Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of machining debris cleaning, in particular to a chip cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of machine tool automation, the surfaces of machine-processed rough parts are often clogged with cutting fluid, oil, and metal debris. These debris adhere to the parts and are difficult to fall off naturally due to the influence of the cutting fluid and oil. Cleaning the rough parts after machining is essential to ensure that the next process is debris-free, to reduce the contamination of the work environment caused by debris falling from the parts during subsequent operations, or to reduce damage to other equipment caused by debris falling into other parts.

[0003] There are several common ways to clean debris from the surface of parts: centrifugal cleaning, air blowing cleaning (automatic and manual), brush sweeping, liquid immersion, etc. The centrifugal cleaning method has good cleaning effect and is highly environmentally friendly, but it requires more workshop space, has average production efficiency, is relatively expensive, and is limited by the shape of the parts (mainly suitable for parts with regular shapes). The brush sweeping method has the disadvantages of slow speed and the possibility of the brush scratching the surface of the part. The liquid immersion method needs to consider issues such as air drying after liquid immersion and replacement of the immersion liquid. The air blowing cleaning method uses compressed air to blow away debris on the surface of the part. This method is simple and efficient, can directly use factory gas, and is more suitable for most automated production lines.

[0004] However, for the air blowing cleaning method, the blown debris may be scattered in the air, causing pollution to the workshop environment. In addition, air blowing cleaning can currently only clean the surface of parts or some shallow groove structures. For hollow and long parts, it is impossible to reach the inside of the parts for cleaning, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0051] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0052] As mentioned in the background technology, in the field of machine tool automation, the surfaces of raw parts processed by machine tools are often adhered to substances such as cutting fluid, oil, and metal debris. Due to the influence of cutting fluid and oil, the debris adheres to the parts and is not easy to fall off naturally. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the parts of debris. Existing debris cleaning methods generally include the following: centrifugal cleaning, air blowing cleaning (automatic and manual), brush sweeping, and liquid immersion. The centrifugal cleaning method has good cleaning effect and is highly environmentally friendly, but it requires a lot of workshop space, has average production efficiency, is relatively high in price, and is limited by the shape of the parts (mainly suitable for parts with regular shapes). The brush sweeping method has the disadvantages of slow speed and the brush may scratch the surface of the part. The liquid immersion method needs to consider issues such as air drying after liquid immersion and replacement of the immersion liquid. The air blowing cleaning method uses compressed air to blow debris off the surface of the part. This method is simple and efficient, can directly use factory air, and is more suitable for most automated production lines. However, the blown debris may be scattered in the air, causing pollution to the workshop environment, which needs to be considered. The manual air gun blowing cleaning method can completely clean the debris, but the efficiency is low, and the debris scattered in the air will not only pollute the environment but also cause harm to the human body. Therefore, in response to the above technical problems, the chip cleaning device provided by the present application includes a box body 100, a clamping device 200 and a blowing device 300 are arranged in the box body 100, the clamping device 200 is used to clamp the target workpiece 900, the blowing device 300 includes a first blowing component 310 and a second blowing component 320, the first blowing component 310 is arranged in an annular shape, and is used to blow the outer peripheral surface of the target workpiece, the second blowing component 320 is located at the top of the box body 100, so as to blow the cavity of the target workpiece, and a chip collecting device 400 is provided at the bottom of the box body 100 for collecting the debris blown off by the blowing device 300, and the position of the chip collecting device 400 is movably arranged for taking the chip collecting device 400 out of the box body 100. This arrangement allows for the targeted workpiece to be purged within the housing 100, creating a closed cleaning environment within the housing 100. This prevents aluminum chips and dust from being dispersed into the workshop air during traditional air cleaning, effectively reducing pollution to the work environment and improving workshop cleanliness. Furthermore, it reduces the risk to worker health posed by aluminum chips and dust, thereby improving operational safety.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 to 23The present application provides a chip cleaning device, including: a box body 100; a clamping device 200, which is detachably arranged in the box body 100 and is used to clamp a target workpiece, and the target workpiece has a cavity inside; a blowing device 300, which is movably arranged in the box body 100, and the blowing device 300 includes a first blowing component 310 and a second blowing component 320, the first blowing component 310 is arranged in a ring shape, and is used to blow the outer peripheral surface of the target workpiece, and the second blowing component 320 is located at the top of the box body 100 to blow the cavity of the target workpiece; a chip collecting device 400, which is arranged at the bottom of the box body 100 and is used to collect debris, and the position of the chip collecting device 400 is movably set to be used to remove the chip collecting device 400 from the box body 100.

[0054] According to the chip cleaning device provided in the present application, it includes a box body 100, a clamping device 200, a blowing device 300 and a chip collecting device 400. The clamping device 200 is detachably arranged in the box body 100 for clamping the target workpiece, and the target workpiece has a cavity inside; the blowing device 300 is movably arranged in the box body 100, and the blowing device 300 includes a first blowing component 310 and a second blowing component 320. The first blowing component 310 is arranged in a ring shape for blowing the outer peripheral surface of the target workpiece, and the second blowing component 320 is located at the top of the box body 100 to blow the cavity of the target workpiece; the chip collecting device 400 is arranged at the bottom of the box body 100 for collecting debris. The position of the chip collecting device 400 is movably set so as to be used to remove the chip collecting device 400 from the box body 100.

