Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts processing, and more specifically, it is an ultrasonic cleaning device and a cleaning method for processing automobile radiator parts. Background Art

[0002] The radiator is a part of the automobile cooling system. It is composed of multiple parts, and the pipe fittings are an essential part of it. The radiator pipe fittings form the flow channel of the coolant, transporting the high-temperature coolant from the engine to the radiator for cooling, and then circulating back to the engine to maintain its normal working temperature and prevent overheating.

[0003] During the processing of radiator pipe fittings, various pollutants will adhere, such as metal debris generated during processing, lubricating oil and rust remover used during processing adhering to the inner wall, and oxide scales and welding slag particles generated by welding or high-temperature processing. These pollutants need to be cleaned to prevent subsequent impacts on the cooling system. Due to the characteristics of the pipe fittings, ultrasonic cleaning is mostly used. Ultrasonic cleaning generates cavitation effects in the cleaning liquid through high-frequency vibration, forming tiny bubbles that burst instantly, releasing strong shock waves to thoroughly peel off stubborn pollutants on the surface and in the complex inner cavity of the pipe fittings.

[0004] However, during the cleaning process of the ultrasonic cleaning machine, due to the action of bubbles, foam will be generated. The foam adheres to oil and other pollutants, which causes the foam to adhere to the surface of the pipe fittings again when the pipe fittings are taken out of the ultrasonic cleaning machine. This results in the need for the pipe fittings to undergo another clear water filtration, which undoubtedly increases the processing procedures and reduces the efficiency.

[0005] At present, for the treatment of foam, defoamers or separate filtration systems are used. For those treated with defoamers, the defoamers may remain on the surface of the workpiece, affecting subsequent processes. Moreover, using defoamers not only incurs additional costs but also generally contains chemical substances that are difficult to degrade, such as silicone and fluorides. After these substances are discharged into wastewater and waste gas, they may pollute water bodies and the air, causing harm to aquatic organisms and soil microorganisms. In addition, some defoamers may also release volatile organic compounds, affecting air quality and posing a potential threat to human health; while using a separate filtration system has a good effect on treating foam, but its equipment cost is high.

[0006] Therefore, we disclose an ultrasonic cleaning device for radiator pipe fittings that can effectively reduce the adhesion of foam to the surface of the workpiece, reduce the use of defoamers, reduce the risk of environmental pollution, and at the same time, no additional operation is required. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an ultrasonic cleaning device and its cleaning method for processing automotive radiator parts, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology. The collection component of the present invention can eliminate and attach foam. After the cleaning is completed, the collection component collects, filters and blocks the floating foam on the surface of the cleaning liquid again, ensuring that there is no attachment of foam on the surface of the radiator pipe fittings. And this operation does not require additional process operations, can reduce the use of defoamers, reduce the risk of environmental pollution, and improve the processing efficiency and quality.

A number of liquid guiding ports are correspondingly arranged on the side of the filter frame close to the liquid guiding groove; Inner embedding grooves are formed at the mutually remote end faces of the two installation grooves of the first floating plate and the second floating plate, and the back plate is embedded in the inner embedding grooves.

[0011] A further technical solution of the present application: The expansion and retraction mechanism includes a driving groove opened inside the bearing frame, a screw rod installed inside the driving groove, and a driven gear installed on the screw rod.

A rotating shaft is arranged inside the rotating seat, and one end of a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft; The other ends of the two connecting rods are respectively connected to the other ends of the adjacent connecting columns.

[0012] A further technical solution of the present application: An opening penetrating through is provided on the side of the driving groove away from the partition.

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 , in an embodiment of the present application, an ultrasonic cleaning device for processing automotive radiator parts includes a main body 1 and a cleaning pool 2 inside the main body 1. A plurality of ultrasonic generators 3 are arranged inside the cleaning pool 2, and a carrying frame 4 for carrying radiator pipe fittings is also arranged inside the cleaning pool 2; A partition 5 is installed at the central axis inside the carrying frame 4, and a collection component for collecting floating foam during the lifting process of the carrying frame 4 is arranged on the partition 5; The collection component includes a first floating plate 9 and a second floating plate 10 symmetrically installed on the partition 5, and a moving groove 33 opened on any same side of the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10. One end of the connecting column 8 slides inside the moving groove 33, and a folding mechanism 6 for driving the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 to move is also installed on the side of the carrying frame 4 close to the connecting column 8; A driving rack 20 is correspondingly arranged on one side of the cleaning pool 2 close to the folding mechanism 6, and the driving rack 20 drives the folding mechanism 6 to work during the movement of the carrying frame 4 inside the cleaning pool 2.

[0023] Furthermore, four connecting seats 16 are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the upper end of the partition 5, and both sides of the lower ends of the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 are respectively rotatably connected to their corresponding connecting seats 16; When the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 are erected, a number of liquid guide grooves 15 are provided on the mutually approaching sides. At one end of the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 close to the partition 5, a sieve filtering mechanism 12 is provided, and the end of the liquid guide groove 15 is communicated with the sieve filtering mechanism 12; On the mutually remote sides of the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10, one side of a guide plate 11 is connected. The other side of the guide plate 11 is an inclined surface from top to bottom, and the end of the inclined surface is outside the sieve filtering mechanism 12.

