[20] Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the appended drawings.
[21] In the drawings, FIG. 1 is a view showing a use state of the present invention.
[22] As shown in FIG. 1, a cooling water inlet 4 and a cooling water outlet 5 of a hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1 is connected to a cooling water tank 6 so that cooling water can circulate through the inside of a heat exchange pipe 20 disposed at the inside of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1, an oil inlet 2 and an oil outlet 3 of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1 are connected to a hydraulic machine so that hot hydraulic-operating oil can flow through the outer side of the heat exchange pipe 20 disposed at the inside of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1.
[23] In this regard, heat exchange is produced between the hot hydraulic-operating oil, which is circulating from the hydraulic machine to the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1, and the cooling water circulating from the cooling water tank 6 through the inside of the heat exchange pipe 20 disposed at the inside of the hydraulic- operating oil cooling apparatus 1, so that the hot hydraulic-operating oil is cooled and supplied again to the hydraulic machine.
[24] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus of the present invention.
[25] As shown in FIG. 2, the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1 of the present invention comprises several units 10 arranged in series, and two cap clogging plates 9, two rear caps 8 and two front caps 7 are respectively engaged at both ends of the respective unit 10. An oil inlet 2 and an oil outlet 3 are formed above the unit 10, which are engaged at both ends among the several units 10 forming the body of the hydraulic- operating oil cooling apparatus 1 after they are connected in series, and a cooling water inlet 4 and a cooling water outlet 5 are formed at the front cap 7.
[26] FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing a rear cap 8 and a cap clogging plate
9 of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1 of the present invention.
[27] A rear cap 8 is engaged at one side of the body of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1, which is constructed by engaging several units 10 in series as shown in FIG. 2, and two cap clogging plates 9 are disposed at an intermediate portion of the rear cap 8 and the body constructed by engaging several units 10 as shown in FIG. 3, and a sealing 16 is inserted between the two cap clogging plates 9.
[28] As shown in FIG. 3, a hole-shaped heat exchange pipe engaging opening 19 is formed at each cap clogging plate 9, and a sealing recess 17 is formed at one side of the cap clogging plate 9 by chamfering the heat exchange pipe engaging opening 19, as shown in FIG. 3. Then, a sealing member is mounted on a portion where the sealing recess 17 is machined at the heat exchange pipe engaging opening 19, i. e., at a portion where the heat exchange pipe engaging openings 19 formed at the two cap clogging plates 9 are formed when the two cap clogging plates 9 are engaged with each other.
[29] The reason of inserting the sealing member 16 between the two cap clogging plates 9 is to prevent leakage of the hydraulic-operating oil, which flows through the inside of the unit 10, through a gap of the heat exchange pipe engaging opening 19 of the cap clogging plate 9.
[30] In addition to the method as described above, the present invention can be carried out with using one cap clogging plate 9. In this regard, a heat exchange pipe 20 is inserted into a cap clogging plate 9 formed with a heat exchange pipe engaging opening 19, and the heat exchange pipe 20 is brought into contact with the heat exchange pipe engaging opening 19 of the cap clogging plate 9 by using a pipe enlarging device so that the leakage of the hydraulic-operating oil flowing through the inside of the unit 10 can be prevented.
[31] Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, the rear cap 8 engaged at one side of the hydraulic- operating oil cooling apparatus 1 constructed by engaging several units 10, and the front cap 7 engaged at the other side of the body are engaged with the body by means of the two cap clogging plates 9. In this instance, only one cap clogging plate 9 can be used as described above.
[32] In the present embodiment, a plurality of heat exchange pipes 20 are installed at the inside of the body constructed by engaging several units 10, each of the heat exchange pipe 20 is securely inserted into the heat exchange pipe engaging opening 19 of the cap clogging plate 9 mounted at both sides of the body, as shown in FIG. 4. The heat exchange pipe 20 is formed with thread- shaped fins 21 at the outer surface thereof, as shown in FIG. 4. In this regard, when the heat exchange pipe 20 is inserted into the heat exchange pipe engaging opening 19 of the cap clogging plate 9, it is carried out in such a manner that the thread shaped fins 21 formed at the heat exchange pipe 20 overlap with each other.
