The tool magazine is placed in the cleaning barrel and separated from the machine tool. The tools in the entire tool magazine are unusable during cleaning. This may easily lead to a situation where all tools cannot be used when one or several tools need to be cleaned, affecting the normal operation of the machine tool. In addition, during tool cleaning, the relative position between the tool head and the brush is fixed, and the cleaning range of the brush is limited. It cannot be ensured that the brush fully covers every corner of the tool head, which may easily lead to cleaning dead corners and affect the cleaning effect. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a tool magazine parts cleaning device, aiming to solve the problem that the tools in the tool magazine cannot be cleaned online in the related art, and during tool cleaning, the relative position between the tool head and the brush is fixed, the cleaning range of the brush is limited, and cleaning dead corners are prone to occur.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. When the present invention is in use, the cleaning brush disperses and gathers as the diameter of the cleaning cylinder changes during lifting, so that when the cleaning brush approaches the tool, it can be dispersed first, so that the distance between the cleaning brushes is greater than the diameter of the tool head. When the cleaning brush moves to the outside of the tool head, it gathers toward the middle and clings to the side wall of the tool head, thereby better adapting to tool heads of different diameters. Because the cleaning brush is rotated and lifted under the action of the slider, the cleaning brush brushes along the circumference of the tool head after clinging to the tool head and gradually rises, so that the cleaning brush cleans the tool head evenly and comprehensively, avoiding the occurrence of cleaning dead corners, thereby improving the cleaning effect, and there is no need to separate the tool magazine from the machine tool and disassemble the tool, so that the tool can be automatically switched for cleaning in the tool magazine, and the normal use of other tools will not be affected during tool cleaning, thereby realizing online cleaning of the tool in the tool magazine.

[0021] 2. When the present invention is in use, the cleaning table and the scraper scrape the cleaning brush as it descends, so that the debris adhering to the cleaning brush can be effectively peeled off and immersed in the cleaning liquid, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the cleaning brush itself, so that the cleaning brush can always maintain a good use effect, and ensure that the cleaning effect of each tool can reach the best.

[0022] 3. When the present invention is in use, the cleaning assembly, the lifting assembly and the driving assembly can be taken out from the cleaning cylinder by disassembling the cover, so as to facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of each component and prevent debris from drying and adhering to each component and affecting the use of the equipment.

[0023] 4. When the present invention is in use, the storage assembly can store the cleaning cylinder when it is not needed, thereby protecting the cleaning cylinder to prevent the cleaning cylinder from being damaged by foreign objects and to prevent debris from entering the cleaning cylinder.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the tool magazine parts cleaning device of the present invention includes a tool magazine 10, a tool 13, a cleaning cylinder 20, an opening and closing mechanism 30, a cleaning component 40, a lifting component 50, a driving component 60 and a storage component 70. The tool 13 is arranged in the tool magazine 10 and can be moved relative to the tool magazine 10. The storage component 70 is installed on the bottom side of the tool magazine 10. The cleaning cylinder 20 is arranged on the storage component 70 and can be stored by the storage component 70. The opening and closing mechanism 30 is located on the outside of the cleaning cylinder 20, and is used to open and close the cleaning cylinder 20 so that the tool head of the tool 13 enters the cleaning cylinder 20. The cleaning component 40, the lifting component 50 and the driving component 60 are all located inside the cleaning cylinder 20, and the lifting component 50 can be driven by the driving component 60 to operate, so as to drive the cleaning component 40 to rise and fall to clean the tool head of the tool 13.

[0035] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An annular conveyor belt 11 is arranged on the side wall of the tool magazine 10 , a plurality of holders 12 are arranged at equal intervals on the conveyor belt 11 , and the tools 13 are arranged in the holders 12 .

[0036] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cleaning cylinder 20 includes a lower cylinder 21, a middle cylinder 22 and an upper cylinder 23. The lower cylinder 21, the middle cylinder 22 and the upper cylinder 23 are coaxially arranged, and the lower cylinder 21 is connected to the upper cylinder 23 through the middle cylinder 22. The diameter of the middle cylinder 22 is larger than the diameters of the lower cylinder 21 and the upper cylinder 23, and the diameter of the middle cylinder 22 gradually decreases from the middle to the two ends, and the diameter of the upper cylinder 23 gradually decreases from bottom to top.

