Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and in particular to a cable cleaning device with surface degreasing function. Background Technology

[0002] During use, cables can become contaminated with dust, oil, and other dirt, which can affect their conductivity and lifespan. Therefore, regular cleaning is necessary.

[0003] In existing technologies, cable cleaning is usually done manually or mechanically through physical wiping. The disadvantages of this method are that oil stains have strong adhesion, requiring pressure or friction, which can easily damage the cable surface and affect its normal use. Furthermore, physical cleaning components typically lack self-cleaning capabilities, requiring cleaning after a period of use. Therefore, efficient oil removal cannot be achieved when cleaning large quantities of cables. Using cleaning agents requires liquids, but cables cannot be soaked in the cleaning solution for extended periods and need to be dried promptly to avoid damaging the cable insulation. After cleaning, rewinding the cables is also necessary, which is cumbersome. Based on these reasons, this invention designs a cable cleaning device with surface oil removal functionality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that cables are difficult to clean, easily damage their surface and affect normal use in the prior art, and to propose a cable cleaning device with surface degreasing function.

[0005] A cable cleaning device with surface degreasing function includes a base, a first support, a second support, and a cleaning cylinder. The cleaning cylinder is configured as a truncated cone structure and is divided into a fixed cylinder and a connecting cylinder along the horizontal plane of the central axis. A locking mechanism is provided between the fixed cylinder and the connecting cylinder. Two receiving holes are opened on both sides of the bottom wall of the fixed cylinder and the connecting cylinder, and a cable passes through the receiving holes. The cable is connected to a winding wheel through the cleaning cylinder. The winding wheel is connected to the second support through a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is connected to a rotating mechanism for rotating the winding wheel. The cleaning cylinder is provided with a degreasing component including multiple ultrasonic sources. The multiple ultrasonic sources are arranged in a ring array on the inner bottom wall of the cleaning cylinder near the winding wheel.

[0006] In the above-mentioned cable cleaning device with surface degreasing function, the degreasing component further includes a swinging component and a cable pulling component, which are used to swing and clean the cable located in the cleaning cylinder and then store it in the winding wheel. The swinging component includes two positioning blocks that cover each other. Each positioning block is rotatably connected to a half gear, and the two half gears are combined to form a complete gear. Each half gear has a sliding groove on its inner sidewall, and a pressure block is slidably connected in each sliding groove.

[0007] In the aforementioned cable cleaning device with surface degreasing function, two positioning blocks are disposed at the bottom of the cleaning cylinder near the side with the smaller diameter and are fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder by a telescopic sleeve. The telescopic sleeve located on the fixed cylinder is connected to an oil inlet pipe, and an oil storage tank is connected to the other side of the oil inlet pipe. The oil storage tank is fixed on the base. The complete gear meshes with a connecting gear. The connecting gear and the complete gear are respectively fixedly connected to two limiting strips. Both limiting strips are rotatably connected to the positioning blocks. The connecting gear is threadedly connected to a threaded rod, which is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder. The two positioning blocks share a common rotating hole, the diameter of which is larger than that of the receiving hole.

[0008] In the aforementioned cable cleaning device with surface degreasing function, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor and two synchronous pulleys. The fixed end of the rotating motor is mounted on the base, and the two synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt. One synchronous pulley is connected to the output end of the rotating motor via a clutch, and the other synchronous pulley is connected to a rotating shaft. The cable pulling component includes a transmission gear connected to the output end of the rotating motor. The transmission gear is connected to the rotating motor via a clutch and meshes with a rack on its lower side. A push rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the rack. The push rod seals through the side wall of the oil tank and has a push plate fixedly connected to one end inside the oil tank. The push plate is slidably connected in the oil tank.

[0009] In the above-mentioned cable cleaning device with surface degreasing function, the side of the telescopic sleeve away from the cleaning cylinder is connected to an annular groove formed by the two half gears, and both of the sliding grooves are connected to the annular groove.

[0010] In the above-mentioned cable cleaning device with surface degreasing function, the rotating shaft, the winding wheel, and the second bracket are all configured as detachable structures for removing the winding wheel from the second bracket, and the cross-section of the limiting strip is configured as a T-shaped structure.

[0011] In the above-mentioned cable cleaning device with surface degreasing function, a cleaning layer is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder, and a drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the fixed cylinder.

[0012] In the aforementioned cable cleaning device with surface degreasing function, the locking mechanism consists of three sets of electromagnets, which are respectively mounted on the fixed cylinder, the half gear, and the positioning block.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are:

[0014] 1. This invention achieves the function of conveniently placing cables into the cleaning tube for cleaning by setting up a cleaning tube that can be assembled and disassembled through a locking mechanism. At the same time, it performs segmented cleaning, and after cleaning, the cables are promptly wound up, collected and stored to avoid secondary contamination after being exposed to the outside for a long time.

