Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bearing outer ring cleaning technology, and in particular to a bearing outer ring cleaning and drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Bearings are commonly used intermediate connecting components in mechanical transmission structures to reduce the coefficient of friction during shaft rotation. During bearing component manufacturing, to achieve optimal performance, the connecting surfaces of all parts on the bearing outer ring must be smooth and free of defects. However, during component production, impurities such as iron filings and grease often remain on the surface of the components. Direct assembly and use of these impurities reduces smoothness and can easily damage the surfaces of internal parts, leading to component failure. When cleaning bearing outer rings with cavities that are open at one end and closed at the other, the open end of the bearing outer ring faces upwards when it is output from the cleaning machine, and water may accumulate inside the cavity. If this water is directly transferred to a spin dryer, a large amount of water will accumulate inside, resulting in high humidity. Moisture residue on the surface of the bearing outer ring can easily lead to corrosion. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: in order to overcome the problem that when the outer ring of the bearing is output from the cleaning machine, the open end of the outer ring of the bearing faces upward, and water will accumulate inside its cavity. If it is directly transferred to the spin dryer, a large amount of water will accumulate inside the spin dryer, resulting in high humidity inside the spin dryer. The surface of the outer ring of the bearing is prone to water vapor residue, which can easily lead to corrosion of the outer ring of the bearing. The present invention provides a bearing outer ring cleaning and spin drying device.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a bearing outer ring cleaning and drying device, wherein the bearing outer ring has a cavity with an open top, the cleaning and drying device includes a cleaning machine, a transmission mechanism, a turning mechanism and a spin dryer, the transmission mechanism is used to transfer the bearing outer ring cleaned in the cleaning machine to the spin dryer, the input end of the transmission mechanism is connected to the output end of the cleaning machine, the output end of the transmission mechanism is connected to the input end of the spin dryer, the turning mechanism is arranged on the transmission mechanism, and the turning mechanism is used to clamp the bearing outer ring and turn it over;

[0005] The flipping mechanism includes a clamping drive, a rotating drive, and two clamping plates. The rotating ends of the clamping drive and the rotating drive are connected. The clamping plates are mounted on the output end of the clamping drive. The clamping drive provides power for the two clamping plates to move closer or further apart. The rotating drive provides power for flipping the outer ring of the bearing. The clamping plates are provided with through holes.

[0006] A first pusher is installed on the transmission mechanism, and a wiping component is installed on the extended end of the first pusher. The first pusher provides power for the wiping component to enter the cavity of the bearing outer ring through a through hole in one of the clamps. By opening a through hole in the clamp of the turning mechanism, the wiping component is allowed to enter the cavity of the bearing outer ring to wipe the bearing outer ring. This achieves pretreatment of water stains on the bearing outer ring before it enters the spin dryer, reduces the residual moisture in the spin dryer, and thus improves the spin drying efficiency and degree of spin drying of the bearing outer ring.

[0007] To address the issue of the arrangement of the transmission mechanism, the system further includes a first transmission belt, a transfer frame, and a second transmission belt. The input end of the first transmission belt is connected to the output end of the washing machine, the output end of the first transmission belt is connected to the clamping end of the turning mechanism, the clamping end of the turning mechanism is connected to the input end of the transfer frame, the output end of the transfer frame is connected to the input end of the second transmission belt, and the output end of the second transmission belt is connected to the input end of the spin dryer. The clamping end of the lower clamping plate is higher than the top surface of the transfer frame.

[0008] To address the issue of bearing outer ring transfer, the first pusher component is further capable of pushing the bearing outer ring on the flipping mechanism onto the transfer frame.

[0009] The first conveyor belt is equipped with a second pusher and a third pusher. The second pusher can provide power to push the outer ring of the bearing on the first conveyor belt onto the turning mechanism. The transfer frame is arranged adjacent to the first conveyor belt. The third pusher can provide power to push the outer ring of the bearing on the turning mechanism onto the transfer frame.

[0010] A fourth pusher is installed on the second conveyor belt, which provides power to push the outer ring of the bearing on the second conveyor belt into the spin dryer.

[0011] To address the issue of excessive movement of the bearing outer ring on the first transmission belt, leading to positional misalignment, a further step is to install a limiting seat on the first transmission belt.

