[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0030] This invention discloses a workpiece cleaning production line assembly.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 A workpiece cleaning production line assembly includes a conveyor 25, a frame 1, a lifting device, a clamping and rotating device, and a cleaning device 6. The conveyor 25 has a conveyor belt with support members for supporting workpieces. The conveyor belt is used to move the corresponding support members to the cleaning station. The frame 1 is located at the cleaning station of the conveyor 25. The lifting device includes a lifting mechanism 3 and a support part 4. The lifting mechanism 3 is located at the cleaning station and below the conveyor belt. The lifting mechanism 3 is used to lift the workpiece on the support member that has been moved to the cleaning station to the clamping height. The clamping and rotating device includes a clamping mechanism and a rotating mechanism 7. The clamping mechanism is used to clamp the lifted workpiece, and the rotating mechanism 7 is used to drive the clamped workpiece to rotate around its axis. The cleaning device 6 includes a cleaning head 15 with a drivable cleaning part 16. The rotating mechanism 7 drives the workpiece to rotate, and the drivable movement of the cleaning head 15 causes the cleaning part 16 to clean the outer surface of the workpiece.

[0032] Workpiece 2 is placed on a support on a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt moves the corresponding support to the cleaning station. When it reaches the cleaning station, the lifting mechanism 3 lifts workpiece 2 to the clamping height. After cleaning, the lifting mechanism 3 supports the cleaned workpiece 2, and the clamping mechanism separates the workpiece 2 supported by the lifting mechanism 3. The lifting mechanism 3 moves workpiece 2 onto the support. Then, the control system controls the clamping mechanism to clamp workpiece 2. After clamping, the cleaning head 15 is driven to move to the outer surface of workpiece 2, and the cleaning part 16 rotates. Then, the control system controls the rotation mechanism 7 to start and drive workpiece 2 to rotate a certain angle. When the rotation mechanism 7 rotates 360 degrees, it indicates that the outer surface of workpiece 2 in contact with the cleaning part 16 has been cleaned. The lifting mechanism 3 then contacts workpiece 2, the clamping mechanism separates from workpiece 2, and the lifting mechanism 3 lowers workpiece 2 to the support. After receiving the signal that the lifting mechanism 3 has retracted, the control system controls the conveyor belt to move and transfer the cleaned workpiece 2 to the next process.

[0033] For shell-shaped workpieces that require 360° cleaning of their outer surface, the system utilizes a transmission device 25, a lifting device, a clamping and rotating device, and a cleaning device 6 to achieve automatic cleaning of the workpiece's outer surface. This facilitates closed-loop production on the production line, reduces human intervention, and improves product yield.

[0034] The conveying device 25 adopts a roller conveyor belt. Multiple support members are spaced apart along the moving direction of the conveyor belt. The support members are detachably installed on the conveyor belt. Multiple sets of support members are spaced apart along the moving direction of the conveyor belt. Each set of support members has two support members spaced apart along the transverse direction of the conveyor belt. The interval between the two support members is adjustable. The support members can be detached or a transverse telescopic structure can be installed on the support members to make the interval between the two support members adjustable. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] In this embodiment, in order to improve the accuracy of cleaning, a detection sensor is installed on the frame 1. In this embodiment, a laser rangefinder is used. The laser rangefinder is connected to the control system. The control system has a preset distance value range. When the laser rangefinder detects that the distance value is within the range, it means that the support on which the workpiece is placed has moved directly above the lifting device. At this time, the cleaning step is performed.

[0036] In this embodiment, the support part 4 includes a support plate 24 and a support base. The support plate 24 is used to support the bottom of the workpiece. Two support plates 24 are provided, and they are spaced apart on the support base along the axial direction of the workpiece. The lifting mechanism 3 is used to drive the support plates 24 to lift the workpiece to a specified height in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 is a cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the support base. The control system controls the start, stop, and travel of the lifting mechanism 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, the clamping and rotating device includes a main clamping mechanism 8, a secondary clamping mechanism 9, a sliding seat 13, and a first driving mechanism. The first driving mechanism is used to adjust the distance between the main clamping mechanism 8 and the secondary clamping mechanism 9. In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism is a cylinder. The first driving mechanism is respectively provided on the main clamping mechanism 8 and the secondary clamping mechanism 9. In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism includes a first driving member 10, a second driving member 11, and a third driving member 12. The first driving member 10 is used to drive the main clamping mechanism 8 to move, the second driving member 11 is used to drive the secondary clamping mechanism 9 to move, the first driving member 10 and the second driving member 11 are provided on the sliding seat 13, and the third driving member 12 is used to drive the sliding seat 13 to slide along the axial direction of the workpiece. The control system controls the start, stop, and stroke of the conveyor belt, the first driving member 10, the second driving member 11, and the third driving member 12.

