Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bearing production equipment, and in particular to a bearing cleaning machine. Background Art

[0002] During the bearing production process, the various components of the bearing need to be assembled to form semi-finished products, and then the semi-finished products need to be cleaned to reduce the impact of impurities on the components on the bearing performance. The semi-finished products can only be called finished products after cleaning.

[0003] At present, when semi-finished products after assembly are cleaned, ultrasonic shaking cleaning machines are usually used to clean them. The working principle of the ultrasonic shaking cleaning machine is to place multiple semi-finished products in a container and drive the container to move in and out of a cleaning tank filled with cleaning liquid in a shaking manner, so that the multiple semi-finished products in the container are fully in contact with the cleaning liquid; at the same time, the ultrasonic shaking cleaning machine will generate ultrasonic waves in the cleaning tank, using ultrasonic waves to help clean the semi-finished products in the cleaning tank.

[0004] However, during the use of the ultrasonic shaking cleaning machine, multiple semi-finished products placed in the container are prone to collide with each other during the shaking movement of the container, causing wear or damage to the bearing surfaces of the semi-finished products, thereby resulting in a decrease in the quality of the bearing products obtained after cleaning, and may even cause the bearing products obtained after cleaning to be scrapped. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application provides a bearing cleaning machine that can reduce the probability of wear or damage to the semi-finished bearings during the cleaning process while ensuring the cleaning effect of the semi-finished bearings.

[0006] This application provides a bearing cleaning machine, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A bearing cleaning machine comprises a machine body, a plurality of feeding mechanisms, a plurality of transporting mechanisms, a plurality of cleaning mechanisms, a plurality of air-drying mechanisms and a plurality of material holding frames, wherein the feeding mechanisms, the cleaning mechanisms, the air-drying mechanisms and the material holding frames are sequentially arranged on the machine body along the length direction of the machine body;

[0008] The transport mechanism includes a transport track, a driving member and a pushing member. The transport track is arranged on the machine body, and the length direction of the transport track is parallel to the length direction of the machine body. The loading mechanism and the material holding frame are respectively located at both ends of the length direction of the transport track, and the transport track passes through several cleaning mechanisms and several air-drying mechanisms. A transport groove for the bearing to pass through is provided on the transport track along its length direction. Two make way grooves are also provided on the transport track. The two make way grooves are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the transport groove so that the transport groove is connected to the outside world.

[0009] The driving member is arranged on the machine body and is located at one end of the transport track close to the loading mechanism. The pushing member is connected to the driving member. The driving member drives the pushing member to move along the length direction of the transport track. The pushing member pushes the bearing fed by the loading mechanism into the transport trough and drives the bearing to move toward the direction close to the material holding frame.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple semi-finished bearings are placed in the loading mechanism, and the loading mechanism transports the semi-finished bearings to the transportation mechanism one by one. The driving member drives the pushing member to move back and forth to transport the semi-finished bearings one by one on the transportation track. The semi-finished bearings move along the transportation trough and pass through the cleaning mechanism and the air-drying mechanism in turn. The cleaning mechanism cleans the semi-finished bearings to reduce impurities on the surface of the semi-finished bearings; the air-drying mechanism keeps the surface of the cleaned semi-finished bearings dry, and finally transports the blanks to the material holding frame to obtain finished bearings; the semi-finished bearings are cleaned in the process of being transported one by one, and the cleaning mechanism and the air-drying mechanism can both clean and air-dry the semi-finished bearings in the transportation trough through the yield groove. Each semi-finished bearing can be regarded as an independent individual that is cleaned and air-dried, so that the bearing cleaning machine has a higher cleaning effect on the semi-finished bearings, and effectively reduces the probability of wear or damage between the semi-finished bearings during the cleaning process.

[0011] Optionally, the cleaning mechanism includes an ultrasonic cleaning device and a water washing device.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the semi-finished bearings are transported through the cleaning mechanism, in addition to the ultrasonic cleaning device cleaning the semi-finished bearings, there is also a water washing device to clean the semi-finished bearings. The two water washing methods can improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning mechanism on the semi-finished bearings.

