  • Patent number: 10688615
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a temperature control system that may be applied to a machine tool. The system includes a cooling circulation and a controller. The cooling circulation comprises a pump, a cooler and a solenoid valve. The pump may be driven by a variable frequency motor so as to flow through the spindle of the machine tool. The cooler is serially connected with the liquid pump, and may cool the liquid coolant. The solenoid valve connects to inlet and outlet of the cooler, and may prevent the liquid coolant flows through the spindle from flowing back to the cooler. The controller is electrically connected with the variable frequency motor, the cooler and the solenoid valve. Further, the controller is connected to the machine tool to detect several parameters, so as to control the variable frequency motor, the cooler and the solenoid valve.

  • Patent number: 10022830
    Abstract: A clamping and positioning device includes a base, a rotary member, a moving assembly and an elastic member. The rotary member is rotatably disposed on the base and includes a stopping surface facing the base. The moving assembly includes a moving member movably disposed on the base to have a first and a second position. When being at the first position, the moving member is pressed against the rotary member to allow the stopping surface to apply a normal force to the base; when being at the second position, a gap is formed between the moving member and the rotary member so the normal force applied by the stopping surface of the rotary member is released from the base. The elastic member has two ends connected to the base and the moving member, respectively. The elastic member normally causes the moving member to be at the first position.