[0038] The control system controls the start, stop, and corresponding travel of the drive components 10 and 11 on the main clamping mechanism 8 and the auxiliary clamping mechanism 9. Drive components 10 and 11 are used to move the corresponding clamping mechanisms, adjusting not only the distance between the main clamping mechanism 8 and the auxiliary clamping mechanism 9, but also, when the distance between the main clamping mechanism 8 and the auxiliary clamping mechanism 9 is fixed, simultaneously controlling the travel of drive component 12 to drive the workpiece to move along its own axial position.

[0039] In this embodiment, the secondary clamping mechanism 9 is located at the end of the workpiece axially close to the frame 1, and the primary clamping mechanism 8 is located at the end of the workpiece axially away from the frame 1. The extendable stroke of the driving member 12 is greater than the axial length of the workpiece. Under the drive of the driving member 12, the primary clamping mechanism 8 and the secondary clamping mechanism 9 can move the workpiece axially so that the outer surface of the workpiece is in contact with the cleaning head 15.

[0040] In this embodiment, the main clamping mechanism 8 is rotatably fitted with an active rotating part, which can be driven to rotate around its own axis. The rotating mechanism 7 is used to drive the active rotating part to rotate. In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 7 is a servo motor, which is connected to the active rotating part. The active rotating part can be driven by the servo motor to drive the workpiece to rotate. The secondary clamping mechanism 9 is provided with a driven rotating part. The speed, rotation angle, and number of rotations of the servo motor are transmitted to the control system.

[0041] Since the distance between drive component 10 and drive component 2 is fixed, the axial length of the workpiece can be determined by subtracting the initial extension stroke of drive component 10 and drive component 2 from the fixed distance between drive component 10 and drive component 2. Since the horizontal displacement between the cleaning part 16 and the fixed end of drive component 10 is fixed, the difference between the extension distance of drive component 10 and the fixed horizontal displacement is compensated by drive component 3 12, or by the extension and retraction of drive component 10 and drive component 2 11. This allows the workpiece to be cleaned from the end closest to the frame 1 to the end furthest from the frame 1, ensuring the cleaning effect of the workpiece. It is suitable for workpieces of any length and has low requirements for the accuracy of the workpiece placement on the support block, making cleaning convenient.

[0042] The worker places the workpiece on the support, and the conveyor belt moves the workpiece to directly above the lifting mechanism 3. After being detected by the object detection sensor, the control system controls the lifting mechanism 3 to lift the workpiece to the designated position so that it can be clamped by the clamping mechanism. Then, the control system controls the main clamping mechanism 8 and the auxiliary clamping mechanism 9 to clamp the workpiece on both sides laterally. After clamping, the cleaning head 15 is driven to move to the outer surface of the workpiece. Then, the control system controls the rotation mechanism 7 to start and drive the workpiece to rotate a certain angle. When the rotation mechanism 7 rotates 360 degrees, it indicates that the workpiece is in contact with the cleaning head 15. After the outer surface of the contact point 6 is cleaned, the control system controls the drive unit 3 to move along the axial direction of the workpiece, so that the workpiece moves along its own axial direction. The cleaning part 16 cleans the remaining uncleaned parts of the workpiece. This work step is repeated until the outer surface of the workpiece is cleaned. At this time, the control system controls the lifting mechanism 3 to lift and contact the workpiece. Then, the control system controls the clamping mechanism to separate from the workpiece. Then, the lifting mechanism 3 drives the workpiece to descend to the support, completing the workpiece cleaning process. At this time, the control system controls the conveyor belt to continue moving and starts cleaning the next workpiece.

