[0031] Example 1

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 7This invention provides a technical solution: a metal gasket cleaning device, comprising a cleaning tank 1, a hole on the surface of the cleaning tank 1, a sealed bearing 2 installed in the hole, a vertical rod 3 inserted into the sealed bearing 2, a support frame 4 installed at one end of the vertical rod 3, a bearing 5 installed in the support frame 4, a lifting screw 6 installed in the bearing 5, a bracket 7 installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, a second motor 8 installed in the bracket 7; a housing 9, a second bracket 10 installed inside the housing 9, a motor 11 installed on the surface of the second bracket 10, an installation plate 12 installed on the side of the housing 9, a placement groove 13 opened at one end of the installation plate 12, a base 14 installed in the placement groove 13, a hydraulic lifting rod 15 installed at the bottom of the base 14, and an upper cleaning plate 16 and a lower cleaning plate 17 sleeved on the surface of the support frame 4;

[0033] When cleaning metal washers, the process begins by placing them into the cleaning tank 1. Then, the hydraulic lifting rod 15 is activated to lower the upper cleaning plate 16 into the cleaning tank 1, allowing the lower cleaning plate 17 to contact the surface of the metal washer in conjunction with the upper cleaning plate 16. Next, the second motor 8 is activated to rotate the support frame 4, causing both the upper and lower cleaning plates 16 to rotate and clean the metal washers through centrifugal force. After cleaning, the motor 11 is activated to rotate the lifting screw 6, allowing the lower cleaning plate 17 to lift the cleaned metal washers from the cleaning tank 1 for easy removal. This method avoids the inconvenience and time-consuming nature of traditional cleaning equipment that simply uses a water gun to rinse the surface of the metal washers, requiring flipping and rinsing the other side after rinsing one side, or placing a large number of metal washers in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 for cleaning, which requires manual retrieval from the tank 1 after cleaning.

[0034] An upper cleaning plate 16 and a lower cleaning plate 17 are installed in the cleaning tank 1. A gear 18 is fitted onto one end of the upright 3. A second motor 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support 7. The second motor 8 and the motor 11 are powered by an external power source. A second gear 19 is fitted onto the transmission end of the second motor 8. The gears 18 and 19 mesh with each other for transmission. One end of the upright 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 4. The surface of the lower cleaning plate 17 is provided with bristles 22. A third gear 23 is fitted onto one end of the lifting screw 6. A fourth gear 24 is fitted onto the transmission end of the motor 11. The third gear 23 and 24 mesh with each other. The transmission is combined, the motor 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second bracket 10, one end of the second bracket 10 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the housing 9, the housing 9 is fixedly connected to the end face of the support frame 4, the housing 9 can cover and protect the motor 11, one end of the hydraulic lifting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base 14, the lifting end of the hydraulic lifting rod 15 is provided with a rotating bearing 29, one end of the rotating bearing 29 is provided with a positioning nut 30, the bottom of the upper cleaning plate 16 is provided with a brush base 31, there are multiple sets of brush bases 31, and the multiple sets of brush bases 31 are arranged in a regular circular pattern about the center point of the bottom of the upper cleaning plate 16;

[0035] In use, first inject the cleaning solution into the cleaning tank 1, then place the metal gasket inside the cleaning tank 1. Then, start the hydraulic lifting rod 15 to make the upper cleaning plate 16 and the lower cleaning plate 17 contact the upper and lower surfaces of the metal gasket. Then, start the second motor 8. The meshing action of the gear 18 and the second gear 19 will make the upright 3 cooperate with the sealed bearing 2 to rotate the support frame 4. The rotation of the support frame 4 will cause the upper cleaning plate 16 and the lower cleaning plate 17 to clean the upper and lower surfaces of the metal gasket using the bristles 22. The centrifugal force generated by the weight of the metal gasket and the high-speed rotation of the upper cleaning plate 16 and the lower cleaning plate 17 will make the bristles 22 on the surface of the upper cleaning plate 16 and the lower cleaning plate 17 clean the surface of the metal gasket.