[0013] Optionally, it also includes several blocking parts, which are mounted on the transport track. The blocking parts are respectively located at one end of the ultrasonic cleaning device away from the water washing device, between the ultrasonic cleaning device and the water washing device, and at one end of the water washing device away from the ultrasonic cleaning device.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, several sealing parts are used to seal the gap between the transport track and the cleaning mechanism, thereby reducing the probability of cleaning liquid flowing out of the gap between the transport track and the cleaning mechanism during the operation of the cleaning mechanism, thereby reducing the waste caused by the outflow of cleaning liquid, and at the same time reducing the pollution caused by the outflow of cleaning liquid to the surrounding environment.

[0015] Optionally, it further comprises a plurality of water-absorbing anti-seepage members, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the plurality of cleaning mechanisms, and the anti-seepage members are located below the transport track.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when cleaning liquid still leaks out after the gap between the transport track and the cleaning mechanism is sealed with a sealing member, the leaked cleaning liquid will eventually flow onto the anti-seepage member and be absorbed by the anti-seepage member, thereby further reducing the pollution caused by the leakage of cleaning liquid to the surrounding environment.

[0017] Optionally, the air-drying mechanism includes a cold air device and a hot air device sequentially arranged along the moving direction of the bearing.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of transporting the semi-finished bearings through the air-drying mechanism, the semi-finished bearings are first air-dried by the cold air device to reduce the cleaning liquid attached to the surface of the semi-finished bearings, and then the semi-finished bearings are air-dried by the hot air device to remove the remaining cleaning liquid attached to the surface of the semi-finished bearings so that the surface of the semi-finished bearings remains dry, thereby improving the cleanliness of the finished bearings finally obtained.

[0019] Optionally, a mating groove adapted to the bearing is provided at one end of the pushing member away from the driving member, and the pushing member has spacer portions on both sides of the mating groove; during the movement of the pushing member, the mating groove is engaged with one of the bearings, and the spacer portion separates the bearing from other bearings.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, in the process of the driving member driving the pushing member to move in the direction close to the transport track, the pushing member will push the semi-finished bearing to move, and at the same time the semi-finished bearing will adapt to the matching groove, thereby improving the position stability of the semi-finished bearing after the pushing member pushes the semi-finished bearing to move, and improving the probability that the pushing member pushes the semi-finished product to the same position each time; at the same time, in the process of the pushing member moving in the direction close to the transport track, the spacer can separate the semi-finished bearing adjacent to the semi-finished bearing to be pushed from the semi-finished bearing to be pushed, thereby reducing the probability of the pushing member pushing multiple semi-finished bearings to move at the same time, and improving the reliability of the transport mechanism during use.

[0021] Optionally, the transport mechanism further comprises a plurality of balls, and the transport track is provided with two movable channels for the plurality of balls to circulate, and the two movable channels are respectively located on both sides of the transport trough;

[0022] The movable channel includes a connecting section and a circulation section. The connecting section is parallel to the transport track in length and communicates with the transport trough. The circulation section is located above the connecting section, and both ends of the circulation section are respectively communicated with both ends of the connecting section. After the bearings move into the transport trough, the balls in the connecting section abut against the bearings, and the bearings are centered in the transport trough.

[0023] The spacer has a push rod at one end close to the transport track, and two through holes are provided at one end of the transport track close to the loading mechanism. The through holes pass through the transport track and are communicated with the movable channel, and the position where the through holes communicate with the movable channel is located at the junction of the connecting section and the circulation section. The push member moves to drive the push rod in and out of the through holes. After passing through the through holes, the push rod pushes several of the balls located in the connecting section to move toward the material holding frame and enter the circulation section.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pushing member moves to push the semi-finished bearing into the transport trough and moves along the transport trough, the two push rods respectively drive a number of balls located on both sides of the transport trough to move in a circular motion along the corresponding movable channels, and a number of balls located in the connecting section remain in contact with the corresponding semi-finished bearings during the movement, thereby limiting the semi-finished bearings to pass through the transport trough at a position in the center of the transport trough, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning mechanism and the air-drying mechanism on the semi-finished bearings in the transport trough through the give way groove, and reducing the probability of the semi-finished bearings having cleaning dead corners in the transport trough.

