Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of machining equipment, and in particular to the integrated structure of the cutting fluid tank hydraulic station and the CNC machining center. Background Technology

[0002] In CNC machining centers, the cutting fluid tank is used to provide filtered cutting fluid to the internal cutting fluid circulation system, while the hydraulic station is used to provide hydraulic power to the machining fixture. The two belong to different systems and are generally provided by different manufacturers.

[0003] Currently, the hydraulic power unit and the cutting fluid tank are arranged separately, which not only requires additional ground space, but also results in a more dispersed pipeline layout, leading to a complex pipeline structure and greater maintenance difficulty. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide an integrated structure for a cutting fluid tank hydraulic station to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] According to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, the integrated structure of the cutting fluid tank hydraulic station includes:

[0006] The cutting fluid tank is equipped with a reinforced platform;

[0007] An elevated support frame is fixedly connected to the reinforcing platform. The elevated support frame has a platform away from the reinforcing platform, which is used to support the hydraulic station. The edge of the platform is surrounded by a guardrail, and the guardrail is hinged with multiple height-blocking plates. The height-blocking plates have several pipe holes for inserting pipelines connected to the hydraulic station. The pipelines are connected to a snap-fit ​​device on the side closer to the hydraulic station, and the size of the snap-fit ​​device is larger than the size of the pipe hole.

[0008] The integrated structure of the cutting fluid tank hydraulic station according to the embodiments of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, this utility model uses a raised support to stack the hydraulic station body on top of the cutting fluid tank, which can save a lot of space. Furthermore, the addition of height baffles can temporarily increase the height of the enclosure, reducing the risk of the hydraulic station falling. The reason for using multiple height baffles to temporarily increase the height of the enclosure, rather than directly increasing the height of the guardrail, is that when the hydraulic station malfunctions, it needs to be removed from the support platform for repair. If the height of the enclosure is not adjustable, this would increase the risk of the hydraulic station falling. The difficulty of moving the hydraulic station is significant. The pipes connecting the hydraulic station and the CNC machining center all pass through the pipe holes in the baffle plates from the outside in. Before moving the hydraulic station, the pipes connected to the CNC machining center need to be removed, and all baffle plates need to be flipped down to allow sufficient space for removal. The removed pipes are secured in the pipe holes by clamps, thus maintaining the pipes' placement for easy management. When the hydraulic station is placed back on the support platform, the proper arrangement of the pipes allows maintenance personnel to quickly reconnect them, reducing the risk of connection errors and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cutting fluid tank is provided with an output pump directly below the support platform.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the support platform is provided with ventilation holes, and the elevated support is connected to a cooling fan below the support platform, the cooling fan having an airflow direction of up and down.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the support platform is polygonal, and the number of the baffle plates is consistent with the number of the edge strips of the support platform.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, two adjacent height-blocking plates are locked together by a locking assembly, which is used to keep all height-blocking plates vertically positioned.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the elevated support is provided with multiple support legs, and the platform and the reinforced platform are connected through the support legs.

[0014] The CNC machining center according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0015] The above-mentioned integrated structure of the cutting fluid tank hydraulic station;

[0016] The CNC machine tool is equipped with a cutting fluid circulation system and a clamping system. The cutting fluid circulation system is connected to the cutting fluid tank, and the clamping system is connected to the hydraulic station.

[0017] The CNC machining center according to the embodiments of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: it can effectively save the floor space of the CNC machining center, optimize the machine tool layout, and improve the convenience of maintenance.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the CNC machine tool is provided with a heat dissipation duct, and the hydraulic station is located on the path of the heat dissipation duct.

[0019] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the integrated structure of the cutting fluid tank and hydraulic station according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a cutting fluid tank 100, a hydraulic station (not shown in the figure) and a raised support 200. The cutting fluid tank 100 is mainly used for filtering and storing cutting fluid. The cutting fluid tank 100 is equipped with an output pump 120 for discharging fluid. The volume of the cutting fluid tank 100 is generally 4 to 10 times the output volume of the output pump 120 per minute.

