Description

本発明は、所定温度の水を加工装置に供給する定温水供給方法及び定温水供給装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a constant temperature water supply method and a constant temperature water supply device for supplying water having a predetermined temperature to a processing device.

一般に、研削装置や切削装置等の加工装置に供給される加工水やスピンドル冷却水等の水の温度は、一定温度に管理されている。これは、加工装置に供給される水の温度によって機械部品が熱膨張または熱収縮して加工精度が悪化したり、例えばスピンドルのかじりのように部品同士が接触して加工装置自体が損傷してしまったりするのを防止するためである。 Generally, the temperature of water such as machining water or spindle cooling water supplied to a machining device such as a grinding device or a cutting device is controlled to a constant temperature. This is because the machining accuracy deteriorates due to the thermal expansion or contraction of mechanical parts due to the temperature of the water supplied to the processing equipment, or the processing equipment itself is damaged due to the parts coming into contact with each other like the galling of a spindle. This is to prevent it from getting lost.

加工装置に供給される水を一定温度に保つためには、例えば、定温水供給装置が広く利用されている。定温水供給装置は、水供給源から供給された水を貯留する貯留タンクと、貯留タンクから加工装置へ水を送出する送出ポンプと、貯留タンクから送出された水の圧力を検出する圧力検出ユニットと、貯留タンクから加工装置に至るまでに水を所定温度に調整する温度調整ユニットとを少なくとも備える。このように構成される定温水供給装置では、送出ポンプによって貯留タンクから水を吸い出して、金属や樹脂で形成された配管を通じて加工装置に向けて水を送出することができる(例えば、下記の特許文献1を参照)。 In order to keep the water supplied to the processing device at a constant temperature, for example, a constant temperature water supply device is widely used. The constant temperature water supply device includes a storage tank that stores water supplied from a water supply source, a delivery pump that delivers water from the storage tank to the processing device, and a pressure detection unit that detects the pressure of the water delivered from the storage tank. And a temperature adjusting unit for adjusting the water to a predetermined temperature from the storage tank to the processing device. In the constant temperature water supply device configured as described above, water can be sucked from the storage tank by the delivery pump, and the water can be delivered to the processing device through the pipe formed of metal or resin (for example, the following patents: Reference 1).

しかし、空の貯留タンクに水を貯留し、送出ポンプにより貯留タンクから水を吸い出して送出する際に、送出ポンプの内部や配管中に気体が混入していると、送出ポンプを作動させても送出ポンプが空回りして水を送出することができないという問題がある。送出ポンプで水を送出できていないことは、上記の圧力検出ユニットで検出される圧力が所定値に達しないことで判断できる。従来においては、暫く送出ポンプを連続稼働させておく間に送出ポンプや配管中の気体が貯留タンクなどに移動することもあるため、圧力検出ユニットで検出される圧力が所定値に達していない状態でも暫く送出ポンプを稼働させていた。そして、どの程度送出ポンプを稼働させるかは作業者の勘に依存していたため、場合によっては定温水供給装置を用いて加工装置に水を供給するまでに相当の時間を要しており、非常に非効率的であった。 However, when water is stored in an empty storage tank, and when the delivery pump sucks out water from the storage tank and delivers it, if gas is mixed in the delivery pump or in the piping, the delivery pump may be operated. There is a problem that the delivery pump does not rotate and cannot deliver water. The fact that water cannot be delivered by the delivery pump can be determined by the fact that the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit does not reach a predetermined value. Conventionally, the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit has not reached a predetermined value because the gas in the delivery pump or piping may move to the storage tank etc. while the delivery pump is continuously operating for a while. But the delivery pump was running for a while. Since how much the delivery pump is operated depends on the intuition of the operator, it takes a considerable time to supply water to the processing device using the constant temperature water supply device in some cases. Was inefficient.

本発明は、上記の事情にかんがみてなされたものであり、所定温度の水を加工装置に効率よく供給できるようにすることを目的としている。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to efficiently supply water having a predetermined temperature to a processing apparatus.