[0037] refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 The cleaning cylinder 20 is arranged on one side of the tool magazine 10 and can move up and down relative to the tool magazine 10. The bottom end of the lower cylinder 21 is threadedly connected with a cover 211 for closing the bottom end of the lower cylinder 21, so that a closed space is formed in the lower cylinder 21 to facilitate the storage of the cleaning liquid and the cleaning of the tool 13. The cleaning component 40, the lifting component 50 and the driving component 60 are all arranged on the cover 211. After the cover 211 is removed, the cleaning liquid can be discharged, and the cleaning component 40, the lifting component 50 and the driving component 60 can also be taken out of the cleaning cylinder 20 for cleaning and maintenance.

[0038] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4A support seat 221 is fixedly installed on the outside of the middle cylinder 22, a vertical plate 222 is fixedly installed on the top of the support seat 221, and a sliding hole 223 is opened inside the vertical plate 222. The upper cylinder 23 is composed of two half cylinders 231, which can be separated from each other under the action of the opening and closing mechanism 30, so that the tool 13 can enter the cleaning cylinder 20 to complete the cleaning. A guide rod 232 is fixed laterally on the side wall of the half cylinder 231, and the guide rod 232 is slidably assembled in the sliding hole 223. The guide rod 232 slides in the sliding hole 223, limiting the half cylinder 231 to only be able to perform lateral single-degree-of-freedom movement.

[0039] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 7 The opening and closing mechanism 30 includes a corrugated plate 31, a connecting plate 32 and a first spring 33. The connecting plate 32 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the semi-cylinder 231. The corrugated plate 31 is located above the semi-cylinder 231, and the corrugated plate 31 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 32. The first spring 33 is sleeved on the guide rod 232. The two ends of the first spring 33 are respectively fixed to the semi-cylinder 231 and the vertical plate 222. The tool 13 can push the corrugated plates 31 on the two semi-cylinders 231 during movement, so that the corrugated plates 31 bring the semi-cylinders 231 back and squeeze the first spring 33. When the cutter head of the tool 13 moves to the middle part of the two semi-cylinders 231, the tool 13 is separated from the corrugated plate 31, and the first spring 33 pushes the semi-cylinder 231 to reset and close the upper cylinder 23, and then the cutter head of the tool 13 can be cleaned. After the cleaning is completed, the tool 13 continues to move, and the semi-cylinder 231 can be separated again by contacting and pushing the corrugated plate 31 again, so that the cutter head is removed from the cleaning cylinder 20.

[0040] refer to Figure 4-Figure 6 The cleaning assembly 40 includes a mounting ring 41, a cleaning brush 42, a mounting shaft 43 and a second spring 44. The mounting ring 41 is coaxially arranged inside the cleaning cylinder 20 and can rotate and move up and down inside the cleaning cylinder 20. The mounting shaft 43 is transversely arranged in the mounting ring 41. There are multiple mounting shafts 43 and all of them can slide along the radial direction of the mounting ring 41. The outer end of the mounting shaft 43 (i.e., the end away from the mounting ring 41) is arranged close to the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 20. The cleaning brush 42 is arranged at the inner end of the mounting shaft 43 (i.e., the end located in the mounting ring 41), and the cleaning brush 42 can slide relative to the mounting shaft 43. The second spring 44 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting shaft 43 and is in a compressed state.

