Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of CNC machine tool technology, specifically relating to a vortex separator for CNC machine tools. Background Technology
[0002] CNC machine tools, as key equipment for precision machining in modern manufacturing, require cutting fluid to cool and lubricate the cutting tools and workpieces during processing. This improves machining accuracy and tool life, while also helping to remove machining residues. However, during the circulation process, cutting fluid accumulates a large amount of residue. If not effectively filtered, this residue can affect the performance of the cutting fluid and even cause problems such as blockage in the machine tool's piping. A vortex separator for CNC machine tools serves the entire cutting fluid treatment process. It works in conjunction with components such as the water tank and pump in the CNC machine tool. After the cutting fluid is drawn from the water tank by the pump, it undergoes further treatment to meet the cleanliness requirements of the cutting fluid in machining operations, ensuring the stable and efficient operation of the CNC machine tool.
[0003] When existing vortex separators for CNC machine tools are in operation, the residue deposited at the bottom of the vortex separator may have different characteristics, such as being viscous or forming large lumps. If only gravity is used for slag removal, the viscous residue will adhere to the inner wall of the bottom of the separator due to its own stickiness, resulting in poor flowability and difficulty in smooth discharge. The larger lumps of residue may block the drain port, causing the slag removal to be unable to proceed normally. Therefore, this utility model proposes a vortex separator for CNC machine tools. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vortex separator for CNC machine tools, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the vortex separator, when working, only relies on gravity to discharge slag, resulting in a slow outflow speed and easy blockage.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vortex separator for CNC machine tools, comprising a water tank disposed on the front side of the equipment base, a water pump symmetrically disposed on the water tank, and a vortex separator assembly disposed on the side of the symmetrically disposed water pump and located on the water tank. The vortex separator assembly consists of an upper body, a lower body, an outlet pipe, an input pipe, and a sewage discharge mechanism. The upper body is disposed at the top of the lower body, the outlet pipe is disposed at the top of the upper body, and the input pipe is disposed on the side of the upper body. The sewage discharge mechanism consists of a sewage discharge sleeve, a sewage discharge port, a stirring assembly, a drive motor, and a sealing assembly. The sewage discharge sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the lower body, and the sewage discharge port is opened on the surface of the lower body and located inside the sewage discharge sleeve. A partition is fixed inside the lower body, the stirring assembly is disposed on the partition, the drive motor is disposed at the bottom of the partition, and the sealing assembly is disposed inside the partition.
[0006] Preferably, the stirring assembly consists of a stirring rod and stirring blades, with the stirring blades sleeved and fixed to the surface of the stirring rod.
[0007] Preferably, the output end of the drive motor is engaged with the bottom end of the stirring rod.
[0008] Preferably, the sealing assembly consists of a mounting groove and a sealing sleeve. The mounting groove is opened on the inner side of the partition, and the sealing sleeve is fixed on the inner side of the mounting groove and is fitted onto the output end surface of the drive motor.
[0009] Preferably, the sealing sleeve is a silicone material component, and the sealing sleeve has a hollow cylindrical structure.
[0010] Preferably, a bracket is mounted on the side of the vortex separator assembly and on the water tank.