[0030] To filter impurities and debris from the cutting fluid and improve its purity, a filter assembly, such as a backflushing roller chip conveyor, is installed in the cutting fluid tank 100. During operation, cutting chips enter the sludge tank along with the cutting fluid. Larger chips fall into the waste collection box, while smaller solid impurities (including cutting chips) mix into the cutting fluid. The cutting fluid enters from the inlet of the cutting fluid tank 100 and is filtered by a rotating filter roller. Solid impurities clog the filter screen of the filter roller. As the filter roller rotates continuously, scrapers continuously contact the outer wall of the roller, scraping off the solid impurities adhering to the surface of the filter roller and causing them to fall onto the chip conveyor plate. Simultaneously, the backflushing pump starts, flushing the filter roller with cutting fluid at a certain pressure from the opposite direction, washing the fine particles clogged on the filter screen onto the chip conveyor plate. Driven by a chain conveyor belt, the chip conveyor plate discharges the solid impurities to the chip discharge port. A receiving trolley is installed below the chip discharge port to collect the waste.

[0031] In addition, hydraulic power units are primarily used to provide hydraulic power, serving as the power source for fixture systems, tool changing systems, and table drive and positioning systems. The hydraulic pump in a hydraulic power unit converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy; common types of hydraulic pumps include gear pumps, vane pumps, and piston pumps.

[0032] Hydraulic pumps generate heat during operation. For example, poor oil quality or impurities in the oil circuit can easily lead to blockages or increased friction, resulting in poor lubrication and heat generation. Similarly, overload or sudden increases in load can cause the hydraulic pump to experience greater resistance and load, raising its operating temperature. If the pump's cooling is insufficient, the oil viscosity decreases with rising temperature, affecting power loss and precision control, thus impacting system performance. Furthermore, increased pump temperature affects the material properties of seals, accelerating seal aging and leakage, ultimately causing hydraulic system failure. Experience shows that most hydraulic power unit failures are caused by abnormal temperature rises; ensuring oil quality and stable heat dissipation significantly extends the lifespan of the hydraulic power unit.

[0033] Unlike existing technologies, this invention requires the hydraulic station to be stacked on top of the cutting fluid tank 100. Therefore, the cutting fluid tank 100 will be subjected to pressure from the hydraulic station. Thus, the cutting fluid tank 100 needs to have its main structure reinforced at the corresponding position where the hydraulic station is stacked. For example, high-grade steel can be used to manufacture the reinforcing platform 110, and reinforcing ribs can be set to improve the rigidity of the reinforcing platform 110.

[0034] Correspondingly, a raised support 200 is welded onto the reinforced platform 110. The raised support 200 includes a base 210, a guardrail 220, and multiple support legs 230. In this embodiment, the base 210 is rectangular in shape, and support legs 230 are provided at the four corners of its bottom surface. All support legs 230 are welded to the reinforced platform 110. The guardrail 220 surrounds the edge of the base 210 and is relatively short, but a height baffle 300 can be added to adjust the height of the enclosure.

[0035] It is understood that the shape of the base 210 can also be circular, triangular, pentagonal, etc., and is not limited to the above embodiments. When the shape of the base 210 is polygonal, the number of height-blocking plates 300 is consistent with the number of side strips of the base 210. That is, when the base 210 is rectangular, there are four height-blocking plates 300, and all four height-blocking plates 300 are hinged to the top surface of the guardrail 220 in the vertical direction to meet the height adjustment of the fence. When the shape of the base 210 is circular, the number of height-blocking plates 300 should be four or more, and all height-blocking plates 300 are hinged to the top surface of the guardrail 220 in the vertical direction to meet the height adjustment of the fence.

[0036] Since the platform 210 of the elevated support 200 is used to support the hydraulic station, the guardrail 220 serves to provide a certain degree of fall protection, limiting the position of the hydraulic station on the platform 210 and reducing the risk of falling. Because the hydraulic station requires regular maintenance and needs to be removed for repair in case of malfunction, the hydraulic station and the platform 210 must maintain a simple connection. They can be freely abutted or fixedly connected via connectors, but they cannot be installed as a single unit, providing a safety net for removing the hydraulic station from the platform 210.