[0025] Optionally, after the plurality of bearings move into the transport trough, there is a distance between adjacent bearings and the distances are equal.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the pushing member moves to drive the semi-finished bearing to move along the transport trough, while driving several balls to move synchronously along the movable channel. Several balls keep the adjacent semi-finished bearings in the transport trough at the same distance, thereby reducing the probability of wear or damage caused by contact between the semi-finished bearings during transportation. At the same time, it can further reduce the cleaning dead corners of the semi-finished bearings in the transport trough, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the bearing cleaning machine on the semi-finished bearings.

[0027] Optionally, the transport mechanism further includes two limiting components, the limiting components are arranged at one end of the transport track close to the feeding mechanism, and the two limiting components correspond to the two movable channels one by one;

[0028] The limiting assembly includes a movable part and an elastic part. The movable part is slidably connected to the transport track, and the movable part slides in and out of the circulation section close to one end of the connecting section; the elastic part is also arranged on the transport track, and the elastic part drives the movable part to slide into the circulation section and maintain it, and the movable part slides into the circulation section to push the ball to move toward the direction close to the connecting section.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, after the pushing member moves and drives the push rod to push the ball in the connecting section to move, after the pushing member moves and drives the push rod to leave the connecting section, the movable member can automatically drive the ball located in the circulation section and close to one end of the connecting section to enter the connecting section to fill the gap under the drive of the elastic member, so that the pushing member can still drive the push rod to push the ball in the connecting section to move next time it moves, thereby realizing circulation; at the same time, it can reduce the probability that after the push rod leaves the connecting section and forms a gap in the movable channel, the ball is stuck in the circulation section and cannot spontaneously move into the connecting section to fill the cavity, thereby improving the reliability of the transportation mechanism during use.

[0030] Optionally, when the movable part enters the circulation section, it occupies the space required by several of the balls. At this time, the movable part restricts several of the balls from spontaneously moving in the movable channel; when the push rod pushes the balls to move, the balls drive the movable part to slide out of the circulation section.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pushing member does not move to drive the push rod into the movable channel, the movable member remains in the circulation section under the action of the elastic member. At this time, the several balls in the movable channel can maintain their own positions unchanged, reducing the probability of the semi-finished bearings that were previously offset by them moving due to spontaneous movement of the balls, so that the semi-finished bearings in the transport trough can maintain a centered position and equal spacing; when the pushing member moves to drive the push rod into the movable channel, the movement of several balls drives the movable member to overcome the action of the elastic member and slide out of the circulation section. At this time, the movable member withdraws to leave space for the push rod to enter the movable channel; thereafter, when the pushing member moves to drive the push rod to leave the movable channel, the elastic member will drive the movable member to slide and reset, and make the several balls in the movable channel maintain their own positions unchanged again, further improving the reliability of the transport mechanism during use.

[0032] In summary, this application has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0033] 1. While ensuring the cleaning effect of semi-finished bearings, it can reduce the probability of wear or damage to semi-finished bearings during the cleaning process;

[0034] 2. It can improve the cleaning effect of the bearing cleaning machine on semi-finished bearings, and at the same time reduce the probability of cleaning liquid leakage, thereby reducing the pollution of the cleaning liquid leakage to the surrounding environment;

[0035] 3. It can keep the semi-finished bearings centered in the transport trough while being transported and cleaned, and keep a distance from other semi-finished bearings, thereby reducing the cleaning dead angles of the semi-finished bearings in the transport trough, and further improving the cleaning effect of the bearing cleaning machine on the semi-finished bearings.