[0024] This embodiment is implemented as follows: During use, first, the radiator pipe fittings to be cleaned need to be placed inside the bearing frame 4. The radiator pipe fittings are separated on both sides of the partition 5. Cleaning liquid is injected into the cleaning pool 2, and the bearing frame 4 is placed inside the cleaning pool 2. During the process of placing the bearing frame 4, the driving rack 20 drives the expansion and contraction mechanism 6 to work, and the expansion and contraction mechanism 6 drives the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 to work, so as to block the upper end of the bearing frame 4. When the bearing frame 4 completely enters the cleaning pool 2, the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 are in the same horizontal state, and at this time, the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 should be below the liquid level of the cleaning liquid. At this time, the ultrasonic generator 3 works to clean the pipe fittings. The floating foam generated during the cleaning process will be guided by the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 and flow to the sieve filtering mechanism 12, where it is filtered once by the sieve filtering mechanism 12 to reduce the generation of floating foam, and the generated floating foam will float on the liquid surface through the sieve filtering mechanism 12; After the cleaning is completed, the bearing frame 4 is taken out of the cleaning pool 2. During the process of taking out, the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 will slowly erect as the height increases. During the erection process, the floating foam on the surface will be collected for the second time. Due to the lifting angle of the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10, the collected floating foam flows into the sieve filtering mechanism 12 for secondary filtering. The cleaning liquid brought out by the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 flows back into the cleaning pool 2. In this way, the situation of floating foam adhering to the surface of the radiator pipe fittings is greatly reduced, the use of defoaming agents is effectively reduced, the environmental pollution risk is reduced, and this operation does not require additional process operations, improving the processing efficiency and quality.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the sieve filtering mechanism 12 includes mounting grooves 14 opened at one end of the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 close to the partition 5, a filter frame 32, and a back plate 23 mounted on one side of the filter frame 32. A number of filter holes 22 are opened on the back plate 23; The filter frame 32 is integrally inserted into the interior of the installation groove 14, and the liquid guide groove 15 communicates with the installation groove 14. A number of liquid guide ports 21 are correspondingly arranged on one side of the filter frame 32 close to the liquid guide groove 15; Inner embedding grooves 31 are formed on the end faces of the two installation grooves 14 of the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 that are away from each other, and the back plate 23 is embedded in the inner embedding grooves 31.

[0026] This embodiment is implemented as follows: The screening mechanism 12 is a filter frame 32. The filter frame 32 cooperates with the back plate 23 and a number of filter holes 22 opened on the back plate 23 to achieve the filtering effect. When the screening mechanism 12 is below the liquid level of the cleaning liquid, the first floating plate 9, the second floating plate 10, and the guiding plates 11 installed on both sides thereof will divert the generated floating foam to the filter plate, and perform a primary filtration through a number of filter holes 22 on the filter plate. The floating foam still generated after filtration will flow to the liquid level surface; When the carrier frame 4 is taken out after the cleaning is completed, the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 will slowly lift. During the lifting process, the cleaning liquid above the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 will naturally be lifted. At this time, the liquid guide groove 15 will guide the cleaning liquid and the floating foam, and flow into the filter plate and the filter frame 32 again, and perform a secondary filtration on the filter plate through the liquid guide ports 21.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the expansion and contraction mechanism 6 includes a driving groove 30 opened inside the carrier frame 4, a screw rod installed inside the driving groove 30, and a driven gear 29 installed on the screw rod. The screw rod is composed of a first screw rod 19 and a second screw rod 24 with the same length spliced together, and the outer thread directions of the first screw rod 19 and the second screw rod 24 are opposite. The driven gear 29 is installed outside the splicing part of the first screw rod 19 and the second screw rod 24. Threaded sleeves 25 are threadedly connected to the outside of both the first screw rod 19 and the second screw rod 24. Rotating seats 26 are installed on the threaded sleeves 25. A rotating shaft 28 is arranged inside the rotating seat 26, and one end of a connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 28; The other ends of the two connecting rods 7 are respectively connected to the other ends of the adjacent connecting columns 8.

[0028] Further, a through opening 17 is provided on the side of the driving groove 30 away from the partition 5. A driving gear 18 is rotatably installed inside the opening 17, and both sides of the driving gear 18 extend to the outside of the opening 17 and are respectively meshed with the driven gear 29 and the rack.

[0029] Further, limiting grooves are symmetrically opened on both sides inside the driving groove 30. Limiting blocks 27 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of a single threaded sleeve 25, and the limiting blocks 27 are slidably connected inside the limiting grooves.

