- the bag is held on the discharge tube.
- Some of the recirculating coolant fluid is directed into the tube. Due to the slot in the tube, the fluid flows by gravity into the bag.
- the bag traps particles suspended in the fluid, as well as droplets of oil in the fluid, and the filtered fluid flows through the pores in the filter material, and into a reservoir for recirculation.
- the end piece of the discharge tube is moved to the parallel position, and the bag is removed from the tube. A new, clean bag is inserted over the discharge tube, and the process is repeated.
- the coolant fluid is simultaneously delivered to the workpiece and to the discharge tube.
- the fluid flowing into conduit 39 does not, at any one moment, comprise all of the fluid delivered by the pump. Therefore, not all of the fluid flowing to the nozzle is filtered at once. But because the system recirculates the fluid, the filtered and non-filtered fluid becomes mixed, and after several cycles, virtually all of the fluid can be expected to have passed at least once through the filter.
- valve 41 is set by opening it just so far as to cause a very slight reduction in flow at the nozzle. Then, the valve may be moved very slightly towards the closed position, so that the flow at the nozzle is the same as it was when valve 41 was closed. In other words, valve 41 is set to allow the discharge tube to receive the maximum practical flow of fluid, without reducing the flow to the nozzle.
- the proportion of the fluid that goes to the discharge tube is determined by the capacity of the pump and the size of the fluid conduits.
- the filter bag There are two types of preferred fabric material used for the filter bag. Both types are made of polypropylene. The first is a spun bond, and the other is a melt blown fabric. Either type may be used, depending on the application. There may be as many as four layers used to form the bag. Also, the weight of the fabric can vary. While the above-described material is preferred, the invention is not limited to use with a particular type of material.
- the sump 33 may comprise a separate tank, located at the bottom.
- the tank would be fed by a shorter conduit which carries fluid from the reservoir.
- the pump 35 would then lift the fluid from that tank. Either arrangement can be used with the present invention.
- the invention can be modified in still other ways.
- the particular material used to make the filter bag can be varied.
- the shape of the opening or slot, in the discharge tube, can be modified.
- the structure of the end piece could be different.
- the positioning of the device of the invention can be changed.

Abstract
A coolant for a machine is filtered by passing some of the coolant into a discharge tube having an opening, the discharge tube supporting a filter bag. Coolant flowing into the discharge tube flows out of the tube through the opening, and then through the bag, and the filtered fluid is recirculated. An end piece, pivotably mounted to the discharge tube, prevents the bag from falling off while in operation, but can be pivoted to a position which facilitates insertion and removal of the bag. When filled, the bag can therefore easily be removed and replaced with a new bag. The invention greatly simplifies the process of filtering a coolant fluid.
Description
- The present invention relates to filtration of liquid coolants used with milling machines and the like. The invention provides a simple and economical way of filtering such coolants, and of replacing the filter when needed.
- A milling device or lathe, or the like, produces considerable heat on a workpiece. This heating is countered with a continuous supply of a coolant medium, which is typically provided as a liquid, and sprayed onto the workpiece. The coolant medium is preferably recirculated and re-used.
- The operation of the milling device or lathe produces particles which become entrained by, and suspended in, the coolant medium, and which must eventually be removed. In addition, some oil from the machinery will become mixed with the coolant, and should also be removed.
- It is important that the flow of coolant not be interrupted while the milling device is operating, to prevent undesirable overheating of the workpiece.
- A typical arrangement of the prior art is shown in
FIG. 1 . A milling device or lathe 1 supports a workpiece ortool 3 which is being machined or milled. A liquid coolant 5 is sprayed onto the workpiece through nozzle 7. The coolant falls into reservoir 9 from which the coolant flows, by gravity, into asump 11. The coolant is recirculated bypump 13, so that the coolant flows throughconduit 15, and back intoenclosure 17 and into nozzle 7. - The above-described prior art system provides no convenient way of filtering the used coolant fluid. The present invention provides a simple and convenient method and apparatus which substantially improves the prior art arrangement described above. With the present invention, one can easily filter a portion of the coolant flow, and can easily replace the filter when it becomes clogged. Thus, the present invention substantially improves the efficiency of the milling process.