本発明は、水供給源から供給された水を貯留する貯留タンクと、該貯留タンクから該加工装置へ水を送出する送出ポンプと、該貯留タンクから送出された水の圧力を検出する圧力検出手段と、該貯留タンクから加工装置に至る流路上の該送出ポンプよりも下流に配設され水を所定温度に調整する温度調整手段と、を備えた定温水供給装置で所定温度の水を該加工装置に供給する定温水供給方法であって、該水供給源から該貯留タンクに水を供給する水供給ステップと、該貯留タンク内に溜められた水の水位を検出する水位検出ステップと、該貯留タンク内の水位が所定の下限水位を下回っている場合に、該送出ポンプのONとOFFとを交互に繰り返すポンプON/OFFステップと、ポンプON/OFFステップを実施した後、該貯留タンク内の水量が該下限水位を上回っている場合に、該送出ポンプで該貯留タンクから水を送出する送出ステップと、該送出ステップで送出された水を該加工装置に至るまでに該温度調整手段で該所定温度に調整する温度調整ステップと、を備え、該送出ステップで該貯留タンクから送出された水の圧力を該圧力検出手段で検出する圧力検出ステップと、該圧力検出ステップで検出された圧力が所定値に達しない場合に、該送出ポンプの作動を一時停止させた後、再度該送出ポンプを作動させる送出ポンプリトライステップと、をさらに備え、該流路中に混入した気体を該流路から除去する。 The present invention relates to a storage tank for storing water supplied from a water supply source, a delivery pump for delivering water from the storage tank to the processing device, and a pressure detection for detecting the pressure of water delivered from the storage tank. Means and a temperature adjusting means for adjusting the water to a predetermined temperature downstream of the delivery pump on the flow path from the storage tank to the processing device, and the constant temperature water supply device is provided with the constant temperature water supply device. A constant temperature water supply method for supplying to a processing device, comprising a water supply step of supplying water from the water supply source to the storage tank, and a water level detection step of detecting a water level of water stored in the storage tank, When the water level in the storage tank is lower than a predetermined lower limit water level, the pump ON/OFF step for alternately repeating ON and OFF of the delivery pump and the pump ON/OFF step are performed, and then the storage A sending step of sending water from the storage tank by the sending pump when the amount of water in the tank exceeds the lower limit water level, and the temperature adjustment of the water sent in the sending step to the processing device. A temperature adjusting step of adjusting the temperature to the predetermined temperature by means, and a pressure detecting step of detecting the pressure of water sent from the storage tank by the pressure detecting means in the sending step, and a pressure detecting step detected by the pressure detecting step. If the pressure does not reach the predetermined value, the pump further comprises a delivery pump retry step of reactivating the delivery pump after temporarily stopping the operation of the delivery pump. Remove from flow path.

また、上記送出ポンプリトライステップを実施した後、該圧力検出手段で検出された水の圧力が該所定値に達しない場合に、警告を発する警告発信ステップを更に備えてもよい。 Further, after performing the delivery pump retry step, a warning issuing step may be further provided for issuing a warning when the pressure of the water detected by the pressure detecting means does not reach the predetermined value.

本発明の定温水供給方法は、水供給源から貯留タンクに水を供給する水供給ステップと、水供給ステップを実施した後、送出ポンプで貯留タンクから水を送出する送出ステップと、送出ステップで送出された水を加工装置に至るまでに温度調整手段で所定温度に調整する温度調整ステップと、備え、送出ステップで貯留タンクから送出された水の圧力を圧力検出手段で検出する圧力検出ステップと、圧力検出ステップで検出された圧力が所定値に達しない場合に、送出ポンプの作動を一時停止させた後、再度送出ポンプを作動させる送出ポンプリトライステップとをさらに備えるため、送出ポンプ中や流路中に混入したエアーを除去してから、送出ポンプを再稼働させることできる。これにより、過度に送出ポンプを稼働させることがなく、定温水供給装置で加工装置に水を供給するまでに相当の時間を要することもない。よって、従来に比べて効率よく所定温度の水を加工装置に供給することができる。 The constant temperature water supply method of the present invention comprises a water supply step of supplying water from a water supply source to a storage tank, a delivery step of delivering water from the storage tank by a delivery pump after performing the water supply step, and a delivery step. A temperature adjusting step of adjusting the delivered water to a predetermined temperature by the temperature adjusting means before reaching the processing device; and a pressure detecting step of detecting the pressure of the water delivered from the storage tank in the sending step by the pressure detecting means. , If the pressure detected in the pressure detection step does not reach a predetermined value, it further comprises a delivery pump retry step of temporarily operating the delivery pump and then operating the delivery pump again. It is possible to restart the delivery pump after removing the air mixed in the road. Accordingly, the delivery pump is not excessively operated, and it does not take a considerable time until the constant temperature water supply device supplies water to the processing device. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently supply the water having the predetermined temperature to the processing device as compared with the related art.