[0011] Preferably, the front side of the equipment base is symmetrically provided with drainage grooves.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: The designed sewage discharge mechanism allows impurities to pass through after the vortex separator assembly has been working for a certain period of time. During the impurity discharge process, the stirring assembly assists in the process. The stirring assembly is driven by a motor to rotate, and the axial and radial mixed flow generated by the stirring assembly can stir and push the viscous residue, breaking its adhesion and allowing it to be discharged with the fluid flow. The stirring assembly can also break up larger pieces of residue, reducing their size and making it easier to discharge through the sewage outlet, thus effectively solving the problem of poor slag discharge.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] Please see Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a technical solution: a vortex separator for CNC machine tools, including a water tank 2 located on the front side of the equipment base 1, and water pumps 5 symmetrically arranged on the water tank 2. A vortex separator assembly 3 is arranged on the side of the symmetrically arranged water pumps 5 and on the water tank 2. The vortex separator assembly 3 consists of an upper body 31, a lower body 32, an outlet pipe 33, an inlet pipe 34, and a sewage discharge mechanism 35. The upper body 31 is located at the top of the lower body 32. Through the designed sewage discharge mechanism, after the vortex separator assembly 3 has been working for a certain period of time, impurities are discharged through the sewage discharge mechanism 35. During the impurity discharge process, a stirring assembly 353 assists, driven by a drive motor 354. The stirring assembly 353 rotates, and the axial and radial mixed flow generated by the stirring assembly 353 can stir and push viscous residues, breaking down their adhesion and allowing them to be discharged with the fluid flow. The stirring assembly 353 can also break down larger pieces of residue, reducing their size and facilitating discharge through the sewage outlet, thereby effectively solving the problem of poor slag discharge. The problem is that the outlet pipe 33 is located at the top of the upper body 31, the inlet pipe 34 is located on the side of the upper body 31, and the sewage discharge mechanism 35 consists of a sewage discharge sleeve 351, a sewage discharge port 352, a stirring assembly 353, a drive motor 354, and a sealing assembly 355. The sewage discharge sleeve 351 is fitted onto the surface of the lower body 32, and the sewage discharge port 352 is located on the surface of the lower body 32 and inside the sewage discharge sleeve 351. A partition is fixed inside the lower body 32, and the stirring assembly 353 is located on the partition. The motor 354 is located at the bottom of the partition, the sealing component 355 is located on the inner side of the partition, the stirring component 353 consists of a stirring rod 3531 and a stirring blade 3532, the stirring blade 3532 is sleeved and fixed on the surface of the stirring rod 3531, the output end of the drive motor 354 is engaged with the bottom end of the stirring rod 3531, a bracket is installed on the side of the vortex separator component 3 and on the water tank 2, the bracket is used to fix the stability of the vortex separator component 3, and the front side of the equipment base 1 is symmetrically provided with a drain trough 4.
[0016] In this embodiment, preferably, the sealing assembly 355 consists of a mounting groove 3551 and a sealing sleeve 3552. The mounting groove 3551 is opened on the inner side of the partition, and the sealing sleeve 3552 is fixed on the inner side of the mounting groove 3551. The sealing sleeve 3552 is fitted onto the output end surface of the drive motor 354. The sealing sleeve 3552 is a silicone material component and has a hollow cylindrical structure. The sealing assembly 355 ensures that the connection between the drain port 352 and the drive motor 354 and other components is sealed to prevent cutting fluid leakage.
[0017] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: When the CNC machine tool is working, the cutting fluid and residue will flow to the equipment base 1 and then into the water tank 2 through the drain trough 4. Most of the processing residue will be filtered out by the water tank 2. After filtration, the cutting fluid will be stored in the water tank 2 and then extracted by the vortex separator assembly 3 for secondary filtration before returning to the machine tool for circulation. When the vortex separator assembly 3 is working, centrifugal force will be used to throw the residue with a density greater than that of the cutting fluid to the inner wall of the lower body 32 and gradually settle towards the bottom sewage discharge mechanism 35 area. The cleaned cutting fluid that gathers in the center of the vortex will flow upward into the upper body 31 and finally be transported to the processing area of the CNC machine tool through the liquid outlet pipe 33 to play a role in cooling and lubrication. During the slag discharge process, the drive motor 354 drives the stirring assembly 353 to work. The stirring rod 3531 rotates, causing the stirring blades 3532 to stir the residue at the bottom of the lower body 32. The stirring blades 3532 break the accumulation structure of the residue, preventing it from blocking the separation channel due to viscosity or agglomeration, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of vortex separation, and making it easier for the residue to concentrate at the drain port 352. When the residue at the drain port 352 accumulates to a certain extent, the drain port cover 351 is opened to expose the drain port 352. With the assistance of the stirring assembly 353, the accumulated residue falls into the external carrying container through the drain port 352. After the slag discharge is completed, the drain port cover 351 is closed. At the same time, the sealing assembly 355 ensures that the connection between the drain port 352 and the drive motor 354 and other components is sealed to prevent the cutting fluid from leaking.