[0042] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0043] Example 1:

[0044] Reference Figure 1, the embodiment of the present application discloses a bearing cleaning machine. The bearing cleaning machine includes a machine body 1, a plurality of loading mechanisms 2, a plurality of transporting mechanisms 3, a plurality of cleaning mechanisms 4, a plurality of air-drying mechanisms 5 and a plurality of material holding frames 6, and the loading mechanism 2, the transporting mechanism 3, the cleaning mechanism 4, the air-drying mechanism 5 and the material holding frames 6 are all installed on the machine body 1. Among them, the loading mechanism 2, the cleaning mechanism 4 and the air-drying mechanism 5 are distributed on the machine body 1 in sequence along the length direction of the machine body 1, the transporting mechanism 3 spans the loading mechanism 2, the cleaning mechanism 4 and the air-drying mechanism 5, and the material holding frame 6 is located at the end of the transporting mechanism 3 away from the loading mechanism 2. The loading mechanism 2 transports the semi-finished bearings to the transporting mechanism 3, and the operation of the transporting mechanism 3 drives the semi-finished bearings to move through a plurality of cleaning mechanisms 4 and a plurality of air-drying mechanisms 5 in sequence. The cleaning mechanism 4 cleans the semi-finished bearings, and the air-drying mechanism 5 keeps the surface of the cleaned semi-finished bearings dry. The finished bearings finally obtained are dropped into the material holding frame 6 for collection.

[0045] In this embodiment, the preferred bearing cleaning machine includes a loading mechanism 2, a transport mechanism 3 and a material holding frame 6, that is, the bearing cleaning machine cleans the semi-finished bearings on a single line. In other embodiments, the number of loading mechanisms 2 and transport mechanisms 3 can be increased as needed, thereby increasing the number of lines for the bearing cleaning machine to clean the semi-finished bearings; the preferred bearing cleaning machine includes two cleaning mechanisms 4 and one air-drying mechanism 5. Preferably, two cleaning mechanisms 4 plus one air-drying mechanism 5 have the best cleaning effect on semi-finished bearings. In other embodiments, the number of cleaning mechanisms 4 and the number of air-drying mechanisms 5 included in the bearing cleaning machine may also be different.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The transport mechanism 3 includes a transport track 31 for transporting semi-finished bearings along it. The transport track 31 is fixedly mounted on the machine body 1, and the length direction of the transport track 31 is parallel to the length direction of the machine body 1. The transport track 31 has a transport groove 311 running through it along its length direction for the semi-finished bearings to pass through. The cross-sectional dimensions of the transport groove 311 are larger than the dimensions of the semi-finished bearings, and multiple semi-finished bearings can pass through one by one. The transport track 31 also has two clearance grooves 312, which are located on both sides of the transport groove 311. One end of the clearance groove 312 passes through the transport track 31 and the other end communicates with the transport groove 311. The transport groove 311 communicates with the outside world through the clearance groove 312, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the clearance groove 312 are smaller than the dimensions of the semi-finished bearings.

[0047] Reference Figure 1The feeding mechanism 2 is located on one side of one end of the transport track 31 in the longitudinal direction. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding vibration plate 21 and a feeding track 22. The feeding vibration plate 21 and the feeding track 22 are both fixedly mounted on the machine body 1. The interior of the feeding vibration plate 21 can accommodate multiple semi-finished bearings. The feeding vibration plate 21 can feed the semi-finished bearings into the feeding track 22 with the axis vertical. In this embodiment, since the feeding vibration plate 21 is a common existing technology, it will not be described in detail here.

[0048] One end of the loading track 22 is fixedly connected to the loading vibrating plate 21 and communicates with the interior of the loading vibrating plate 21. The other end of the loading track 22 is fixedly connected to the transport track 31 and communicates with the transport trough 311. To facilitate the movement of semi-finished bearings along the loading track 22, the space for the semi-finished bearings in the loading track 22 is larger than the size of the semi-finished bearings, and the loading vibrating plate 21 can only feed one semi-finished bearing into the loading track 22 at a time. In this embodiment, the length direction of the loading track 22 is preferably perpendicular to the length direction of the transport track 31. In other embodiments, the length direction of the loading track 22 can also be inclined relative to the length direction of the transport track 31.

[0049] The material holding frame 6 is placed on the machine body 1, located at the end of the transport track 31 away from the loading mechanism 2 and below the transport track 31. The finished bearings after cleaning and air drying are discharged from the end of the transport track 31 away from the loading mechanism 2 and fall into the material holding frame 6 for collection.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The transport mechanism 3 further includes a driving member 32 and a pushing member 33. The driving member 32 is fixedly mounted on the machine body 1 and is located on the side of the transport track 31 away from the end of the material holding frame 6. The pushing member 33 is located between the driving member 32 and the transport track 31 and is fixedly connected to the driving member 32. The driving member 32 drives the pushing member 33 to reciprocate in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the transport track 31, and the axis of the pushing member 33 during movement remains aligned with the centerline of the transport trough 311. In this embodiment, the driving member 32 is preferably a cylinder.