[0055] By creating a closed cleaning environment within the housing 100, aluminum chips and dust are prevented from being dispersed into the workshop air during traditional air-blowing cleaning, effectively reducing pollution to the work environment and improving the cleanliness of the workshop. Furthermore, the risks posed by aluminum chips and dust to the health of workers are reduced, thereby improving operational safety.

[0056] The clamping device 200 ensures the stable positioning of the target workpiece during the cleaning process. The annular first blowing assembly 310 can fully cover the outer periphery of the target workpiece, while the top second blowing assembly 320 blows deep into the cavity of the part. This comprehensive cleaning method ensures that aluminum chips are completely removed from both the surface and the interior of the part, improving cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0057] The chip collecting device 400 is located at the bottom of the box body 100 and is designed to be movable so that the cleaned debris can be collected in a centralized manner, avoiding the problem of debris being scattered everywhere and difficult to clean. At the same time, the movable design facilitates regular maintenance and cleaning of the chip collecting device.

[0058] Specifically, if Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the first blowing assembly 310 includes: a first support frame 311, which is movably arranged in the box body 100 along the vertical direction, and the first support frame 311 is arranged around the clamping device 200; a first blowing component 312, which is arranged on the first support frame 311, and there are multiple first blowing components 312, and the multiple first blowing components 312 are arranged at circumferential intervals along the first support frame 311 to blow the outer peripheral surface of the target workpiece through the multiple first blowing components 312.

[0059] The vertical mobility of the first support frame 311 allows precise adjustment to the optimal blowing height for the target workpiece, ensuring that the airflow effectively covers the entire perimeter of the workpiece while avoiding unnecessary energy waste. This dynamic height adjustment capability also allows the system to adapt to the cleaning needs of workpieces of varying sizes, enhancing its flexibility and compatibility.

[0060] Multiple first blowing components 312 are spaced circumferentially along the first support frame 311 to ensure that the outer surface of the target workpiece is thoroughly and evenly cleaned. This design not only improves cleaning efficiency but also reduces the possibility of residual aluminum chips due to insufficient cleaning in a certain area, thereby improving the overall cleaning quality.

[0061] In a specific implementation, the angle of the first blowing component 312 is set to be adjustable, wherein a hinge shaft is provided between the first blowing component 312 and the first support frame 311, and a pushing cylinder is provided on the first support frame 311. The telescopic rod of the pushing cylinder is connected to the first blowing component 312, and the first blowing component 312 is driven to rotate around the hinge shaft by the extension and contraction of the telescopic rod, thereby adjusting the blowing angle of the first blowing component 312.

[0062] The multi-point distribution of the first blowing component 312, combined with its adjustable angle and pressure, can optimize the aerodynamic layout, make the air flow more concentrated and powerful, help form an efficient cleaning path, reduce air flow rebound and loss, and improve the utilization efficiency of the air flow.

[0063] Each first air blowing component 312 includes: a first air nozzle 3120; a second air nozzle 3121, which is arranged above the first air nozzle 3120. The first air nozzle 3120 and the second air nozzle 3121 are respectively arranged toward the clamping device 200 to blow the outer peripheral surface of the target workpiece.

[0064] The arrangement of the first air nozzle 3120 and the second air nozzle 3121 allows for simultaneous cleaning of the workpiece's outer surface from different angles and heights. The first air nozzle 3120 directly impacts the workpiece surface, while the second air nozzle 3121, positioned above the first air nozzle, further removes aluminum chips that may have been lost in depressions or cracks on the workpiece surface. This dual cleaning mechanism ensures a thorough cleaning of the workpiece surface.

[0065] By placing the second air nozzle 3121 above the first air nozzle 3120, not only does it increase the cleaning coverage, but it also creates a superimposed blowing effect. After the first air nozzle 3120 has finished blowing, the second air nozzle 3121 can further strengthen the blowing force, especially on complex workpiece structures, helping to accelerate the removal of aluminum chips, reducing cleaning time and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0066] Specifically, in the first embodiment provided in the present application, each first blowing component 312 also includes a first fixed plate 313, the first air nozzle 3120 and the second air nozzle 3121 are respectively arranged on the first fixed plate 313, and the first fixed plate 313 is provided with a first adjustment hole 3130. The first adjustment hole 3130 is a strip-shaped hole, which is connected to the first support frame 311 after passing through the first adjustment hole 3130 by an adjusting screw, so that the first fixed plate 313 is installed on the first support frame 311, and the relative position between the first fixed plate 313 and the first support frame 311 can be adjusted through the first adjustment hole 3130.