[0015] 2: The cleaning cylinder is equipped with cleaning fluid that does not exceed the height of the central axis and multiple ultrasonic emission sources. The advantage of this is that it can avoid directly immersing the cable in the cleaning fluid during cleaning, which would damage its insulation shell. Instead, the cleaning fluid is made into short-term contact with the cable by swinging, and the ultrasonic sound source quickly cuts and cleans the oil stains, thus improving the oil stain cleaning effect.

[0016] 3. The swishing component installed in the cleaning cylinder can swirl the cable with an amplitude that first increases and then decreases. The advantage of this is that when the amplitude increases, it improves the contact between the cable and the cleaning solution, achieving a rapid cleaning effect. When the amplitude decreases, it gradually removes the cable from contact with the cleaning solution and swirls it to dry. This ensures that the cable is quickly dried before being collected, improving the service life of the cable casing and ensuring the safe use of the cable. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 A cable cleaning device with surface degreasing function includes a base 1, a first bracket 2, a second bracket 3, and a cleaning cylinder 4. The cleaning cylinder 4 is configured as a frustum cone and is divided into a fixed cylinder 41 and a connecting cylinder 42 along the horizontal plane of the central axis. The fixed cylinder 41 is filled with cleaning fluid not exceeding the height of the central axis, so that the cable 6 will not come into contact with the cleaning fluid when it is in a horizontal state, but will come into contact with the cleaning fluid when the cable 6 swings with a large amplitude. A locking mechanism is provided between the fixed cylinder 41 and the connecting cylinder 42. Two receiving holes 5 are opened on both sides of the bottom wall of the fixed cylinder 41 and the connecting cylinder 42, and the cable 6 passes through the receiving holes 5. 6 is connected to a winding wheel 7 via a cleaning cylinder 4. The winding wheel is connected to a support 3 via a rotating shaft 8. The rotating shaft 8 is connected to a rotating mechanism 9 for rotating the winding wheel 7. The cleaning cylinder 4 is equipped with an oil removal component 10 including multiple ultrasonic sources 15. Multiple ultrasonic sources 15 are arranged in a ring array on the inner bottom wall of the cleaning cylinder 4 near the winding wheel 7. The ultrasonic waves generate bubbles through cavitation, and the shock waves emitted when the bubbles suddenly close generate thousands of atmospheres of pressure around them. This directly and repeatedly impacts the dirt layer on the surface of the cable 6, which on the one hand destroys the adsorption of dirt to the surface of the cable 6, and on the other hand causes the dirt layer to be destroyed and detached from the surface of the cable 6.

[0024] The degreasing assembly 10 also includes a swinging component 11 and a cable pulling component 12, used to swing and clean the cable 6 located in the cleaning cylinder 4 and then store it in the winding reel 7. The swinging component 11 includes two mutually overlapping positioning blocks 111, each positioning block 111 being rotatably connected to a half gear 112, and the two half gears 112 forming a complete gear when combined. The locking mechanism consists of three sets of electromagnets, which are respectively set on the fixed cylinder 41, the half gears 112, and the positioning blocks 111. That is, the three sets of electromagnets can make the two positioning blocks 111 and the two half gears 112 form a complete unit, thereby placing the cable 6 into the receiving hole 5 and the rotating hole 1. In section 112, after cleaning, the above structures can be separated by disconnecting the power, facilitating the disconnection of the cable 6 from the device and making the next cleaning operation easier. Each half-gear 112 has a groove 113 on its inner wall, and a pressure block 114 is slidably connected in each groove 113. The two pressure blocks 114 fix one end of the cable 6 by bringing them close together. Two positioning blocks 111 are located at the bottom of the cleaning cylinder 4 near the side with the smaller diameter and are fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 4 by a telescopic sleeve 115. The telescopic sleeve 115 on the fixed cylinder 41 is connected to an oil inlet pipe 116, and the other side of the oil inlet pipe 116 is connected to... An oil storage tank 117 is fixed on a base 1. A connecting gear 118 meshes with the complete gear. Two limiting strips 119 are fixedly connected to the connecting gear 118 and the complete gear, respectively. Both limiting strips 119 are rotatably connected to the positioning block 111. The limiting strips 119 are all designed with annular structure to ensure the rotational position of the connecting gear 118 and the complete gear. Both limiting strips 119 are rotatably connected to the positioning block 111, that is, the positioning block 111 has a limiting groove that mates with the limiting strips 119. The connecting gear 118 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 1110, wherein the connecting gear 118 and the threaded rod 1110 are connected by a helical drive, that is, when... When the connecting gear 18 slides along its axis, it will rotate, thereby driving the complete gear to rotate and causing the cable 6 to swing. During this process, the cable 6 moves closer to the winding wheel 7, which increases the amplitude of the swing. This is beneficial because it can better remove the attached oil stains. With the assistance of multiple ultrasonic sources 15, the oil stains are removed. Furthermore, the large swing amplitude avoids secondary pollution from the oil stains. The threaded rod 1110 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 4. The two positioning blocks 111 share a rotating hole 1112. The diameter of the rotating hole 1112 is larger than that of the receiving hole 5, so that the swing of the cable 6 satisfies the motion trajectory.