[0043] In this embodiment, after the difference compensation is completed, the point is recorded as the starting point (zero point). The extension stroke of the first drive component 10 and the second drive component 11 is transmitted to the control system. The control system calculates the axial length of the workpiece, uses the starting point as the zero point, and establishes the XYZ axis. The axial width of the workpiece is the positive length in the X direction, the Y direction is the outer surface radius of the workpiece, and the Z direction is the rotation angle of the rotating mechanism 7. Thus, a three-dimensional image of the workpiece of this model is established and transmitted to the control system for storage. When the workpiece of this model is cleaned again later, the cleaning device 6 directly cleans the workpiece according to the established three-dimensional image, thereby improving the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cleaning head 15 includes a cleaning body and a cleaning part 16. The cleaning part 16 is rotatably mounted on the cleaning body. The cleaning body has a built-in motor that drives the cleaning part 16 to rotate. The cleaning part 16 is detachably mounted on the cleaning body for easy replacement. In this embodiment, one cleaning head 15 is arranged in the front and back of the frame 1 along the radial direction of the workpiece. The two cleaning heads 15 are inclined and can contact the tangential surface of the outer surface of the workpiece to complete the cleaning of the outer surface of the workpiece.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cleaning device 6 further includes a connecting arm 17, which includes a fixed arm 18, a sliding arm 19, and a third drive mechanism. The sliding arm 19 is slidably fitted within the fixed arm 18, and the cleaning head 15 is disposed on the sliding arm 19. The third drive mechanism is used to drive the sliding arm 19 to move and adjust the overall length of the connecting arm 17. The frame 1 is provided with a track along the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the cleaning device 6 includes a second drive mechanism 14. In this embodiment, the second drive mechanism 14 is a cylinder, and the control system controls the start, stop, and extension / retraction stroke of the second drive mechanism 14. The second drive mechanism 14 is used to drive the cleaning head 15 to move vertically, causing the cleaning head 15 to contact or separate from the outer surface of the workpiece. A sliding block is provided inside the track. The sliding block is slidably fitted inside the track in the vertical direction. The second drive mechanism 14 is located on the top of the frame 1 and is used to drive the sliding block to slide in the vertical direction. The fixed arm 18 is fixedly installed on the sliding block. A sliding groove is opened at the end of the sliding arm 19 away from the sliding block. The sliding arm 19 is slidably fitted inside the sliding groove.

[0046] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism three includes an elastic element 20 and an electric cylinder 21. A length detection sensor 22 is fixedly installed in the sliding groove. The length detection sensor 22 is used to detect the sliding distance of the sliding arm 19. The length detection sensor 22 can be a laser rangefinder or a pull rope length sensor. In this embodiment, a pull rope length sensor is used. The elastic element 20 applies an outward preload to the sliding arm 19 to drive the sliding arm 19 to move away from the fixed arm 18. In this embodiment, the elastic element 20 is a spring, and multiple springs are arranged at circumferential intervals along the movable end of the electric cylinder 21 to make the movement of the sliding arm 19 more stable. The electric cylinder 21 is used to drive the sliding arm 19 to slide back and forth. The fixed end of the electric cylinder 21 is fixedly installed in the sliding groove, and the movable end of the electric cylinder 21 is connected to the sliding arm 19. The control system receives and stores the detection distance value of the length detection sensor 22.

[0047] In this embodiment, an electromagnet 23 is provided at the movable end of the electric cylinder 21. When the electromagnet 23 is energized, it is attracted to the sliding arm 19. At this time, the extension and retraction of the electric cylinder 21 can drive the sliding arm 19 to extend and retract.

[0048] When cleaning this type of workpiece for the first time, the rotation angle and number of rotations of the servo motor are reset, as are drive mechanisms one, two (14), and three. Drive components one (10) and two (11) drive the main clamping mechanism 8 and the auxiliary clamping mechanism 9 to move and clamp the workpiece. The control system establishes the X-axis length, drive mechanism two (14) is activated, driving the cleaning head 15 to move downwards. After moving to the designated position (at this time, the cleaning part 16 is not in contact with the workpiece), the electromagnet 23 is de-energized, and the elastic element 20 drives the sliding arm 19 to move outwards, so that the cleaning head 15 presses against the outer surface of the workpiece, driving the rotation mechanism 7 to rotate. The length detection sensor 22 transmits the sliding distance of the sliding arm 19 to the control system. After the mechanism 7 rotates one revolution, the cleaning device 6 resets. At this time, the control system establishes the corresponding Y and Z axes based on the length value detected by the length detection sensor 22 and the rotation angle. Then, the drive component 3 12 drives the workpiece to move along the axial direction, so that the uncleaned part 16 of the workpiece moves to below the cleaning head 15. The cleaning steps are repeated until the cleaning in the X-axis direction is completed. When cleaning the same type of workpiece, the control system drives the extension and retraction strokes of the drive component 1 10, drive component 2 11, and drive component 3 12, the rotation speed of the rotating mechanism 7, and the extension and retraction strokes of the electric cylinder 21 detected by the corresponding length detection sensor 22, so that the cleaning part 16 is continuously pressed against the workpiece, eliminating the need for the electromagnet 23 to be de-energized.

[0049] Through the above technical solutions and corresponding working processes, this device can be adapted to cleaning workpieces of different lengths and sizes with high precision. Moreover, it does not require high precision in the placement of the workpiece, as the position of the workpiece relative to the cleaning part 16 can be adjusted by the drive mechanism. It has strong applicability and high versatility.