[0067] In the second embodiment provided in the present application, the first fixed plate 313 is connected to the first support frame 311 by a hinge shaft, and the telescopic rod of the push cylinder is connected to the first fixed plate 313. By pushing the first fixed plate 313 to rotate around the hinge shaft, the blowing angles of the first air nozzle 3120 and the second air nozzle 3121 can be adjusted. The blowing angles of the first air nozzle 3120 and the second air nozzle 3121 can be dynamically adjusted according to the shape of the target workpiece and the cleaning requirements. This angle adjustability can ensure that the airflow is more accurately aimed at specific areas of the workpiece, improving the pertinence and effectiveness of cleaning. In particular, for workpieces with complex curved surfaces or special angles, by adjusting the blowing angle, more comprehensive and deeper cleaning can be achieved, enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0068] Among them, a mounting block 315 is also provided on the first fixed plate 313, and an air path is provided inside the mounting block 315. The first air nozzle 3120 is provided on the side wall of the mounting block, and the second air nozzle 3121 is provided on the top surface of the mounting block, and the first air nozzle 3120 and the second air nozzle 3121 are respectively connected to the air path, and the first air nozzle 3120 is a first block structure, and a plurality of first blowing holes are provided at the front end of the first block structure. The second air nozzle 3121 is a second block structure, and a plurality of second blowing holes are provided on the side wall of the second block structure. In addition, the mounting block is connected with a plurality of first air nozzles 3120 and a plurality of second air nozzles 3121, and the outer peripheral surface of the target workpiece is cleaned simultaneously by the plurality of first air nozzles 3120 and the plurality of second air nozzles 3121 to improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0069] The multi-point distribution of the first and second air nozzles 3120 and 3121 allows for comprehensive cleaning of the target workpiece's outer surface. Multiple primary air holes are located at the front of the first air nozzle, while multiple secondary air holes are located on the sidewalls of the second air nozzle. This layout creates a dense airflow network, improving cleaning coverage and efficiency, ensuring thorough removal of impurities such as aluminum chips and oil stains from the workpiece's surface.

[0070] Furthermore, an air pipe connector 316 is provided on the mounting block 315. The interior of the first support frame 311 is a hollow structure. A pipe hole 314 is provided on the first support frame 311. After the air pipe passes through the hollow structure, it passes through the pipe hole 314 and connects with the air pipe connector 316 to provide an air source to the first air nozzle 3120 and the second air nozzle 3121.

[0071] The hollow interior of the first support frame 311 serves as a passage for the trachea. The design of the tube holes 314 allows for a simple and orderly arrangement of the trachea, reducing interference and wear between the trachea and simplifying maintenance. The provision of the trachea connector 316 facilitates the connection and replacement of the trachea, improving the maintainability and ease of use of the device.

[0072] like Figure 13 As shown, the second blowing component 320 includes: a telescopic component 321, which is arranged on the top of the box body 100, and the telescopic component 321 is telescopically arranged along the vertical direction; a second blowing component 322, which is connected to the telescopic component 321, and the second blowing component 322 is driven to move by the telescopic component 321, so that the second blowing component 322 extends into the cavity of the target workpiece for blowing.

[0073] The telescopic function of telescopic member 321 enables second blowing member 322 to penetrate deep into the cavity of the target workpiece, a depth difficult to achieve with traditional cleaning methods. This design is particularly effective for deep-cavity profile parts, effectively removing aluminum chips from the cavity and improving the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the cleaning process.

[0074] The vertically scalable design of the telescopic member 321 allows the cleaning device to adapt to target workpieces in cavities of varying depths, improving the device's adaptability to a wide range of parts. Whether shallow or deep, effective cleaning can be achieved by adjusting the extension length of the telescopic member, enhancing the device's versatility and flexibility.

[0075] In the present application, the angle of the second blowing component 322 is adjustable. Specifically, the second blowing component 322 is a blowing pipe, and an adjustment joint is provided at the end of the blowing pipe. The blowing pipe is driven to move by rotating the adjustment joint to adjust the air outlet angle of the blowing pipe.

[0076] In another embodiment provided herein, the clamping device 200 is compatible with the flipping placement of the target workpiece 900. After the first end of the cavity of the target workpiece 900 is purged, the target workpiece 900 is flipped 180 degrees using a manipulator or other device, and the second end of the cavity can be purged. Blowing air in two directions can achieve a more thorough cleaning effect on the part's internal cavity. Specifically, during the flipping process of the target workpiece 900, the first support frame 311 moves above the clamping device 200 to avoid interference with the target workpiece 900.

[0077] By deeply cleaning the aluminum chips in the part cavity through the second blowing assembly 320, problems caused by residual aluminum chips in the inner cavity during the subsequent processing or assembly of the part can be reduced or eliminated, such as reduced part fit, equipment wear or failure, etc., thereby ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent processes and product quality.

[0078] The second blowing assembly 320 further includes a second fixed plate 323, the telescopic component 321 is connected to the second fixed plate 323, and the second blowing component 322 is disposed on the second fixed plate 323. There are multiple second blowing components 322, and the multiple second blowing components 322 are spaced apart. When the target workpiece has multiple cavities, the number of the second blowing components 322 can be adjusted to meet the requirements of blowing multiple cavities simultaneously. At the same time, the arrangement of each second blowing component 322 can also be adjusted accordingly according to the arrangement of the multiple cavities in the target workpiece.

