Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plate cleaning technology, and in particular to a plate cleaning device and a steel plate cleaning apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] During transportation and storage, materials such as dunnage and debris can easily adhere to the surface of the sheet metal. It is necessary to clean the surface of these materials, removing items such as dunnage, wooden blocks, or metal pieces, to ensure smooth subsequent processing. This application uses steel sheets as an example; if not cleaned properly, it will affect the quality of subsequent processing, painting, welding, and other procedures.

[0003] In existing technologies, debris on the surface of steel plates is mechanically cleaned using a cleaning device (such as a brush or scraper). This device moves horizontally on the same horizontal plane, pushing the debris from the surface until it falls off to the other side of the plate. However, this method still has several problems during the cleaning process:

[0004] While cleaning devices can remove debris from steel plates, these devices are limited to a single horizontal plane. If the steel plate is warped, the distance between the cleaning device and the surface will be uneven. If the device is too far from the plate, some debris will concentrate in a certain area, preventing thorough cleaning and affecting subsequent processes. For example, these residual debris can affect coating adhesion during painting. If the device is too close, it may make hard contact with the plate, increasing friction and wear, and potentially causing the device to become stuck at a warped point, leading to machine downtime.

[0005] In summary, this application aims to solve a series of problems that occur when steel plates warp, such as incomplete cleaning, accelerated wear of the cleaning device, and potential downtime. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a plate cleaning device and a steel plate cleaning apparatus, which aims to optimize the structure of the cleaning apparatus, improve the cleaning ability of steel plates in a warped state, and reduce the wear between the cleaning apparatus and the steel plate, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning apparatus.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a plate cleaning device, comprising:

[0008] The crossbeam has at least one assembly cavity;

[0009] A cleaning mechanism, configured in the assembly cavity, includes:

[0010] A cleaning component, located below the assembly cavity, includes:

[0011] The cleaning seat slides and lifts at the assembly cavity, and a cleaning section is provided in its forward direction;

[0012] The rollers are attached to the bottom of the cleaning seat;

[0013] The crossbeam sweeps across the top of the plate, and the cleaning components contact the plate via rollers, adaptively raising and lowering the cleaning seat and sweeping unit.

[0014] Furthermore, the cleaning seat is a one-piece molded bent plate, and the cleaning part is the flat surface at one end of the bent plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the cleaning section includes baffles and / or brushes.

[0016] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism includes an adsorption component positioned in the forward direction of the cleaning component, the adsorption component being connected to the lower part of the assembly cavity; one side of the cleaning seat is adsorbed and fixed by the adsorption component, and the side of the cleaning seat away from the adsorption component is rotatably connected to the assembly cavity.

[0017] Furthermore, the adsorption component includes an adsorption seat and an adsorption element. The adsorption seat slides and rises in the assembly cavity, and the adsorption element is connected to the side of the adsorption seat near the cleaning seat. The adsorption element is adsorbed and fixed to the cleaning seat.

[0018] Furthermore, the adsorption element is an electromagnet, which uses magnetic force to attract the cleaning seat.

[0019] Furthermore, the bottom of the suction seat is provided with a bend that extends toward the cleaning seat, thus blocking the gap between the cleaning seat and the suction seat.

[0020] Furthermore, the adsorption base and the bend are integrally formed metal plates.

[0021] Furthermore, an assembly plate is provided inside the assembly cavity, and guide posts are installed on both the cleaning seat and the adsorption seat. An adjustment bracket is connected to the mounting plate, and the adjustment bracket is parallel to the guide post of the adsorption seat. At least one limit switch is configured on the adjustment bracket.

[0022] This application also discloses a steel plate cleaning device, which includes a horizontal moving module, a base, a drive device, a column, and a lifting module. The base moves back and forth along the horizontal moving module. The drive device is disposed on the base. The column is connected to the output end of the drive device. The drive device is used to drive the column to rotate in the horizontal direction. The lifting module is slidably placed on the column, and one side of it is connected to the aforementioned plate cleaning equipment.

[0023] The above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0024] This invention features a cleaning component mounted on a crossbeam. Rollers on the cleaning component move along the upper surface of the plate. A sweeping section on one side of the cleaning seat pushes away debris above the plate. The rollers maintain the distance between the sweeping section and the plate. Driven by the rollers, the sweeping section can adaptively rise and fall, allowing debris to be continuously swept off one end of the plate, preventing debris from remaining on the upper surface and improving the cleaning ability of the steel plate in a warped state. Simultaneously, the rollers automatically rise and fall in the warped portion of the plate, maintaining the distance between the sweeping section and the steel plate, reducing wear between them, and extending the service life of the sweeping section.

