Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment technology for CNC machine tools, and in particular to a multi-stage filtration integrated water tank for CNC machine tools. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of CNC machine tools, cutting fluid tanks play a crucial role in cooling, lubrication, chip removal, and cleaning. However, existing machine tool water tanks generally suffer from significant drawbacks: First, insufficient filtration stages result in high impurity levels in the cutting fluid, hindering effective purification. This not only accelerates pump wear and may even lead to pump burnout, but also causes continuous damage to cutting tools, workpieces, and machine tool piping. Second, cleaning impurities such as metal shavings is complex and cumbersome, often requiring component removal or machine shutdown, significantly reducing maintenance efficiency and increasing working hours. Although some improvements have been attempted (such as increasing the number of filtration stages or installing auxiliary water tanks), they have not yet effectively addressed the issues of low filtration accuracy and inconvenient cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a multi-stage filtration integrated water tank for CNC machine tools, which can filter cutting fluid with high purity and quickly remove impurities such as iron filings without stopping the machine.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a multi-stage filtration integrated water tank for CNC machine tools, comprising: a water tank body, with a U-shaped cutting fluid flow path formed inside the water tank body; a first filter tank, a second filter tank, a third filter tank, and a water pumping tank sequentially arranged along the flow path within the water tank body; a chip baffle plate placed above the first filter tank, and a chip collection box placed on the chip baffle plate; a front filter screen detachably connected between the first filter tank and the second filter tank; a chip baffle box slidably fitted between the second filter tank and the third filter tank; a rear filter screen detachably connected between the third filter tank and the water pumping tank; and a water pump installed on the water pumping tank.

[0005] Preferably, the second filter tank is equipped with an oil-water separation device, which includes an oil-water separator, an oil-water separation box, an oil separator box adjustment pipe, and an oil receiving box. The oil-water separator is installed on the second filter tank. The oil-water separator uses its own disc to attach oil sludge from the second filter tank to the disc and then flows into the oil-water separation box through the sludge outlet. The upper part of the oil-water separation box has an oil leakage outlet. The oil separator box adjustment pipe is connected to the second filter tank. The opening at the upper end of the oil separator box adjustment pipe is lower than the height of the oil leakage outlet. The oil sludge floating on the top of the oil-water separation box flows into the oil receiving box through the oil leakage outlet. The oil receiving box is hung on the oil-water separation box.

[0006] Preferably, a limiting slide is formed between the second filter tank and the third filter tank, and a handle is provided on the chip box. The chip box slides in conjunction with the limiting slide, so that the chip box can be quickly removed and put into the chip box when cleaning is required.

[0007] Preferably, a first slot is formed between the first filter tank and the second filter tank, and the front filter screen engages with the first slot.

[0008] Preferably, a second slot is formed between the third filter tank and the water pumping tank, and the rear filter screen engages with the second slot.

[0009] Preferably, the chip collection box is equipped with a handle for quick removal and placement of chips.

[0010] Preferably, the upper part of the first filter tank has an overload vent, which is connected to the second filter tank.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the first filter tank is provided with a drain outlet, which is sealed with a plug during use.

[0012] Preferably, a liquid level display window is provided on the side wall of the water tank.

[0013] Preferably, the length of the chip receiving box is greater than the length of the chip blocking box, so that the chip receiving box can be moved and adjusted on the chip blocking plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By constructing a five-stage filtration U-shaped flow path within the water tank body, the fluid sequentially undergoes primary filtration via a chip collection box, secondary filtration via a chip baffle, tertiary filtration via a pre-filter, quaternary filtration via a chip baffle, and quintuple filtration via a post-filter, significantly improving overall performance. This five-stage progressive filtration results in higher cutting fluid purity, completely eliminating damage to tools, workpieces, and the water pump from impurities. The pull-out chip collection box and the chip baffle with a handle are quickly disassembled and assembled via a limiting slide, enabling cleaning of metal chips without stopping the machine, thus improving maintenance efficiency. The overload relief port of the first filter tank allows for filtration when the fluid level exceeds the limit. The cutting fluid is directly fed into the second filter tank, simultaneously addressing overflow contamination and the risk of water pump dry burning; the water tank level display window enables monitoring without opening the cover, ensuring stable system operation; the oil-water separator effectively removes some floating oil through disc adsorption of oil, stratification in the oil-water separation box, and oil discharge to the oil collection box via the oil drain port; the chip collection box is longer than the chip baffle box and can be adjusted laterally on the chip baffle plate, adapting to the chip discharge port positions of multiple models and improving versatility; the slotted front and rear filters, along with the drain port design, further reduce maintenance and handling costs, achieving optimization throughout the entire life cycle.