[0041] The second spring 44 applies a thrust to the mounting shaft 43, so that the outer end of the mounting shaft 43 is always in close contact with the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 20. When the mounting ring 41 moves in the cleaning cylinder 20, as the mounting ring 41 rises and moves from the lower cylinder 21 to the middle part of the middle cylinder 22, the mounting shaft 43 will slide in the mounting ring 41 as the diameter of the middle cylinder 22 increases, so that the multiple cleaning brushes 42 are dispersed to the surroundings and away from each other. Then, as the mounting ring 41 continues to rise, the mounting shaft 43 will slide in the mounting ring 41 as the diameters of the middle cylinder 22 and the upper cylinder 23 decrease, so that the multiple cleaning brushes 42 gradually gather toward the middle and approach each other, and finally cover and cling to the outside of the cutter head of the tool 13, so that the cleaning brush 42 cleans the cutter head of the tool 13 as the mounting ring 41 rises.

[0042] refer to Figure 4-Figure 6 A ring sleeve 411 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting ring 41 along its radial direction, the mounting shaft 43 is slidably assembled inside the ring sleeve 411, and a pad 431 is fixedly installed outside the mounting shaft 43. The two ends of the second spring 44 are respectively fixed to the ring sleeve 411 and the pad 431, and then the pad 431 is pushed by the second spring 44 to apply a thrust to the mounting shaft 43, so that the outer end of the mounting shaft 43 can be kept close to the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 20, so that the cleaning brush 42 can be dispersed and gathered as the diameter of the cleaning cylinder 20 changes.

[0043] In order to prevent the installation shaft 43 from pushing the half-cylinder 231 to move and separate, the stiffness coefficient of the first spring 33 is greater than the stiffness coefficient of the second spring 44, so that the thrust applied by the second spring 44 to the installation shaft 43 is insufficient to push the half-cylinder 231 to squeeze the first spring 33, thereby preventing the half-cylinder 231 from being pushed and separated by the installation shaft 43.

[0044] refer to Figure 6 An inner groove 432 is formed at the inner end of the mounting shaft 43, a transverse shaft 421 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the cleaning brush 42, and the transverse shaft 421 is slidably assembled in the inner groove 432, and a third spring 422 is arranged between the transverse shaft 421 and the inner groove 432, and the third spring 422 buffers the force of the transverse shaft 421, so as to prevent the mounting shaft 43 from pushing the cleaning brush 42 close to the cutter head of the tool 13, and thereby causing the cleaning brush 42 to be damaged due to excessive squeezing force, so that the cleaning brush 42 can be suitable for cutter heads of different models.

[0045] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The lifting assembly 50 includes a reciprocating screw 51, a slider 52 and a connecting rod 53. The reciprocating screw 51 is vertically fixed in the middle of the cover 211, and the reciprocating screw 51 is coaxially arranged with the mounting ring 41. The slider 52 is arranged on the reciprocating screw 51 and can slide along the threaded groove on the reciprocating screw 51. The connecting rod 53 is L-shaped, and the bottom end of the connecting rod 53 is fixedly mounted on the slider 52, and the top end of the connecting rod 53 is fixedly mounted on the mounting ring 41. The slider 52 rotates outside the reciprocating screw 51 so that the slider 52 slides and rises along the threaded groove on the reciprocating screw 51. In this process, the mounting ring 41 is driven by the connecting rod 53 to rotate and rise synchronously, and then the tool head of the tool 13 can be brushed by the cleaning brush 42.

[0046] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A cleaning table 511 is fixedly installed on the top of the reciprocating screw 51, and a scraper 512 is arranged on the side wall of the cleaning table 511. When the mounting ring 41 descends, the scraper 512 on the cleaning table 511 can scrape off the debris mixed in the cleaning brush 42, so that the debris is separated from the cleaning brush 42 and immersed in the cleaning liquid in the lower cylinder 21, and the cleaning of the cleaning brush 42 is completed, so that the cleaning brush 42 can better clean the next tool 13. A sliding sleeve 531 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 53, so that the driving component 60 can drive the slider 52 to rotate.