また、上記送出ポンプリトライステップを実施した後、圧力検出手段で検出された水の圧力が所定値に達しない場合に、警告を発する警告発信ステップを更に備えるため、水の圧力が所定値に達しない原因がエアーの混入ではない場合においても、早期に異常を感知することができる。 Further, after the delivery pump retry step is performed, when the water pressure detected by the pressure detecting means does not reach the predetermined value, a warning sending step is further provided to issue a warning, so that the water pressure reaches the predetermined value. Even if the cause of the failure is not the mixture of air, the abnormality can be detected early.

本発明の定温水供給装置は、制御手段が、圧力検手段で検出された圧力の許容下限値を記憶する許容下限値記憶部と、圧力検出手段で検出された圧力が許容下限値に達するか否かを判断する圧力判定部と、圧力判定部において圧力検出手段で検出された圧力が許容下限値に達しないと判断された場合に、送出ポンプの作動を一時停止した後、再度送出ポンプを作動するリトライ動作を送出ポンプに実施させるリトライ動作制御部とを備えるため、ポンプ中や流路中に混入したエアーを除去してから、送出ポンプを再稼働させることできる。よって、上記同様に、過度に送出ポンプを稼働させることがなく、定温水供給装置で加工装置に水を供給するまでに相当の時間を要することもない。したがって、従来に比べて効率よく所定温度の水を加工装置に供給することができる。 In the constant temperature water supply device of the present invention, the control means stores the allowable lower limit value storage section for storing the allowable lower limit value of the pressure detected by the pressure detecting means, and whether the pressure detected by the pressure detecting means reaches the allowable lower limit value. If the pressure determination unit that determines whether or not the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit in the pressure determination unit does not reach the allowable lower limit value, the operation of the delivery pump is temporarily stopped, and then the delivery pump is restarted. Since the delivery pump is provided with a retry operation control unit that causes the delivery pump to perform a retry operation that operates, it is possible to restart the delivery pump after removing the air mixed in the pump and the flow path. Therefore, similarly to the above, the delivery pump is not excessively operated, and it does not take a considerable time until the constant temperature water supply device supplies water to the processing device. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently supply the water having the predetermined temperature to the processing apparatus as compared with the conventional case.

また、上記制御手段が、上記リトライ動作制御部で上記送出ポンプに上記リトライ動作を実施させた後、上記圧力検出手段で検出された圧力が上記許容下限値に達するか否かを再度判断する圧力再判定部と、圧力再判定部において圧力検出手段で検出された圧力が許
容下限値に達しないと判断された場合に、警告を発する警告発信部とを更に備えるため、水の圧力が許容下限値に達しない原因がエアーの混入ではない場合においても、早期に異常を感知することができる。
Further, the control means causes the retry operation control unit to cause the delivery pump to perform the retry operation, and then determines again whether or not the pressure detected by the pressure detection means reaches the allowable lower limit value. Since the re-determination unit and the warning transmission unit that issues a warning when the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit in the pressure re-determination unit does not reach the lower limit value, the water pressure is lower than the lower limit value. Even when the cause of not reaching the value is not the mixing of air, it is possible to detect the abnormality early.

ここで、圧力判定部91が、第1圧力検出手段5で検出された圧力が許容下限値に達しないと判断した場合は、第1送出ポンプ4または第1流路7に気体(エアー)が許容量以上混入した状態であると確認できる。また、圧力判定部91が、第2圧力検出手段13で検出された圧力が許容下限値に達しないと判断した場合は、第2送出ポンプ12または第2流路15の内部に気体(エアー)が許容量以上混入した状態であると確認できる。そして、この場合は、リトライ動作制御部92が、第1送出ポンプ4または第2送出ポンプ12の作動を一時停止するように制御することで、第1貯留タンク3または第2貯留タンク11側や加工装置20側へエアーを移動させ、送出ポンプ中や流路中に混入したエアーを除去してから、第1送出ポンプ4または第2送出ポンプ12に対してリトライ動作を実施させる制御を行う。 Here, when the pressure determination unit 91 determines that the pressure detected by the first pressure detection unit 5 does not reach the allowable lower limit value, gas (air) is present in the first delivery pump 4 or the first flow path 7. It can be confirmed that it is in a mixed state of more than the allowable amount. Further, when the pressure determination unit 91 determines that the pressure detected by the second pressure detection unit 13 does not reach the allowable lower limit value, gas (air) is present inside the second delivery pump 12 or the second flow path 15. Can be confirmed to be in a mixed state exceeding the allowable amount. Then, in this case, the retry operation control unit 92 controls to temporarily stop the operation of the first delivery pump 4 or the second delivery pump 12, so that the first storage tank 3 or the second storage tank 11 side or After the air is moved to the processing device 20 side and the air mixed in the delivery pump or the flow path is removed, control is performed to cause the first delivery pump 4 or the second delivery pump 12 to perform a retry operation.

