Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of casting cleaning equipment, and discloses an automatic casting cleaning device. BACKGROUND

[0002] A casting is a metal part or product formed by a casting process, which is widely used in the fields of automobiles, aerospace, household and machinery manufacturing, etc. The manufacturing process of the casting includes pouring molten metal such as iron, steel, aluminum, etc. into a pre-prepared casting mold, cooling, and then performing shakeout, cleaning and post-processing to finally obtain a casting with a certain shape, size and performance. The newly produced casting needs to be cleaned by a cleaning device to remove stains on the surface of the casting for subsequent storage, transportation and processing.

[0003] A Chinese patent with the patent number CN 106623871A discloses a casting cleaning device, which comprises a cleaning tank, a leakage tank and a heating device. The leakage tank is arranged in the cleaning tank, and the heating device is arranged below the cleaning tank. The leakage tank comprises a tank body and a cover body. The cover body and the tank body are matched with each other. The bottom surface of the tank body is provided with a plurality of mesh holes. The lower part of the cleaning tank is wound with a coil. The bottom surface of the leakage tank is further provided with a magnet. A gas guide hole is arranged on one side wall of the leakage tank. The casting cleaning device can further clean the impurities on the corners and gaps of the casting, and greatly improves the quality of the casting cleaning. However, the above-mentioned cleaning device needs workers to manually or use additional mechanical equipment to put the casting into the leakage tank and take it out from the leakage tank before and after the casting is cleaned. This is not conducive to saving labor and mechanical equipment costs, and affects the automation degree of the cleaning device, and further affects the efficiency of the casting cleaning. In addition, the above-mentioned cleaning device is not convenient to move, which is not conducive to the cleaning and maintenance of the cleaning device itself. Moreover, the above-mentioned cleaning device adjusts the vertical height of the leakage tank and the casting by adjusting the size of the current passing through the coil. The strength of the current is related to the weight of the casting. When the casting is heavy, stronger current needs to be passed through the coil in order to make the casting separate from the cleaning liquid smoothly. This can easily cause the coil to be overloaded, affecting the stability of the vertical height adjustment of the leakage tank and the casting and the safety of the operation of the cleaning device.

[0039] The automatic casting cleaning device disclosed by the embodiment is used in the following manner. The valve 112 is closed, and sufficient water is injected into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 11, so that the liquid level of the water is lower than the water return hole 113. The controller 4 is used to start the ultrasonic cleaning tank 11, and ultrasonic waves of a certain frequency are emitted into the water in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 11, so that the water vibrates at a certain frequency. The controller 4 is used to simultaneously start the two motors 16, so that the motors 16 drive the two threaded rods 14 to rotate, and the rotation of the threaded rods 14 drives the porous support plate 13 to move upwards. When the upper plane of the porous support plate 13 is in the same plane as the side wall of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 11, the motors 16 are closed.

The electric conveying belt 21 is closed, and the controller 4 is used to control the second telescopic rod 37 to extend and retract, so that the sliding block 34 slides on the sliding rail 33. The positions of the sliding block 34, the first telescopic rod 35 and the push plate 36 are adjusted. The vertical positions of the first telescopic rod 35 and the push plate 36 are adjusted to be between the two adjacent castings on the electric conveying belt 21. The second telescopic rod 37 is closed.

After the push plate 36 is in contact with the casting, the second telescopic rod 37 is controlled to continue to extend, so that the push plate 36 pushes the casting from the electric conveying belt 21 to the transition plate 18. Then the casting is pushed to the porous support plate 13 through the upper side of the transition plate 18. Then the first telescopic rod 35 and the second telescopic rod 37 are controlled to retract and reset. The controller 4 is used to start the electric conveying belt 21, so that another casting is conveyed to one side of the transition plate 18. After that, the controller 4 is used to control the motor 16 to reverse, so that the porous support plate 13 slowly sinks into the water in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 11 together with the casting, until the water completely covers the casting. The motor 16 is closed, so that the vibrating water cleans the surface of the casting. After the cleaning is completed, the motor 16 is started again, so that the porous support plate 13 is lifted from the water together with the casting, until the upper plane of the porous support plate 13 is in the same plane as the side wall of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 11. Then the second telescopic rod 37 of the other pushing mechanism 3 is controlled to extend, so that the first telescopic rod 35 and the push plate 36 are pushed. When the vertical projection of the push plate 36 is located on one side of the casting, the second telescopic rod 37 is closed. The first telescopic rod 35 is controlled to extend, so that the push plate 36 is pushed to one side of the casting. After that, the first telescopic rod 35 is closed. The second telescopic rod 37 is controlled to retract, so that the casting is pulled from the porous support plate 13 to the draining plate 121 to drain water. After a period of time, the casting drained of water is pulled from the draining plate 121 to another electric conveying belt 21. After the casting is conveyed a certain distance away from the draining plate 121 through the other electric conveying belt 21, the electric conveying belt 21 is closed. The casting is cleaned.The operation of the first telescopic rod 35, the second telescopic rod 37, the motorized conveying belt 21 and the motor 16 in the controller 4 is programmed according to the above steps to form a control group, and the remaining castings to be cleaned are placed on the motorized conveying belt 21, and the control group is selected in the controller 4 to clean the remaining castings.

[0040] Since the driving mechanisms of the first telescopic rod 35, the second telescopic rod 37 and the motorized conveying belt 21 are all conventional technologies in the art, the driving mechanisms of the above components are not shown in the figure, only to mark the installation positions of the first telescopic rod 35, the second telescopic rod 37 and the motorized conveying belt 21.
