The controller, the first driving unit, the second driving unit, the gas supply unit and the high-pressure pump need to be electrically connected.
[0024] As shown in Figures 1-6 The number of the spray heads is 5, 1 is opposite to the connecting rod journal, 2 are opposite to the included angle between the crank and the crankshaft rod part, and 2 are opposite to the axial end of the crankshaft. After the crank cleaning mechanism and the turnover mechanism, the crank, the crankshaft rod part and the connecting rod journal are subjected to targeted oxide skin removing processing, and the connecting part of the connecting rod journal and the crank and the connecting part of the crank rod and the crank are easy to leave the oxide skin which is difficult to remove. The oxide skin in these places is also the most likely to affect the quality of the crank forging in the subsequent forging process, so 5 spray heads are arranged for further targeted processing to remove the parts which are difficult to remove and the parts which are small in position and difficult to target (such as the end of the crank), and the crank is further comprehensively processed.
[0025] The support is a rectangular door frame structure, which comprises two side plates and a top plate, one end of the top plate is connected to the upper end of one of the side plates, the other end of the top plate is connected to the upper end of the other side plate, and the lower ends of the two side plates are directly placed on the ground. The spray mechanism can easily produce large water mist, which can bring the treated oxide skin and cause pollution of the working environment. Therefore, the rectangular door frame structure support is beneficial to protect the working environment and facilitate the use of the support function. The first driving unit comprises a first driving motor and a belt transmission assembly. The first driving motor drives the first rotating shaft on the front section of the transmission belt through belt transmission. The first rotating shaft on the front section of the transmission belt drives the second rotating shaft through belt transmission. The second rotating shaft drives the third rotating shaft through belt transmission, and so on, to drive all the rotating shafts on the front section of the transmission belt to rotate. One end of the last rotating shaft on one of the front sections of the transmission belt drives the first rotating shaft on the rear section of the transmission belt through belt transmission. The first rotating shaft on the rear section of the transmission belt drives the second rotating shaft through belt transmission. The second rotating shaft drives the third rotating shaft through belt transmission, and so on, to drive all the rotating shafts on the rear section of the transmission belt to rotate. This design is simple and effective in power transmission, and has order and organization, which is easy to implement. The second driving unit comprises a second driving motor and a second transmission assembly. The cleaning unit comprises two rotating wheels, each rotating wheel is provided with steel brush hairs on the circumference, and the two rotating wheels are horizontally arranged below the two front sections of the transmission belt, respectively. The second driving motor drives the two rotating wheels to rotate through the second transmission assembly. The steel brush hairs on the rotating wheels are directly and effectively used to remove the oxide skin on the outside of the crankshaft crank. The cost is low and the specificity is strong. The two front sections of the transmission belt are inclined to one side of the crank slot. Since the front section of the transmission belt is the initial treatment, the removed oxide skin is usually large and cannot be easily discharged through the gap between the rotating shafts. Therefore, the inclined setting is beneficial to slide the large oxide skin into the crank slot for centralized cleaning, so as to prevent a large amount of large oxide skin from accumulating on the front section of the transmission belt. In addition, the diameters of the crankshaft rod parts are various, but generally the inside of the crank is large and the two end parts are small. Therefore, the inclined surface is provided to facilitate the rotating shaft with steel brush hairs to clean the oxide skin on the crankshaft rod. The upper surface of the top head is inclined, and the inclination is from the rear side to the front side of the top head. The crankshaft crank gradually realizes 90-degree overturning along the inclined surface, which is beneficial to the rotating shaft with steel brush hairs on both sides of the overturning mechanism to remove the oxide skin on the crankshaft rod. At the same time, a overturning guide angle is reserved for the subsequent top head to lift the crankshaft crank, and the overall overturning of the crankshaft can only be realized after the crankshaft is pre-rotated by 90 degrees or a certain angle. The upper surface of the knocking head is an arc surface, which is inclined from the front side to the rear side of the knocking head. The arc surface design is to make the overturned crankshaft have a better knocking effect. It needs to be emphasized that the upper surfaces of the top head and the knocking head are made of high-temperature resistant materials. A slag receiving box is arranged on the inner side of the bottom of the rack. It is convenient to centrally clean the oxide skin. The third position sensor is arranged on the front side of the support and fixed on the support.It can be understood that each position sensor is directly opposite the crankshaft body, mainly for detecting whether the crankshaft passes and whether corresponding processing is needed, and after each position sensor receives the model, the actuator can be controlled by a time delay relay to operate within a time delay range, or the previous actuator can be stopped when the next position sensor is triggered. The device described in the application can be controlled for 5-10 seconds, which is the best, and there are many ways, which will not be listed.
[0026] Working principle: the crankshaft after forging processing is placed at the front of the transmission device by clamping tools, specifically, the crankshaft rod part is placed on two front conveying belts, the crankshaft crank part falls into the crank groove, and the crankshaft moves backward with the conveying mechanism when the controller starts the conveying mechanism. When reaching the first position sensor position, the controller starts the crank cleaning mechanism to remove the oxide skin outside the crank. When the crankshaft reaches the second position sensor position, the crankshaft is first rotated by the inclined surface of the top head, and then the crankshaft is lifted and turned over by the top head under the action of the cylinder. After the crankshaft is turned over, it collides with the knocking head to clean the oxide skin of the crankshaft crank part by vibration. At the same time, the rotating shaft with steel brush on both sides of the turning mechanism cleans the crankshaft rod part in one round. Subsequently, the crankshaft crank is turned over by 90 degrees along the auxiliary transmission belt and enters the rear conveying belt. When the crankshaft reaches the third position sensor position, the spraying mechanism is started to clean the parts difficult to clean and the whole. Finally, the crankshaft with the oxide skin cleaned is conveyed to the next station by the rear conveying belt.