[0037] Specifically, the height of the baffle plate 300 is higher than that of the guardrail 220, and the two are hinged together by a hinge 320. Adjacent baffle plates 300 are locked together by a locking assembly (not shown in the attached diagram), which includes, but is not limited to, a pin slot assembly and a latch lock head assembly. When all baffle plates 300 are locked by the locking assembly, they are all erected and form a high barrier with the guardrail 220, serving as the normal working state. In this state, it provides good fall protection for the hydraulic station. When all baffle plates 300 are unlocked by the locking assembly, they all flip downwards under gravity, and the guardrail 220 forms a separate barrier, serving as an emergency maintenance state. In this state, the hydraulic station can be moved away from the support platform 210 relatively easily.

[0038] This invention uses a raised support 200 to stack the hydraulic station above the cutting fluid tank 100, saving a significant amount of space. Furthermore, the height baffle 300 temporarily increases the height of the enclosure, reducing the risk of the hydraulic station falling. The reason for using multiple height baffles 300 to temporarily increase the enclosure height, instead of directly increasing the height of the guardrail 220, is that when the hydraulic station malfunctions, it needs to be removed from the support platform 210 for repair. If the enclosure height is not adjustable, this would increase the difficulty of removing the hydraulic station.

[0039] Furthermore, the baffle plate 300 is provided with a plurality of pipe holes 310 for inserting pipes connected to the hydraulic station. A snap-fit ​​component is connected to the pipe on the side closest to the hydraulic station, and the size of the snap-fit ​​component is larger than the size of the pipe hole 310. In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​component can be a clip, which can be easily clamped at any position on the pipe.

[0040] The pipes connecting the hydraulic station and the CNC machining center all pass through the pipe holes 310 of the baffle plate 300 from the outside in. Before moving the hydraulic station, the pipes connected to the CNC machining center need to be disconnected, and all baffle plates 300 need to be flipped down to leave sufficient space for removal. The disconnected pipes are secured in the pipe holes 310 by the clamping parts, thus maintaining the placement of the pipes for easy management. After the hydraulic station is repaired, it needs to be placed back on the support platform 210. Because the pipes are properly positioned, maintenance personnel can quickly reconnect the pipes to the hydraulic station, reducing the possibility of connection errors and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, to improve space utilization, the coolant tank 100 is equipped with an output pump 120 directly below the support platform 210. Simultaneously, the support platform 210 has a ventilation hole 211, which faces the output pump 120 of the coolant tank 100. A cooling fan (not shown in the figures) is connected to the elevated support 200 below the support platform 210 and above the output pump 120. The cooling fan has an upward and downward airflow direction, enabling it to simultaneously cool the output pump 120 and the hydraulic station, thus fully sharing the structure and resources.

[0042] Understandably, the diameter of the ventilation hole 211 is not large and will not affect the support relationship between the hydraulic station and the support platform 210. Since the cabinet of the hydraulic station is generally equipped with bottom heat dissipation holes, the ventilation hole 211 is mainly used for heat dissipation of the cabinet.

[0043] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a CNC machining center includes an integrated structure of a cutting fluid tank and a hydraulic station according to the first aspect of the present invention, and also includes a CNC machine tool. The CNC machine tool is equipped with a cutting fluid circulation system and a fixture system. The cutting fluid circulation system is connected to the cutting fluid tank 100, and the fixture system is connected to the hydraulic station.

[0044] Since the CNC machine tool itself has a cooling duct for dissipating heat from the control cabinet, and the heat dissipation location is close to the height of the hydraulic station, a simple modification can be made to allow the airflow of the cooling duct to pass through the hydraulic station. This means the hydraulic station is located in the path of the cooling duct, achieving the goal of sharing the airflow and providing cooling for the hydraulic station. This cooling method is mainly used to dissipate heat from the hydraulic system of the hydraulic station, complementing the cooling fan mentioned above.

[0045] Since the CNC machining center adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0046] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