[0012] To address the issue of residual water stains inside the bearing outer ring, a further method is included: connecting the clamping drive and the rotating drive via a shaking mechanism. The shaking mechanism includes a first connecting seat and a second connecting seat. The first connecting seat is mounted on the clamping drive, and the second connecting seat is mounted on the rotating end of the rotating drive. The second connecting seat has a movable groove, and the first connecting seat is slidably arranged within the movable groove. The first connecting seat is elastically connected to the end of the movable groove via an elastic element.

[0013] To address the issue of the wiping component being difficult to insert into the bearing outer ring cavity, the wiping component is further designed as a sponge, with an inlet surface at the corner of the wiping component near the turning mechanism and a limiting groove at the center of the wiping component near the turning mechanism.

[0014] It further includes installing a limit block on the clamping side of the clamping plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The bearing outer ring cleaning and drying device provided by the present invention, by opening through holes in the clamping plate of the turning mechanism, allows the wiping component to enter the cavity of the bearing outer ring and wipe the bearing outer ring, thereby achieving pretreatment of water stains on the bearing outer ring before entering the spin dryer, reducing the residual water vapor in the spin dryer, and thus improving the spin drying efficiency and degree of the bearing outer ring.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention, a bearing outer ring cleaning and drying device, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the bearing outer ring 1 has a cavity 12 with an open top. The cleaning and drying device includes a cleaning machine 2, a transfer mechanism 3, a turning mechanism 4, and a spin dryer 5. The transfer mechanism 3 is used to transfer the bearing outer ring 1 cleaned in the cleaning machine 2 to the spin dryer 5. The input end of the transfer mechanism 3 is connected to the output end of the cleaning machine 2, and the output end of the transfer mechanism 3 is connected to the input end of the spin dryer 5. The turning mechanism 4 is arranged on the transfer mechanism 3 and uses the turning mechanism 4 to clamp the bearing outer ring 1 and turn it over.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the flipping mechanism 4 includes a clamping drive 41, a rotating drive 42, and two clamping plates 43. The clamping drive 41 can be a cylinder or a pneumatic gripper, and the rotating drive 42 can be a rotary table. The rotating ends of the clamping drive 41 and the rotating drive 42 are connected. The clamping plates 43 are mounted on the output end of the clamping drive 41. The clamping drive 41 is used to provide power for the two clamping plates 43 to move closer or further apart. The rotating drive 42 is used to provide power for the flipping of the outer ring 1 of the bearing. The clamping plates 43 are provided with through holes 431 for the wiping component 32 to pass through. The through holes 431 and the cavity 12 of the outer ring 1 of the bearing are matched.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping drive 41 and the rotating drive 42 are connected by a shaking mechanism 44. The shaking mechanism 44 includes a first connecting seat 441 and a second connecting seat 442. The first connecting seat 441 is mounted on the clamping drive 41, and the second connecting seat 442 is mounted on the rotating end of the rotating drive 42. The second connecting seat 442 has a movable groove 4421. The first connecting seat 441 is slidably arranged in the movable groove 4421. The first connecting seat 441 is elastically connected to the end of the movable groove 4421 through an elastic element 443. The elastic element 443 can be arranged on one side of the first connecting seat 441 or on both sides. The elastic element 443 is a spring.

[0029] like Figure 6 As shown, the wiping component 32 is a sponge. The corner of the wiping component 32 near the flipping mechanism 4 has an inlet surface 321, and the middle part of the wiping component 32 near the flipping mechanism 4 has a limiting groove 322. By opening a through hole 431 on the clamping plate 43 of the flipping mechanism 4, the wiping component 32 is allowed to enter the cavity 12 of the bearing outer ring 1 to wipe the bearing outer ring 1. This achieves pretreatment of water stains on the bearing outer ring before entering the spin dryer 5, reducing the residual water vapor in the spin dryer 5, thereby improving the spin drying efficiency and degree of spin drying of the bearing outer ring.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, a limiting block 432 is installed on the clamping side of the clamping plate 43. The limiting block 432 restricts the position of the outer ring 1 of the bearing, so that the cavity 12 and the through hole 431 correspond to each other, making it easier for the wiping component 32 to enter.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, a first pusher 31 is installed on the transmission mechanism 3. The first pusher 31 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. A wiping member 32 is installed on the extended end of the first pusher 31. The first pusher 31 is used to provide power for the wiping member 32 to enter the cavity 12 of the outer ring 1 of the bearing through the through hole 431 on one of the clamps 43.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the transmission mechanism 3 includes a first transmission belt 33, a transfer frame 34, and a second transmission belt 35. The input end of the first transmission belt 33 is connected to the output end of the washing machine 2, the output end of the first transmission belt 33 is connected to the clamping end of the turning mechanism 4, the clamping end of the turning mechanism 4 is connected to the input end of the transfer frame 34, the output end of the transfer frame 34 is connected to the input end of the second transmission belt 35, and the output end of the second transmission belt 35 is connected to the input end of the spin dryer 5.