[0079] Specifically, the arrangement of the second blowing components 322 is adjusted according to the features of the parts, such as the air nozzles of the middle beam and the front beam are arranged in a line, such as Figure 16 Or they can be arranged in a triangular track to match the tail boom parts, such as Figure 3 and Figure 15 When the cylinder is extended, the air nozzle can extend a distance into the part cavity to clean it. If a cavity is partially obstructed by a structure, the nozzle cannot fully penetrate the cavity, so aluminum chips can still be removed. When not in use, the cylinder retracts, and the nozzle is above the part, without affecting the fixture's handling of the part.

[0080] Specifically, the second blowing component 322 is a blowing pipe, and the length of the blowing pipe can be selected according to the model of the target workpiece.

[0081] Furthermore, the first air blowing component 312 can be used as an air knife, distributing compressed air in a flat pattern around the part, effectively removing aluminum chips. The drag chain mounting plate connects to the drag chain, allowing the air pipe of the lifting air blowing device to be routed through the drag chain, rising and falling with the device. Furthermore, the lifting air blowing device is designed to route the air pipe and other wiring inside the welding frame, achieving hidden wiring, avoiding entanglement and maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0082] In the present application, the chip cleaning device also includes: a drive assembly 500, which is arranged in the box body 100, at least part of the drive assembly 500 is movably arranged in the vertical direction, and the drive assembly 500 is connected to the first blowing assembly 310 to drive the first blowing assembly 310 to move in the vertical direction through the drive assembly 500.

[0083] The implementation of the drive assembly 500 enables the first blowing assembly 310 to automatically move in the vertical direction. This automatic adjustment capability, combined with the control system of the equipment (such as PLC), can achieve precise cleaning of different height areas of the target workpiece, thereby improving the automation level and efficiency of cleaning.

[0084] The precise control of the driving assembly 500 avoids the idling of the first blowing assembly in the non-cleaning area and the ineffective consumption of airflow, reduces the waste of compressed air and electric power resources, realizes energy conservation, and reduces production costs.

[0085] Specifically, if Figure 4 、 Figures 14 to 16 As shown, the driving assembly 500 includes: a transmission component 510, at least a portion of which is movably arranged in the vertical direction, and the transmission component 510 is connected to the first blowing component 310 to drive the first blowing component 310 to move in the vertical direction; a guide component 520, which is arranged in the box body 100 and is located on the side of the transmission component 510, and the guide component 520 extends in the vertical direction, and at least a portion of the first blowing component 310 is connected to the guide component 520 to guide the first blowing component 310 through the guide component 520.

[0086] The connection between the transmission component 510 and the first blowing assembly 310 ensures precise vertical movement of the blowing assembly. The provision of the guide component 520 provides stable guidance for the movement of the first blowing assembly 310. The guide component 520 extends vertically and is partially connected to the first blowing assembly, ensuring the linearity and stability of the assembly during movement.

[0087] The coordinated operation of the transmission component 510 and the guide component 520 ensures the cleaning consistency of the first blowing assembly 310 at different heights. Through precise guidance and transmission control, uneven cleaning results caused by shaking during movement can be avoided, ensuring the cleaning quality of the workpiece surface.

[0088] Among them, the transmission component 510 includes a transmission belt 511, the guide component 520 is a first slide rail, the first blowing component 310 is connected to the transmission belt 511 and the first slide rail respectively, the transmission belt 511 provides power to the first blowing component 310, and the first slide rail guides the first blowing component 310.

[0089] Furthermore, the drive assembly 500 further includes a drive motor 541, a tension idler wheel component 542, a toothed idler wheel component 543, a synchronous toothed belt 561, a first fixed block 562, a second fixed block 563, and a third fixed block 564. The synchronous toothed belt 561 is sequentially sleeved on the tension idler wheel component 542 and the toothed idler wheel component 543. The drive motor 541 drives the transmission belt 511 to move through the synchronous pulley. The transmission belt 511 is connected to the synchronous toothed belt 561 and drives the synchronous toothed belt 561. The tensioning idler wheel component 542 and the toothed idler wheel component 543 are respectively used to adjust the tension and position of the transmission belt 511, wherein the first fixed block 562, the second fixed block 563 and the third fixed block 564 are respectively provided on both sides of the first support frame 311, the two first fixed blocks 562 are connected to the end of a synchronous toothed belt 561, the second fixed block 563 and the third fixed block 564 are connected to the other synchronous toothed belt 561, and the two transmission belts 511 are respectively wound around the toothed belts. The toothed idler wheel component 543 includes a third fixing plate 5431, a toothed idler wheel 5432, a shaft 5433, an adjusting screw 5434 and a retaining spring 5435. There are two third fixing plates 5431, and the two third fixing plates 5431 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart. The two ends of the shaft 5433 are passed through the two third fixing plates 5431 and the shaft 5433 is fixed by the adjusting screw 5434. The shaft 5433 is sleeved with two toothed idler wheels 5432, so that the two gears The two toothed idler wheels 5432 rotate synchronously. The two toothed idler wheels 5432 are respectively used to wind two transmission belts 511. Each transmission belt 511 is provided with a counterweight 530 at one end away from the synchronous toothed belt 561. When the drive motor 541 is driven, the two toothed idler wheels 5432 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two synchronous toothed belts to move, achieving the raising and lowering of the first support frame 311. The counterweight 530 is used to form a gravity balance between the first support frame 311 and the first support frame 311 during the raising process. In addition, a third slide rail is provided on the mounting frame 180 for connecting with the counterweight 530 to guide and support the counterweight 530.

