Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wire cutting machine technology, specifically to a wire cutting device with a coolant recovery structure. Background Technology
[0002] A wire EDM machine is an electrical discharge machining device that uses a continuously moving fine metal wire to perform pulsed spark discharge on the workpiece to remove metal and achieve metal cutting and shaping. During the processing and use of a wire EDM machine, it is necessary to use wire EDM fluid (coolant) to reduce the friction between the metal and the screen during cutting, protect the machine's cutting tools from wear, suppress heat growth, and reduce thermal deformation. Wire EDM fluid (coolant) is generally used for fast wire EDM and medium wire EDM, while slow wire EDM usually uses pure water.
[0003] The current method of using coolant in wire EDM machines involves spraying it onto the surface of the workpiece and then discharging it together with the metal shavings generated during processing. The metal shavings and coolant are then sorted and recycled in a unified manner to achieve reuse. This method is cumbersome, time-consuming, and requires more manpower, material resources, and financial resources, making it very inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on the above description, this utility model provides a wire cutting machine with a coolant recovery structure to solve the problem that the existing wire cutting machine process of centralized discharge and recovery of coolant and metal waste is costly in terms of manpower, material resources and financial resources.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A wire cutting device with a coolant recovery structure includes a machine body, a cutting arm and a processing table installed on the outside of the machine body. A flow guide structure for collecting coolant is installed on the outside of the machine body. The drain end of the flow guide structure is connected to a pressurization pipe. The other end of the pressurization pipe is equipped with a bamboo tube for guiding the coolant out. The bamboo tube, the pressurization pipe and the flow guide structure allow the coolant to circulate around the processing table.
[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0007] Furthermore, a mounting groove is provided in the center of the surface of the machine body near the processing table. One end of the mounting groove passes through the machine body, and the other end is semi-circular.
[0008] Furthermore, the flow guiding structure includes a support part, a flow guiding bucket, and a filter screen. The support part has the same shape and size as the mounting groove and is inserted into the inner side of the mounting groove. The support part is hollow inside, and an opening is provided at the end of the inner wall away from the machine body.
[0009] Furthermore, the flow guide bucket is integrally formed on the surface of the support portion and extends toward the inner side of the support portion, and the filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner side of the flow guide bucket.
[0010] Furthermore, the axis of the guide bucket coincides with the axis of the semi-circular end of the support portion, and the smaller diameter end of the guide bucket faces the inner side of the support portion.
[0011] Furthermore, a double-through connector is provided through the side of the support part near the cutting arm, with the two ends of the double-through connector facing the inner and outer sides of the support part respectively, and the bamboo tube is installed at the end of the double-through connector away from the support part.
[0012] Furthermore, the pressurization pipeline includes a water pump, an inlet pipe, and a drain pipe. The water pump is installed inside the support, the inlet pipe is installed between the smaller diameter end of the guide bucket and the inlet end of the water pump, and the drain pipe is installed between the outlet end of the water pump and the other end of the double-connector.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0014] This invention utilizes a flow-guiding structure, combined with a pressurized pipeline and a bamboo-joint tube. After use, the coolant, having rinsed the workpiece, enters the flow-guiding structure for direct filtration. The filtered coolant then passes through the pressurized pipeline and bamboo-joint tube to rinse the workpiece again, creating a cycle for reuse. Metal shavings generated during filtration remain on the filter screen of the flow-guiding structure for separate processing later. The entire coolant recycling process is simple and fast, allowing for direct recycling and automation, effectively reducing the consumption of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and controlling the cost of coolant recycling and processing.