[0030] This embodiment is implemented as follows: The retracting and extending mechanism 6 is installed on one side of the carrying frame 4. When the carrying frame 4 moves up and down inside the cleaning tank 2, the driving gear 18 is engaged with the driving rack 20 to achieve rotation. When driving the driving gear 18, the driven gear 29 will be driven to rotate. In this way, the driven gear 29 drives the first screw rod 19 and the second screw rod 24 to rotate. Since the lengths of the two screw rods are the same and the outer thread directions are opposite, the screw sleeves 25 connected to the outside of each are driven to rotate. Since the outside of the screw sleeve 25 is fitted with a limiting block 27, and the limiting block 27 slides inside the limiting groove, displacements of the two screw sleeves 25 in opposite directions are achieved. During the displacement process, the rotating seats 26 connected to each are driven to displace. During the displacement of the rotating seat 26, the connecting rods 7 connected to each are driven to displace. The connecting rod 7 will rotate outside the rotating shaft 28 inside the limiting seat, and at the same time, the end of the connecting rod 7 slides inside the moving groove 33. During the sliding process, the floating plates connected to each are hooked to rotate. The floating plates will rotate between the connecting seats 16 above the partition 5. In this way, the horizontal laying down and vertical erection movements of the two floating plates are achieved. This process is realized following the lowering and lifting of the carrying frame 4 without additional operations. It should be noted that during the lowering or lifting of the carrying frame 4, the driving gear 18 needs to be in full contact with the driving rack 20. For this, the length of the carrying frame 4 needs to be approximately the same as the internal length of the cleaning tank 2.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 . Through grooves 13 are provided in a penetrating manner on the partition 5, the circumferential surface of the carrying frame 4, and the bottom surface of the carrying frame 4.

[0032] Furthermore, the depth of the cleaning tank 2 is greater than the height of the carrying frame 4.

[0033] Furthermore, the width of the first floating plate 9 is less than the distance between the partition 5 and the carrying frame 4. The width of the second floating plate 10 is the same as the width of the first floating plate 9, and when the carrying frame 4 completely falls into the cleaning tank 2, the collection assembly is below the liquid level of the cleaning liquid.

[0034] It should be noted that through slots 13 are provided in the partition 5, the toroidal surface of the bearing frame 4, and the bottom surface of the bearing frame 4. The function of the through slots 13 is to allow the cleaning liquid to completely enter the interior of the bearing frame 4 to keep the liquid level inside the bearing frame 4 the same. The depth of the cleaning tank 2 is greater than the height of the bearing frame 4 so that the bearing frame 4 can completely fall into the cleaning tank 2. At the same time, to ensure that the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 are fully unfolded, it is necessary to ensure that the widths of the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 are not greater than the distance between the partition 5 and the bearing frame 4. Moreover, when the bearing frame 4 completely falls into the cleaning tank 2, the collecting assembly should be below the liquid level of the cleaning liquid to ensure that during the lifting process of the collecting assembly, the floating foam can be lifted and collected.

[0035] A cleaning method for an ultrasonic cleaning device used in the processing of automotive radiator parts, the cleaning method specifically includes the following steps: Step 1: Place the radiator pipe fittings to be cleaned into the interior of the bearing frame 4. The radiator pipe fittings are separated on both sides of the partition 5. Inject the cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 2 and place the bearing frame 4 into the cleaning tank 2. During the process of placing the bearing frame 4, the driving rack 20 drives the retracting and extending mechanism 6 to work. The retracting and extending mechanism 6 drives the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 to work, achieving the shielding of the upper end of the bearing frame 4. When the bearing frame 4 completely enters the cleaning tank 2, the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 are in the same horizontal state, and at this time, the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 are below the liquid level of the cleaning liquid. Step 2: The ultrasonic generator 3 works to clean the pipe fittings. The floating foam generated during the cleaning process will be guided by the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 and flow to the screening mechanism 12 for primary filtration, and the generated floating foam will float on the liquid surface through the screening mechanism 12. Step 3: After the cleaning is completed, the pipe fittings and the bearing frame 4 need to be taken out of the cleaning tank 2. During the taking-out process, the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 will slowly erect as the height increases. During the erection process, the floating foam on the surface will be collected for the second time. The collected floating foam will be guided by the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 and finally flow to the screening mechanism 12 for secondary filtration. At the same time, the cleaning liquid brought out by the first floating plate 9 and the second floating plate 10 will flow back into the cleaning tank 2.

[0036] In summary, the present invention provides a carrier frame, a cleaning tank and a collection assembly. The carrier frame stores the radiator pipe fittings to be cleaned. The carrier frame falls into the cleaning tank for ultrasonic cleaning. After the carrier frame falls into the cleaning tank, the collection assembly is below the liquid level of the cleaning liquid, and the collection assembly guides and filters the generated foam, thereby eliminating and attaching the foam. After the cleaning is completed, during the process of taking out the carrier frame, the collection assembly collects, filters and blocks the foam floating on the surface of the cleaning liquid again, ensuring that there is no foam attachment on the surface of the radiator pipe fittings, effectively reducing the use of defoaming agents, reducing the risk of environmental pollution, and this operation does not require additional process operations, improving the processing efficiency and quality, and this operation does not require additional process operations, improving the processing efficiency and quality.