[0090] Specifically, the transmission belt 511 and the synchronous toothed belt 561 are an integrated structure. In order to ensure the gravity balance of the first support frame 311 during the movement, the present application needs to set a synchronous toothed belt 561 at both ends of the first support frame 311. When setting the drive assembly 500, in order to optimize the overall structural layout, the transmission belt 511 is set to two of unequal lengths, one of which is across the partition 110, that is, extending from the first end of the partition 110 to the second end of the partition 110, and its two ends are respectively connected to a counterweight block 530 and a synchronous toothed belt 561, and the driving position of the other transmission belt 511 is located at the first end of the partition 110, and its two ends are respectively connected to another counterweight block 530 and another synchronous toothed belt 561.

[0091] Among them, Figure 14 As shown, since the two synchronous toothed belts 561 are connected to the two ends of the first support frame 311, with their teeth oriented in different directions, the synchronous toothed belts 561 are clamped by two first fixing blocks 562 at one end of the first support frame 311. At the other end of the first support frame 311, the synchronous toothed belts 561 are clamped by two second fixing blocks 563. One of the second fixing blocks 563 is connected to a third fixing block 564, which is connected to the first support frame 311. Preferably, the third fixing block 564 is provided with an embedding groove, into which one of the second fixing blocks 563 is embedded. Since the synchronous toothed belt 561 has a toothed profile on one side and a flat surface on the other, the first fixing block 562 and the second fixing block 563, which are opposite the toothed profiles, are each provided with a corresponding toothed structure to mesh with the synchronous toothed belt 561.

[0092] In another embodiment provided in the present application, the transmission belt 511 and / or the synchronous toothed belt 561 can be replaced with a chain drive, which can adapt to harsher environments and larger loads.

[0093] The driving motor 541 drives the synchronous toothed belt 561 to move through the synchronous pulley, which can provide stable and precise driving force to ensure the accuracy of the vertical movement of the first support frame 311. The synchronous toothed belt 561 is used as the transmission medium. Its high-efficiency transmission characteristics reduce energy loss during movement. Moreover, due to the tooth design of the synchronous toothed belt, non-slip transmission can be achieved, thereby improving the operating efficiency and stability of the equipment.

[0094] The use of the tensioning idler wheel component 542 and the toothed idler wheel component 543 can adjust the tension and position of the synchronous toothed belt 561, ensuring the smoothness and synchronization of the transmission, and avoiding the transmission failure or unstable movement of the first support frame 311 caused by insufficient belt tension or position deviation.

[0095] The design of the counterweight block 530 can balance the gravity between the support frames when the first support frame 311 rises, reducing the load on the drive motor 541. At the same time, based on the principle of gravity balance, it can ensure that the lifting and lowering of the first support frame 311 is more stable, avoiding tilting or shaking caused by unilateral force.

[0096] The coordinated work of all the above components realizes the automatic movement of the first blowing assembly 310 in the vertical direction, reduces manual intervention, improves the level of production automation and efficiency, and also ensures the continuity and consistency of the cleaning process, which is significantly helpful in improving the production capacity and product quality of the production line.

[0097] During the specific implementation process, a partition 110 is provided on the top of the box body 100, dividing the box body 100 into a first installation cavity 101 and a second installation cavity 102; at least part of the drive assembly 500 is provided in the first installation cavity 101, and the blowing device 300 is provided in the second installation cavity 102.

[0098] The interior of the housing 100 is rationally divided by partitions 110, achieving functional isolation and optimized layout between the drive assembly 500 and the air blowing device 300. This design places the power transmission system and the cleaning execution system in separate cavities, preventing interference from airflow, aluminum chips, and other sources on the drive assembly. It also reduces the impact of heat generated by the drive assembly on the cleaning process.

[0099] The drive assembly 500 typically includes components such as a motor and synchronous pulleys, which generate heat during operation. By placing it within the first mounting cavity 101, the isolation effect of the partition 110 can be utilized to prevent heat from being directly transferred to the second mounting cavity 102. This protects temperature-sensitive components such as the air nozzle in the blowing device 300, helping to extend the service life of the entire device.

[0100] Furthermore, if Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the clamping device 200 includes: a support frame 210, which is detachably arranged in the box body 100; a clamping jaw assembly 220, which is arranged on the support frame 210, and there are multiple clamping jaw assemblies 220, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the support frame 210, and the target workpiece is clamped by the multiple clamping jaw assemblies 220.

[0101] Multiple jaw assemblies 220 are spaced apart along the extension of the support frame 210, enabling them to grip the target workpiece from all angles and in all directions. This increases the workpiece's stability and prevents displacement or vibration caused by airflow during the cleaning process. Furthermore, the multiple jaw assemblies design allows for better adaptation to workpieces of varying sizes and shapes, enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the device.

[0102] The support frame 210 is detachably arranged in the box body 100, which means that during routine maintenance or processing of workpieces of specific specifications, the support frame and the clamping jaw assembly thereon can be easily removed and replaced without the need for large-scale adjustment or disassembly of the entire equipment.