さらに、制御手段9は、リトライ動作制御部92で第1送出ポンプ4または第2送出ポンプ12にリトライ動作を実施させた後、第1圧力検出手段5または第2圧力検出手段13で検出された水の圧力が許容下限値に達するか否かを再度判断する圧力再判定部93と、圧力再判定部93において第1圧力検出手段5または第2圧力検出手段13で検出された水の圧力が許容下限値に達しないと判断された場合に、警告を発する警告発信部94とを備える。 Further, the control unit 9 causes the retry operation control unit 92 to cause the first delivery pump 4 or the second delivery pump 12 to perform the retry operation, and then is detected by the first pressure detection unit 5 or the second pressure detection unit 13. The pressure re-determination unit 93 that determines again whether or not the water pressure reaches the allowable lower limit value, and the water pressure detected by the first pressure detection unit 5 or the second pressure detection unit 13 in the pressure re-determination unit 93 And a warning transmission unit 94 that issues a warning when it is determined that the lower limit value is not reached.

圧力再判定部93では、圧力判定部91と同様に、第1圧力検出手段5で検出された圧力が許容下限値に達しないと判断した場合は、リトライ動作を実施したにもかかわらず未だ第1送出ポンプ4または第1流路7に気体(エアー)が許容量以上混入した状態であると想定される。もしくは、リトライ動作を実施した後の圧力が許容下限値に達しない他の原因として、気体(エアー)の混入以外、例えば第1送出ポンプ4の故障等にあると想定される。また、圧力再判定部93が、第2圧力検出手段13で検出された圧力が許容下限値に達しないと判断した場合は、リトライ動作を実施したにもかかわらず未だ第2送出ポンプ12または第2流路15の内部に気体(エアー)が許容量以上混入した状態であると想定される。もしくは、リトライ動作を実施した後の圧力が許容下限値に達しない他の原因として、気体(エアー)の混入以外、例えば第2送出ポンプ12の故障等にあると想定される。そして、圧力再判定部93の判定結果を受けた警告発信部94が警告発信手段10に対して所定の警告を行うように信号を発信する。警告発信手段10は、例えばスピーカーを有しアラーム音で警告する構成でもよいし、例えば表示モニタを有し文字や図形等の表示で警告する構成でもよい。 Similar to the pressure determination unit 91, when the pressure re-determination unit 93 determines that the pressure detected by the first pressure detection unit 5 does not reach the allowable lower limit value, the retry operation is still performed but It is assumed that gas (air) is mixed in the 1 delivery pump 4 or the first flow path 7 in an amount equal to or more than the allowable amount. Alternatively, it is assumed that the other cause of the pressure not reaching the allowable lower limit value after performing the retry operation is, for example, a failure of the first delivery pump 4 other than the mixing of gas (air). Further, when the pressure re-determination unit 93 determines that the pressure detected by the second pressure detection unit 13 does not reach the allowable lower limit value, the second delivery pump 12 or the second delivery pump 12 or It is assumed that gas (air) is mixed into the interior of the two flow paths 15 in an amount equal to or more than the allowable amount. Alternatively, it is assumed that the other cause of the pressure not reaching the allowable lower limit value after performing the retry operation is, for example, a failure of the second delivery pump 12 other than the mixing of gas (air). Then, the warning transmitting unit 94 that has received the determination result of the pressure re-determining unit 93 transmits a signal to the warning transmitting unit 10 so as to issue a predetermined warning. The warning transmission means 10 may be configured to have, for example, a speaker to warn with an alarm sound, or may be configured to have, for example, a display monitor to warn by displaying characters or figures.