[0051] There are restrictions during the movement of the pushing member 33. When the pushing member 33 moves to the extreme position in the direction close to the driving member 32, a space for the semi-finished bearing to transfer is left at the junction of the loading track 22 and the transport track 31. When the semi-finished bearing moves away from the loading track 22, the semi-finished bearing will be located in the above-mentioned space; thereafter, when the driving member 32 drives the pushing member 33 to move to the extreme position in the direction close to the transport track 31, the pushing member 33 will push the semi-finished bearing in the above-mentioned space to enter the transport trough 311.

[0052] The transport mechanism 3 also includes a sensor 7, which is fixedly connected to the body 1 via a mounting bracket and is located directly above the aforementioned space. This sensor 7 can sense the presence of semi-finished bearings below. Signal connections are established between the sensor 7, the driver 32, and the feed vibrating plate 21. In this embodiment, the sensor 7 is preferably an infrared sensor. Since infrared sensors are common in the art, their detailed description is omitted here.

[0053] When the sensing element 7 does not sense the presence of a semi-finished bearing beneath it, the sensing element 7 controls the feeding vibration plate 21 to start; when the sensing element 7 senses the presence of a semi-finished bearing beneath it, the sensing element 7 controls the feeding vibration plate 21 to stop. When the sensing element 7 does not sense the presence of a semi-finished bearing beneath it, the sensing element 7 controls the driving element 32 to drive the pushing element 33 to move away from the transport track 31 to the extreme position and maintain it; when the sensing element 7 senses the presence of a semi-finished bearing beneath it, the sensing element 7 controls the driving element 32 to drive the pushing element 33 to move toward the transport track 31 and push the semi-finished bearing into the transport trough 311; that is, each time the sensing element 7 senses the presence of a semi-finished bearing beneath it, it controls the driving element 32 to drive the pushing element 33 to move back and forth once.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a first housing 41, a water washing device 42, and an ultrasonic cleaning device 43. The first housing 41 is fixedly mounted on the machine body 1. The water washing device 42 and the ultrasonic cleaning device 43 are both mounted inside the first housing 41. A first housing door 411 is rotatably connected to the top of the first housing 41. In this embodiment, the water washing device 42 and the ultrasonic cleaning device 43 are preferably arranged sequentially along the direction in which the semi-finished bearings are transported. In other embodiments, the water washing device 42 and the ultrasonic cleaning device 43 may also be arranged in another order.

[0055] The interior of the first box body 41 is provided with a partition 412 for separating the water washing device 42 and the ultrasonic cleaning device 43. The partition 412 divides the interior of the first box body 41 into two spaces, so that when the semi-finished bearing moves along the transport trough 311 through the interior of the first box body 41, it is cleaned by the water washing device 42 and the ultrasonic cleaning device 43 in two different spaces respectively.

[0056] The transport track 31 passes through the first housing 41 and the partition 412. The water washing device 42 and the ultrasonic cleaning device 43 are both fixedly installed in the first housing 41. The water washing device 42 is located above the transport track 31, and the ultrasonic cleaning device 43 is located below the transport track 31. In this embodiment, the water washing device 42 preferably comprises a plurality of spray pipes that spray a cleaning liquid (specifically for bearings) toward the transport track 31 below. The cleaning liquid can enter the transport trough 311 through the clearance groove 312 and ultimately be sprayed onto the semi-finished bearings. The ultrasonic cleaning device 43 is preferably an ultrasonic generator. The first housing 41 contains a space where the ultrasonic cleaning device 43 is located. When the semi-finished bearing enters the space in the first housing 41 where the ultrasonic cleaning device 43 is located, the cleaning liquid can pass through the clearance groove 312 and completely immerse the semi-finished bearing. Since the spray pipes and ultrasonic generator are both common existing technologies, they will not be described in detail here.