[0033] The first pusher 31 can also push the outer ring 1 of the bearing on the turning mechanism 4 onto the transfer frame 34;

[0034] The first conveyor belt 33 is equipped with a second pusher 36 and a third pusher 37. The second pusher 36 can provide power to push the outer ring 1 of the bearing on the first conveyor belt 33 onto the turning mechanism 4. The transfer frame 34 is arranged adjacent to the first conveyor belt 33. The third pusher 37 can provide power to push the outer ring 1 of the bearing on the turning mechanism 4 onto the transfer frame 34. The second pusher 36 and the third pusher 37 can be cylinders, hydraulic cylinders or electric push rods.

[0035] A fourth pusher 38 is installed on the second conveyor belt 35. The fourth pusher 38 can provide power to push the outer ring 1 of the bearing on the second conveyor belt 35 into the spin dryer 5. The fourth pusher 38 can be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. A second limit seat is installed on the second conveyor belt 35.

[0036] The clamping end of the lower clamping plate 43 is higher than the top surface of the transfer frame 34, ensuring that the movement of the outer ring 1 of the bearing is not obstructed.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, a limiting seat 331 is installed on the first conveyor belt 33. The limiting seat 331 prevents the outer ring 1 of the bearing from moving excessively. The limiting seat 331 has a limiting groove.

[0038] In use, the cleaning machine 2 cleans the outer ring 1 of the bearing and conveys it to the first conveyor belt 33. Since the cavity 12 of the outer ring 1 faces upward and has water inside, when the outer ring 1 moves on the first conveyor belt 33 to its limiting seat 331, the second pusher 36 is activated to push the outer ring 1 onto the clamping plate 43. The outer ring 1 and the inner block 432 of the bearing come into contact. At this time, the cavity 12 and the through hole 431 of the outer ring 1 are coaxial. The clamping drive 41 is activated, causing the clamping plates 43 to move closer together to clamp the outer ring 1. When the rotating drive component 42 is activated, the outer ring 1 of the bearing rotates one or more times and then rotates 90°, making the through hole 431 and the first pusher component 31 coaxial. During the rotation, the water accumulated in the cavity 12 of the outer ring 1 of the bearing is poured out under the action of gravity. During the rotation, because the first connecting seat 441 is slidably arranged in the movable groove 4421, and the first connecting seat 441 is elastically connected to the end of the movable groove 4421 through the elastic element 443, the outer ring 1 of the bearing will elastically vibrate, reducing water droplets adhering to the wall. The first pusher 31 is activated, causing the wiping member 32 to enter the cavity 12 of the bearing outer ring 1 and wipe it. After wiping, the wiping member 32 retracts, and the rotation drive 42 drives the bearing outer ring 1 to rotate 90° again. Due to the restriction of the movable groove 4421, the movement direction of the bearing outer ring 1 is mainly concentrated in the axial movement direction of the first pusher 37, which does not affect the entry of the wiping member 32. The clamping drive 41 is activated, causing the clamping plates 43 to move away from each other and release the bearing outer ring 1. When component 31 is activated, the wiping component 32 contacts the outer wall of the bearing outer ring 1 and pushes it onto the transfer frame 34. During the pushing process, the outer ring of the bearing and the extension rod of the first pusher 31 clamp the wiping component 32 and squeeze it to remove moisture. Since the clamping end of the lower clamping plate 43 is higher than the top surface of the transfer frame 34, even if the clamping plate 43 vibrates slightly, it ensures that the movement of the bearing outer ring 1 will not be hindered. This device is mainly used to wipe and remove moisture from the cavity 12 of the bearing outer ring 1.

[0039] When the outer ring 1 of the bearing is transferred to the transfer frame 34, the third pusher 37 is activated to push the outer ring 1 of the bearing onto the second conveyor belt 35. When the outer ring 1 of the bearing moves to the second limit seat under the drive of the conveyor belt of the second conveyor belt 35, the fourth pusher 38 is activated to push the outer ring 1 of the bearing into the spin dryer 5.

The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