[0103] The design of multiple jaw assemblies 220 can ensure the firm clamping of the workpiece without increasing the pressure of a single jaw, avoiding deformation or surface damage of the workpiece caused by excessive pressure of individual jaws, and improving the yield rate of the workpiece and the accuracy of subsequent processing.

[0104] Specifically, each clamping jaw assembly 220 includes a clamping jaw 221, a driving cylinder 222, a third fixed plate 223, a second slide rail 224, and a connector 225. The driving cylinder 222 includes two telescopic rods that extend and retract in opposite directions, the ends of which are respectively connected to the clamping jaws 221. The driving cylinder 222 is also provided with a third fixed plate 223, and two second slide rails 224 are provided on the third fixed plate 223. The two second slide rails 224 are connected to the two clamping jaws 221 via two connectors 225. When the telescopic rod drives the two clamping jaws 221 to open and close, the two second slide rails 224 guide the two clamping jaws 221 respectively. This design can disperse part of the force applied by the cylinder during clamping to the slide rails, thereby increasing the service life of the cylinder. Furthermore, a buffer pad 226 is provided on the clamping surface of each clamping jaw 221 to prevent damage to the surface of the target workpiece when clamping.

[0105] Drive cylinder 222 is equipped with two telescopic rods that extend and retract in opposite directions, precisely controlling the gripping action of jaws 221. This bidirectional design allows the jaws to apply pressure to the target workpiece from both sides simultaneously, ensuring a secure grip. Furthermore, the gripping force can be fine-tuned by controlling the cylinder's extension and retraction distance, preventing over- or under-clamping of the workpiece.

[0106] The second rail 224 provides precise guidance for the movement of the jaws 221, ensuring linearity and stability during jaw opening and closing. Guided by the second rail 224, the jaw assembly, driven by the drive cylinder, can achieve smooth and accurate opening and closing, effectively preventing jaw displacement under high-speed movement or airflow, thereby improving clamping reliability.

[0107] A buffer pad 226 is provided on the clamping surface of the clamping jaw 221, which can reduce the direct contact pressure on the workpiece surface during the clamping process, avoid damage to the workpiece caused by direct clamping by the hard clamping jaws, especially for workpieces with high requirements for surface finish, and can effectively protect their surface from scratches or indentations, thereby improving the quality of the workpiece after cleaning.

[0108] A pad 230 is also provided on the support frame 210, and the pad 230 is arranged below the clamping jaw assembly 220. When the clamping jaw assembly 220 clamps the target workpiece 900, the pad 230 fits with the target workpiece 900 to prevent the support frame 210 and the surface of the target workpiece 900 from being scratched.

[0109] The contact between the pad 230 and the workpiece avoids direct contact between the hard material of the support frame 210 and the surface of the workpiece, reducing the scratches or bumps on the workpiece surface that may be caused by the high hardness of the support frame material; in addition, the pad 230 provides a smooth support surface under the workpiece, which helps to make the workpiece more stable when clamped by the clamping jaw assembly 220, especially when the impact of high-pressure airflow may cause slight vibration of the workpiece during the cleaning process, the pad 230 can play a good stabilizing role, ensuring the safety of the clamping process and the consistency of the cleaning effect.

[0110] In a specific implementation, a supporting plate 211 is provided at the bottom of the support frame 210 for supporting the target workpiece; a leakage hole 212 is provided on the supporting plate 211 , and the leakage hole 212 is opposite to the chip collecting device 400 .

[0111] The precise alignment of the leakage hole 212 on the support plate 211 and the chip collecting device 400 ensures that the aluminum chips discharged from the workpiece surface and the cavity during the air blowing cleaning process can directly fall into the chip collecting device through the leakage hole, avoiding the aluminum chips from floating around in the box, improving the collection efficiency of the aluminum chips, and making the cleaning of the aluminum chips more thorough.

[0112] Directing aluminum chips into the chip collecting device 400 through the leak hole 212 effectively keeps the work area clean and reduces the impact of residual aluminum chips on subsequent operations, such as reduced workpiece cleaning quality or wear and failure of equipment components (such as the clamping device and cleaning device).

[0113] The support frame 210 is also provided with a third sensor 240. The third sensor 240 is an inductive switch or an infrared sensor, and is used to detect whether the target workpiece 900 is present in the gripper assembly 220. When the third sensor 240 detects the presence of the target workpiece 900, it controls the gripper assembly 220 to grip the target workpiece 900 and transmits a signal to the drive assembly 500 and the air blowing device 300, causing the air blowing device 300 to perform a purge operation.

[0114] The side wall of the box body 100 is provided with an opening 103, and the chip collecting device 400 is arranged in the box body 100 so as to be pulled out through the opening 103; a rolling member 120 is provided on the bottom surface of the box body 100, and the rolling member 120 is rotatable around a predetermined axis, and the chip collecting device 400 is in contact with the rolling member 120.

[0115] The opening 103 allows the chip collecting device 400 to be pulled in and out of the housing 100, which greatly facilitates the operator to regularly clean the aluminum chips in the chip collecting device. The chip collecting device can be easily removed without completely disassembling the equipment, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

[0116] The contact between the chip collection device 400 and the rolling element 120 guides aluminum chips along a predetermined path into the chip collection device, preventing them from directly impacting the bottom of the device or the side walls of the housing. This reduces wear and tear within the device and extends its service life. The provision of the rolling element 120 provides a smooth passage for the aluminum chips, reducing blockage or accumulation during chip removal.

