Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lifting oil tanks for electrical discharge machining (EDM) machines, and in particular to a lifting oil tank applied to EDM machines. Background Technology

[0002] The EDM machine tool is equipped with an oil tank during operation, and its working part is immersed in the oil in the oil tank. The existing oil tank has a fixed structure and a large volume, which cannot be adjusted according to the actual working oil depth. In addition, it does not have circulation and overflow functions, making it difficult to control the oil temperature and the oil level.

[0003] This proposal is put forward in order to improve and optimize the above-mentioned problems or shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0004] A lifting oil tank for use in an electrical discharge machining (EDM) machine tool includes an oil tank that stores oil to help the EDM machine tool operate in a fully immersed state.

[0005] The system includes a lower oil tank and oil pumps A and B mounted on the lower oil tank. Oil pumps A and B are respectively equipped with an oil inlet pipe and an oil outlet pipe that are connected to the oil tank. When oil pump A is working, it injects the oil from the lower oil tank into the oil tank, while when oil pump B is working, it draws the oil from the oil tank into the lower oil tank, thereby controlling the oil level in the oil tank.

[0006] An oil tank telescopic assembly is disposed outside the oil tank and has a sealing element between it and the oil tank wall for sealing during vertical extension and retraction. The oil tank telescopic assembly forms at least one independent interlayer cavity on the outside of the oil tank. The oil tank telescopic assembly can be raised relative to the oil tank under the drive of a driving member, thereby increasing the actual working oil level of the oil tank. The driving member is an electric telescopic rod, a hydraulic telescopic rod, or a pneumatic telescopic rod, wherein one end of the driving member is fixed and the other end is connected to the oil tank telescopic assembly for driving it.

[0007] The oil filtration section is connected to the oil extraction pipe to filter the oil recovered from the oil tank.

[0008] Preferably, the oil tank telescopic kit includes an oil collecting outer jacket assembly welded to the outer wall of the oil tank, the oil collecting outer jacket assembly and the oil tank side wall forming an upwardly open jacket cavity, and also includes an oil overflow sliding jacket assembly, wherein the inner wall of the oil overflow sliding jacket assembly is inserted into the oil collecting outer jacket assembly, a sealing element is provided between the outer wall of the oil tank and the inner wall of the oil overflow sliding jacket assembly to achieve sealing, and the oil overflow sliding jacket assembly extends and retracts vertically to change the actual liquid level height that the oil can accommodate.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the oil overflow sliding interlayer assembly is provided with oil overflow holes at intervals. The working oil in the oil tank flows into the interlayer of the oil collecting outer interlayer assembly after passing through the oil overflow holes, thereby preventing oil overflow.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting oil pipe is provided between the oil collecting outer jacket assembly and the lower oil tank to allow the overflow oil collected in the oil collecting outer jacket assembly to flow back into the lower oil tank, and one end of the connecting oil pipe is connected to the oil filter section.

[0011] Preferably, the oil extraction pipe is equipped with a solenoid valve to prevent the oil in the oil tank from automatically flowing back into the lower oil tank when not needed.

[0012] Preferably, a rubber seal is provided between the oil tank and the inner wall of the oil overflow sliding jacket assembly. The rubber seal is fixed by a sealing plate, which is fixed to the oil tank by welding or screws. During the up-and-down movement of the oil overflow sliding jacket assembly, the rubber seal and the inner wall of the oil overflow sliding jacket assembly achieve a sealed fit, thereby preventing oil from seeping downwards.

[0013] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. During the EDM machining process, the machining position is at a specified working depth below the oil level in the oil tank. Simultaneously, oil pump A continuously supplies oil into the oil tank. Excess oil overflows through the overflow hole and flows back into the outer jacket of the oil collection assembly. Then, it flows back to the lower oil tank through the connecting oil pipe and is filtered by the oil filter before being reused. This device can adjust the working height of the oil tank according to actual working needs and form a circulation to reduce the working oil temperature.

[0015] 2. The oil tank 19 adopts a C-shaped double-layer structure design and is welded into an upward-opening box with a pipe interface connected to the lower oil tank 10.

[0016] 3. Adjust the working height of the oil tank liquid level by adjusting the height of the oil spill sliding jacket assembly 15.

[0017] 4. The oil collection outer jacket assembly 17 is connected to the lower oil tank 10 through the connecting oil pipe 18. Excess oil flows back through the overflow hole 16 and the oil level is controlled. In the event of seal failure of the sealing strip, the working fluid flows back into the oil collection outer jacket assembly 17 to prevent leakage to the outside of the machine tool.
