Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning equipment, and more particularly to an aluminum ingot cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum deposits refer to the aluminum oxide precipitates that form on the surface of aluminum ingots during aluminum processing. The formation of aluminum deposits is related to various factors, including the operating conditions of the aluminum processing equipment, the composition of the aluminum ingots, and the production process. If aluminum deposits are not cleaned in a timely manner, they will accumulate on the equipment surface, affecting the equipment's appearance and performance; the accumulation of aluminum deposits may cause equipment malfunctions and reduce the equipment's lifespan; and the accumulation of aluminum deposits will lead to the waste of aluminum elements during production, affecting production efficiency and cost control.

[0003] During the production of aluminum profiles, processes such as extrusion and rolling easily lead to the formation of aluminum deposits on the surface. These deposits affect the appearance and quality of the aluminum profiles, and also negatively impact subsequent processing and use. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the surface of aluminum profiles to remove aluminum deposits and other impurities. Cleaning aluminum deposits from the surface of aluminum profiles can be done using chemical or physical methods. Chemical methods primarily use acidic or alkaline cleaning agents, utilizing a chemical reaction to dissolve and remove the aluminum deposits. Physical methods mainly use mechanical force to shake off or remove the aluminum deposits.

[0004] However, due to the presence of the central hole and groove in the aluminum profile, the inner side of the central hole and groove is difficult for workers to wipe during chemical immersion, which makes it inconvenient to thoroughly clean the aluminum profile. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing an aluminum ingot cleaning device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: an aluminum ingot cleaning device, including a cleaning tank, with connecting plates rotatably installed on the front and rear inner walls of the cleaning tank, two intermediate plates fixedly connected between the front connecting plates, and an air pipe slidingly passing through the two intermediate plates, with several spray holes opened on both sides of the air pipe, the air pipe slidingly passing through the connecting plates, and the front and rear ends of the air pipe being fixed to the surface of the cleaning tank respectively, two connecting strips fixedly connected to the edge of each connecting plate, the connecting strips extending obliquely upward, and at least two limiting rods fixedly connected between the front and rear connecting strips, the front connecting plate being driven by a servo mechanism, and a concave frame being slidably installed on the outer edges of the two intermediate plates through an adjustment mechanism;

[0029] The following description is intended to disclose the invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0030] like Figures 1-8The aluminum ingot cleaning equipment shown includes a cleaning tank 1. Connecting plates 4 are rotatably installed on the front and rear inner walls of the cleaning tank 1. Two intermediate plates 11 are fixedly connected between the front connecting plates 4. An air pipe 7 slides through the two intermediate plates 11. The air pipe 7 is made of rigid metal. Several spray holes 8 are opened on both sides of the air pipe 7. The spray holes 8 on both sides are arranged in a row and the adjacent spray holes 8 are equidistant to ensure the uniformity of air bubbles during cleaning. The air pipe 7 slides through the connecting plates 4, and the front and rear ends of the air pipe 7 are fixed to the surface of the cleaning tank 1. Two connecting strips 5 are fixedly connected to the edge of each connecting plate 4. The connecting strips 5 extend obliquely upward. At least two limit rods 6 are fixedly connected between the front and rear connecting strips 5. The front connecting plate 4 is driven by a servo mechanism. The outer edges of the two intermediate plates 11 are slidably installed with concave frames 9 through an adjustment mechanism.

[0031] like Figure 7 As shown, the aluminum profile 25 is placed between several limiting rods 6, and the lower surface of the aluminum profile 25 is supported by the upper end of the concave frame 9.

[0032] like Figure 8 As shown, the aluminum profile 25 has a central hole 26 in the middle and a slot 27 on the outer surface of the aluminum profile 25.