[0057] The bearing cleaning machine also includes several sealing members 8 for reducing leakage of cleaning fluid. These sealing members 8 are mounted on the transport track 31 and fixedly connected to the first housing 41. Once mounted on the transport track 31, they fill the two clearance slots 312 on the transport track 31. Three sealing members 8 are installed on each first housing 41, located at both ends of the first housing 41 and on the partition 412. These members are used to seal the gap between the transport track 31 and the first housing 41, thereby reducing the outflow of cleaning fluid. In this embodiment, the sealing members 8 are preferably made of rubber. For ease of installation, they are preferably formed of two components connected and fixed by screws.

[0058] The bearing cleaning machine also includes several impermeable members 9 capable of absorbing cleaning fluid. These members 9 are fixed to both ends of the first housing 41 via mounting brackets and are located below the transport track 31 and the sealing member 8. If cleaning fluid leaks outside the first housing 41 through the gap between the impermeable members 9 and the first housing 41, the gap between the transport track 31 and the impermeable members 9, or the transport trough 311, the fluid will flow down the outer side of the first housing 41 onto the impermeable members 9 and be absorbed by them. In this embodiment, the impermeable members 9 are preferably sponges.

[0059] The air-drying mechanism 5 includes a second box body 51, a cold air device 52, and a hot air device 53. The cold air device 52 and the hot air device 53 are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the second box body 51. The cold air device 52 and the hot air device 53 are sequentially distributed along the transportation direction of the semi-finished bearings, and the top of the second box body 51 is rotatably connected to a second box door 511. The transportation track 31 also passes through the second box body 51. The cold air device 52 and the hot air device 53 are both located above the transportation track 31. The cold air device 52 and the hot air device 53 are both capable of blowing air toward the transportation track 31. In this embodiment, it is preferred that both the cold air device 52 and the hot air device 53 are fans. The difference between the cold air device 52 and the hot air device 53 is that the temperature of the gas blown out is different. The temperature of the gas blown out by the hot air device 53 is higher than the temperature of the gas blown out by the cold air device 52. The specific temperature of the gas blown out by the cold air device 52 and the hot air device 53 can be adjusted according to demand.

[0060] The implementation principle of a bearing cleaning machine in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0061] When the sensing element 7 does not detect the presence of a semi-finished bearing below, the sensing element 7 controls the feeding vibration plate 21 to operate so that the semi-finished bearing in the feeding vibration plate 21 moves along the feeding track 22 to the bottom of the sensing element 7; when the sensing element 7 detects the presence of a semi-finished bearing below, the sensing element 7 controls the feeding vibration plate 21 to stop, and controls the driving element 32 to drive the pushing element 33 to move, so as to push the semi-finished bearing below the sensing element 7 into the transport trough 311, and this cycle is repeated so that multiple semi-finished bearings move along the transport trough 311 in a manner that they are close to each other;

[0062] After the semi-finished bearing moves along the transport trough 311 into the first box body 41, it is first cleaned by the water washing device 42 and then cleaned by the ultrasonic cleaning device 43. After the semi-finished bearing is cleaned by several cleaning mechanisms 4, it enters the air-drying mechanism 5; after the semi-finished bearing moves along the transport trough 311 into the second box body 51, it is first air-dried by the cold air device 52 and then air-dried by the hot air device 53 to obtain a cleaned and surface-dried finished bearing; finally, the finished bearing leaves the transport track 31 and is unloaded into the material holding frame 6 for collection.

[0063] Example 2:

[0064] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 lies in the transportation mechanism 3.

[0065] Reference Figure 4 The transport mechanism 3 also includes a plurality of balls. Active channels 313 for installing the balls are provided near both sides of the interior of the transport track 31. The two active channels 313 are respectively located on both sides of the transport groove 311.

[0066] The ball is a sphere with a smooth surface, and the surface of the channel wall of the movable channel 313 is also smooth. The ball can rotate freely around its own center in the movable channel 313, and the cross-sectional size of the movable channel 313 is the same as that of the ball.