[0027] Example:

[0028] refer to Figures 1-3A multi-stage filtration integrated water tank for CNC machine tools includes: a water tank body 18, with a U-shaped cutting fluid flow path formed inside the water tank body 18. Along the flow path, a first filter tank 1, a second filter tank 2, a third filter tank 3, and a water extraction tank 4 are sequentially arranged within the water tank body 18. A chip baffle 5 is placed above the first filter tank 1, and a chip collection box 6 is placed on the chip baffle 5. Both the chip baffle 5 and the chip collection box 6 have sieve holes at their bottoms. The cutting fluid to be filtered first enters the chip collection box 6 for first-stage filtration, then enters the chip baffle 5 for second-stage filtration, and finally flows into the first filter tank 1. A pre-filter 7 is detachably connected between the first filter tank 1 and the second filter tank 2, allowing for third-stage filtration through the pre-filter 7. A chip baffle 8 is slidably fitted between the second filter tank 2 and the third filter tank 3, allowing for fourth-stage filtration through the chip baffle 8. A rear filter screen 9 is detachably connected between the third filter tank 3 and the water pumping tank 4, allowing for fifth-stage filtration. A water pump 10 is installed on the water pumping tank 4. Finally, the cutting fluid flows into the water pumping tank 4 and is transported by the water pump 10 to the spindle, cutting tools, and other components for cooling, rinsing, and lubrication. The filtration levels of the chip baffle 5, chip collection box 6, chip baffle 5, front filter screen 7, chip baffle box 8, and rear filter screen 9 increase progressively. Combined with the "U"-shaped structure of the water tank body, this ensures high purity of the cutting fluid and greatly prevents continuous damage to the water pump 10, water pipes, machining parts, and other machine tool components caused by excessive impurities in the cutting fluid. The chip baffle 5 and chip collection box 6 are placed directly on the water tank body 18, making it convenient and quick to clean iron filings and other waste materials without removing any parts; the chip collection box can be directly removed. The chip collection box 6 is equipped with a handle for quick removal and placement.

[0029] refer to Figures 1-3 To reduce oil contamination in the cutting fluid, a cover plate is bolted to the second filter tank 2. Alternatively, a cover plate can be installed on other filter tanks. An oil-water separation device is bolted to the cover plate of the second filter tank 2. This device includes an oil-water separator 11, an oil-water separation box 12, an oil separator box adjustment pipe 13, and an oil receiving box 14. The oil-water separator 11 is bolted to the second filter tank 2. During the rotation of its own disc driven by a motor, the oil-water separator 11 adheres the oil contamination in the second filter tank 2 to the disc and flows into the oil-water separation box 12 through the drain outlet 111. The upper part of the oil-water separation box 12 has an oil drain outlet 121. The oil separator box adjustment pipe 13 is connected to the second filter tank 2. The opening at the upper end of the oil separator box adjustment pipe 13 is lower than the height of the oil drain outlet 121. The oil contamination floating on top of the oil-water separation box 12 flows into the oil receiving box 14 through the oil drain outlet 121. The oil receiving box 14 is hung on the oil-water separation box 12.

[0030] refer to Figures 1-3The oil-water separator 11 carries the oil-containing cutting fluid through a disc into the oil-water separation box 12. Due to density differences, the oil and cutting fluid separate into layers, with the oil at the top and the cutting fluid at the bottom. By adjusting the oil separator adjustment pipe 13, the oil is positioned slightly below the oil drain port 121. The cutting fluid flows back to the second filter tank 2 through the internal pipe of the oil separator adjustment pipe 13, while the oil flows into the oil receiving box 14 through the oil drain port 121, thus completing the entire oil-water separation process.

[0031] refer to Figures 1-3 To improve work efficiency without stopping the machine tool, a limiting slide 15 is formed between the second filter tank 2 and the third filter tank 3. A handle is installed on the chip box 8. The chip box 8 slides in conjunction with the limiting slide 15, so that when it is necessary to remove and empty the iron filings and other impurities for cleaning, the chip box 8 can be quickly taken out and put in through the handle, so that the machine tool can be processed quickly and efficiently without stopping the machine tool.

[0032] refer to Figures 1-3 The chip baffle 8 has openings on all four sides to maximize the flow of cutting fluid and prevent clogging. The chip collection box 6 is longer than the chip baffle 8, so the chip collection box 6 can move left and right on the chip baffle 5 to adjust its position relative to the chip baffle 5. This allows for a wide operating range and applicability to various machine models, making it highly versatile.

[0033] refer to Figures 1-3 A first slot is formed between the first filter tank 1 and the second filter tank 2, and the front filter screen 7 engages with the first slot. A second slot is formed between the third filter tank 3 and the water pumping tank 4, and the rear filter screen 9 engages with the second slot. Thus, the filter screens inside the water tank body 18 are assembled using a slot-type assembly, allowing the front filter screen 7 and the rear filter screen 9 to be removed immediately without disassembling other parts. If further stabilization of the positions of the front filter screen 7 and the rear filter screen 9 is desired, they can be tightened with bolts.

[0034] refer to Figures 1-3 The upper part of the first filter tank 1 is provided with an overload vent 16, which is connected to the second filter tank 2. This prevents the cutting fluid from overflowing from the edge of the water tank body 18 and polluting the equipment and environment. Also, if too much cutting fluid remains in the first filter tank 1, it will cause the water level in the water pump 10 pumping tank 4 to be insufficient, causing the water pump 10 to run dry and burn out. The overload vent 16 diverts the flow to ensure that the water pump 10 pumping tank 4 always maintains the minimum safe water level.

[0035] The bottom of the first filter tank 1 is provided with a drain outlet 17. When in use, the drain outlet 17 is sealed with a plug. When the water tank is not needed or is transported over a long distance, the cutting fluid inside the water tank body 18 can be drained by removing the plug, thus ensuring the portability of the water tank body 18.

[0036] The four side walls of the water tank are equipped with liquid level display windows to monitor the liquid level in real time, prevent equipment damage, and prevent overflow caused by excessive liquid level. The display windows help operators control the liquid level within a safe range and also allow for direct visual monitoring through the display windows on the side walls, saving operation time each time the lid is opened.

[0037] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
