[0002] To maintain the original performance of bearings in good condition for as long as possible, maintenance and repair are necessary to prevent accidents, ensure operational reliability, and improve productivity and economy. Maintenance should be carried out regularly according to the operating standards corresponding to the mechanical operating conditions. This includes monitoring the operating status, replenishing or replacing lubricant, periodic disassembly, and inspection. The bearing cleaning process mainly involves first recording the bearing's appearance, confirming the amount of residual lubricant, taking samples of the lubricant for testing, and then cleaning with gasoline or kerosene. Currently, the cleanliness of cleaned bearings is generally judged by manual visual inspection, but there is a lack of a method that can accurately test the cleanliness of cleaned bearings. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a bearing cleaning device and a method for detecting the cleanliness of inspected bearings. By placing a disassembled bearing sample onto a bearing placement assembly and then covering it with a lid, a closed space is formed, preventing cleaning fluid from splashing during the cleaning process and causing inaccurate measurements. The rotating assembly drives the bearing placement assembly to rotate, allowing the cleaning fluid from the nozzle to spray onto the bearing sample from different directions. When the cleaning fluid reaches a certain level, ultrasonic cleaning is employed to more thoroughly remove impurities from the bearing sample, ensuring a more complete cleaning process and thus more accurate final measurement results.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0005] A bearing cleaning device includes a housing, a cover hinged to the upper part of the housing via a pivot, a plurality of nozzles spaced apart on the lower part of the cover, a rotating assembly disposed inside the housing, and a bearing placement assembly engaged at the upper part of the rotating assembly; an ultrasonic component disposed on the inner wall of the housing, the height of the ultrasonic component being lower than the height of the bearing placement assembly.

[0006] Using the above technical solution, the disassembled bearing sample is placed on the bearing placement assembly. After the cover is closed, a closed space is formed, which will not cause the cleaning fluid to splash during the cleaning process, thus preventing inaccurate detection. The rotation of the rotating assembly drives the bearing placement assembly to rotate, so that the cleaning fluid sprayed from the nozzle can spray the bearing sample from different directions. When the cleaning fluid sprays to a certain level, it is combined with ultrasonic cleaning to more completely remove impurities from the bearing sample, ensuring a more thorough cleaning process and thus more accurate final measurement results.

[0007] Preferably, a first motor is provided above the cover, a fixing plate is provided at the lower part of the cover, the upper part of the fixing plate is connected to the output shaft of the first motor, and several nozzles are spaced apart at the lower part of the fixing plate, with each nozzle connected to an external cleaning fluid pipeline.

[0008] Using the above technical solution, the rotation of the first motor drives the fixed plate to rotate, and the rotation of the fixed plate drives the spray head on it to rotate. The rotation of the spray head can spray the bearing sample at different angles.

[0012] Using the above technical solution, the bearing sample can be snapped onto the clamping block, the connecting rod can support and fix the clamping block, and the handle makes it easy to lift the fixing frame.

[0013] Preferably, sliders are provided on both sides of the fixing frame, and annular grooves are provided on the inner wall of the box, and the sliders and grooves can cooperate with each other.

[0016] Using the above technical solution, the ultrasonic generator converts mains power into a controllable high-frequency sinusoidal current signal and transmits this signal to the ultrasonic transducer. The ultrasonic transducer generates high-frequency high voltage, which together with the side wall of the chamber produces high-frequency resonance, thereby causing the bearing sample on the fixed frame to be subjected to ultrasonic action, so that the impurities on it are thoroughly cleaned into the cleaning fluid.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the box body is composed of four inclined plates, and every two inclined plates form a V-shaped inclined plate group. The two V-shaped inclined plate groups are located on both sides of the rotating assembly. The bottom of each of the two V-shaped inclined plate groups is provided with an opening, and several support legs are provided below the opening on the lower part of the box body.

[0018] Using the above technical solution, the V-shaped inclined plate assembly prevents the cleaning fluid from accumulating when it is discharged from the opening, and the support legs facilitate the lifting of the box and provide support.

[0019] Preferably, a control system is also provided on the outer wall of the housing. The control system is electrically connected to several of the nozzles, rotating components and ultrasonic components respectively. The control system is used to control the coordinated operation of several nozzles, rotating components and ultrasonic components.

[0020] A method for testing the cleanliness of bearings during maintenance, using the aforementioned bearing cleaning device, includes the following steps:

[0027] Step 7. Weigh the dried filter membrane to obtain its weight m3;

[0028] Step 8. Take the substance on the dried filter membrane for analysis.

[0029] Preferably, the sample cleaning method described in step 4 is as follows:

[0030] Step 401: Place the disassembled bearing samples onto the mounting bracket. Different models of samples have specific clips.

[0031] Step 402: Attach the mounting bracket to the column and close the cover;

[0032] Step 403: The control system controls the first motor to rotate, and at the same time the nozzle sprays cleaning fluid to rinse the bearing from all directions;

[0033] Step 404: At the same time, the second motor rotates, driving the fixed frame to rotate in the opposite direction, increasing the cleaning force of the cleaning fluid sprayed from the nozzle;

[0034] Step 405: When the sprayed cleaning fluid covers the bearing sample located on the fixed frame, the control system controls the ultrasonic component to emit ultrasonic vibrations to further clean the bearing sample with ultrasonic waves.

[0035] Step 406: After cleaning one end for a period of time, the controller opens the opening, allowing the cleaning fluid to enter the collection device; repeat step 403 until the set number of times is reached.

[0036] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0037] The disassembled bearing sample is placed on the bearing placement assembly.

The rotating assembly rotates, causing the bearing placement assembly to rotate, so that the cleaning fluid sprayed from the nozzle can spray the bearing sample from different directions. When the cleaning fluid sprays to a certain level, it is combined with ultrasonic cleaning to more completely remove impurities from the bearing sample, ensuring a more thorough cleaning process and thus more accurate final measurement results.