このように、本発明の定温水供給装置1では、制御手段9が、第1圧力検出手段5,第2圧力検出手段13で検出された圧力の許容下限値を記憶する許容下限値記憶部90と、
第1圧力検出手段5,第2圧力検出手段13で検出された圧力が許容下限値に達するか否かを判断する圧力判定部91と、圧力判定部91で許容下限値に達しないと判断された場合に、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12の作動を一時停止した後、再度第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12を作動させるリトライ動作を第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12に実施させるリトライ動作制御部92とを備えるため、ポンプ中や流路中に混入したエアーを除去してから、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12を再稼働させることができる。よって、過度に第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12を稼働させることがなく、定温水供給装置1で加工装置20に水を供給するまでに相当の時間を要することもなく、従来に比べて効率よく所定温度の水を加工装置20に供給することができる。
また、制御手段9が警告発信部94を備えるため、水の圧力が許容下限値に達しない原因がエアーの混入ではない場合においても、早期に異常を感知することができる。
As described above, in the constant temperature water supply device 1 of the present invention, the control unit 9 stores the allowable lower limit value storage unit 90 that stores the allowable lower limit value of the pressure detected by the first pressure detecting unit 5 and the second pressure detecting unit 13. When,
The pressure determination unit 91 that determines whether the pressure detected by the first pressure detection unit 5 and the second pressure detection unit 13 reaches the allowable lower limit value, and the pressure determination unit 91 determines that the pressure does not reach the allowable lower limit value. In this case, after the operation of the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 is temporarily stopped, the retry operation of operating the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 again is performed. Since the pump 12 is provided with the retry operation control unit 92, the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 can be restarted after the air mixed in the pump or the flow path is removed. Therefore, it is unnecessary to operate the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 excessively, and it does not take a considerable time to supply water to the processing device 20 by the constant temperature water supply device 1. Therefore, water having a predetermined temperature can be efficiently supplied to the processing device 20.
Further, since the control means 9 is provided with the warning transmission part 94, even when the cause of the pressure of the water not reaching the allowable lower limit value is not the mixing of air, the abnormality can be detected early.

なお、本実施形態に示した定温水供給装置1では、水供給源2から二分岐させた給水路7a,15aを設けたが、給水路15aを設けずに、第1貯留タンク3から加工装置20に向けて供給された水の一部をバルブによって第2貯留タンク11に給水できるようにしてもよい。また、スピンドル21を冷却する冷却水は、加工装置20において循環利用してもよい。 In addition, in the constant temperature water supply device 1 according to the present embodiment, the water supply paths 7a and 15a that are branched from the water supply source 2 are provided, but the water supply path 15a is not provided, and the processing device is installed from the first storage tank 3 A part of the water supplied toward 20 may be supplied to the second storage tank 11 by a valve. Further, the cooling water for cooling the spindle 21 may be circulated and used in the processing device 20.

2 定温水供給方法
次に、図1に示す定温水供給装置1を用いて、図2に示すフローチャートに沿って、所定温度の水を加工装置20に供給する定温水供給方法について説明する。
2 Constant Temperature Water Supply Method Next, a constant temperature water supply method for supplying water of a predetermined temperature to the processing apparatus 20 using the constant temperature water supply apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described along the flowchart shown in FIG.

(水供給ステップ)
水供給源2から第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11に水を供給する(ステップS1)。具体的には、水供給源2から給水路7aを通じて第1貯留タンク3へ給水するとともに、水供給源2から給水路15aを通じて第2貯留タンク11へ給水する。水供給源2から送出される水としては、例えば、純水や市水(水道水)を用いることができる。
(Water supply step)
Water is supplied from the water supply source 2 to the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 (step S1). Specifically, the water is supplied from the water supply source 2 to the first storage tank 3 through the water supply passage 7a, and the water is supplied from the water supply source 2 to the second storage tank 11 through the water supply passage 15a. As the water delivered from the water supply source 2, for example, pure water or city water (tap water) can be used.

(水位検出ステップ)
上記の水供給ステップと並行して、第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11内に溜められた水の水位を検出する(ステップS2)。例えば、センサが第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11内に溜められた水の水位を検出することで、それぞれの第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11内の水位が下限水位かどうかを判定する(ステップS3)。水位検出ステップを実施した結果、定温水供給装置1の起動時に既に第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11内に十分な量の水が貯留されており、それぞれの貯留タンク内の水位が下限水位を上回っている場合は、次の送出ステップに進む。なお、それぞれの貯留タンク内の水位が上限水位に達した場合は、水供給ステップを停止する。
(Water level detection step)
In parallel with the above water supply step, the water level of the water stored in the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 is detected (step S2). For example, the sensor detects the water level of the water stored in the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 to determine whether the water level in each of the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 is the lower limit water level. Is determined (step S3). As a result of performing the water level detection step, a sufficient amount of water has already been stored in the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 when the constant temperature water supply device 1 is activated, and the water level in each storage tank is the lower limit. If it is above the water level, proceed to the next sending step. When the water level in each storage tank reaches the upper limit water level, the water supply step is stopped.