[0036] A lifting screw 6 is installed inside the support frame 4. A third gear 23 is sleeved on one end of the lifting screw 6, and a fourth gear 24 is sleeved on the transmission end of the motor 11. The third gear 23 and the fourth gear 24 mesh with each other for transmission. The motor 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second bracket 10. One end of the second bracket 10 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the housing 9. One end of the mounting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the housing 9. There are two sets of mounting plates 12, which are symmetrically distributed about the housing 9. The placement groove 13 opened on the end face of the mounting plate 12 has a limiting hole 25 on the side. The placement groove 13 has a "T" shaped plate structure. The base 14 has a "T" shaped plate structure. The base 14 is inserted into the placement groove 13. A limiting groove 26 is opened on one end of the base 14. A positioning rod 27 is inserted into the side of the limiting groove 26. One end of the positioning rod 27 can be inserted into the limiting hole 25.

[0037] When it is necessary to remove the metal gasket from the cleaning tank 1 after cleaning, first start the motor 11 so that the third gear 23 and the fourth gear 24 can rotate the lifting screw 6. This will allow the fixing bracket 21 screwed on the lifting screw 6 to move up and down. By moving the fixing bracket 21 up, the lower cleaning plate 17 will move up, which can lift the metal gasket in the cleaning tank 1 for easy removal by the staff. When it is necessary to remove the hydraulic lifting rod 15, the positioning rod 27 can be pulled to disengage one end of the positioning rod 27 from the limiting hole 25. This will allow the base 14 to be removed from the placement slot 13, and the hydraulic lifting rod 15 to be removed from the mounting plate 12 more conveniently.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Please see Figures 1-2 Based on Embodiment 1, in order to facilitate the limiting of the positioning rod 27, this embodiment adds a spring 28. The spring 28 is sleeved on the surface of the positioning rod 27, one end of the spring 28 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning rod 27, and the other end of the spring 28 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting groove 26.

[0040] When in use, the spring 28 can be used to push the positioning rod back to its original position by means of the spring force of the spring 28. The spring 28 also limits the positioning rod 27 to a certain extent, preventing the positioning rod 27 from moving randomly, which improves the stability of the hydraulic lifting rod 15 and facilitates the cleaning of the metal gasket. It further solves the problem that it is inconvenient and time-consuming to manually retrieve the cleaned metal gasket from the cleaning tank. The metal gasket can be retrieved without manual intervention.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] Please see Figures 3-7 Based on Embodiment 2, in order to facilitate the cleaning of the metal gasket, this embodiment adds bristles 22, and the surface of the brush base 31 is also provided with bristles 22. The surface of the upper cleaning plate 16 is provided with a threaded rod 32, and the positioning nut 30 can be screwed onto the threaded rod 32.

[0043] When it is necessary to remove the upper cleaning plate 16, simply rotate the positioning nut 30 so that the positioning nut 30 cooperates with the rotating bearing 29 to disengage from the threaded rod 32, and the upper cleaning plate 16 can be removed. The bristles 22 can increase the cleaning effect of the metal gasket, thereby further solving the problem that it is inconvenient and time-consuming to manually scoop out the cleaned metal gasket from the cleaning tank. The metal gasket can be removed without manual scooping.

[0044] Example 4

[0045] Please see Figures 1-7Based on Embodiment 3, this embodiment also provides a method for cleaning metal gaskets:

[0046] First, when it is necessary to clean the metal gasket, the metal gasket can be placed into the cleaning tank 1;

[0047] Then, by activating the hydraulic lifting rod 15, the upper cleaning plate 16 is moved down and inserted into the cleaning tank 1, so that the lower cleaning plate 17 cooperates with the upper cleaning plate 16 to contact the surface of the metal gasket.

[0048] Finally, the second motor 8 is started to rotate the support frame 4, which in turn causes the upper cleaning plate 16 and the lower cleaning plate 17 to rotate. The metal gasket is cleaned on both sides by centrifugal force. After cleaning, the motor 11 is started to rotate the lifting screw 6, which allows the lower cleaning plate 17 to lift the cleaned metal gasket from the cleaning tank 1, making it easier for staff to remove it.

[0049] Although the illustrative specific embodiments of this application have been described above to enable those skilled in the art to understand this application, this application is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, all applications utilizing the concept of this application are protected as long as various variations are within the spirit and scope of this application as defined and determined by the appended claims.
