Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical processing, in particular to a tool handle cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] The performance and condition of the tool handle have an important impact on the accuracy of the CNC machining center. If the tool handle is not clean, the tool processing is unstable, the processed product will be directly scrapped, and in serious cases it will even affect the equipment. During the storage or use of the tool, it is very common for the tool handle to be rusted and contaminated due to improper storage and use. In the prior art, the cleaning of the tool handle is generally done by wiping it with a cleaning cloth, and the rusted tool is removed with a rust remover. If there is a lot of rust, it will take up a lot of manpower and working hours, and the labor intensity is high and the cleaning efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a knife handle cleaning device to solve the technical defects of the prior art, which adopts the manual wiping knife cleaning method, seriously occupies manpower and working hours, has high labor intensity and low cleaning efficiency.

[0004] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A knife handle cleaning device comprises a bracket, a frame, a motor, a small pulley, a belt, a large pulley, a bearing, a brush head bin, a brush head, and an end key, wherein the bracket is fixedly connected to the frame, the frame is fixedly connected to the motor, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the small pulley, the frame is fixedly connected to the bearing, the brush head bin is rotatably connected to the bearing, the brush head bin is fixedly connected to the large pulley, a belt is wrapped around the outside of the large pulley and the small pulley, the brush head is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the brush head bin, a port is provided at the upper end of the brush head bin, a through hole is provided on the bracket, the through hole is located above the port, and a plurality of end keys are provided at the edge of the through hole.

[0005] Preferably, it also includes a pressure cover, which is buckled and fixed on the bottom end of the bearing.

[0006] Preferably, it also includes a cleaned tool, which extends into the brush head bin through the through hole and the port and contacts the brush head, and the cleaned tool is fixed to the end key.

[0007] Preferably, chip removal holes are provided at the bottom of the brush head bin and on the large pulley.

[0008] Preferably, the brush head is made of nylon.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the main body adopts a welded frame, and the required holes are processed to install the bearings and motors of the fixed brush head bin. Two bearings are used to fix the brush head bin, and then the pulley is installed under the brush head bin. There are large holes between the brush head bin and the pulley, which can timely discharge foreign matter and dirt under cleaning. The brush head is specially made according to the shape of the knife handle and is made of nylon. It can effectively brush the surface of the knife handle without damaging the knife handle. The brush head bin rotates with the pulley through the belt drive, and the brush head rotates with the brush head bin. Since the end key of the knife handle does not rotate, relative motion is generated to clean the knife handle.

[0010] Based on the above structure, various knife handles can be cleaned by replacing the brush head; the hollow structure is adopted, so the cleaned dirt can fall smoothly and be easily collected; the belt drive is adopted, and safety can be ensured in an emergency due to the slippage of the belt.

[0011] The present invention provides a tool handle cleaning device. The device is designed to solve the cleaning problem of contaminated and rusted tool handles of machining centers. When in use, the tool to be cleaned is placed in the brush head bin, and the start button is pressed. The motor rotates and drives the brush head bin to rotate through the belt. The brush head bin rotates with the brush head. Since the tool is locked by a key, the surface of the tool handle is cleaned. The present invention can also be equipped with safety protection doors, emergency stop buttons and other safety protection devices; when an accident occurs, the belt can slip and disconnect the power transmission, which is safe and efficient. The present invention can effectively clean tool handles of multiple models efficiently and safely.

[0012] The invention has a compact structure and can be placed in a tool library or on-site. It can clean various tool handles and has a wide range of uses. Operators can use it quickly after simple training. It is safe and efficient, and reduces the labor intensity of relevant personnel in cleaning tools. The device has a beautiful appearance, and the protective cover can be easily disassembled for maintenance or repair of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