(ポンプON/OFFステップ)
第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11内の水位が下限水位を下回っている場合、即ち定温水供給装置1の起動時に第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11が空である場合には、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12や第1流路7,第2流路15中に気体(エアー)が混入している可能性が高い。流路や送出ポンプ中に気体(エアー)が混入していると送出ポンプが空回りしてしまい第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12で第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11内から水をうまく吸い出せないため、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12で水を送出する前に流路や送出ポンプ中の気体(エアー)を除去しておく。具体的には、送出ステップに進む前に第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12の作動の切り替え(ON/OFF)を行う(ステップS4)。例えば、第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11内が空の状態になっている場合は、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12のONとOFFとを交互に数回繰り返し行った後、水供給源2から第1貯留タンク3,第2
貯留タンク11への給水を開始する。また、定温水供給装置1の起動時に既に第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11内に水が溜まっている場合は、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12をONにしたまま、水供給源2から第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11への給水を続ける。
(Pump ON/OFF step)
When the water levels in the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 are lower than the lower limit water level, that is, when the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 are empty when the constant temperature water supply device 1 is started, It is highly possible that gas is mixed in the first delivery pump 4, the second delivery pump 12, the first flow passage 7, and the second flow passage 15. When gas (air) is mixed in the flow path or the delivery pump, the delivery pump idles, and the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 supply water from the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11. Therefore, the gas (air) in the flow path and the delivery pump is removed before the water is delivered by the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12. Specifically, the operation of the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 is switched (ON/OFF) before proceeding to the delivery step (step S4). For example, when the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 are empty, after the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 are alternately turned on and off several times. , Water supply source 2 to first storage tank 3, second
Water supply to the storage tank 11 is started. If water is already stored in the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 when the constant temperature water supply device 1 is started, the water is stored with the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 turned on. Water supply from the supply source 2 to the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 is continued.

(送出ステップ)
第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11内に十分な水量の水が溜められ、水量が下限水位を上回っているとセンサが判断したら、第1送出ポンプ4で第1貯留タンク3から水を送出し、第2送出ポンプ12で第2貯留タンク11から水を送出する(ステップS5)。具体的には、第1送出ポンプ4は、第1貯留タンク3から水を吸い出して、加工装置20の所望の機構(例えば、加工水ノズル)に向けて水を送出する。また、第2送出ポンプ12は、第2貯留タンク11から水を吸い出して、スピンドル21に向けて水を送出する。
(Sending step)
When the sensor determines that a sufficient amount of water is stored in the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 and the water amount is above the lower limit water level, the first delivery pump 4 draws water from the first storage tank 3. Then, the second delivery pump 12 delivers the water from the second storage tank 11 (step S5). Specifically, the first delivery pump 4 sucks water from the first storage tank 3 and delivers the water to a desired mechanism (for example, the processing water nozzle) of the processing apparatus 20. Further, the second delivery pump 12 sucks water from the second storage tank 11 and delivers the water to the spindle 21.

(圧力検出ステップ)
送出ステップで第1貯留タンク3から送出された水の圧力を第1圧力検出手段5で検出し、送出ステップで第2貯留タンク11から送出された水の圧力を第2圧力検出手段13で検出する(ステップS6)。第1圧力検出手段5,第2圧力検出手段13で水の圧力を検出したら、続いて、圧力判定部91は、第1圧力検出手段5,第2圧力検出手段13で検出された水の圧力が、あらかじめ許容下限値記億部90に記億させておいた許容下限値に達しているか否かを判断する(ステップS7)。
(Pressure detection step)
In the sending step, the pressure of the water sent from the first storage tank 3 is detected by the first pressure detecting means 5, and in the sending step, the pressure of the water sent from the second storage tank 11 is detected by the second pressure detecting means 13. Yes (step S6). When the pressure of the water is detected by the first pressure detecting means 5 and the second pressure detecting means 13, the pressure determining unit 91 then determines the pressure of the water detected by the first pressure detecting means 5 and the second pressure detecting means 13. Determines whether or not the allowable lower limit value stored in advance in the allowable lower limit value storage unit 90 has been reached (step S7).

