Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic cleaning of pipes, and in particular to an ultrasonic cleaning machine for automotive manifolds. Background Technology

[0002] The manifold is a part of the automotive piping system, usually made of metal. Its main function is to control the flow of refrigerant, allowing for flow control at the inlet and outlet of the microchannels to increase heat exchange efficiency. In addition, the manifold can strengthen the connection between the manifold and the microchannels. Because the manifold needs to adapt to the special structure of the car, it usually comes in shapes such as vertical pipe, pipe with bent ends, and pipe with bent middle.

[0003] Currently, when cleaning automotive manifolds, existing patent application number CN201711136260.1 discloses an ultrasonic cleaning machine and ultrasonic cleaning method for tubular workpieces. The ultrasonic cleaning machine includes a frame, a loading platform, an ultrasonic cleaning tank, a cutting air trough, a spray tank, a drying tank, and a unloading platform. The loading platform, ultrasonic cleaning tank, cutting air trough, spray tank, drying tank, and unloading platform are arranged sequentially on the frame from one end to the other. The ultrasonic cleaning machine also includes a conveying mechanism on the frame for sequentially conveying the workpiece through the loading platform, ultrasonic cleaning tank, cutting air trough, spray tank, and drying tank, as well as a first drive component for driving the conveying mechanism.

[0004] However, during the use of the device, it was found that the device was not very effective at cleaning the inner wall of the pipe, making it difficult to remove stubborn dirt from the inner wall of the pipe. In addition, the cleaning method was relatively simple, which reduced the cleaning effect and efficiency of the inner and outer walls of the pipe. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an ultrasonic cleaning machine for automotive manifolds, which uses two cleaning methods—ultrasonic water jet and ultrasonic immersion—to improve the cleaning effect of the inner wall, improve the removal of internal dirt, and improve the cleaning efficiency of the manifold.

[0006] This invention discloses an ultrasonic cleaning machine for automotive manifolds, comprising a drive unit, a conveying unit, a cleaning unit, a first chuck, a base, a housing, a first sleeve, a hose, multiple sets of drain holes, and a baffle. The first chuck and the first sleeve are arranged opposite each other. The housing is mounted on the top of the base. The first sleeve is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the housing via the drive unit and communicates with the inside of the housing. The hose passes through the housing and the first sleeve and extends into the manifold. Multiple sets of drain holes are located at the top of the hose, and multiple ultrasonic transducers are installed inside the hose. The baffle is installed at the left end opening of the first sleeve. The conveying unit communicates with the hose and is used to convey cleaning fluid into the hose and to rewind the hose. The cleaning unit is located above the housing and is used to clean the outer wall of the manifold. The right end of the manifold to be cleaned is clamped and fixed by the first chuck. The first sleeve is fitted onto the left end of the manifold, and then the hose is unwound by the conveying unit, allowing the hose to extend into the manifold. Then, the cleaning fluid mixed with abrasive is conveyed under high pressure to the inside of the hose through the conveying device, so that the cleaning fluid is sprayed upward through multiple sets of drain holes. At the same time, the ultrasonic transducer vibrates the hose ultrasonically, so that the hose uses ultrasonic water jets to wash and polish the inner wall of the manifold. The water inside the manifold is discharged into the housing through the first sleeve and flows back to the conveying device through the housing. Due to the obstruction of the opening of the first sleeve by the baffle, water accumulates in the lower half of the manifold, so that the hose vibrates the accumulated water ultrasonically. At the same time, the drive device drives the first sleeve to rotate, and the rotation of the first sleeve drives the manifold to rotate. Thus, the manifold is subjected to two cleaning methods during the rotation of the manifold: ultrasonic water jets and ultrasonic immersion, which improves the cleaning effect of the inner wall. When the baffle rotates and moves to the upper half of the first sleeve, the water inside the manifold is discharged more quickly. By adopting an intermittent drainage method, the internal dirt removal effect is improved. At the same time, the cleaning device cleans the outer wall of the manifold, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning machine for the manifold.