- The present invention includes a system for filtration of a coolant, wherein a conduit supplies coolant fluid to a nozzle, or other delivery means, disposed near a workpiece. A discharge tube, in fluid communication with the conduit, receives some of the flow of the coolant. The discharge tube has an internal channel which allows fluid to flow through the tube. The discharge tube also has an opening, which is preferably a slot, allowing fluid in the internal channel to flow out of the tube. A filter bag is disposed around the discharge tube, and is suspended therefrom. Thus, fluid entering the discharge tube flows out of the tube, through the opening, and into the filter bag, so that the fluid passing through the material of the bag becomes filtered. Filtered fluid falls out of the bag and is then recirculated.
- The opening in the discharge tube is preferably a slot which extends along most of the length of the tube. The discharge tube also preferably includes a pivoting end piece, which, in a first position, allows the filter bag to slide easily onto the tube, and in a second position, holds or locks the bag in place after the bag has been inserted.
- The discharge tube also includes a mounting block which facilitates the attachment of the tube to a structure, such as a wall of an enclosure housing a machine.
- The present invention also includes a valve, which may be part of the discharge tube, or which may be located remotely from the tube, for controlling the flow of fluid into the tube.
- The present invention also includes the specific structure of the discharge tube, as described above, and the combination of the discharge tube and the filter bag suspended therefrom.
- The invention also includes a method of filtering a coolant for a machine. A discharge tube, having the structure described above, is connected to a supply conduit for coolant. The end piece is positioned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube, and a filter bag is positioned on the tube. The end piece is positioned perpendicular to the axis of the tube, so as to lock the filter bag in place. A valve associated with the discharge tube is then opened, allowing fluid to enter the tube, wherein such fluid flows out of the tube and into the filter bag.
- When the filter bag becomes filled with particulates, it is necessary to replace the bag. The valve is closed, the end piece is pivoted to the “open” (parallel) position, and the filter bag is removed. A new filter bag is supplied, and the process described above is repeated.
- The present invention therefore has the primary object of providing a method and apparatus for filtering a coolant for a machine.
- The invention has the further object of enabling a filtration operation to be performed by a simple filter bag which can easily be inserted and replaced when necessary.
- The invention has the further object of improving the efficiency of machines, and reducing their cost of operation, by providing a simple and inexpensive method and apparatus for filtering a coolant.
- The reader skilled in the art will recognize other objects and advantages of the present invention, from a reading of the following brief description of the drawings, the detailed description of the invention, and the appended claims.

-
FIG. 2 provides a schematic diagram showing the operation of the present invention. As in the prior art device ofFIG. 1 , a milling machine orlathe 21, or the like, is mounted withinenclosure 23. A workpiece ortool 25 receives a spray ofcoolant 27 delivered bynozzle 29. The nozzle therefore comprises a means for delivery of coolant to the workpiece. The used coolant falls by gravity intoreservoir 31, as indicated byarrows 32, and then flows by gravity intosump 33. Apump 35 draws the coolant out of the sump, and directs the coolant throughconduit 37 for re-use. - In the device of
FIG. 2 , a portion of the coolant delivered throughconduit 37 is diverted intoconduit 39. The fluid flow throughconduit 39 is controlled byvalve 41. The fluid also flows through mounting block ormanifold 42, and then flows into a discharge tube, most of which is not visible inFIG. 2 . The discharge tube will be described in detail later, with respect to the other figures. Afilter bag 43 is fitted onto the discharge tube, and is thereby suspended from the tube. Fluid flowing into the discharge tube flows out of the tube and through the filter bag, and then falls, by gravity, intoreservoir 31, as indicated byarrow 44. -
FIG. 3 provides a perspective view of thedischarge tube 50, and associated components, used in the present invention. The discharge tube comprises a generallycylindrical body 51, the body having aslot 52 which extends along most of the length of the body. Also, the slot extends entirely through the body, in the direction transverse (perpendicular) to the longitudinal axis of the body. The cylindrical body includes an internal channel which permits fluid flow. Fluid flowing inside the cylindrical body can flow out of the tube through the slot. The flow of fluid in the internal channel is represented byarrows 53.Arrows 54 represent fluid that has passed through the slot and is falling by gravity. - The
discharge tube 50 includes ahose attachment 55, to which ahose 56 can be affixed.Valve 57 includesknob 58 for controlling the flow of fluid through the discharge tube. A manifold or mountingblock 59 provides means for mounting the discharge tube to a wall. InFIG. 3 , the mounting block is held bybolt 61, which extends intowall 60, the wall being illustrated in fragmentary form. The wall can be a wall of a room, or the wall of an enclosure, such as may be used to house a machine. - The distal end of the discharge tube, i.e. the right-hand side in