(温度調整ステップ)
圧力判定部91において第1圧力検出手段5,第2圧力検出手段13で検出された圧力が許容下限値に達していると判断された場合は、送出ステップで送出された水を加工装置20に至るまでに所定温度に調整する(ステップS8)。ここで、第1送出ポンプ4によって送出された水の温度が所定温度よりも高い場合は、チラーユニット60で冷却して水の温度を下げる。また、第1送出ポンプ4によって送出された水の温度が所定温度よりも低い場合は、ヒーター61で加熱して水の温度を上げる。こうして所定温度に調整された水は、第1フィルタ8を通って加工装置20へ加工水として供給される(ステップS9)。加工水は、例えば、切削ブレードと被加工物との接触部分を冷却するとともに切削によって生じる切削屑を被加工物上から排出するために用いられる。また、第2送出ポンプ12によって送出された水は、スピンドル21を一定温度に保つための冷却水として使用されるため、かかる冷却水の温度が所定温度よりも高い場合は、チラーユニット14で冷却して冷却水の温度を下げる。こうして所定温度に調整された冷却水は、第2フィルタ16を通って加工装置20のスピンドル21へ供給される。
(Temperature adjustment step)
When the pressure determination unit 91 determines that the pressure detected by the first pressure detection unit 5 and the second pressure detection unit 13 has reached the allowable lower limit value, the water sent in the sending step is sent to the processing device 20. The temperature is adjusted to a predetermined temperature (step S8). Here, when the temperature of the water delivered by the first delivery pump 4 is higher than the predetermined temperature, the temperature of the water is lowered by cooling with the chiller unit 60. When the temperature of the water delivered by the first delivery pump 4 is lower than the predetermined temperature, the temperature of the water is raised by heating with the heater 61. The water adjusted to the predetermined temperature in this way is supplied as processing water to the processing device 20 through the first filter 8 (step S9). The working water is used, for example, to cool the contact portion between the cutting blade and the work piece and to discharge the cutting chips generated by cutting from the work piece. Further, the water delivered by the second delivery pump 12 is used as cooling water for keeping the spindle 21 at a constant temperature. Therefore, when the temperature of the cooling water is higher than a predetermined temperature, the chiller unit 14 cools it. And lower the temperature of the cooling water. The cooling water adjusted to the predetermined temperature in this way is supplied to the spindle 21 of the processing apparatus 20 through the second filter 16.

(送出ポンプリトライステップ)
圧力判定部91において第1圧力検出手段5,第2圧力検出手段13で検出された水の圧力が許容下限値に達しないと判断された場合には、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12の作動を一時停止させた後、再度第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12を作動させる(ステップS10)。具体的には、リトライ動作制御部92の制御によって、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12の作動を一時停止させることにより、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12,第1流路7及び第2流路15内に混入したエアーを第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11側へ移動させる。このようにして、各送出ポンプ中や流路中からエアーを除去したら、リトライ動作制御部92の制御によって、再度第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12に対してリトライ動作を実施させる。これにより、各送出ポンプが空回りすることなく、第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11から水を吸い出して、第1流路7,第2流路15に水を送出することできる。
(Sending pump retry step)
When the pressure determination unit 91 determines that the water pressure detected by the first pressure detection unit 5 and the second pressure detection unit 13 does not reach the allowable lower limit value, the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump After the operation of 12 is temporarily stopped, the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 are operated again (step S10). Specifically, the operations of the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 are temporarily stopped by the control of the retry operation control unit 92, so that the first delivery pump 4, the second delivery pump 12, and the first passage The air mixed in 7 and the second flow path 15 is moved to the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 side. After the air is removed from each of the delivery pumps and the flow path in this way, the retry operation control unit 92 controls the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 to perform the retry operation again. As a result, water can be sucked out from the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 and delivered to the first flow path 7 and the second flow path 15 without the delivery pumps spinning idle.

(圧力再検出ステップ)
送出ポンプリトライステップを実施した後、第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11から送出された水の圧力を第1圧力検出手段5,第2圧力検出手段13で再度検出する(ステップS11)。圧力再検出ステップは、上記の圧力検出ステップと同様の動作によって行う。すなわち、圧力再判定部93は、第1圧力検出手段5,第2圧力検出手段13で検出された水の圧力が、許容下限値記億部90に記億された許容下限値に達しているか否かを判断する(ステップS12)。
(Pressure re-detection step)
After the delivery pump retry step is performed, the pressure of the water delivered from the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 is detected again by the first pressure detection means 5 and the second pressure detection means 13 (step S11). The pressure re-detection step is performed by the same operation as the above pressure detection step. That is, the pressure re-determination unit 93 determines whether the water pressure detected by the first pressure detection unit 5 and the second pressure detection unit 13 has reached the allowable lower limit value stored in the allowable lower limit value storage unit 90. It is determined whether or not (step S12).

圧力再判定部93において第1圧力検出手段5で検出された圧力が許容下限値に達していると判断された場合は、上記の温度調整ステップに進み、所定温度に調整された加工水を加工装置20に供給する。また、圧力再判定部93において第2圧力検出手段13で検出された圧力が許容下限値に達していると判断された場合は、上記の温度調整ステップに進み、所定温度に調整された冷却水をスピンドル21に供給する。 When the pressure re-determination unit 93 determines that the pressure detected by the first pressure detection unit 5 has reached the allowable lower limit value, the process proceeds to the temperature adjustment step described above, and the processing water adjusted to the predetermined temperature is processed. Supply to the device 20. When the pressure re-determination unit 93 determines that the pressure detected by the second pressure detection unit 13 has reached the allowable lower limit value, the process proceeds to the temperature adjustment step described above, and the cooling water adjusted to the predetermined temperature is performed. Is supplied to the spindle 21.