[0025] The rotating mechanism 9 includes a rotating motor 91 and two synchronous pulleys 92. The fixed end of the rotating motor 91 is mounted on the base 1. The two synchronous pulleys 92 are connected by a synchronous belt 93. One synchronous pulley 92 is connected to the output end of the rotating motor 91 via a clutch, meaning that the synchronous pulley 92 and the rotating motor 91 can disengage from the transmission relationship, thus enabling the operation of only driving the transmission gear 121 to rotate. The other synchronous pulley 92 is connected to the rotating shaft 8. The cable puller 12 includes a transmission gear 121 connected to the output end of the rotating motor 91. The transmission gear 121 is connected to the rotating motor 91 via a clutch, and a rack 122 meshes with the lower part of the gear 121. This allows the transmission gear 121 to disengage from the rotational output relationship of the rotating motor 91 via the clutch. The rack 122... The other end is fixedly connected to a push rod 123. The push rod 123 is sealed through the side wall of the oil reservoir 117 and a push plate 124 is fixedly connected to one end inside the oil reservoir 117. The push plate 124 is sealed and slidably connected in the oil reservoir 117. When the push plate 124 slides in the oil reservoir 117, the hydraulic oil will enter the telescopic sleeve 115 through the oil inlet pipe 116, realizing the automatic extension of the telescopic sleeve 115. The side of the telescopic sleeve 115 away from the cleaning cylinder 4 is connected to an annular groove 1111 formed by the two half gears 112. The two sliding grooves 113 are connected to the annular groove 1111. The hydraulic oil will enter the sliding groove 113 through the annular groove 1111, thereby pushing the two pressure blocks 114 closer to each other, thereby fixing the cable.

[0026] The rotating shaft 8, the winding wheel 7, and the bracket 2 3 are all designed to be detachable, allowing the winding wheel 7 to be removed from the bracket 2 3. This facilitates the organization and centralized collection of the cable 6. The limiting strip 119 has a T-shaped cross-section, which not only limits the rotational position of the complete gear and the connecting gear 118, but also prevents axial sliding between them, making the rotation more stable. The connecting gear 118 will not disengage from the complete gear. A cleaning layer 13 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 4. The cleaning layer 13 is connected to the bottom of the fixed cylinder 41 by a drain pipe 14, which is used to discharge the cleaned oil.

[0027] In use, this invention first disengages the synchronous pulley 92 from the drive of the rotary motor 91 via a clutch. At this point, the rotary motor 91 will only drive the transmission gear 121 to operate. Figure 2For example, the clockwise rotation of the rotating motor 91 will push the rack 122, push rod 123 and push plate 124 to push the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 117 into the telescopic sleeve 115 and slide groove 113, so that the two pressure blocks 114 move closer to each other and the positioning block 111 slides axially. During this process, the two pressure blocks 114 fix the cable 6. When the positioning block 111 slides, the connecting gear 118 meshes with the complete gear composed of two half gears 112 through the helical transmission, so that the complete gear rotates. The complete gear will drive the cable 6 to rotate. At this time, due to the movement of the positioning block 111, the two fixed ends of the cable 6 move closer to each other. Therefore, the rotation of the cable 6 will form a swinging motion, and the distance moved by the positioning block 11 gradually increases.

[0028] When the connecting gear 118 in the positioning block 111 disengages from the threaded rod 1110, the rotational speed of the connecting gear 118 will first increase and then decrease. When the cable 6 swings to the lower position, it will come into contact with the cleaning fluid. Under the action of the ultrasonic source 15, the oil stains will be cleaned. When it swings to the upper position, it will come into contact with the cleaning layer 13. The cleaning layer 13 is absorbent and can absorb some of the cleaning fluid. Then, the motor 91 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the positioning block 111 to move in the opposite direction. This will cause the cable 6 to swing in the opposite direction with a smaller and smaller amplitude. In this way, the cable 6 will gradually detach from the contact with the cleaning fluid, shake off the liquid on its surface, and achieve a drying effect. Then, the clutch drives the synchronous pulley 92 to rotate, so that the part of the cable 6 that has been cleaned is wound onto the winding wheel 7. Then, the cleaning work of the next part of the cable 6 continues until all the cables 6 are cleaned. The oil stains and cleaning fluid are discharged through the drain pipe 14.