[0033] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, rotating bushings 3 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two connecting discs 4 that are far apart from each other. The rotating bushings 3 are rotatably embedded in the surface of the cleaning box 1. An anti-detachment disc 23 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating bushing 3.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the servo mechanism includes a mounting plate 22 fixedly installed on the rear surface of the cleaning tank 1. A servo motor 21 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 22. The output shaft of the servo motor 21 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 20. A driven gear 19 meshes with the side of the drive gear 20. A rotating bushing 3 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rear surface of the driven gear 19. An air pipe 7 slides through the driven gear 19. When the servo motor 21 rotates, it causes the drive gear 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 19 to rotate, causing the connecting plate 4 to rotate. The servo motor 21 should be equipped with a brake mechanism to stop and stabilize after the aluminum profile 25 is flipped.

[0035] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a fixing plate 18 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the air pipe 7 near the front and back respectively. The lower end of the fixing plate 18 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cleaning box 1 to ensure the stability of the air pipe 7. A connector 17 is provided at the front end of the air pipe 7 to connect with the external air pump power supply terminal.

[0036] The adjustment mechanism includes several guide rods 12 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the concave frame 9. The guide rods 12 slide through the intermediate plate 11. A threaded rod 14 with rotatable engagement is provided through the lower surface of the concave frame 9. The threaded rod 14 passes through the intermediate plate 11 and is threadedly engaged. Limiting heads 13 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the threaded rod 14 and the guide rods 12 respectively. The limiting heads 13 are used to prevent the upper ends of the threaded rod 14 or the guide rod 12 from separating from the intermediate plate 11.

[0037] The lower end of the threaded rod 14 is fixedly connected to a screw head 16. A limiting plate 15 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod 14. The limiting plate 15 and the screw head 16 slide in contact with the inner and outer surfaces of the concave frame 9 respectively to ensure that the threaded rod 14 can rotate and will not disengage from the concave frame 9. The screw head 16 can be rotated by a wrench to adjust the position of the concave frame 9, so that the concave frame 9 moves towards an upward or downward position.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, a drain pipe 24 is installed on one side surface of the cleaning tank 1 near the lower end to discharge waste liquid.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, one side of the cleaning box 1 is designed as an inclined surface. The inclined surface design allows the worker to avoid being bumped by the surface of the cleaning box 1 when bending their legs while handling the aluminum profile 25 on this side. The other side of the cleaning box 1 is not designed as an inclined surface to ensure the stability of the cleaning box 1 and prevent tipping. A guide plate 2 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the corresponding inclined surface of the cleaning box 1. This part is designed to assist in the placement of the aluminum profile 25 and ensure that the lower end of the aluminum profile 25 can slide between the upper and lower limit rods 6 during the placement process.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, a contact strip 10 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the concave frame 9. The surface of the contact strip 10 is smoother to prevent scratching the lower surface of the aluminum profile 25 when arranging it.

[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, during use, the operator first fills the cleaning tank 1 with water, then adds an alkaline or acidic cleaning agent. The user places the aluminum profile 25 between several limiting rods 6. The lower surface of the aluminum profile 25 is supported by the upper end of the concave frame 9. To increase cleaning efficiency, multiple aluminum profiles 25 can be placed side by side, such as... Figure 9As shown, by injecting high-pressure gas into the air pipe 7, a large number of bubbles are generated at the nozzle 8. The bubbles enter the central hole 26 and the slot 27, and come into contact with the upper inner wall of the front and rear slots 27 and the upper inner wall of the central hole 26. The impact and tumbling of a large number of bubbles achieve the cleaning of the aluminum deposits on the corresponding inner walls. Then, driven by the servo motor 21, the drive gear 20 rotates, causing the driven gear 19 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating bushing 3 to rotate. The limit rod 6 reverses the aluminum profile 25 to the other side, making it symmetrical to the previous position. At this time, high-pressure gas is injected into the air pipe 7 again, similar to the above, to clean the inner walls of the central hole 26 and the slot 27 again. The cleaned surface is the area that was not cleaned in the first cleaning. Therefore, after completing the two-step cleaning, the aluminum profile 25 can be thoroughly cleaned. This device has the function of conveniently cleaning the inside of the aluminum profile 25, bringing convenience.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
