected to both sides of the fixed frame 12 via bearings. The bearings are sealed by oil seals. A large pulley is provided at the small end of the conical screen 13, which is connected to a small pulley on the output shaft of the motor 4 via a belt 14. This makes the rotation speed of the conical screen 13 relatively low. The low-pressure pump 5 injects into the conical screen 13 through a pipe. The diameter of the pipe is slightly smaller than that of the inlet end of the conical screen 13 to prevent interference with the rotation of the conical screen 13 and to reduce the entry of impurities in the air into the coolant. This allows the chips to be thrown out towards the outlet along the side wall of the conical screen 13 under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, while the coolant flows downward into the glass cooling pipe 7.

[0027] In use, the cooling fluid used to cool the cutting area is collected in the collection tank 1. Drilling and cutting will produce larger chips, which are filtered out by the filter screen 3. The low-pressure pump pumps the coolant from the collection tank into the screening device 6, which enters through the small opening of the conical screen 13. The motor 4 drives the conical screen 13 to rotate, separating the coolant under the rotation of the screen. The remaining solid impurities are screened out through the large opening of the screen 13. The filtered coolant enters the glass cooling tube 7, where it is sterilized by the ultraviolet lamp 9. Then it flows into the storage tank 10. The high-pressure pump 11 pumps the clean coolant back to the cutting area between the tool and the workpiece for cooling, and the above cycle is repeated continuously. This device achieves efficient separation of solid impurities, kills microorganisms in the coolant, prevents the growth of algae and other microorganisms, extends the service life of the coolant, improves the purity of the circulating coolant, and improves cutting quality by using the screening device 6 and the ultraviolet lamp 9 to irradiate the coolant through the glass cooling tube 7.

[0028] It should be noted that because the coolant will evaporate, water and coolant stock solution need to be added regularly, and the coolant concentration should be checked regularly and replenished in time to avoid affecting the cutting quality.

[0029] The glass cooling pipe 7 has heat sinks 8 installed on both sides to conduct heat. The aluminum heat sinks 8 can conduct heat away from the glass cooling pipe 7, increase the contact area with the air, and facilitate faster cooling.

[0030] It should be noted that the heat sink 8 needs to cover the glass cooling pipe 7 together with the ultraviolet lamp 9 to prevent the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lamp 9 from causing harm to people. The ultraviolet lamp 9 is a cold light source and the heat it emits is negligible and will not affect the cooling of the coolant.

[0031] The housing 2 is equipped with a fan 15, which is embedded in one side of the glass cooling pipe 7 and accelerates the airflow between the heat sinks 8. The fan 15 is driven by a flat motor and has a protective cover on the outside. It can improve the airflow rate, accelerate the cooling of the heat sinks 8, improve the cooling effect of the coolant, and can also detect the temperature of the coolant in the glass cooling pipe 7 in real time and automatically adjust the speed of the fan 15 to improve the ability to maintain temperature stability. When the coolant temperature is low, the fan 15 stops rotating, saving energy and protecting the environment.

[0032] The bottom of the housing 2 is equipped with several shock-absorbing feet 16. These feet reduce vibration of moving parts, decrease noise, and allow space at the bottom for easy cleaning.

[0033] The storage tank 10 features an activated carbon adsorption filter plate 17 on its side wall, which can be pushed and pulled for cleaning and replacement. The activated carbon adsorption filter plate 17 has a sealing gasket to prevent coolant leakage and a handle for easy pushing and pulling. It can further adsorb and filter particulate impurities such as debris in the coolant, making the coolant cleaner and improving cutting quality. The push-pull design allows for convenient periodic replacement.

[0034] The housing 2 is equipped with a storage box 18 for storing filtered shavings. This box stores the shavings, allows for regular cleaning, and prevents shavings from splashing. The storage box 18 can be designed to be enclosed to prevent dust from entering the coolant and also to better prevent shavings from splashing.

[0035] Among them, UV lamp 9 emits ultraviolet light in the UVC band (200-280nm). It uses a Light Sources brand UV germicidal lamp tube, model GH1148T5VH. UVC specifically refers to short-wave ultraviolet light in the 100-280 nanometer wavelength range, with the 253.7nm wavelength exhibiting the highest sterilization efficiency. This light can penetrate microbial cell membranes, causing nucleic acids to break down and lose their ability to replicate, achieving complete inactivation. This improves the sterilization effect on coolant, prevents coolant deterioration due to microbial growth, and extends the coolant's service life.

[0036] The inner wall of the conical screen 13 is spiral-shaped. This allows the debris filtered by the conical screen 13 to be gradually thrown out along the spiral direction under the action of centrifugal motion, extending the filtration path of the debris in the coolant, improving the filtration effect of the coolant, and reducing the amount of coolant residue in the debris.

[0037] The glass cooling tubes 7 are arranged in a zigzag pattern, similar to a continuous S-shape, which facilitates the downward flow of coolant along the tubes and prevents impurities from remaining inside. Ultraviolet lamps 9 are connected and installed between adjacent bends in the glass cooling tubes 7. Extending the length of the glass cooling tubes 7, while ensuring the coolant can fall naturally into the storage tank 10 under gravity, prolongs the time the coolant is irradiated by the ultraviolet lamps 9 within the tubes, thus improving the sterilization effect.

[0038] The controller can be a common PLC controller, such as FANUC. By setting the program, it can be linked with the machine tool to operate automatically. When cutting, the device will be turned on to circulate cooling to cool the cutting parts. The output of coolant can be adjusted according to the spindle speed.

[0039] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