[0007] Preferably, the conveying device includes a moving device, a water tank, a filter box, a filter screen, a water pipe, a pump body, a support base, a connector, a take-up drum, a first motor, three sets of control valves, and two sets of discharge valves. The water tank is located below the first chuck and the housing. The filter box is connected to the water tank via a pipeline. The filter screen is installed on the inner wall of the filter box. The first input end of the water pipe is connected to the filter box, the second input end of the water pipe is connected to the cleaning fluid storage tank, the third input end of the water pipe is connected to the clean water storage tank, and the output end of the water pipe is connected to the input end of the pump body. The take-up drum is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the support base. The connector is installed on the outer wall of the support base. The output end of the pump body is connected to the connector, and the connector is connected to the take-up drum. The input end of the hose is connected to the inside of the take-up drum. The first motor is installed on the outer wall of the support base, and the output end of the first motor is concentrically connected to the take-up drum. The three sets of control valves are respectively connected to the three input ends of the water pipe. The two sets of discharge valves are both connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the housing. The moving device is installed... On the outer wall of the housing, a moving device is used to move the hose left and right. A first motor drives a take-up drum to rotate and unwind, so that the take-up drum delivers the hose into the manifold. The second inlet of the water pipe is connected to the cleaning fluid storage tank. The cleaning fluid is drawn out by opening the pump body and delivered to the take-up drum through the connector. Then, the cleaning fluid is discharged into the manifold through multiple sets of drain holes. The used cleaning fluid flows into the housing. Since there is a lot of dirt at the beginning of cleaning, the cleaning fluid is discharged out through the first set of discharge valves. When there is less dirt, the cleaning fluid is discharged into the water tank through the second set of discharge valves. Then, large pieces of dirt in the cleaning fluid are filtered out by the filter screen, so that the cleaning fluid can be recycled. After cleaning for a certain period of time, clean water is delivered into the hose to rinse the manifold, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the manifold. The moving device drives the hose to move left and right back and forth inside the manifold, which improves the rinsing effect of the multiple sets of drain holes on different parts of the inner wall of the manifold.

[0008] Preferably, the cleaning device includes a guide device, a slider, a guide member, a lever, a U-shaped member, and multiple sets of ultrasonic brushes. The slider is positioned above the manifold by moving left and right via a drive device. The upper part of the guide member is slidably mounted on the slider. The lever is mounted on the outer wall of the guide member. The U-shaped member is mounted on the bottom end of the guide member. Multiple sets of ultrasonic brushes are mounted on the inner wall of the U-shaped member. The guide device is positioned to the side of the slider and is used to guide the sliding of the guide member. The U-shaped member is fitted onto the upper part of the outer wall of the manifold. By activating multiple sets of ultrasonic brushes, the outer wall of the manifold is ultrasonically cleaned. The drive device drives the slider to move left and right reciprocally, causing the slider to move the U-shaped member left and right, thereby cleaning different positions on the outer wall of the manifold with ultrasonic brushes. When the first sleeve rotates the manifold, it simultaneously rotates the guide device. The guide device guides the sliding of the guide member, causing the guide member to move the U-shaped member synchronously with the curvature of the manifold, thereby improving the cleaning effect of multiple sets of ultrasonic brushes on the outer wall of the manifold.

[0009] Preferably, the drive device includes a linkage device, a second motor, two sets of first pulleys, a first belt, two sets of second pulleys, a guide groove, a lead screw, and a second belt. The second motor is mounted on the top of the housing. The first set of first pulleys is mounted on the right output end of the second motor. The second set of first pulleys is fitted onto the outer wall of the first sleeve. The first belt is fitted onto the outer walls of the two sets of first pulleys. The first set of second pulleys is mounted on the left output end of the second motor. The guide groove is mounted on the top of the base. The lead screw is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the guide groove. The second set of second pulleys is mounted on the end of the lead screw. The second belt is fitted onto the two sets of second pulleys. On the outer wall, the upper part of the slider is slidably mounted on the guide groove, and the slider is screwed onto the outer wall of the lead screw. The linkage device is installed on the first sleeve and is used to drive the guide device to rotate. When the second motor is turned on, it drives the first pulley and the second pulley to rotate. After the first pulley rotates, it drives the first sleeve to rotate, which in turn drives the collector tube to rotate. After the second pulley rotates, it drives the lead screw to rotate. After the lead screw rotates, it drives the slider to move back and forth, which in turn drives multiple sets of ultrasonic brushes to move back and forth to clean the outer wall of the collector tube. This improves the convenience of the cleaning machine to clean the inner and outer walls of the collector tube simultaneously and increases the cleaning efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a corrugated pipe and an air bladder. The corrugated pipe is connected to the end of the hose, and the air bladder is connected to the right end of the corrugated pipe. When the cleaning fluid or water enters the inside of the hose, the liquid enters the air bladder through the corrugated pipe. After the air bladder expands, it seals the opening at the right end of the manifold. By setting the corrugated pipe, the convenience of the hose moving back and forth inside the manifold is improved.