[0025] This application also includes an adsorption component, which generates an adsorption force on the cleaning seat through the adsorption element, keeping the cleaning part horizontal in the direction to clean debris from the surface of the plate. If the debris sticks too tightly to the plate, the cleaning seat will automatically detach from the adsorption component, ensuring automatic shutdown and alarm, and preventing damage to the cleaning part due to excessive force, thus playing an automatic protection role. In addition to protecting the cleaning part, the pushing force of the cleaning part can also be adjusted as needed.

[0026] The cleaning unit of this application adopts a combination of baffles and brushes, which can not only clean the pads on the board, but also clean debris, leaves and other objects on the surface of the board through the brushes. The cleaning unit can also magnetically attract metal particles on the board, which greatly improves the cleaning effect of pads, debris and metal particles. Attached Figure Description

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to explain the invention and do not constitute a limitation thereof.

[0036] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a board cleaning device includes a crossbeam 6 and a cleaning mechanism 7. The crossbeam 6 has at least one assembly cavity 61. The cleaning mechanism 7 is disposed in the assembly cavity 61 and includes a cleaning component 76. The cleaning component 76 is located below the assembly cavity 61 and includes a cleaning seat 763 and a roller 764. The cleaning seat 763 slides and rises and falls in the assembly cavity 61, and a cleaning part 7633 is provided in its forward direction. The roller 764 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning seat 763. The crossbeam 6 sweeps across the board, and the cleaning component 76 contacts the board through the roller 764 and adaptively raises and lowers the cleaning seat 763 and the cleaning part 7633. The crossbeam 6 is used to place the cleaning mechanism 7. The number of assembly cavities 61 is set according to the width of the plate. In this application, multiple assembly cavities 61 are arranged sequentially along the length of the crossbeam 6, and a mounting plate 62 is threadedly fixed to the bottom of each assembly cavity 61. The mounting plate 62 is mainly used to connect the cleaning mechanism 7. Of course, the cleaning mechanism 7 can be directly installed on the inner wall of the assembly cavity 61. The cleaning mechanism 7 is connected to the mounting plate 62 by a fixing plate 761, or it can be directly connected to the inner wall of the assembly cavity 61. In this application, in order to improve the convenience of installation, a mounting plate 62 is provided at the bottom of the assembly cavity 61, and the cleaning mechanism 7 is assembled on the mounting plate 62 by a fixing plate 761.

[0037] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the "above" and "below" mentioned in this application are based on the direction of gravity. For example, the cleaning component 76 is placed below the assembly cavity 61, that is, the cleaning component 76 is installed below the assembly cavity 61 in the direction of gravity. The cleaning seat 763 is installed on the fixed plate 761. The cleaning seat 763 is provided with a cleaning part 7633 in the forward direction. If the cleaning seat 763 is a one-way forward cleaning, the plate can only be cleaned again after the crossbeam 6 is reset each time. If the cleaning part 7633 is provided on both sides of the cleaning seat 763, the crossbeam 6 can clean the surface of the plate in both directions. In this application, it is preferable that the cleaning part 7633 is only provided on one side of the cleaning seat 763.

[0038] When the crossbeam 6 moves the cleaning seat 763, the cleaning seat 763 moves downward due to its own weight. The roller 764 below the cleaning seat 763 contacts the surface of the board, causing the cleaning seat 763 to move along the surface of the board. When the board warps, the roller 764 keeps the distance between the cleaning part 7633 and the board fixed. The cleaning part 7633 pushes and collects the pads or other debris on the upper surface of the board, and finally sweeps them off from one side of the crossbeam 6's forward direction. The cleaning part 7633 pushes the pads from the side, which greatly increases the torque for removing the pads and effectively avoids the problem of the pads sticking too tightly. At the same time, the cleaning part 7633 pushes and collects the pads and other debris, improving the cleaning efficiency of the sticky pads or debris.

[0039] In the above solution, the distance between the cleaning part 7633 and the plate is fixed, so that debris can be continuously swept off from the other end of the plate to prevent debris from remaining on the upper surface of the plate. The cleaning part 7633 can adaptively rise and fall under the drive of the roller 764. When the roller 764 contacts the warped part of the plate, the roller 764 rises along the warped part, thereby driving the cleaning part 7633 to rise synchronously. When the roller 764 moves away from the warped part, it synchronously drives the cleaning part 7633 to fall, ensuring that the cleaning part 7633 cleans the upper surface of the plate in an approximately parallel state. That is, the adaptive rising and falling of this application not only ensures the debris cleaning ability of the cleaning part 7633, but also reduces the frictional wear between the cleaning part 7633 and the plate, and improves the service life of the cleaning part 7633.