[0050] In addition, the control system controls the speed of the rotating mechanism 7. When cleaning this type of workpiece for the first time, the rotation speed of the cleaning section 16 and the rotating mechanism 7 can be increased to further improve the cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0051] In this embodiment, an airbag 5 is provided between the connecting arm 17 and the cleaning head 15. The airbag 5 has multiple regions along the circumference of the cleaning part 16. The more regions there are, the more precise the control of the rotation of the cleaning part 16 is. Each region of the airbag 5 can be individually inflated or inhaled to control the rotation direction of the cleaning head 15. Each region of the airbag 5 is provided with a pressure detection sensor for detecting the region's pressure. The control system controls the inflation and deflation of each region of the airbag 5 and receives the pressure value detected by the pressure detection sensor.

[0052] In this embodiment, a pressure threshold range is preset in the control system. Within this pressure threshold range, the cleaning part 16 and the workpiece are in a tight contact state, which can ensure the cleaning part 16 can clean the workpiece.

[0053] In this embodiment, the lateral expansion and contraction of the airbag 5 is more convenient than the longitudinal expansion and contraction. That is, when the airbag 5 is inflated, it first expands in the direction close to the cleaning head 15, and then expands in the direction perpendicular to the cleaning head 15. The design of the airbag 5 area and the coordinated design of the pressure detection sensor enable the cleaning head 15 to detect protrusions and depressions on the workpiece. When the drive component 12 moves the workpiece axially or the rotation mechanism 7 moves the workpiece circumferentially, if the control system detects that the pressure value detected by the pressure detection sensor in a certain area is less than the preset pressure threshold, and the pressure remains less than the threshold even after continued inflation, it indicates that there is a depression at that point. The control system inflates the airbag 5 area within the pressure threshold range, causing the cleaning part 16 to rotate towards the airbag 5 area below the pressure threshold range. When the pressure in the airbag 5 below the pressure threshold range is within the pressure threshold range, inflation stops, completing the cleaning of the depression area of ​​the workpiece. Similarly, if the pressure value of the airbag 5 in a certain area is significantly higher than the pressure threshold, it indicates that there is a protrusion. The control system then controls the airbag 5 in the corresponding area to inflate or inhale, driving the cleaning part 16 to rotate, ensuring that the airbag 5 area is stably within the pressure threshold range.

[0054] In this embodiment, the airbag 5 not only ensures that the cleaning part 16 remains in a tight contact with the cleaning part 16, but also maintains this tight contact even if the radii of adjacent cleaning parts 16 change slightly. Simultaneously, it effectively prevents excessive cleaning force between the cleaning parts 16 and the cleaning part 16, ensuring that the cleaning force between the cleaning parts 16 and the cleaning part 16 remains within a reasonable range. Furthermore, the contact condition can be detected by the pressure value of the pressure sensor. For example, when cleaning this type of workpiece for the first time, the drive mechanism 2 14 drives... When the cleaning head 15 moves down to the designated position, if the pressure sensor does not detect a change in pressure, it indicates that the cleaning part 16 is not in contact with the outer surface of the workpiece. In this case, the drive mechanism 14 continues to move down until the pressure value is within the pressure threshold range. Alternatively, if the pressure value is too high, it indicates excessive downward movement. In this case, the drive mechanism 14 moves up until the pressure value is within the pressure threshold range (or it can stop moving if the pressure value is within the pressure threshold range before moving to the designated position). This eliminates the need for operators to manually move the drive mechanism 14 for different types of workpieces each time. Momentum can be reset or measured, greatly improving work efficiency, versatility, and applicability. Secondly, it can also detect the cleaning effect. When the driving component 312 does not move the workpiece axially and the rotating mechanism 7 does not move the workpiece circumferentially: a. If the pressure value gradually decreases within the threshold range, it indicates that impurities still exist at that location; b. If the pressure value remains constant and continues to increase after inflation, it indicates that the location has been cleaned; if the pressure value increases and then decreases after inflation, c. if the decrease is significant, it indicates that impurities still exist at that location. If there is poor contact between the workpiece and the cleaning head 15 (possibly due to the cleaning part 16 removing the thick-section of the workpiece during cleaning, causing a large change in the distance between the cleaning part 16 and the workpiece), then inflate the air to bring the pressure value within the pressure threshold range; or if the decrease is small, it indicates that the workpiece is hard (a false stability occurs, requiring a certain time or rotation speed to remove the workpiece), then increase the rotation speed of the cleaning part 16 until the pressure value stabilizes, and then repeat step b to achieve self-detection of the cleaning effect.

[0055] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