[0011] Preferably, the guiding device includes a first base, a second base, two sets of cylinders, a second chuck, a mold, a third base, and a second sleeve. The first set of cylinders is mounted on the outer wall of the first base, and the first chuck is rotatably mounted on the moving end of the first set of cylinders. The second set of cylinders is mounted on the outer wall of the second base, and the second chuck is mounted on the moving end of the second set of cylinders. The second sleeve is rotatably mounted on the third base. The two ends of the mold are fixed by the second sleeve and the second chuck, respectively, and the shape of the mold is the same as that of the manifold. The lever is fitted onto the outer wall of the mold. After the first sleeve rotates, it drives the second sleeve to rotate through a linkage device. After the second sleeve rotates, it drives the mold to rotate. After the mold rotates, it uses its own curvature to drive the lever to slide, thereby causing the lever to drive the guide to slide. Since the mold and the manifold have the same shape, the convenience of the ultrasonic brush to clean the outer wall of the manifold during the rotation process is improved.

[0012] Preferably, the linkage device includes two sets of third pulleys and a third belt. The two sets of third pulleys are respectively mounted on the outer walls of the second sleeve and the first sleeve, and the third belt is mounted on the outer walls of the two sets of third pulleys. After the first sleeve rotates, it drives the second sleeve to rotate through the third pulleys and the third belt, thereby improving the convenience of mold rotation.

[0013] Preferably, the moving device includes a housing and two sets of conveying rollers. The housing is mounted on the outer wall of the housing, and both sets of conveying rollers are rotatably mounted on the housing. A drive motor is installed inside the housing, which drives the two sets of conveying rollers to rotate. The hose is conveyed between the two sets of conveying rollers. By rotating the two sets of conveying rollers in opposite directions, the two sets of conveying rollers drive the hose to move back and forth, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning machine on different positions of the inner wall of the manifold.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a nozzle, which is installed on the outer wall of the guide and is connected to an external water source; water is sprayed onto the outer wall of the manifold through the nozzle, thereby improving the cleaning effect of multiple ultrasonic brushes on the outer wall of the manifold.

[0015] Preferably, it also includes a guide post, which is installed on the outer wall of the guide member and slidably mounted on the slider; the guide post guides the sliding of the guide member, thereby improving the stability of the U-shaped member's movement.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The right end of the manifold to be cleaned is clamped and fixed by the first chuck, the first sleeve is fitted onto the left end of the manifold, and then the hose is unwound by the conveying device, so that the hose extends into the inside of the manifold. Then, the cleaning fluid mixed with abrasive is conveyed under high pressure to the inside of the hose by the conveying device, so that the cleaning fluid is sprayed upward through multiple sets of drain holes. At the same time, the ultrasonic transducer vibrates the hose ultrasonically, so that the hose uses ultrasonic water jets to rinse and polish the inner wall of the manifold. The water inside the manifold is discharged into the housing through the first sleeve and flows back to the conveying device through the housing. The obstruction of the first sleeve opening by the baffle plate causes water to accumulate in the lower half of the manifold. This causes the hose to vibrate the accumulated water with ultrasonic waves, while the drive device rotates the first sleeve. The rotation of the first sleeve drives the manifold to rotate, thus subjecting the manifold to two cleaning methods during rotation: ultrasonic water jet and ultrasonic immersion. This improves the cleaning effect on the inner wall. When the baffle plate rotates and moves to the upper half of the first sleeve, the accumulated water inside the manifold is discharged more quickly. By using intermittent drainage, the removal of internal dirt is improved. At the same time, the cleaning device cleans the outer wall of the manifold, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning machine for the manifold. Attached Figure Description