[0040] like Figure 6As shown, the cleaning seat 763 can be a block or other spliced ​​frame. In this application, the cleaning seat 763 is preferably a one-piece bent plate 7631. The cleaning part 7633 is the plane at one end of the bent plate 7631. That is, the bent plate 7631 can be used to clean up debris. The bottom end of the cleaning part 7633 is slightly higher than the roller 764. When the roller 764 moves along the length of the plate, the cleaning part 7633 pushes and cleans up debris of different heights, such as wooden blocks or other blocks. In addition, the cleaning part 7633 can be set in different shapes, such as L-shaped, which helps to remove wooden blocks or debris.

[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, to further improve the usage effect, the cleaning section 7633 may also include a baffle 765 and / or a brush. The baffle 765 is installed at the end of the cleaning section 7633 and has an angle to guide debris, causing the pad wood or debris to gather towards the center of the board and preventing it from falling off the side of the board. The brush can be installed at the lower hole of the cleaning section 7633 (not shown in the figure). When the crossbeam 6 moves along the length of the board, the brush can clean the debris on the surface of the board. The cleaning section 7633 removes the pad wood or blocks, the baffle 765 gathers the debris in the center, and the brush sweeps away the debris on the surface of the board, such as leaves and debris. Finally, the cleaning work on the surface of the board is completed after the pad wood is removed, which improves the cleaning effect.

[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 7 includes an adsorption component 75, which is positioned at the front of the cleaning component 76 in the forward direction and is connected to the lower part of the assembly cavity 61. One side of the cleaning seat 763 is adsorbed and fixed by the adsorption component 75, and the side of the cleaning seat 763 away from the adsorption component 75 is rotatably connected to the assembly cavity 61. The cleaning seat 763 moves along the length of the plate and is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 62 inside the assembly cavity 61. In this application, it is preferable that the cleaning seat 763 is fixed to the fixing plate 761, and the fixing plate 761 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 62, so as to realize the rotation between the cleaning seat 763 and the assembly cavity 61. The cleaning seat 763 is connected to the mounting plate 62 and is held in place by the suction component 75. This ensures that the cleaning seat 763 can push the cleaning part against the pad or debris. In this embodiment, if the debris is too tightly stuck to the plate, the cleaning part 7633 is not enough to push the debris off the surface of the plate, and the squeezing force of the cleaning part 7633 exceeds the suction force of the suction component 75. At this time, the cleaning seat 763 automatically detaches from the suction component 75 and rotates relative to the mounting plate 62, ensuring that it automatically stops and alarms, preventing the cleaning part 7633 from being damaged due to excessive force, and playing an automatic protection role. At the same time, the suction component 75 can also adjust the suction force as needed.

[0043] Specifically, the adsorption component 75 includes an adsorption seat 751 and an adsorption element 752. The adsorption seat 751 slides and rises in the assembly cavity 61, that is, the adsorption seat 751 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 62 along a direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the mounting plate 62. The adsorption element 752 is connected to the side of the adsorption seat 751 near the cleaning seat 763, and the adsorption element 752 is adsorbed and fixed to the cleaning seat 763. The height of the adsorption seat 751 can be adjusted along the mounting plate 62. As the cleaning component 76 moves downward due to gravity, the adsorption seat 751 can rise and fall synchronously according to the cleaning component 76, improving adaptability.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the adsorption member 752 is preferably an electromagnet, which generates magnetic force when energized and adsorbs onto the cleaning seat 763. The electromagnet generates magnetic force by connecting a power source, thus adsorbing the cleaning seat 763. In this application, an adsorption plate 7632 is installed at the top of the cleaning seat 763. The adsorption plate 7632 is U-shaped, and one side of it is adsorbed onto the electromagnet to fix the cleaning seat 763 and the electromagnet, allowing the cleaning part 7633 to remove the padding and debris from the surface of the plate.

[0045] In actual products, the adsorption plate 7632 can be replaced by an accessory of the cleaning seat 763, such as the adsorption plate 7632 being integrally formed on the top of the cleaning seat 763. In this application, the adsorption plate 7632 is installed as an independent part on the top of the cleaning seat 763. The purpose is to increase the contact surface between the adsorption plate 7632 and the electromagnet, increase the adsorption force, and isolate the deformation and vibration caused by the pushing of the cleaning part 7633 from the adsorption plate 7632 as much as possible.

[0046] In actual use, due to the attraction of the electromagnet to the adsorption plate 7632, and the connection between the adsorption plate 7632 and the cleaning part 7633, both of which are made of metal, a partial magnetic force is generated at the cleaning part 7633. This partial magnetic force can attract small metal particles on the surface of the steel plate, further improving the cleanliness of the plate. When the cleaning part 7633 is removed from the top of the plate, the magnetic field can be deactivated by the adsorption component 752 to maintain the cleaning part 7633 and clean the debris on its surface.