[0067] The movable channel 313 includes a connecting section 314 and a circulation section 315. The length direction of the connecting section 314 is parallel to the length direction of the transport trough 311. The connecting section 314 is connected to the transport trough 311 and is aligned in the horizontal direction; the circulation section 315 is located on one side of the connecting section 314. Both ends of the circulation section 315 have a bending structure, and the two ends of the circulation section 315 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting section 314. In this embodiment, the circulation section 315 is preferably located above the connecting section 314.

[0068] As the ball moves in the movable channel 313, it can freely enter the circulation section 315 from the connecting section 314 or enter the connecting section 314 from the circulation section 315. In this embodiment, to reduce the probability of the ball getting stuck while moving in the movable channel 313, the junction between the connecting section 314 and the circulation section 315, as well as the bending area of the circulation section 315, preferably have an arc-shaped transition.

[0069] The movable channel 313 also includes a mounting section 316 for installing the ball bearings into the interior of the transport track 31. The two ends of the mounting section 316 are respectively connected to the circulation section 315 and the outside world. In this embodiment, the mounting section 316 is preferably located on the side of the circulation section 315 away from the connecting section 314 and extends through the top of the transport track 31, that is, the mounting section 316 is located above the circulation section 315. The length of the mounting section 316 is perpendicular to the length of the connecting section 314. The transport track 31 is equipped with a plurality of detachable blocks 35 for controlling whether the mounting section 316 is connected to the outside world. In this embodiment, the blocks 35 are preferably detachably connected to the transport track 31 by threaded engagement.

[0070] After the block 35 is installed on the transport track 31, the end face of the block 35 close to one end of the circulation section 315 is flush with the pipe wall of the circulation section 315. At this time, the circulation section 315 and the connecting section 314 together form a movable channel 313 for the circulation and movement of the balls; after the block 35 is removed from the transport track 31, the staff can load or remove the balls through the installation section 316.

[0071] After the plurality of balls are installed in the movable channel 313 , when the plurality of balls abut against each other in sequence, there is space left in the movable channel 313 for installing a plurality of additional balls.

[0072] The transport mechanism 3 also includes two limit assemblies 36 for limiting the positions of a plurality of balls in the movable channel 313. The two limit assemblies 36 correspond one-to-one to the two movable channels 313. The limit assemblies 36 are installed inside the transport track 31 and are located at one end of the transport track 31 close to the driving member 32.

[0073] The limiting assembly 36 includes a movable member 361 and an elastic member 362. The movable member 361 is slidably connected to the transport track 31. The sliding direction of the movable member 361 is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting section 314. The movable member 361 slides in and out of the circulation section 315 near the end of the connecting section 314. The movable member 361 has a limit during its sliding process. When the movable member 361 slides to the extreme position in the direction close to the connecting section 314, the movable member 361 enters the space in the circulation section 315 near the end of the connecting section 314. At this time, the space occupied by the movable member 361 in the circulation section 315 is just enough for the installation of several balls. At this time, the several balls in the same movable channel 313 are all tightly attached to each other, and the balls at the head and tail ends are all against the movable member 361; when the movable member 361 slides to the extreme position in the direction away from the connecting section 314, the movable member 361 retracts into the interior of the transport track 31 and completely exits the circulation section 315. In this embodiment, when the movable member 361 slides to the limit position toward the connecting section 314 , the space occupied by the movable member 361 in the circulation section 315 is just enough for two balls to be installed. In other embodiments, the space may be other numbers.

[0074] The elastic member 362 is fixedly mounted within the transport track 31 and is located on the side of the movable member 361 facing away from the connecting section 314. The ends of the elastic member 362 are fixedly connected to the transport track 31 and the movable member 361, respectively. The elastic member 362 forces the movable member 361 to slide toward the connecting section 314 to its limit position and maintain it there. In this embodiment, the elastic member 362 is preferably a compression spring.

[0075] The end of the movable member 361 that is adjacent to the connecting section 314 has an abutment surface 363. When the movable member 361 slides to its limit position toward the connecting section 314, the two balls adjacent to the movable member 361 abut against the abutment surface 363. In this embodiment, the abutment surface 363 is preferably an inclined surface, but in other embodiments, a curved surface or the like may also be used.