[0047] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The driving assembly 60 includes a motor 61, a driving gear 62, a driven gear 63 and a push rod 64. The driven gear 63 is rotatably assembled at the bottom end of the reciprocating screw 51. The push rod 64 is vertically fixed on the driven gear 63, and the push rod 64 is slidably assembled in the sliding sleeve 531. The driving gear 62 is rotatably connected in the cover 211 and meshes with the driven gear 63. The motor 61 is fixedly assembled at the bottom of the cover 211, and its output end is fixed to the driving gear 62, and then the motor 61 can drive the driving gear 62 to rotate. The driving gear 62 pushes the driven gear 63 to rotate around the reciprocating screw 51. The driven gear 63 drives the push rod 64 to move during the rotation, and then pushes the sleeve 531 to make the connecting rod 53 rotate with the slider 52 around the reciprocating screw 51, so that the slider 52 can be lifted and lowered along the threaded groove of the reciprocating screw 51 during the rotation. Since the sleeve 531 and the push rod 64 are in a sliding connection, the sleeve 531 can slide outside the push rod 64 as the slider 52 rises and falls, and will not affect the rise and fall of the slider 52.

[0048] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3The storage assembly 70 includes a storage box 71, a rotating shaft 72 and an electric telescopic rod 73. The storage box 71 is fixedly assembled on the bottom side of the tool magazine 10, and the rotating shaft 72 is rotatably assembled inside the storage box 71. The electric telescopic rod 73 is arranged on the rotating shaft 72, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 73 is fixedly connected to the support seat 221. The electric telescopic rod 73 drives the support seat 221 to rise and fall, so as to adjust the height of the cleaning cylinder 20. After the tool 13 is cleaned, the electric telescopic rod 73 can adjust the cleaning cylinder 20 to descend so that its bottom end enters the storage box 71, and then the rotating shaft 72 is rotated to transfer the electric telescopic rod 73 and the cleaning cylinder 20 into the storage box 71 to complete the storage.

[0049] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The end of the rotating shaft 72 is provided with a slot 721 along its axial direction, and a positioning cylinder 711 is fixedly installed on the outside of the storage box 71, and the positioning cylinder 711 is located at the end of the rotating shaft 72, and a positioning groove 712 connected to the slot 721 is provided inside the positioning cylinder 711, and a positioning shaft 713 is slidably assembled inside the positioning groove 712, and the end of the positioning shaft 713 is inserted into the slot 721, and the rotating shaft 72 is limited by inserting the positioning shaft 713 into the slot 721, so that the rotating shaft 72 cannot rotate at will, thereby ensuring the stability of the cleaning cylinder 20 when in use, and by pulling the positioning shaft 713 out of the slot 721, the rotating shaft 72 can be rotated to put the cleaning cylinder 20 into the storage box 71, and then the positioning shaft 713 is inserted into the slot 721 again, so that the cleaning cylinder 20 can be positioned in the storage box 71.

[0050] Working principle: Add cleaning liquid to the interior of the lower cylinder 21 to soak the cleaning brush 42, and the conveyor belt 11 on the tool magazine 10 drives the holder 12 and the tool 13 to move, so that the tool 13 pushes the corrugated plate 31 during the movement, so that the corrugated plate 31 moves with the half cylinder 231 and squeezes the first spring 33, and then separates the two half cylinders 231. When the tool head of the tool 13 moves to the middle part of the two half cylinders 231, the tool 13 is separated from the corrugated plate 31, and the first spring 33 pushes the half cylinder 231 to reset and close the upper cylinder 23. At the same time, the conveyor belt 11 stops rotating, so that the tool 13 stops moving.

[0051] The motor 61 drives the driving gear 62 to rotate, so that the driving gear 62 pushes the driven gear 63 to rotate around the reciprocating screw 51. The driven gear 63 drives the push rod 64 to move during the rotation, and then drives the sliding sleeve 531 to make the connecting rod 53 and the slider 52 rotate around the reciprocating screw 51, so that the slider 52 can rise along the thread groove of the reciprocating screw 51 during the rotation, and the connecting rod 53 drives the mounting ring 41 to rotate and rise synchronously. As the mounting ring 41 rises and approaches the middle part of the middle cylinder 22, the mounting ring 41 is installed. As the diameter of the middle cylinder 22 increases, the mounting shaft 43 will slide in the mounting ring 41, causing the multiple cleaning brushes 42 to disperse to the surroundings and move away from each other. Then, as the mounting ring 41 continues to rise away from the middle part of the middle cylinder 22, the mounting shaft 43 will slide in the mounting ring 41 as the diameters of the middle cylinder 22 and the upper cylinder 23 decrease, causing the multiple cleaning brushes 42 to gradually gather toward the middle and get close to each other, covering and clinging to the outside of the cutter head of the tool 13, and then the cleaning brush 42 cleans the cutter head during the rotation and lifting.