[0117] Preferably, the rolling element 120 is a roller.

[0118] During specific implementation, a door panel 130 is provided on the box body 100. The door panel 130 is preferably a rolling door. The rolling door is switched on and off by a PLC, which can be linked to the entire automated production line and cooperate with the robot to realize the switching function before and after loading and unloading. The rolling door can be made of PVC or aluminum alloy. For the environment with a lot of debris and dust such as the aluminum chip cleaning equipment, the use of PVC material can achieve better results. The use of aluminum alloy material may cause debris to get stuck in the rolling door. There is a wire trough on the back for easy wiring, ensuring the overall appearance and neatness of the equipment. The line is led out by the air distribution system, which is a solenoid valve assembly, a triplex and other structures. A lifting ring is provided on the top of the equipment to facilitate the installation of the equipment. In addition to the air circuit inside the equipment, the equipment is provided with a connector for an external air gun, which can be connected to a manual air gun to meet the needs of manual cleaning of aluminum chips. The air gun can be placed on the pendant 160.

[0119] The box body 100 is also provided with a door panel control box 140 and an electrical control box 150. The door panel control box 140 is used to connect with the door panel 130 to control the opening or closing of the door panel 130. The electrical control box 150 is respectively connected with the driving assembly 500, the blowing device 300 and the clamping device 200 to control the operation of each device. The box body 100 includes a wall panel 170. The wall panel 170 is provided with an air circuit mounting plate 171. The air circuit mounting plate 171 is used to fix the solenoid valve 330. The air path mounting plate 171 is provided with a plurality of through-holes, through which the air pipes extend into the interior of the box 100. A space is provided between the air path mounting plate 171 and the wall panel 170. The air pipes extend through the through-holes and are arranged in the space. They are then connected to the first and second air blowing components 312 and 322 via a drag chain. This avoids a cluttered layout of the air pipes within the box 100 and prevents interference between the air pipes and other devices within the box 100. The wall panel 170 is also provided with a heat dissipation portion 172, located above the air path mounting plate 171. The heat dissipation portion 172 includes a plurality of heat dissipation vents or a louver structure.

[0120] A hanger 160 is also provided on the outer wall of the box body 100 , and a connector for an external air gun is provided outside the device, which can be connected to a manual air gun to meet the needs of manually cleaning aluminum chips. The air gun can be placed on the hanger 160 .

[0121] The main frame of the box 100 is divided into three layers. The top layer is the power system including the motor and pulley, the middle layer is the working area, and the bottom layer is the aluminum chip collection area. Figure 3 、 4 As shown, a mounting frame 180 is provided inside the box body 100, and the mounting frame 180 is additionally provided with mounting holes to facilitate the fixing of other parts of the structure. The U-shaped frame 181 is distributed and installed on the left side of the mounting frame 180, and the U-shaped frame 181 provides mounting holes for the guide rail mounting plate 182. The guide rail mounting plate 182 can be designed in multiple sections for processing and installation considerations. In this application, a three-section design of upper, middle and lower sections is adopted, and the U-shaped frame 181 creates conditions for the installation of the first slide rail. The synchronous belt can be fixed to the counterweight block with a synchronous belt toothed clamping member, so that the counterweight block 530 can be raised and lowered with the synchronous belt. In addition, the slide rails and sliders installed on the mounting frame 180 are corresponding and are used to install the blowing device. The crossbeams at the bottom and top of the mounting frame 180 are used to install the clamping device 200. A partition 110 is provided at the top of the interior of the box 100. The partition 110 is a sheet metal part with precise holes at the corresponding positions of the sheet metal to facilitate the passage of structures such as the synchronous belt and the telescopic blowing assembly. The partition 110 can reduce to a certain extent the amount of aluminum chips in the body that are blown to the upper motor, pulley and other structures under the action of the blowing. A chip collection device 400 is provided at the bottom of the body. The chip collection device 400 can be placed directly on the sheet metal at the bottom of the box 100. Considering that long-term friction may damage the structure, a rolling element 120 is added. The rolling element 120 is preferably a steel column ball structure. The steel ball is fixed to the sheet metal at the bottom of the body frame. The chip collection device 400 is placed above the steel ball, and a guide sheet metal 190 serves as a guide for the chip collection device 400. This can reduce wear and achieve smooth pulling of the chip receiving groove. There are multiple U-shaped frames 181, and holes are opened on the two U-shaped frames 181 at the top and bottom ends for installing detection sensors. The U-shaped frame needs to be installed with at least two sets of detection sensors, namely the first sensor 551 and the second sensor 552, which are used to detect whether the blowing device 300 has reached the two extreme positions of the top and bottom.

[0122] Furthermore, a plurality of fourth sensors are provided between the first sensor 551 and the second sensor 552 for detecting the real-time position of the blowing device 300 so as to monitor the movement stroke of the blowing device 300 .