FIG. 3 , includes anend piece 63 which is pivotably mounted to the body of the tube. A spring-loaded pin (not visible inFIG. 3 ) engages one of three grooves formed in the end piece (only two of the grooves being visible inFIG. 3 ). The end piece therefore will preferably assume one of three possible orientations. In one orientation, shown inFIG. 3 , the end piece is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube. In the other orientations, described later, the end piece is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube. - The structure of the end piece and spring-loaded pin is illustrated in
FIGS. 7 and 8 . As shown inFIGS. 7 and 8 , theend piece 63 includesgrooves pin 105 is biased byspring 106 such that the pin tends to move to the right, inFIGS. 7 and 8 , which is towards the distal end of the discharge tube. The pin thereby engages one of the grooves when the end piece is rotated. Thus, the end piece will preferably lock into one of three positions, defined by engagement of the pin with one of the grooves. - The purpose of the
end piece 63 is to facilitate the insertion and removal of a filter bag over the discharge tube. -
FIG. 3 shows afilter bag 65, in phantom, inserted over the tube. The filter bag, which may be made of any filtration material, preferably comprises at least two layers which are joined to form an enclosure, but which are open at one end. Thus, the upper end of the bag defines a loop which can be inserted around the body, by sliding the bag onto the discharge tube. Thus, layers 66 and 67 are joined together, by thermal sealing or sewing or any other suitable method, except at the part where the bag is intended to fit over the discharge tube. When the bag has been looped around the body of the tube, the bag is suspended from the tube. - After the bag is inserted over the discharge tube, the
end piece 63 can be rotated to one of its perpendicular positions (such as is represented inFIG. 8 ), thereby tending to prevent the filter bag from sliding off the tube. When it is necessary to remove and replace the filter bag, the end piece can again be rotated to its parallel position, i.e. the position shown inFIG. 3 or 7, to allow the bag to slide easily off the tube. -
FIG. 4 provides a partially fragmentary elevational view showing the discharge tube, the filter bag, and the reservoir. Fluid is conveyed throughhose 70, and flows throughvalve 71, according to the setting ofvalve control 72. Manifold or mount 73 connects the tube to a wall or other structure.Filter bag 74 is fitted over thedischarge tube 75. -
FIG. 4 also illustrates the two possible positions ofend piece 76. The position shown in full is the position wherein the end piece is generally perpendicular to the discharge tube, so as to prevent the bag from becoming removed from the tube. The position shown in dotted outline is the position wherein the end piece is generally parallel to the axis of the tube. The latter position allows the bag to be inserted or removed. The end piece has another allowed position, i.e. where the end piece is perpendicular to the tube and facing downward instead of upward. -
FIG. 4 also illustrates the flow of coolant, before and after filtration. The coolant fluid flows into the discharge tube, and out of the tube through the slot (not visible inFIG. 4 ). The fluid is then largely contained within the bag, and flows out of the bag, through the interstices of the filter material. The particles and droplets of oil which were suspended in the fluid become trapped in the bag. The filtered fluid seeps through the pores of the filter material, and thus falls out of the bag and intoreservoir 77. - As noted above, the
slot 52 preferably extends along most of the length of the discharge tube, so as not to interfere with the flow of fluid coolant out of the tube. The length of the slot should be slightly less than the length of the filter bag, which preferably covers the slot. If the filter bag does not span all of the slot, some fluid will fall out without being filtered. Depending on the specific configuration of the filter bag, the slot could be replaced by some other opening, having a different length or shape, if desired. -
FIG. 5 provides a fragmentary perspective view showing the present invention in an environment in which it is typically used. Anenclosure 80, includingwall 81, houses a millingmachine 82 or the like. Acoolant distribution device 83 directs coolant fluid onto a workpiece which is being machined. Afilter bag 84 is visible at the left-hand side, mounted overdischarge tube 85. The figure also showsend piece 86 and manifold or mountingblock 87. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 5 , the filter bag is suspended at a relatively high position above the floor level. In the example shown, the machine is completely enclosed during operation, the equipment being controlled entirely by computer. Therefore, in operation, the spraying of coolant makes the inside of the enclosure akin to an operating dishwasher, in which a large amount of fluid is sprayed through much or all of the interior space. Thus, the vertical position of the filter bag is irrelevant, because the amount of fluid flow through the bag is dwarfed by the fluid otherwise being sprayed through the interior of the enclosure. However, if the invention were used in an environment where the machine is not closed off during operation, it might be appropriate to position the bag closer to the floor, to minimize splatter of fluid. - In the embodiments described so far, the coolant valve has been shown as part of the discharge tube.