The present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an ultrasonic cleaner for an automotive manifold according to the present invention includes a drive device, a conveying device, a cleaning device, a first chuck 1, a base 2, a housing 3, a first sleeve 4, a hose 5, multiple sets of drain holes 6, and a baffle 7. The first chuck 1 and the first sleeve 4 are arranged opposite each other. The housing 3 is installed on the top of the base 2. The first sleeve 4 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the housing 3 by the drive device and is connected to the inside of the housing 3. The hose 5 passes through the housing 3 and the first sleeve 4 and extends into the manifold. Multiple sets of drain holes 6 are all arranged on the top of the hose 5, and multiple ultrasonic transducers are arranged inside the hose 5. The baffle 7 is installed at the left end opening of the first sleeve 4. The conveying device is connected to the hose 5 and is used to convey cleaning fluid into the hose 5 and to rewind the hose 5. The cleaning device is arranged above the housing 3 and is used to clean the outer wall of the manifold.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the conveying device includes a moving device, a water tank 8, a filter box 9, a filter screen 10, a water pipe 11, a pump body 12, a support base 13, a connector 14, a winding drum 15, a first motor 16, three sets of control valves 17, and two sets of discharge valves 18. The water tank 8 is located below the first chuck 1 and the housing 3. The filter box 9 is connected to the water tank 8 via a pipeline. The filter screen 10 is installed on the inner wall of the filter box 9. The first input end of the water pipe 11 is connected to the filter box 9, the second input end of the water pipe 11 is connected to the cleaning fluid storage tank, the third input end of the water pipe 11 is connected to the clean water storage tank, and the output end of the water pipe 11 is connected to the pump body 12.

Then, the hose 5 is unwound by the conveying device, allowing the hose 5 to extend into the manifold. The cleaning fluid mixed with abrasive is then high-pressure conveyed into the hose 5 by the conveying device, causing the cleaning fluid to spray upwards through multiple drain holes 6. Simultaneously, the ultrasonic transducer vibrates the hose 5 ultrasonically, allowing the hose 5 to use ultrasonic water jets to flush and polish the inner wall of the manifold. The water inside the manifold is discharged into the housing 3 through the first sleeve 4 and then flows back to the conveying device through the housing 3. Due to the baffle 7... The obstruction at the opening of the first sleeve 4 causes water to accumulate in the lower half of the manifold, which in turn causes the hose 5 to vibrate the accumulated water with ultrasonic waves. At the same time, the drive device drives the first sleeve 4 to rotate, and the rotation of the first sleeve 4 drives the manifold to rotate. Thus, the manifold is subjected to two cleaning methods during the rotation: ultrasonic water jet and ultrasonic immersion, which improves the cleaning effect of the inner wall. When the baffle 7 rotates and moves to the upper half of the first sleeve 4, the water inside the manifold is discharged more quickly. By adopting an intermittent drainage method, the internal dirt removal effect is improved. At the same time, the cleaning device cleans the outer wall of the manifold, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning machine for the manifold.

[0045] This invention discloses an ultrasonic cleaner for automotive manifolds. During operation, the right end of the manifold to be cleaned is clamped and fixed using a first chuck 1. A first sleeve 4 is fitted onto the left end of the manifold. A hose 5 is then unwound via a conveying device, extending into the manifold. A cleaning fluid mixed with abrasive is then high-pressure conveyed into the hose 5 via the conveying device, causing the cleaning fluid to spray upwards through multiple drain holes 6. Simultaneously, an ultrasonic transducer vibrates the hose 5 ultrasonically, allowing the hose 5 to use an ultrasonic water jet to rinse and polish the inner wall of the manifold. Water inside the manifold is then discharged through… The first sleeve 4 is discharged into the housing 3 and flows back to the conveying device through the housing 3. Due to the obstruction of the opening of the first sleeve 4 by the baffle 7, water accumulates in the lower half of the collecting pipe, which causes the hose 5 to vibrate the accumulated water with ultrasonic waves. At the same time, the driving device drives the first sleeve 4 to rotate. The rotation of the first sleeve 4 drives the collecting pipe to rotate, so that the collecting pipe is subjected to two cleaning methods during the rotation: ultrasonic water jet and ultrasonic immersion. When the baffle 7 rotates and moves to the upper half of the first sleeve 4, the accumulated water inside the collecting pipe is discharged more quickly, and at the same time, the cleaning device cleans the outer wall of the collecting pipe.

[0046] The main function achieved by this invention is to use ultrasonic water jets to rinse and polish the inner wall of the manifold, so that the manifold is subjected to two cleaning methods, ultrasonic water jets and ultrasonic immersion, during rotation, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the inner wall. When the baffle 7 rotates and moves to the upper half of the first sleeve 4, the water inside the manifold is discharged more quickly. By using intermittent drainage, the effect of removing internal dirt is improved. At the same time, the cleaning device cleans the outer wall of the manifold, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning machine for the manifold.

Technicians in the industry only need to install and operate them according to the accompanying instruction manual, without requiring any creative work from those skilled in the art.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
