Abstract
An electric discharge machine 1 incudes: a machining tank 11; a dirty fluid tank 13; a circulation pump 21; a filter unit 3 including a filter element 31 and a filter case 33; a fixing mechanism 5 fixing the filter unit; a clean fluid tank 15; and a fluid feeding pump 23. The fixing mechanism includes: a bracket 51 fixed in a predetermined position; a rotating member 53 rotatably connected to the bracket; a lever 6 having: a link 61 of which one end is connected to the rotating member, a nut 63 arranged on the other end of the link, and a rod 65 screwed with the nut; a locked member 55 fixed to the bracket and engaged with the rod; and a pressing member 7 of which one end is connected to the rotating member 53 and the other end presses the filter case.
Claims6
An electric discharge machine comprising:
- a machining tank in which a workpiece is accommodated;
- a dirty fluid tank which stores a machining fluid drained from the machining tank;
- a circulation pump which draws up the machining fluid in the dirty fluid tank;
- a filter unit comprising a filter element which filters the machining fluid fed by the circulation pump and a filter case which accommodates the filter element;
- a fixing mechanism which fixes the filter unit;
- a clean fluid tank which stores the machining fluid filtered by the filter unit;
- and
- a fluid feeding pump which draws up the machining fluid in the clean fluid tank and feeds the machining fluid to the machining tank;
- wherein
- the fixing mechanism comprises:
- a bracket which is fixed in a predetermined position;
- a rotating member which is rotatably connected to the bracket;
- a lever having a link of which one end is connected to the rotating member, a nut arranged on the other end of the link, and a rod screwed with the nut;
- a locked member which is fixed to the bracket and engaged with the rod;
- and
- a pressing member of which one end is connected to the rotating member and the other end presses the filter case.