[0052] When the slider 52 moves to the top of the reciprocating screw 51, it will begin to descend and reset along the thread groove, so that the cleaning brush 42 will perform a secondary cleaning on the cutter head of the tool 13 during the descent. After the mounting ring 41 descends and returns to the lower cylinder 21, the conveyor belt 11 rotates again, so that the tool 13 moves to squeeze the corrugated plate 31, so that the two half cylinders 231 are separated again, so that the cutter head is moved out of the cleaning cylinder 20. After the cutter head of the next tool 13 enters the cleaning cylinder 20, the conveyor belt 11 stops rotating again, and then the above-mentioned cleaning operation is repeated. When the mounting ring 41 returns to the lower cylinder 21, the scraper 512 on the cleaning table 511 cleans the rotating and descending cleaning brush 42, so that the debris is separated from the cleaning brush 42 and immersed in the cleaning liquid in the lower cylinder 21.

[0053] After the tool 13 is cleaned, the cover 211 is removed to discharge the cleaning liquid, and the cleaning assembly 40, the lifting assembly 50 and the driving assembly 60 on the cover 211 are cleaned and maintained. Then, the electric telescopic rod 73 is adjusted to make the cleaning cylinder 20 descend into the storage box 71, and the positioning shaft 713 is pulled out from the slot 721. The rotating shaft 72 is rotated to make the electric telescopic rod 73 and the cleaning cylinder 20 rotate into the storage box 71, and the positioning shaft 713 is inserted into the slot 721 again to position the rotating shaft 72, and the storage of the cleaning cylinder 20 is completed.

[0054] In the present invention, the cleaning brush 42 is dispersed and gathered as the diameter of the cleaning cylinder 20 changes during the lifting process, so that the cleaning brush 42 can be dispersed first when approaching the tool 13, so that the distance between the cleaning brushes 42 is greater than the diameter of the tool head, and the cleaning brush 42 gathers toward the middle when moving to the outside of the tool head, close to the side wall of the tool head, and then better adapts to tool heads of different diameters. Because the cleaning brush 42 performs a rotating lifting movement under the action of the slider 52, the cleaning brush 42 brushes along the circumference of the tool head after being close to the tool head and gradually rises, so that the cleaning brush 42 cleans the tool head evenly and comprehensively, avoiding the occurrence of cleaning dead corners, and then improving the cleaning effect. There is no need to separate the tool magazine 10 from the machine tool and disassemble the tool 13, so that the tool 13 is automatically switched for cleaning in the tool magazine 10, and the normal use of other tools 13 will not be affected during the cleaning of the tool 13, so that the online cleaning of the tool 13 in the tool magazine 10 is realized;

[0055] The cleaning table 511 and the scraper 512 scrape the cleaning brush 42 as it descends, so that the debris adhering to the cleaning brush 42 can be effectively peeled off and immersed in the cleaning liquid, so as to ensure that the cleaning brush 42 can better clean the subsequent tool 13; by disassembling the cover 211, the cleaning component 40, the lifting component 50 and the driving component 60 can be taken out of the cleaning cylinder 20 to facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of each component, and to prevent the debris from drying and adhering to the components and affecting the use of the equipment; the storage component 70 can be used to store the cleaning cylinder 20 when it is not necessary to clean it, and then the cleaning cylinder 20 can be protected to prevent the cleaning cylinder 20 from being damaged by foreign objects and to prevent debris from entering the cleaning cylinder 20.

[0056] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is to be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention. A person skilled in the art may change, modify, replace and vary the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