[0076] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The end of the pushing member 33 away from the first driving member 32 has a matching groove 331 that is adapted to the outer side of the semi-finished bearing. After the pushing member 33 moves toward the transport track 31, the outer part of the semi-finished bearing located below the sensing member 7 will be stuck in the matching groove 331, so that the semi-finished bearing and the pushing member 33 remain in a fixed relative position during the process of the pushing member 33 pushing the semi-finished bearing to move.

[0077] The pusher 33 further has spacers on either side of the mating groove 331. Each spacer has a push rod 333 at one end near the transport track 31. The push rod 333 extends outward in the direction of movement of the pusher 33, away from the driver 32. As the pusher 33 pushes the semi-finished bearing into the transport groove 311, the push rod 333 on the spacer near the loading track 22 separates the semi-finished bearing below the sensor 7 from the adjacent semi-finished bearing, reducing the probability of the pusher 33 pushing two semi-finished bearings simultaneously.

[0078] The transport track 31 is provided with a through-hole 317 for the push rod 333 to pass through. The through-hole 317 is located at the end of the transport track 31 near the driver 32. The two ends of the through-hole 317 are connected to one end of the connecting section 314 and the outside world. When the push member 33 moves to its extreme position toward the transport track 31, the end of the push rod 333 passes through the through-hole 317 and enters the connecting section 314. During this movement, the push rod 333 can push several balls along the movable channel 313. At this time, the space occupied by the push rod 333 in the connecting section 314 is just enough to accommodate several balls. In this embodiment, the push rod 333 preferably occupies just enough space in the connecting section 314 to accommodate two balls.

[0079] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In the process of pushing the semi-finished bearing toward the transport track 31, when the semi-finished bearing matched with the matching groove 331 enters the transport groove 311 and abuts against the two balls on both sides, the two push rods 333 on the pushing member 33 also pass through the corresponding through-holes 317 and enter the connecting section 314 to abut against the two balls respectively. At this time, the pushing member 33 simultaneously pushes the semi-finished bearing and several balls to move, so that the other semi-finished bearings in the transport groove 311 move along the transport direction by a distance equal to the sum of the diameters of the two balls; the pushing member 33 pushes several As the balls move, they exert pressure on the abutment surface 363 against the movable member 361, causing the movable member 361 to slide and retract away from the connecting section 314, overcoming the force of the elastic member 362. This allows the balls to move within the circulation section 315, and a ball located within the circulation section 315 abuts against the push rod 333. As the semi-finished bearings move within the transport trough 311, each semi-finished bearing simultaneously abuts against four balls. These four balls center the semi-finished bearing within the transport trough 311 and create equal spacing between adjacent semi-finished bearings. When the semi-finished bearings pass through the cleaning mechanism 4 and the air-drying mechanism 5, they can reduce blind spots in the cleaning process caused by factors such as the semi-finished bearings' different positions within the transport trough 311 and the abutment between adjacent semi-finished bearings. Furthermore, cleaning fluid can enter the movable channel 313 through the connecting section 314, providing lubrication for the movement of the balls. In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the semi-finished bearings is preferably smaller than the sum of the diameters of the two balls.

[0080] After the pushing member 33 pushes the semi-finished bearing to move, the pushing member 33 moves to the extreme position in the direction away from the transport track 31. When the push rod 333 moves out of the connecting section 314, the movable member 361 slides to the extreme position in the direction close to the connecting section 314 under the action of the elastic member 362, and at the same time drives several balls to move to fill the space left after the push rod 333 withdraws. At this time, the movable member 361 restores the effect of limiting the displacement of several balls in the movable channel 313.

[0081] The implementation principle of a bearing cleaning machine in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0082] In the process of driving the pushing member 33 to move, the driving member 32 not only pushes the semi-finished bearing into the transport trough 311, but also pushes a number of balls to move synchronously along the movable channel 313; the number of balls and the number of semi-finished bearings are kept against each other, so that the semi-finished bearings are kept in a central position in the transport trough 311 for transportation, and the adjacent semi-finished bearings are kept at equal distances, thereby reducing the cleaning dead angle of the semi-finished bearings in the transport trough 311 and improving the cleaning effect of the bearing cleaning machine on the semi-finished bearings.

[0083] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
