Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning device and a cleaning method, in particular to an automated cleaning device and a cleaning method suitable for welding workpieces. Background Art
[0002] Under the general trend of automotive lightweighting, the application of aluminum alloy materials is becoming more and more widespread. In particular, the production of new energy vehicle battery trays generally adopts the aluminum alloy material welding and forming process. As the carrier of the new energy vehicle battery module, the battery tray not only has strict requirements for mechanical strength, but also has very high requirements for cleanliness after welding and forming. In the production process of the above-mentioned aluminum alloy battery tray, the two major factors affecting cleanliness are residual cutting fluid and welding ash. Among them, the residual cutting fluid is the cutting fluid attached to the battery tray during the machining of the product; the welding ash is due to the welding and forming of workpieces usually using technologies such as MIG welding (i.e., inert gas shielded arc welding, which uses inert gas to cover the welding part to promote arc stability and prevent changes in welding quality, and at the same time uses arc heat to melt the metal of the welding part and feeds in the welding rod to connect the weld seam) and laser welding. In particular, the MIG welding process is widely used in the production process of automotive aluminum alloy parts. However, after aluminum alloy MIG welding, black ash will be generated and attached near the weld bead, seriously affecting the cleanliness and appearance quality of the workpiece. Therefore, after the aluminum alloy battery tray welding operation is completed, it is necessary to clean it.
[0003] In the prior art, for the problem of post-welding cleaning treatment of the above-mentioned aluminum alloy battery tray, the methods of manual wiping and immersion cleaning are usually adopted. Among them, manual wiping is to use a cleaning agent in cooperation with a wire brush or cotton cloth to clean the workpiece, which has defects such as low work efficiency and unstable cleaning effect. In addition, the manual wiping method also has the problem of being difficult to connect with an automated production line; immersion cleaning is to first immerse the workpiece in a water tank added with a cleaning agent for a certain period of time, and then transfer it to clean water for rinsing. This method has a high equipment usage cost. At the same time, due to the addition of a cleaning agent during cleaning, a large amount of polluted wastewater will be generated, increasing the cost of wastewater treatment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides an automated cleaning device and a cleaning method for welding workpieces, aiming to optimize and design an automated cleaning device matching the aluminum alloy battery tray, and at the same time innovate an automated cleaning method to achieve the purpose of improving the cleaning work efficiency and reducing the production cost.

[0044] Referring to FIG. 1, the automatic cleaning equipment for welded workpieces of the present invention includes a weld slag cleaning unit 1, an overall workpiece cleaning unit 2, a rinsing unit 3, an air knife unit 4, a vacuum drying unit 5 and a transfer mechanism (not shown in the figure); the weld slag cleaning unit 1, the overall workpiece cleaning unit 2, the rinsing unit 3, the air knife unit 4, and the vacuum drying unit 5 are arranged in corresponding workstations in sequence along the workpiece feeding direction, and the transfer mechanism is used to complete the transfer of the workpiece between adjacent two workstations; the overall workpiece cleaning unit 2 is provided with a cleaning workbench 2-1 and a plurality of groups of high-pressure fixed nozzles 2-2 arranged above the cleaning workbench 2-1, and the high-pressure fixed nozzles 2-2 are connected to a high-pressure cleaning water pump; the rinsing unit 3 is provided with a rinsing workbench 3-1 and a plurality of groups of rinsing nozzles 3-2 arranged above the rinsing workbench 3-1, the rinsing nozzles 3-2 are connected in a circulating water pipeline, and a circulating pump and a filter are arranged in the circulating water pipeline.
[0045] Referring to Figure 2 、Figure 3 、 Figure 4 , in the welding workpiece automatic cleaning equipment described in the present invention, the weld ash cleaning unit 1 is provided with a mechanical arm 1-1, a high-pressure water gun 1-2, a positioner 1-3 and a workpiece fixing platform 1-4, the mechanical arm 1-1 is arranged in two groups symmetrically on the left and right, and each group of mechanical arms 1-1 is equipped with a high-pressure water gun 1-2, the water inlet end of the high-pressure water gun 1-2 is connected to a high-pressure water pump, and an eccentric rotating nozzle and / or a double-mouth rotating nozzle is equipped at the water outlet end of the high-pressure water gun 1-2, which can drive the high-pressure water pump through the mechanical arm 1-1. The gun 1-2 moves in space, so that the nozzle of the high-pressure water gun 1-2 is aligned with the weld position of the welding workpiece 6. The left and right sides of the positioner 1-3 are provided with a servo motor 1-3-1 and a rotating shaft 1-3-2 connected to the output end of the servo motor. The left and right sides of the workpiece fixing platform 1-4 are respectively fixedly assembled with the corresponding rotating shaft 1-3-2 on the positioner 1-3. The workpiece fixing platform 1-4 is provided with a workpiece clamping mechanism 1-5, which is a plurality of groups of pneumatic clamps arranged around the fixing platform 1-4.
[0046] See Figure 5 、 Figure 6 , in the welding workpiece automatic cleaning equipment described in the present invention, the eccentric rotary nozzle equipped on the high-pressure water gun 1-2 includes a rotating body 1-2-1 and an eccentric nozzle 1-2-2. The rotating body 1-2-1 is a cylindrical sleeve structure, one end of which is assembled with the water inlet joint of the high-pressure water gun 1-2, and the eccentric nozzle 1-2-2 is installed on the other end face of the rotating body 1-2-1.

The rotation of the rotating body 1-2-1 drives the eccentric nozzle 1-2-2 to rotate, and the water flow is ejected from the rotating eccentric nozzle 1-2-2 to form a rotating annular water column. The rotational force and the high-pressure impact force are combined. When it contacts the dirty surface of the workpiece, it will produce a very strong peeling effect, and the dirt will be washed away instantly.

The rotating body 1-2-1 is a stepped sleeve structure, and its small diameter end is assembled with the water inlet joint of the high-pressure water gun 1-2 through a bearing. Two eccentric nozzles 1-2-2 are installed on its large diameter end surface. During cleaning, the front nozzle can be driven by the bearing to rotate at a high speed to form an annular water column. Due to the high speed of the bearing matching structure and the two nozzles at the front of the nozzle, the water flow is larger, so the stripping effect and cleaning effect are better.