[33] In other words, the heat exchange pipe 20 is inserted into the heat exchange pipe engaging opening 19 of the cap clogging plate 20 in such a manner that the fins 21 formed at the outer surface of the heat exchange pipe 20 to be installed are disposed to be overlapped with the fins 21 of the heat exchange pipe 20, which has been already installed, as shown in FIG. 4. The thread-shaped fins 21 are inserted into the heat exchange pipe engaging openings 19 while being overlapped with the fins 21 of the other heat exchange pipe 20 when the heat exchange pipe 20 is rotated.
[34] Thus, when the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus is constructed in such a manner that fins 21 of the heat exchange pipe 20 are overlapped with each other, more heat exchange pipes 20 can be installed at the inside of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1 to thereby improve the cooling efficiency.
[35] FIG. 5 is a partial perspective view of the unit 10 constituting the body of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1, when several units are engaged with each other.
[36] As shown in FIG. 5, an engaging groove 14 is formed at one side of the unit 10, a projection 15 is formed at the other side and a cooling water passageway 18 and an engaging hole 13 are formed at the inside of the unit 20.
[37] FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a packing 23 inserted into an intermediate portion of the unit 10, when each unit 10 is engaged. As shown in FIG. 6, the packing 23 made of rubber material and formed in a donut shape, is formed with a projecting portion 31, an engaging hole 13 and a cooling water passageway 18. In addition, clogging plates 24, each of which is formed with a support rod hole 25, are engaged at both sides of the projecting portion 31 of the packing 23.
[38] FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of a packing 23 inserted into an intermediate portion of the unit 10 when each unit 10 is engaged. As shown in FIG. 7, the packing 23 and the clogging plate 24 can be integrally constructed by inserting the clogging plate 24 into the projecting portion 31 of the packing 23.
[39] FIG. 8 is a structural view of a front cap 7, and FIG. 9 is a structural view showing a rear cap 8.
[40] As shown in FIG. 8, the front cap 7 is formed with a cooling water inlet 4 and a cooling water outlet 5, and a partition 26 is provided between the cooling water inlet 4 and the cooling water outlet 5 to separate the cooling water inlet 4 and the cooling water outlet 5. In addition, an engaging hole 13 and a cooling water body inlet 12 are formed alternatively at the front cap 7 and the rear cap 8. Hereinafter, the present invention as constructed above will be explained in detail.
[41] FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of a hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is an exploded perspective view of a hydraulic- operating oil cooling apparatus of the present invention.
[42] As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, in the present embodiment of the invention, a body of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1 is formed by engaging several units 10 in series, and a packing 23 formed with a clogging plate 24 is inserted into an intermediate portion of the unit 10 when each unit 10 is engaged with each other, and an oil inlet 2 and an oil outlet 3 are formed at the unit engaged at both ends thereof.
[43] In this instance, as shown in FIG. 10, the clogging plate 24 can be firmly secured at the inside of the body of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1 by constructing that the supporting rod groove 22 of the packing 23 and the supporting rod groove 22 of the clogging plate 24 should be inserted into the support rod 28, when the packing is inserted into an intermediate portion of the unit 10.
[44] As described above, according to the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus of the present invention, two cap clogging plates 9 are engaged at both ends of the body of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus, to which several units 10 are engaged in series, and a sealing member 16 is mounted on a sealing recess 17 formed at a heat exchange pipe engaging opening 19 of a cap clogging plate 9 to thereby prevent leakage of the hydraulic-operating oil in the body. The front cap 7 and the rear cap 8 are engaged at both sides of the body as constructed above. In addition, the unit 10 and the cap clogging plate 9 are firmly secured because concave engaging grooves 14 are formed at one side of each unit 10 and the cap clogging plate 9, and convex projections 15 are formed at the other side thereof.