[0123] The box 100 of the present application can replace different clamping devices for different types of parts, for example: Figure 19As shown, the tail beam component support frame 210 of an automobile comprises two supporting longitudinal beams 213, which are connected by multiple supporting crossbeams 214. Each crossbeam 214 is provided with multiple clamping jaw assemblies 220 and pads 230. A supporting backplate 215 is provided at the bottom of the two supporting longitudinal beams 213, and a support plate 211 is mounted on the support backplate 215. The support backplate 215 has holes to ensure that the rear air blowing is not blocked. Part detection sensors are fastened to the crossbeams with sheet metal screws. Each part must have at least one detection sensor to detect whether a part is placed at this workstation, thereby enabling signal exchange with the entire automated line to inform the robot whether a part is present at this workstation.

[0124] like Figure 21 As shown, the support frame for the center beam and the mounting frame for the tail beam are essentially identical in structure. Simply adjust the number and position of the support beams 214 based on the size of the center beam. Because the center beam is narrower in the clamping width than the tail beam, a smaller bore and stroke cylinder can be selected for the clamping cylinder body.

[0125] like Figure 20 As shown, the front beam is equipped with a mounting base 216 and a limit pin 217 to limit the horizontal position of the front beam. Because the front beam is slightly heavier than the tail beam and center beam, each component uses at least two sets of clamping jaw assemblies and at least one set of third sensors for detecting the component.

[0126] The entire machine's operating principle can be explained as follows: The device's power source is a servo motor, which drives a synchronous pulley, which in turn drives a synchronous toothed belt. Two open synchronous toothed belts are fixed to the left and right sides of the air blowing device, respectively. The other side of the transmission belt 511 is connected to the counterweight 530. Sliders are fixed at both ends of the device. Therefore, the first air blowing assembly 310, driven by the motor and counterweight 530, can be raised and lowered along the first slide rail to blow air, achieving comprehensive aluminum chip removal from all sides of the part. Because the first air blowing assembly 310 and the counterweight 530 are connected to a common transmission belt 511, the first air blowing assembly 310 should be at the top when the counterweight 530 is at the bottom. As the first air blowing assembly 310 descends, the counterweight rises. The right side of the first blow assembly 310 is equipped with a drag chain for connecting to the air pipe of the first blow assembly 310. The length and number of drag chain sections can be selected according to needs. When the equipment is in standby mode and no parts are placed, the first blow assembly 310 should be at the top of the equipment, the counterweight 530 should be at the bottom, the telescopic component 321 should be retracted, and the part's jaw assemblies 220 should be in an open position. After the part is placed by a robotic fixture or other equipment, all jaws 221 are clamped. The sensor detects the presence of the part at the workstation and transmits a signal to the PLC, which controls the closing of the rolling shutter door. The first blow assembly 310 begins to move up and down to blow air, the telescopic component 321 extends and retracts, and the second blow assembly 322 extends into the part cavity to blow air to clean aluminum chips from the surface and interior of the part. The bottom layer of the equipment is provided with a chip collecting device 400. Aluminum chips dropped by the air blowing can be collected in the chip collecting device 400. The chip collecting device 400 has a chip collecting trough. The chip collecting trough is equipped with a sensor for detecting whether it is full of aluminum chips. When it is full, the sensor sends a signal, which can trigger an alarm to remind manual cleaning of the aluminum chips in the chip collecting trough in time.

[0127] With the accelerating sales growth of new energy vehicles, the demand for machine tools to process these components has also increased significantly. Battery trays, as an essential component for new energy vehicles, also see significant demand for machine tool processing. Battery trays typically include reinforced structural components such as the tail beam, center beam, and front crossbeam. These components are typically constructed of aluminum alloy to minimize weight in automotive design.

[0128] This application focuses on the use of air blowing to clean three types of parts after machining: the tail beam, center beam, and front cross beam assembly. Since these parts have deep cavities, the use of air blowing to clean aluminum chips requires consideration not only of cleaning the surface of the parts but also of cleaning the internal cavities. Based on the application scenarios of aluminum chip cleaning and the drawback of existing technologies that cause debris to be scattered in the air, this application proposes a universal, enclosed aluminum chip cleaning device for parts such as the tail beam, center beam, and front cross beam of new energy vehicle battery trays.

[0129] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0130] By creating a closed cleaning environment within the housing 100, aluminum chips and dust are prevented from being dispersed into the workshop air during traditional air-blowing cleaning, effectively reducing pollution to the work environment and improving the cleanliness of the workshop. Furthermore, the risks posed by aluminum chips and dust to the health of workers are reduced, thereby improving operational safety.

[0131] The clamping device 200 ensures the stable positioning of the target workpiece during the cleaning process. The annular first blowing assembly 310 can fully cover the outer periphery of the target workpiece, while the top second blowing assembly 320 blows deep into the cavity of the part. This comprehensive cleaning method ensures that aluminum chips are completely removed from both the surface and the interior of the part, improving cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0132] The chip collecting device 400 is located at the bottom of the box body 100 and is designed to be movable so that the cleaned debris can be collected in a centralized manner, avoiding the problem of debris being scattered everywhere and difficult to clean. At the same time, the movable design facilitates regular maintenance and cleaning of the chip collecting device.