(警告発信ステップ)
圧力再判定部93において第1圧力検出手段5,第2圧力検出手段13で検出された水の圧力が許容下限値に達していないと判断された場合は、圧力再判定部93の判定結果を受けた警告発信部94が警告発信手段10に対して所定の警告を行うように信号を送る。そして、警告発信手段10が例えばスピーカーを有する場合は、所定のアラーム音を鳴らして作業者に警告する。また、警告発信手段10が例えば表示モニタを有する場合は、所定の文字や図形等を表示モニタに表示させて作業者に警告する(ステップS13)。このようにして、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12の異常を感知したら、定温水供給装置1の稼働を停止して、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12のメンテナンスを行う。
(Warning dispatch step)
When the pressure re-determination unit 93 determines that the water pressure detected by the first pressure detection unit 5 and the second pressure detection unit 13 has not reached the allowable lower limit value, the determination result of the pressure re-determination unit 93 is The received warning transmission unit 94 sends a signal to the warning transmission means 10 so as to give a predetermined warning. If the warning transmission means 10 has, for example, a speaker, a predetermined alarm sound is emitted to warn the operator. If the warning transmission means 10 has, for example, a display monitor, predetermined characters or figures are displayed on the display monitor to warn the operator (step S13). In this way, when the abnormality of the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 is detected, the operation of the constant temperature water supply device 1 is stopped and the maintenance of the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 is performed.

このように、本発明の定温水供給方法では、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12で、第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11から水を送出する送出ステップを実施した後、第1貯留タンク3,第2貯留タンク11から送出された水の圧力を第1圧力検出手段5,第2圧力検出手段13で検出する圧力検出ステップに進み、圧力検出ステップで検出された圧力が許容下限値に達しない場合に、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12の作動を一時停止させた後、再度第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12を作動させる送出ポンプリトライステップを行うため、送出ポンプ中や流路中に混入したエアーを除去してから、第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12を再稼働させることができる。よって、過度に第1送出ポンプ4,第2送出ポンプ12を稼働させることがなく、定温水供給装置1で加工装置20に水を供給するまでに相当の時間を要することもなく、従来に比べて効率よく所定温度の水を加工装置20に供給することができる。
また、本発明の定温水供給方法では、送出ポンプリトライステップを実施した後、第1圧力検出手段5,第2圧力検出手段13で検出された圧力が許容下限値に達するか否かを再度判断する圧力再検出ステップを行い、圧力再検出ステップで検出された水の圧力が許容下限値に達しない場合に、警告を発する警告発信ステップとを更に行うため、水の圧力が許容下限値に達しない原因がエアーの混入ではない場合においても、早期に異常を感知することができる。
As described above, in the constant temperature water supply method of the present invention, the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 perform the delivery step of delivering water from the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11, and then The process proceeds to a pressure detection step in which the pressure of water sent from the first storage tank 3 and the second storage tank 11 is detected by the first pressure detection means 5 and the second pressure detection means 13, and the pressure detected in the pressure detection step is allowed. When the lower limit value is not reached, the operation of the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 is temporarily stopped, and then the delivery pump retry step of operating the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 is performed again. It is possible to restart the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 after removing the air mixed in the delivery pump and the flow path. Therefore, it is unnecessary to operate the first delivery pump 4 and the second delivery pump 12 excessively, and it does not take a considerable time to supply water to the processing device 20 by the constant temperature water supply device 1. Therefore, water having a predetermined temperature can be efficiently supplied to the processing device 20.
Further, in the constant temperature water supply method of the present invention, after the delivery pump retry step is performed, it is determined again whether the pressure detected by the first pressure detection means 5 and the second pressure detection means 13 reaches the allowable lower limit value. Perform the pressure re-detection step, and if the water pressure detected in the pressure re-detection step does not reach the permissible lower limit value, a warning is issued to issue a warning. Even if the cause of the failure is not the mixture of air, the abnormality can be detected early.

なお、本発明にかかる定温水供給装置1及び定温水供給方法が適用される装置は、本実施形態に示した加工装置20に限定されるものではなく、例えば、被加工物を研削加工する研削装置にも適用することができる。 The apparatus to which the constant temperature water supply apparatus 1 and the constant temperature water supply method according to the present invention are applied is not limited to the processing apparatus 20 shown in the present embodiment, and for example, grinding for grinding a workpiece. It can also be applied to a device.