[45] The front cap 7 is formed with a cooling water inlet 4 and a cooling water outlet 5, which are separated from each other by a partition 26, and the rear cap 8 is formed with a circulation water chamber 11, and a cooling water body inlet 12 is formed at the front cap 7 and the rear cap 8 to communicate them to a body cooling water passageway 18.
[46] When the hydraulic-operating oil of the hydraulic machine is introduced through the oil inlet 2, as shown in FIG. 10, the hydraulic-operating oil passes through the heat exchange pipe 20 in the zigzag direction due to the clogging plate 24 formed at the packing 23 and is discharged through the oil outlet 3 and supplied into again to the hydraulic machine. When the cooling water is supplied through the cooling water inlet 4 of the front cap 7, a portion of the cooling water passes through the inside of the heat exchange pipe 20 engaged with the cap clogging plate 9 and passes through the circulation water chamber 11 of the rear cap 8 and again through the heat exchange pipe 20 and is collected in a discharge water chamber 27 formed at the front cap 7 and discharged through the cooling water outlet 5.
[47] As shown in FIG. 10, a portion of the cooling water supplied through the cooling water inlet 4 passes through the cooling water body inlet 12 of the front cap 7 and the body cooling water passageway 18 of each unit 10, which is connected to each other in
series, resulting in the collection in the circulation water chamber 11 of the rear cap 8, and the cooling water collected in the circulation water chamber 11 passes through the cooling water body inlet 12 of the rear cap 8 and through the body cooling water passageway 18 of each unit 10, resulting in the collection in the discharge water chamber 27 of the front cap 7 and it is discharged through the cooling water outlet 5.
[48] Thus, the hot hydraulic-operating oil passing through the inside of the heat exchange pipe 20 disposed at the inside of the body of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1 in the zigzag movement is cooled by the cooling water passing through the inside of the body of the unit 10 and the inside of the heat exchange pipe 20 by means of the processes as described above.
[49] In this instance, as shown in FIG. 4, the heat exchange pipe 20 is formed with thread- shaped fins 21 at the outer surface of the heat exchange pipe 20, the cooling efficiency can be maximized by disposing more and more heat exchange pipes 20 at the inside of the body of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1 because each of the heat exchange pipe 20 is constructed in such a manner that fins thereof overlap with each other.
[50] If the packing 23, which is formed integrally with the clogging plate 24 at the inside of the packing 23 as shown in FIG. 7, is engaged at an intermediate portion of the unit 10, the clogging plate 24 of the packing 23 can be firmly secured to the inside of the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1 without the supporting rod 28 as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11.
[51] FIG. 12 is an exploded perspective view showing another embodiment of the present invention.
[52] In the present embodiment, the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus comprises a body 29 formed integrally with an oil inlet 2 and an oil outlet 3, and two supporting rods 28 provided with the clogging plates 24 by a predetermined interval, are inserted into a supporting rod engaging hole 30 and the heat exchange pipe engaging opening 19 of the cap clogging plates 9, which are engaged at both sides of the body 29, and disposed at the inside of the body 29. In addition, the hydraulic-operating oil cooling apparatus 1 is constructed by engaging the front cap 7 and the rear cap 8 at both the cap clogging plates 9 of the body 29.
[53] In this instance, an end portion of the heat exchange pipe 20, which is inserted into the heat exchange pipe engaging opening 19 of the cap clogging plate 9, is constructed to prevent leakage of the hydraulic-operating oil passing through the periphery of the heat exchange pipe 20 by enlarging the pipe. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the hydraulic-operating oil passing through the periphery of the heat exchange pipe 20 can be prevented from leakage by using two cap clogging plates 9 and sealing members 16.