FIG. 6 shows an alternative embodiment, in which the valve is positioned remotely with respect to the tube. In particular,coolant valve 90 is shown adjacent tohose 91 which introduces the fluid. But anotherhose 92 separates the valve fromdischarge tube 93. Except for the position of the valve, the embodiment ofFIG. 6 is similar to the other embodiment, and works in substantially the same way. - The present invention includes the method of filtration of a coolant fluid using a filter bag disposed over a discharge tube. The end piece of the discharge tube is positioned to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube. A filter bag is inserted over the discharge tube, and the end piece is rotated to a position which is perpendicular to the axis of the tube. Thus, the bag is held on the discharge tube. Some of the recirculating coolant fluid is directed into the tube. Due to the slot in the tube, the fluid flows by gravity into the bag. The bag traps particles suspended in the fluid, as well as droplets of oil in the fluid, and the filtered fluid flows through the pores in the filter material, and into a reservoir for recirculation.
- When the bag becomes filled with particles and/or oil, the end piece of the discharge tube is moved to the parallel position, and the bag is removed from the tube. A new, clean bag is inserted over the discharge tube, and the process is repeated.
- As is apparent from
FIG. 2 , the coolant fluid is simultaneously delivered to the workpiece and to the discharge tube. Thus, the fluid flowing intoconduit 39 does not, at any one moment, comprise all of the fluid delivered by the pump. Therefore, not all of the fluid flowing to the nozzle is filtered at once. But because the system recirculates the fluid, the filtered and non-filtered fluid becomes mixed, and after several cycles, virtually all of the fluid can be expected to have passed at least once through the filter. - It is important that the flow of coolant fluid to the workpiece not be interrupted. Therefore,
valve 41 is set by opening it just so far as to cause a very slight reduction in flow at the nozzle. Then, the valve may be moved very slightly towards the closed position, so that the flow at the nozzle is the same as it was whenvalve 41 was closed. In other words,valve 41 is set to allow the discharge tube to receive the maximum practical flow of fluid, without reducing the flow to the nozzle. The proportion of the fluid that goes to the discharge tube is determined by the capacity of the pump and the size of the fluid conduits. - There are two types of preferred fabric material used for the filter bag. Both types are made of polypropylene. The first is a spun bond, and the other is a melt blown fabric. Either type may be used, depending on the application. There may be as many as four layers used to form the bag. Also, the weight of the fabric can vary. While the above-described material is preferred, the invention is not limited to use with a particular type of material.
- In
FIG. 2 , instead of having a single, unbroken conduit leading fromreservoir 31 to pump 35, thesump 33 may comprise a separate tank, located at the bottom. The tank would be fed by a shorter conduit which carries fluid from the reservoir. Thepump 35 would then lift the fluid from that tank. Either arrangement can be used with the present invention. - The invention can be modified in still other ways. The particular material used to make the filter bag can be varied. The shape of the opening or slot, in the discharge tube, can be modified. The structure of the end piece could be different. The positioning of the device of the invention can be changed.
- These and other variations, which will be apparent to the reader skilled in the art, should be considered within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