[0047] like Figure 6As shown, the bottom of the adsorption seat 751 is provided with a bend 753, which extends toward the cleaning seat 763 to cover the gap between the cleaning seat 763 and the adsorption seat 751. Preferably, the bend 753 abuts against the side wall of the cleaning seat 763. The sweeping part 7633 restricts the pad wood to the middle of the board body via a baffle 765. The brush sweeps away leaves and debris. The sweeping part 7633 can adsorb small metal particles on the surface of the steel plate. The bend 753 not only prevents dust from falling near the adsorption element 752, but also prevents debris from extending to the adsorption element 752, so as not to affect the adsorption force of the adsorption element 752 on the adsorption plate 7632. Furthermore, when the adsorption seat 751 falls onto the board body, the bend 753 contacts the board body to prevent damage to the adsorption element 752.

[0048] To improve structural simplification, the adsorption base 751 and the bend 753 are integrally formed metal plates, which reduces the overall weight of the downward movement and also leaves space for installing electromagnets, improving the overall layout regularity. In addition, when the cleaning part 7633 adsorbs small metal particles on the surface of the steel plate, since the bend 753 and the adsorption base 751 are integrally formed, the bend 753 can contact the cleaning base 763, and the magnetic force of the bend 753 can be transferred to the cleaning part 7633, enhancing the adsorption effect of the cleaning part 7633 on metal particles.

[0049] In addition to using an electromagnet, the adsorption element 752 of this application can also be adopted by negative pressure adsorption, such as using a vacuum pump to generate adsorption force and apply negative pressure to the adsorption plate 7632, which can also achieve the above effect. However, it is preferred that the adsorption element 752 is an electromagnet. Both of the above methods can adjust the adsorption force on the adsorption plate 7632.

[0050] When the aforementioned adsorption plate 7632 separates from the adsorption element 752, the crossbeam 6 will stop moving. At this time, manual intervention is required to reset the adsorption element 752 and the adsorption plate 7632.

[0051] like Figures 3-6As shown, guide posts 72 are installed on both the cleaning seat 763 and the adsorption seat 751. An adjusting bracket 71 is connected to the mounting plate 62. The adjusting bracket 71 is parallel to the guide posts 72 of the adsorption seat 751, and at least one limit switch 74 is configured on the adjusting bracket 71. The adjusting bracket 71 has a vertical groove to facilitate the installation of the limit switches 74 at different heights. In this application, two limit switches 74 are installed on the groove of the adjusting bracket 71, representing the vertical movement range of the guide posts 72, i.e., the movement is stopped immediately if the movement exceeds this range. In addition, the limit switches 74 can be configured according to desired functions. An elastic element 762 is installed on the outside of the guide post 72 of the cleaning seat 763. The elastic element 762 is preferably a spring. When the cleaning seat 763 moves downward under its own weight, the spring acts as a buffer to reduce the fluctuation when the roller 764 moves forward. A lifting bracket 73 is installed on the guide post 72 at the top of the adsorption seat 751. The lifting bracket 73 is adapted to the limit switch 74. When the guide post 72 follows the roller 764 to achieve height adjustment, the guide post 72 triggers the limit switch 74 through the lifting bracket 73. For example, during the upward movement of the guide post 72, the top of the lifting bracket 73 triggers the upper limit switch 74; during the downward movement of the guide post 72, the bottom of the lifting bracket 73 triggers the lower limit switch 74. The guide post 72 extends through the lifting bracket 73 and triggers the limit switch 74 during the lifting process, thereby limiting the range of vertical movement of the guide post 72.

[0052] When the cleaning part 7633 touches the tightly adhered pad on the upper surface of the plate, the fixing plate 761, cleaning seat 763, roller 764, bending plate 7631, and guide post 72 on the bending plate 7631 rotate together relative to the mounting plate 62, ensuring that the cleaning equipment automatically stops and alarms, preventing the cleaning part 7633 from being damaged due to excessive force, and playing an automatic protection role.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, a steel plate cleaning device includes a transverse module 1, a base 2, a drive unit 3, a column 4, and a lifting module 5. The base 2 moves back and forth along the transverse module 1. The drive unit 3 is mounted on the base 2, and the column 4 is connected to the output end of the drive unit 3. The drive unit 3 drives the column 4 to rotate horizontally. The lifting module 5 is slidably placed on the column 4, and one side of it is connected to the aforementioned plate cleaning equipment. The transverse module 1 drives the base 2 to move back and forth, facilitating the cleaning of steel plates at different locations according to the production line. The drive unit 3 uses a combination of a motor and a reducer, with the motor driving multiple gears to achieve high torque rotation. The column 4 acts as a guide rail, allowing the lifting module 5 to adjust its height along the column 4, lowering the crossbeam 6 to steel plates of different heights on the truck, thus aiding in cleaning operations.

Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
